Abstract

The psychological well-being of employees is a crucial aspect in the modern demanding work environment. Work-life balance and perceived organizational support are the main factors that influence well-being. This study aims to analyze the effect of work-life balance and perceived organizational support on employee psychological well-being. An associative approach is used in this research with quantitative methods. The research population is employees at one of the shoe companies in Sidoarjo with a total of 5,000 workers. The sample was determined using purposive sampling technique. Data collection was done through questionnaires, and analysis using multiple linear regression. The results showed that work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on employee psychological well-being. Employees who are able to balance work and personal life tend to have lower stress levels and higher life satisfaction. Perceived organizational support is also shown to have a positive influence on psychological well-being. Employees who feel supported by the organization show higher levels of job attachment and satisfaction, and are more motivated at work. Organizations are advised to implement policies that support work-life balance and enhance a culture of support for employees to create a healthier, more productive and sustainable work environment.
