ABSTRACT
The phenomenon of working from home amid the COVID-19 pandemic has caused disturbance to the way people separate work and non-work lifestyles. Work from home (WFH) has removed boundaries between work and personal life. Adopting a descriptive quantitative approach, this study investigates the work-life balance of Indonesians during the WFH period. A survey online was conducted using probability simple random sampling, resulting in 684 valid responses collected, processed, and analyzed. Findings show an adequate work-life balance, yet less pleasing dimensions of time balance, involvement balance, and satisfaction balance; particularly on the side of work rather than life responsibility. Elements of compensation, autonomy, productivity, and friends’ supports are categorized as unsatisfactory. It is concluded that work being conducted from home is not fully satisfactory to most Indonesians. It is recommended that a working support system and infrastructure are being anticipated and provided so WFH can be conducted sufficiently.
