Abstract. One of the determinants of a company's progress, both service and non-service, is the resources it has. The company or a business entity feels that the company's goals will not be achieved without quality resources. However, they often do not realize that companies only make employees or their resources tools/assets to achieve company goals, not as individuals who need recognition and appreciation. This study aimed to analyze How much influence the work environment and work stress have on employee performance at Arema Aremania Bersatu Berprestasi Indonesia Ltd. In this study, the independent variables are Work Stress (X1) and Work Environment (X2), while the dependent variable is Employee Performance (Y). This type of research is quantitative research analyzed using statistics. The number of samples obtained by using a saturated sample that makes the entire population of Arema Aremania Bersatu Berprestasi Indonesia Ltd. became a sample of 63 respondents. This Analysis uses multiple linear regression analysis. The results showed that Work Stress and Work Environment influence Employee Performance.

 

Keywords: work environment; work stress; employee performance.

 



INTRODUCTION

 

Managing an organization in a company, human resources become a significant and central factor. An organization inevitably needs resources to manage the systems it contains to achieve its goals. Suppose human resources are not competent in an organization and the performance is not optimal, of course. In that case, this becomes a competitive problem that can bring an organization or company into a loss condition. On the other hand, if the human resources in the organization are competent and have good performance, it will support the organization's success in its goals.

The work environment is a set of things or factors that can directly or indirectly affect an organization or a company that will positively or negatively impact the work results of employees (Baskara et al., 2008). The working environment can be in rooms, layouts, facilities and infrastructure, and working relationships with colleagues (Rachmawati et al., 2021). The work environment is where employees perform their daily work (S. S. I. Siagian & Khuzaini, 2015). A clean, pleasant working environment with neat, orderly, and circulating air, spacious rooms, and an environment that does not impede movement in the workplace can improve employee performance (Nawawi, 2005). The working environment plays a vital role in improving employees' work results (Kamarulzaman et al., 2011). If the working environment is comfortable and the communication between employees goes smoothly, work efficiency will indeed be maximized.

Job stress is an unpleasant psychological process that responds to environmental pressures (Robbins & Judge, 2015). Job stress is a feeling of pressure experienced by employees when facing work. This can be seen from unstable emotions, feelings of restlessness, and increased blood pressure Mangkunegara (2009). Job stress arises because of negative thoughts such as employees' feelings of excessive obligations, work, and working hours. Work stress needs to be prevented because it will cause various negative impacts such as decreased productivity and worse performance due to decreased creativity and health problems.

This study is an evolution of a previous study (Isnaini, 2015) titled the Effect of work environment and job stress on employee performance. The difference between current research and previous research is that the research object used was different from the previous one, namely the Arema Aremania Bersatu Berprestasi Indonesia Ltd employees. Meanwhile, this research uses work environment and work stress as independent variables and dependent variables on employee performance.�������

According to Darmawan (2013), performance is an effort to obtain the best results from organizations, groups, and individuals through understanding and explanation within a framework of planned goals, standards, and attributes or compensation requirements mutually agreed upon.

According to (A. O. Siagian, 2021), stress is a condition of tension that affects a person's emotions, thoughts, and physical condition ''meaning the employee concerned will face various negative symptoms, which affects his performance.

According to (Sedarmayanti 2011), the working environment is the set of tools and materials that predate his work both individually and collectively Sunyoto (2012) Working environment is everything around the employee. Actions that may affect them in performing tasks. Tasks assigned, such as cleaning, music, lighting, and others.

������� The hypothesis is that the statement is temporary, but the truth is still low, it is necessary to test the truth or doubt about the relationship between two or more variables (Siregar, 2013). The hypothesis is a temporary response to the research problem formulation so that the problem formulation is often arranged in the form of a statement. Based on the existing research concepts, the hypothesis that will be tested in this study can be formulated as follows:

H1: Work Stress and Work Environment affect the Performance of Employees of PT. Arema Aremania Indonesia Bersatu.

H2: Work stress affects the performance of employees of PT. Arema Aremania Indonesia Bersatu.

H3: Work environment affects the performance of employees of PT. Arema Aremania Indonesia Bersatu

 

MATERIALS AND METHODS

 

Design

This research attempts to find answers to a problem with existing problems using a scientific approach. Judging from the problems examined, this study included research. Descriptive Descriptive research is research that aims to describe existing phenomena. These phenomena can have forms, activities, characteristics, changes, relationships, similarities, and differences between one phenomenon and another.

Population and Sampling Techniques

1.   Population

The population in this study was all employees at Arema Aremania Bersatu Berprestasi Indonesia Ltd. The population in this study was employees at Arema Aremania Bersatu Berprestasi Indonesia Ltd., totaling 63 employees.

2.   Sample

The sampling technique used In this study, all members of the population were sampled or called saturated sampling. Saturated sampling is a sampling technique when all the population is sampled. This technique is usually used if the population is considered minor or less than 100 (Sugiyono, 2014). The sample used is all Arema Aremania Bersatu Berprestasi Indonesia Ltd. employees, totaling 63 employees.

Research Instruments

(Sugiyono, 2016) states that in social research whose instruments use a Likert scale, the data obtained are intervals. With a Likert scale, the variables are measured translated into variable indicators. Variable values ​​with some tools can be expressed numerically, making them more precise, efficient, and communicative.

Data Analysis Techniques

����������� The Analysis used in this study is quantitative data analysis, namely the Analysis carried out using statistical methods to determine the Effect of the work environment and work stress on employee performance. The Analysis used is Multiple Linear Regression, Classical Assumption Test, F-Test, and T-Test. Prior to the Analysis, the questionnaire will be measured as a data collection tool with validity and reliability tests.

a.   Classical assumption

1)  test Normality test Normality

The test's purpose is to determine if the data are typically distributed. Parametric Analysis such as regression requires the data to be normally distributed. Regression normality testing can use several methods: the standard probability curve (Priyatno, 2016). The decision is that if the data rotates around the diagonal and in the direction of the diagonal, then the regression model meets the normality assumption.

b.   Test Multicollinearity

Multicollinearity is a state where the two variables independent or more in regression models occur in a linear relationship with perfect or near-perfect test multikolinieritas aimed at assuming no relationship (correlation) was perfect between independent variables with each variable, independent Sarwoko (2018). One of the methods used to detect multicollinearity is by looking at the value of the variance inflation factor (VIF) of each independent variable. If the value is VIF > 5, there are symptoms of multicollinearity in the regression model.

3.   The heteroscedasticity Test

The heteroscedasticity test of the linear regression model aims to assume that the residual variance is constant or the same for various observations or the absence of heteroscedasticity in the regression model Sarwoko (2018). The decision-making in this test of variance is that if the points spread out with an ambiguous sample and are less than zero on the Y-axis, then in the regression model, there is no problem with variable variance.

 

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

 

RESULTS

The Characteristics of respondents

the author took 100% of the population at Arema Aremania Bersatu Berprestasi Indonesia Ltd. That is as many as 63 respondents to be used as a sample.

The results of the Analysis

a.   the normality test
