Abstract

This study investigates the complex relationship between work patterns, physical activity, and physiological indicators specifically resting heart rate and blood pressure with the psychological well-being of female office workers at Tritunggal Christian School Semarang. Given the high administrative demands often faced by female workers, this research utilized a quantitative approach with a total sampling method (N=78). Well-being was measured using the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), and data were analyzed through Spearman's Rank correlation. The statistical results revealed that all null hypotheses were accepted (p > 0.05): Work Pattern (p=0.290; ρ=-0.150), Physical Activity (p=0.697; ρ=0.045), Resting Heart Rate (p=0.783; ρ=0.031), and Blood Pressure (p=0.661; ρ=0.045). These findings suggest that physiological and behavioral factors are not direct predictors of well-being in this specific community. The lack of significance is largely attributed to the "restriction of range" in physiological data and the dominant role of Christian spirituality and social support as a "super buffer" (Colossians 3:23 and 2 Timothy 1:7). This spiritual foundation effectively maintains well-being stability by framing work as a divine calling, regardless of job demands. Consequently, this research recommends prioritizing internal psychological and spiritual resources for future employee well-being interventions.
