Abstract

This study investigated the influence of job demands and spirituality on employee engagement, focusing on Christian lecturers in Indonesia. The research is both timely and significant, as it offers a fresh perspective on the typically negative association between job demands and employee engagement. Contrary to conventional assumptions, the findings reveal that job demands can, in fact, enhance work engagement among Christian lecturers, particularly when accompanied by a strong sense of spirituality. Employing a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 200 lecturers selected through purposive sampling. Employee engagement was measured using the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale, while job demands and spirituality were assessed using established and validated instruments. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results demonstrated that job demands had a positive effect on employee engagement, indicating that greater work demands were linked to higher levels of engagement. This finding offers a novel contribution, as it deviates from much of the prior literature. In alignment with the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, the study suggests that under certain conditions, job demands can be reinterpreted as challenges that stimulate motivation and foster engagement, particularly when supported by sufficient job resources. Furthermore, spirituality emerged as a significant predictor of employee engagement, underscoring the importance of meaning and purpose in strengthening lecturers’ dedication to their work. Overall, these findings affirm the JD-R model and highlight the need to balance job demands with both organizational and personal resources, including spiritual well-being. Future studies are encouraged to explore these dynamics across different religious contexts and consider other external factors influencing employee engagement.

Abstract

This research is experimental research using the A-B-A quasi-experimental single-case design method, carried out on a 19-year-old woman with complaints of fear and disgust at seeing objects/body parts with hollow patterns, or what is called trypophobia. The research aims to reduce the anxiety level of trypophobia sufferers when watching videos that display objects/bodies with a pattern of holes lasting 5 minutes. First, a behavior modification program is prepared before treatment is carried out and agreed upon with the research subjects. In this behavior modification program, new behavior is formed using two main techniques, namely exposure techniques and economic tokens. To measure the level of anxiety, this study used the distress unit scale (SUD) and an anxious behavior observation checklist. Measurements were carried out in three situations, namely baseline, treatment, and follow-up. Treatment is carried out every day with a total of 6 meetings. The SUD results changed from an anxiety level of 80-100 SUD at the baseline stage to 10 SUD after treatment. The results of observations listing changes in anxious behaviour are displayed in graphical form in three situations, which show a decrease in anxious behaviour. A checklist for observing the subject's comfortable behavior throughout the treatment was also carried out. The results showed significant changes in facial expressions and other body language, indicating that the subjects were able to feel more comfortable when watching the video. Thus, the behaviour modification program is effective in reducing the anxiety of trypophobia sufferers and is successful in forming new behaviour, namely from anxious behaviour to calmer/comfortable behaviour.
