Analysis of Dual Positions at PT. Metal Hitech Engineering

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that cause the occurrence of dual position practices at PT. Metal Hitech Engineering and its impact on employee workload and work effectiveness. The research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews and observations. The results of the study show that dual positions arise due to the inter-departmental function relationship and the company's consideration of the ability of employees who are considered capable of handling more than one task. The practice is applied on the basis of operational efficiency, but in its implementation it causes an increase in workload and the risk of employee fatigue. Although the quality of work can be maintained relatively through team coordination, delays in task completion still occur due to external obstacles and internal labor limitations. This finding confirms that dual positions need to be controlled so as not to have a negative impact on the effectiveness of work and the sustainability of company operations.
