Abstract


In the era of globalization, changes in work patterns that are increasingly dynamic require organizations to create a work environment that is not only productive but also supports the balance between personal and work life. The formulation of the problem in this study is how the influence of work-life balance on the quality of work life and employee well-being, and how the influence of the quality of work life on employee well-being. This study aims to test and analyze the relationship between the three variables on employees of PT Sawit Sumbermas Sarana, Tbk. This research uses a quantitative approach with a survey method through distributing questionnaires online through Google Form with a 7-point Likert scale to respondents as employees at the company of PT Sawit Sumbermas Sarana, Tbk. which has a Key Performance Indicator (KPI) with a sample size of 100 respondents. Data analysis techniques are carried out using the Partial Least Square (PLS) application as an alternative method of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) by evaluating research from the outer model and inner model and hypothesis testing. The results showed that Work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on the Quality of Work-life and Employee Well-being. However, Quality of Work-life does not have a significant effect on Employee Well-being. The findings indicate the important role of work-life balance in improving perceptions of quality of work-life and employee well-being. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the need for managerial support in shaping work policies oriented towards work-life balance and employee well-being in long-term projects.
