Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of hybrid work and work stress on job satisfaction and examine the role of job security as a moderating variable among employees of the Human Resources Department of Bank Indonesia. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. The research sample consisted of 154 respondents selected using a cluster random sampling technique. Primary data were collected through questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method using SmartPLS 3.2.9. The results showed that hybrid work had a positive effect on job satisfaction, while work stress had a negative effect on job satisfaction. In addition, job security was proven to moderate the effect of hybrid work on job satisfaction by strengthening the positive relationship and moderating the effect of work stress on job satisfaction by weakening the negative impact of work stress. These findings indicate that the implementation of a hybrid work system supported by a high level of job security can increase employee job satisfaction, while effective work stress management contributes to maintaining job satisfaction. Therefore, organizations need to optimize the implementation of hybrid work, manage work stress effectively, and strengthen the perception of job security to improve employee job satisfaction.
