Abstract

Psychological interventions play a crucial role in addressing mental health disorders, particularly anxiety and depression. This study examines the effectiveness of various intervention strategies, including cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness techniques, and digital interventions. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases such as Scopus and Google Scholar, with inclusion criteria focusing on studies published in the last five years. Findings indicate that structured psychological interventions significantly reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Digital interventions, particularly internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy, demonstrate high accessibility and effectiveness, though challenges such as dropout rates and varying responses persist. Social support and personalized approaches further enhance intervention outcomes. The study highlights the importance of integrating mental health services into broader healthcare systems, particularly in resource-limited settings. Policy recommendations include expanding mental health access, training professionals, and implementing culturally tailored interventions. Future research should explore long-term efficacy, optimize digital therapy engagement, and refine personalized treatment strategies. Enhancing accessibility and integrating evidence-based psychological interventions will be key to addressing global mental health challenges.

Abstract

Start-ups are known for their dynamic and flexible work environments, but such flexibility often comes with high workloads and intense expectations. This study investigates employee perceptions of workplace culture in Indonesian start-ups, focusing on flexibility, leadership, work-life balance, and well-being. Using a qualitative case study approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with HR professionals, executives, and employees across various start-ups. Thematic analysis identified key themes, including the dual role of flexibility as both an advantage and a challenge, the significant influence of leadership on employee satisfaction, and persistent difficulties in maintaining work-life balance. Findings indicate that while flexibility enhances innovation and employee autonomy, excessive workload and unclear boundaries often lead to stress and burnout. Leadership style plays a crucial role, as supportive leaders contribute to a positive culture, whereas high-pressure environments can negatively impact well-being. The study highlights the need for structured policies that promote both performance and employee well-being. These insights contribute to the broader understanding of start-up workplace dynamics and suggest that future research should explore cross-industry comparisons and the long-term effects of work stress in start-ups.
