UNDERSTANDING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT AND WORK LIFE BALANCE: A PRELIMINARY ANALYSIS

Abstract

In this modern era, organizations need to create a Human Resource Management (HRM) system that aims to support the development of employee competencies in addition to enabling the implementation of the organization's strategy to be carried out effectively. Realizing this fact, it is emphasized that theoretically HRM has a strong influence on the aspect of Work Life Balance (WLB) of employees, especially in the public sector. In order to prove this claim, a study was conducted which contributed to the production of a paper. In the meantime, the paper produced based on the study discusses the theoretical relationship between Human Resource Management (HRM) and Work Life Balance (WLB) through information obtained through the application of a qualitative approach. The study leading to the production of this paper found that HRM and WLB have a significant correlation. Therefore, it is hoped that with this information, the authorities can formulate and implement various initiatives aimed at strengthening HRM to support the WLB aspect in any strategic organization.
