PENGARUH PERUBAHAN POLA PERIODE KERJA PERUSAHAAN MINYAK DAN GAS PT. XYZ DI SUMATERA SELAMA MASA PANDEMI COVID-19 TERHADAP KINERJA KARYAWAN

Abstract

One of the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic experienced by PT. XYZ is a
change in the working period policy of its employees in an effort to prevent the
transmission of the Covid-19 virus. PT. XYZ itself is an oil and gas company in
Sumatra. The working period was originally 14 working days -14 holidays
(14:14) to 21 working days - 21 days off (21:21). This research was conducted to
determine the effect of working period (21:21) on employee performance
compared to the work period (14:14) used previously at PT. XYZ. Field research
through a qualitative approach is the method used in this research where the
data collection method is carried out through interviews with several employees and supervisors of the operational division as well as direct observations in the
field. The results found that in the work period of (21:21) work fatigue, work
errors, and stress levels increase higher when compared to the (14:14) work
period. PT. XYZ should immediately conduct an evaluation related to employee
comfort and safety in situations that require field workers to work in this (21:21)
pattern, so the company does not experience many losses due to a decrease in
the performance of its employees.
