The effect of self-esteem, attitude towards the body, and eating habit on cognitive reactivity
Get PDFAn increase in the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles, including dietary problems, is being experienced by students, especially women. This study aims to examine the model of whether self-esteem, attitude towards the body, eating habits, and Body Mass Index (BMI) affects cognitive reactivity in female students. The non-probability convenience sampling technique was employed. A total of 140 female students in Semarang, Indonesia, aged 18-22 participated in this study. The measuring instruments used were the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES), the Dresden Body Image Questionnaire (DBIQ), and the Adult Eating Habit Questionnaire (AEHQ). Analysis was made using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results show that self-esteem significantly and positively affected attitudes towards the body (R2=36.3%, p<.01), and significantly and negatively affected BMI (R2=1.7%, p<.05) and cognitive reactivity (R2=35.8%, p<.01). Furthermore, attitudes towards the body significantly mediated the relationship between self-esteem and eating habits (β = 0.166, p<.01), and also significantly mediated the relationship between self-esteem and BMI (β = -0.157, p<.01). Based on the results, the development of psychological interventions regarding self-esteem as health promotion in relation to lifestyle is highly recommended
Investigation into obedience in the face of unethical behavior
Get PDFSignificant concern about obedience in the face of unethical behavior in many corporate scandals is growing worldwide. However, the issue is underexplored because this type of research is faced by the challenge that the perpetrators are reluctant to harm their image by admitting their wrongdoings. The purpose of this study is to obtain a deeper understanding of the human aspects of obedience in the face of unethical behavior among employees in organizations. Using a qualitative cross-case approach, ten employees were interviewed, representing top, middle, and low-level employees in a broad range of private medium-to-large-sized enterprises. The analysis process involved reducing the raw data into meaningful themes, particularly why employees perform unethical behavior. The study's findings provide complex reasons for obedience in the face of unethical behavior, and it is shown to be the rule and habit of organizations. The respondents also explained why they justified their misbehavior. The employees' viewpoints on obedience in the face of unethical behavior will be useful for organizations to curb unlawful practices in the workplace, as these have detrimental effects on them

Get PDFThe trend of employees leaving companies is highest in the millennial generation, and is expected to continue to increase year on year. This study aims to ascertain how the meaningfulness of work affects the intention to leave through the role of work engagement as a mediator in the millennial generation sample studied. The research was conducted on 446 millennial generation employees (aged 20-37) working in various types of companies in Indonesia, using the convenience sampling method.

Based on the mediation analysis, work engagement significantly acts as a mediator in the relationship between the meaningfulness of work and the millennial generation’s intention to leave their company (= -0.071, SE = 0.012, LLCI = -0.094, ULCI = -0.047). It is hoped that the findings from the study will provide information for organizations on promoting meaningful work and work engagement and thus increasing the desire of millennial generation employees to stay longer in their company or organization
Quality of work-life in employees experiencing a job-skill mismatch
Get PDFAbstract: Quality of Work-life (QWL) in an employee is an important aspect to which a company needs to pay much attention, moreover if the employee experiences a job-skill mismatch. This study aimed to test the effect of job involvement and perceived happiness simultaneously and partially on the quality of work-life in an employee who experiences a job-skill mismatch. The instruments used for collecting data were the QWL scale, job involvement scale, and perceived happiness scale. The subjects of this study were 64 employees. The method of data analysis was the multiple regression analysis. The result of this study showed that job involvement and perceived happiness simultaneously affected QWL (r=0,763; p=0,000). Partially job involvement also had an effect on QWL (r=0.64; p=0,000) and perceived happiness on QWL (r=0,261; p=0,039). Simultaneously, the contribution of job involvement and perceived happiness to the QWL of the employees with a job-skill mismatch was 56.9%. It means that the higher the rate of job involvement and perceived happiness, the higher the quality of work-life an employee with a job-skill mismatch has, and vice versa
