Work-life balance disruption would not only harm the employees, yet the company will also suffer from the impact. Two of the policies that companies can apply to prevent the disruption is job autonomy and supervisor work-life balance support. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to see the impact of job autonomy and supervisor work-life balance support impact on work-life balance, organizational pride and job satisfaction.
