Abstract


Abstract. Working as a lecturer means a lot to women themselves, it can have a positive impact such as self-esteem, being more independent and able to support their life. There are several reasons that encourage someone to work as a lecturer, including getting a salary, and choosing a job with a certain level of education, flexible working time compared to other jobs. This study aims to examine the direct and indirect effects of main workload, family size, age, and education level on productivity through take home pay. The method used in achieving the research objectives is based on the characteristics of the population. The total population is 580, so a sample of 100 lecturers was drawn. Sampling at each university based on the level of further education. Sampling was done using a cluster method and stratified random sampling. In this study, estimating the amount of direct and indirect effects will be carried out by linear regression analysis in a simultaneous model (Structural Equation Model, SEM) using the AMOS program.
