Pengaruh Perceived Organizational Support Dan Kelompok Generasi Terhadap Employee Engagement

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh Perceived Organizational Support (POS) dan Kelompok Generasi terhadap Employee Engagement, dengan menggunakan metode intervensi Focus Group Discussion (FGD) pada variabel POS. Penelitian ini dilaksanakan pada badan migas di Aceh. Populasi berjumlah 126 orang sedangkan subjek penelitian berjumlah 7 orang. Metode penelitian menggunakan kuasi eksperimen dengan satu kelompok perlakukan dan pascaperlakukan. Hipotesa dirancang berdasarkan kerangka teori dan konsep penelitian. Berdasarkan hasil analisis data diketahui bahwa ada pengaruh POS yang signifikan terhadap employee engagement merujuk ke hasil uji wilconxon dengan nilai Koefisien Z : -2,371 dan p<0,05 atau nilai Asymp Sig 0,018 <0,05. Hal ini sesuai dengan teori yang sudah ada yang menyatakan bahwa POS berpengaruh terhadap employee engagement. Namun keterikatan pegawai lebih ke pekerjaan dibandingkan ke organisasi yang masih relatif rendah. Dinamika kelompok selama FGD berlangsung cukup terlihat, peserta saling mengeluarkan pendapat dan persepsi yang berbeda tentang POS sehingga dapat memberikan insight baru menuju ke perubahan pendapat dan persepsi tentang POS yang akan berpengaruh terhadap employee engagement. Sedangkan kelompok generasi tidak ditemukan pengaruhnya terhadap employee engagement berdasarkan uji statistic Chi-Square dengan hasil nilai Asymp Sig 0,292 > 0,05. Hal ini disebabkan karena keterbatasan dari jumlah subjek penelitian. Selama proses FGD berlangsung peserta memberikan masukan yang positif bagi peningkatan dukungan organisasi terhadap pegawai yang diyakini nantinya dapat memberi pengaruh terhadap peningkatan engagement di organisasi. This study aims to determine the effect of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) and Generational Groups on Employee Engagement, using the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) intervention method on the POS variable. This research was conducted at a government agency in Aceh. The population is 126 people, for research subjects or FGD participants there are 7 people. The research method used a quasi-experimental with one treatment and post-treatment group. The hypothesis is designed based on the theoretical framework and research concept. Based on the results of data analysis it is known that there is a significant influence of POS on employee engagement referring to the results of the Wilconxon test with a coefficient of Z: -2.371 and p <0.05 or an Asymp Sig value of 0.018 <0.05. This is consistent with the existing theory which states that POS has an effect on employee engagement. However, employee engagement is more to the job than to the organization which is still relatively low. The group dynamics during the FGD were quite visible, participants exchanged different opinions and perceptions about POS so that they could provide new insights leading to changes in opinions and perceptions about POS which would affect employee engagement. Meanwhile, the generation found no effect on employee engagement based on the Chi-Square statistical test with an Asymp Sig value of 0.292 > 0.05. This is due to the limited number of research subjects. During the FGD process the participants provided positive input for increasing organizational support for employees which they believed would later have an impact on increasing engagement in the organization.
