Abstract :

This study aims to explore the effect of role overload on physical and psychological health, as well as job satisfaction of employees in the Prosecutor’s Office. Role overload experienced by employees can cause prolonged stress, which has a negative impact on mental and physical health. Using a cross-sectional survey, data were collected from 371 Prosecutor’s Office employees in Surakarta and Central Java. The results showed that role overload had a significant effect on physical and psychological health, and contributed to the level of job satisfaction. In addition, burnout was found to be a mediator in the relationship between role overload and job satisfaction. This study provides important insights into human resource management in the public sector to create a better working environment for employees.
