Abstract

Teachers in remote schools often experience psychological stress and professional burnout due to limited resources, heavy workloads, and lack of psychosocial support, which negatively affect both teacher well-being and learning quality. This community service program aims to enhance teachers’ mental well-being and professionalism through a Tech-Based Psychosocial Mentoring Innovation, supporting SDGs 3, 4, and 8, as well as University Key Performance Indicators (IKU) 3 and 7 by empowering educators in low-resource settings. The program was implemented in three stages: preparation (needs assessment, development of the “Healthy Teacher” psychosocial module, and creation of a Google Site–based Learning Management System), implementation (three-day training on stress management, emotional regulation, and reflective mentoring), and evaluation (using the WHO-5 Wellbeing Index, daily reflections, and focus group discussions). Results showed a significant improvement in teachers’ well-being, with WHO-5 scores increasing from moderate to good levels. Teachers also reported improved stress management, higher motivation, and stronger collegial support. The program produced ten psychoeducational videos, a digital LMS, and a sustainable reflective teacher community supported by two internal mentors. Overall, this innovation effectively enhanced teachers’ psychological well-being and professionalism in remote schools and can be replicated in other rural or low-resource educational settings to promote sustainable teacher well-being and school quality improvement.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the direct effects of organizational culture and organizational communication on the performance of lecturers in private higher education institutions offering Midwifery Study Programs in North Sumatra, Indonesia. A survey method with a path analysis approach was employed to analyze the relationships among the research variables. The study involved 172 lecturers, selected from a population of 310 permanent lecturers using the Isaac and Michael sampling formula. Data on organizational culture and organizational communication were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires, while lecturer performance was assessed through direct observation. The findings revealed that organizational culture had a positive direct effect on lecturer performance (p = 0.222), with innovation and risk-taking representing the strongest contributing dimension. Organizational communication also had a positive direct effect on lecturer performance (p = 0.181), with the relationship dimension providing the greatest contribution. These findings indicate that strengthening organizational culture through innovation and fostering effective organizational communication through positive interpersonal relationships can improve lecturer performance in private higher education institutions.
