Abstract:
Work pressure among emerging adults in Jakarta, as in many other metropolitan areas in the
world, can be enormous due to a variety of factors. The high lifestyle and work style in
Jakarta can cause excessive pressure at work. There is pressure at work to fulfill self-esteem
among early adult workers in Jakarta, so they require social support from the surrounding
environment. Good interpersonal communication skills can also reduce work pressure due to
effective communication in the work environment. Therefore, this research was conducted to
determine the influence of interpersonal communication, self-esteem, and social support on
work pressure among early adulthood in Jakarta. Data was collected through an online
questionnaire and distributed to workers in Jakarta. Respondents in this study totaled 230
people, collected using convenience sampling techniques. The research results show that
there is a significant influence of interpersonal communication, self-esteem, and social
support towards work pressure, with a coefficient of determination of 86.9%.
