Psychological Factors Associated with Quality of Life during the Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Pandemic: A Sem Analysis in an Context Employee

Abstract

The lack of researchers and industrial psychologists and organizations that have conducted research related to structural stress (ST), anxiety (AN), and depression (DP) models as the three main psychological factors that are able to influence the quality of life of employees (QOL). Our study aims to build a model that involves ST, AN, and DP in predicting employee QOL during the COVID-19 pandemic through structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis. We investigate the factors that predict QOL by reporting ST, AN, and DP which directly have an effect on QOL for employees, and examine the possibility of a correlation between ST, AN, DP, and QOL. The study also examined whether there were constant differences between employee demographic data (gender, age, educational attainment, marital status, and length of work) related to all variables studied. We involved a sample of 108 employees in three districts in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia by filling out online instruments. The statistical procedures involved in this study are the index of content validity (CVI), factorial validity (EFA and CFA), covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM), t-test, and one way ANOVA test. Our findings report that the structural model is valid and reliable. ST, AN, and DP directly affect employee QOL. In addition, QOL was also informed that QOL had a strong and significant correlation with ST, AN, and DP. There were no significant differences in gender, age, educational attainment, and length of work) obtained, except for DP and QOL on marital status.

Abstrak

Minimnya peneliti dan psikolog industri maupun organisasi yang melakukan penelitian terkait model stres struktural (ST), kecemasan (AN), dan depresi (DP) sebagai tiga faktor psikologis utama yang mampu mempengaruhi kualitas hidup karyawan (QOL). Penelitian kami bertujuan untuk membangun model yang melibatkan ST, AN, dan DP dalam memprediksi QOL karyawan selama pandemi COVID-19 melalui analisis structural equation modeling (SEM). Kami menyelidiki faktor-faktor yang memprediksi QOL dengan melaporkan ST, AN, dan DP yang secara langsung berpengaruh pada QOL karyawan, serta menguji kemungkinan adanya korelasi antara ST, AN, DP, dan QOL. Penelitian ini juga menguji apakah ada perbedaan konstan antara data demografi karyawan (jenis kelamin, usia, tingkat pendidikan, status pernikahan, dan lama bekerja) yang terkait dengan semua variabel yang diteliti. Kami melibatkan sampel sebanyak 108 karyawan di tiga kabupaten di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan, Indonesia dengan mengisi instrumen secara online. Prosedur statistik yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah indeks validitas isi (CVI), validitas faktorial (EFA dan CFA), pemodelan persamaan struktural berbasis kovarian (CB-SEM), uji-t, dan uji ANOVA satu arah. Temuan kami melaporkan bahwa model struktural tersebut valid dan dapat diandalkan. ST, AN, dan DP secara langsung mempengaruhi QOL karyawan. Selain itu, QOL juga diinformasikan bahwa QOL memiliki korelasi yang kuat dan signifikan dengan ST, AN, dan DP. Tidak ada perbedaan yang signifikan pada jenis kelamin, usia, tingkat pendidikan, dan masa kerja) yang diperoleh, kecuali untuk DP dan QOL pada status pernikahan.
