Abstract

This study aims to find out and analyze the influence of work life balance on the performance of employees of the East Aceh Regency Plantation and Livestock Office. The study used a quantitative approach with data collection techniques through a Likert scale-based questionnaire on 34 employees. The results of the study show that work-life balance has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. This is evidenced by the tcal value of the > table, which is 2.366 > 1.693 at a significance of 0.025 < 0.05. Thus, the H0 research hypothesis was rejected and H1 was accepted, which means that there is a significant influence between work life balance and employee performance. These findings indicate that the better the work-life balance that employees feel, the better their performance will be.
