The Effect of Work Motivation and Self-Directed Learning on Employee Performance With Work-Life Balance as an Intervening Variable (A Study On Employees Of PT. Propernas Griya Utama)

Abstract

The role of employees as the backbone of a company has evolved into an asset rather than a financial burden. This research focuses on PT Propernas Griya Utama, which experienced a decline in performance during the COVID-19 pandemic despite implementing a work-from-home (WFH) policy. The aim of this study is to investigate the influence of work motivation and self-directed learning on employee performance, with work-life balance as an intervening variable. Theoretically, this research is expected to contribute to the development of goal-setting theory. From a managerial perspective, the findings can assist PT Propernas Griya Utama in designing policies, providing motivation, and enhancing self-directed learning to improve work-life balance and employee performance. Socially, this research can serve as a reference for further investigations into factors influencing employee performance. The study utilizes an explanatory research approach with a focus on PT Propernas Griya Utama. Data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires, and structural analysis was performed using SEM-PLS. The results indicate that work motivation has the largest total effect on employee performance (0.488), followed by self-directed learning (0.436) and work-life balance (0.359). The findings confirm the positive and significant impact of work motivation and self-directed learning on employee performance. Work-life balance also plays a crucial role as a mediator, strengthening the influence of work motivation and self-directed learning on employee performance.
