Problem-Solving Skills and Internalizing Problems in Adolescents
Full text linkMany changes occur during adolescence, including physical, cognitive, and psychological. They must be addressed appropriately to prevent internalizing problems at this developmental stage. Problem-solving is one of the personal skills that eases the adaptation to drastic developmental changes. Additionally, gender has been found to affect internalizing problems. This study aimed to measure the gender differences in internalizing problems and simultaneously examine the role of problem-solving skills and gender in internalizing problems. Based on simple random sampling, 669 students from eight Muhammadiyah high schools in East Java participated in this study. Data were collected using the Problem-Solving Inventory (PSI), the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ), and demographic questions. The independent sample t-test results indicated significant gender differences in internalizing problems (t = -5.73, p < .001), in which female adolescents on average scored higher than their male counterparts. The multiple linear regression showed that problem-solving and gender simultaneously contribute to internalizing problems and account for 14% of the variance in internalizing problems. Incorporating the development of gender-based problem-solving skills among adolescents is likely to help prevent internalizing problems
Psychometric Properties of the Indonesian Version of the Personal Growth Initiative Scale-II Using the Graded Response Model
Full text linkPersonal Growth Initiative Scale-II (PGIS-II) is the most recent and widely used scale to measure PGI, an active, conscious, focused, and intentional involvement of individuals in their growth process. In the Indonesian context, PGIS-II has been used in several studies, including scale validation using a classical test theory (CTT) approach. However, there is limited validation research using the item response theory (IRT) approach. Therefore, this study aimed to: (1) evaluate the item quality of the Indonesian version of PGIS-II, and (2) assess the scale's measurement precision using the IRT approach. Data were collected through an online survey from 376 participants (aged 15 to 64) and analyzed using RStudio software version 4.2.2. Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the four-factor model was the most appropriate fit for this scale. IRT analysis showed that the GRM model is the best based on data fit and model simplicity. The findings showed this scale has good psychometric properties, in terms of discrimination and location parameters, except for Items 6 and 14. Even with poor-quality items, this scale has provided high-reliability coefficients and meets the criteria of reliable measurement. This scale can assess individuals with very low to average levels of PGI

This study aimed to test the validity of the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 with the Rasch Model. The validity test was conducted to improve the understanding of the psychometric properties of the scale in the Indonesian population. Participants were 250 adults aged 20-34 (176 men, 74 women). The results showed that the UCLA Loneliness Scale Version 3 is a multidimensional measurement instrument. One item did not meet the criteria of model fit. Considerations for future research are discussed in the article
Leaders’ Innovative Work Behavior: The Role of Business Acumen, Innovative Self-Efficacy, and Openness
No full textBased on the conservation of resources principle, behavior can be exhibited by an individual because of the resource investments that are deployed to obtain other resources. This study aims to examine the role of business acumen, innovative self-efficacy, and openness to experience, which are personal resources on innovative work behavior. The study involved leaders at PT X, an energy company in Indonesia (n = 232). The leaders were employees in senior management, middle management, or frontline management. Participants were selected using proportionate stratified sampling. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the research hypotheses. The study found that only business acumen (b = 0,22; p-value < 0,01) and openness to experience (b = 0.78; p-value < 0.01) can predict innovative work behavior. The results of this study provide alternative pathways for developing a more precise innovation-oriented leadership development program
The Roles of Patience and Social Support on the Academic Stress of Undergraduate Students
No full textAcademic stress is a prominent issue in various universities, including in Indonesia. Demands from parents and lecturers, interactions with peers, and campus facilities can cause pressure on students. Every student has different responses to this pressure. Internal factors, such as patience, or external factors, such as social support, can influence these differences. This study aimed to examine the roles of these two factors on academic stress experienced by college students. The scales used were the Perception of Academic Stress Scale, the 3-Factor Patience Questionnaire, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Participants were undergraduate students currently studying at universities in Yogyakarta (N=196). The analysis results showed that the hypothesis in this research was not accepted as patience and social support did not play significant roles in academic stress (F=1.171, p > 0.05). However, after analyzing the sources of social support, family and friends were found to have significant roles in academic stress. This finding indicates that social support from family and friends plays an important role in helping students cope with academic stress
Skill Development: Government Officials’ Efforts to Face Bureaucratic Reform in the Digital Economy Era
No full textTo improve performance, the government has made various efforts for a bureaucratic reform. As a result, the state civil apparatus (ASN) or civil servants experience various changes in duties. In changing tasks, there are positive/negative perceptions regarding the new way of completing tasks. This research aimed to find out how ASNs anticipate various changes in these tasks. Changes in tasks can cause job insecurity, which is accompanied by a decrease in job satisfaction. Job insecurity is related to worries about losing valuable aspects work. Meanwhile, job satisfaction is an employee's assessment of various aspects of work. The impact of task changes on job insecurity and job satisfaction is facilitated by skills development. Skills development by ASN includes anticipation by increasing knowledge and abilities. Participants in this research were 258 government agency employees in Jakarta. Based on the test results, it was found that task changes can either increase or decrease job satisfaction. When task changes increase the individual's efforts to develop skills; job satisfaction will ultimately increase. On the other hand, if task changes trigger qualitative job insecurity, then job satisfaction will decrease; especially for individuals with prevention focus
