HUBUNGAN ORGANIZATION-BASED SELF-ESTEEM (OBSE) DENGAN KINERJA KARYAWAN KONTRAK

Abstract

Contract employees are a group of workers who are vulnerable to job uncertainty, limited career development, and low job security. These conditions can affect an individual's perception of their value and worth within the organization, or Organization-Based Self-Esteem (OBSE). This study aims to analyze the relationship between OBSE and the performance of contract employees. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory design and a cross-sectional method. The study sample consisted of 138 contract employees obtained through convenience sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out using the Organization-Based Self-Esteem Scale developed by Pierce et al. (1989) and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ) developed by Koopmans et al. (2014). Data analysis was performed using the Pearson Correlation test and simple linear regression. The results showed that there was no significant relationship between OBSE and the performance of contract employees (r = 0.066; p = 0.445). The regression analysis also showed that OBSE only explained 0.4% of the variation in employee performance (R² = 0.004), while the remaining 99.6% was influenced by factors outside the study. This finding indicates that employees' level of self-esteem within the organization is not a primary determinant of contract employee performance. Contract employee performance is thought to be more influenced by other factors, such as work motivation, compensation, job satisfaction, work environment, leadership, and job insecurity. Therefore, OBSE was not a significant predictor of contract employee performance in this study.
