Abstract

Work-life balance refers to a person's level of priority of personal and professional activities in their life, as well as the amount to which activities related to their job are present at home. It is arguable what is the best work-life balance. During the Covid-19 pandemic, stress is generated not only by workplace pressure, but also by life at home, where work must be done at home and cannot leave the house due to the Covid-19 pandemic. According to Vinberg and Danielsson's (2021) research, the Covid-19 pandemic had a negative impact on managers' welfare and work-life balance, despite the fact that they stated that it was difficult to access government support, but in the end they demonstrated creativity in finding new solutions for their companies. According to Tugsal (2020), since the Covid-19 outbreak, social support has had a statistically significant impact on moderating work-life balance features because workers felt supported and listened to by their colleagues and the company. After distributing surveys for two weeks in October 2021, 240 respondents participated in this study using a quantitative technique. According to the findings of this study, social support has an impact on work-life balance if one is satisfied with one's employment.
