The findings show that women do not perceive dual roles as a burden but as an integral part of their identities. Family support, effective communication, and the presence of community are crucial in developing time management strategies and maintaining balance between domestic and professional responsibilities. The study also reveals that involvement in WCC Bandung provides women with a platform to express themselves, build solidarity, and gain emotional support from peers who share similar challenges. Cycling activities are not only a hobby but also serve as a medium for stress release, physical health improvement, and social networking. The study concludes that participation in WCC Bandung helps women construct an empowered, flexible, and harmonious self-identity through social support and a positive community environment, ultimately shaping a more holistic understanding of work life balance in their everyday lives.

Football supporters are often referred to as the "12th player" due to their crucial role in creating a lively match atmosphere and boosting players' morale. Nearly every province or city in Indonesia has its own football club and a passionate fanbase. Notable examples include The Jakmania (supporters of Persija Jakarta), Bobotoh (Persib Bandung), and Bonek (Persebaya Surabaya). The challenges faced by these supporters extend beyond organizational involvement and relate closely to their ability to manage and allocate time effectively between work and non-work domains.

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) plays a vital role in supporting organizational effectiveness and efficiency, as it reflects employees’ voluntary behaviors that go beyond formal job responsibilities and contribute to overall organizational performance. Therefore, it is important for organizations to understand the factors that can enhance OCB among their employees. This study aims to analyze the influence of Work-Life Balance, Work Environment, and Work Motivation on Organizational Citizenship Behavior at PT Gogomedia Visindo Tangerang. The research employed a quantitative approach with a sample of 100 respondents selected through non-probability sampling using a snowball sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires measured on a Likert scale and analyzed using Microsoft Excel 2021 and SPSS version 22. The data analysis methods included correlation tests and multiple linear regression analysis to examine both the relationships and effects among the variables. The results indicate that Work-Life Balance, Work Environment, and Work Motivation have a positive and significant influence on Organizational Citizenship Behavior, both partially and simultaneously. This finding suggests that better work-life balance, a supportive work environment, and higher motivation levels encourage employees to demonstrate stronger OCB. The study emphasizes the strategic importance of organizational initiatives that foster employee well-being, provide conducive working conditions, and maintain high levels of motivation. By doing so, organizations can strengthen employee commitment, maximize contributions, and enhance long-term organizational performance.

The research findings indicate that, on a partial basis, only the Work-Life Balance variable has a significant effect on employee performance, with a significance value of 0.029 and a t-value of 2.311. In contrast, the Physical Work Environment and Interpersonal Communication variables show no significant impact, with significance values of 0.774 (t-value -0.290) and 0.217 (t-value 1.264), respectively. Simultaneously, the three variables do not exhibit a significant influence on performance, as evidenced by a significance value of 0.056 on an F-value of 2.845. The coefficient of determination (Adjusted R²) of 0.240 suggests that the model explains only 24% of the variability in employee performance. These results imply that employee performance at PT Daihatsu Jolo Abadi is more strongly influenced by work-life balance than by the physical work environment or social interactions in the workplace. Therefore, strengthening work-life balance should be a strategic priority for enhancing performance, alongside exploring other relevant variables for future studies.

This study aims to determine the contribution of work-family balance to work engagement in employees in long-distance marriages (LDM). The phenomenon of LDM is becoming increasingly common in the modern workplace, especially for couples who must live apart due to work demands in different locations. This condition can pose challenges in maintaining a balance between work and family life demands, which in turn can affect individual engagement in their work. Therefore, this study is important to understand the extent to which work-family balance plays a role in increasing the morale and work engagement of employees in LDM. This study involved 41 employees in LDM, with ages ranging from 24 to 50 years. The data collection method used two measuring instruments: the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale (UWES) developed by Schaufeli and Bakker (2004), and the work-family balance scale developed by Carlson et al. (2009). Data analysis was conducted using simple regression analysis techniques to determine the contribution of the independent variables to the dependent variable. The results showed that work-family balance contributed 65% to work engagement in employees in LDM. These findings indicate that the higher the level of work-family balance, the higher the employee's engagement in their work. Therefore, it is important for organizations to create policies and work environments that support work-family balance, especially for employees in long-distance marriages.

Character education is a fundamental aspect in the effort to shape individuals with morals, ethics, and responsibility amidst the currents of globalization and modernization. The phenomenon of moral crisis, ethical degradation, and dehumanization emphasizes the urgency of character education that is not only oriented towards intellectual intelligence, but also emphasizes spiritual and social values. In this context, the thoughts of Ahmad Amin, a modern Islamic thinker, are relevant to be re-examined. Ahmad Amin emphasized the importance of Islamic values ​​as a foundation for ethics and morality that are both universal and contextual, thus able to address the needs of modern humans who are facing complex challenges in various aspects of life. This study uses a library research method with a qualitative approach. The main data sources are Ahmad Amin's works related to the concept of morals and education, supplemented by supporting literature discussing character education and its relevance in today's development. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically to examine Ahmad Amin's ideas and relate them to the needs of modern society. The results of the study indicate that Ahmad Amin's thoughts on character education are rooted in Islamic moral principles that emphasize the balance between spiritual, intellectual, and social aspects. Values ​​such as honesty, responsibility, discipline, and social awareness are at the heart of healthy character development. This thinking is relevant to the needs of the modern era, marked by a moral crisis, and therefore can serve as an alternative paradigm for character education that adapts to current developments while remaining grounded in Islamic values. Therefore, it can be concluded that Ahmad Amin's thinking is not only of historical value but also makes a significant contribution to developing character education based on Islamic values, capable of maintaining spiritual orientation while addressing the challenges of modernity.

The shift towards flexible working arrangements (FWA), especially in the context of remote work or work-from-home (WFH) settings, has prompted organizations to rethink how flexibility impacts employee performance. While FWA offers potential benefits such as improved work-life balance and autonomy, it can also create challenges related to time management, coordination, and communication—particularly in the absence of adequate support from supervisors. This study addresses the problem of whether work flexibility alone is sufficient to enhance employee performance, or if perceived supervisor support (PSS) serves as a mediating factor in this relationship. The objective of this research is to investigate the role of PSS as a mediator between FWA and employee performance. A quantitative research method was employed, with data collected via structured questionnaires distributed to 35 employees working under flexible arrangements. The collected data were then analyzed using statistical techniques to assess both direct and indirect relationships among the variables. The findings indicate that while FWA does not directly improve employee performance, it significantly enhances employees’ perception of supervisor support. Furthermore, PSS was found to have a strong positive influence on performance outcomes. These results suggest that flexibility in work arrangements must be complemented by consistent and active supervisory engagement to yield positive effects on employee performance. In conclusion, the study emphasizes that PSS plays a critical mediating role in the FWA–performance link. Organizations seeking to implement or optimize flexible work policies should prioritize supervisor training and engagement strategies to ensure that flexibility translates into measurable performance improvements. Future research may explore these dynamics in larger populations and across different industries.

Job satisfaction is a crucial indicator in achieving optimal employee performance. Satisfied employees tend to be more productive and perform better in their roles. Various factors affect job satisfaction, including career development and work-life balance. Career development provides direction and motivation for employees to reach higher career levels, enhancing their sense of achievement and attachment to their work. Meanwhile, work-life balance plays an essential role in maintaining a balance between work responsibilities and personal life. A good balance helps prevent stress, burnout, and improves overall employee well-being. This study aims to examine the impact of career development and work-life balance on job satisfaction among production employees in the Speaker Department at PT X. The research used a quantitative method with a causal associative approach. Total sampling was applied, involving 71 respondents from the department. Data were collected through direct observation and questionnaires focusing on employees' perceptions of career development and their work-life balance. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 with various statistical tests, including validity, reliability, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, f-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The results showed that both career development and work-life balance positively and significantly influence job satisfaction, both partially and simultaneously. These two factors collectively impact the job satisfaction levels of employees in the company. These findings offer strategic insights for human resource management, which can be used to design better policies that support employee satisfaction and performance.

This study explores the impact of emotional intelligence and work–life balance on organizational commitment, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable, in the context of couriers at JNE Denpasar. Utilizing a quantitative research design, the study applies Partial Least Square (PLS) Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze data collected from 56 participants through a census sampling method. The findings reveal that emotional intelligence has a direct and significant effect on organizational commitment, indicating that employees with higher emotional intelligence tend to demonstrate stronger loyalty and dedication to their organization. However, emotional intelligence does not show a significant influence on job satisfaction, suggesting that other factors may contribute to employees' overall contentment at work. Conversely, work–life balance significantly affects job satisfaction, highlighting the importance of maintaining a healthy equilibrium between professional and personal responsibilities. Despite this, work–life balance does not directly influence organizational commitment. Further analysis indicates that job satisfaction fully mediates the relationship between work–life balance and organizational commitment, demonstrating that employees who achieve a better work–life balance are more likely to be satisfied with their jobs, which in turn enhances their commitment to the organization. However, job satisfaction does not serve as a mediator between emotional intelligence and organizational commitment, implying a more direct pathway between these two variables. These results align with the Theory of Planned Behavior, emphasizing that positive attitudes, reflected through job satisfaction, play a critical role in fostering behaviors associated with organizational commitment. From a practical perspective, the study highlights the importance for companies, particularly in the logistics industry, to invest in initiatives that enhance emotional intelligence and promote effective work–life balance strategies. By doing so, organizations can cultivate stronger employee loyalty, improve engagement, and foster a more committed workforce, ultimately contributing to better organizational performance and stability.

The research used a quantitative method with a survey approach, distributing online questionnaires to 100 respondents who belong to Generation Z. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Square (PLS) technique with the help of SmartPLS 3.0 software. The results show that work life balance, career development, and Compensation  have a negative and significant influence in reducing turnover intention. Generation Z employees who experience a balance between work and personal life, have career development opportunities, and receive adequate Compensation  tend to show higher loyalty to the company.

This study aims to analyze and describe the regulation of furniture business permits in Alak District, Manutapen Village, Kupang City, within the framework of regional and national legal provisions. Business permits are a vital aspect of legality, providing legal certainty and protection for entrepreneurs. Despite this importance, many wooden furniture businesses continue to operate without official permits. Several factors contribute to this issue, including limited knowledge of regulatory requirements, inadequate access to facilities and administrative services, and the perception among entrepreneurs that small-scale businesses do not necessarily require permits. This research adopts an empirical approach, employing semi-structured interviews with local furniture business owners who have not yet obtained permits. The findings reveal that although the government has made efforts to disseminate information and promote the importance of business permits, these initiatives have not been fully effective. Many entrepreneurs remain unaware of the legal obligations and the potential benefits that permits can provide, such as protection against legal disputes and opportunities for broader business development. The study further identifies both positive and negative impacts of the furniture industry in the local community. On the positive side, furniture businesses significantly contribute to household income, create new job opportunities, and foster creativity through innovative craftsmanship. On the negative side, they also cause environmental issues such as waste and pollution, reduce agricultural land due to the expansion of workshops, and influence lifestyle changes within the community. Based on these findings, the study concludes that the government must strengthen its role by enhancing outreach and education programs, simplifying the permit application process, and providing better support services to entrepreneurs. Additionally, active participation from business owners is crucial to ensure compliance with legal frameworks and to achieve a sustainable balance between economic growth, social welfare, and environmental preservation.

Happiness is the ultimate goal of every human aspiration. To achieve it to the fullest, humans strive to utilize all their potential. However, in practice, conflicts often arise between personal interests and the interests of others. The desire to realize all dreams becomes problematic when carried out without regard for moral values, especially in a household life built through the sacred bond of marriage. Many married couples fail to create domestic happiness due to uncontrolled ambition. This ambition, when not balanced with ethics and morals, has the potential to cause domestic conflict that results in the neglect of children's education in the family. A current widespread phenomenon shows that married couples spend more time outside the home for work reasons. This opens up opportunities for promiscuity in public spaces and reduces attention to family. If this phenomenon continues, serious problems in the family will become increasingly apparent. The rights and obligations of husband and wife are neglected, affection for children is diminished, and ultimately children feel more comfortable seeking environments outside the home. This condition becomes the entry point for negative speculation from society about married couples who are considered negligent in their household obligations. This research is expected to provide a significant contribution to understanding how families should function optimally. By placing religion as a foundation and making ethics and morals the foundation of social interactions, families can return to their true nature as the birthplace of quality generations with character, ethics, and spiritual values.  

This study aims to analyze the influence of work-life balance and workload on turnover intention, with work stress as a mediating variable in employees of PT Semarang Garment. The phenomenon of high turnover in the garment industry is the background of this study, which is triggered by large production targets, high work pressure, and imbalance between work and personal life. These conditions have the potential to reduce employee welfare and increase the desire to leave the company. This study uses a quantitative method with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis techniques using AMOS version 24. The research sample of 360 respondents was selected through a simple random sampling technique, and data was collected using a structured online questionnaire. The results of the analysis show that: (1) Work-life balance does not have a significant effect on turnover intention, but has a significant negative effect on work stress, which means the better the work-life balance, the lower the level of work stress; (2) Workload has a significant positive effect on work stress, but does not have a significant effect on turnover intention; (3) Work stress has a significant positive effect on turnover intention, which indicates that the higher the work stress, the greater the employee's desire to leave. Furthermore, it was found that job stress mediates the relationship between work-life balance and turnover intention, so improving work-life balance can indirectly reduce turnover intention through reduced job stress. Theoretically, this study adds to the human resource management literature on factors influencing turnover intention. Practically, the results recommend that company management create a healthy work environment, manage workloads proportionally, and design policies that support work-life balance to reduce turnover intention.
