ABSTRACT:

In my previous thesis research, the author used eight resource people from various workplaces to examine the phenomena of flexible working hours in the world of work for journalists under the title "Analysis of the Management of Flexible Working Hours of Online Media Journalists in Malang City." Flexible working hours have had both positive and negative effects on performance, workload, and self-efficacy, according to certain interviewee responses. The author's latest research, Freelancer, aims to outline some of the issues that have recently arisen as more and more people feel at ease working as freelancers across a range of professions. Submitted by katadata.co.id on May 6, 2022 According to the Indonesian Employers Association (Apindo), the COVID-19 epidemic has caused layoffs that have impacted 30% of the workforce. The number of people who lost their jobs across the country is almost thought to have reached 15 million. Even if the term "freelance" is not new, this freelancer is a short-term refuge for workers who are being laid off or are affected by layoffs and can exist by becoming independent contractors. The author's decision to address numerous issues and the reasons why some Freelancers are beginning to feel at ease working in accordance with goals and reducing their desire to sit in the office is due to the changes and interests of the workforce that have occurred widely in Indonesia.
