The purpose of this study was to validate a work–life balance model based on Islamic narrations from the perspective of employees of a government organization in Tehran. This study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of methodology. The statistical population consisted of all employees working at the headquarters of the selected organization, from whom 127 participants were selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire developed based on the work–life balance model derived from Islamic narrations (Golavar & Mirsapasi, 2025). The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach, Cronbach’s alpha coefficient, and Pearson’s correlation coefficient.

The findings indicated that convergent validity was confirmed through the Average Variance Extracted (AVE), while discriminant validity was confirmed using the Fornell–Larcker criterion. In addition, the reliability of the measurement instrument was found to be satisfactory based on Cronbach’s alpha and composite reliability values. The results of Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed that all three dimensions of the model (individual, organizational, and social) had positive and significant relationships with work–life balance.

Accordingly, the proposed model can serve as a valid framework for measuring and analyzing work–life balance based on Islamic narrations in governmental organizations and can be utilized by researchers, managers, and policymakers
