The Role of Work Life Balance in Increasing Job Satisfaction and Em-ployee Well Being
Abstract
Abstract. This study aims to explain the effect of work-life balance on job satisfaction and employee wellbeing, as well as the impact of job satisfaction on employee wellbeing. Data for this study were obtained through an online questionnaire using a 7-point Likert scale filled out by all employees with a total of 69 respondents at PLN UIK Tanjung Jati B. The analysis method used is Partial Least Square (PLS), an alternative method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), which involves evaluating the outer and inner models and testing hypotheses. The results of the analysis show that work-life balance has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction and employee wellbeing. In addition, job satisfaction also has a positive effect on employee wellbeing. This study emphasizes the importance of organizations in creating a work environment that supports work-life balance. The implication of this study is that by paying attention to the work-life balance aspect, organizations can improve employee job satisfaction and directly contribute to improving employee wellbeing. This study provides valuable insights for human resource practitioners and company leaders to develop better strategies and policies in managing work-life balance and improving job satisfaction and employee wellbeing.
