Studi Kasus Makna Kepuasan Kerja Karyawan Wanita Status Kontrak Di Konveksi X

This study aims to explore the meaning of job satisfaction from the perspective of female employees with contract status at Convection X. The study employed a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews with female employees who had more than three years of work experience, direct observation, and supporting documentation. The thematic analysis based on Miles and Huberman identified four main themes: job satisfaction as the result of adaptation to work, interpersonal relationships as the primary source of satisfaction, organizational limitations as a source of dissatisfaction, and work as a means of fulfilling life needs and family responsibilities. The findings indicate that job satisfaction is formed through employees’ evaluation of their work experiences, particularly regarding the job itself, relationships with colleagues and supervisors, compensation, and career development opportunities. These findings suggest that job satisfaction is influenced not only by organizational conditions but also by employees’ work experiences and the meaning they attach to their work.
