Abstract

This study investigates the challenges construction sector companies face due to market disruptions and the lack of innovation, with a specific focus on PT Wijaya Karya (WIKA), a leading Indonesian construction firm. Drawing on Kodak's failure as a cautionary example of the risks of neglecting technological advancements, the research underscores the critical need for companies to remain adaptable and ready to innovate to address evolving customer demands. In response to a significant financial loss of IDR 7.13 trillion in 2023, WIKA implemented cost-saving measures, including workforce restructuring and halting recruitment. Despite these setbacks, the company showcased resilience by initiating innovative projects, such as electric motorcycles and precast concrete technologies, contributing to its recovery. The research emphasizes WIKA's initiatives to cultivate employee readiness for change through programs like Wikasatrian and technology skills development. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative approach, the study surveyed 233 managers and directors from government-owned construction firms (BUMN), employing instruments to measure readiness for change, psychological capital, and job security. Data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) confirmed that psychological capital plays a critical mediating role between job security and readiness to change. Findings reveal that job security significantly impacts readiness to change, with psychological capital acting as a strong mediator. The study highlights the importance of investing in psychological resources to foster adaptability, particularly in sectors undergoing technological and organizational transformations. The model demonstrated strong validity, with fit indices including GFI (0.90), CFI (0.98), TLI (0.97), NFI (0.97), and RMSEA (0.09), affirming its robustness and providing valuable insights into the public construction sector, an area often underexplored in previous research.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of work motivation on employee engagement with integrity as a mediating variable, as well as to examine its implications for the development of an anti-corruption culture among permanent employees of PT. KAI. The study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 224 permanent KAI employees. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the assistance of LISREL software. The results indicate that the structural model with integrity as a mediator meets the goodness-of-fit criteria. Work motivation does not have a direct effect on employee engagement, but it requires integrity as an ethical foundation. Furthermore, work motivation has a positive influence on integrity, which in turn strengthens employees’ attachment to their work. However, integrity alone does not have a direct impact on employee engagement and requires the support of motivational and organizational factors. These findings suggest that motivation without integrity may lead to opportunistic behavior. The combination of motivation and integrity fosters stronger, more productive, and ethically grounded employee engagement. Practically, this study highlights the importance of strengthening work motivation framed by integrity to build a sustainable anti-corruption culture within state-owned enterprises.
