Abstract

Quality of Work Life (QWL) encompasses factors that shape employee satisfaction, well-being, and happiness in the workplace. This study examines the relationship between quality of work life and humor types in the workplace, with compassion as a moderating variable. Humor is conceptualized as verbal and non-verbal communication that elicits cognitive or affective responses, while compassion reflects sensitivity to the suffering of others, coupled with a desire to alleviate it. The sample consisted of 179 hospital nurses in the Jabodetabek area who completed questionnaires assessing the quality of work life, humor types, and compassion. Data analysis using SPSS 22 revealed that positive humor, such as self-enhancing and affiliative humor, was related to quality of work life, whereas negative humor, such as self-defeating and aggressive humor, showed no significant relationship. Compassion moderated the relationship between positive humor and quality of work life. These findings highlight the importance of fostering compassion in hospital nurses to enhance their quality of work life.

Abstract

Job satisfaction is an important aspect of employee well-being and work motivation. However, maintaining job satisfaction has become increasingly challenging amid economic instability and widespread layoffs, which may increase employees’ job insecurity. This study examines perceived employability as a moderator in the relationship between job insecurity and job satisfaction among contract employees. Perceived employability refers to an individual’s ability to identify and utilize career opportunities. The study involved 121 Fixed-Term Employment Contract' (FTEC) employees.. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between job insecurity and job satisfaction (rs = -0.371, p < 0.05). Moderation analysis showed that perceived employability tended to weaken the relationship between job insecurity and job satisfaction, although the buffering effect was not fully statistically significant. Specifically, low perceived employability showed a significant negative correlation (rs = -0.227, p < 0.1), whereas high perceived employability weakened the relationship and produced non-significant results (rs = -0.174, p > 0.05). These findings suggest that perceived employability may function as a psychological resource that helps reduce the negative impact of job insecurity under unstable employment conditions.
