Abstract

Grit defined as persistence and passion for achieving long-term goals, has received increasing attention in psychology research due to its association with academic achievement, career, and resilience. Although the Grit-O Scale developed by Angela Duckworth (2007) has been widely used internationally, validated instruments for measuring grit in Indonesian cultural and linguistic contexts are still limited. Therefore, adapting and examining the psychometric properties of such scales is important to ensure their suitability for research and assessment in Indonesia. This research aims to adapt the Grit-O Scale of Angela Duckworth (2007) into the context of Indonesian culture and language. The study involved 153 respondents between the ages of 18 and over 28. The adaptation process is carried out through several stages: (1) translation, (2) synthesis, (3) back translate, (4) readability test, and (5) finalization. Reliability testing was performed using Omega McDonald and stratified alpha composites, while construct validity was checked using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The results showed that the adapted scale showed high reliability, with a value of 0.850, and a validity indicating good two-factor model conformity, with RMSEA = 0.043, CFI = 0.990, SRMR = 0.068, and TLI = 0.987. These findings provide preliminary evidence that the Indonesian version of the Grit-O Scale demonstrates acceptable reliability and validity for use in the Indonesian context.

Abstract

Gender discrimination in the workplace remains a persistent issue in the education sector, where female teachers continue to experience unequal treatment that affects their professional roles and personal well-being. This study aims to explore female teachers’ lived experiences of gender discrimination, focusing on how they perceive and navigate gender bias, the impacts of discrimination on their professional and personal lives, and the coping strategies they employ. Using a phenomenological approach, this study applied Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to in-depth data collected through semi-structured interviews with three female teachers. The findings reveal multiple dimensions of gender discrimination in the school environment, including its underlying causes, psychoemotional impacts, limited institutional support, the role of the work environment, participants’ expectations for change, and strategies used to cope with discriminatory practices. From the perspective of positive psychology, the results indicate that gender discrimination undermines subjective well-being and constrains the development of individual potential. Female teachers largely rely on personal resilience and peer support in the absence of systematic organizational protection. The novelty of this study lies in its phenomenological examination of gender discrimination by foregrounding female teachers’ subjective experiences within the educational workplace, thereby offering a holistic understanding of discrimination that integrates structural, emotional, and coping dimensions. The study underscores the urgent need for changes in institutional mindsets, organizational structures, and workplace cultures, as well as the implementation of gender-sensitive policies and practices to foster inclusive, supportive, and gender-equitable educational environments.
