Abstract

This study examines the role of Islamic values in supporting work–life balance among employees at PT Tjiwulan Putra Mandiri, addressing a gap in the existing literature that has largely discussed religiosity in general terms without explaining how specific Islamic practices function as coping resources in high-pressure industrial environments. This qualitative study involved eight informants selected through purposive sampling, all of whom actively integrate Islamic values into their daily work routines. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that Islamic values contribute to work–life balance through several interconnected themes. Islamic spiritual attitudes such as ṣabr (patience), shukr (gratitude), and tawakkul (trust in God) help employees regulate their emotions and respond more adaptively to work-related stress. Daily worship practices provide psychological stability and support emotional regulation within demanding work contexts. In addition, shared religious values and organizational tolerance toward worship activities foster a sense of social support and collegial solidarity, which further enhances employees’ overall well-being. Overall, the study concludes that Islamic values function as integrated spiritual, emotional, and social resources that assist employees in maintaining balance between work demands and personal well-being. These findings offer a contextualized understanding of how Islamic spirituality operates in industrial settings and contribute to the development of workplace well-being strategies that acknowledge and respect employees’ religious identities.
