Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of motivation and time management on the work-life balance of working students in Tana Toraja Regency. This research employed a quantitative approach involving all working students in Tana Toraja Regency as the population. The sampling technique used the Lemeshow formula, resulting in a sample of 96 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed using Google Forms. The collected data were analyzed using validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, the coefficient of determination (R²), and hypothesis testing using the t-test with the assistance of SPSS version 23. The results indicate that motivation does not have a partial effect on the work-life balance of working students in Tana Toraja Regency. This finding suggests that the level of motivation possessed by working students is not sufficient to significantly influence their ability to balance academic demands, work responsibilities, and personal life. In contrast, time management has a partial effect on work-life balance. This finding demonstrates that students’ ability to manage their time effectively is an important factor in maintaining balance between academic activities, employment, and personal life. Therefore, improving time management skills can serve as a relevant strategy for working students to achieve a better work-life balance and manage the competing demands of their academic and professional responsibilities more effectively.
