Abstract

The study looks at the work-related motivation and dedication of educators and education staff in the Seventh-day Adventist Church Organization (SDA Church) in the Luwu Tanah Toraja Mission Area as indicators of their performance. The Seventh-day Adventist Church Organization (SDA Church) in the Luwu Tana Toraja Mission Area employs educators and education professionals, and the study examines their work-related motivation and dedication as performance indicators. This study found that motivation and commitment significantly predict the performance of educators and education personnel; however, motivation shows a more dominant influence compared to work commitment. These results support the importance of motivation and commitment in improving performance, although they only account for 16.9% of the variance. Further research is recommended to investigate other variables that affect performance and to expand the scope of the study.

Abstract

Generalized anxiety disorder is one of the most common anxiety disorders in society. The purpose of this study is to develop a diagnostic scale for generalized anxiety disorder because there is no self-report diagnostic tool for generalized anxiety disorder based on DSM-V and ICD-10 criteria in Indonesia. The research uses quantitative research. Respondents in the field test consisted of 210 adult respondents aged 18-65 years, moderate or had experienced anxiety, and were Indonesian citizens. This study provides the results that the overall anxiety disorder diagnostic scale has gone through the internal validity and internal reliability test stages and obtained valid and reliable results so that this measuring instrument has described the suitability of the measuring instrument construct with the data. Based on testing the average processing time of 6 respondents, it was obtained an average of approximately 5 minutes (2 minutes 4 seconds to 5 minutes 21 seconds). Scoring for each item that supports or is in accordance with the symptoms (favorable), namely Yes = 1 and No = 0. The scoring for each item that does not support the symptoms is Yes = 0 and No = 1. This measuring instrument is declared to have good validity and reliability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality and consumer trust on customer satisfaction in Sungai Bawang Cultural Village, Muara Badak District, Kutai Kartanegara Regency. The approach used is quantitative with correlational design and multiple linear regression analysis. Data was collected through a questionnaire distributed to 83 respondents. The results of the analysis show that 58.1% of the variation in consumer satisfaction can be explained by both independent variables. The F test shows that the quality of service and consumer trust simultaneously have a significant effect on consumer satisfaction. The t-test revealed that each independent variable also had a partially significant effect. These findings indicate that improving service quality and consumer trust can increase tourist satisfaction, thereby contributing to the sustainability of Sungai Bawang Cultural Village as a tourism destination. This research is expected to be a reference for tourism village managers in improving services and building trust to maximize the visitor experience.

Abstract

The transition from academic to professional life often creates psychological pressure for fresh graduates, particularly amidst intense job competition and post-pandemic economic uncertainty. Emotional intelligence (EQ) is believed to play a crucial role in helping individuals manage anxiety during this career transition. This study aims to analyze the relationship between emotional intelligence and work-related anxiety among fresh graduates at Company X. Using a quantitative correlational design with a cross-sectional approach, this research involved 230 fresh graduates selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using the Schutte Emotional Intelligence Scale (SEIS) and the Career Anxiety Scale (CAS), both of which have proven validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using Spearman's rho correlation test. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between EQ and anxiety (r = -0.437; p < 0.01), indicating that higher levels of emotional intelligence are associated with lower levels of anxiety. The majority of participants were categorized as having moderate EQ (71.7%) and moderate anxiety (53.9%). These findings confirm that emotional intelligence serves as a psychological resource that helps new graduates manage stress and uncertainty during career transitions. The practical implications suggest that organizations should integrate EQ-based interventions into orientation and training programs for new employees to enhance emotional resilience and work readiness among young workers. Keywords: emotional intelligence, fresh graduate, anxiety, career transition, work readiness

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between self-esteem and consumptive behavior among Generation Z users of the Shopee e-commerce platform in Cipondoh District, Tangerang City. Previous studies report inconsistent findings, with many emphasizing negative relationships in which low self-esteem drives impulsive or excessive consumption. Addressing this gap, the present study provides contextual evidence from a digitally intensive urban environment, where consumption functions as identity affirmation rather than emotional compensation. Using a quantitative cross-sectional design, data were collected from 407 Generation Z participants through accidental sampling. Self-esteem was measured with the Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventory (CSEI), and consumptive behavior was assessed with the Consumer Orientation Scale. Spearman’s rank correlation analysis revealed a positive and significant relationship between self-esteem and consumptive behavior (r = .274, p < .01), indicating a low-strength correlation. This finding suggests that higher self-esteem is associated with stronger consumptive tendencies, particularly through symbolic self-expression on digital marketplaces. However, the cross-sectional design and accidental sampling limit causal inference and generalizability. Future research should employ longitudinal designs, include mediating variables such as social media use or fear of missing out (FoMO), and compare multiple e-commerce platforms. Keywords: consumptive behaviour, self-esteem, Z generation

Abstract

Recent graduates face significant challenges during the transition to the workforce, which requires a strong adversity quotient (AQ). The purpose of the study is to evaluate social support and self-efficacy as determinants of recent graduates in Toraja, South Sulawesi. This study employed a quantitative correlational research design. The population consisted of fresh graduates residing in Toraja, with a total sample of 196 participants. Data were collected using the Adversity Quotient Scale, the General Self-Efficacy Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to test the simultaneous predictive effects of self-efficacy and social support on adversity quotient. The findings revealed that self-efficacy and social support simultaneously and significantly predicted the adversity quotient of fresh graduates. Both variables showed positive contributions, indicating that higher levels of self-efficacy and perceived social support were associated with higher levels of adversity quotient. These results underscore the combined importance of internal belief systems and external support networks in enhancing resilience among fresh graduates. The study provides empirical evidence from a specific regional context and highlights the need for interventions that strengthen both personal competence and social support systems during the transition to the workforce.
