Enhancing Faculty Organizational Commitment through Local Wisdom and Work Motivation: A Sustainable Development Perspective Using Optimization of Management Resource Strengthening and SITOREM

Abstract

This study investigates the interrelationship among tolerance, mutual cooperation, and religiosity, which are local wisdom variables, and work motivation within an organizational context, with the objective of elucidating their impact on faculty organizational commitment. The research employed the POP-SDM method to optimize the enhancement of organizational commitment among faculty members at the School of Health Sciences in Jakarta. The POP-SDM method commences with qualitative research followed by a quantitative approach. PLS-SEM analysis was utilized to examine the research model constellation and hypotheses, while SITOREM analysis was employed to identify optimal solutions for enhancing faculty organizational commitment. The results of the structural model analysis indicated a significant direct influence of work motivation, tolerance, and mutual cooperation on faculty organizational commitment. However, religiosity did not demonstrate a significant direct effect. These findings underscore the importance of factors such as work motivation, tolerance, and mutual cooperation in enhancing faculty organizational commitment. Furthermore, the structural model analysis results revealed significant direct effects of tolerance, mutual cooperation, and religiosity on faculty work motivation. Strategies to enhance faculty organizational commitment involve improving indicators of weakness: 1) from the organizational commitment variable: indicators of loyalty, sufficient income, and acceptance of values and norms; 2) from the work motivation variable: indicators of recognition for achievements, promotion, supervision, and work environment; and 3) from the mutual cooperation variable: indicators of concern for others. This research is anticipated to provide comprehensive and enduring insights into the development of a productive work environment in the School of Health Sciences.
