Abstract
In order to survive with the economic crisis nowadays, people tend to do more than one job to earn income. It is more difficult for a person with a big family with low income to balance their work and life. This situation leads to the unhealthy lifestyle with no work life balance. Thus, this paper aims to investigate the relationship between emotional intelligence, social supports, work condition and technology advancement with work life balance. For the purpose of this study, sets of questionnaires were distributed among working adults by using non-probability sampling technique. 139 respondents were recorder and the hypotheses were tested by using Smart-PLS version 3. Based on the result, social supports and work condition were found to be significant with work life balance. However, emotional intelligence and technology advancement were found to be not significant with work life balance. It is suggested for future research to collect more respondents around the country in order to get more reliable results.
