Abstract :

In a dynamic and demanding academic environment, achieving optimal work-life balance is crucial for the well-being and performance of faculty members. This research investigates the determinants of work-life balance among lecturers and explores the mediating role of work engagement in influencing lecturer performance. The study employs a quantitative method with a systematic review. A questionnaire-based survey was designed to test the model based on a dataset from 98 private lecturers in Banten. The partial results indicate that Work-Life Balance (WLB) and Work Engagement (WE) have a positive and significant impact on Lecturer Performance (EP). The research also reveals that WE plays a crucial mediating role, influencing the relationship between work-life balance and lecturer performance. This study is one of the few that explores the interconnections among WLB, Lecturer Performance, and Work Engagement (WE) as a crucial mediating variable.
