Work Interference

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.

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.

Background and Purpose: This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Work/Life Balance Self-Assessment scale among nurse faculty involved in doctoral education. Methods: A national random sample of 554 respondents completed the Work/Life Balance Self-Assessment scale, which addresses 3 factors: work interference with personal life (WIPL), personal life interference with work (PLIW), and work/personal life enhancement (WPLE). Results: A principal components analysis with varimax rotation revealed 3 internally consistent aspects of work–life balance, explaining 40.5% of the variance. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for reliability of the scale were .88 for the total scale and for the subscales, .93 (WIPL), .85 (PLIW), and .69 (WPLE). Conclusion: The Work/Life Balance Self-Assessment scale appears to be a reliable and valid instrument to examine work–life balance among nurse faculty.

Research on the reliability and validity of the work life balance construct is important considering that in Indonesia there is currently no instrument specifically used to measure or assess work life balance and because of the development of an understanding of the work life balance construct which always develops as a multidimensional construct. The subjects in this study were 460 employees of State-Owned Company in Bandung. The work life balance scale used in this study is an adaptation of the work life balance questionnaire developed by Gwenith G. Fisher, Carrie A. Bulger and Carlla S. Smith (in Journal of Occupational Health Psychology 2009, Vol. 14, No. 4, 441–456). In this study, the method of analysis is the confirmatory factor. The results showed that the items for the work life balance scale had SLF values ​​ranging from 0.75 to 0.912 so that all items could be said to be valid. CR value is 0.976 and VE is 0.707, which means a reliable work life balance scale. Work life balance scale is devided into two aspects, namely demands and resources. The demands aspect consists of 2 (two) sub aspects, namely work interference with personal life (PLIW) and personal life interference with work (PLIW) and. The second aspect, namely resources has 2 (two) sub aspects, namely work enhancement of personal life (WEPL) and personal life enhancement ofwork (PLEW).

Perceived Supervisor Support

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to investigate the role of employee engagement and work–life balance in perceived supervisor support and turnover intentions relationship.Design/methodology/approachThe perception of teachers on the constructs considered has been assessed by a survey using a structured questionnaire. Data were collected from the teachers of private schools of Punjab, India, and 375 were valid number of responses. Parallel multiple mediated regression was used to estimate the direct and indirect effects of perceived supervisor support on turnover intentions mediated through employee engagement and work–life balance.FindingsThe results reveal that the effect of perceived supervisor support on turnover intentions is indirect rather than direct. On the comparison of specific indirect effects, the results demonstrate that employee engagement and two dimensions of work–life balance (work interference with personal life and work–personal life enhancement) act as mediators in the perceived supervisor support and turnover intentions relationship.Practical implicationsSchool principals need to draft teacher-friendly policies for enhancing work–life balance and employee engagement so that teachers can feel satisfied with their work and can handle work and family demands. In this way, positive perceptions associated with high engagement and work–family balance can take place, which in turn can curtail the turnover intentions of teachers.Originality/valueThe use of employee engagement and work-life balance in the relationship of perceived supervisor support and turnover intentions is unprecedented. The study also considered three different dimensions of work–life balance and tested the model in an integrative manner. Since the study is based on an Indian sample, it also adds to growing literature on turnover intentions in nonwestern countries. The results are of great value to school managements, HR managers and policymakers who are seeking to develop practices that reduce employee turnover at workplaces.
