Investigating the Dimensionality of Work Life Balance in Islamic Perspective (Wlbip): An Insight from Indonesia

Abstract

WLB should not only balance life in the world life but also need to think about the hereafter so that there will be a balance between the world life and the hereafter in terms of WLB. This study is carried out to all managers and employees of Baitul Maal Wa Tamwil or Islamic Financing Savings and Loan Cooperatives in DIY Province (Special Region of Yogyakarta). This study is conducted to 28 Baitul Maal Wa Tamwil with 200 target samples. The questionnaire returned to the researchers comes from 150 respondents. The results prove that WLBIP can be measured using 3 indicators: (1) time balance in Islamic perspective)/TBIP, (2) (involvement balance in Islamic perspective)/IBIP, and (3) satisfaction balance dalam perspektif Islam (Satisfaction balance in Islamic perspective)/SBIP. There is also an opportunity to study the antecedents and consequences of WLBIP so that in the future the WLBIP concept can be further developed and explored.
