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

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.
