Abstract
Although research on career resilience has been widely studied, most existing research examines individual and organizational contextual factors separately. This study aims to determine the influence of emotional intelligence and work-family culture on career resilience among workers in Jakarta. This study is needed because almost all research on emotional intelligence and career resilience has been conducted in Western countries with socio-cultural contexts fundamentally different from Indonesia. This study employed a quantitative, non-experimental approach involving 132 workers in Jakarta. The research instruments consisted of the Career Resilience Scale, Emotional Intelligence Scale, and Work-Family Culture Questionnaire. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that emotional intelligence and work-family culture jointly had a significant effect on career resilience. Partially, emotional intelligence had a positive and significant effect on career resilience, whereas work-family culture did not have a significant effect. These findings indicate that emotional intelligence is a dominant factor in enhancing employees’ career resilience, while work-family culture does not have a direct effect on career resilience.
Meskipun penelitian tentang ketahanan karier telah banyak dipelajari, sebagian besar penelitian yang ada meneliti faktor konteks individu dan organisasi secara terpisah. Studi ini bertujuan untuk menentukan pengaruh kecerdasan emosional dan budaya kerja-keluarga terhadap ketahanan karier di kalangan pekerja di Jakarta. Studi ini dibutuhkan karena hampir semua penelitian tentang kecerdasan emosional dan ketahanan karier telah dilakukan di negara-negara Barat dengan konteks sosial-budaya yang pada dasarnya berbeda dari Indonesia. Studi ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif non-eksperimental yang dilakukan pada 132 pekerja di Jakarta. Instrumen penelitian terdiri dari Skala Ketahanan Karier, Skala Kecerdasan Emosional, dan Kuesioner Budaya Kerja-Keluarga. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan regresi linier berganda. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa kecerdasan emosional dan budaya kerja-keluarga secara simultan memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap ketahanan karier. Secara parsial, kecerdasan emosional memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap ketahanan karier, sedangkan budaya kerja-keluarga tidak memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa kecerdasan emosional merupakan faktor dominan dalam meningkatkan ketahanan karier karyawan, sementara budaya kerja-keluarga tidak memiliki dampak langsung terhadap ketahanan karier.
