“…Stress dapat ditimbulkan oleh beban kerja yang merupakan faktor intrinsik dalam suatu pekerjaan (Munandar, 2014). Greenwood et al (2004) menyimpulkan bahwa beban kerja berpengaruh terhadap kinerja, beban kerja berpengaruh pada durasi tugas, modalitas sensorik dan juga berkaitan dengan stress.…”

The purpose of this study was to determine directly or indirectly the effect of workload and WFC on employee performance through organizational commitment as an intervening variable at the village empowerment office of Bondowoso Regency. The number of samples in this study was 110 using the Nonprobability Sampling Technique. The analysis technique used is Structural Equation Model (SEM) using SmartPLS 3.2.8. The main finding of this study is to examine the coefficients of direct and indirect paths to improve employee work through the WFC workload variables, organizational commitment and employee performance. The results showed that workload had no significant effect on organizational commitment. Work-family conflict has a significant effect on organizational commitment. Workload, WFC, and organizational commitment have a significant impact on performance. Workload has no significant effect on employee performance when organizational commitment is an intervening variable. WFC positively affects employee performance through organizational commitment as an intervening variable. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that employees already have a clear division of duties so that there is no excessive workload and that employees have organizational commitment so that productivity and work performance increase. Keywords: Workload, Work Family Conflict, Employee Performance and Employee Commitment

Considerable debate exists among police and military professionals regarding the differences between conventional configuration weapons, where the magazine and action are located ahead of the trigger, and bullpup configuration, where they are located behind the trigger (closer to the user). To date, no published research has attempted to evaluate this question from a physical ergonomics standpoint, and the knowledge that one style might improve stability, reduce fatigue, or result in superior performance is of interest to countless military, law enforcement, and industry experts. In this study, a live-fire evaluation of both weapon styles was performed using a total of 48 participants. Shooting accuracy and fluctuations in biomechanical stability (center of pressure) were monitored while subjects used the weapons to perform standard drills. The bullpup weapon designs were found to provide a significant advantage in both respects, even while subjects showed considerable preference toward the conventional weapons. Although many mechanical and maintenance issues must be considered before committing to either platform, it is clear in terms of basic human stability that the bullpup is the more advantageous configuration.

This study is an investigation into whether briefing information, which was heard prior to seeing a firearms incident in a firearms training simulator, affected British police officers' decisions to shoot, as measured by their shooting behavior. Police authorized firearms officers (AFOs) heard either threat or neutral briefing information and then saw a "shoot" (suspect shot at AFO) or "no-shoot" (suspect surrendered without shooting) scenario. AFOs were tested in one of four conditions: threat briefing with shoot scenario, threat briefing with no-shoot scenario, neutral briefing with shoot scenario, or neutral briefing with no-shoot scenario. A postevent questionnaire and the General Decision Making Style (GDMS) questionnaire were completed by the AFOs. Those who had heard the neutral briefing felt more surprised when they saw the suspects than did those who had heard the threat briefing, regardless of which scenario they had seen. However, the briefing type did not affect the time taken to draw and aim the gun at the screen. No shots were fired in the no-shoot scenario, regardless of which briefing the AFOs had received. Differences in preferred decision style were not related to shooting decisions. The results suggest that the briefing information did not influence the AFOs' decisions to shoot, but they attended to cues in the scenario (not identified) and responded accordingly.
