Abstract

Materialism is related to financial individuals who judge all things need material. The nature of people like this exist in today's era, which assesses a success comes from the acquisition of wealth, social status and welfare of life. Although this is contrary to moral life, there are still many people who pursue it. Internal and external factors exist in human life related to the existence of materialism. Self satisfaction and individual life goals are internal factors that exist within the individual. Materialistic people will feel satisfied through acquisition of possessions, financial success, attaining status and having the right image. This perception is negatively correlated with well-being, even so they believe that their life goals will be achieved through materialism. Environmental, social and social media influences that are external factors in an individual can provide a tendency to influence one's behavior. The recognition of social status based on wealth will have an impact on materialism that will be difficult to escape from his life. The hedonist lifestyle and corruption are the effects of this growing materialism. However, to prevent or overcome these behavioral problems, it is necessary to strengthen morality and spiritual values that can be obtained from various sources such as the Qur'an, the Bible or research that can be trusted to provide solutions to these problems.

Abstract

Graduate employability has received considerable attention over the years, owing to the labor market’s desire for highly skilled graduates. This study was to examine trends in graduate employability research from 1986 to 2020 through the use of a standard bibliometric procedure. During the study period, as many 343 documents were yielded from the Scopus database. The findings indicated that the relative growth rate of published article was 69 documents per year on average. Geographically, the United Kingdom ranked first as the most productive country, with 104 articles published. Between 2000-2010, the employability topic focused primarily on the role of higher education in providing appropriate career guidance and strategy development for graduates from both public and private institutions seeking employment. Between 2011-2019, the focus shifted to employability skills, work-integrated learning, and curriculum designs that are connected to the long-term enhancement of graduate employability and its impact on career goals. The findings of this study indicate a significant increase in graduate employability literature, as well as a significant number of citations. Academic researchers are encouraged to pursue development strategies that result in successful graduates finding employment in the labor market. This paper is innovative in that it identifies a trend and future for research in the field of employability.

Abstract

Individuals who become pregnant out-of-wedlock require special attention because previous studies have shown that this group is prone to depression and cognitive distortion, which can have an impact on their psychological and life development. Therefore, this article discusses the process of development, validation, and reliability testing of the cognitive behavioral module (modul kognitif tingkah laku/MKT) to manage depression and cognitive distortion of out-of-wedlock pregnant trainees in one of the women’s shelters in Malaysia. This module contains four sub-modules, namely, psychoeducational, behavioral strategies, cognitive strategies and retention of productive behavior that have been developed using the cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) approach. The validation level assessed by seven expert panels indicated the validity value of the module content was .93. Meanwhile, the reliability test conducted using a questionnaire showed a reliability coefficient of .97. This article demonstrates how a systematic procedure can be used to develop and validate an effective module of depression and cognitive distortion before it can be administered in actual studies. The findings also prove that the MKT module can be applied by counselors or psychological officers to the problems of depression and cognitive distortion experienced by out-of-wedlock pregnant trainees in shelters.

Abstract

This study aimed to identify the effects of the Career Readiness Module on career self-efficacy and its subscales, namely self-appraisal, occupational information, goal selection, planning and problem solving among university students. The randomized pretest-posttest control group were used in this study. A total of 60 second year students from the School of Computing, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, were selected as research subjects using random cluster sampling. Both groups completed the Career Decision Self-Efficacy–Short Form (CDSE-SF) and the Big Five Inventory (BFI) questionnaires before and after the two-month intervention sessions. Data were analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science version 23.0. The repeated-measures ANOVA and effect size were used to test the hypotheses of study. The study results showed significant differences in the experimental group for career self-efficacy and each of its subscale between pre-test, post-test 1, and post-test 2 at the p≤.05 significant level. This study also demonstrated the significance of implementing the Career Readiness Module among university students prior to graduation in order to improve their career self-efficacy.
