How Role Conflict and Leadership Style can Affect Job Satsfaction among Community Health Service Workers in Indonesia
Get PDFEmployees who work in the health services are no exception; public health centers tend to experience high role conflict. Several of the previous studies and articles have raised the issue of role conflict and transformational leadership. The organization must set a strategy so then role conflict and leadership style do not become a problem that can, in time, become an obstacle in the organization. The purpose of this study is to determine if role conflict and transformational leadership style tied into job satisfaction is mediated by work stress. The study was conducted through the survey method using a questionnaire distributed in August - September 2019. The respondents in this study totaled 185 health service employees who worked in the health centers in Jakarta, Indonesia. The data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM). The results showed that there was a relationship between role conflict and job stress, that there was a relationship between job stress and job satisfaction, that there was a relationship between transformational leadership style and job satisfaction but that there was no relationship between role conflict and job satisfaction or between transformational leadership style and work stress in the health service employees
Physical Activity Frequency and Mental Health in Old Age: A Bidirectional Association
No full textThe association between physical activity and mental health have been found bidirectional in the literature. However, evidence of this bidirectional association is lacking from developing countries. This study was aimed at investigating the bidirectional relationship between physical activity frequency and mental health in old age using data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey with a sample of 8,323 old individuals aged between 45 and 90 years. The results revealed that the bidirectional association holds true in old age. Specifically, an increase of one unit in frequency of physical activity is associated with a decrease of 14% in depression after controlling for a set of confounding variables. Similarly, an increase of one unit in depression is associated with a decrease of 3.4% in frequency of physical activity. The results of this study suggest that health policies should take into account the importance of the frequency of physical activity.Keywords: frequency of physical activity, mental health, depression, old age, Indonesi
Post-traumatic Growth Among Domestic Violence Survivors: A Systematic Review
Get PDFAbstract Violence is an abusive behavior which includes any form of physical abuse, psychological abuse, sexual abuse, or neglect. Indonesia's National Commission on Violence against Women, reports that most violence is experienced by women. A majority of the violence occurs within the household domains, otherwise known as domestic violence. Both community and individual violence will result in the experience of trauma in its victims. Nevertheless, trauma caused by violence varies depending on the case and the proximity of the perpetrator to the victim. Many studies have attempted to explore the struggle experienced by victims of violence even although there are very little cases which specifically research cases of domestic violence. This review aims to examine how past empirical studies explain the struggles experienced by victims of violence, the strategy used in addressing their traumatic conditions, and the factors that contribute to a positive change. Posttraumatic Growth. Empirical studies in this review n = 25 which include sources from Psyche, Ebsco, Dissertation unpublish, etc. Indicates that there are several variables that contribute to the positive change process in individuals experiencing violent cases. Among them are social support, self-disclosure, and coping. Keywords: Posttraumatic growth, violence survivor, domestic violence.Â
The Role of Academic Self Efficacy, Social Supoort Teachers Against Self Regulated Learning Students who are Forced at the Inclusion School with Academic Self Concept as a Mediator Variable
No full textStudents with physical disabilities experience many problems with learning. The self-regulated learning model is an independent learning model that teaches students how to effectively organize and manage themselves, to ensure optimal learning outcomes. Our purpose is to analyze how teacher support and academic self-efficacy could influence the self-regulated learning model, specifically with academic self-efficacy as a mediating variable. We used survey as our research instrument. Meanwhile, the analysis method used path analysis. Our findings show that academic self-efficacy could significantly increase the self-regulated learning of physically disabled students. Teacher support had a minimal effect on improving the self-regulated learning of physically disabled students. We also found the importance of academic self-concept as a mediator in increasing self-regulated learning of physically disabled students. Future research is advised to include other social support variables such as parental and peer support into the model. Our findings can be used as a reference for developing a curriculum on a self-regulated learning model for disabled students
Middle Manager’s Commitment to Change: a Qualitative Study
Get PDFAbstractIn times of change, it is very important for middle managers to commit to change because middle managers have a strategic role in the formulation and implementation of change. This study aims to explore the middle manager’s commitment to change at the beginning of the change period and one year after the initiation of change. This research uses a phenomenological qualitative approach and the longitudinal method. Data was taken using semi-structured interviews at nine middle managers. The result shows three main themes: (1) Middle managers' initial commitment to change is influenced by their views on the importance of change and middle managers experience at the beginning of change, (2) there is a change in commitment to change after one year of organizational change, (3) factors that are influenced change in middle manager’s commitment to changes. The findings in this study are expected to be a meaningful contribution to understanding the commitment to change among middle managers.Keywords: Organizational changes, agents of changes, qualitative study
Assessing Worry in Children: Psychometric Evaluation of the Indonesian Version of the Penn State Worry Questionnaire for Children (PSWQ-C)
Get PDFThe Penn State Worry Questionnaire for Children (PSWQ-C) is a well-known 14-items self-report measure of worry in children and adolescents. Previous studies reported favorable psychometric properties in clinical and non-clinical samples, but recommendations given to use the full version or the shortened version of PSWQ-C are inconclusive. As a standardized measure of worry was not available in Indonesia prior to the study, the present study aims to evaluate the Indonesian version of PSWQ-C as a measure of worry on children and to assess worry in a large non-clinical sample of Indonesian children. We conducted forward-backward translation and applied the Indonesian translation of PSWQ-C on 653 children (3rd to 5thgrades) from four state elementary schools in Semarang city. Furthermore, we also conducted comparison analysis across gender and grades. Principal component analysis resulted in two-factor structure of 14 items as well as a one-factor structure comprised 11 items. The reversed scoring items had poor psychometric qualities. The Indonesian version of 11-items PSWQ-C has satisfactory internal consistency (α = 0.808). Young girls significantly scored higher than boys, but no significant differences were found across grades. The Indonesian version of the 11-item PSWQ-C demonstrated favorable psychometric properties to be applied in the future studies. Intervention to prevent or reduce anxiety and depression in young children should consider gender and grades differences.Â
Psychological Reactance Management via Nonlinear Dynamic Motivation in Classroom and Telecollaborative Second Language Learning Contexts
Get PDFDrawing on dynamic systems theory, FonF practice model and psychological reactance theory, the present study proposed reinforcing nonlinear dynamic motivation (NDM) as a facilitator to manage psychological reactance in three forms of incivility, dissent, and resistance among classroom and telecollaborative second language (L2) learners and teachers. Given the dynamicity and nonlinearity of motivation which differ from language to language and learner to learner, the current study aimed at exploring the possible impact of NDM on psychological reactance as a source of different behavioral problems in learning context. To find out whether NDM has the potential to prevent/minimize psychological reactance with regard to learner-teacher anxiety, frustration, and self-doubt a mixed methods study was conducted among 275 EFL learners. Implications of the study include the significance of NDM-oriented strategies at managing reactance in three forms of resistance, incivility, and dissent. Methodological triangulation of data from different participants and different contexts with regards to oppositional behavior indicated significant relationship between NDM and managing reactance among language teachers as well as language learners
Predicting Participation in Volunteering Based on Personality Characteristics
Get PDFThe main purpose of this study was to find out whether big five personality traits can predict the participation in volunteering. A total of 420 participants consisting of 215 volunteers and 205 non-volunteers from various regions in Indonesia completed measures of the Big Five personality traits. The preliminary analysis using independent sample t-test found that the extraversion, agreeableness, conscientiousness, emotional stability, and openness of volunteer samples were significantly higher than non-volunteer samples. Binary logistic regression analysis then was used to examine whether each of big five personality traits was able to predict the participation to be volunteer. The logistic regression model was statistically significant, χ2 = 67,102, p < ,01. The model explained 19,7% (Nagelkerke R2) of the variance in volunteer participation and correctly classified 64% of cases. Increasing extraversion and conscientiousness was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of volunteer participation. Thus, certain personality characteristics can predict participation in volunteerin
Physical Punishment at School in Three Educational Systems in Pakistan
Get PDFA questionnaire was completed by 1,100 students (550 girls, mean age 13.3 years, SD 1.0; 550 boys, mean age 14.1, SD 1.0) from three types of schools in Pakistan; Urdu medium, Elite English medium, and Madrassa. It included scales measuring frequency of victimisation from physical punishment by a teacher, physical injuries from being punished by a teacher, negative feelings after physical punishment by a teacher, reasons for being punished by a teacher, and acceptance of physical punishment at school. Boys had significantly more often been victimised from physical punishment than girls, with boys from Madrassas being more often victimised than all other groups. Students from English medium schools scored significantly lower on all scales than students from the other schools. Girls reported a significantly more accepting attitude towards physical punishment at  school than boys. Students from Urdu medium schools scored significantly highest on acceptance of physical punishment at school, while boys from English mediums schools reported the significantly lowest level of acceptance. For both girls and boys, acceptance of physical punishment at school was positively correlated with the other scales
SURVIVORS OF SEX TRAFFICKING: HOW COULD THEY REVIVE?
Get PDFThe aim of this study is to identify factors which support survivors of sex trafficking to be resilient after their experience of trafficking. This is a qualitative study using case study approach. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with female sex trafficking survivors. The data analysis employed thematic analysis developed by Braun and Clark (2006). Result reveals some risk factors which survivors encountered, including personal factor, family poverty, family disintegration and disfunction, negative peer influence and juvenile delinquency, unsupportive community, and public stigma. Resilient survivors could basically overcome those risks and were supported by some personal protective factors, such as belief system, self-efficacy, effective coping skill, and personal motivation. Protective support could also be socially sourced, such as from family, peers, and shelter.Key words: resilience, risk factor, protective factor, social support, survivor, sex traffickin
