Judul: Analisis Pengaruh Penerapan Quality of Work Life (QWL) terhadap Kepuasan Kerja Karyawan (Studi Kasus PT Antam (Persero), Tbk UBPN Maluku Utara)
Abstrak: Sumber daya manusia merupakan penggerak utama suatu perusahaan. Pencapaian tujuan perusahaan akan terwujud bila ditunjang oleh sumber daya manusia yang berkualitas. Karyawan sebagai sumber daya manusia yang dimiliki perusahaan adalah manusia yang mempunyai sifat kemanusiaan, perasaan dan kebutuhan yang beraneka ragam. Salah satu masalah pokok dalam manajemen sumber daya manusia adalah bagaimana mencari cara yang terbaik untuk mencapai kepuasan karyawan. Kepuasan kerja karyawan merupakan salah satu aspek penting yang perlu diperhatikan dalam usaha peningkatan kualitas sumber daya manusia suatu perusahaan, apabila kepuasan kerja karyawan terpenuhi, mereka akan cenderung memiliki motivasi untuk bekerja. Quality of Work Life (QWL) merupakan salah satu faktor yang berparan dalam meningkatkan kepuasan karyawan terhadap pekerjaannya. Penelitian ini bertujuan : (1) Menganalisis QWL di PT Antam, Tbk UBPN Maluku Utara, (2) Menganalisis pengaruh faktor-faktor QWL terhadap kepuasan kerja karyawan dan (3) Menganalisis faktor-faktor QWL mana saja yang harus ditingkatkan untuk mencapai kepuasan kerja karyawan. Jenis data yang digunakan adalah data primer dan sekunder. Alat analisis yang digunakan adalah analisis deskriptif dan regresi linier. Sampel dalam penelitian ini adalah karyawan PT Antam, Tbk UBPN Maluku Utara, dengan menggunakan teknik pengambilan sampel nonprobabilitas, yaitu dengan metode Quota Sampling. Hasil analisis regresi menyatakan bahwa QWL berpengaruh nyata terhadap kepuasan kerja karyawan. Model regresi yang terbentuk adalah Y = 6,335 + 0,564 X1 + 0,517 X7 + 0,790 X8 + 0,721 X9 dengan R2 sebesar 0,710. Hal ini diinterpretasikan bahwa variabel kepuasan kerja karyawan dapat dijelaskan oleh QWL sebesar 72,1%, sedangkan sisinya 27,9% dijelaskan oleh variabel lain diluar model.

Judul: Analisis Penerapan Quality of Work Life (QWL) Terhaadap Kepuasan Kerja dan Komitmen Karyawan.
Abstrak: Increased productivity needs being in line with the increase in employee performance. To be able to improve employee performance, companies must create working conditions that offer incentives for employees to satisfy them with the system running in the company. The purpose application of Quality of Work Life (QWL) in an enterprise is to improve employee satisfaction on the job. Employee job satisfaction is one important aspect to consider in efforts to improve the human resources quality of an enterprise. Employees who have high job satisfaction, will generally have a high commitment to the company. High employee commitment will give beneficial contribution to the company to increase productivity of both employees and companies. This study aims to analyze the effects of application of QWL on job satisfaction and employee commitment, to analyze the influence of job satisfaction on employee commitment and analyze the differences in levels of job satisfaction and commitment of employees by gender. The study is conducted by giving questionnaire to 120 employees SBU (Strategic Business Unit) 1 PT. PGN, which is present in three areas, namely Hosbun, Bogor and Banten. Hypothesis testing method using the model Structural Equation Model (SEM) with PLS. QWL measurement consists of 9 (nine) factors: adequate compensation, conflict resolution, communication, occupational health, job security, workplace safety, employee participation, career development, and pride (Cascio, 2006). Measurement of job satisfaction by using the method of the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). Factors that shape employee satisfaction in this study was restricted to 5 (five) factors, namely the employee, promotion, salary, supervision and co-workers (Luthans, 2006). The three components of employee commitment model and measurements was adopted from Meyer and Allen (1997) in Suhendi (2010) ie affective, continuance and normative commitment. The results of the analysis indicate that the application of QWL hypothesis has no effect on job satisfaction of employees. Application of QWL and job satisfaction significantly influence employee commitment. The better implementation of QWL and the higher levels of job satisfaction will increase employee commitment to the company. The research shows that there is no difference between job satisfaction and commitment of employees by gender.

Judul: Mitochondrial DNA Gene Organization and Phylogenetic Relationship of Naja siamensis
Abstrak: Naja siamensis is one of Asiatic cobra in the Family of Elapidae, known as a cryptic snake. It has many morphological variations that lead to misidentification. Misidentification can cause the wrong concept in developing antivenom types due to high snakebite cases occur in Thailand. Thus, an accurate species identification using a molecular approach is crucially required. Mitochondrial DNA has been used widely in snake molecular studies. These studies were aimed to determine the arrangement of the N. siamensis partial mitochondrial genes using reptile-oriented primers and to reveal the phylogenetic relationship among other species of Asian cobra. DNA extraction was carried out based on the standard DNA salting-out protocol and was conducted by bioinformatics analysis using BLASTn and MEGA 6 software. Gene annotation was performed against N. kaouthia complete genome. A total of 3121 bp of N. siamensis mtDNA genes were sequenced consisting of partial of six regions: 16S rRNA, ND1, tRNA-Ile, CRII region, tRNA-Leu, tRNA-Gln, and COI genes. The mtDNA gene organization of N. siamensis was predicted to has a similar pattern with the common Elapidae mtDNA gene organization. This study showed that there is a monophyletic form in Naja genus and N. kaouthia is the closest species with N. siamensis based on partial 16S rRNA and ND1 gene.
