HUBUNGAN ANTARA BEBAN KERJA DENGAN STRES KERJA PADA KARYAWAN RADIO X DI MADIUN

Radio employees have greater demands and consequences, such as needing to learn technology and create exciting and exclusive shows, thus causing increased work to improve the quality of work. Work stress among radio employees arises due to work overload. This research aims to examine the relationship between workload and work stress among Radio X employees in Madiun. The method used in this research uses a quantitative approach to test the hypothesis. The measuring tools used are the work stress and workload scales to obtain research data. The sampling technique used in this research was total sampling, this was because the number of research subjects was only 80 people. Based on the hypothesis test (Ha) results, the significance value obtained is 0.000, which indicates a significant relationship. Meanwhile, the correlation coefficient value in this study was 0.781, which shows that the correlation between workload and work stress for Radio X employees in Madiun is very strong. This means that as the employee's workload increases, the level of work stress also increases; conversely if the workload decreases, the work stress experienced by the employee will also decrease. One of the main factors that contributes to high levels of work stress is workload that exceeds individual capacity. It is characterized by long hours, unrealistic performance targets, and limited resources required to complete tasks.
