A Study on Work Management Practices and its impact on Productivity: Moderating role of Sustainable Work Environment

/in /by

The concept of a Sustainable Work Environment (SWE) has garnered significant attention in recent times, as organizations strive to achieve higher levels of employee well-being and productivity. This paper aims to investigate the influence of SWE on work management and productivity, focusing on three primary objectives: a) understanding the factors contributing to a challenging SWE, b) identifying gaps in existing work environments that hinder performance, and c) comprehending employee perceptions of SWE and its impact on work management practices.

To accomplish the research objectives, a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. Firstly, an extensive review of the relevant literature was conducted, exploring the diverse factors influencing the creation of a challenging SWE (Objective a). This investigation revealed critical aspects such as work-life balance, organizational culture, leadership support, employee involvement, and physical workspace conditions as key determinants of SWE.

Subsequently, surveys will be employed to identify specific gaps in the current work environments that impede employee performance (Objective b). The research will highlight the crucial hindrances like inadequate resources, communication barriers, unclear job roles, and lack of employee recognition.

The study will also delve into understanding the employee perception of SWE and its effect on work management practices (Objective c). Through employee surveys and feedback, the research will explore more on how employees’ view their work environment impacting their motivation, job satisfaction, and overall work performance.

The outcomes of this research may have significant implications for organizations aiming to create a more sustainable and productive work environment. By addressing the identified factors contributing to a challenging SWE and recognizing existing gaps in work management, organizations can proactively design targeted interventions to foster a more supportive and conducive workplace. Cultivating a positive SWE and understanding employee perceptions will lead to greater job satisfaction, reduced turnover rates, and heightened productivity, ultimately driving organizational success.

Global business conditions and rupiah exchange rate fluctuations have also contributed to the oil and gas market decline since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic in Indonesia in the first quarter of 2020. In addition, the existing state of oil and gas, which generally experiences periodic declines, is a challenge for the company to maintain the company’s business. Oil and gas companies, like other businesses, need people to carry out their activities and meet their production targets. The oil and gas business, by its very nature, requires sufficient human resources in terms of numbers and skills. If this is not regulated, it can lead to understaffing affecting goal achievement or over-employment, which can reduce company productivity. This study therefore aims to ensure adequate worker availability through workforce planning. Based on current personnel analysis and personnel planning strategy, PT. X has many flaws in its workforce planning/strategy, including its productivity, unstable headcount, lack of talent development and leadership skills The strategic manpower framework for the internal labor market will be implemented by filling out the main activities excluded from internal resources and open core activities over the next five years from external recruitment to enhance the core functionality. It is proposed to set up a skills development program to improve technical and managerial skills to ensure the use of temporary workers and their readiness for current and future positions.

Due to the current pandemic of COVID-19 which rendered many public and crowded places closed for safety measures and preventing further spreading of the mentioned disease. One of the places closed as a safety precaution is schools. And because of this, many high school students’ education is put on pause as they are encouraged to stay at home. Moreover, citizens other than students are obliged to stay at home and engage in minimal contact with the outside world. From this, we are introduced to the word quarantine which is an official term describing the act of imposing isolation on individuals or a group of individuals; consequently, most adults and parents fear that this will affect their children’s productivity especially that they are in high school and very close to transitioning to universities and adulthood. As thai highschoolers, we wanted to put this belief to the test by conducting this research which focuses mainly on assessing the effects of quarantine on thai high school students’ productivity in terms of self care, education,and contribution to others. Our goal is to disprove the assumption held by many that quarantine would lead to decrement of high school students’ productivity. Interestingly, our thesis was proven true and our thought processes and procedures will be further elaborated in this research paper.
