Objective: Mental health can be negatively affected if work and private life demands are not balanced. This study proposes exploring work-life balance (WLB) as a predictor of Generation Z's mental health outcomes.
Methods: A cross-sectional online study was conducted to collect data on mental health outcomes and WLB from a sample of Generation Z (N = 134). Three regression models were calculated to examine the predictive effect of WLB on stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms.
Results: The results show a strong statistically significant association between all three mental health outcomes. The regression model suggests work-life balance as a predictor of stress (β =.-0.404 P = 0.001, R2 = 0.16) and anxiety (β = .-256 P = 0.001, R2 = 0.06).
Conclusion: WLB must be considered a significant factor in mental health problems among Generation Z.

With younger people, they can lead to poorer health outcomes in adulthood, and in older people they can be associated with an increased risk of mortality. The presence of a disability is considered a risk factor for unmet needs.
