<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the influence of work-life balance and meaningful work on intention to stay, with career adaptability as a mediating variable. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method of 250 service sector employees in Indonesia. The data analysis technique used Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that work-life balance and meaningful work had a positive and significant effect on career adaptability and intention to stay. β = 0.25 (WLB → ITS) β = 0.30 (MW → ITS) β = 0.40 (WLB → CA) β = 0.35 (MW → CA) In addition, career adaptability also has a significant effect on intention to stay β = 0.28 CA → ITS and it is proven that career adaptability mediates work-life balance on intention to stay β indirect = 0.40 × 0.28 = 0.112 (WLB → CA → ITS) and meaningful work on intention to stay β indirect = 0.35 × 0.28 = 0.098 MW → CA → ITS The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.71) shows that the model has strong explanatory power, while the predictive relevance value (Q² > 0) indicates the model has good predictive ability. This finding confirms that work-life balance and job meaning are important factors in increasing employee retention by strengthening career adaptability.]]>
