Abstract

This study aims to investigate the direct and indirect relationship between experience as a victim, observation, and microaggression statements with Bugis regional microaggression behavior moderated by aspects of understanding microaggression in South Sulawesi. The study population was all Bugis students in South Sulawesi enrolled in the 2019/2020 academic year at public and private universities. The purposive sampling method was used to select 207 students who met the inclusion criteria. The instruments used consisted of adaptations of the Racial Microaggression Scale (RMAS) and the Bugis-South Sulawesi Regional Microaggression Scale. The results of data analysis using path analysis showed that experience as a victim of microaggression has a significant direct influence on Bugis regional microaggression behavior. Observation of microaggression also acts as a significant factor in reinforcing microaggression behavior. However, microaggression statements do not have a significant direct influence on microaggression behavior. Understanding of microaggression did not play a significant moderating role in the relationship between exogenous variables and microaggression behavior. These results demonstrate the complexity of the microaggression behavior phenomenon and suggest that there is a cycle to microaggression behavior that is similar to bullying. This cycle involves the roles of perpetrator, victim, bystander. Microaggression and bullying behaviors, although having different forms and expressions of behavior, have in common the impact of demeaning, harming, or discriminating against the victim and tend to occur repeatedly and consistently against the victim, reinforcing the cycle of microaggression behavior.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of social media usage among university students has raised significant concerns about its psychological effects, particularly in relation to self-esteem and the development of narcissistic behavior. As students spend more time engaging with social media platforms, behaviors such as seeking validation through "likes" and comments or frequently uploading self-promoting content have become more common. This study aims to determine and analyze the effects of self-esteem on narcissistic behavior in students at Medan Area University. The research design used in this study is survey research. The research sample consisted of 265 students of Medan Area University consisting of various durations of smartphone use. Data collection was carried out through two questionnaires measuring self-esteem and narcissistic behavior. This study was analyzed using simple linear regression. The results of the study showed that self-esteem had a significant positive effect on narcissistic behavior, the greater the narcissistic tendency. Students with low self-esteem were less likely to exhibit narcissistic behavior such as frequently uploading photos of themselves and seeking attention through "likes" and comments.

Abstract

Assertive behavior plays a crucial role for bullying victims in authentically expressing themselves and maintaining self-respect, while a positive school climate fosters identity development and reduces bullying. This study aims to examine the relationships between self-esteem, school climate, and assertive behavior in adolescents. The research employs a systematic literature review with a scoping review approach based on the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) protocol. Sources include journal articles and books published within the last ten years, retrieved from databases such as Google Scholar, Semantic Scholar, ScienceDirect, and Wiley Online Library. Analysis of 30 sources reveals that self-esteem influences assertive behavior, while a research gap exists regarding the correlation between school climate and assertive behavior in adolescents. This study holds significance for adolescents and schools in reducing bullying by emphasizing the role of both personal and contextual factors.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the impact of participatory training on enhancing the psychological well-being and technical skills of Micro, Small, And Medium Enterprise (MSME) artisans in Tangkahan’s ecotourism sector. Fifty MSME participants, who had previously attended training sessions organized by government agencies and universities, were selected as respondents. The study employed observation and statistical analysis, specifically paired samples t-tests, to evaluate changes in knowledge and skills before and after the training. The results revealed a significant improvement in both the well-being and performance of participants, with t-values exceeding the t-table and significance values (p) below 0.05. Additionally, Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was utilized to analyze the interrelationships between variables and test the hypotheses. This approach provided a robust framework for evaluating the direct and indirect effects among the factors, enhancing the validity and depth of the findings. These findings highlight that participatory training improves the psychological well-being and technical skills of handicraft MSME actors in managing their businesses. This study also reveals that psychological well-being has a significant direct impact on technical skills and competitiveness. Additionally, technical skills directly influence competitiveness, while psychological well-being indirectly affects competitiveness through the mediation of technical skills. This study advocates for a holistic training approach that not only focuses on technical skill enhancement but also prioritizes psychological well-being to enhancing competitiveness. The success of MSMEs depend not only on technical skills but also on the psychological well-being such as job satisfaction, stress management, mental health, motivation and positive emotion of the workforce. By adopting this comprehensive strategy, future training programs can drive long-term improvements in both individual well-being and business performance, ensuring the resilience and competitiveness of MSMEs in Tangkahan’s ecotourism sector.

Abstract

The novelty of this study lies in its holistic approach. It integrates counseling, training, and intrinsic motivation as key factors influencing employee resilience, which ultimately impacts productivity in startup environments. Unlike previous studies that typically examine one or two factors in isolation, this research offers a comprehensive perspective by demonstrating how the combination of these three elements strengthens employee resilience in facing the dynamic challenges of startup settings, thereby leading to increased productivity. The aim of this study is to examine the factors influencing productivity using a descriptive quantitative approach. Primary data were collected through a questionnaire utilizing a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 (strongly disagree to strongly agree), completed by employees at startup companies. The study involved 160 respondents and was analyzed using Smart Partial Least Squares. The results indicate that counseling, training, and intrinsic motivation do not have a positive or significant effect on resilience. However, resilience has a positive and significant effect on employee productivity. Additionally, intrinsic motivation does not have a positive or significant indirect effect on employee productivity through resilience.

Abstract

The use of technology such as computers has become a primary necessity across various employment sectors. The increasing intensity of technology use often presents challenges to users, one of which is technostress. Technostress can negatively impact individual well-being and productivity, both in the workplace and in personal life. This study aims to examine the extent to which computer self-efficacy and perceived ease of use can predict levels of technostress among workers. The population of this study consists of 120 employees who use computers in the fields of administration, operational management, and information and communication technology (ICT) within the Klasis Taniwel. The sampling technique employed was purposive sampling. Data were collected using three instruments: the Technostress Creators Scale to measure technostress, the Computer Self-Efficacy Scale to measure self-efficacy in computer use, and a scale to measure Perceived Ease of Use. Data analysis was conducted quantitatively using a correlational design with multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that both computer self-efficacy and perceived ease of use, whether simultaneously or individually, significantly predict technostress.

Abstract

The author discussed sapiosexuality as a phenomenon that needs to be studied further in the context of sex education. This topic is very current and needs to be discussed more scientifically. The author hopes that through this paper, it can give special consideration to being able to include the discussion of sapiosexuals in the context of formal, informal, and non-formal education. In addition, further researchers are expected to be able to link sapiosexuality with the well-established theory of multiple intelligences. In conclusion, it can be concluded that sapiosexuality is one of the most interesting discussions to be discussed further in the implementation of sexual education in various education sectors, because it is very relevant to the current situation and developments. Despite the controversy and criticism that still occurs in the field, the topic of sapiosexuality will continue to grow stronger by the day. It is evident that currently psychological instruments have been developed to measure this, and there have been quite several scientific studies targeting it. So hopefully, this theory about sapiosexuality can be more scientifically trusted in the future.
