Abstract
This study aims to analyze the effect of Job Satisfaction and Work-Life Balance on the Innovative Work Behavior of employees at the Palm Oil Processing Plant of PT Pilar Wanapersada in Lamandau Regency, Central Kalimantan. This study employed a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The population and sample consisted of 92 non-managerial employees selected using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression, the correlation coefficient, the coefficient of determination, the F-test, and the t-test. The results show that Job Satisfaction and Work-Life Balance simultaneously have a significant effect on Innovative Work Behavior, with an F-value of 25.004. Partially, both variables have a positive and significant effect, while Work-Life Balance shows the stronger relative contribution with a standardized Beta of 0.544. The model explains 36.0% of the variation in Innovative Work Behavior. These findings indicate that maintaining Work-Life Balance is particularly important for sustaining employees’ capacity to develop and implement new ideas. Managerially, palm oil processing plant management should pay greater attention to workload allocation, working-time arrangements, adequate rest periods, and overtime management while maintaining positive work experiences to support employees’ innovative behavior.
