Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of work-life balance (WLB) on the productivity of working mothers who have children with special needs in Kupang City, Indonesia. Methodology: Using an explanatory quantitative approach with PLS-SEM analysis. Data were collected from a random sample of working mothers in the area and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0 software. Results: WLB significantly contributes to increased work productivity, with a path coefficient (?) of 0.728 and an R² value of 0.530, indicating that more than half of the productivity variation can be explained by WLB. The main supporting factors for WLB include family support, flexible organizational policies, and effective stress management. Conclusions: The study confirms that productivity success heavily depends on a holistically managed work-life balance through adaptive policies and social support. The additional pressure from the responsibility of having children with special needs requires a support system to prevent productivity decline, highlighting the importance of managing role conflicts and emotional exhaustion. Limitations: This study is limited by its cross-sectional design, localized sample in Kupang City, and reliance on self-reported data. It does not explore qualitative aspects or moderating factors such as job type, support systems, or the severity of the child’s condition, which may influence the results. Contribution: Enriches the human resource management and industrial psychology literature with empirical contextual insights from Indonesia and offers practical recommendations for organizations and policymakers to support working mothers with children who have special needs.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to determine the role of effective governance as a mediating variable in the relationship between intellectual capital and social capital to improve community welfare in border villages, especially in Belu Regency, Indonesia. Methodology: This study uses a quantitative approach and Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis method. Data from 155 families in border areas was collected with a survey from 28 border villages in Belu Regency that have distinctive socio-cultural characteristics. Results: Effective governance has been proven to mediate the relationship between intellectual capital and community welfare. Meanwhile, in the relationship between social capital and welfare, partial mediation was found. The distribution of well-managed village funds improves welfare, even with limited intellectual capital. Conclusions: Good governance encourages the compliance of village fund managers with the rules. Strong social capital and local customs-based also strengthen the impact of fund management on welfare. Limitations: The findings are contextual in certain villages in Belu, so they cannot be generalized. This research emphasizes the importance of strengthening governance and integrating traditional values in village resource management. Contribution: This research contributes to the literature by integrating intellectual capital, social capital, and governance into a single framework, highlighting how governance mediates development outcomes in marginalized border communities.
