ABSTRACT

Abstract

This study examines the influence of marital relationships on work engagement and interaction management in the context of the International Transnational Educational Association (ITEA). The study investigates how legally recognized marital dynamics affect employee work engagement. Work engagement is defined as a positive state of mind characterized by enthusiasm, dedication, and commitment to one’s work. The study is specifically based on the legal framework of employment in Indonesia. Historically, Indonesian law has prohibited partners from working in the same company. However, a recent constitutional ruling has challenged this restriction and allowed for a re-evaluation of workplace policies related to couple work. The study used a qualitative methodology and included in-depth interviews with four married participants working in different departments within the same workplace. The results demonstrate the importance of healthy relationships between men and women in increasing emotional support, reducing stress, and improving overall job satisfaction and performance. By aligning and encouraging human resource management practices within the context of the realities of personal relationships, companies can develop better engaged and productive employees. The study contributes to the understanding of work-life balance and highlights the importance of supportive workplace policies for improving employee well-being and organizational success.
