ACHIEVING WORK-LIFE INTEGRATION THROUGH ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING PROGRAMS

Abstract

This study examines the influence of Organizational Culture and Employee Well-being Programs on Work-Life Integration among working students at Pamulang University. Work-life balance remains a growing concern, particularly for working students who simultaneously manage professional and academic responsibilities; however, limited studies have explored both factors concurrently in the Indonesian higher education context. Drawing on organizational behavior and human resource management literature, organizational culture and structured well-being programs are theorized as key determinants of employees' capacity to integrate work and personal life. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method with simple random sampling involving 100 working student respondents at Pamulang University. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to assess the relationships among the study variables. The findings reveal that Organizational Culture has a significant positive effect on Work-Life Integration, indicating that a values-driven, flexible, and supportive culture meaningfully enhances working students' ability to balance their roles. Similarly, Employee Well-being Programs demonstrate a significant positive influence on Work-Life Integration, suggesting that structured initiatives such as mental health support, flexible working arrangements, and wellness programs enhance integration capacity. These results underscore the importance of designing organizational strategies that address both cultural dimensions and employee well-being to foster sustainable Work-Life Integration. Organizations and human resource practitioners should prioritize cultivating supportive cultures and evidence-based well-being programs as strategic investments in workforce integration and productivity.
