aspects of life. Generally, this is usually caused by high work demands.

affects the work environment and outside the environment. According to Sobur
(2003) states that personality itself is a characteristic possessed by an individual to
describe the individual's behavior.
 Family is another element that influences work-life balance. The presence or
absence of actions that affect the work environment and personal life. Such as
conflicts in the family can affect work-life balance.

commitment, the goals of the company or organization will be difficult to run or not
achieved. However, usually a company or organization pays less attention to commitment
to its employees, resulting in a decrease in employee performance. The commitment that
each employee has is very important because with a commitment, each employee can be
more responsible and optimal for their work compared to employees without
commitment.
