Abstract

Nowadays, climate change and other forms of environmental degradation area among defining challenges at present. Moreover, these several things are not only experienced in Indonesia, as well as other countries experiencing the same problem. To overcome the existing problems, of course, there needs to be joint synergies from all elements of society and the government to answer them. Greeneration Foundation (GF) as a a member of Indonesian Philanthropy aims to advance philanthropy and contribute to the goals of social justice and sustainable development in Indonesia. In 2022, the Greeneration Foundation is rearranging and consolidating its business foundations, product research and development, and business ideas based on funding sources coming from the individuals themselves. Furthermore, this changing of organization foundations doesn’t mean it doesn’t cause problems for the employee at Greeneration Foundation. Meanwhile, in undergoing these changes not all individual organizations are able to adapt or cope with the changes made, so of course there are impacts felt by individuals such as tension or stress. Therefore, the authors conducted research related to the correlation of work stress and organizational changes carried out by the Greeneration Foundation to serve as evaluation material for the Greeneration Foundation. This research was conducted on Greeneration Foundation employees with the aim of knowing the correlation between work stress and organizational changes faced by employees at Greeneration Foundation. In this study the authors collected data using a questionnaire with a total sample of 30 respondents and used a type of sample that is saturated sample. The data analysis technique used is quantitative analysis with the linear regression method using the help of the IBM SPSS Statistics program. Based on the results of the research conducted, it shows a level of work stress of 59.0% and organizational change of 68.0% which is in a fairly high category. Based on the following results, work stress and organizational change have a positive and significant correlation with a correlation value of 63.9%. Based on this research, the high level of work stress certainly has the potential to become even higher if proper management is not carried out, especially in the individual and organizational aspects. So that the Greeneration Foundation needs to manage the stress level of employees in order to accelerate organizational changes.
