Abstract The rapid rise of smartphone dependency in professional environments has created new challenges for employees attempting to maintain a healthy work–life balance. This study examines whether smartphone overuse and psychological impact jointly predict work–life balance impairment among urban employees in Didwana - Kuchaman. Using a descriptive research design and data collected from 208 working professionals aged 25 to 45 years, the study applied multiple regression to assess combined predictors. The results show that smartphone overuse and psychological impact significantly predict work–life balance impairment, F(2, 205) = 68.58, p < .001, explaining 40.1 per cent of variance. Psychological impact emerged as the stronger predictor, B = 0.648, t(205) = 10.37, p < .001, while smartphone overuse became non-significant in the combined model. These findings highlight that employees’ emotional fatigue, mental strain and difficulty disengaging from digital demands play a central role in shaping work–life imbalance. The study contributes valuable insights for organisations aiming to mitigate digital overload and strengthen wellbeing frameworks.
