The sample consisted of 264 employees from a supplement manufacturer in Chon Buri. A questionnaire was used to collect data through proportionate stratified sampling. The statistics used in the research were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis, and the structural equation models.
The results of the research revealed that; 1) The level of work-life balance, workplace spirituality and employee performance is at a high level. Mean and standard deviation were, =4.05, SD=0.59; =4.15 , SD=0.58 and =4.17, SD=0.55. 2) The path analysis results show that work-life balance and workplace spirituality have a significant, direct positive impact on employee performance.
