ABSTRACT
This study aims to prove ability the mediation effect of work stress on workload, work
condition, and loan collection performance. This is a descriptive quantitative with an
explanatory approach type of study. Samples are collected from Bank Mandiri CCR
Surabaya and consist of 121 people from a total of 157. Data analysis technique used was
path analysis technique. Results indicate that hypothesis are accepted and can mediate.
This means that high workload caused increased work stress and impacted on loan
collection performance decrease. Meanwhile good work environment condition caused
decreased work stress and impacted on increasing loan collection performance.
KEY WORDS
Work stress, workload, work condition, loan collection, performance.
Bank is financial business institution having duty to collect and distribute funds into
society by providing financial-related services and support society in improving living
standard. Many societies borrow bank fund from KPR, collateral free loan and credit card.
Credit allocation to consumer might involve risk including troubled credit, no obligation
settlement according to agreement either in terms of amount and time. In terms of banking
NPL ratio or troubled credit is credit risk measure serves as bank health level. If bank could
suppress Non Performing Loan ratio below 5% then it shall provide higher profit potential as
bank could reduce receivable reserve fund or write off. Lower receivable reserve impact on
higher bank profit and create better banking performance. The high NPL inseparable from
loan collection performance that has not been optimal, which resulted in the company must
be able to improve the performance of its employees.
Employee performance is work result or output, either in terms of quantity and quality
that employee attain in completing their work with full responsibility (Mangkunegara, 2014).
Employee role in company are crucial matter and required to develop. High employee
performance shall lead to impact from company and employee themselves. For employee
having excellent performance could provide reward for them amongst them increased salary,
opportunity to promotion into higher level and making such employee more expert and
experienced on their field. Low performance represents that such employee actually
incompetent for their field, causing such employee hard to promote into higher level, and
might cause such employee to resign or called employment termination. According to Griffin,
Hogan et al. (2010), employment termination is dangerous negative response for employee
and organization. Performance could be affected by several factors amongst them workload
and Work condition (Adityawarman, Sanim et al, 2016; Putra, 2013).
The higher consumer have receivable will increase the load of the collection division
employee who will have an impact on the high goal setting, limited working completion time
and less supporting environment. Almost entire employee feel stressed with such issues that
it could lead into stress due to workload and inability to complete work maximally could affect
performance and company achievement as well. Research carried out by Carayon and
Gurses (2005) stated that high workload could increase bad communication, collaboration
failure, work dissatisfaction, reduced employee performance and employee resignation from
company. It is similar with Astianto (2015) research mentioning that workload influence
toward employee performance. It suggests that workload have positive and negative

LITERATURE REVIEW
Role Stress or also called pressure at work refers to company employee role in facing
situation that represents three forms, role ambiguity, role conflict and pressure size at work
(role overload) (Wolfe & Snoek, 1962). It could be concluded that role stress is situation
where employee experiences emotional tension that would affect thinking process that duty
being performed would be perceived hard and result in less maximal result.
Work size is work measure certain organizational position/unit should shoulder and
multiplication between work volume and time norm according to Minister of Domestic Affair
Regulation Number 12 year 2008. It could be interpreted that workload is a number of
process or activity an employee must complete in certain period of time. When such
employee able to complete such work and could adapt against duty provided, than it shall
not be an workload and vice versa.

Condition
Workload and Work condition mediated by one mediating variable of work stress. Work
stress could emerge when discrepancy occur between individual ability and work demands,
and discrepancy between individual need with environmental fulfillment itself. Work stress
must be handled properly because employee tendency would feel frustrated, emotional and
290
RJOAS, 2(86), February 2019
uncomfortable at work, then it could trigger failure within organization because it can
interfere with each other in doing the task. According to Sasono (2004) Work stress could be
perceived as condition where individual experience duty or work that they could not
accomplish or beyond their capability. Work stress lead into work implementation and
employee performance.
Work stress Mediation toward Workload and Loan Collection Performance. Workload
is process or activity employee must complete in company within certain period of time.
Certain work that already becomes employee load must be completed to fulfill determined
target. Not entire employee could perform their work well as they differ on capability level, it
could cause stress and make employee not productive and lead into loan collection
performance decrease. One of stress source according to Doelhadi (1995) is hard and
urgent demanding situation. Research carried out by Saefullah (2017) provided empirical
evidence that workload and work stress simultaneously have significant influence toward
employee productivity.
H1: Work stress mediates influence workload toward loan collection performance.
Work stress Mediation toward Work condition and Loan collection performance. Work
environment condition is crucial matter for employee as it is directly related to their activity.
Company must consider work environment in order to create excellent work environment
and work condition that could provide comfort for employee to improve their performance.
Work environment condition is workplace condition both physical or inter-employee
relationship that could provide comfort and pleasure perception that could provide joy for
employee to work. Sedarmayanti (2011: 26) defined work environment condition as any
condition at around workplace that would affect employee either directly or indirectly.
Supported with suitable work condition, it expected to improve employee performance with
optimal result. Research conducted by Taiwo (2010) provided empirical evidence that
conducive and better work environment are factors causing employee productivity
improvement.
H2: Work stress mediates influence Work condition toward loan collection
performance.
METHODS OF RESEARCH
291
RJOAS, 2(86), February 2019
Data collected through survey using questionnaire adopted from previous research.
Upon data collected through questionnaire, editing performed to examine data quality.
Followed by process using coding and tabulation, or grouping of sub variable being
examined through scoring and rating to support submitted hypothesis. Path analysis
technique used in this research as data analysis technique.
This research used data analysis technique using 5.0 PLS (Partial Least Square)
version of WarpPLS software. It is a structural equation analysis or Structural Equation
Model (SEM). In the first step, outer model (measurement model) test conducted to measure
reflective (manifest) and formative (causal) indicators. Reflective or manifest indicator is
based on loading factor. Loading factor > 0.70 is highly recommended, but 0.50 – 0.60
loading factor value still considered enough (Solimun, 2007: 15). Upon outer model test and
measurement completed, inner model measurement carried out. Inner model measurement
used to test relationship between variables in research using adjusted R2value (Sholihin,
2013: 72). Based on adjusted R2, a model could be classified as strong (≤ 0,70), moderate (≤
0.45) and weak (≤ 0.25).
Causal steps were used to test mediating variable analysis. It was developed by Baron
& Kenny (1986). Product of Coefficient method were also used for this analysis that was
developed by Sobel (1982). Sobel test carried out by testing indirect influence power of
independent variable (X) into dependent variable (Y) through mediating variable (Z). indirect
influence of X into Y through Z calculated by multiplying X-Z path (a) with Z-Y path (b) or ab.
Therefor ab coefficient = (c – c’) where c is X influence toward Y without controlling Y
through Z, meanwhile c’ is coefficient of X influence toward Y after controlling Z. standard
error of a and b coefficient written with Sa and Sb, that represents indirect effect standard
error calculated through the following formula (Ghozali, 2013).

Based on result from Table 1, entire proxy had outer loading factor value greater 0.5
from new iteration result. Therefore, it could be concluded that entire proxy were feasible to
be made as indicator that could reflect each related variables. From Table 1 result could also
be concluded that second iteration was iteration to determine indicators used as reflective
indicator for each variable.
Variables Validity and Reliability Test. Discriminant validity measurement result, AVE
value must be greater than 0.30 or having p-value lower than significance level (0.05). The
following Table 2 presents discriminant value of this research.
According to Table 2, entire variable had discriminant validity value greater than 0.50.
Therefore it could be concluded that entire variables were valid.
Upon variables declared valid, reliability testing carried out using composite reliability
technique. Reliability coefficient must be greater than 0.70. Composite reliability
measurement result is presented on Table 3.
According to Table 3, entire variables had composite reliability value greater than 0.70.
According to this result, it could be concluded that entire variables were valid and could be
relied to use in further analysis test.
Descriptive Analysis. Descriptive analysis is used to provide information about the
variables used in the study, among others: workload, work condition, work stress and loan
collection performance.
According to result on table 4, the average value in the overall workload variable (6
item questions) is 3.88 with a high category, this indicates that PT Bank Mandiri CCR
Surabaya has a relatively high workload. The average value in the overall work condition
variable (14 item questions) is 3.64 with the high category. That is, the billing department
employees owned by PT Bank Mandiri CCR Surabaya can be said that work conditions are
in a high classification. This means that work facilities and infrastructure meet the standards.
The average overall work stress variable (14 item questions) is 3.19 with the disagree
category. Showing that employees owned by PT Bank Mandiri CCR Surabaya can be said to
293
RJOAS, 2(86), February 2019
have moderate stress levels. The average variable of overall loan collection performance (10
item questions) is 3.92 with the high category; this indicates that PT Bank Mandiri CCR
Surabaya has a high loan collection performance.
Inner Model Test Result. Work stress mediating influence level on workload influence,
Work condition toward loan collection performance, measured using inner model test. Inner
model measurement serves to test work stress mediation on workload influence, Work
condition toward loan collection performance within research Q 2 value was used. Inner
model test result is presented on the following table 5.

According to result on table 7, it could be concluded that work stress could mediate
Work condition influence toward loan collection performance. It was based on p value
< 0.01, which means that work stress could mediate workload influence toward loan
collection performance at 1% significance level.
DISCUSSION OF RESULTS
Work stress as Workload Mediation toward Loan collection performance. This research
result suggested that work stress could mediate workload influence toward loan collection
performance. It means that high workload lead to increasing work stress and eventually
impact on loan collection performance decrease. Performance decrease at banking
institution especially on collection division could impact on high company NPL (Non
Performing Loan. Increasing workload caused by enormous work to complete and strongly
consume time to complete such work. High workload could drive employee stress work
stress caused by several factors specifically employee difficulty to rest. Difficulty to rest and
spend many energy to complete certain work. Increased employee work stress shall provide
impact on loan collection performance decrease. This research result was in line with
research carried out by Saefullah (2017) that provided evidence that workload and work
stress have significant influence toward employee productivity.
Work stress as Work condition Mediation toward Loan collection performance. This research
result stated that work stress could mediate work condition influence toward loan collection
performance. It means that good work environment condition causing decreasing work
stress and impact on increasing loan collection performance. Good environment condition
could be achieved from work facilities and infrastructures that meet standard from air
circulation, exposure level and without exception colleague relationship. Facilities and
infrastructures fulfillment could provide impact on decreasing employee work stress level.
Decreased work stress could simplify employee to complete work and shall provide good
result, that it could increase loan collection performance. This research result was in line with
research conducted by Taiwo (2010) that provided empirical evidence that conducive and
better work environment are factors causing employee productivity enhancement.
CONCLUSION
This research examined work stress mediating effect on workload, Work condition and
loan collection performance. The following are conclusion of this research: (1) research
result showed that stress could mediate workload influence toward loan collection
performance. It suggests that high workload causing increased work stress and eventually
impact on loan collection performance decrease. (2) Research also showed that work stress
could mediate Work condition influence toward loan collection performance. It suggests that
good Work condition causing reduced work stress and impact on increasing loan collection
performance.
