Abstract

The development of flexible working arrangements (FWA) has become one of the most significant changes in the modern workplace, particularly following the rise of digitalization and changes in work systems after the pandemic. Flexible work systems provide employees with greater flexibility in determining their working time and location, but they also create challenges in maintaining work life balance. This study aims to analyze the impact of work life balance on work engagement in the era of flexible working arrangements through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The study was conducted by collecting and analyzing various relevant scientific articles from national and international databases published between 2020 and 2025. The findings indicate that work life balance has a positive influence on work engagement. Employees who are able to maintain a balance between work and personal life tend to demonstrate higher levels of enthusiasm, dedication, and involvement in their work. In addition, the implementation of flexible working arrangements can improve work engagement when supported by a supportive organizational culture, supervisor support, and effective time management. Therefore, work life balance is considered an important factor in enhancing employee engagement and well-being in the era of flexible work systems.
