Abstract

Abstract. The purpose of the study was to examine the impact of work from home on work–life balance through work engagement. The population of the study included staff from Badan Pendapatan Pengelolaan Keuangan dan Aset Daerah (BPKAD) of the Jalur Pantura (Blora, Rembang, and Pati). The number of samples was calculated based on the method of maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) proposed by Hair et al., and a total sample of 120 respondents was obtained using the proportional random sampling method. The data were collected through questionnaires. The data analysis method used partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) with the SmartPLS 3.0 test tool. Results show that home-based work has a negative and marginal impact on work–life balance and a positive and significant impact on work engagement. Further, work engagement has a positive and significant impact on work–life balance. Indirect results indicate that work engagement may mediate the effects of work from home on work–life balance.
