ANALYSIS OF TEAMWORK AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE IN ENHANCING MOTIVATION OF PART-TIME WORKING STUDENTS

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of teamwork and work-life balance on the motivation of part-time working students in Pamulang City. A quantitative research design using a survey method was employed, with data collected via an online questionnaire distributed to 100 part-time student respondents in September 2025. The sample was selected using purposive sampling, and the questionnaire measured three main constructs: teamwork, work-life balance, and motivation. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS 26 after testing for validity, reliability, and classical assumptions, including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and linearity. The results indicate that teamwork (t = 3.798, p < 0.05) and work-life balance (t = 4.993, p < 0.05) both have a positive and significant effect on student motivation individually. The ANOVA test showed that the regression model is significant overall (F = 129.412, p < 0.05), while the coefficient of determination (R² = 0.727) indicates that 72.7% of the variation in motivation is explained by teamwork and work-life balance. These findings suggest that fostering effective teamwork and supporting work-life balance can substantially enhance the motivation of part-time students, contributing to improved academic and work performance. Practical implications include designing institutional policies that promote collaborative environments and flexible scheduling to support student well-being and engagement.
