Work-Life Balance and Work Motivation on the Performance of Female Employees at A Rural Public Health Center in Jember

Tri Agustina, Hanif Hadinata Utama, Harmawan Teguh Saputra

Abstract


This study examines the effects of work motivation and work–life balance on the job performance of female employees at the Wuluhan Public Health Center. A quantitative design was employed, and 55 married female employees were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire measuring work motivation, work–life balance, and job performance, and were analyzed using multiple linear regression after the classical assumption tests were satisfied. The results show that work motivation and work–life balance each have a positive and significant effect on job performance, and that the two variables jointly have a significant effect. Work motivation exerts a stronger influence than work–life balance. These findings suggest that the health center should strengthen both work motivation and work–life balance to improve employee performance.
