Abstract

Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) have an integral role in Indonesian society's growth and development, especially in the economic sector. This study aims to determine the mediating role of work-life balance and affective commitment to human resource practices and its impact on the performance of MSEs. Similar to large organizations, small organizations also implement HR practices, although they are still very simple, affecting the organization's performance. So far, work-life balance and affective commitment have been widely studied in large organizations and are considered essential in improving organizational performance. However, the role of work-life balance in improving small businesses' performance has not been widely studied. This study was conducted with a total of 134 respondents from MSEs in Jabodetabek. The analysis was carried out using structural equation modeling. Some interesting findings were found, the work-life balance, which usually has a positive effect turns out to have a negative and significant effect on the performance of MSEs. The reason is presumably because MSEs owners must do constant monitoring to continue smooth operational activities and increase organizational performance; hence the time spent in the workplace was increased.

Bahasa Abstract

Usaha Mikro Kecil (UMK) memiliki peran penting dalam pertumbuhan dan perkembangan kualitas masyarakat di Indonesia, terutama dalam hal ekonomi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui peran mediasi work-life balance dan komitmen afektif terhadap praktik sumber daya manusia dan dampaknya kepada kinerja UMK. Tidak hanya organisasi besar, organisasi kecil pun memiliki praktik SDM, meskipun masih sangat sederhana, yang dapat berpengaruh terhadap kinerjanya. Selama ini work-life balance dan komitmen afektif banyak diteliti di organisasi besar dan dianggap memiliki peran penting dalam rangka peningkatan kinerja organisasi, namun bagaimana peran work-life balance dalam meningkatkan kinerja di usaha kecil belum banyak dikaji. Sebanyak 134 UMK yang berada di Jabodetabek menjadi responden dalam penelitian ini, dan analisis dilakukan dengan menggunakan structural equation modeling. Penelitian ini menghasilkan temuan yang menarik, work-life balance yang biasanya memiliki pengaruh positif ternyata berpengaruh negatif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja UMK. Hal ini diduga karena untuk terus memastikan kegiatan operasional berjalan lancar dan kinerja organisasi meningkat, maka pemilik UMK harus terus memantau organisasi, sehingga waktu yang dihabiskan di tempat kerja akan semakin banyak.
