Abstract:
This research examines the leader-member exchange (LMX) role in mediating the contribution of work-life balance and work engagement on the employee organizational commitment of PT. Era Baru Mandiri. The population was all employees of PT. Era Baru Mandiri, which amounted to 120 people. Determination of the number of respondents was by the census. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to all respondents and analyzed using AMOS-SEM. The descriptive hypothesis testing proves that the work-life balance, work engagement, LMX, and discipline variables are good. In other words, all variables have been applied well at PT. Era Baru Mandiri. The direct effect hypothesis testing proves that work-life balance and work engagement contribute significantly to changes in LMX, work-life balance and LMX contribute significantly to changes in commitment, and work engagement does not contribute significantly to commitment. The indirect effect hypothesis testing proves that LMX partially mediates the contribution of work-life balance to changes in commitment, and LMX fully mediates the contribution of work engagement to changes in commitment. This finding explains the increase in organizational commitment of PT. Era Baru Mandiri is a function of increasing work-life balance, work engagement, and LMX.
