The Relationship Between Perceived Supervisor Support and Job Flourishing Among Indonesian’s Employees

Abstract

Job flourishing refers to a condition in which employees experience a sense of meaning, positive functioning, and psychological energy in their work. Although employee well-being has received considerable attention, studies that specifically examine job flourishing, particularly in non-Western settings such as Indonesia, are still limited. Moreover, the role of perceived supervisor support in shaping job flourishing has not been widely explored. This study aims to investigate the relationship between perceived supervisor support and job flourishing among Indonesian employees. A quantitative design was applied, involving 260 employees from various organizational backgrounds. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected through an online questionnaire. The instruments used were the Flourishing at Work Scale-Short Form (FWS-SF) and the Supervisor Support Scale. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, assumption tests, Pearson correlation, and linear regression. The findings indicate a significant positive relationship between perceived supervisor support and job flourishing (r = 0.479, p < 0.05). Supervisor support accounts for 22.9% of the variance in job flourishing, suggesting that employees who perceive greater support from their supervisors tend to experience higher levels of well-being at work. These results provide additional evidence on the importance of supportive leadership in enhancing employee well-being, particularly within the Indonesian work context.
