Purpose This paper aims to attempt to explore the nature of relationship between work–life balance and emotional exhaustion experienced by the employed individuals while working from home during the pandemic COVID-19 induced nationwide lockdown in the Indian setting. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected from 180 working professionals in North India who were working from home during the lockdown. PROCESS macro developed for SPSS was used to test the hypotheses. Findings Findings depicted that in comparison to men, women felt more emotional exhaustion due to personal life interference in work during work from home period. Surprisingly, the relationship between work interference with personal life, and emotional exhaustion did not differ by gender. It was found that the participative leadership could contribute to reduction of work interference with personal life, and through such an influence, emotional exhaustion experienced by an employee could be reduced to some extent. Originality/value Many previous studies have explored the nature of the relationship between work–life balance and emotional exhaustion, but rarely any study could cover any Pandemic affected working scenario. This study attempted to investigate such a relationship when employees were obligated to mandatorily work from home during the countrywide lockdown.

Selain bertugas sebagai pasukan yang menengahi konflik, pasukan penjaga perdamaian (peacekeeper) Indonesia yang disebut dengan Kontingen Garuda juga berperan sebagai individu yang juga berhadapan dengan kehidupan pribadinya. Kedua peran tersebut menuntut kinerja yang seimbang, karena ketidakseimbangan dapat menyebabkan salah satunya menjadi “korban”, dalam pengertian tidak optimal dalam menjalankan perannya. Keseimbangan antara pekerjaan dengan kehidupan pribadi atau work-life balance, diperlukan agar seseorang dapat menyeimbangkan antara pekerjaan dan aktivitas lain di luar pekerjaan. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran keseimbangan tersebut pada para prajurit penjaga perdamaian Indonesia yang ditinjau dari perspektif konseptual work-life balance. Penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan sumbangsih dalam keilmuan psikologi, khususnya yang berkaitan dengan work-life balance pada konteks kerja kemiliteran. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan teknik purposive sampling, melibatkan 2 orang anggota peacekeeper Indonesia yang berusia 30 tahun dan 33 tahun. Data diperoleh menggunakaan wawancara mendalam (in depth interview) dan semi terstruktur. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dari empat dimensi work-life balance, dua di antaranya menunjukkan tercapainya keseimbangan. Dimensi yang belum seimbang yaitu WIPL (Work Interference with Personal Life) dan WEPL (Work Enchancement of Personal Life). Dengan demikian, partisipan belum optimal dalam mengembangkan work-life balance pada dirinya dikarenakan jenis pekerjaan yang diemban menuntut kesiapsiagaan penuh karena berada di daerah konflik, sehingga sulit membagi peran yang proporsional dalam hal pekerjaan dan kehidupan pribadi.

This study seeks to understand the relationship between subjective well-being and job satisfaction among Peruvian millennials, in addition to determining the influence of components of subjective well-being, such as work-life balance, opportunity to demonstrate abilities, socialization, and possibility of learning. This study is based on the results of a questionnaire, which included questions to measure the different variables, applied to more than 300 workers in companies in Lima, Peru, from the commercial, industrial, and service sectors. The results indicate a close relationship between job satisfaction and subjective well-being. Because people are unique, organizations must be attentive to the needs of each worker's personal life and the effects of personal life on job satisfaction and must be willing to create balance and provide workers with time and space to resolve situations that arise in their lives.
