PEMBERDAYAAN TKBM DALAM MENINGKATKAN PRODUKTIVITAS KERJA MELALUI MANAJEMEN WAKTU DAN ETOS KERJA MARITIM

Abstract

This community service activity (PKM) was carried out as an effort to improve the quality of work and professionalism of loading and unloading workers (TKBM) at Makassar Port through non-technical training that focuses on strengthening work ethic and time management. The main problems faced by TKBM so far include low work discipline, delays in starting activities, and lack of awareness of the importance of time efficiency in supporting port productivity. The training was conducted using a participatory approach, including visual material delivery, group discussions, case studies, and personal reflections. Implementation results showed significant improvements in participants' understanding and work attitudes, including time discipline, individual responsibility, and pride in the TKBM profession. The post-activity evaluation showed a more positive and efficient change in work behavior, marked by on-time attendance, less unproductive idle time, and increased collaboration between team members. In addition to the impact on individual participants, this activity also contributed to improving the institutional image of the TKBM cooperative and strengthening the national logistics supply chain.
