In Indonesia, the results showed that 85 percent of workers did not have perceive a work-life balance in their life (Fazrina, 2018)
For work-life balance perception, the average score of participants appeared to be lower than the expected score, which suggests that participants tended to have fewer perception on their balance proportion between work and life
Summary
In the millennial and highly competitive era, technology is invented to assist individuals in various forms of work. Technology continues to be used to simplify work and to help companies in achieving their production targets. Maximizing the optimal function of technology and employees’ potential can be an effective way to deal with unstable economic conditions and to overcome the problems of increasing production costs. Employees in a company have an essential role in company goals achievement. Rapid growth in various sectors create a wider gap in individual’s standards of living. In responding to this growth, those who are more literate in using technology would have a better value than those with less technology exposure (Gallup, 2017)
