The Influence of Work-Life Balance and Physical Work Environment on the Performance of State Civil Apparatus Teachers (ASN) of NSF Cimahi Junior High School

Abstract

Based on the results of the teacher performance evaluation in 2022 and 2023, there has been a decline in teacher performance, suboptimal physical work environment conditions, and extra workloads that often extend beyond working hours. This study aims to analyze the influence of work-life balance and physical work environment on the performance of Civil Servant Teachers (ASN) at SMP NSF Cimahi. The research uses a quantitative approach with a census method, employing a questionnaire as a data collection tool. The research population includes 36 ASN teachers for the independent variable and 1 principal for the dependent variable. The results of the descriptive analysis show that the work-life balance of ASN teachers falls within the balanced criteria, with the sub-variable of balance being the highest value. The physical work environment falls into the good category, with the sub-variable of workplace safety being the highest value. The overall performance of teachers falls within the good criteria, with the highest sub-variable being social competence. The results of multiple linear regression show that work-life balance and physical work environment simultaneously influence the performance of ASN teachers at SMP NSF Cimahi with a high or strong level of impact. This research proves that a good work-life balance and a conducive physical work environment significantly contribute to the improvement of teacher performance at SMP NSF Cimahi. This research provides important contributions in supporting the development of policies to improve work-life balance and physical work environments to enhance teacher performance, which ultimately contributes to the quality of education.
