Maria Sianturi dan Zulkarnain

ABSTRAK
Keberhasilan suatu organisasi ditandai dengan karyawan yang bahagia di
tempat kerjanya. Bagi karyawan yang sudah menikah, tuntutan pekerjaan dan
keluarga harus dijalankan dengan seimbang karena kepuasan dalam keluarga
berkontribusi terhadap kebahagiaaan di tempat kerja. Selanjutnya, ketika
karyawan dapat menjaga keseimbangan pemenuhan tuntutan pekerjaan dan
keluarga, maka karyawan akan terhindar dari work-family conflict. Penelitian ini
bertujuan untuk mengetahui hubungan antara work-family conflict dengan
happiness at work. Jenis penelitian ini adalah kuantitatif korelasional dengan
melibatkan 288 karyawan perkebunan di Medan. Alat ukur yang digunakan
adalah skala happiness at work berdasarkan teori Ryff dan Keyes (1995) dan skala
work-family conflict berdasarkan teori Greenhaus dan Beutell (1985). Analisa data
dilakukan dengan menggunakan Pearson product moment. Hasil penelitian
menunjukkan nilai r = -.329 yang berarti bahwa ada hubungan negatif antara
work-family conflict dengan happiness at work. Untuk mengetahui dimensi workfamily conflict yang berhubungan dengan happiness at work, maka dilakukan
analisa regresi stepwise. Berdasarkan analisa diperoleh dua dimensi yang
berkorelasi dengan happiness at work, yaitu time-based conflict dan strain-based
conflict.

Kata kunci: karyawan, happiness at work, work-family conflict.
