Abstract

This study investigates the effect of Work-Life Balance (WLB) on Employee Performance at the Department of Agriculture, North Tapanuli Regency. A total of 240 employees participated in this quantitative study. Descriptive statistics revealed that both work-life balance (Mean = 4.62, SD = 0.52) and employee performance (Mean = 4.77, SD = 0.43) are perceived at high levels. Simple linear regression analysis showed a significant positive effect of work-life balance on employee performance (B = 1.169, Beta = 0.755, t = 9.389, p < 0.05), and the coefficient of determination (R² = 0.558, Adjusted R² = 0.687) indicated that WLB accounts for 55.8% of the variance in employee performance. The results suggest that employees who maintain a good balance between work and personal life exhibit higher levels of performance. The study highlights the importance of organizational policies and practices that promote work-life balance to enhance productivity and sustain institutional effectiveness in public sector organizations.
