Abstract
This study was conducted to find the role of work-life balance as a mediator between psychological climate and organizational commitment of lecturers in higher education institutions. The instruments used in the study were: (1) Organizational Commitment Scale (Meyer & Allen, 1997) developed by Seniati and Yulianto (2010); (2) Psychological Climate Scale (Kahn, 1990) developed by Brown and Leigh (1996); and (3) Work-life Balance Scale (Fisher, Bulger & Smith, 2009). The research was conducted on 328 lecturers from 11 higher education institutions in Jakarta, Tangerang, Padang, Denpasar, dan Jimbaran. The analysis method for this study was simple mediation test with Hayes’ (2008) PROCESS macro. The results showed significant positive effects of psychological climate on work-life-balance (β = 0.31; p < 0.05), work-life balance on organizational commitment (β = 0.21; p < 0.05), psychological climate on organizational commitment (β = 0.63; p < 0.05), and work-life balance as a partial mediator in the relationship between psychological climate and organizational commitment of lecturers in higher education institutions (β = 0.07; p < 0.05). An implication of this study is that higher education institutions can enhance the level of work-life balance and organizational commitment by creating positive psychological climate.
