Abstract

At Indragiri Islamic University, we have the Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) Management Study Program, and we want to know how much of an impact work-life balance and intrinsic motivation have on our students' desire to learn. Using a purposive selection approach, 113 respondents, specifically RPL students who had worked, were chosen from a pool of 157 current RPL students. The researchers in this study used SPSS's multiple linear regression analysis as part of their quantitative strategy for providing explanations. The findings demonstrated that learning excitement was positively and significantly impacted by both work-life balance and motivation. The Management Study Program at Indragiri Islamic University's RPL students showed a good and substantial influence of motivation on their learning passion, however work-life balance had no effect at all.
