Abstract

When the COVID-19 pandemic occurred, various activities are required to be at home, this is what triggers parents to carry out their role to be more and more. This study aims to see the association between Parenting Stress and Work life Balance during the COVID-19 pandemic. Subjects involved in this study were 182 respondents parents aged 21-60 years, who work in JABODETABEK and have children who are currently School From Home. Data collection used the work life balance scale (Fisher, et al., 2009) and the Parental Stress Scale (Berry & Jones, 1995). The data analysis used Spearman's Rho correlation technique, which shows that there is a positive relationship between work life balance and Parenting Stress in parents during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This is expressed based on the value of r = 0.931 and p = 0.000 (p <0.05). The findings of this study indicate that an increase in parenting stress is directly proportional to an increase in work-life balance during the COVID-19 pandemic, and conversely, a decrease in parenting stress is associated with a decrease in work-life balance.
