Abstract

In an era of increasingly fierce competition, work development, and ever-increasing demands, maintaining employees’ work-life balance has become a strategic imperative for every company. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction in employees of PT Paguntaka Cahaya Nusantara Ambon branch. This study used a quantitative, correlational approach. Data were collected through distributing scales to 234 employees selected using an accidental sampling technique. The data obtained is analysed using Pearson’s correlation analysis. The results of this study indicate a positive and significant relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction (r = .470, p < .01). The greater the perceived balance between work and personal life, the higher employees’ job satisfaction. This finding underscores the importance of company policies in supporting employees’ work-life balance to increase job satisfaction, which, in turn, will contribute to productivity, employee retention, and overall organisational performance. Keywords: work-life balance, job satisfaction, employees

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.

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

Research on the relation between happiness and work productivity has predominantly been conducted in urban private-sector settings, whereas studies focusing on civil servants in underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost regions (3T areas) such as West Halmahera remain limited. This study aims to examine the relationship between happiness and work productivity among administrative civil servants at Office X in West Halmahera. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional correlational design was employed, involving 97 administrative employees selected through probability sampling based on the Krejcie and Morgan sample size table from a total population of 130 employees. Data were collected using the Oxford Happiness Questionnaire (OHQ) and the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire (IWPQ), and analyzed using Pearson’s product–moment correlation. The findings revealed a very strong and statistically significant positive relation between happiness and work productivity (r = 0.803; p < 0.001). In addition, 100% of respondents were categorized as having high levels of happiness, and 99% demonstrated high levels of work productivity. These findings contribute to the development of industrial and organizational psychology literature within the public sector, particularly in 3T regions, and provide practical implications for local governments in designing strategies to enhance employee happiness and productivity in public service delivery. Keywords: civil servants, happiness, public service, work productivity, 3T regions

Abstract

Although the relationship between job satisfaction and work engagement has been widely studied, empirical evidence in the public sector within underdeveloped, frontier, and outermost (3T) regions remains limited. This gap is particularly evident in West Halmahera, a region with geographical challenges that may influence the work experiences of civil servants. This study aims to examine the relationship between job satisfaction and work engagement among civil servants at Office X, West Halmahera. The study employed a quantitative correlational approach with a cross-sectional design, involving 341 civil servants selected through purposive sampling with a minimum of two years of work experience as the criterion. Data were collected using the Job Satisfaction Survey (JSS) and the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale-9 (UWES-9). Because the data were not normally distributed, Spearman’s rho correlation analysis was used. The results indicated a significant positive relationship between job satisfaction and work engagement (r = .321; p < .001), with the strength of the relationship ranging from weak to moderate. Descriptively, most respondents were in the high category of job satisfaction (56.3%) and high work engagement (83.6%). These findings are expected to contribute to the development of industrial and organizational psychology literature in the public sector, particularly within the context of 3T regions. Keywords: job satisfaction, public sector, work engagement, 3T region
