Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat hubungan antara followership dan kepuasan kerja pada karyawan BUMN dan seberapa besar dimensi followership memberikan sumbangan pada dimensi kepuasan kerja. Pengukuran followership menggunakan alat ukur Kelley’s Followership Questionnaire (Kelley, 1992) yang mana memiliki dua dimensi yaitu independent critical thinking dan active engagement. Pengukuran kepuasan kerja menggunakan alat ukur Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (short-form) (Weiss, Dawis, England, & Lofquist, 1967) yang mana memiliki dua dimensi yaitu intrinsik dan ekstrinsik. Metode pengambilan sampel menggunakan accidental sampling yang mana kuesioner disebarkan melalui 2 staff di perusahaan. Partisipan dalam penelitian ini berjumlah 111 karyawan BUMN. Dalam melihat hubungan menggunakan teknik Pearson Correlation. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan terdapat hubungan yang signifikan antara followership dengan kepuasan kerja pada karyawan (r = 0.430; p<0.05, signifikan pada L.o.S 0.05). Artinya, semakin tinggi followership yang dimiliki oleh seseorang, maka semakin tinggi pula kepuasan kerjanya. Selain itu, dimensi followership yang memiliki sumbangan paling besar, yaitu independent critical thinking. Berdasarkan hal tersebut, seorang karyawan perlu ditingkatkan followership-nya terutama dimensi independent critical thinking sebagai salah satu faktor yang mempengaruhi kepuasan kerja.
