Abstract: The dual role conflict of a career woman occurs due to an imbalance between workload in the office and time with family. This study aimed to determine the effect of workload on work-family balance in career women. The total number of respondents in the study amounted to 200 career women who were married and had children. The measuring instruments used in this study are the workload and work-family balance scales. The result of this study reveals that workload and work-life balance have a negative relationship among career-oriented women. Researchers have found that women who have a high workload find it difficult to strike the right balance between work and family responsibilities. This can lead to an increased sense of stress, which ultimately affects their overall well-being. The implication of this study shows that the ability to manage workload in the office is needed so that the roles of an employee, wife, and housewife can be balanced. Companies should establish a system that offers convenience for women, ensuring that the workload is distributed proportionally. Additionally, companies should provide support through policies and counseling interventions that aid in maintaining a healthy work-life balance, leading to an increase in worker productivity.
