Toxic Work Environment Among Cross-Generational Employees
Full text linkToxic work environments not only negatively impact the mental and physical well-being of employees but also affect employee productivity and retention. A cross-generational perspective is crucial to providing more comprehensive insights and helping organizations create a healthy work culture. This study aimed to describe the toxic work environment perceived by cross-generational employees and the demographic variables that influence it. The quantitative research used a convenience sampling technique. The sample consisted of 783 Indonesians aged 19 to 60 years who had worked for at least 1 year. The study examined the perceived toxic work environment using descriptive statistics. In addition, researchers also used Mann-Whitney U and Kruskal-Wallis statistical analyses to see the differences based on the demographic data collected. The results found that the majority of the toxic work environments perceived by employees were in the low category (91%). The analysis also showed that differences in generation, type of work, and length of service affect the toxic work environment felt by employees. The toxic work environment is more prevalent among Generation Z, employees who work in the private sector, and those who have worked for 5 years or less
Understanding Individual Materialism: Position of Materialistic Aspirations in the Internal Structure of the Aspiration Index
Full text linkMaterialistic aspirations, which are individual life goals for happiness based on financial success, fame, and self-image, have seen an increasing trend in our society. This rise in materialistic aspirations negatively impacts individual well-being, the external environment, and social harmony. This study aimed to understand materialistic aspirations in relation to other life aspirations; affiliation, community feeling, conformity, hedonism, physical health, self-acceptance, safety, and spirituality. Data were collected from 413 college students, who were selected using convenience sampling. Data was analyzed using multidimensional scaling. Results showed that hedonism is the aspiration closest to materialistic aspirations and opposite to intrinsic aspirations. Additionally, life aspirations based on the Aspiration Index are categorized into two dimensions and four quadrants. The results of this study provide a perspective on materialism in Indonesia and can have practical benefits, such as creating educational programs on consumer literacy and developing policies related to consumer protection that prioritize some of the Aspiration Index’s domains
The Influence of Qana’ah (Contentment) and Gratitude towards Future Anxiety In Mahasantri (University Students Who Attend Pesantren/Islamic Boarding Institution)
Full text linkQana’ah (contentment) and gratitude are commendable virtues taught in mahasantri (university student who attend in pesantren/Islamic boarding institution). These virtues serve as invaluable assets to navigate through adversities related to apprehensions of future. Despite the cultivation of virtues among mahasantri, some still grapples with anxiety concerning future. Therefore, this research aimed to explain the influence of qana’ah (contentment) and gratitude toward future anxiety in mahasantri using quantitative method. Meanwhile, the participants of this study was 201 mahasantri in Raden Mas Said State Islamic University Surakarta which was obtained by cluster random sampling. The results showed that qana’ah (contentment) and gratitude simultaneously influence future anxiety. Separately, the two predictors also have negative influences on future anxiety. It is hoped that the research will be able to become a reference for teenagers to adopt qana’ah and gratitude. Apart from that, this research is also expected to be an important modality in developing qana’ah therapy to reduce future anxiety
Neuroticism as a Moderator of the Relationship Between Peer Conformity and Cyberbullying
No full textCyberbullying is a phenomenon that often occurs in adolescents and can be caused by conformity or personality. This study aimed to evaluate whether neurotic personality can strengthen or weaken the relationship between conformity and cyberbullying in adolescents. The participants were 140 adolescents aged 12–15 years old, all of whom were active social media users and had been involved in cyberbullying. Cyberbullying was measured on a scale created by the researchers (α = 0.863), conformity was measured using a peer conformity scale (α = 0.846), and neuroticism was measured using a scale that had been previously adapted into the Indonesian language and culture (α = 0.766). Data were analyzed quantitatively using PROCESS. The results showed that low levels of neuroticism could moderate or strengthen the relationship between conformity and cyberbullying. Future researchers might test moderating variables other than neuroticism to obtain new findings. Based on the current study, parents are advised to help children select their friendship environments to prevent cyberbullying behavior. Schools can create intervention programs to prevent cyberbullying, especially for adolescents who display neuroticism. School counselors and parents can create a positive friendship environment so that adolescents do not become perpetrators or victims of cyberbullying. Parents are additionally advised to limit the use of digital devices among their adolescents
The Quiet Quitting Epidemic: Toxic Workplaces, Job Insecurity, and Gen Z’s Search for Grit
No full textThe high prevalence of quiet quitting (QQ) among Generation Z (a global average of 59%, with the figure in Indonesia being even higher, reaching 67.84%) indicates a profound problem within the current work industry. Particularly in the high-pressure financial sector, Gen Z is suspected to be highly susceptible to toxic work environment (TWE) and job insecurity (JI) as triggers for QQ. Therefore, this study aims to explore the moderating effects of organizational career growth (OCG) and grit on QQ’s relationship with TWE and JI, based on the Conservation of Resources Theory and using a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 107 Gen Z employees in the financial sector. Data analysis was performed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrate that TWE and JI have a positive and significant effect on QQ. OCG and grit significantly weaken the effect of TWE on QQ, but do not significantly moderate the effect of JI. These findings serve as a reference for organizations to anticipate QQ among Gen Z by providing clear career development paths, grit training programs, and a stable work environment through long-term contracts and open dialogue regarding company sustainability
The Role of Husband Support in Work-Family Conflict Among Working Mothers (Perspective of Communal Sharing and Equity Matching)
Full text linkThis study aimed to determine the effect of the husband's support on work-family conflict in working mothers through the lens of equality matching and communal sharing based on the indigenous psychology approach. The data was collected from 296 participants through a survey using the work-family conflict scale, husband support scale, communal sharing social relationship scale, and social equality matching scale. Data analysis used was a test measurement model at once against 3 constructs using path analysis. Based on the results of the model test, it was found that the model of the influence of husband's support on work-family conflict in working mothers through social relations equality matching and communal sharing was empirically tested (kai-squared value with p> 0.05; GFI value ≥0.90; AGFI value. ≥0.90). In addition, it was found that the social relations of communal sharing have a direct influence on family work conflicts in working mothers with a total effect of -0.334 (p <0.05); Social relations equality matching has an effect on family work conflicts in working mothers with a total effect of -0.135 (p <0.05); and husband's support affects work-family conflict in working mothers with a total effect of -0.205 (p <0.05)
Validity and Reliability Testing of the Proactive Personality Scale–Short Version (PPS-SV) Among University Students in Indonesia
No full textProactive personality is an essential disposition determining students’ readiness to enter the workforce, so a validated instrument is needed to measure it in Indonesia. This study aimed to adapt the Proactive Personality Scale–Short Version (PPS-SV) into the Indonesian language and test its validity and reliability in a student population. A total of 232 students (61 men, 171 women) from a university in Bandung participated in the study. The age range of the participants was 19–25 years old (M = 21.7; SD = 1.12). Construct validity was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while reliability was estimated using Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega. The CFA results confirmed the one-factor structure of the PPS-SV and demonstrated good model fit with the data (CFI = .964, TLI = .954, GFI = .994, RMSEA = .069, and SRMR = .036). The scale also showed excellent internal consistency (α = .901; ω = 0.902). Thus, the Indonesian adaptation of the PPS-SV was judged to have strong psychometric properties, including good construct validity and reliability. This scale can therefore be recommended for measuring proactive personality in students in Indonesia

Measuring the Role of Observable Variables of Student Engagement on College Belongingness Using the MIMIC Model
No full textOnline learning due to social restrictions that occurred during the COVID-19 pandemic reduced student engagement in both academic and non-academic fields, which was followed by a decline in college belongingness. However, student engagement takes various forms. Therefore, this research aimed to look at the role of student engagement in the form of attendance or visits, time spent on campus (duration), and involvement in organizations or activities on campus (covariate variables) on college belongingness (latent variable). The research participants were 400 students from a state university in South Sumatra who were selected using the following inclusion criteria: undergraduates, actively enrolled on campus, being at least a freshman (semester 1), at least 18 years old, and studying at the main campus of the university. Participants were selected using a non-probability sampling technique, namely convenience sampling. Data analysis was done using structural modeling, which was the MIMIC model. The results showed that the frequency of attendance and involvement in organizations or activities has a significant role in the social acceptance dimension of college belongingness, but not the amount of time spent on campus. Apart from that, the three covariate variables have no role in the social exclusion dimension of college belongingness
Predicting Health Behavior Using the Theory of Planned Behavior: Lessons Learned from the COVID-19 Pandemic
Full text linkClean and healthy living behavior (CHLB) is one of the fundamental aspects of life. However, public awareness of health behaviors in Indonesia is still relatively low. This research aimed to predict health behaviors using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework, which has the components of attitude, subjective norms, behavioral control, behavioral intention, and behavior, in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. An incidental sampling technique was used to select 118 participants aged 20-40. Data were collected online using 17 questions about TPB. Path analysis showed that attitude and behavioral control predict health behavior indirectly through behavioral intention (partial mediation). On the other hand, subjective norms do not significantly predict intention but are directly related to health behavior. The implications of this study for policy and public health are discussed further
