THE INFLUENCE OF WORK LIFE BALANCE AND WORK MOTIVATION ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE (CASE STUDY ON GEN Z)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how job motivation and work-life balance (WLB) affect employee performance. A questionnaire with 100 responders from a range of industrial sectors was used to gather data. A regression coefficient of 0.512 and a p-value of 0.000 indicated that WLB significantly affects employee performance. This implies that a good work-life balance can improve employee performance. With a regression coefficient of 0.368 and a p-value of 0.001, job motivation also significantly affects employee performance, suggesting that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation play a substantial role in performance. With an F-count value of 28.54 and a p-value of 0.000, the simultaneous test demonstrates that both independent variables taken together significantly impact employee performance. With a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.432, WLB and work motivation account for 43.2% of performance variability, with other factors influencing 56.8%. In order to increase employee productivity, this study offers employers useful implications for implementing work-life balance rules and work motivation initiatives.
