The performance of batik artisans tends to be assessed by timeliness, quality of batik results, creativity in design, thoroughness, and consistency of production. Not only limited to technical skills, the performance of non-technical skills tends to be another supporting factor. Therefore, in this study researchers will measure aspects in the performance of craftsmen who are influenced by non-technical factors such as working remotely, job insecurity, work-life balance, and emotional intelligence on employee performance when facing job pressures or market demands. The research was conducted using descriptive qualitative method, using interviews and direct observation in the Laweyan Batik Village area in Surakarta by determining respondents using purposive sampling method and then analyzed using interactive analysis method. It was then concluded that the online work system provides flexibility for employees in managing work time, but also creates challenges in the form of unfocusedness and job insecurity. Work-life balance requires the active involvement of individuals and organizations to achieve optimal results. In addition, emotional intelligence plays an important role in managing emotions and building healthy working relationships, thus positively impacting overall employee performance.
