The Relationship Between Personality Type to Work-Related Stress at PT Bumi Suksesindo Maintenance Workshop, Indonesia: A Cross-Sectional Study

Every worker has a different personality type, which is one of the factors influencing how workers cope with their jobs to avoid stress. Objective: This study aims to analyze the relationship between personality type and work-related stress among maintenance workshop workers at PT Bumi Suksesindo. This study employed a cross-sectional approach with a sample size of 50 maintenance workshop workers. It utilized Personality Type A and B questionnaires based on the theory by Rosenman & Friedman (1961) and the Job Stress Scale questionnaire. Validity testing was conducted using the Pearson Product Moment correlation table with a sample of 30 participants; at a significance level of 0.05, the value was 0.3610, indicating the instrument is valid. Reliability testing yielded Cronbach’s Alpha values of 0.886 and 0.929, confirming the instrument’s reliability. This study employed the non-parametric chi-square statistical test to determine whether a relationship exists between the independent variables and the dependent variable. The study found a p-value of 0.005, indicating a significant relationship between personality type and work-related stress among workers in the maintenance workshop. Personality type is significantly associated with work-related stress. Therefore, the company may organize group exercises or other activities to alleviate worker burnout.
