Review

The article titled "The Role of Human Resource Management in Improving Teacher Performance Through Work-Life Balance" addresses a highly pertinent and contemporary issue within educational administration and organizational psychology. It seeks to explore the multifaceted relationship between human resource management (HRM) practices, teachers' work-life balance (WLB), and their subsequent impact on performance. The stated research aims are commendably comprehensive, aiming to elucidate how WLB influences performance, the specific role of HR management in fostering WLB, relevant HR policies, and the challenges encountered in implementing such initiatives. This broad scope promises a holistic examination of a topic critical for teacher retention, well-being, and ultimately, the quality of education. Employing a qualitative literature study approach, the research synthesizes insights from national and international articles. This methodology is well-suited for a foundational exploration, enabling the identification of established patterns and relationships. The findings, as presented in the abstract, indicate a clear positive correlation between WLB and teacher performance, suggesting that a better balance translates to improved output. Furthermore, the study identifies the proactive role of HR management in supporting WLB through policy formulation and facility provision. Specific policy recommendations, such as flexible working hours, professional development, and open communication, are practical and actionable. The acknowledgment of challenges like frequently changing schedules, increased workloads, and time constraints adds a valuable layer of realism to the proposed solutions. While the abstract effectively outlines these key results, a more detailed description of the literature search methodology (e.g., databases, search terms, inclusion criteria, number of articles reviewed) would strengthen the perceived rigor of this review-based approach. Overall, this research offers a valuable synthesis of existing knowledge, providing a clear conceptual framework for understanding the interplay between HRM, WLB, and teacher performance. The identified policies and challenges offer practical guidance for educational institutions striving to enhance teacher well-being and effectiveness. While the reliance on a literature review means the study does not present new empirical data, it effectively consolidates existing evidence to support its claims. This work contributes significantly by mapping out the critical areas for intervention and consideration for HR professionals in education. Future research could build upon these findings by conducting empirical case studies within specific school contexts to validate the effectiveness of these policies and explore the nuanced challenges of their implementation in diverse organizational cultures.
