Pengaruh “Diuwongke” terhadap Work Engagement dengan Afek Positif sebagai Variabel Mediasi pada Karyawan Perkebunan

Abstract

Employees are valuable assets for an organization. In the process of achieving company goals, productivity is an important thing that must be considered. One of the efforts to increase employee productivity is to pay attention to the level of work engagement that exists among employees in the company. This research was conducted to examine the effect of diuwongke on work engagement with a positive affect as a mediating variable for plantation employees. The data collection method used the work engagement, diuwongke, and positive affect scales adapted from previous researchers and distributed to 368 respondents. Hypothesis testing uses a quantitative approach with the SEM PLS (structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares) method through the SmartPLS bootstrapping application. The results showed that there was a positive influence between variables. Diuwongke has a positive effect on positive affect and work engagement, then positive affect can partially mediate the influence of diuwongke on work engagement, meaning that diuwongke can influence work engagement through or without positive affect. The implication of the results of this research is that it is hoped that companies can maintain a positive attitude to strengthen employees' perceptions of diuwongke to increase employee work engagement.
