Analyzing the Impact of Personal Interventions on The Consequences of Work-Life Balance for Lecturers Pursuing Doctoral Degrees in Indonesia

This study addresses the multifaceted challenges faced by Indonesian higher education lecturers who balance teaching, research, community service, and doctoral studies. With increasing demands for higher qualifications, lecturers must navigate these responsibilities, impacting their work-life balance and well-being. This research investigates the impact of behavior-based and cognition-based interventions on the work-life balance of these lecturers, focusing on work-related, nonwork-related, and stress-related outcomes. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 116 lecturers via a questionnaire. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that behavior-based interventions significantly enhanced all outcomes, while cognition-based interventions improved work-related and nonwork-related outcomes but did not significantly impact stress-related outcomes. The findings highlight the need for flexible schedules, professional development programs, and mental health services to support lecturers, promoting a healthier work-life balance and enhancing job performance.
