<![CDATA[This study explores the enabling and inhibiting factors that influence the successful achievement of work-life balance among female leaders in multi-sector companies in Indonesia. Despite the growing awareness of the importance of work-life balance, female leaders continue to face complex challenges in balancing professional leadership demands with personal and family responsibilities.Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected from twelve married female leaders with a minimum of twelve years of professional experience across various sectors. The data collection methods included closed-ended questionnaires, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. Thematic analysis was used to identify key patterns and findings. The results reveal that strong family support systems, flexible work arrangements, output-based performance evaluations, and technological facilitation are the main enablers of successful work-life balance. In contrast, patriarchal organizational cultures, high workloads, inconsistencies in the implementation of flexible policies, and internalized perfectionism serve as the main barriers.This study emphasizes that achieving effective work-life balance among female leaders requires not only formal organizational policies but also cultural transformation and the development of personal leadership resilience. The research contributes to the limited literature on female leadership and work-life balance in the context of multi-sector companies in Indonesia and offers practical recommendations for organizations aiming to foster inclusive and sustainable leadership environments]]>
