Abstract

This study explores the interplay between work-life balance and organizational commitment through a gender perspective within the Indonesian banking sector. Employing Meyer and Allen's (1991) three-component model of organizational commitment—affective, continuance, and normative—this research highlights the critical role of work-life balance in fostering employee satisfaction and retention. Anchored in Sandra Bem's (1974) gender role theory, the study examines how societal gender norms influence work-life dynamics and organizational commitment. Utilizing a quantitative approach and a proportional random sampling method, data from millennial employees at PT. Bank X in Surabaya reveal a significant positive relationship between work-life balance and organizational commitment, moderated by gender. The findings underscore the necessity for inclusive organizational policies that address gender-specific challenges, enabling employees to balance work and personal life more effectively. This research contributes novel insights by positioning gender as a moderating factor, enriching the discourse on employee engagement and organizational commitment.
