Abstract

This study aims to analyze the Subjective Well-Being (SWB) of kindergarten teachers in DKI Jakarta and its implications for the quality of early childhood education in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). We employed a quantitative descriptive approach, surveying a sample of 380 kindergarten teachers in DKI Jakarta. To measure aspects of self-satisfaction, positive affection, and negative affection, we utilized the Teacher Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (TSWQ). The results indicated that 68.6% of teachers reported a moderate level of SWB, while 16.2% fell into the low category and 15.2% exhibited a high level of SWB. These findings underscore the importance of subjective well-being for teachers, as it not only impacts their performance but also serves as a reference for fulfilling the SDGs in education. Teachers with a high SWB are likely to foster a more positive and high-quality learning environment, whereas those with low well-being may struggle in this regard. This study recommends enhancing social support, providing ongoing professional training, implementing performance awards, and promoting work-life balance as strategies to improve teacher SWB and support sustainable development in education

Abstract

This study aims to analyze gender-based differences in Employee Green Behavior (EGB) among Muslim employees. EGB refers to pro-environmental actions voluntarily undertaken by employees in support of environmental sustainability in the workplace. This study used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design and involved 226 Muslim respondents (111 men and 115 women) from various industrial sectors in Indonesia. The instrument used was a five-item EGB scale adapted from Norton et al. (2015), with a reliability of α = 0.83. Data analysis was conducted using an independent t-test to test differences in EGB scores based on gender. The results showed that there were significant differences in most dimensions of EGB, with female employees consistently showing higher scores than male employees. The largest difference was in the habit of bringing reusable cutlery/drinking utensils. This finding reflects the influence of gender identity and religiosity in shaping environmentally friendly behavior. The Islamic perspective that places humans as caliphs on earth is an important ethical foundation for Muslim employees in internalizing ecological responsibility. This study suggests the importance of developing sustainability programs that are sensitive to gender differences and religiosity, as well as the need for specific strategies to increase male employees' engagement in environmentally friendly behaviors in order to achieve organizational sustainability goals more inclusively and effectively.

Abstract

Mental health is a crucial aspect of an individual's overall well-being. Untreated mental health conditions, particularly unresolved past trauma or issues related to the "inner child," can significantly influence a person's current behavior and attitudes. The inner child refers to the part of the self that retains emotional experiences from childhood, including unfulfilled joys and unmet needs, which continue to impact adult life. Contributing factors to the development of the inner child include family environment, parent-child relationships, and early emotional experiences. A wounded inner child may manifest through symptoms such as frustration, exaggerated emotional reactions, childish outbursts, difficulty in expressing emotions, low self-esteem, immaturity, and fear of abandonment. This community service activity aimed to provide training for mothers experiencing high levels of negative inner child symptoms through the implementation of Butterfly Hug Therapy. Participants were selected based on their elevated negative inner child scores. The training involved both theoretical sessions and practical exercises in Butterfly Hug Therapy, which consists of crossing the arms over the chest and gently tapping the shoulders alternately. This self-soothing technique helps individuals achieve a sense of safety, allowing them to process emotional experiences effectively. Previous studies have demonstrated that Butterfly Hug Therapy can reduce anxiety levels across age groups, enhance self-awareness, and strengthen emotional regulation. The results of this program indicated a significant reduction in negative inner child symptoms among the participating mothers. These findings suggest that Butterfly Hug Therapy is an effective, non-pharmacological intervention for addressing unresolved childhood emotional issues. The therapy promotes emotional regulation and cognitive processing by stimulating brain regions associated with perception, evaluation, and emotional control, ultimately reducing psychological stress.

Abstract

Academic stress is a common experience among university students and significantly affects their emotional and psychological well-being. Emotion regulation, the ability to manage and respond to emotional experiences, is critical in coping with academic-related stressors. This study examines the correlation between academic stress and emotion regulation strategies among undergraduate students. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 350 students at Universitas Terbuka through standardized instruments: the Academic Stress Scale (ASS) and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), which measures cognitive reappraisal and expressive suppression. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between academic stress and cognitive reappraisal, and a significant positive correlation between academic stress and expressive suppression. These findings suggest that students who experience higher levels of academic stress are more likely to engage in maladaptive emotion regulation strategies. The study emphasizes the value of promoting adaptive emotional coping mechanisms to reduce stress and improve students’ academic and mental health outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze demographic and social factors that influence Subjective Wellbeing (SWB) of PAUD teachers in the archipelago. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, the research sample is 223 teachers. The sampling technique uses convenience sampling. The instrument used is the Teacher Subjective Wellbeing Questionnaire (TSWQ). The results showed that all demographic variables, namely age, gender, education level, and teaching experience, have a positive and significant relationship to SWB, with education level being the strongest predictor among demographic factors (r = 0.352**). Meanwhile, in social factors, the principal's leadership showed the highest correlation (r = 0.441**) to SWB, followed by co-worker support, community involvement, and relationships with students' parents. These findings indicate that teacher SWB is not only influenced by individual characteristics, but also by the quality of social interactions in the work environment and community. This study recommends the importance of strategies to improve teacher SWB through strengthening professional capacity and a supportive work environment.
