Abstrak

 This study aims to determine the need for lecturers at the Air Force Academy through workload analysis using the Work Load Analysis (WLA) method. The background of the study is based on the importance of proportional workload distribution so that the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education can run optimally. The problem often faced by universities, including the Air Force Academy, is the imbalance of lecturer workload which can have an impact on decreasing performance and achieving institutional targets. Therefore, a systematic analysis is needed to ensure that the number of lecturers needed is in accordance with the actual workload.

The Work Load Analysis (WLA) method is used in this study because it is able to identify the need for manpower based on the time needed to complete all lecturers' tasks. The analysis process includes measuring cycle time, allowance, and determining the standard time for each lecturer activity, such as teaching, research, and community service. The data obtained is then processed to calculate the ideal number of lecturers needed so that the workload does not exceed the established standards. The results of the analysis are expected to provide recommendations for the addition or redistribution of lecturers so that work efficiency and effectiveness are achieved in the Air Force Academy environment.

The results of the study indicate that most lecturers at the Air Force Academy experience workloads that exceed ideal standards, especially in the areas of teaching and additional tasks. This finding is in line with previous studies in various higher education institutions that show the need for additional lecturers to achieve a proportional workload and support optimal performance. By implementing the WLA method, institutions can objectively determine the need for lecturers, so that it is expected to improve the quality of education, research, and community service at the Air Force Academy.
