JURNAL RISET MANAJEMEN (JURMA) 2026 Institut Teknologi dan Bisnis (ITB) Semarang

This study aims to analyze the effect of workload and work benefits on employee performance, with work motivation serving as a mediating variable at PT. WOM Finance Tbk Regional Jabodebek. This study employed a quantitative approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 162 employees selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with the assistance of SmartPLS 4 software to examine the relationships among variables. The results indicate that workload has a significant effect on employee performance but does not significantly affect work motivation. Meanwhile, work benefits have a significant effect on work motivation but do not directly and significantly affect employee performance. Work motivation was found to have a significant effect on employee performance. In addition, work motivation was unable to mediate the effect of workload on employee performance but was able to mediate the effect of work benefits on employee performance. These findings suggest that improving work benefits and work motivation are important factors in supporting more optimal and sustainable improvements in employee performance at PT. WOM Finance Tbk Regional Jabodebek.

Education is the main driver of a nation's progress, which is not only related to intellectual intelligence, but also the formation of student character. Unfortunately, currently the world of education is facing serious problems, such as declining interest in learning and increasingly complex external factors in the digital era. This study aims to explore in depth the impact of learning motivation on student academic achievement, identifying obstacles that hinder this achievement. The method used in the current study is a literature study with a qualitative approach. Data were collected through theoretical studies and analysis of various relevant scientific sources, including research journals and textbooks, which were then combined to develop a comprehensive argument. The findings of this study indicate that learning motivation is the main factor that encourages student persistence and consistency in achieving the best learning. Academic success is defined as the result of a complex interaction between internal and external factors, where the existence of a supporting ecosystem such as good learning facilities, a supportive environment, and effective communication between lecturers and students plays a very important role. On the other hand, phenomena such as digital fatigue, low independence, and excessive workload are identified as significant barriers that can reduce academic performance. This analysis concludes that there is synergy in strengthening psychological aspects and creating an adaptable learning environment to maintain the stability of academic achievement amidst global demands.

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.

Irregular sleep patterns are a common issue experienced by university students and are often considered a normal part of academic life. However, such conditions can have negative effects on students’ learning concentration and cognitive function. Poor sleep patterns are generally influenced by various factors, including high academic workload, habitual late-night activities, poor time management, and excessive use of electronic devices at night. This study aims to examine the relationship between sleep patterns and students’ learning concentration, identify factors contributing to irregular sleep patterns, and analyze constraints as well as propose solutions to improve sleep quality in order to enhance learning concentration. The method used in this scientific paper is a literature review, which involves examining relevant scientific sources such as research journals and academic literature related to sleep patterns and students’ learning concentration. The results of the review indicate that students with poor sleep patterns tend to experience physical fatigue, decreased immune function, cognitive impairment, and difficulties in maintaining focus and concentration during the learning process. In the long term, these conditions have the potential to reduce academic achievement and learning motivation. Therefore, it can be concluded that effective time management, limiting the use of electronic devices before bedtime, creating a conducive sleep environment, and support from universities through health education play an important role in improving students’ sleep patterns. With regular and high-quality sleep, students’ learning concentration is expected to improve, allowing the learning process and academic achievement to proceed optimally.

This study aims to analyze the adaptation of new students to academic workload in higher education and to identify the factors that influence their success or failure. The approach used is qualitative with a literature study. Data were analyzed thematically thru the stages of reduction, display, and conclusion drawing, resulting in key patterns regarding the dynamics of new student adaptation. The results show that the majority of new students experience difficulties in their first semester, especially when the credit load exceeds 20 credits and they are faced with complex assignment demands, periodic exams, and independent time management. This condition triggers academic stress, emotional exhaustion, decreased motivation, and even burnout, contributing to the high dropout rate in the first year. On the other hand, self-efficacy and emotional intelligence have been shown to act as protective factors capable of reducing stress levels and improving the effectiveness of coping strategies. Additionally, comprehensive orientation programs, time management workshops, academic advising, and a supportive campus environment have been proven to improve retention and accelerate the adaptation process. This research concludes that the adaptation of new students is a multidimensional process that requires both personal capacity building and systemic support from the university. The proposed recommendations include phased curriculum design, the development of instrument-based adaptation counselling services, and the implementation of a continuous mentoring program to reduce the risk of adaptation failure and optimize the academic potential of new students.

Academic stress has become a significant psychological issue among university students, particularly during periods of high academic pressure such as examinations, intensive coursework, and academic performance demands. Excessive academic stress may negatively affect students’ psychological well-being, learning motivation, and academic performance. This study aims to explore in depth the experiences of academic stress and psychological responses among students during periods of high academic pressure. A qualitative descriptive approach with a phenomenological perspective was employed to capture students’ lived experiences. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with six student participants selected using purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, involving open, axial, and selective coding to identify emerging themes. The findings reveal that the main sources of academic stress include excessive academic workload, time management difficulties, high self-expectations, and external academic pressures. Students experienced varying levels of stress ranging from mild to severe, manifested through psychological responses such as anxiety, emotional instability, mental fatigue, decreased concentration, and reduced motivation. The study also found that students applied diverse coping strategies, including adaptive strategies such as time management, seeking social support, and self-reflection, as well as maladaptive strategies such as procrastination and emotional withdrawal. These findings highlight that academic stress is a complex and subjective experience influenced by individual perceptions and coping capacities. The study implies the importance of supportive academic environments and accessible mental health services in higher education institutions to promote students’ psychological well-being and resilience. The results may serve as a reference for developing preventive and promotive mental health programs for students facing academic stress..

This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style, work environment, and workload on employee performance at PT BFI Finance Indonesia Tbk, Semarang Branch, using the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) Theory as its underlying framework. The JD-R model posits that employee performance and well-being depend on the balance between job demands and job resources. The research employed a quantitative explanatory approach involving 56 employees from the Central Operation division, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 21. The results reveal that leadership style and work environment have positive and significant effects on employee performance, while workload has a significant negative effect. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.673 indicates that the three variables collectively explain 67.3% of employee performance variation. Respondents perceived that communication and support from leaders were strong, and social relations in the workplace were positive, although workload and performance targets were considered relatively high. These findings reinforce the JD-R Theory (Bakker & Demerouti, 2017), showing that leadership and work environment function as job resources that enhance motivation and performance, whereas excessive workload represents job demands that may hinder employee outcomes if not properly managed. Practically, organizations in the financial services sector should maintain a balance between job demands and job resources to achieve sustainable employee performance improvement.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Innovative Work Behaviour, Upskilling, and Work Ethic on the Health Workers Performance with Intention to Stay as an intervening variable at RSUD Sumberrejo. The background of this research stems from challenges in improving service quality, high workload, and the need to strengthen competency and retention among health workers. The study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires, with data analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS version 4.0. The population consists of 216 employees, and the sampling technique used is non-probability sampling, resulting in 140 respondents. The findings reveal that Innovative Work Behaviour, Work Ethic, and Intention to Stay have a significant positive effect on the performance of health workers. In addition, Innovative Work Behaviour and Work Ethic significantly influence Intention to Stay. However, Upskilling shows a positive but non-significant effect on both Intention to Stay and Performance, indicating that skill enhancement requires managerial support and motivation to contribute effectively to employee performance. Intention to Stay serves as a mediating variable in several relationships among the constructs. Strengthening innovative behaviour, work ethic, and competency development, accompanied by appropriate retention strategies, is essential for improving the performance of health workers in regional hospitals. Future studies are recommended to develop the research model by incorporating additional variables that may have stronger effects on Intention to Stay and Performance. Keywords: Innovative Work Behaviour; Upskilling, Work Ethic; Intention to Stay; Health Workers Performance

This article investigates how Islamic Education teachers implement their professional competence in managing learning at a public Islamic senior secondary school in North Maluku, Indonesia. Teacher competence is understood as a multidimensional construct that includes pedagogical, professional, personal, social, and spiritual dimensions and is expressed through lesson planning, classroom instruction, and learning assessment. Using a qualitative naturalistic design, data were collected through participant observation, in depth interviews with teachers, school leaders, and students, and documentation of lesson plans and institutional records. The findings show that lesson planning is carried out consistently and aligned with the curriculum, but the depth and creativity of plans vary between teachers, with some documents remaining largely administrative. In classroom instruction, teachers demonstrate sincere efforts to create a conducive learning climate, connect Islamic teachings with students daily lives, and encourage participation, although limited use of educational technology, differences in student engagement, and classroom management challenges constrain the consistency of instructional quality. Assessment practices employ diverse techniques to evaluate cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains, yet the systematic use of formative and authentic assessment is still uneven due to workload and time pressures. Supporting factors include institutional backing through workshops and subject teacher forums, supportive leadership, adequate facilities, and teacher experience, while inhibiting factors comprise internal limitations in instructional design, external constraints related to technology and student diversity, and structural administrative demands. Overall, the study offers an integrated and context specific picture of how competence in learning management contributes to students understanding, motivation, and religious character.

This study aims to examine the effects of workload, job stress, and work spirit on employee performance at PT Victory International Futures Surabaya, a financial services company operating in the highly demanding futures trading industry. Employing a quantitative descriptive–correlational approach, data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression using JASP and Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) using WarpPLS, which is suitable for addressing multicollinearity issues and relatively small sample sizes (n = 37). The findings reveal that workload and job stress have significant negative effects on employee performance, whereas work spirit has a significant positive effect and emerges as the most dominant predictor. These results reinforce the Job Demands–Resources (JD–R) theory, which posits that job demands such as workload and stress can reduce performance when not balanced with adequate psychological resources like work spirit. Practically, the study recommends that management optimize workload distribution, implement stress management strategies, and strengthen employee motivation to improve performance sustainably. The study is limited by its small sample size and single-company focus, suggesting that future research should expand the organizational context and incorporate additional variables such as job satisfaction or organizational commitment.

This study investigates the impact of intrinsic motivation, workload, and competence on job satisfaction, exploring its implications for employee performance, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) for data analysis collected via questionnaires. The results reveal that intrinsic motivation has a positive but insignificant impact on job satisfaction and performance. Workload significantly improves job satisfaction but does not affect performance, while competence significantly enhances both job satisfaction and performance. Additionally, job satisfaction positively affects employee performance. The mediation analysis reveals that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between competence and workload on performance, but does not mediate the relationship between intrinsic motivation and performance. These findings highlight the critical roles of competence and job satisfaction in improving employee performance, suggesting that intrinsic motivation and workload may require additional factors, such as compensation and work environment, to be more effective.
