Analysis of The Influence of Work Environment Factors on Work Productivity Through Work Stress Workers In Nickel Mines In 2024

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of work environment factors on work productivity by examining work stress in nickel mines in 2024. This study employs a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design. The quantitative phase involved 161 respondents selected using the total sampling technique, while the qualitative phase included 10 informants chosen through purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and interview guidelines, with analysis conducted using univariate, bivariate, multivariate, and content analysis for qualitative data. Mental workload (p = 0.006), social support (p = 0.033), noise (p = 0.020), work climate (p = 0.020), and work stress (p = 0.000) significantly affect work productivity, while satisfaction with superiors and coworkers (p = 0.264) does not. In the multivariate test, only mental workload (p = 0.036), social support (p = 0.000), and work stress (p = 0.000) remain significant factors influencing work productivity. Mental workload and social support and work stress have a significant effect on work productivity from both bivariate and multivariate tests. This is also supported by the results of interviews related to the 2 factors, namely working time, mental activity, time pressure, performance, physical activity, business needs, emotional support, reward support and instrumental support.
