Psychological Capital and Job Demands in Reducing Job Fatigue

Arief Dwi Hartanto, Widodo Widodo

Abstract


This study is an explanatory research aimed at examining the influence of job demands on job burnout, as well as the moderating role of psychological capital and supervisory support in that relationship. The object of this research is all human resources (HR) at the KPP Madya Semarang office, with a total sample of 60 employees selected using a census technique. The data used in this study is primary data, collected directly through questionnaires distributed to respondents. The questionnaires employed a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 to measure responses related to job demands, job burnout, psychological capital, and supervisory support variables. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling with a Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach. The results of the first hypothesis test show that job demands have a positive and significant effect on job burnout, indicating that higher job demands are associated with increased levels of employee burnout. Furthermore, the second hypothesis test confirms that psychological capital acts as a moderating variable that effectively weakens the relationship between job demands and job burnout. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening psychological capital as a strategy to reduce the negative impact of job pressure on employee well-being.
