Kreativitas Guru, Beban Kerja, Stres Kerja, Work-Life BalanceAbstract
The workload felt by teachers often makes them unable to be creative in developing classroom learning. In addition, stress management and balance between work and family life are things that need to be considered because they affect teachers' energy in the process of producing creative learning. This study aims to examine the effect of workload on creativity and how stress and work-life balance moderate the effect of workload on teacher creativity. The research location is a public junior high school in Cibinong District, Bogor Regency, West Java, Indonesia. This study employs PLS-SEM and simple random sampling, utilizing primary data from four public junior high schools in Cibinong District. The results of the study prove that (1) workload has a significant effect on teacher creativity; (2) stress does not moderate the effect of workload on teacher creativity; (3) work-life balance significantly moderates the effect of workload on teacher creativity. Through this study, it appears that a high work-life balance can weaken the impact of workload on decreasing teacher creativity in developing learning. The implications of this study are (1) for policymakers to design teacher workload in such a way that teachers are not burdened with complex administration; (2) for teachers, it is recommended to develop strategies to maintain work-life balance, such as time management, setting clear boundaries regarding work, and carrying out energy recovery activities.
ABSTRAK
Beban kerja yang dirasakan guru sering kali membuat guru tidak leluasa berkreasi dalam mengembangkan pembelajaran di kelas. Selain itu, pengelolaan stres dan keseimbangan antara kehidupan dunia kerja dan keluarga merupakan hal yang patut menjadi perhatian karena memengaruhi energi guru dalam proses menghasilkan kreativitas pembelajaran. Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat pengaruh beban kerja terhadap kreativitas, serta bagaimana stres dan work-life balance memoderasi pengaruh beban kerja terhadap kreativitas para guru dengan lokasi studi di SMP Negeri yang berada di Kecamatan Cibinong, Kabupaten Bogor, Jawa Barat, Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan PLS-SEM dengan teknik simple random sampling berdasarkan data primer dari empat SMP Negeri di Kecamatan Cibinong. Hasil penelitian membuktikan bahwa (1) beban kerja berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kreativitas guru; (2) stres tidak memoderasi pengaruh beban kerja terhadap kreativitas guru; (3) work-life balance secara signifikan memoderasi pengaruh beban kerja terhadap kreativitas guru. Melalui penelitian ini tampak bahwa work-life balance yang tinggi mampu melemahkan dampak beban kerja terhadap penurunan kreativitas guru dalam mengembangkan pembelajaran. Implikasi penelitian ini yaitu (1) bagi pemegang kebijakan agar mendesain beban kerja guru sedemikian sehingga guru tidak terbebani dengan administrasi yang kompleks; (2) bagi para guru, disarankan agar mengembangkan strategi untuk menjaga work-life balance, seperti manajemen waktu, memiliki boundaries (batas-batas) yang jelas terkait pekerjaan, serta memiliki aktivitas pemulihan energi.
