Abstract

Workers are vulnerable to work-related stress due to job demands, time constraints, and limited leisure time, leading to psychological issues such as anxiety related to their work. In the context of social welfare studies, job stress affects overall workers’ well-being and disrupts their social functioning in the workplace. Social support from coworkers is potentially reduce stress in workplace, which is crucial for creating organizational well-being. It also helps workers improve job engagement, cope with fatigue, and manage stress. This study examined the relationship between social support from coworkers and job stress among 90 employees at PT X. It used a quantitative method with accidental sampling for data collection. The analyses present univariate and bivariate analysis using Kendall's tau-b correlation test. It found that 73.3% of 66 respondents experience moderate job stress, and 72.2% consisting of 65 receive moderate social support from coworkers. The correlation coefficient between coworker support and work stress was -0.260. It concluded that the strength of the relationship is weak but has a negative relationship, meaning that higher coworker support is associated with lower work stress.

Bahasa Abstract

Pekerja rentan terhadap kondisi stres kerja akibat tuntutan tugas, tuntutan waktu, dan keterbatasan waktu luang yang mengakibatkan gangguan psikologis berupa kecemasan terhadap hal-hal yang berkaitan dengan pekerjaan. Dalam konteks ilmu kesejahteraan sosial, stres kerja berdampak pada kondisi kesejahteraan sehingga mengganggu keberfungsian sosial pekerja khususnya di tempat kerja. Dukungan sosial rekan kerja merupakan salah satu faktor yang dapat mengurangi stres kerja. Dukungan sosial rekan kerja menciptakan kesejahteraan dalam organisasi sehingga pekerja dapat meningkatkan keterikatan kerja, mengatasi kelelahan, dan stres yang dialami pekerja. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan hubungan antara dukungan sosial rekan kerja dengan stres kerja pada 90 pekerja di PT X. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan menggunakan accidental sampling dalam proses pengumpulan data. Analisis data mencakup analisis univariat dan bivariat dengan uji korelasi kendall’s tau b. Hasil analisis menunjukkan 73,3% yang terdiri dari 66 responden mengalami stres kerja tingkat sedang, dan 72,2% yang terdiri dari 65 responden menerima dukungan sosial rekan kerja tingkat sedang, dan hubungan dukungan sosial rekan kerja dengan stres kerja memiliki nilai koefisien korelasi sebesar -0,260. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kekuatan hubungan yang dihasilkan lemah, tetapi hubungan antara keduanya negatif yang berarti semakin tinggi dukungan sosial rekan kerja, maka semakin rendah stres kerja.
