<![CDATA[Employee performance is an important determinant of organizational effectiveness, including in public research institutions. This study aims to analyze the effect of Work Life Balance and Job Satisfaction on employee performance at the Balai Besar Riset Sosial Ekonomi Kelautan dan Perikanan (BBRSEKP) in North Jakarta. The study used a quantitative associative approach. The population consisted of active employees of BBRSEKP and the sample comprised 48 respondents selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire containing 34 statements measured on a five-point Likert scale, consisting of 12 items for Work Life Balance, 12 items for Job Satisfaction, and 10 items for Employee Performance. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination with SPSS version 25. The results show that Work Life Balance does not have a significant partial effect on employee performance, with t = 1.904 and significance of 0.063. Job Satisfaction has a positive and significant partial effect, with t = 6.205 and significance of 0.000. Simultaneously, Work Life Balance and Job Satisfaction significantly affect employee performance, indicated by F = 35.827 and significance of 0.000. The coefficient of determination is 0.614, indicating that the two independent variables explain 61.4% of the variation in employee performance, while 38.6% is explained by other factors. The findings indicate that strengthening job satisfaction should receive greater managerial attention in efforts to improve employee performance.]]>
