Kesejahteraan pekerja menjadi unsur penting bagi terbentuknya pengalaman kerja yang memungkinkan setiap individu melaksanakan tanggung jawab secara nyaman sekaligus produktif. Kajian ini menguji keterkaitan tiga kelompok prediktor, yaitu kondisi fisik beserta interaksi sosial di tempat kerja, karakter pekerjaan yang dibentuk oleh organisasi, serta cara pegawai memandang pekerjaan dan prospek kariernya, terhadap tingkat kesejahteraan tenaga kerja di Samudra Supermarket Kota Madiun. Sebanyak 123 pegawai dilibatkan seluruhnya sebagai responden sehingga tidak dilakukan pemilihan sebagian anggota populasi. Informasi empiris diperoleh melalui instrumen pernyataan berskala Likert dan selanjutnya diolah dengan IBM SPSS menggunakan pemodelan linear multivariabel. Pengujian secara terpisah memperlihatkan bahwa masing-masing prediktor bergerak searah dan terbukti bermakna secara statistik dalam menjelaskan kesejahteraan pegawai. Ketika seluruh prediktor diuji dalam satu model, kemampuan penjelasannya mencapai 62,1% terhadap keragaman kesejahteraan tenaga kerja. Temuan tersebut memperlihatkan bahwa suasana kerja yang aman dan nyaman, rancangan pekerjaan yang memberikan dukungan, serta pandangan yang optimistis mengenai pekerjaan merupakan unsur penting bagi kualitas kehidupan kerja. Oleh sebab itu, pengelola perlu menjaga sekaligus memperkuat ketiga aspek tersebut agar kondisi kesejahteraan pegawai dapat dipertahankan dan ditingkatkan.

Kata Kunci: kondisi kerja fisik-sosial, rancangan pekerjaan organisasional, pandangan terhadap pekerjaan, kesejahteraan pegawai 

Abstract 

Employee well-being is closely connected to the quality of everyday work experiences that allow individuals to carry out their responsibilities comfortably and productively. This inquiry evaluates three groups of predictors: the physical setting and interpersonal climate of the workplace, organization-shaped features of employees’ roles, and workers’ perceptions of their present jobs and future career prospects. Employee well-being at Samudra Supermarket in Madiun City serves as the principal outcome. All 123 staff members were included in the assessment, meaning that no smaller subgroup was selected from the workforce. Empirical responses were obtained through a Likert-type instrument and subsequently processed in IBM SPSS with a multivariable linear modeling procedure. Separate statistical examinations revealed that each predictor was positively associated with the outcome and reached statistical significance. When entered jointly into one model, these predictors accounted for 62.1% of the observed variability in workforce well-being. The evidence therefore emphasizes the value of providing a secure and comfortable workplace, designing roles that offer adequate organizational resources, and fostering optimistic views regarding employees’ occupational futures. Management is consequently expected to preserve and further strengthen these conditions as part of its efforts to sustain workforce welfare.
