Abstract

Abstract. Work-life balance (WLB) refers to an individual's ability to balance work demands with personal life. One factor that may contribute to achieving this balance is emotional intelligence (EI), which is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage one's own emotions while maintaining positive relationships with others. This article aims to review previous studies on the relationship between emotional intelligence and work-life balance, particularly in the context of captain pilots, whose profession involves high levels of responsibility and work demands. This study uses a narrative literature review method by examining books and previous research related to emotional intelligence, work-life balance, and the relationship between these two variables. The findings indicate that emotional intelligence helps individuals manage work-related stress, reduce conflicts between work and personal life, and achieve a better balance between both domains. Most previous studies have reported a positive relationship between emotional intelligence and work-life balance, although several studies have found different results due to factors such as job characteristics, workload, and organizational support. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that emotional intelligence is an important factor in supporting work-life balance, particularly in professions with high levels of responsibility and work pressure, such as captain pilots.

Abstrak. Work-life balance (WLB) merupakan kemampuan individu untuk menyeimbangkan tuntutan pekerjaan dan kehidupan pribadi. Salah satu faktor yang diduga berperan dalam mencapai keseimbangan tersebut adalah emotional intelligence (EI), yaitu kemampuan seseorang untuk mengenali, memahami, dan mengelola emosinya serta membangun hubungan yang baik dengan orang lain. Artikel ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji berbagai penelitian mengenai hubungan antara emotional intelligence dan work-life balance, khususnya pada profesi captain pilot yang memiliki tuntutan pekerjaan tinggi. Metode yang digunakan adalah narrative literature review dengan menelaah berbagai buku dan artikel ilmiah yang membahas emotional intelligence, work-life balance, serta hubungan kedua variabel tersebut. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa emotional intelligence dapat membantu individu mengelola tekanan kerja, mengurangi konflik antara pekerjaan dan kehidupan pribadi, serta meningkatkan keseimbangan antara keduanya. Sebagian besar penelitian terdahulu juga menunjukkan bahwa individu dengan emotional intelligence yang lebih tinggi cenderung memiliki work-life balance yang lebih baik. Namun, beberapa penelitian menemukan hasil yang berbeda karena dipengaruhi oleh karakteristik pekerjaan, beban kerja, dan dukungan dari organisasi. Berdasarkan hasil kajian tersebut, dapat disimpulkan bahwa emotional intelligence merupakan salah satu faktor yang penting dalam mendukung terciptanya work-life balance, terutama pada profesi dengan tingkat tanggung jawab dan tekanan kerja yang tinggi, seperti captain pilot.
