Relationship of Prosocial Behavior to Work Engagement in Female Volunteers in Indonesia
Abstract
This study aims to determine the relationship between prosocial behavior and work engagement among female volunteers. The sampling technique in this study was to use purposive sampling where the sampling was adjusted to the research objectives and predetermined characteristics. The number of respondents was 115 female volunteers aged 24 to 65 years who were cadres of Posyandu toddlers, elderly Posyandu, Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) and/or Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), coming from 11 districts in Indonesia. In addition, researchers used a convenience sampling technique in which research samples were taken according to the availability of respondents who met the criteria. The data analysis method used is simple regression analysis preceded by normality and linearity tests. The scale used is the prosocial behavior scale for adults and the work engagement scale (UWES version 1.1). The results showed that the R value in calculating the coefficient of determination was 0.561 (positive) which means that there is a positive and significant relationship between prosocial behavior and the engagement of women volunteers in 11 districts. The higher the prosocial behavior, the higher the engagement of female volunteers. The effective contribution of prosocial behavior to volunteer work engagement (R Square value) is 31.5% and 68.5% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study, so it can be concluded that there is a relationship between prosocial behavior and work engagement to female volunteers in 11 districts in Indonesia.
