INTRODUCTION
Worklife balance is a phenomenon in the social dynamics of working life, because the high demands on employee competence, standardization and workload from companies cause employees to be depressed, so that they are less optimal at work (Garengo et al., 2021).A healthy and conducive work environment fosters a balance between professional responsibilities and life personality, thereby increasing work loyalty and productivity (Soomro et al., 2018).Work-life balance is achieved through equalized workload and support from friends and the work environment (Talukder et al., 2018).
Work-life balance is an ever-changing cycle of life, allowing each individual to be able to complete work boundaries, just like a game of pazzle (Sabatier & Legendre, 2017).Work balance is an important issue in increasing responsibility and balance of work, social and family activities (Bhumika, 2020).Work imbalances negatively affect social and professional life, resulting in decreased health and productivity as well as low performance (Lakshmi & Prasanth, 2018).Every employee must have a balance between professional, family, and social life.
The presence of supervisors in work activities has an impact on work-life balance (Au & Ahmed, 2016) (Russo et al., 2016), but achieving work-life balance also requires workplace support and non-work resources that help employees (Greenhaus et al., 2012).Quality of work, work design, and work life are important to consider in achieving work balance (Agus & Selvaraj, 2020).This indicates that work-life balance is created with internal and external company support.
(Irfan et al., 2021) a study on work-life balance shows that workconflict arises due to poor time management, thus implicating personal and professional work commitments (Turner et al., 2019), work-lifr balance is also the basis for a career (Hatane et al., 2021).Companies that are committed to creating the most preferred work balance by employees and will get a good reputation.However, work and family conflict is a dual role of each individual, so work-life balance is important to ensure work effectiveness (Punia & Kamboj, 2013).Based on that, balance in work life relates to balance or the effort to harmonize some of the roles taken in life.

Worklife Balance
Work-life balance is the competence of an employee to balance work needs with individual and family needs.Work-life balance is defined as a person's competence in achieving work obligations as well as family life and responsibility for everything outside of work (Bhende et al., 2020).
Work-life balance is a concept that deals with career priorities and quality of life (happiness, opportunity, family life and spiritual fulfillment) (Singh & Sharma, 2021).Work-life balance is an effective form of management of a job and other equally important activities such as family life, community activity, volunteer activity, personal life development, travel and entertainment.Work-life balance is an individual's perception that work and family activities are compatible and promote growth according to individual life priorities.Work-life balance is largely based on work stress theory.Work and family have been noted as particularly strong sources of stress because the two demands require most of the time, energy, and attention of most adults.The ability to easily balance the demands of work and family results in reduced stress, greater satisfaction, and increased well-being.Conversely, the inability to balance personal and professional demands can result in greater stress, reduced satisfaction and reduced well-being (Young et al., 2022).
Individuals who place greater priority on family or personal life will experience increased stress as work requirements permeate those areas of life.Professional employees who value personal and family time will be more satisfied and committed to work that allows better balancing work and personal demands.For example, software development work often requires unexpected hours of work during project implementation and when software weaknesses are revealed.Such unexpected demands can impact the ability of individuals working in the job to meet family and personal demands, which can result in increased stress and job dissatisfaction for those who value more personal/family time.Therefore, individuals working in support work are less likely to have unexpected demands that affect the ability to meet family and personal demands leading to reduced stress and job satisfaction (Zhang & Gable, 2017).
Poor work-life balance is associated with increased work stress across multiple job domains.Greater work-family balance is associated with increased job satisfaction and organizational commitment.Many studies have found that poor work-life balance leads to lower levels of job satisfaction and higher levels of burnout (Kaliannan et al., 2016).Several studies report a positive relationship between academic work-life balance and job satisfaction (Agha et al., 2017).In principle, excessive workload positively affects work and family conflicts, thereby increasing work burnout, which contributes to a higher desire to move.. Family closeness, friendly relationships with co-workers are important factors in forming a balance in work life.There are different perceptions of job suitability for women and men.Social relationships have a much greater influence on the perception of the suitability of women than men.Women perceive work-life balance as a consistent and ongoing challenge whereas men perceive work-life balance in the past tense and largely in association with the challenges associated with raising children.These differences suggest that the importance of work-life balance on job satisfaction and perceptions of commitment differ for men and women (Venkatesh et al., 2017).
The concept of work-life balance is built on the idea that work life and personal life complement each other in bringing perfection to one's life.Success in achieving work-life balance can bring many benefits to employers because employees are more motivated, productive, and less stressed.This is because employees feel valued by their respective superiors.Work-life balance can also result in increased productivity and reduced rates of absenteeism and turnover.Organizations that embrace the concept of work-life balance are most preferred by employees and will gain a reputation as the employer of choice.On the other hand, work and family conflict is a concept that explains about the need of individuals to perform multiple roles, so work-life balance is considered important to ensure the effectiveness of the work of employees in all institutions where they work (Punia & Kamboj, 2013).
The concept of balance in work and family life includes a much more developed and broader interpretation of the ideologies associated with family life, thus relying on the belief that balancing, as they are two things that are equally important for work and family.Work-life balance is defined as the relationship between work and other aspects of an individual's life (Kelliher et al., 2019).Work-life balance achieves that there are values of the role of life in the discourse of work and family conflicts.Life role values as a value system that individuals hold, regarding work and family domains, which are based on individual priorities.Therefore, in contextualizing work-family life balance, it is necessary to explore more deeply on shared values, priorities and roles, with respect to how to inform work-family life balance (Akobo & Stewart, 2020).

Workload
Workload is a work situation with various job descriptions that must be completed within a predetermined period of time (Inegbedion et al., 2020).Workload refers to all activities involving an employee's time spent in performing duties, responsibilities, and professional interests in the workplace, either directly or indirectly.Workload is the amount of time each employee takes to manage official duties inside or outside of working hours.Therefore, the workload not only takes time in the company but also has to spend extra time after work to be more effective and productive in the profession (Johari et al., 2018).
Intensive employee workload includes development on increasing work productivity.This is due to the fact that employees are constantly burdened with new tasks added to the job description.This situation worsens job satisfaction and organizational commitment among employees, which ultimately affects the quality of work of employees.A long number of working hours due to extra workload may have a negative impact on job satisfaction as these circumstances interfere with one's well-being at work and at home (Pourteimour et al., 2021).Workload is a series or several jobs that must be completed by a group of employees or individuals at a predetermined time (Rahmi & Apri, 2019).Excessive workload can make employees stressed so that they experience pressure at work.This is due to the high level of competence needed, high work speed, workload that is too large and so on.
