ABSTRAK
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh workplace ostracism
terhadap employee work engagement dengan workplace belongingness sebagai
variabel mediasi dan intrinsic motivation sebagai variabel moderasi. Penelitian
dilakukan pada pegawai kontrak di sektor pemerintahan daerah Kota Banda Aceh.
Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dengan pendekatan Structural Equation
Modeling (SEM) berbasis Partial Least Square (PLS). Hasil penelitian
menunjukkan bahwa workplace ostracism berpengaruh negatif terhadap employee
work engagement. Workplace belongingness terbukti memediasi hubungan antara
workplace ostracism dan employee work engagement, sedangkan intrinsic
motivation memoderasi hubungan antara workplace belongingness dan employee
work engagement. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa rasa memiliki di tempat
kerja dan motivasi intrinsik dapat mengurangi dampak negatif pengucilan
terhadap keterlibatan kerja karyawan. Penelitian ini memberikan implikasi praktis
bagi sektor pemerintahan dalam menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang inklusif dan
mendukung, serta pentingnya pengembangan motivasi intrinsik untuk
meningkatkan keterikatan kerja pegawai kontrak.

ABSTRACT This study aims to examine the effect of workplace ostracism on employee work engagement, with workplace belongingness as a mediating variable and intrinsic motivation as a moderating variable. The research was conducted on contract employees in the local government sector of Banda Aceh City. A quantitative method with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Square (PLS) was employed. The results indicate that workplace ostracism negatively affects employee work engagement. Workplace belongingness mediates the relationship between workplace ostracism and employee work engagement, while intrinsic motivation moderates the relationship between workplace belongingness and employee work engagement. These findings suggest that a sense of belonging in the workplace and intrinsic motivation can reduce the negative impact of ostracism on employee engagement. This study provides practical implications for local government institutions in fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment, and highlights the importance of enhancing intrinsic motivation to improve employee engagement among contract workers.
