Abstract


Abstract: This study aims to examine the influence of strategic efficiency, strategic leadership, and organizational culture on employee welfare through a strategic approach literature review In an era of increasingly complex global competition, organizations are required not only to achieve efficiency in resource utilization but also to ensure employee well-being as a strategic asset that determines sustainability. Strategic efficiency is understood as an organization's ability to optimally allocate and utilize resources to support long-term goals, which in practice can increase productivity while creating a more structured work environment. However, excessive efficiency pressures have the potential to lead to burnout, making balance a key factor. Strategic leadership has emerged as a key catalyst connecting organizational agendas with individual well-being. Empathetic, communicative, and visionary leaders have been shown to create a positive psychological climate, increase intrinsic motivation, and strengthen employee engagement. Meanwhile, organizational culture serves as a foundation that determines the effectiveness of policies and leadership. An inclusive, collaborative, and supportive culturework-life balancehas been shown to strengthen job satisfaction, mental health, and psychological safety. The results of the literature synthesis indicate that the three independent variables have a positive and complementary influence in shaping employee well-being. This research contributes both theoretically, clarifying the relationship between strategic variables and well-being, and practically, providing guidance for organizations in designing policies that are both efficiency- oriented and human-centered. Thus, employee well-being can be viewed as a strategic investment that supports productivity, talent retention, and organizational sustainability.

Keywords: Strategic Efficiency, Strategic Leadership, Organizational Culture, Employee Welfare

Abstrak: Studi ini bertujuan untuk meneliti pengaruh efisiensi strategis, kepemimpinan strategis, dan budaya organisasi terhadap kesejahteraan karyawan melalui tinjauan literatur pendekatan strategis. Di era persaingan global yang semakin kompleks, organisasi dituntut tidak hanya untuk mencapai efisiensi dalam pemanfaatan sumber daya tetapi juga untuk memastikan kesejahteraan karyawan sebagai aset strategis yang menentukan keberlanjutan. Efisiensi strategis dipahami sebagai kemampuan organisasi untuk mengalokasikan dan memanfaatkan sumber daya secara optimal untuk mendukung tujuan jangka panjang, yang dalam praktiknya dapat meningkatkan produktivitas sekaligus menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang lebih terstruktur. Namun, tekanan efisiensi yang berlebihan berpotensi menyebabkan kelelahan (burnout), sehingga keseimbangan menjadi faktor kunci. Kepemimpinan strategis telah muncul sebagai katalis utama yang menghubungkan agenda organisasi dengan kesejahteraan individu. Pemimpin yang empatik, komunikatif, dan visioner telah terbukti menciptakan iklim psikologis yang positif, meningkatkan motivasi intrinsik, dan memperkuat keterlibatan karyawan. Sementara itu, budaya organisasi berfungsi sebagai fondasi yang menentukan efektivitas kebijakan dan kepemimpinan. Budaya inklusif, kolaboratif, dan suportif—keseimbangan kerja-hidup—telah terbukti memperkuat kepuasan kerja, kesehatan mental, dan keamanan psikologis. Hasil sintesis literatur menunjukkan bahwa ketiga variabel independen tersebut memiliki pengaruh positif dan saling melengkapi dalam membentuk kesejahteraan karyawan. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi baik secara teoritis, dengan mengklarifikasi hubungan antara variabel strategis dan kesejahteraan, maupun secara praktis, dengan memberikan panduan bagi organisasi dalam merancang kebijakan yang berorientasi pada efisiensi dan berpusat pada manusia. Dengan demikian, kesejahteraan karyawan dapat dilihat sebagai investasi strategis yang mendukung produktivitas, retensi talenta, dan keberlanjutan organisasi.
