Abstract

Becoming a successful entrepreneur is a highly coveted achievement, as the profession offers independence, financial stability, and room for growth. However, an interesting phenomenon arises when an established entrepreneur chooses to step out of their comfort zone and enter the world of politics. This situation raises questions about the factors that drive such a career change. This study aims to examine the political motivations of the elected mayor of Sungai Penuh City and to understand the reasons that led him to leave the comfort of his previous profession to enter the political arena. This study uses a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach and uses data analysis techniques according to Miles, Huberman & Saldana, which consists of 3 stages, namely data condensation, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data collection for this study was carried out in 3 in-depth interview sessions with the elected mayor of Sungai Penuh. This study found three major themes consisting of several sub-themes. The first major theme is competence, which consists of experience and skills. The second is calling, which includes social support, altruism, achievement motivation, and self-confidence. The third is self-sacrifice, which consists of resilience, values, emotional regulation, integrity, strategy, challenge, problem solving, and role conflict.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the concept of bacaruik—a form of profanity in the Minangkabau language that includes vulgar references to female genitalia—as used in the daily life of communities in West Sumatra. Utilizing a qualitative approach grounded in Indigenous Psychology, data were collected through an open-ended online questionnaire completed by 176 native West Sumatran respondents (102 female, 74 male). Thematic analysis revealed that bacaruik is most frequently used as an outlet for emotional expression, particularly in situations of anger (80 respondents) and frustration (50 respondents), with 80.33% linking its usage to emotional contexts. Affectively, 60.67% reported experiencing negative emotions after using bacaruik, with the highest proportion among women (67.92%), while 24.71% felt relief or satisfaction, predominantly among men (33.33%). Although the majority (67.97%)—especially women (99.05%)—perceived bacaruik as useless, a minority (32.02%), almost entirely male, regarded it as beneficial for self-expression, strengthening social bonds, and defusing tension. These findings highlight a cultural paradox between Minangkabau customary norms, such as Kato nan Ampek, and everyday social practices. They also underscore bacaruik as a complex psychosociolinguistic phenomenon, reflecting the interplay of emotional dynamics, gender norms, and the negotiation of cultural values in contemporary society.
