Abstract

This study aims to find out how respondents respond to work-life balance. job insecurity and labor stress both partially and simultaneously, at one of the garment factories in Cimahi City. Using a quantitative approach, a sample of 66 people was selected from a total population of 193 workers using probability sampling techniques, then analyzed descriptively and associatively through SPSS version 25. The study's findings indicate that work-life balance has a negative effect on work stress, while job insecurity has a positive effect on work stress. Simultaneously, work-life balance and job insecurity affect workers' work stress. The conclusion of the research highlights that work-life balance and job insecurity, both individually and together, substantially contribute to increasing the work stress of female workers in the packing section at one of the Garment Factories in Cimahi City.
