Quality of Work Life Divorced Female Civil Servant Teacher

Abstract

The phenomenon of divorce among female civil servant teachers in various regions in Indonesia has increased, especially in the last 3 years. The impact of the divorce causes stress on the divorced female civil servant teachers. Divorced female civil servant teachers are required to adapt to all changes because of divorce as well as to maintain their work performance and productivity as civil servants. Although the impact of divorce can be positive because it releases the teacher from sources of stress that may be caused by the accumulated conflict of husband-and-wife relations, research shows that divorced female civil servants still need adjustment that takes time. During the adjustment process, female civil servant teachers continue to feel the effects of stress such as fatigue, emotional burden and burn out as the result of the changes that occur. This will allow the appearance of absenteeism, late work, and other problematic behaviours at work. Quality of Work Life (QWL) as an effort from the Government, namely the organization where female civil servant teachers work is needed so that the performance and work productivity of divorced civil servant female teachers can be maintained.
