THE EFFECT OF PSYCHOLOGICAL SAFETY AND TIME MANAGEMENT ON THE PRODUCTIVITY OF WORKING STUDENTS

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Psychological Safety and Time Management on the Productivity of Working Students. This research uses a quantitative method with a descriptive and associative approach, involving 100 respondents as the sample. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire using a Likert scale and analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 24. The results show that all research instruments are valid and reliable, with Corrected Item-Total Correlation values above 0.30 and Cronbach’s Alpha values of 0.830 for Psychological Safety, 0.855 for Time Management, and 0.884 for Productivity. The classical assumption tests indicate that the data are not perfectly normally distributed based on the Kolmogorov–Smirnov test, but meet other assumptions such as linearity and absence of multicollinearity. The multiple linear regression analysis shows that Psychological Safety and Time Management simultaneously have a significant effect on the Productivity of Working Students (p < 0.05). Partially, Time Management has a positive and significant effect (p = 0.000), while Psychological Safety does not have a significant effect (p = 0.665). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.991) indicates that 99.1% of the variation in Productivity of Working Students is explained by these variables. In conclusion, Time Management has a dominant influence on productivity, while Psychological Safety does not significantly affect the productivity of working students, although both variables simultaneously have a significant effect.
