Abstract

This study aimed to examine the confirmatory factor structure of energy at work among employees in the mass communication industry. The sample consisted of 150 employees working in the mass communication industry. The research instrument was a questionnaire developed based on a four-dimensional framework of energy at work, including physical energy, emotional energy, mental energy, and spiritual energy. Data were analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) through the JAMOVI statistical software.


The research results showed that the modified measurement model was consistent with the empirical data, with  = 313, p = .103; /df = 1.106; RMSEA = .027; SRMR = .045; CFI = .990; TLI = .988; NFI = .908; and IFI = .990. The energy at work of employees in the mass communication industry consisted of four components: physical energy (.858), emotional energy (.831), mental energy (.917), and spiritual energy (.942). All components were significantly interrelated, with spiritual energy exhibiting the highest factor loading. These findings highlighted the critical role of meaning in work, purpose, and inner values in driving employees’ energy at work. The results contribute to the theoretical understanding of energy at work as a dynamic psychological resource and provide practical implications for human resource development in the mass communication industry.
