Abstract
  • Work-life balance (WLB) is highly important for an academic professional in maintaining high job performance and social well-being. Currently, the challenges of balancing work and life are demanding. WLB conflicts have negative effects on others, be it the university organization or the family. Failing to manage work-life balance effectively can result in work absenteeism, low job quality, reduced creativity, stress, and family conflicts. Previous literature on WLB has provided limited emphasis on the principles of Islamic law (maqasid syariah) among academic professionals. While some WLB models have been developed, they tend to overlook the crucial religious and moral elements that are essential for social well-being. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the conceptual framework of a WLB model based on maqasid syariah towards the social well-being of public universities in Malaysia. This research is highly relevant to the management of Malaysian public universities as preliminary information in designing human resource development strategies to ensure the overall well-being of employees in the workplace based on maqasid syariah. Thus, this study can contribute to the enhancement of a holistic and sustainable work-life balance policy implementation by public university management to cultivate multi-dimensional and productive academic professionals in line with the fifth strategy, social balance, in the Vision of Prosperity Together 2030.
