Abstract-The increasing amount of hotels in Bali may cause tougher competition among existing hotels. Human resources as organization activator will have an extra workload, such as increasing customer service quality and being an informal marketer. This situation can cause high mental workload felt by the staff. High mental workload is not always balanced by low job satisfaction, as with high mental workload can urge the staff to achieve higher performance and feel work satisfaction. Therefore, researcher wanted to intensively find out the relationship between mental workload and job satisfaction measured with scales designed by the researcher, interview and observation with 52 staff as samples. The result shows that there is a positive relationship between mental workload and job satisfaction (r = .688; p = 0.000). In other words, whenever mental workload is high, job satisfaction will also be high. Keywords: mental workload; job satisfactionAbstrak-Pertambahan jumlah hotel di Bali menyebabkan persaingan antar hotel yang ada semakin berat. SDM (sumber daya manusia) sebagai penggerak perusahaan pun tidak jarang akan menerima beban kerja tambahan, seperti meningkatkan kualitas layanan kepada para konsumen dan menjadi pemasar informal. Hal tersebut dapat memicu tingginya beban kerja mental (mental workload) yang dirasakan oleh karyawan. Mental workload yang tinggi tidak selalu diimbangi dengan rendahnya kepuasan kerja, karena dengan mental workload yang tinggi dapat memacu karyawan untuk bekerja lebih baik dan merasakan kepuasan kerja. Oleh karena itu peneliti ingin meneliti lebih intensif tentang hubungan mental workload dengan kepuasan kerja karyawan di hotel "X" Kerobokan, Bali. Mental workload dan kepuasan kerja diukur dengan skala yang disusun sendiri oleh peneliti, wawancara dan observasi dengan total sampel penelitian 52 orang karyawan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan ada hubungan yang positif antara mental workload dengan kepuasan kerja (r = .688; p = 0.000). Artinya, saat mental workload karyawan tinggi, kepuasan kerja yang dirasakan juga tinggi.Kata kunci: beban kerja mental; kepuasan kerja

Penggunaan fitur kamera pada smartphone dapat membawa dampak positif namun belum banyak dikaji secara empirik. Penelitian ini menguji efek therapeutic fotografi dalam menurunkan gejala kecemasan dan stres dengan menggunakan desain eksperimen. Dua puluh partisipan tergabung ke dalam dua studi yang dipisahkan atas kelompok kontrol dan kelompok yang menerima dua belas sesi terapi fotografi. Tingkat kecemasan dan stres diukur dengan menggunakan alat ukur DASS-42. Hasil analisis Wilcoxon signed rank test dan binary logistic regression menunjukkan sesi terapi fotografi terasosiasi dengan penurunan tingkat kecemasan dan stres pada kedua kelompok studi. Kajian terhadap rendahnya kendali variabel selama eksperimen menjadi faktor yang penting diperhatikan dalam penarikan simpulan efektivitas therapeutic fotografi.

This paper aims to revisit the theoretical concepts of Realistic Job Preview (RJP), as a human resource management approach to provide job candidates with information to better match the candidates’ expectations with therealities regarding the job. Further, the paper attempts to present several considerations and strategies in implementing RJP in the socialization, selection, and retention processes of recruitment. The theoretical reviewpresented shows that, when given properly and at the correct timing, RJP could increase job satisfaction, commitment, and performance while reducing turnover. This implies that the information shared through RJP could create a more realistic, deflated expectation about the job and the organization when presented using multiple formats
