Three predictors that were evaluated using each worker's performance as the dependent variable served as the study's guidelines. Work-life balance, financial stability, and job security are among the predictors. The adopted quantitative research approach with a cross-sectional study design.

The results revealed that, that there was a significant positive relationship between job security and individual workers' performance in higher learning institutions in Tanzania. The results of the regression accounted for 52.4% of individual workers' performance F (1,73) = 117, p = 0.00 these results were significant at p < 0.05 level. Also, the study found that there was a significant positive relationship between financial and individual workers' performance in higher learning institutions in Tanzania. The results of the linear regression analysis accounted for 85.4% of individual workers' performance F (1,73) = 105, p = 0.00 and these results were significant at p < 0.05 level. Moreover, the results indicated that there was a significant positive relationship between work-life balance and individual workers' performance in higher learning institutions in Tanzania. Simple linear regression analysis results accounted for 69.2% of individual workers' performance F (1,73) = 129, p = 0.00, and these results were significant at p < 0.05 level. The study recommended that higher learning institutions have to ensure job security, financial security, and work-life balance because they all influence employee performance in institutions.
