Abstract
Internship activities in recent years are increasingly in demand by students. PT X Indonesia as one of the best e-commerce companies in Indonesia also participates in providing various internship programs for college students. Students who take part in internships in a company still have their responsibility as students on campus. However, many students are unable to manage their time and find it difficult to prioritize the division of their assignments, resulting in unorganized coursework and messy work at the internship. If the time management between lecture activities and internship is not balanced, students will feel prolonged stress called burnout. To prevent this, the author and PT X discussed holding activities in the form of online seminars that could discuss this phenomenon with students who might be experiencing or interested in the phenomenon of work-life balance and time management. This discussion and sharing of experiences was carried out with college students in Indonesia through a webinar facilitated by one of the student organizations in Indonesia. The source of the presentation material used in this webinar session comes from research journals that discuss student work-life balance and its factors and impacts. The results of this webinar activity were obtained through participant feedback regarding their satisfaction with the material and its presentation. It can be concluded that this webinar helps participants to understand time management between lectures and internships, work-life balance, and burnout.
Kegiatan magang pada beberapa tahun belakangan ini semakin banyak diminati oleh
mahasiswa. PT X Indonesia sebagai salah satu perusahaan e-commerce terbaik di Indonesia pun ikut berpartisipasi dalam menyediakan berbagai program magang untuk mahasiswa. Mahasiswa yang mengikuti kegiatan magang di suatu perusahaan tetap harus menjalankan kewajibannya sebagai mahasiswa di kampus. Akan tetapi, banyak mahasiswa yang tidak dapat mengelola waktu dan kesulitan dalam menentukan prioritas pembagian tugasnya sehingga berakibat pada tugas-tugas kuliah yang tidak beres dan pekerjaan di tempat magang menjadi berantakan. Apabila pengelolaan waktu antara kegiatan perkuliahan dengan pekerjaan tidak seimbang maka mahasiswa akan merasakan stres berkepanjangan atau burnout. Untuk mencegah hal tersebut, penulis dan pihak PT X berdiskusi untuk mengadakan kegiatan berbentuk seminar daring yang dapat membahas fenomena ini sekaligus menjadi forum diskusi dengan mahasiswa yang mungkin sedang mengalami atau tertarik dengan fenomena work-life balance dan pengelolaan waktu. Kegiatan diskusi dan berbagi pengalaman ini dilakukan bersama mahasiswa di Indonesia melalui webinar yang fasilitasi oleh salah satu organisasi mahasiswa di Indonesia. Sumber materi presentasi yang digunakan pada sesi webinar ini berasal dari jurnal penelitian yang membahas work-life balance mahasiswa beserta faktor dan dampaknya. Hasil dari kegiatan webinar ini didapatkan melalui feedback peserta mengenai kepuasan mereka terhadap materi dan pembawaannya yang dapat disimpulkan bahwa webinar ini membantu para peserta untuk memahami pengelolaan waktu antara kuliah dan magang, work-life balance, dan burnout.
