Abstract

People, in general, would have a career preference to become an employee in a big and established company. This career preference is natural, considering many benefits obtained when a person becomes an employee. However, this does not apply to some individuals who choose freelancers. Even though the stigma of being a freelancer exists, it was not an obstacle for people who choose a freelancer in choosing this career. This study's purpose was to understand the reason and the meaning of the career choices of freelancers. This research employed a qualitative approach with the phenomenological method. The data were collected by interviewing six freelancers that have been full-time freelancers for at least two years in the information technology field. The result showed that freedom, flexibility, learning opportunity, financial security, family time, progressive career, and life fulfillment motivate individuals to become full-time freelancers. The essence of the motivational dynamics of a freelance career was to achieve life fulfillment.

Abstract

The pandemic of COVID-19 has influenced business in general. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, most companies or organizations have been implementing work from home (WFH). For working mothers who have children, this WFH policy creates a more stressful situation since they simultaneously have to deal with work and family in the same place. This study investigated the role of work-life balance and perceived organizational support in the level of burnout tendency among working mothers. Two hundred thirty-seven working mothers who work from home participated in this study. Questionnaires were distributed to the working mothers to measure work-life balance, perceived organizational support, and burnout tendency. Multiple linear regression was used to test the hypothesis. The results show work-life balance and perceived organizational support simultaneously predict burnout tendency. However, perceived organization support, especially a concern for employee welfare, contributes more to reducing burnout.  Therefore, human resource management may develop a policy to reduce burnout among women employees by concerning employee welfare in terms of compensation and benefit and creating a conducive working environment
