Abstract Organizational culture holds a pivotal position in enhancing the job performance of employees. The study posits that a strong, cohesive organizational culture, characterized by adherence to shared aims and values, can enhance job performance among IT professionals. It explores how organizational commitment and work-life balance acts as crucial intermediaries, potentially improving job standards, engagement and ultimately performance. The research acknowledges that the dynamics of organizational culture, commitment and work-life balance are complex as well as multifaceted, impacting various aspects of job performance and employee well-being. The sample consisted of 347 IT employees (Males=262, Females=85) and they were selected by convenient sampling from Islamabad and Rawalpindi. Organizational culture was measured by using the Shorter Version of Denison Organizational Culture Scale (Fey & Denison, 2003). Job performance was measured by using Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (Koopman, 2015), Organizational commitment by Organizational Commitment Scale (Mowday et al., 1979) and Work-Life Balance by Work-Life Balance scale (TaşdelenKarçkay & Bakalım, 2017). Measures used in the study depicted satisfactory and acceptable reliability. The research was conducted in two phases i:e. pilot study and main study. The results of both pilot study and main study indicated that organizational culture is significantly and positively related with job performance. Regression analysis also shows similar results. Organizational culture positively predicted job performance. Mediation analysis revealed that work life balance and organizational commitment acts as mediator between the dimensions of organizational culture and job performance. The t-test was applied on education, gender, marital status, working hours and job experience to see the effect of organizational culture, job performance, organizational commitment and work life balance. ANOVA was carried out on job designation and the outcome obtained exhibited that job designation has noteworthy influence with the variables studied in this research. The implications of studying the effect of organizational culture on job performance, mediated by organizational commitment and worklife balance, offer valuable insights for enhancing organizational effectiveness and employee well-being in the modern workplace. Due to the significant effects of work-life balance, managers should create and implement family friendly policies including teleworking, reasonable workloads and flexible work schedules. Hence, organizational support helps employees in managing their work and non-work domains of life.
