Abstract

For married women, being part of the workforce gives them dual roles, namely the role as a worker and the domestic role. When these two roles are not balanced with each other, it will impact work-life balance. Work-life balance can be influenced by emotional intelligence factors. This study aims to determine the influence of emotional intelligence on work-life balance among women with dual roles in Medan City. This type of research uses a quantitative method with a total of 130 respondents. The data collection method in this study uses the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) as the emotional intelligence scale and the work-life balance scale. The hypotheses in this study are H1: there is a negative influence of emotional intelligence on the demands aspect of work-life balance; H2: there is a positive influence of emotional intelligence on the resources aspect of work-life balance. The results of the study indicate that emotional intelligence has a negative influence on the demands aspects (WIPL and PLIW) of the work-life balance variable. Meanwhile, the resources aspects (WEPL and PLEW) of the work-life balance variable are positively influenced by emotional intelligence.
