Abstract :

Organizational Culture that is oriented towards the regularity of observed behavior, strong norms, dominant values, philosophy, rules, and organizational climate directly contributes to the increasing Work Stress felt by employees, in the form of physiological symptoms, psychological symptoms, and behavioral symptoms. Likewise, Competence that is oriented towards high knowledge, understanding, ability, values, attitudes, and interests, but is less in accordance with the competencies needed to carry out the work that is directly responsible contributes to the increasing Work Stress felt by employees, in the form of physiological symptoms, psychological symptoms, and behavioral symptoms.

The research findings show that Organizational Culture and Competence have a significant positive impact on employee Work Stress. Organizational Culture encourages the creation of an obligation to submit to and comply with strict regulations governing the main tasks and functions in carrying out work, but the process of determining the regulations themselves is very long, so that when the regulations are issued, it is close to the deadline for the work implementation stage, this makes it difficult for employees because they have to immediately learn, adjust and adopt the regulations to complete the work with a limited deadline, in the end this condition causes the work stress felt by employees to increase. While the high Competence possessed but not in accordance with the work that is the responsibility causes a lack of sufficient understanding of the character of the work that is the responsibility and knowledge that does not comply with the standards set causes the Work Stress felt by employees to increase, because employees are required to be able to adapt and work in new fields of work that are far different from the competencies they have. In this study, statistically Workload has a significant positive influence as a mediator of the influence of the variables Organizational Culture and Competence on Work Stress. This shows that Workload is able to help explain why Organizational Culture and Competence cause Work Stress felt by employees to increase.

This study underlines the importance of creating a more positive organizational culture, ensuring that each employee has high competencies that are appropriate or suitable for the field of work they are responsible for, and carefully managing the existing workload. These findings provide valuable insights for organizations that seek to manage employee work stress levels by utilizing appropriate regulatory practices, understanding, knowledge, and skills appropriate to the field of work being worked on, and adjustments to work conditions, target setting, and better use of working time.
