The Influence of Work-Life Balance, Job Stress, and Employee Performance on PT. Borneo Celebes Abadi
Abstract
Purpose: This study aims to examine the influence of work-life balance and job stress on employee performance at PT. Borneo Celebes Abadi.
Research Design and Methodology: A quantitative research approach with a survey method was employed. The population consisted of 83 employees, all of whom were included as the sample using a total sampling technique. Data were collected via a questionnaire based on indicators of work-life balance, job stress, and employee performance using a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS) version 25, employing multiple linear regression analysis, partial tests (t-test), simultaneous tests (F-test), and the coefficient of determination (R²).
Findings and Discussion: The results indicate that work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, suggesting that better balance between work and personal life is associated with higher performance. Conversely, job stress has a negative effect on employee performance, indicating that higher stress levels reduce productivity. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence employee performance at PT. Borneo Celebes Abadi. These findings highlight the critical role of managing work-life balance and controlling stress to enhance employee outcomes.
Implications: The study suggests that organizations should implement flexible work policies, employee wellness programs, and effective stress management systems to create a productive and sustainable work environment.
