Work-Life Balance Among Administrators in a Malaysian Public University
Abstract
This study is conducted to examine the relationship between job stress, supervisor support, and work attitudes toward work-life balance during COVID-19 among employees in an administration office at a Public University in Selangor. The independent variables of this study consist of job stress, supervisor support, and work attitude, whereas the dependent variable in this study is work-life balance. The quantitative research method is selected, and a questionnaire is used as the research instrument to collect data. There are 110 samples selected from the Administration office (N=110). The data collected is analysed by using Statistical Packages for Social Science Version 26.0 (SPSS Version 26.0) software. Data was then analysed both descriptively and inferentially. The results revealed that all variables have a significant positive relationship between supervisor support and work attitude with work-life balance and a significant negative relationship between job stress and work-life balance. The study emphasised the need for organisations to review the relevance of work-life balance programs, policies, and activities that support and encourage employees to reduce stress in the workplace. Supervisor support also has the impact of creating a positive work attitude among employees. This study gives insight to the organisation in designing an appropriate system to enhance work-life balance.
