This study aims to determine and analyze the impact of the work environment on employee job satisfaction at the Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) of Jambi Province. The research is motivated by the importance of a supportive work environment in creating comfort, increasing motivation, and improving employee job satisfaction, since preliminary observations found several work-environment problems such as inadequate room cooling, disrupted toilet water supply, and unstable Wi-Fi network. This study used a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The population consisted of 75 employees, all of whom were used as the sample through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and simple linear regression using SPSS. The results show that the work environment has a significant impact on employee job satisfaction, evidenced by a significance value smaller than 0.05, with a coefficient of determination of 61.8 percent. This indicates that the better the work environment, both physical and non-physical, the higher the employee job satisfaction. This research is expected to serve as a consideration for the agency in improving the quality of the work environment to support employee job satisfaction and performance.

Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it was found that the position description variable had a positive and partially significant influence on employee job satisfaction, with a calculated t-value of 5.529 and a significance level of 0.0000. On the other hand, the workload variable was also found to show a positive and significant influence on employee job satisfaction partially, with a calculated t  value of 1.327 and a significance value of 0.188. When tested simultaneously, the two independent variables were proven to have a significant effect on the job satisfaction of contract employees, with  an F score of 27.772 and a significance value of 0.0000. As for the Adjusted R Square value,  a value of 0.384 was obtained. This figure means that the ability of the variable job description and workload in explaining the ups and downs of the job satisfaction of PT Multi Garmenjaya's monthly contract employees is 38.4%. Meanwhile, the other percentage, which is 61.6%, is influenced by other factors or variables that are not studied and studied in this research model.

Changes in work patterns driven by digital technology development and post-pandemic dynamics have encouraged organizations to implement Work From Home (WFH) as an alternative working system. This policy has attracted considerable attention because it affects employee productivity and well-being, which are essential for organizational performance. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the effectiveness of WFH. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of WFH on employee productivity and well-being. A qualitative approach was employee using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by reviewing 19 scientific articles related to productivity, job satisfaction, work-life balance, and mental health. The findings show that 89,5% of articles reported positive effects of WFH through greater flexibility, work comfort, time efficiency, and improved work-life balance, wich contribute to higher productivity and well-being. Meanwhile, 10,5% identified negative effects due to inadequate work facilities, internet disruptions, burnout, and coordination difficulties. These findings indicate that WFH effectiveness is influenced by technological support, job characteristics, and organizational culture. The study implies that organizations should adopt adaptive work policies, strengthen digital infrastructure, and provide mental health support to optimize employee productivity and well-being.

The phenomenon of university students simultaneously undertaking academic studies and employment has become increasingly common, creating unique challenges in balancing work responsibilities and academic obligations. This study aims to examine the effects of job demands and time management on academic performance, with academic self-efficacy serving as a mediating variable among undergraduate and postgraduate students who work while pursuing higher education. The research employed a quantitative approach using a causal research design. Data were collected through an online questionnaire administered to 50 working students selected through purposive sampling. The study measured four variables, namely job demands, time management, academic self-efficacy, and academic performance. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis, Baron and Kenny’s causal steps approach, and the Sobel test to examine mediation effects. The findings reveal that time management has a positive and significant effect on both academic self-efficacy and academic performance. Academic self-efficacy also demonstrates a positive and significant influence on academic performance and emerges as the strongest predictor in the model. In contrast, job demands do not significantly affect either academic self-efficacy or academic performance. Furthermore, academic self-efficacy does not mediate the relationship between job demands and academic performance. However, academic self-efficacy fully mediates the relationship between time management and academic performance, indicating that effective time management enhances students’ confidence in their academic abilities, which subsequently improves their academic outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening time management skills and academic self-efficacy to support the academic success of working students in higher education institutions.

 Toxic work environments are becoming an issue that is getting more and more attention in human resource management because of its destructive impact on the psychological well-being of employees and organizational stability. Unhealthy interpersonal relationships, authoritarian leadership, bullying, and recurrent disrespectful behavior create a work atmosphere full of stress and uncertainty. This condition not only triggers work stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion, it further exacerbates these challenges, as high work demands and a lack of work-life balance make employees, especially Generation Z, increasingly vulnerable to mental health disorders. This study aims to analyze the influence of toxic work environments on employees' mental health as well as its impact on the intention to quit their jobs. The method used is a literature study with a qualitative approach, analyzing relevant scientific articles. The results of the study showed that a toxic work environment characterized by violence, bullying, tyrannical leadership, unfriendliness, and exclusion had a significant effect on the increase in work stress, psychological pressure, work stress and intention to quit work. Toxic leadership is the main factor in forming an unhealthy work culture. Social support, especially from supervisors, plays a protective role as a protective factor that mediates these negative relationships. Generation Z was found to be more sensitive to injustice and rights violations in the workplace. The study concludes that organizations need to prioritize psychological safety, implement supportive leadership, and provide tangible organizational policies and support to maintain employees' mental health and reduce work stress rates for long-term organizational sustainability.

This study aims to examine the effect of Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment on Turnover Intention with Job Stress as a mediating variable among working Master of Management students. This study applies the Job Demands-Resources Model and Social Exchange Theory to explain the relationships among variables. A quantitative approach with a causal research design was employed. The population consisted of 95 working Master of Management students enrolled in 2025, and 50 respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment have significant negative effects on Job Stress, while Job Stress has a significant positive effect on Turnover Intention. However, Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment do not directly affect Turnover Intention. Furthermore, Job Stress significantly mediates the effects of Work-Life Balance and Organizational Commitment on Turnover Intention. These findings indicate that reducing job stress is an important mechanism for lowering Turnover Intention among working students. The study contributes to the application of the Job Demands-Resources Model and Social Exchange Theory in the context of working graduate students.

This study examines the effect of workload and work-life balance on employee performance through job satisfaction among working master’s students in Jakarta. This population faces dual demands from professional and academic responsibilities, making the maintenance of job satisfaction and performance increasingly challenging. Drawing on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model and Social Exchange Theory, this study investigates how job demands and resources influence employee outcomes. A quantitative causal approach was employed using data from 57 working master’s students collected through convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The results show that workload negatively and significantly affects job satisfaction but has no significant direct effect on employee performance. In contrast, work-life balance positively and significantly affects both job satisfaction and employee performance. Job satisfaction positively affects employee performance and fully mediates the relationship between workload and employee performance, while partially mediating the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance. These findings support the JD-R Model and Social Exchange Theory by highlighting the role of job satisfaction as a mechanism linking work conditions and employee performance. Practically, organizations and higher education institutions should support work-life balance and manage workload effectively to enhance satisfaction and performance among working postgraduate students.

This study investigates the critical factors influencing job satisfaction among night shift employees at RSUD KHZ Musthafa Singaparna Tasikmalaya, given the inherent challenges of 24-hour hospital operations. Night shift workers are particularly susceptible to physical and psychological strain, which can elevate job stress and disrupt work-life balance, ultimately threatening their job satisfaction. The research employs a quantitative associative approach, utilizing Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 75 night shift staff selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression with SPSS. Instrument validation confirmed that all items were both valid and reliable. Partial regression results reveal that job stress exerts a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (t = 3.106, Sig. = 0.003), while work-life balance also demonstrates a positive and significant impact (t = 1.815, Sig. = 0.044). Simultaneously, both variables together significantly influence job satisfaction (F = 10.121, Sig. < 0.001), with an RSquare of 0.419, indicating that 41.9% of the variance is explained by the model, while 58.1% is attributable to external factors. These findings underscore the importance for hospital management to actively manage job stress through targeted interventions and design equitable shift scheduling policies. Such strategies are essential to sustaining high levels of employee satisfaction, which in turn supports both staff well-being and the quality of patient care in a demanding healthcare environment.
