Abstract

The high divorce rate in Bandung has given rise to single parents who are required to meet economic needs, even though they often have to face difficulties in balancing work and childcare. The existence of a work-life balance can influence employee engagement among single parents in Bandung. Therefore, this research aims to determine the effect of work-life balance on employee engagement among single parents in Bandung. The number of respondents collected in this research was 154 single parents working in Bandung, selected using purposive sampling techniques. The measuring tool used in this research is data collection using a questionnaire in the form of a Likert scale for work-life balance and employee engagement. Data analysis used simple regression analysis. The results of this research used a simple linear regression test, which showed that there was a significant influence on work-life balance on employee engagement (R² = 0.279; significance 0.000). So the results of the hypothesis test show that work-life balance has a significant influence on employee engagement among single parents in Bandung.
