This study aims to analyze how working students of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Muhammadiyah Gresik create work-life balance in dealing with role conflict. Working students perform dual roles as students and employees, which may lead to time-based, strain-based, and behavior-based conflicts. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through open-ended questionnaires and interviews. The results indicate that role conflict arises due to schedule clashes, physical and mental fatigue, and differing role demands. To address these challenges, students apply time management strategies, priority setting, communication with academic and workplace authorities, and utilize social support. Although not yet optimal, these strategies help maintain a balance between academic and work responsibilities. This study is limited to working students of the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Muhammadiyah Gresik; therefore, the findings cannot be widely generalized. The results are expected to be useful for students and universities in supporting the management of dual roles.
