The Covid-19 pandemic that emerged in early 2020 caused several changes in various aspects of life, one of which was work aspect. Changes to work system were made by a number of companies in order to minimize the spread of Covid-19. However, these changes were not as well made as expected, considering that several survey results showed that most employees felt more stressed than usual. This was partly due to the increased workload since the company implemented several adjustments such as work from home. Some small companies had even reduced employee income in response to the pandemic situation. This, of course, has become one concern for employees, in which there are some employees who are not ready to face this. This study aims to explore what factors that become sources of stress for employees during the Covid-19 pandemic as well as the coping performed in dealing with it. The approach used in this research was qualitative, specifically exploratory in order to obtain new findings based on the data obtained regarding pandemic situation. The data were collected by interviewing four employees and analyzed using thematic analysis technique. The result showed that the study participants felt mild to moderate stress. Most of the stress they felt resulted from their work. Furthermore, the participants performed coping to anticipate negative things they might experience during the pandemic.

Pandemi Covid-19 yang muncul pada awal tahun 2020 menimbulkan beberapa perubahan pada berbagai aspek kehidupan manusia, salah satunya pekerjaan. Perubahan terhadap sistem kerja dilakukan oleh sejumlah perusahaan dalam rangka meminimalisir penyebaran Covid-19. Namun demikian, perubahan tersebut tidak semulus yang diharapkan, mengingat beberapa hasil survey yang dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa sebagian besar karyawan merasa lebih stres dibandingkan biasanya. Hal ini salah satunya disebabkan oleh beban kerja yang meningkat karena perusahaan menerapkan beberapa penyesuaian seperti work from home. Beberapa perusahaan kecil bahkan melakukan pengurangan terhadap penghasilan karyawan sebagai reaksi terhadap situasi pandemi. Hal ini tentunya menjadi keresahan tersendiri bagi para karyawan, dimana tidak semua karyawan siap untuk menghadapi hal tersebut. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengeksplorasi faktor apa saja yang menjadi sumber stres bagi karyawan selama pandemi Covid-19 serta coping yang dilakukan dalam menghadapi hal tersebut. Pendekatan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini pendekatan kualitiatif, khususnya studi eksploratif guna memperoleh temuan baru berdasarkan data yang diperoleh terkait situasi pandemi. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan metode wawancara terhadap empat orang karyawan dan diolah dengan menggunakan teknik analisis tematik. Hasil yang diperoleh menunjukkan bahwa partisipan penelitian merasakan stres tingkat ringan hingga moderat. Adapun stres yang mereka rasakan sebagian besar bersumber dari pekerjaannya. Lebih lanjut, partisipan melakukan coping guna mengantisipasi hal-hal negatif yang mungkin dialaminya selama pandemi.Kata Kunci: Stres, coping, Covid-19
