Abstract

This study investigates the connection between quality of life and work-life balance for workers who are also part-time students. A thorough literature analysis shows that happiness and well-being are highly influenced by striking a healthy balance between work obligations, educational goals, and personal obligations. The goal of the research is to identify the factors, such as work-family enrichment and family-work conflict, that influence the quality of life of part-time employees. Research indicates that a healthy work-life balance can boost job satisfaction, academic achievement, and personal fulfillment. Conversely, a poorly balanced work-life schedule can result in stress, burnout, and strained relationships. This study highlights the significance of organizational support, flexible work schedules, and specialized training programs in enhancing results for part-time workers. It does this by utilizing quantitative and qualitative approaches to gain insights into these dynamics. There are suggestions given for companies and educational establishments to establish a work-life balance-friendly atmosphere, which will enhance the general standard of living for workers juggling their two jobs and their studies.
