Workforce Agility (WFA) is crucial for startup companies, particularly in unexpected situations. Research shows that WFA significantly contributes to an organizations ability to thrive amidst uncertainty and competitive challenges. WFA can be influenced by both internal and external factors. In this study, psychological empowerment (PE) and emotional intelligence (EI) are represented the internal factors, while job autonomy (JA) served as the external factor. This research aims to explore the relationships between PE and EI on WFA with JA as grouping variable. A quantitative approach was utilized, involving 180 employees from various startups. Multiple regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationships between PE, EI, and WFA, categorized into three levels of JA. The results indicated that PE and EI simultaneously have a significant positive impact on WFA. The model explained 52% of the variance (R² = 0.52, F=93.8, p< 0.01). The study concluded that enhancing PE and EI among startup employees can improve their WFA. However, when JA levels segmented participants, only those in the low and medium JA groups exhibited a relationship between PE and EI on WFA. Thus, PE and EI can only increase WFA in subjects with low and medium level of JA.

Conclusion

This research demonstrates that psychological empowerment and emotional intelligence play a role in workforce agility among startup employees.However, this positive influence is primarily observed in employees with low to medium levels of job autonomy.Therefore, enhancing psychological empowerment and emotional intelligence is crucial for improving workforce agility, particularly when job autonomy is limited.

Future Research

Berdasarkan temuan penelitian ini, beberapa saran penelitian lanjutan dapat diajukan. Pertama, penelitian lebih lanjut dapat dilakukan untuk menginvestigasi faktor-faktor lain yang dapat meningkatkan workforce agility pada karyawan startup dengan tingkat job autonomy yang tinggi, seperti kemampuan berpikir strategis, kepemimpinan adaptif, atau kemampuan memprediksi tren pasar. Kedua, penelitian dapat difokuskan pada pengembangan intervensi yang bertujuan untuk meningkatkan psychological empowerment dan emotional intelligence secara spesifik pada karyawan startup, dengan mempertimbangkan karakteristik unik dari lingkungan kerja startup yang dinamis dan penuh tekanan. Ketiga, penelitian kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk menggali lebih dalam pengalaman dan persepsi karyawan startup terkait dengan workforce agility, psychological empowerment, emotional intelligence, dan job autonomy, sehingga dapat memberikan pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif tentang bagaimana faktor-faktor ini saling berinteraksi dan mempengaruhi kinerja karyawan dan organisasi secara keseluruhan. Penelitian-penelitian ini diharapkan dapat memberikan kontribusi signifikan dalam pengembangan strategi dan praktik manajemen sumber daya manusia yang efektif untuk meningkatkan workforce agility dan keberhasilan startup di Indonesia.
