Abstract

Prioritising mental well-being in the workplace helps promote a productive and healthy working environment. Stress is one of the main determinants of mental well-being in employees. Stress caused by daily challenges at work will impact mental well-being. In modern times, there is an increasing acceptance of stressful conditions and mental health issues. Mindfulness is one of the ways to improve mental well-being and buffer stress in employees. This study examines the effect of mindfulness on mental well-being by considering the mediating role of perceived stress in employees working on a shift system. This study is motivated by the high risk of mental health disorders in shift workers due to irregular work patterns, high workload, and lack of recovery time. This study used three psychological instruments: the mindfulness scale (FFMQ), the perceived stress scale (PSS), and the mental well-being scale (WEMWBS), including 540 respondents from company X in Medan City, and using the SEM-PLS 4.0 method. The results showed that mindfulness significantly improved mental well-being (β=.388, p<.005) and reduced perceived stress (β=-.493, p<.005), whereas perceived stress was shown to decrease mental well-being (β=-.174, p<.05). The crucial finding showed that perceived stress was a partial mediator (β=.086, p<.05). Theoretically, this study enriches the literature by confirming the mediating mechanism of perceived stress within the framework of mindfulness and mental well-being, particularly in the underrepresented population of shift workers in previous studies. In practical terms, the results suggest three programme modifications that companies can implement: (1) a corporate well-being programme that includes mental health interventions specifically for shift workers, (2) a mobile application with brief interventions for stress management during shifts, and (3) a shift rotation system tailored to workers' natural productive time tendencies (chronotype).

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of self-compassion on mental health, with emotion regulation as a mediator variable. Adolescents experience rapid physical, cognitive, emotional and psychological changes in themselves that have the potential to cause mental health problems. The key to success in maintaining mental health is learning to be kind and compassionate to oneself, especially in stressful and difficult situations, or self-compassion. Self-compassion plays an important role in mental health outcomes, where self-compassion will include the emotion regulation component, helping individuals to face and understand negative emotions as adaptive coping. Effective emotion regulation will shape healthy adolescents, so it is suggested that emotion regulation may mediate the influence of self-compassion on mental health. This research uses quantitative methods and was conducted on 574 high school students in Medan, aged 14-19 years. The instruments used were the Warwick Edinburg Mental Wellbeing Scale (WEMWBS), the Self-Compassion Scale, and the Emotion Regulation Scale. The results of the mediation analysis using PLS-SEM4 show that emotion regulation significantly mediates the influence between self-compassion and mental health (T-statistic = 3.694 > 1.96 and P-values = .000 < .05). The results showed that emotion regulation plays a partial role in the effect of self-compassion on mental health. Adolescents who practise self-compassion will try to develop positive thinking skills and reduce the pressure and tension resulting from negative emotions, which will ultimately improve their mental health.
