Employee performance is a critical element in organizational success, particularly in labor-intensive industries such as garment manufacturing. This study aims to analyze the effect of work stress (X1) and work environment (X2) on employee performance (Y) in garment industry companies in Semarang Regency. A quantitative descriptive approach with multiple linear regression analysis was employed. The population and sample comprised 96 employees using total sampling. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) with 10 items per variable. All classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity) were satisfied. Reliability tests yielded Cronbach's Alpha of 0.866 (work stress), 0.941 (work environment), and 0.937 (employee performance), confirming instrument reliability. Results indicate: (1) work stress has no significant partial effect on employee performance (t = 1.581; sig. = 0.117); (2) work environment has a significant positive partial effect on employee performance (t = 9.618; sig. = 0.000); (3) simultaneously, both variables significantly affect employee performance (F = 56.630; sig. = 0.000) with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 54.9%. These findings confirm that optimizing the work environment both physical and non-physical is the primary strategic priority for enhancing employee performance in the garment industry.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and pose a significant public health challenge in Indonesia. Indonesian Army (TNI AD) personnel are at risk of developing NCDs due to operational stress, smoking habits, unhealthy dietary patterns, sleep disturbances, and insufficient physical activity outside working hours. Health education is an effective health promotion strategy to improve awareness and encourage healthy lifestyle behaviors for NCD prevention. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge of Indonesian Army personnel regarding the prevention of non-communicable diseases through health education. Methods: The program was conducted at the 18/YKR Combat Engineer Battalion, Gianyar, Bali, in August 2024 and involved 40 Indonesian Army personnel. The intervention consisted of preparation, health education delivered through lectures and interactive discussions, and evaluation using pre-test and post-test questionnaires to assess participants' knowledge before and after the educational session. Results: Before the intervention, 29 participants (72.5%) had fair knowledge and 11 (27.5%) had good knowledge regarding NCD prevention. Following the health education session, the number of participants with good knowledge increased to 14 (35.0%), while those with fair knowledge decreased to 26 (65.0%). Most participants also demonstrated improved post-test scores, indicating enhanced understanding of NCD risk factors and preventive measures. Conclusion: Health education effectively improved participants' knowledge regarding NCD prevention. Regular and sustainable educational programs in military settings are recommended to strengthen awareness, promote healthy lifestyle practices, and support the prevention of non-communicable diseases among Indonesian Army personnel.

This study aimed to analyze the influence of workload and burnout on nurses’ sleep quality while controlling for age, gender, and education as potential confounding variables. A quantitative analytic study with a cross-sectional design was conducted among 156 nurses working in a private hospital in Depok City. Data were collected using a workload questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The data were analyzed using Chi-Square tests and multiple logistic regression. The findings showed that both workload and burnout had significant effects on sleep quality (p < 0.05), with burnout identified as the most dominant factor. Age and gender were also significantly associated with sleep quality, whereas education did not show a statistically significant effect. The regression model demonstrated excellent fit, indicated by a McFadden pseudo R² value of 0.908. These results suggest that occupational factors, particularly burnout, play an important role in determining nurses’ sleep quality. Therefore, effective stress reduction and workload management strategies are needed to support nurses’ well-being and improve sleep quality.

Technological advances and increasing job demands have made work stress a major concern in modern industrial environments. Noise is one of the physical workplace factors that may contribute to work stress. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between noise exposure and work stress among workers in the spinning department of PT X. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 80 workers selected through purposive sampling. Noise levels were measured using a sound level meter, while work stress data were collected through a standardized questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the Chi-Square test.Most respondents were over 35 years old (80%) and female (54%). The highest noise level was recorded in the spinning room (102.17 dBA), while the fiber preparation room had the lowest level (84.07 dBA). Most workers experienced mild work stress (86.25%), whereas 13.75% reported moderate to high stress. The Chi-Square test showed no statistically significant relationship between noise and work stress (p = 0.074). However, the Likelihood Ratio test indicated a significant positive trend (p = 0.021). These findings suggest that excessive noise exposure may increase work stress and highlight the need for effective noise control, hearing protection, and stress management programs in the workplace.

 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.

Work stress is a critical occupational health concern among midwives working at primary healthcare facilities. This cross-sectional study aimed to analyze factors associated with work stress among 30 midwives, including age, marital status, length of service, and dual-role conflict. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring work stress (9 valid items) and dual-role conflict (6 items), and analyzed through univariate, bivariate (Fisher's Exact Test and Chi-Square), and multivariate (binary logistic regression) analyses. Results showed that 43.3% of midwives experienced high work stress and 53.3% reported high dual-role conflict. Bivariate analysis revealed significant associations between work stress and marital status (p=0.009) and dual-role conflict (p=0.004), while age (p=0.633) and length of service (p=0.586) were not significant. Multivariate analysis identified dual-role conflict as the primary determinant of work stress (OR=15.762; 95% CI: 2.149–115.631; p=0.007). Healthcare facility management should develop gender-responsive policies and workplace stress intervention programs to reduce dual-role conflict and work stress among midwives.

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.

This research explores the relationship between work-life balance, academic stress, and students’ academic performance by examining the mediating role of self-efficacy. The study is based on Social Cognitive Theory, which explains that self-efficacy plays an essential role in influencing individual behavior and achievement. A quantitative explanatory survey method was applied, involving undergraduate and postgraduate students from the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, as research participants. Data collection was conducted using online questionnaires, while the analysis employed the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The results demonstrate that work-life balance is positively associated with academic performance, although the relationship is not statistically significant. Meanwhile, academic stress has a negative but insignificant effect on academic performance. The findings also show that work-life balance significantly enhances students’ self-efficacy, whereas academic stress significantly decreases self-efficacy levels. Furthermore, self-efficacy has a significant positive impact on students’ academic performance. However, the mediation test indicates that self-efficacy does not significantly mediate the relationship between work-life balance, academic stress, and academic performance. In general, the study underlines the importance of self-efficacy in supporting academic achievement among students. Therefore, universities are expected to promote programs focused on strengthening self-efficacy, improving stress management, and maintaining a healthy balance between academic responsibilities and personal life to support sustainable academic success.

Work stress is a condition often experienced by nurses, especially those working in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) due to the high demands of the job and the responsibility of caring for critically ill patients. Work stress that is not managed properly can have an impact on nurses' health, one of which is sleep quality. Poor sleep quality can reduce concentration and performance and increase work fatigue. This study aims to determine the relationship between work stress and sleep quality among nurses in the ICU of Ulin Regional General Hospital in Banjarmasin. This study uses a quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. The research sample consists of ICU nurses selected using total sampling technique. The research instruments used are the Expanded Nursing Stress Scale (ENSS) to measure work stress and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality. Data analysis was performed using statistical tests to determine the relationship between the two variables. The results showed that most nurses experienced moderate work stress. In addition, many nurses still had five to six hours of sleep per night and experienced sleep disturbances. The analysis results showed a significant relationship between work stress and sleep quality among ICU nurses.

Nurse workload is the total number or volume of tasks that must be completed by nurses during their professional practice in hospitals, including both physical and mental responsibilities in providing nursing care to patients. Meanwhile, nurse burnout is a condition of emotional and mental fatigue experienced by nurses due to prolonged work pressure and the high intensity of emotional demands in the hospital environment. However, workload problems are still commonly found in hospitals, with one of the main contributing factors being work stress caused by excessive job demands and continuous pressure during work activities. The population in this study were outpatient, inpatient and emergency nurses at Ibnu Sina Islamic Hospital, Bukittinggi in 2025 This study used a quantitative method with a cross-sectional approach, analyzing the relationship between one variable and another. This study had 130 samples consisting of outpatient nurses, inpatient nurses, and emergency room nurses. Sampling was carried out using a total sampling technique. The results of this study indicate a significant relationship between workload and burnout at a significance level of 0.00 (≤ 0.05). There is a significant relationship between workload and nurse fatigue at Ibnu Sina Islamic Hospital Bukittinggi in 2025.

This study aims to analyze the relationship between workload and teacher well-being in a socio-economic context through a literature review approach. Teachers play a crucial role in the success of the education system, but increasing work demands, changes in education policies, and advances in digital learning have increased the complexity of their tasks. Teachers' workload extends beyond the teaching process to include administrative aspects, assessment, student guidance, and other professional responsibilities that can impact their well-being. The methodology used was a literature review, reviewing various academic sources, including journal articles, scientific books, and research reports published between 2021 and 2026. The data were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify patterns of association between workload and teacher well-being from a social and economic perspective. The study findings indicate that high workload contributes to increased stress, emotional exhaustion, and decreased job satisfaction, particularly when job demands are not supported by adequate resources. Teacher well-being has been shown to be complex, encompassing interrelated economic, psychological, and social factors. Elements such as income, a supportive work environment, and professional recognition are crucial in improving teacher well-being and work motivation. This study emphasizes that managing a proportional workload and improving teacher welfare are strategic steps to support teacher professionalism and the overall quality of education. These findings are expected to serve as a reference for policymakers in formulating strategies to improve teachers' quality of work life.

This study aims to analyze student time management and its relationship to academic productivity among students in the Economics Education Study Program, Jambi University, class of 2023. This study used a qualitative approach with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with a number of students selected purposively. The results showed that most students were unable to manage their time optimally, as reflected in the habit of procrastinating on assignments, a lack of structured planning, and an imbalance between academic and non-academic activities. Many students tended to work on assignments only close to the deadline and found it difficult to maintain a consistent schedule. Conversely, students who had a more structured time plan, such as compiling daily to-do lists and setting priorities, demonstrated better academic productivity. They were able to complete assignments on time, produce better quality work, and were more active in the learning process and class discussions. This study confirms that effective time management plays a crucial role in improving student academic productivity, both in terms of the quality of work results and the timeliness of assignment completion. Therefore, more intensive efforts are needed to increase students' awareness and skills in time management, so they can achieve optimal learning outcomes, reduce stress levels, and face academic demands more efficiently. In this context, developing good time management strategies is essential to help students maximize their academic potential.

This study aims to examine the impact of academic burnout on students’ mental health in the context of hybrid learning through a literature review approach. The rapid transformation of learning systems in higher education, particularly the integration of online and offline methods, has increased academic demands and adaptation challenges for students. This condition potentially triggers academic burnout, which is characterized by emotional exhaustion, depersonalization, and decreased academic achievement. This research employs a literature review method by analyzing relevant scientific articles published between 2019-2025 obtained from indexed national journals and open-access sources. The findings indicate that academic burnout is still commonly experienced by students, generally at a moderate level, and has a significant impact on mental health, including increased stress, emotional fatigue, and decreased academic performance. The study also identifies several influencing factors, including internal factors such as self-efficacy and hardiness, as well as external factors such as social support, learning environment, and academic workload. Furthermore, technological developments, particularly Artificial Intelligence, have the potential to be utilized as an early detection and prevention tool for academic burnout. This study implies the importance of developing adaptive learning strategies and psychological interventions to support students’ well-being in hybrid learning environments.

This study aims to analyze the impact of bullying on adolescents’ mental health through a literature review. The method used is a literature review, which involves the collection and analysis of various relevant scientific articles published in the last five years.  Data were obtained from journals and related scientific works, then systematically analyzed to identify patterns of association between bullying and adolescents’ mental health. The results of the review indicate that the majority of studies reveal a negative impact of bullying on mental health, such as the emergence of anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and difficulties in social interaction. However, some studies found that this relationship was not statistically significant, suggesting the role of other factors, such as social support, family circumstances, and an individual’s ability to cope with stress. In addition to affecting victims, bullying also impacts perpetrators and bystanders, making it a complex phenomenon. Therefore, comprehensive prevention and intervention efforts are needed through collaboration between schools, families, and the community.
