Kepuasan hidup memegang peranan penting dalam kualitas dan kinerja seseorang dalam profesi apapun, termasuk guru. Guru adalah pendidik profesional dengan tugas utama mendidik, mengajar, membimbing, mengarahkan, melatih, menilai, dan mengevaluasi peserta didik. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode survey kuantitatif dengan tujuan untuk menganalisis keterkaitan antara faktor demografi terhadap kepuasan hidup guru di Palopo dan Toraja. Berdasarkan hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan skala SWLS (Satisfaction W ith Life Scale) didapatkan data bahwa dari 111 orang guru yang menjadi partisipan, 67,6% guru merasa puas akan hidupnya. Berdasarkan analisa tabulasi silang, diketahui bahwa perbedaan faktor demografis di antara responden memiliki keterkaitan yang unik dengan kepuasan hidup para guru tersebut. Hasil penelitian dengan menggunakan korelasi non parametrik ordinal kendall tau dan koefisien Asosiasi Cramer's V juga menunjukkan bahwa faktor demografis seperti jenis kelamin, status kepegawaian, suku bangsa, lama bekerja, persepsi besarnya pendapatan, persepsi perbandingan gaji, memiliki keterkaitan yang signifikan dengan kepuasan hidup guru. Dengan analisis regresi ordinal, dapat disimpulkan pula bahwa faktor jenjang pendidikan, persepsi besarnya pendapatan, dan perbandingan gaji memiliki pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kepuasan hidup guru. Rekomendasi tindakan untuk meningkatkan kepuasan hidup guru perlu dipikirkan oleh pihak Pemerintah dan Yayasan dengan membuat rencana pengembangan karir guru yang berdampak bagi tingkat kesejahteraaan hidup mereka di masa depan.
Life satisfaction plays important role in employees’ work performance and is related to the internal factors of religiosity, perceived organizational support, and meaningful work. This research aims to investigate the influence of religiosity and perceived organizational support on life satisfaction through meaningful work as a mediator for 263 respondents from 118 organizations in Indonesia. This research found that a significant number of participants (71.86%) were satisfied with their life. The findings show that religiosity and perceived organizational support enhance their life satisfaction such that meaningful work is a partial mediator for these relationships. Organization leaders should maintain employees’ life satisfaction through religious activities and provide them with organizational support.
Many researchers make an error in data analysis, where researchers analyzing data using the raw score on the instrument with an ordinal scale. Error in the use of raw score for an instrument with an ordinal scale can be overcome by using measurement model testing, namely tau-equivalent and parallel. The purpose of this study is to examine the best measurement model of the Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS). The research method is Secondary Data Analysis approach (SDA). The secondary data was combined from two previous studies. The quantitative research analysis technique used to test the three measurement models in SWLS was confirmatory factor analysis. The unidimensional model of confirmatory factor analysis indicates that tau-equivalent is the best measurement model in SWLS testing (χ2(9)=13.759, p > .05 and RMSEA < .05). Based on the result, an implication measuring instruments using raw score can be used while measurement model testing of an instrument is tau-equivalent.
