Abstract

Earlier March last year, the entire world has been shocked by a deadly virus, Corona Virus (Covid-19) that has rapidly spread across the globe causing huge disruption to everyday life especially education sector where educators are stuck at home to teach students via online. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between job demands-resources and satisfaction with work-life balance of lecturers in private institution in Sarawak. Data were gathered from 60 lecturers from private institution in Sibu, Sarawak. Quantitative research is used in this research and data were collected using Google Form questionnaires with seven sections in total. Descriptive statistics were reported, followed by reliability analysis and also Pearson correlation. Analysis of the data received (N = 60) indicated a significant positive correlation between job demands (workload) and satisfaction with work-life balance (r= 0.938, p < 0.05), a significant positive correlation between job demands (emotional exhaustion and satisfaction with work-life balance (r = 0.971 , p < 0.05.), a significant positive correlation between job resources (collective culture) and satisfaction with work-life balance (r = 0.937, p < 0.05) and a significant positive correlation between job resources (value consonance) and satisfaction with work-life balance (r = 0.954, p < 0.05).
