Religiosity

Job Insecurity Work Stress

Picture 1. Conceptual Research Framework

This research uses three variables, there are dependent variable,
indepenent variable and moderator variable. Which are work stress as dependent

variable, job insecurity as independent variable, while religiosity as moderator

variable. Moderator variables according to Urbayatun and Widhiharso (2012)

determine the strenght of the role of independent variable to the dependent
variable. Mechanism of the relationship between variables in this study is the

role of job insecurity on work stress depends on religiosity of the individuals. If

the individual has a high religiosity then the role of job insecurity will be

reduced. Safaria (2011) stated that religious coping could take a role as the

moderator of job insecurity to work stress. Thus, based on that explanation which
has been described, this research aims to examine the role of religiosity as the a

moderator in relationship between job insecurity and work stress on forestry

sector employees.
