Abstract

The purpose of this study was to analyze the relationship between balance of work and employment among working women. The study participants included 134 women from X and Y companies in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The hypothesis proposed was that the balance between work and life and satisfaction among respondents was positive and significant. The study used the Job Satisfaction Survey (Cronbarch's Alpha = 0.930), and the Work-Life Balance Scale (Cronbachs Alpha = 0.795) to measure the work-life balance. Analysis of the data using a rho correlation technique by Spearman showed that in working women there was a strong and positive relationship between work-life balance and employment satisfaction (r = 0.352, p <0.000). The result implied the higher the balance between work and life of the respondents, the higher the level of satisfaction at work and vice versa. In addition, the results also showed that the job-life balance variable affected 12.39 percent job satisfaction.
