Contribution of Social Support to Work-life Balance on Working Women During Work From Home

Abstract

The switch to work from home during the covid-19 pandemic has affected people's work-life balance, even more so for working women. This study aims to determine the contribution of social support to work-life balance on working women during work from home. This research uses a quantitative method with a causality correlational design. Subjects in this study amounted to 171 respondents of working women. Measuring instruments used are the social support scale and a work-life balance scale. This study indicates a contribution of social support to work-life balance on working women during work from home; r 0,466 (p < 0,001). In addition, the R square value is 0,217. The relationship between social support and work-life balance has a positive direction. The higher social support working women get, their work-life balance will be increased. This study also shows that the work-life balance of working women who have two children is in the high category and the work-life balance of working women with an age group of more than 40 years is in the high category.
