Abstract

Vocational aptitude and interest are the fundamental factors that education and career counselors utilize to provide suggestions to clients. These concepts are often considered as separate constructs. However, aptitude and interest are interrelated and should both be considered when making career decisions. This study involved as many as 343 university students as participants. Two measurement tools were used: Employee Aptitude Survey (EAS) to measure aptitude and Self-Directed Search (SDS) Holland to measure vocational interest. The data were analyzed using canonical and Pearson product-moment correlation analysis. The findings show that there is a correlation between several types of interest and several types of aptitude. Vocational interest that has the strongest correlation with aptitude was the investigative interest, while the numerical aptitude test has the strongest correlation with interest. In the process of career decision-making, particularly for university students, both aptitude and interest must be taken into consideration, especially the investigative interest and numerical aptitude.

Abstract

Job search anxiety in Indonesia has increased during and after the pandemic due to the ongoing economic and business situation. Internal factors are considered to be key influencers affecting this anxiety, including self-regulation and self-concept. This research aims to explore the relationship between self-regulation, self-concept, and job search anxiety among higher education graduates. The study involved 200 participants characterized by a minimum of a D3 education level, graduated between 2021-2022, and currently in the process of their first job search. Employing a quantitative approach, the research utilized three scales: self-regulation scale, self-concept scale, and job search anxiety scale, analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that self-regulation and self-concept simultaneously contribute to job search anxiety. This study suggests the importance of simultaneously strengthening self-concept and self-regulation in preparing graduating students to minimize arising levels of anxiety, ultimately aiding them in achieving their desired career and job objectives.

Abstract

As human resources, employees play an essential role in maintaining customer satisfaction, quality, and professionalism. One factor that plays a role in increasing job satisfaction is the quality of work life. Employees with low quality of work life tend to experience decreased job satisfaction, which ultimately impacts work productivity. This study examines the role of quality of work life in improving job satisfaction among employees in retail companies. The study used a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique and involved 82 respondents. The instruments used comprised a quality of work-life scale (26 items) and a job satisfaction scale (30 items). The results showed a positive relationship between quality of work life and job satisfaction, with a significance value of 0.383 and an effectiveness contribution of 27.9% (r² = 0.279). This finding shows that the better the quality of work life perceived by employees, the higher the level of job satisfaction they experience in a retail company environment.

Abstract

Various studies on educational approaches explore the solution to fill the gap between education and society's demands. Specifically in the engineering field, addressing this gap is particularly urgent because previous research indicated that engineering graduates experienced this problem more frequently. On the other hand, our community needs them since engineering is the driver of innovation and community change. Community-based projects, combining community-based research and project-based learning approaches, are potential approaches to meet this purpose, although more research is needed. This study aims to explore students' experiences while involved in community-based projects, including the processes, experiences, feelings, and values obtained during the project. This study used a qualitative approach using an open-ended questionnaire and interviews with 39 engineering students. The results of the study show three main stages in a community-based project in the field of engineering and positive results in terms of cognitive, affective, skills, and values. The dynamics of the process and the potential for community-based project development are provided in the discussion and conclusion section.
