Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the moderation role of organizational support and the mediation role of motivation to lead on the relationship between work-life balance and leadership effectiveness. The study aimed to test this model empirically by collecting and analyzing data from 250 women employees working in various sectors in Turkey. In this study it is found that work-life balance has a positive effect on both motivations to lead and leadership effectiveness, that motivation to lead mediates the effect of work-life balance on leadership effectiveness, and that organizational support moderates the effect of work-life balance on leadership effectiveness. The study also expected to find that these effects are consistent with self-determination theory, meaning that work-life balance, motivation to lead, organizational support and leadership effectiveness are related to the satisfaction of the needs for autonomy, competence, and relatedness among women employees.
