Abstract

This research explores the influence of work-life balance and work participation on innovative work behavior at PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk. Using a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis, this research involved 98 employees as research samples. The results of the normality test show that the data is usually distributed, while the linearity test indicates a linear relationship between work-life balance, work participation, and innovative work behavior. The regression analysis results show that work-life balance and work participation have a positive and significant effect on innovative work behavior, with an R² value of 0.291. This means that the two independent variables explain 29.1% of the variability in innovative work behavior. This study emphasizes the importance of work-life balance and work participation in driving innovation in the workplace. Companies can increase employees ' innovative capabilities by balancing work and personal life and employee engagement. These findings provide insight for the management of PT Astra Agro Lestari Tbk to develop policies that support work-life balance and active participation as strategies to increase innovative behavior and organizational competitiveness.
