Abstract

The growth of the trading and distributor industry in Indonesia has created a highly competitive climate, requiring salespersons to demonstrate adaptive and innovative performance. This study aims to examine the influence of Psychological Capital (PsyCap) on the Job Performance of salespersons at PT SI, an industrial equipment distributor in Cikarang currently facing challenges related to declining performance and fluctuating sales targets. The research design employs a quantitative approach utilizing a census method (saturated sampling), involving 31 salespersons as respondents due to the relatively small population size. The research instruments employed were the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ) to measure the dimensions of hope, self-efficacy, resilience, and optimism, and the Individual Work Performance Framework (IWPQ) to assess task performance, contextual performance, and counterproductive work behavior. Data analysis was conducted using simple linear regression to predict the influence of the independent variable on the dependent variable. This study is expected to provide empirical insights into the importance of employees' internal psychological aspects in sustaining performance amidst the pressures of the Business to Business (B2B) industry, and serves as a foundation for management to design HR capacity-building strategies that do not rely solely on financial incentives.

Abstract

The phenomenon of student dropout is generally associated with financial difficulties. However, some individuals decide to discontinue their studies despite having adequate family financial conditions, indicating that such decisions are more strongly influenced by psychological, academic, and social factors. This study aims to explore the experience of family support among early adults who decided to drop out of higher education without financial constraints. This research employed a qualitative approach using Moustakas' (1994) transcendental phenomenological design. Participants were selected through purposive sampling, consisting of individuals aged 18–25 years who had experienced undergraduate dropout, whose decision was not primarily caused by financial problems, and who received support from their families. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using Moustakas' phenomenological analysis procedures. The findings revealed four major themes: (1) dropout as an experience initially faced alone, (2) family acceptance that developed through a process of emotional adaptation, (3) family support perceived through everyday care and attention, and (4) family support that helped individuals rebuild hope after dropping out. The findings indicate that family support is perceived not through the amount of material assistance provided, but through the experience of being accepted, trusted, and continuously treated as a valued member of the family. Such support plays a significant role in facilitating psychological recovery and post-dropout adaptation. Keywords: family support, dropout, early adulthood, phenomenology, psychological recovery.
