Makna Kerja Dosen di PTS Kristen Sebagai Panggilan Hidup dari Tuhan
Abstract
The questions of where and how employees find meaning of work become critical and
important for every job. Employees, who find proper meaning of work, will tend to feel
more satisfied, engage actively, and become more productive. Researches on the
meaning of work and its effects on job have been widely published. However, those that
purposely examined the meaning of work by Christian lecturers are limited. Based on
Christian’s doctrine and tradition, it is believed that a work is a specific life calling
from God, not just a means for self-actualization, scientific development, or the
fulfillment of financial needs. This study aims to conduct a preliminary literature review
to construct the concept of meaning of work by lecturers in Christian’s higher education
institution. Finally, this study provides further research direction to find conceptual
model and implication of this phenomenon on lecturer’s performances, productivity
and life satisfaction
