PERAN JOB CRAFTING TERHADAP INTENTION TO STAY DENGAN WORKPLACE FRIENDSHIP SEBAGAI MEDIATOR

Abstrak

Workplace friendship adalah hubungan interpersonal yang dikembangkan di antara
individu dalam organisasi (Sias, 2005). Adanya workplace friendship dapat mempengaruhi job
crafting pada karyawan (Weseler & Niessen 2016). Job crafting dapat meningkatkan orang-orang
dan memiliki kesamaan (Iqbal 2016) maupun komitmen afektif terhadap organisasi (Qi/Li/Zhang
2014), sehingga kemungkinan besar akan meningkatkan intention to stay. Berdasarkan Theory
Reasioned Action (RCA) dan teori identitas (theory identity), penelitian ini menguji efek mediasi
workplace friendship terhadap hubungan antara job crafting dan intention to stay pada karyawan.
Dengan metode purposive sampling, diperoleh responden sebanyak 173 karyawan yang tersebar di
Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menemukan hubungan yang positif dan signifikan antara intention to
stay, workplace friendship, dan job crafting pada karyawan di tempat kerja mereka. Hasil analisis juga
menunjukkan bahwa workplace friendship memiliki efek mediasi parsial pada hubungan antara job
crafting dan intention to stay.

Workplace friendship is an interpersonal relationship that is developed between individuals
in an organization (Sias, 2005). The existence of workplace friendship can influence employee job
crafting (Weseler & Niessen 2016). Job crafting can increase people's similarities (Iqbal 2016) and
affective commitment to the organization (Qi, Li, and Zhang 2014), so it is likely to increase their
intention to stay. Based on the Theory of Reasoned Action (RCA) and identity theory, this research
examines the mediating effect of workplace friendship on the relationship between job crafting and the
intention to stay as employees. Using the purposive sampling method, respondents were obtained from
as many as 173 employees spread across Indonesia. The research results found a positive and significant
relationship between intention to stay, workplace friendship, and job crafting among employees at their
workplace. The analysis results also show that workplace friendship has a partial mediating effect on
the relationship between job crafting and the intention to stay.
