Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of work life balance and leadership style on employee performance, with organizational commitment as a mediating variable, at PT Media Group Asia Denpasar. A quantitative approach with a causal research design was applied. The population consisted of all 29 permanent employees of PT Media Group Asia Denpasar, so a saturated sample (census) was used. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using path analysis with the assistance of SPSS. The results show that work life balance and leadership style each have a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment, and also have a positive and significant direct effect on employee performance. Organizational commitment likewise has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. However, organizational commitment is not proven to mediate the effect of either work life balance or leadership style on employee performance, as confirmed through the Sobel test. These findings suggest that improving work life balance and implementing effective leadership are key factors that can directly enhance employee performance at PT Media Group Asia Denpasar.
