Hubungan antara Sense of Belonging dengan Employee Engagement pada Pegawai Biro Sumber Daya Manusia Polda Sumatera Utara

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara sense of belonging dengan employee engagement pada pegawai Biro Sumber Daya Manusia Kepolisian Daerah Sumatera Utara. Sense of belonging dipahami sebagai rasa memiliki dan keterikatan individu terhadap organisasi, sedangkan employee engagement merujuk pada keterlibatan emosional, kognitif, dan perilaku pegawai dalam pekerjaannya. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan korelasional yang melibatkan seluruh pegawai Biro SDM Polda Sumut melalui teknik sampling tertentu. Instrumen yang digunakan adalah Sense of Belonging Instrument (SOBI) yang dikembangkan oleh Hagerty dan Patusky serta Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey. Analisis data dengan uji korelasi Product Moment Pearson menunjukkan adanya hubungan positif yang kuat dan signifikan antara sense of belonging dan employee engagement (r = 0,761; p < 0,001) dengan koefisien determinasi (R²) sebesar 0,579, yang berarti 57,9% variasi keterlibatan pegawai dijelaskan oleh tingkat rasa memiliki terhadap organisasi. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa semakin tinggi sense of belonging pegawai, semakin tinggi pula employee engagement dalam bekerja. This study aims to examine the relationship between sense of belonging and employee engagement among employees of the Human Resources Bureau of the North Sumatra Regional Police. Sense of belonging is defined as an individual’s feeling of ownership and attachment to the organization, whereas employee engagement refers to employees’ emotional, cognitive, and behavioral involvement in their work. This study employed a quantitative method with a correlational approach involving all employees of the HR Bureau of the North Sumatra Regional Police through a specified sampling technique. The instruments used were the Sense of Belonging Instrument (SOBI-P) developed by Hagerty and Patusky and the Gallup Q12 Employee Engagement Survey. Data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The results revealed a strong and significant positive relationship between sense of belonging and employee engagement (r = 0.761; p < 0.001), with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.579, indicating that 57.9% of the variance in employee engagement is explained by employees’ level of sense of belonging to the organization. These findings indicate that higher sense of belonging is associated with higher employee engagement at work.
