Abstract

This research aims to examine the effect of absenteeism, workload, and job satisfaction on cost reduction in the context of a non-profit organization as mentioned above. The research method uses causal descriptive (related to the statement of each variable in the study) and causal associative research methods (aims to determine the effect of WLB on cost reduction). Data analyzed were units of data originating from individual IFRC staff, collected through questionnaire research instruments using a Likert scale. From the analysis result showed that job satisfaction is significantly associated with cost reduction in the organization, while absenteeism and workload do not have any significant relationship with cost reduction. Thus the implication is IFRC needs to improve work life balance program to reduce cost in the organization through increasing employees’ job satisfaction.
