Abstract

Background: Many institutions in Indonesia, including government agencies, require employees to work long hours, which can negatively affect their physical and mental well-being. Flexible work arrangements (FWAs) have been proposed as a potential solution to mitigate these impacts.Purpose: This study aims to explore Indonesian workers’ understanding, sentiments, and expectations regarding FWAs and assess their perceptions of current flexibility versus their expectations.Method: One hundred participants (38 males, 62 females) completed the study's online questionnaire. A qualitative text-mining approach was used to analyze open-ended survey responses to explore the meaning and sentiment of FWAs. Additionally, a closed-ended questionnaire assessed participants' perceptions of their current work flexibility and expectations for greater flexibility.Findings: Participants associated FWAs with the freedom to manage their work schedule and location according to their responsibilities and workload. Sentiment analysis revealed positive and hopeful attitudes, with participants expressing trust in FWAs’ potential benefits. Closed-ended data indicated that participants perceived their current work conditions as moderately flexible but desired even greater flexibility.Implication: The findings underscore the importance of FWAs for enhancing employee well-being and suggest actionable insights for policymakers and organizations seeking to implement or expand FWAs in Indonesia.

Abstract

The present study conceptualizes “Unity in Diversity” as a condition in which individuals’ ethnic and national identities are congruent. This condition is achievable by internalizing universal-diverse orientation. The authors provide support for this idea through a cross-sectional survey (N = 400), and observed a positive relationship between individuals’ ethnic and national identities among individuals with high universal-diverse orientation. Such a relationship was absent among individuals with low universal-diverse orientation. Based on the results, the authors recommend socializing universal-diverse orientation to promote a sense of “Unity in Diversity” among individuals within a multicultural society, such as that of Indonesia. Studi ini mengonseptualisasi “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” sebagai kondisi ketika terdapat keselarasan identitas suku bangsa dan nasional seorang individu. Kondisi ini bisa dicapai melalui internalisasi universal-diverse orientation. Penulis menyediakan data yang mendukung konsep ini melalui survei cross-sectional (N = 400), dan menemukan hubungan positif antara identitas suku bangsa dan identitas nasional pada individu dengan universal-diverse orientation tinggi. Hubungan ini tidak ditemukan pada individu dengan universal-diverse orientation rendah. Berdasarkan temuan ini, penulis merekomendasikan upaya sosialisasi universal-diverse orientation untuk menguatkan rasa “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika” pada individu dalam masyarakat multikultur layaknya Indonesia.
