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

Abstract

Psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions have been recognized as influential factors in the bereavement process, studies integrating these components into a unified model of Psycho-Social-Spiritual Well-Being remain limited, particularly within the Indonesian cultural context. This study aimed to examine the relationship between Psycho-Social-Spiritual Well-Being and bereavement responses among adults who experienced the loss of significant others. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 204 adults in the Ex-Residency of Semarang. Data were collected using the Adult Attitude to Grief Scale (AAG) and the National Institutes of Health–Healing Experience in All Life Stressors (NIH-HEALS). Because grief data were not normally distributed, Spearman’s rho correlation analysis was conducted. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between Psycho-Social-Spiritual Well-Being and bereavement responses r = –.236; p = .001. The majority of participants were categorized as moderate in Psycho-Social-Spiritual Well-Being (70.6%) and bereavement responses (66.2%). These findings indicate that Psycho-Social-Spiritual Well-Being functions as a protective factor in bereavement adjustment. Implications highlight the importance of developing counseling interventions integrating meaning-centered approaches, social support enhancement, and spiritual dimensions to strengthen adaptive coping among bereaved individuals. Keywords: adult adaptation, bereavement, grief, psycho-social-spiritual well-being, spiritual coping
