Hybrid work arrangements offer flexibility by allowing… wing employees to alternate between remote and office-based work, providing opportunities to balance professional and personal responsibilities. However, the blurred boundaries between work and personal life in a hybrid setting can create challenges, such as overworking, interruptions during personal time, and social isolation. Using a qualitative approach, this study explores the experiences, challenges, and factors influencing work-life balance in hybrid work environments. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions with employees from various sectors. The findings reveal that while hybrid work promotes flexibility and autonomy, it also increases the risk of stress and burnout due to a lack of clear boundaries and insufficient organizational support.

This research highlights the dual impact of hybrid work on work-life balance and emphasizes the need for clear organizational policies, leadership training, and technological support to ensure employee well-being. The findings provide actionable recommendations for organizations to optimize hybrid work practices.

Abstract: Dunia pendidikan saat ini, khususnya di abad ke-21 , membutuhkan cara belajar yang peka terhadap kemajuan ilmu pengetahuan , teknologi, dan berbagai kondisi dunia. Selain itu , cara belajar ini harus bisa mengembangkan kemampuan… emampuan berpikir kritis, kreatif , berkolaborasi , dan mudah menyesuaikan diri pada diri siswa . Di Indonesia, situasi ini semakin rumit karena kurikulum yang sering berganti dan pengaruh pandemi COVID-19 yang menciptakan ketidakmerataan dalam kesempatan belajar serta penurunan kualitas pengajaran. Untuk menjawab permasalahan tersebut , pemerintah memperkenalkan Kurikulum Merdeka yang menekankan pentingnya pemikiran mendalam , pembelajaran yang berpusat pada siswa, pembelajaran yang disesuaikan , serta pembentukan karakter berdasarkan nilai-nilai Pancasila. Penelitian ini didedikasikan untuk mengimplementasikan Kurikulum Merdeka pada jenjang sekolah dasar melalui wawasan literatur . Kajian ini akan membedah cara penerapannya , faktor -faktor penentu keberhasilan, serta kendala-kendala yang mungkin dihadapi dalam pelaksanaan pendidikan. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa Kurikulum Merdeka membawa dampak yang baik, termasuk kemajuan yang lebih pesat dalam pembelajaran , pemanfaatan cara yang lebih sesuai dengan keadaan , serta peningkatan keterlibatan dan semangat belajar siswa. Guru pun mendapatkan ruang lebih luas untuk berkreasi dalam merencanakan kegiatan belajar mengajar. Namun demikian, penerapan kurikulum ini masih terkendala oleh beberapa hal , seperti pemahaman guru yang belum menyeluruh , tantangan dalam melakukan asesmen awal dan pembelajaran yang beragam , serta keterbatasan sarana dan prasarana di beberapa sekolah. Keberhasilan Kurikulum Merdeka sangat bergantung pada kemampuan guru, dukungan dari pimpinan sekolah, dan ketersediaan sumber daya yang cukup . Maka dari itu, perlu adanya kerja sama yang baik antara pemerintah, pihak sekolah, dan para guru untuk meningkatkan kemampuan sumber daya manusia, memperkokoh dukungan fasilitas, serta menjamin adanya kebijakan yang berkesinambungan agar implementasi Kurikulum Merdeka bisa berjalan maksimal dan merata.
