<![CDATA[Maintaining employees’ Work-Life Balance (WLB) remains a major challenge for organizations operating under high operational demands. This study examines the effect of Individualized Consideration on Work-Life Balance through Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), with Work Overload as a moderating variable. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using a census survey involving 149 operational employees at PT PLN (Persero) UPT Cikupa, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal that Individualized Consideration has a positive and significant effect on Organizational Citizenship Behavior but does not have a significant direct effect on Work-Life Balance. Organizational Citizenship Behavior, in turn, has a positive and significant effect on Work-Life Balance and fully mediates the relationship between Individualized Consideration and Work-Life Balance. Meanwhile, Work Overload does not significantly moderate the relationship between Individualized Consideration and Work-Life Balance. These findings demonstrate that individualized leadership contributes to employees’ Work-Life Balance primarily through the development of Organizational Citizenship Behavior rather than through a direct mechanism, particularly in a high-demand operational environment. Practically, the study suggests that organizations should strengthen Organizational Citizenship Behavior by fostering collaboration, voluntary support, and constructive interpersonal behavior among employees, rather than relying solely on individualized leadership practices to improve Work-Life Balance.]]>
