Kajian Intervensi Konseling dalam Meningkatkan Kebahagiaan Karyawan di Tempat Kerja

Employee well-being is crucial for supporting organizational success, considering that both work related and personal stress can reduce productivity and damage workplace relationships. Workplace counseling has proven effective as an intervention to address these issues, enhancing employee productivity, satisfaction, and well-being across various organizational contexts. Numerous studies have shown that counseling can strengthen workplace relationships, reduce stress, and help employees adapt to professional challenges. The study by Mtana & Kepha (2022) employed a descriptive survey method, asking respondents to rate their level of agreement with various statements related to the influence of personal counseling on employee productivity in hotels. Although the specific steps of the counseling implementation were not detailed, the study refers to William Glasser’s Reality Therapy theory using the WDEP approach (Wants, Doing, Evaluation, Planning) as the basis for counseling interventions. This approach focuses on exploring desires, assessing the direction of actions, self-evaluation, and planning simple, measurable, and consistent actions to enhance employee well-being in the workplace. The findings of Mtana & Kepha (2022) indicate that career counseling improves employee work efficiency, motivational counseling helps achieve quality outcomes, personal counseling ensures timely task completion, and disciplinary counseling enhances productivity. Personal counseling has been shown to have a positive effect on employee productivity in the hospitality industry, particularly in Nairobi City County, Kenya. In addition to addressing psychological issues, counseling also serves as a preventive method to help employees recognize their potential and improve work performance. Organizations are advised to conduct regular assessments of employees’ mental health and well-being to ensure their resilience in various work situations.
