Is Motivation Really Important? Exploring Teachers' Need Satisfaction and Work Motivation through Organizational Climate and Psychological Capital
Get PDFThe teaching profession is a critical cornerstone for the success of education in Indonesia. However, maintaining teachers' work motivation poses a significant challenge, particularly in rural areas. This study examines the influence of organizational climate and psychological capital on teachers' work motivation, with need satisfaction serving as a mediating factor. Data were collected from 210 teachers in rural schools using a self-report survey and a convenience sampling technique. Participants completed scales measuring organizational climate, psychological capital, need satisfaction, and intrinsic motivation (interest/pleasure subscale). The study employed quantitative methods, including descriptive analysis of respondent profiles, measurement model analysis, and structural model analysis. Findings from structural equation modeling revealed that both organizational climate and psychological capital significantly influence teachers' work motivation, with need satisfaction acting as a crucial mediator. Organizational climate, as an external factor, significantly impacts need satisfaction and work motivation. Meanwhile, psychological capital, an internal factor, serves as a primary source of need satisfaction, which, in turn, plays a pivotal role in fostering work motivation. These findings underscore the importance of cultivating a supportive work climate and fostering psychological capital to enhance teachers' sense of responsibility and resilience in addressing the complexities of teaching in rural settings. The study highlights the need for a self-determination-oriented teacher culture in rural schools to sustain motivation and improve educational outcomes
Not Too Involved but Really Care: Father’s Acceptance Who Have Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
Get PDFASD constitutes a persistent mental disorder that significantly impacts family dynamics, involving both parents and siblings. Limited research has delved into the dynamics of how siblings undergo the process of accepting a father with an ASD child. This study aims to investigate the unique process of paternal acceptance in the context of children with ASD. Utilizing a case study approach, in-depth interviews will be conducted with 8 fathers of ASD children. The acceptance journey for fathers in the realm of ASD differs from the stages outlined in Ross' theory. Fathers traverse a stage of confusion followed by the realistic stage, contemplating the subsequent steps and actions to optimize the development of their ASD children. While fathers may not be directly involved in day-to-day parenting tasks, they exhibit commitment by providing financial support, monitoring their children's ASD development, and realistically preparing for their future.
The Indonesian Adaptation of Developmental Crisis Questionnaire-12 (DCQ-12)
Get PDFThe developmental crisis in early adulthood, often referred to as the Quarter-Life Crisis, has garnered significant attention in recent years. Although widely discussed in mass media and popular writings, there is a lack of a well-established psychological scale to measure this crisis in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Indonesian adaptation of the Developmental Crisis Questionnaire (DCQ-12) developed by Petrov et al. (2022) for assessing early adulthood developmental crises. The DCQ-12 instrument consists of twelve statements divided into three factors: Disconnection and Distress, Lack of Clarity and Control, and Transition and Turning Point. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) are used in the test. This research involves 300 Indonesian early adult participants (mean age = 31.81 years, SD = 6.72, 90% female) for EFA testing and 248 participants (mean age = 25.2 years, SD = 5.32, 78.2% female) for CFA testing. The results indicate that the three-factor structure of the ten items of the Indonesian version of the DCQ has psychometric properties classified as "acceptable fit," making it suitable for research on developmental crises in early adult individuals. Future research should explore the psychometric properties of this instrument in other population groups, such as middle-aged and older adults, and consider implications for interventions or support program
Psychoeducational Film Intervention with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to Enhance Secure Attachment of Students towards Parents
Get PDFSeparation from parents to study at a boarding school creates a sense of loss, alienation, loneliness, and a weakening of communication with parents among the students (santri). The issues faced by these students are related to attachment patterns, specifically secure attachment. Secure attachment significantly influences the social and emotional development of students, reduces behavioral problems, and alleviates depression. Therefore, this research aims to examine the efficacy of two psychoeducational interventions utilizing films, one with a cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) approach and one without a CBT approach, to enhance secure attachment among students towards their parents. This study employs a randomized controlled trial pre-post test design, with a research population of 20 students from Madrasah Tsanawiyah Candung. The participants are randomly divided into two different intervention groups, each consisting of 10 subjects. Data analysis involves the Wilcoxon signed ranks test and Mann-Whitney test. The results indicate a significant improvement in secure attachment among students in both the psychoeducational film intervention with CBT and the psychoeducational film intervention without CBT. However, further analysis reveals that the psychoeducational film intervention with CBT produces a higher increase in self-esteem compared to the intervention without CBT
Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy as Mediator of Parental Career Support and Vocational Identity
Get PDFPrevious research has found that parental support can help adolescents determine their vocational identity. However, parental support may not directly contribute to vocational identity but instead first make adolescents have career decision-making self-efficacy. This study examined the effects of career decision-making self-efficacy as a mediator in the relation between parental career support and vocational identity. The participants included 400 senior high school students aged between 15-18 with both parents and the data was analyzed through the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results showed that career decision-making self-efficacy mediates between parental career support with career exploration and career commitment. These findings indicate that parental career support helps adolescents develop career decision-making self-efficacy so that adolescents can achieve an optimal vocational identity characterized by career exploration and commitment. This study found no significant effect on career reconsideration, possibly due to parental support and individual characteristics

This finding was obtained based on a series of data analyzes that there is a strong relationship between self-efficacy and family social support on psychological well-being of 56.3%, then the variables of self-efficacy and family social support can explain students' psychological well-being of 31.7%
Gratitude and Negative Affects During the Covid-19 Pandemic: The Role of Comparative Thinking as Moderating Variables
Get PDFCollege students have been shown to be more susceptible to mental health problems and psychological distress than the general population their age. The purpose of this study is to examine the moderating effect of comparative thinking on the relationship between gratitude and negative affect during the COVID-19 outbreak. A total of 370 students were recruited through an online questionnaire to obtain responses from a representative sample. Respondents filled out a questionnaire in the form of the gratitude questionnaire – six item form (GQ-6) and 20 items positive affect negative affect schedule (PANAS), as well as a question used to measure comparative thinking. The main result obtained in this study is that there is a significant moderating effect of comparative thinking in predicting gratitude towards negative affect. This finding, of course, can be used as a reference as the determination of training programs at the applied level and theoretical development of the gratitude model
Reframing Hope: The Process of Adapting Mothers to Children with Down Syndrome after Receiving a Diagnosis
Get PDFThis study aims to explore the experiences of mothers adapting after receiving a Down Syndrome (DS) diagnosis for their child. Utilizing a Heideggerian phenomenological approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with 10 mothers of children with DS, focusing on their emotional responses, acceptance, and hopes. The analysis identified three main themes: initial reactions to the diagnosis and the resulting loss of hope, the process of acceptance, and managing hopes while adapting to the child's condition. The findings reveal the complex journey mothers undergo in restructuring their emotions and thoughts, underscoring the importance of diagnostic confirmation, social support, and spiritual beliefs in the acceptance process. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of mothers’ experiences following a DS diagnosis and offers insights for health professionals and support systems to better assist families during this critical period. The theme of “reframing hopes” emerged as central, facilitating mothers’ ability to adjust and maintain hope for their children’s futures
Did Trust in Government Induce the Impact of Loneliness and Self-Control on Student’s Compliance during Social Restriction Implementation? A moderator analysis
Get PDFThe mitigation strategy employed in addressing the prolonged pandemic situation in Indonesia yielded a discernment: collaborative efforts between individuals and the government were imperative to achieve the desired objectives. Despite the emergence of numerous psychological challenges among individuals during the pandemic, the pivotal role of public compliance became particularly evident during the implementation of social restrictions. Government initiatives to mitigate risks would not attain optimal effectiveness without substantial support from the public, either through trusting the government or adhering to regulatory measures. This study seeks to elucidate the moderating role of government trust in the impact of loneliness and self-control on students' compliance with social restriction policies during the Covid-19 pandemic. Conducted in early 2022 using a cross-sectional design, the study encompassed 401 undergraduate students from various regions in Indonesia. Employing Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA), the results demonstrated that trust in the government significantly moderated the effects of loneliness and self-control on student compliance (F(6, 403) = 101.017, p<0.001). The findings revealed that students were more inclined to comply with social restriction policies, even when experiencing loneliness, if they maintained trust in the government. This study underscores the significant role of government trust, particularly in situations necessitating cooperative behavior from the public in adhering to policies
