Abstract

This study aims to explore the different perspectives on the conception of happiness of Indonesians, Indians, and Americans. This study employs an exploratory qualitative approach using thematic data analysis with NVivo 12. Using purposive sampling, individual interviews were conducted with 7 participants aged between 25 to 50 years old. This study discerns divergent themes in happiness among three cultures, with notable similarities between Indonesians and Indians. Both cultures exhibit a pronounced emphasis on social ties and personal development and achievement. Additionally, religious and spiritual practices, positive outlook, and self-expression consistently emerge as significant factors shaping happiness in these cultures. Despite these similarities, each culture showed different contexts. In contrast, Americans showcase distinctive themes, prioritizing nature-connectedness, exploration, and autonomy which includes self-reliance. These findings underscore the pivotal role of cultural context in shaping perspectives on happiness, emphasizing the necessity for culturally tailored interventions to enhance happiness across diverse populations.

Abstract

Amid unstable funding and high rates of business failure, Indonesia’s start-up ecosystem increasingly depends on employees’ innovative work behavior. Yet, the psychological mechanisms that drive such behavior remain underexplored in start-up-focused research. This study aims to examine the direct and indirect relationships between subjective well-being, job insecurity, and transformational leadership on innovative work behavior among start-up employees in Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 421 start-up employees. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with a disjoint two-stage approach to address the hierarchical construct structure. The results indicate that job insecurity does not have a direct effect on innovative work behavior, whereas transformational leadership shows a significant direct effect. Additionally, subjective well-being serves as a mediator in the relationship between both job insecurity and transformational leadership with innovative work behavior. However, transformational leadership does not moderate the relationship between job insecurity and innovative work behavior. The findings suggest that organizations should develop policies or interventions that strengthen subjective well-being and transformational leadership as strategic efforts to enhance innovative work behavior among employees in start-up environments.
