Abstract

Background. The rising prevalence of mental health challenges among primary school children necessitates the exploration of accessible and effective school-based interventions. Storytelling, a pedagogical tool deeply embedded in childhood, presents a promising, culturally-sensitive medium for fostering emotional resilience. However, empirical analysis of its specific contribution to resilience-building within structured mental health programs remains underexplored. Purpose. This study aimed to analyze how children’s narratives, developed through a storytelling-based mental health intervention, reflect the cultivation of emotional resilience. Methods. Employing a narrative analysis framework, this qualitative study examined the stories created by 30 children aged 8-10 participating in a 12-week intervention program. Data were collected from recorded storytelling sessions and the children’s written and illustrated narratives. The analysis focused on identifying recurring themes, character arcs, and plot resolutions indicative of resilience strategies. Results. The analysis revealed that children’s narratives progressively incorporated themes of overcoming adversity, seeking social support, and positive self-talk. Characters in their stories demonstrated increased agency and problem-solving skills, shifting from narratives of distress to narratives of hope and coping. Conclusion. Storytelling interventions provide a powerful platform for children to articulate, process, and integrate concepts of emotional resilience. The narrative process enables the externalization of internal struggles and the rehearsal of adaptive coping mechanisms, positioning storytelling as a valuable component of primary school mental health support.

Abstract

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is recognized as an important factor that enhances organizational effectiveness by encouraging employees to perform discretionary behaviors beyond their formal job responsibilities. Previous studies have demonstrated that work engagement and organizational commitment contribute to employees' willingness to exhibit OCB; however, empirical evidence remains limited in post-pandemic organizational settings. This study aimed to examine the influence of work engagement and organizational commitment on Organizational Citizenship Behavior among employees. A quantitative causal-comparative research design was employed involving 92 permanent employees selected through simple random sampling from a population of 125 employees. Data were collected using standardized psychological scales measuring Organizational Citizenship Behavior, Work Engagement, and Organizational Commitment. The collected data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after satisfying the assumptions of normality and linearity. The findings revealed that work engagement had a significant positive effect on Organizational Citizenship Behavior. Organizational commitment also significantly predicted Organizational Citizenship Behavior. Furthermore, the simultaneous analysis demonstrated that work engagement and organizational commitment jointly contributed significantly to Organizational Citizenship Behavior. These findings suggest that employees who demonstrate higher levels of work engagement and stronger organizational commitment are more likely to perform voluntary behaviors that support organizational effectiveness beyond their formal job requirements. The study highlights the importance of fostering employees' psychological attachment to both their work and organization through supportive human resource practices to encourage positive extra-role behaviors and improve organizational performance.
