Abstract

Social loafing is the tendency of individuals to reduce their contribution when they are in a group. This phenomenon reflects maladaptive personal characteristics, which ideally should not be exhibited by Guidance and Counseling students at a university in Malang City. This study aims to explore views, actions, and causal factors of social loafing from the perspective of personality development based on Gestalt counseling theory. The research method used a qualitative phenomenological approach and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. The results of the study show that social loafing is a reflection of maladaptive personality in Gestalt counseling theory. This is indicated by views related to an incomplete awareness of roles when working in a group. In addition, there is also evidence of behavior that is less motivated and responsible as part of a group. The causes of the social loafing phenomenon identified are a rigid self-image and failure to maintain values due to environmental influences. This research contributes to guidance and counseling, particularly in higher education, with considerations for implementing both preventive and corrective services related to social loafing. Furthermore, it can also serve as a reference for the education sector to provide a group work environment that reduces social loafing among members.

Abstract

Abstract: This research aims to reveal the dynamics of student behavior in the context of working on group assignments in the lecture environment. Through a qualitative approach, various patterns of student participation were found that reflected adaptation strategies to collective responsibility, procrastination tendencies, and social dependence. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation of student group activities in completing academic assignments. The results of the study showed that students tended to choose easy tasks, postpone work until they were close to the deadline, avoid leadership positions, and adjust the intensity of contributions based on the quality of group members. This phenomenon indicates the diffusion of social responsibility and efficiency strategies in the context of collaborative learning. This research provides implications for lecturers to design an assessment system and evaluation mechanism that fosters a sense of personal responsibility in group work. Keyword: Group Assignments, Student Participation, Procrastination, Social Dependence, Collective Responsibility Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap dinamika perilaku mahasiswa dalam konteks pengerjaan tugas kelompok di lingkungan perkuliahan. Melalui pendekatan kualitatif, ditemukan berbagai pola partisipasi mahasiswa yang mencerminkan strategi adaptasi terhadap tanggung jawab kolektif, kecenderungan prokrastinasi, serta ketergantungan sosial. Data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam dan observasi partisipatif terhadap aktivitas kelompok mahasiswa dalam menyelesaikan tugas akademik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa cenderung memilih tugas yang mudah, menunda pengerjaan hingga mendekati batas waktu, menghindari posisi kepemimpinan, serta menyesuaikan intensitas kontribusi berdasarkan kualitas anggota kelompok. Fenomena ini mengindikasikan adanya difusi tanggung jawab dan strategi efisiensi sosial dalam konteks pembelajaran kolaboratif. Penelitian ini memberikan implikasi bagi dosen untuk merancang sistem penilaian dan mekanisme evaluasi yang menumbuhkan rasa tanggung jawab personal dalam kerja kelompok. Kata kunci: Tugas Kelompok, Partisipasi Mahasiswa, Prokrastinasi, Ketergantungan Sosial, Tanggung Jawab Kolektif
