Work-life balance is a condition where an individual is able to maintain a balance between the world of work and personal life in a sustainable manner. This balance is something that is expected by every employee, including non-managerial employees of the HCGA division of PT XYZ. The main objective of this study is to determine the achievement of employee work-life balance as reviewed from three aspects, namely time balance, involvement balance, and satisfaction balance. In addition, this study also identifies factors that support and inhibit the achievement of work-life balance in employees. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach, namely by describing and analyzing the problems that arise. Qualitative research is based on primary data and secondary data. Primary data in this study were obtained by conducting observations, interviews, and documentation, while secondary data were obtained through books, previous research, and articles related to the research. The results of the study indicate that not all employees are able to achieve optimal work-life balance. Some employees, especially those from the recruitment and general affairs departments, feel that they have a good work-life balance thanks to work flexibility and the ability to manage time. However, employees from the people development and administration departments of HCGA actually experience difficulties due to excessive workload, additional tasks outside of their job descriptions, and lack of team management from superiors. The support of coworkers who help each other and create a supportive work environment is one of the main supporting factors in achieving work-life balance. On the other hand, work pressure outside of working hours and ineffective communication are obstacles that are often faced. This study only uses one variable so that it cannot fully describe the relationship with other aspects such as work stress or job satisfaction. Therefore, further research is recommended to explore more variables in order to provide a more comprehensive understanding of work-life balance in the work environment.  

Coffee has become a promising leading commodity in the North Sumatra region. However, in the practice of coffee cultivation at the location, issues were found where most farming practices did not comply with Good Agriculture Practice (GAP). One way to support the achievement of SDG Goal 8: decent work and economic growth can be through community service. The Edu Farmers International Foundation, through its "Farming for the Nation" program, conducted mentoring activities for coffee farmers in the form of field schools. The aim of this activity was to assist coffee farmers in Hutagurgur Village in adhering to proper GAP practices to achieve the maximum quality and quantity of coffee. The method involved observing problems and potentials, formulating solutions, planning field schools, determining topics and schedules for the field schools, and conducting the field schools. The results showed that farmers experienced an increase in knowledge and implementation by 25-400%. However, the impact on productivity has not yet been observed, as the assessment was not conducted during the main harvest season.

Since welding workshops are an unofficial industry, there is still a lack of effective implementation of occupational safety and health regulations in this field. Welders often experience eye hazards such as sparks, foreign objects, infrared and UV radiation. The purpose of this study is to describe how well welding workshop workers in Medan Tembung District comply with the use of personal protective equipment (PPE). This study uses a quantitative descriptive method. The results of data analysis for the Alpha Cronbach questionnaire trial in this study showed that the data met the requirements with a score of 0.928. Up to 55 welding workshop employees from all welding workshops in Medan Tembung District, Medan City participated in the total sampling of this study. After the descriptive analysis, the data is displayed as a frequency distribution.  According to the results of the study, of the 55 welding workshop employees who participated in the survey, 50.9% had a low level of knowledge. The majority of respondents (80%) have a negative attitude towards the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and more than half (58.2%) do not use PPE in the workplace. The results of the data analysis show that the majority of employees ignore the need to wear personal protective equipment (PPE) in the workplace because they do not know it or have a negative attitude towards it. Thus, this study suggests that welding businesses need to provide complete personal protective equipment, and also educate on the importance of using PPE and the Government also needs to increase supervision for small and medium enterprises, especially in welding workshops related to occupational health and safety.

This study aims to analyze the levels of work stress experienced by volunteers at the Persadabumi Buddhist organization in Medan, Indonesia. Volunteer work in religious organizations, while spiritually rewarding, can also be a source of psychological stress due to various organizational and individual factors. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, this research distributed a validated questionnaire to 36 active volunteers at Persadabumi Medan. The instrument consisted of 18 items measuring various dimensions of work stress including workload, time pressure, role conflict, work climate, and supervisory quality. Data analysis employed frequency distribution and stress level categorization. The results showed that 52.8% of respondents experienced low levels of work stress, 47.2% experienced moderate levels, and none experienced high levels of stress. Key stress-inducing factors identified included heavy and demanding workloads, time pressures in completing tasks, inadequate supervisory support, interpersonal conflicts, and unfavorable organizational climate. The study interprets these findings through a Buddhist psychological framework, explaining stress as a manifestation of dukkha arising from tanhā (craving) and avijjā (ignorance). Buddhist teachings on mindfulness practice (sati), the middle way (majjhima paṭipadā), right effort (sammā-vāyāma), and the importance of spiritual companionship (kalyāṇa-mitta) provide practical frameworks for stress management in volunteer contexts. The practical implications emphasize the importance of organizations providing emotionally and spiritually supportive environments, implementing balanced workload distribution, establishing realistic schedules, facilitating meditation and mindfulness practices, and strengthening social support networks among volunteers. This research contributes to understanding the intersection of organizational psychology and Buddhist philosophy in managing volunteer well-being.

Soil has a very important role in construction, namely in buildings, roads, bridges, dams and other buildings, so soil with adequate technical properties is needed. Work will encounter difficulties if you encounter soil that has large shrinkage characteristics, this causes damage to the building standing on it. To improve the properties of peat soil in the field of civil engineering, soil stabilization is carried out. Soil stabilization is in principle to improve the quality of soil that is not good, or improve the quality of soil that is actually already classified as good. The characteristics of peat soil include: high organic content, easy degradation when exposed to water, and if the soil experiences dryness the soil shrinks. The liquid limit of the original soil was 63.505% and when the lime mixture was added it became 61.46% in a mixture of 5% lime, 53.47% in a mixture of 10% lime, 49.30% in a mixture of 15% lime, and 28.55% in a mixture of lime 20%. The plastic limit of the original soil was 24.03% and when the Gypsum lime mixture was added it became 29.16% in a mixture of 5% lime, 31.11% in a mixture of 10% lime, 34.15% in a mixture of 15% lime, and 36.14% in a 20% lime mixture. As the Plastic Limit value increases and the Liquid Limit value decreases in the soil, the plasticity index of the soil decreases and the cohesive properties of the soil decrease.
