Abstract

Maritime vocational education commonly evaluates cadet competence through academic examinations, seamanship assessments, and English communication proficiency, while physical fitness, mental well-being, and cognitive load management receive comparatively limited attention as integrated dimensions of career readiness. This study examined the relationships among physical fitness, mental well-being, cognitive load, and career readiness among Nautika cadets and evaluated an eight-week integrated wellness programme. A two-phase sequential design was employed. In Phase 1, data were collected from 180 Nautika cadets at three Jakarta-area maritime institutions using the 20-metre shuttle run test for estimated VO₂max, the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9), the Paas Cognitive Load Questionnaire, and the Maritime Career Readiness Inventory (MCRI). In Phase 2, 90 cadets were randomly assigned to intervention (n=45) and waitlist control (n=45) groups. Baseline findings indicated that 61.1% of cadets had VO₂max values below 38 ml/kg/min, 28.3% reported at least mild depressive symptoms, and 47.2% reported high cognitive load during bridge simulation. Career readiness was significantly associated with VO₂max (r=0.61, p<0.001), PHQ-9 scores (r=-0.58, p<0.001), and cognitive load (r=-0.54, p<0.001). Following the intervention, the intervention group demonstrated significantly higher career readiness than the control group (F(1,87)=24.83, p<0.001, η²=0.222). The findings indicate that maritime career readiness should be addressed as an integrated academic, physical, psychological, and cognitive construct. Maritime vocational institutions should incorporate structured physical training, progressive simulation design, and psychological skills development into Nautika education.

Abstract

The transition of experienced seafarers into shore-based educational and supervisory roles remains a critical yet underexplored area of maritime human resource management. This study examines the career transition pathways, institutional support structures, and competency gaps that affect veteran officers transitioning into shore-based roles at Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Pelayaran (STIP) Jakarta, Indonesia. A qualitative multi-stakeholder methodology was employed, involving 71 respondents, including veteran officers, former seafarer-lecturers, cadets, management lecturers, industry practitioners, and former senior transportation officials. Thematic analysis and cross-group comparisons reveal that while veteran officers bring substantial operational expertise to the institution, significant barriers—such as insufficient pedagogical training, unclear role definitions, and lack of structured career development frameworks—hinder their full professional integration and limit their contributions. The study proposes a competency-based transition framework that addresses current eco-digital maritime transformation demands and offers practical recommendations for enhancing Indonesian maritime human resource governance. This framework aims to better support veteran officers in adapting to shore-based educational and supervisory roles, contributing to broader institutional reform and fostering greater synergy between maritime industry needs and educational institutions.
