The Relationship Between Time Famine and Work-Life Balance in Working Students

Abstract

Students who decide to work have academic and occupational responsibilities. In addition, sometimes their responsibilities increase due to personal interests, so students who work experience a shortage of time or famine. Apart from all their responsibilities, working students must balance personal life, work demands, and academic demands. This study aims to determine the correlation between time famine and Work- life balance in working students. In this study, the researcher proposed a hypothesis that there is a negative relationship between time famine and Work-life balance in working students. The subjects in this study are 179 working students. The data collection method in this study uses a Work-life balance scale and a famine time scale. The data analysis technique used in this study uses product moment analysis (Pearson correlation). The results of the analysis of the research data showed a correlation coefficient of (rxy)=0.63 and p=0.000 (p<0.050), which showed that there was a positive correlation between time famine and Work-life balance. This means the hypothesis in this study is rejected. Then, based on the results of data analysis, the determination coefficient (R2) is 0.426, which means that the contribution of the time famine variable to the Work-life balance is 42.6%, and other factors influence the remaining 57.4%.
