Turnover Intention (intensitas perpindahan) adalah keinginan berpindah karyawan dari satu tempat kerja ketempat kerja lainnya. Hanya keinginan untuk pindah, belum sampai realisasi untuk melakukan perpindahan. Turnover merupakan kejadian yang wajar dalam setiap perusahaan. Namun jika penggantian karyawan ini karena faktor produktifitas, maka dapat diantisipasi oleh perusahaan melalui penyiapan kader-kader untuk menggantikan. Jika penggantian karyawan tidak berkaitan dengan implementasi program kerja yang telah ditetapkan, maka hal ini akan sangat menyulitkan perusahaan. Pada penelitian ini ingin mengetahui karakteristik karyawan setrta mengetahui variabel yang berpengaruh terhadap Turnover Intention melalui analisis korespondensi. Setelah diperoleh variabel berpengaruh selanjutnya digunakan untuk mencari model regresi logistik ordinal. Dari model regresi logistik selanjutnya digunakan untuk mencari besarnya probabilitas Turnover Intention karyawan. Dimana Turnover Intention dipengaruhi oleh Job satisfaction of work, Social support, sedangkan untuk Job satisfaction dipengaruhi oleh Quality of supervisior, dan compensation. Hasil pengolahan diketahui bahwa variabel yang berpengaruh adalah Job satisfaction katagori puas dan Social support katagori puas. Probabilitas Turnover Intention level tinggi dan level rendah hampir sama yaitu sebesar 0.119 dan 0,118. Sebagian besar probabilitas Turnover Intention berada pada level sedang yaitu sebesar 0,763. Kondisi tersebut perlu mendapat perhatian dari perusahaan agar karyawan yang berada pada probabilitas Turnover Intention level sedang dapat beralih menjadi level rendah dengan cara meningkatkan kepuasan kerja dan dukungan sosial pada diri karyawannya.

Four Dimensions

There may be so many negative consequences of stress for human beings and dissatisfaction among employees happens to be one of the major problems. It indicates negative feelings that individuals have regarding their jobs or its facets. On the other hand, social support is assumed to be mitigating the relationship between negative aspects of the work environment and job satisfaction. Job stress is said to be associated with job dissatisfaction as well as experience of strain. In view of the above, this study examined the role of job stress and social support in job satisfaction. The sample consisted of 30 school teachers from different school of Varanasi (U.P.). The job stress, job satisfaction and social support scales were administered on the participants. The responses of the participants were converted into scores for statistical analyses. The scores of participants on the scales were correlated. The findings revealed that job stress led to increased job satisfaction. It is against the proposed hypothesis and it appears as if the social support received by the participants is a factor behind it. Two of the four dimensions of social support were found to exert positive impact on job satisfaction but the other two dimensions were not found to be correlated with it. The findings are thoroughly discussed and interpreted.

Coping Processes

This chapter presents an overview of the development and status of the reality negotiation construct and relates it to a variety of coping processes. The reality negotiation construct follows from the social constructionist tradition and first appeared in discussions of how excuses protect self-images by decreasing the causal linkage to negative outcomes. The reality negotiation construct was later expanded to include a discussion of how the process of hoping may be used to increase perceived linkage to positive outcomes. In the two decades since these constructs were first introduced, four individual differences measures have been developed, and the effects of these reality negotiation techniques have been studied extensively. Reality negotiation techniques can be both maladaptive and adaptive and have been shown to be associated with coping and social support in a variety of populations. The chapter concludes by highlighting a few areas in which reality negotiation research could expand to further its relevance and applicability to the field of positive psychology.

Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire

The current study examines the Job Demands-Resources theory among pedagogical professionals. A total of 466 pedagogues (n = 227 teachers; n = 239 social workers) completed the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire online. After testing the questionnaire structure using confirmatory factor analysis, a JD-R-based prediction model to predict effects of strains on the outcome constructs of burnout, job satisfaction, general state of health, and life satisfaction was estimated. The results confirm the questionnaire structure (RMSEA= 0.038; CFI = 0.94) as well as the fit of the prediction model (RMSEA = 0.039; CFI = 0.93). The outcome constructs could be predicted by emotional demands, work–privacy conflict, role conflicts, influence at work, scope for decision making, and opportunities for development (0.41 ≤ R² ≤ 0.57). Especially for life satisfaction, a moderator analysis proved the differences between teachers and social workers in the structure of the prediction model. For teachers, quantitative demands and work–privacy conflict are predictive, and for social workers, role conflicts and burnout are predictive. The study offers starting points for job-related measures of prevention and intervention.
