This study aims to assess the influence of work-life balance and organizational culture on work engagement, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable, among Bintara personnel in the Public Relations Division of the Central Java Regional Police. A quantitative correlational approach was used, with 39 Bintara respondents participating. The results show that organizational culture has a significant impact on work engagement, while work-life balance does not exhibit a substantial effect. Furthermore, job satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between work-life balance, organizational culture, and work engagement. The validity tests reveal that all variables have AVE values greater than 0.5 and Cronbach's Alpha scores above 0.7, indicating high validity and reliability. These findings highlight the important role of organizational culture in promoting work engagement among police officers and recommend improvements to work-life balance policies within police institutions.
