Abstract

AbstractThis study examines the role of work-life balance in enhancing organizational commitment among Generation Z employees. Generation Z is characterized by strong preferences for flexibility, digital integration, and a balanced lifestyle, making work-life balance a critical factor in shaping their attitudes toward organizations. The objective of this research is to analyze how work-life balance influences organizational commitment, particularly in terms of affective, continuance, and normative commitment among Generation Z workers. This study adopts a qualitative-descriptive approach based on literature review by analyzing relevant academic journals, books, and empirical studies related to work-life balance and organizational commitment. The findings indicate that effective work-life balance practices, such as flexible working hours, remote work options, supportive leadership, and mental well-being programs, significantly contribute to increasing employee satisfaction and reducing work-related stress. These conditions ultimately strengthen employees’ emotional attachment and loyalty to the organization. The results further reveal that Generation Z employees are more likely to remain committed to organizations that acknowledge their personal needs and provide a healthy integration between work and life. Conversely, poor work-life balance tends to increase turnover intention and reduce engagement levels. Therefore, organizations that prioritize work-life balance are more successful in retaining young talent and building long-term commitment. In conclusion, work-life balance is a key determinant of organizational commitment among Generation Z. Organizations are encouraged to adopt adaptive and employee-centered policies to enhance commitment and sustain workforce stability in the evolving labor market.
