The Influence of Work-Life Balance on Job Satisfaction Among Millennial Employees: The Moderating Role of Work Motivation At PT. PLN (Persero) Lampung Distribution Main Unit

This study aims to examine the influence of Work-Life Balance on job satisfaction among millennial employees at PT PLN (Persero) Unit Induk Distribusi Lampung, and to evaluate the moderating role of work motivation in this relationship. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method, with data collected from 226 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The analysis was conducted using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The findings reveal that Work-Life Balance has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. However, work motivation was found to weaken the relationship between Work-Life Balance and job satisfaction. This indicates that higher levels of motivation do not necessarily strengthen the impact of Work-Life Balance on job satisfaction, particularly in high-pressure organizational contexts such as state-owned enterprises. The results suggest that companies should carefully design motivational strategies that are balanced and responsive to employees’ needs for work-life integration, especially among the millennial workforce, to enhance overall job satisfaction.
