Abstract

A comprehensive solution through an integrated strategic management approach, focusing on these four elements can be optimized simultaneously. Legal protection, training, and improving working conditions and safety culture will create a safer and more productive environment, realizing optimal mental health performance and seafarer quality. Quantitative approach through Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) with the help of AMOS software. Data were obtained from a survey involving 280 seafarers, shipping company managers, and industry regulators. The AMOS SEM analysis technique evaluated the direct and indirect relationships between the variables. Legal protection, training, working conditions, and safety culture have a significant influence on the mental health and quality of Indonesian seafarers. Structural model analysis showed a good fit to the data and interactions between variables. The findings support implementing integrated management strategies to improve seafarers' well-being and performance in the shipping industry.

Abstract

The mental health and overall quality of seafarers are critical to the safety and efficiency of maritime operations. This study investigates the factors influencing the quality of Indonesian seafarers, with a particular focus on mental health as a mediating variable. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS), we analyzed data from 280 respondents, including skippers and crew members working on Indonesian flagged ships. The study examines the impact of working conditions, recruitment and placement, training and development, and safety culture on seafarer quality, both directly and indirectly through mental health. Our findings indicate that mental health significantly mediates the relationship between these factors and the quality of seafarers. Training and development emerged as the most influential factor, followed by safety culture, recruitment and placement, and working conditions. The results emphasize the importance of enhancing mental health support to improve working conditions, recruitment processes, training initiatives, and safety culture, thereby increasing productivity and the overall quality of seafarers. This research addresses an empirical gap by providing practical strategies to improve Indonesian seafarers' quality and job stability in the global maritime industry. Future research should expand the geographic scope and explore additional factors affecting seafarer quality and mental health.
