CONFIRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS OF JOB SATISFACTION

Abstract

Every job creates satisfaction with the work done to get maximum results. This research aims to analyze the factors that influence job satisfaction, as well as find dimensions and indicators that can shape job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is measured by the dimensions of the work itself, salary, promotion, supervisor, and co-workers. The population in this research were junior high school teachers in Purwokerto, with a total of 327 teachers. The sample of this research was 90 teachers. The sampling technique in this research used accidental sampling. The data collection method is the job satisfaction scale. The research data were analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through SmartPLS program 3.2.8. The analysis results show that the dimensions and indicators that make up the job satisfaction construct are valid and reliable. The dominant dimension reflecting the construction of job satisfaction is co-workers, with a loading factor of 0.814. The lowest dimension reflecting the construct is the supervisor, with a loading factor of 0.766. Thus, all aspects and indicators can reflect and form a job satisfaction construct, as well as a measurement model that can be accepted because the theory that describes job satisfaction corresponds to empirical data obtained from the subject.
