Beyond Work-Life Balance: Negosiasi Keharmonisan Rumah Tangga Dosen dalam Menghadapi Tuntutan Akademik
Main Article Content
Abstract
Meningkatnya tuntutan tridharma perguruan tinggi menyebabkan dosen menghadapi tantangan dalam menjalankan peran profesional dan kehidupan keluarga secara bersamaan. Sebagian besar penelitian sebelumnya berfokus pada konsep work-life balance, sementara pengalaman dosen dalam membangun keharmonisan rumah tangga melalui proses negosiasi masih belum banyak dikaji. Penelitian ini bertujuan memahami pengalaman hidup dosen dalam menegosiasikan tuntutan akademik dan kehidupan keluarga untuk mempertahankan keharmonisan rumah tangga. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Delapan dosen tetap yang telah menikah dipilih secara purposive. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam semi terstruktur dan dianalisis mengikuti tahapan IPA. Hasil penelitian mengidentifikasi lima tema utama, yaitu memaknai profesi dosen sebagai bentuk pengabdian sekaligus tanggung jawab keluarga, membangun negosiasi waktu antara pekerjaan akademik dan kehidupan keluarga, memperkuat komunikasi sebagai mekanisme penyelesaian konflik, memaknai dukungan pasangan sebagai fondasi keberlangsungan karier akademik, serta membangun keharmonisan rumah tangga melalui adaptasi dan refleksi bersama. Penelitian menyimpulkan bahwa keharmonisan rumah tangga dosen tidak terbentuk melalui keseimbangan kerja dan kehidupan semata, tetapi melalui proses negosiasi yang berlangsung secara dinamis, adaptif, dan berkelanjutan dalam sistem keluarga. Temuan ini memperkaya kajian sosiologi keluarga dan memberikan implikasi bagi pengembangan kebijakan perguruan tinggi yang lebih ramah keluarga.
