Work-home interaction and psychological distress during the COVID-19 pandemic: The mediation effect of cyberloafing
Full text linkWork from home is one of the policies chosen by the government due to the COVID -19 pandemic; however, work-home interactions (WHIs) can place a burden on one domain. This study aimed to examine the relationship between the dimensions of WHIs and psychological distress and how cyberloafing mediates this relationship. Data were collected with an online survey tool from 2,349 participants who worked at a government institution in Indonesia with employees across the country to test the proposed hypothesis. The results show that all forms of WHIs cause psychological distress. Further, a high level of negative work-home interactions (NWHIs) and negative home-work interactions (NHWIs) increase psychological distress. Conversely, a high level of positive work-home interactions (PWHIs) and positive home-work interactions (PHWIs) reduce psychological distress. In addition, this studys results also show that cyberloafing mediates the relationships between NWHIs, NHWIs, PWHIs, and psychological distress. This study implies the organization need to provide mental support and technology support to ensure the work of employees effective. Organizations also need to support employees to reduce work-family conflict
Past and present: Improving early childhood visual spatial abilities through traditional game cengkling
Full text linkVisual spatial abilities are essential in academic and everyday life. This study aimed to determine the impact of traditional game cengkling on early childhood visual spatial abilities. A quasi-experimental with pretest-posttest control group design was applied with 18 participants evenly divided into experimental and control groups. Participants in the experiment group were given traditional game cengkling with a modification on the visual spatial system such as visual perception, color perception, and space. A visual ability scale was used to collect the data both in pretest and posttest. Data were then analyzed with the independent sample t-test and the paired sample t-test. The results show a significant difference in visual spatial abilities on pretest and posttest scores in the experimental group. Whereas in the control group, no significant difference in visual spatial abilities was found. It can be concluded that the traditional game cengkling stimulates visual spatial abilities in early childhood
Work stress in aircraft maintenance technicians: The role of work-life balance
Full text linkWork stress is a widespread issue among various kinds of employees because of its negative impact. This study aimed to determine the role of work-life balance toward work stress experienced by aircraft maintenance technicians. A total of ninety-two aircraft maintenance technicians participated in this quantitative approach using scales as the research instrument. The data were collected and then analyzed using multiple linear regression methods. The results showed that three dimensions of work-life balance, namely WIPL, PLIW, and WPLE, have a significant simultaneous role on work stress with an effective contribution of 56.5%. Partially, WIPL and PLIW significantly have a positive role on work stress with a contribution of 40.7% and 12.19%, whereas WPLE does not have a significant role on work stress. This study implies that a low level of WIPL and PLIW will reduce work stress levels in aircraft maintenance technicians and vice versa. Therefore, organizations can support aircraft maintenance technicians in managing work-life balance to maintain work stress levels
Indonesian adaptation of the Revised College Student Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire
Full text linkThe College Student Subjective Well-being Questionnaire Revised version (CSSWQ-R) was developed to assess university students' domain-specific well-being related to their academic lives. Previous research suggested that the validity and reliability of this scale should be tested in another cultural context. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric features and structure of the CSSWQ-R in Indonesia. Five hundred eighty-six undergraduate students in Indonesia were recruited as participants with an accidental sampling technique. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to determine which of four alternative construct structure models suited best, whether the correlated factor, single factor, 2nd order, or bifactor model. The bifactor model was shown to be the best fit for explaining the structure of the CSSWQ-R Indonesian version, with the total score interpretation being the most meaningful. Further convergent and discriminant validity test was proven, and as expected, this scale related positively with academic resilience and academic achievement (GPA). This research contributes to stimulating research in an educational context concerned with higher education students' subjective well-being
Mindfulness and academic resilience among unprivileged college students: The mediating role of self-compassion
Full text linkA growing body of studies shows that the higher individuals' education level, the higher their chance of getting a better salary. Unfortunately, for unprivileged students who want to improve their living conditions, the risk of failure to complete college is much higher because of numerous obstacles regarding their economic status. Having good academic resilience may foster unprivileged college students to achieve success in their studies. This study aimed to find out the relationship between mindfulness and academic resilience with self-compassion as a mediator. One hundred thirty-one unprivileged college students participated in this cross-sectional, quantitative study. Three adapted scales were used: (1) The Mindfulness Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), (2) The Self-Compassion Scale (SCS), and (3) The Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30). The data were then analyzed with the Hayes Regression technique. The findings support the hypothesis that self-compassion fully mediates the relationship between mindfulness and academic resilience among unprivileged Indonesian college students with a 23.1 percent contribution. Therefore, among unprivileged students, the impact of mindfulness on academic resilience will be higher through self-compassion
Denial attitude and behavior as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic: A qualitative study
Full text linkAmid various reactions and public responses to the uncertain situation and changes during the COVID-19 pandemic, some groups and individuals worldwide expressed denial attitudes and behavior, including in Indonesia. This paper aimed to explore denial attitude and behavior, particularly on social learning and observational learning theory. A qualitative survey method with open-ended questions was applied to gather data from 15 individuals who believed the COVID-19 pandemic was part of conspiracy theory and or does not exist. The results show a social learning process leads to the occurrence of attitudes and behaviors that deny the current existence of the COVID-19. Observational learning with a reference group strengthens individuals adapting and forming behavior similar to their reference group. Believing conspiracy theory and having negative perception and behavior towards medical workers are types and characteristics of attitude and behaviors in denying the COVID-19 pandemic. The denial attitude and behavior can ultimately be concluded as a psychosocial response that emerged due to social learning and individual factors, including insufficient access to reliable information and conspiracy theories that were received massively from social media and broadcast message groups. These findings suggest that more attention needs to be given to social and individual factors as causes of the COVID-19 pandemic denial
