Abstract

Background. Work-life balance is something that is highly coveted by female academics. Conditions that allow employees to work optimally in the office and still be able to carry out their personal lives as social beings. The number of female lecturers in Tasikmalaya is increasing from year to year. For female academics, work-life balance is a costly luxury. Obligations as housewives and the need to express themselves outside as female academics need understanding from the campus to facilitate this need.

Methods. The research method used is a survey method, with data collection techniques using a questionnaire given to female academics in Tasikmalaya as respondents, amounting to 129 of 384 registered at PDDIKTI. Data analysis and hypothesis testing in this study used Multiple Regression Analysis.


Result. The research results indicate that emotional intelligence, burnout, work facilities, role conflicts, and commitment to the work-life balance of female academics in Tasikmalaya are influenced simultaneously and partially.
