Abstract

Workplace loneliness is a psychological issue with growing relevance, yet it
remains underexplored in Indonesia. This study examines how emotional and social
loneliness affect individual work performance in an Indonesian cultural context. Using a
quantitative approach, 72 active employees from various sectors completed a structured
online questionnaire. The instruments used were the Loneliness at Work Scale (LAWS) and
an adapted version of the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ). Data were
analysed using linear regression and Spearman correlation. Results indicate that both
emotional and social loneliness significantly and negatively influence work performance.
The higher the level of perceived loneliness, the lower the performance. These findings
highlight the need for Indonesian organisations to foster inclusive and socially supportive
work environments.
