Abstract

What does being a student of Psychology in Universitas Pembangunan Jaya (UPJ) mean to you? This question was given to 33 students-cum-participants of this research. The background was that academic social identity – defined as how individuals identify to their academic institutions and/or subject areas they undertake during the time spent throughout their educational process – is key to their achievements. The objective was to understand the academic social identity of UPJ Department of Psychology students, particularly those who took Qualitative Research Method course in 2019/2020 Academic Year, to better understand their trajectories. This writing used qualitative research method with youth participatory action approach, applying photovoice as data collecting method, which produced visual and textual data analyzed from interpretative phenomenological perspective. The result showed that their academic social identity comprised of the following stages: understanding what Psychology is, their own personal and non-personal reasons to choose this discipline and then understanding their roles as students – both in Department Psychology and in UPJ. Discussion touched upon the stage that seemed to be particularly painstaking: understanding their roles as students – opening doors to provide student service supports to ensure smoother transition. It was concluded that academic social identity is a never-ending process.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS), psychological safety climate (PSC), and psychological empowerment (PE) among Generation Z employees. While previous literature emphasizes the importance of team-based psychological safety in fostering empowerment, this study investigates whether organizational-level support may play a more dominant role for Gen Z workers. A cross-sectional quantitative design was used, involving 403 Gen Z employees from various sectors in Indonesia. Data were collected through self-report questionnaires and analyzed using structural equation modeling in JASP. The results revealed that POS had a strong and significant direct effect on PE (β = 0.518, p < .001). POS also significantly predicted PSC (β = 0.586, p < .001), but the mediating role of PSC was not supported, as the path from PSC to PE was not statistically significant (β = 0.114, p = .054). These findings suggest that Gen Z employees are more empowered by structural support and responsive leadership than by psychological safety within team interactions. The study contributes to the evolving understanding of Gen Z in the workplace and offers practical implications for designing more effective empowerment strategies.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of work passion as a psychological mechanism linking psychological empowerment and voice behavior among Gen Z employees. A cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 360 respondents using validated measures of psychological empowerment, work passion, and voice behavior. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was employed to examine both the direct and indirect relationships among the variables. The findings indicate that psychological empowerment positively predicts voice behavior. In addition, work passion partially mediates the relationship between psychological empowerment and voice behavior, suggesting that empowerment may foster voice behavior not only directly but also through the development of stronger motivational attachment to work. These findings highlight the importance of fostering internal motivation to support empowerment-driven voice behavior among young professionals. This study contributes to the literature on motivation and voice behavior while also offering practical implications for organizations seeking to create supportive work environments for Gen Z employees.
