The Influence of Work Life Balance to Subjective Wellbeing on Women Working in PTPN II

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of work-life balance on the subjective well-being of women who work in PTPNII. The subjects of this study were 79 women who worked in PTPN II. The approach used in this research is quantitative. The data were collected Using work-life balance scale and the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SwLS) as measuring instruments and were analyzed statistically using a simple regression analysis. The results of statistical analysis show that simultaneously, work-life balance has a significant positive effect on subjective well-being. The determinant coefficient (R square) shows a value of 0.068 meaning that subjective well-being is influenced by work-life balance of 6.8%. Working conditions and work environment that require individuals to continue to be productive, as well as working time pressuresare challenges for individuals that have an effect on subjective well-being. This research may provide information for policymakers in implementing better human resource policies, such as enhancing employees’ psychological well-being by balancing the intensity of task difficulty with adequate working time and staffing level.
