Abstract
Little has been known about stress experienced by commuter workers in Indonesia, especially in urban city Jakarta and its neighborhood sub-urban areas such as Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi (Jabodetabek). On that count, this paper attempts to assess commuter workers risk of being stress related to time to travel across those administrative boundaries. Data from Jabodetabek Commuter Survey 2014 by Indonesia Central Bureau Statistics (BPS) will be analyzed using logistic regression to estimate probability of being stress caused by time needed to get to workplace. Finding shows that an increasing commuting duration influences risk of stress experienced among commuter workers. Tolerance threshold of time commuting on stress also shows different pattern of commuting duration influence commuter workers risk of stress. Understanding this issue will be beneficial to take into account psychological and long term health impact of stress as a cost of commuting while calculating its benefit to maximize individual output.
