Journal Title: International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research and Analysis - Year 2022, Vol 5, Issue 09
Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has created working condition that is totally new to working population globally, including Indonesia. Social distancing policies have forced employee to work from home where work-life and family-life domains become blur and may increase level of stress due to various reasons. Employees that need to work in the office may be fear of infection if the working environment is perceived not safe. Other factors, such as leadership style, may complicate the issues faced by the employees. Previous studies on how COVID-19 pandemic affects employee motivation are still limited. This study answers the limited research on employee motivation during COVID-19 pandemic and attempts to minimize the gap by investigating the relationship and impact of four independent variables (safe working environment, special benefit, perceived work-life balance, and transformational leadership) on employee motivation during COVID-19 pandemic. Online questionnaire survey method was employed to collect data from 325 active working employees mainly across Java Island. Multiple regression using SPSS version 25 was applied to analyze the data. Results show that all four variables have positive relationship with employee motivation. However, only three variables (safe working environment, special benefits, and transformational leadership) have significant impact on employee motivation.
