Abstract

The transition from higher education to employment remains difficult in Indonesia, where persistent educated unemployment signals that academic credentials alone no longer guarantee work readiness, and where the psychological and social resources that shape this readiness are still examined separately rather than together. This study aims to analyze the influence of psychological capital and social support on the work readiness of final-year students in Medan, both partially and simultaneously. Employing a quantitative explanatory design, data were collected through a cross-sectional survey of 120 students selected by purposive sampling and analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics. The results show that psychological capital and social support simultaneously exert a positive and significant effect on work readiness (F = 529.857; p < 0.001), with psychological capital the dominant predictor (β = 0.750) compared to social support (β = 0.231). The implication is that transformational education and learning should deliberately cultivate students' internal psychological resources, positioning resilience and self-efficacy as engineered outcomes of institutional strategy rather than incidental byproducts.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of fatherless families in urban Indonesian contexts presents significant challenges for the transmission of life values and social norms to children, particularly as mothers assume dual parental roles amid persistent social stigma. This qualitative research with a phenomenological approach aims to analyze the communication strategies implemented by single mothers in socializing life values to children within the context of fatherless families in Medan City, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 female heads of households and participant observation, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. The research findings reveal five main communication strategies: first, androgynous communication strategies that contextually integrate feminine (empathetic and dialogic) and masculine (firm and directive) characteristics; second, the construction of compensatory communication networks by involving significant male figures from extended families and communities; third, synergistic integration of verbal and non-verbal communication through behavioral modeling and reflection; fourth, creative adaptation of local cultural values (dalihan na tolu and musyawarah) modified according to the fatherless family structure; and fifth, the development of resistance narratives against social stigma through the construction of positive family identity. This study concludes that the success of value socialization in fatherless families highly depends on the mother’s ability to develop resilient, contextual communication strategies integrated with the sociocultural environment. These findings highlight the importance of developing support models for fatherless families that are grounded in existing strengths and local sociocultural potentials.
