    The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between work-life integration, gender differences, and employee well-being among employees of selected NGOs in Uganda. Specifically, it sought to determine the moderating role of gender differences in the relationship between work-life integration and employee well-being. The problem addressed by the study was noted decline in employee well-being within selected NGOs, exacerbated by high job demands and gendered work-life balance challenges. The study employed a quantitative, cross-sectional research design, capturing data from 240 respondents out of a target population of 3,000 NGO employees using structured questionnaires. The sample size was 341, with data collected using a 5-point Likert scale. The findings revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between work-life integration and employee well-being (r = .471**), suggesting that improvements in work-life integration are associated with enhanced well-being. Gender differences were also found to have a moderate positive relationship with employee well-being (r = .431**), with female specific responsibilities showing a stronger correlation than male-specific ones. Regression analysis indicated that both work-life integration and gender differences were significant predictors of employee well-being, with work-life integration having a stronger predictive potential. Gender differences were found to moderate the relationship between work-life integration and employee well-being, where higher gender differences led to a more pronounced positive effect of work-life integration on employee well-being. The study recommends that NGOs implement clear work-life boundary policies, establish flexible working hours, and provide mental health support tailored to gender-specific needs. These measures would help improve employee well-being, particularly for women juggling domestic and professional roles. Further, NGOs should foster open communication between staff and management to better accommodate employee needs and enhance well-being across gender lines. These findings have significant implications for the NGO sector in Uganda, offering insights into how work-life integration strategies, informed by gender considerations, can enhance organizational support and employee satisfaction.
