Work-Life Balance di Industri Konstruksi dan Pelajaran Untuk Indonesia: Tinjauan Literatur Sistematis

Sari

ABSTRAK

Adanya isu terhadap kesehatan mental pekerja di industri konstruksi, menjadikan Work-Life Balance (WLB) relevan dewasa ini. Karakteristik industri konstruksi Indonesia yang padat karya, membuat isu WLB menjadi penting untuk ditinjau karena masifnya keterlibatan manusia. Melalui tinjauan pustaka sistematis berdasarkan pedoman analisis bibliometrik, penelitian memberikan gambaran mengenai: perkembangan, tren, situasi dan peluang terkait WLB di industri konstruksi saat ini, baik di Indonesia maupun luar negeri. Hasilnya mengindikasikan bahwa fokus area WLB saat ini membahas mengenai hubungan dengan manajemen konstruksi, kesehatan mental, kesejahteraan pekerja, dan keberhasilan proyek atau perusahaan konstruksi. Praktik dominan negara maju seperti Australia dan Britania Raya adalah fleksibilitas dalam bekerja. Sementara Indonesia menghadapi hambatan dalam penerapan praktik WLB, seperti budaya jam kerja berlebih, kurangnya kepekaan manajemen, kurangnya bukti keberhasilan WLB, dan sulitnya manajemen melihat kebutuhan pekerja. Negara berkembang seperti Indonesia perlu membuat praktik WLB yang menstimulasi permintaan dan tantangan yang dihadapi karyawan terkait konflik WLB pekerja.

ABSTRACT

The issue of workers' mental health in the construction industry makes Work-Life Balance (WLB) relevant today. The characteristics of the Indonesia’s construction industry, which is labor-intensive, makes the issue of WLB important to review, due to the massive human involvement. Through a Systematic Literature Review based on bibliometric analysis, this research provides an overview of: research development, trends, situations and opportunities on WLB in the construction industry, both in Indonesia and abroad. The results indicate that the current focus areas of WLB address the relationship with construction management, workers' mental health, well-being, and the success of construction projects and companies. The dominant practice of WLB in developed countries such as Australia and United Kingdom is working flexibility. Meanwhile Indonesia faces a barrier to implementing WLB practices, such as culture excessive working hours, lack of management awareness, lack of evidence of WLB success, and difficulty for management to see the needs of workers on WLB conflict. Developing countries such as Indonesia need to create WLB practices that stimulate demand and challenges faced by employees regarding worker WLB conflicts.
