<![CDATA[General Background: The increasing number of individuals belonging to the sandwich generation has created complex challenges in balancing occupational responsibilities and family demands, which are closely associated with work productivity outcomes. Specific Background: Work-life balance and social support are considered important psychosocial factors that help individuals manage dual roles while adapting to workplace demands and maintaining performance quality. Knowledge Gap: Empirical evidence examining the simultaneous relationship between work-life balance, social support, and work productivity among the sandwich generation in regional Indonesian contexts remains limited. Aims: This study aimed to determine the relationship between work-life balance and social support with work productivity among sandwich generation individuals in Sidoarjo Regency. Results: Using a quantitative correlational design with purposive sampling, data were collected from 110 respondents through validated Work-Life Balance, Social Provision, and work productivity scales and analyzed using multiple correlation with SPSS 25.0. The findings indicated a significant positive relationship between work-life balance and work productivity (r = 0.518, sig < 0.000) and between social support and work productivity (r = 0.323, sig < 0.001), confirming the research hypotheses. Novelty: The study provides empirical confirmation of concurrent relationships between psychosocial resources and productivity adaptation within the sandwich generation population. Implications: These findings highlight the importance of maintaining balanced role management and accessible social support systems to support productive work behavior and serve as a reference for future studies addressing similar occupational and family dynamics. Highlights: Positive Statistical Associations Were Identified Between Role Management Conditions and Occupational Performance Indicators. Respondents Predominantly Demonstrated Moderate Levels Across Measured Psychosocial and Performance Variables. Hypotheses Testing Confirmed Significant Correlations Using Multiple Correlation Analysis Procedures. Keywords: Work-Life Balance, Social Support, Work Productivity, Sandwich Generation, Quantitative Correlational Study]]>
