Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between work social support and work-life balance in hotel industry. A total number of 87 respondents were selected from a medium-scale hotel located in Kuching, Sarawak. A correlational research design was used in this study with a quantitative method. The result generated by a Pearson Correlation test showed there are positive relationships between all the three independent variables and work-life balance; organizational support (r=+0.44), supervisor support (r=+0.41) and colleagues support (r=+0.45). The significant value (r) concluded the strength of these three relationships is moderate. Based on these findings, several contributions are further discusses.
