Abstract

This study explores how cultural and religious values shape the career search efficacy of vocational high school students (SMK) in Banda Aceh, Indonesia. Using a qualitative exploratory-descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions (FGDs) involving students and guidance counselors. The findings reveal that career search efficacy is deeply embedded within Acehnese cultural norms, including Islamic principles, familial decision-making (musyawarah), and informal social interactions such as coffee shop discussions. The analysis identified four key dimensions of culturally influenced career search efficacy: career exploration, interview efficacy, networking efficacy, and personal exploration. These dimensions illustrate that students' career development is not only an individual process but also one that is shaped by community values and spiritual beliefs. However, the contextual nature of the findings and the limited participant scope suggest that further research is needed using mixed methods and broader samples to generalize results. This study contributes to the development of culturally responsive career guidance services and supports the integration of local wisdom into educational practices.

Abstract

Body Dysmorphic Disorder (BDD) causes individuals to focus excessively on physical flaws, thus reducing self-confidence and belief in their abilities. This low self-confidence can trigger career anxiety, as individuals feel their appearance is a barrier to competing and adapting in the workplace. However, since evidence on the relationship between BDD and career-related psychological outcomes among students remains fragmented, little is known about how body image concerns specifically influence students’ readiness and confidence in pursuing their future careers. This study aims to determine the effect of BDD on the level of career anxiety of students. The method used is quantitative correlation. The research sample was 310 randomly selected students. Data analysis in this study used simple linear regression. The results showed a significant influence between BDD and career anxiety. The higher the level of BDD, the higher the career anxiety experienced by students. New findings from this study reveal that social media factors, social pressure, and family expectations can exacerbate the impact of BDD on students' career readiness. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of Guidance and Counseling services in addressing students' body image issues and career anxiety holistically and preventatively.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has created rapid changes that led many companies to speed up digital transformation, particularly in the management of human resources. A key development in this process is the adoption of Digital Human Resource Management (DHRM), an approach that brings digital technologies into HR functions. This study aims to systematically review the literature linking DHRM to employee resilience, focusing on the psychological impact of the interaction between technology and individuals. Using a systematic literature review (SLR) method, 50 articles from Scopus and ProQuest were analyzed. The results show that DHRM contributes to employee psychological resilience by increasing self-efficacy, psychological safety, and agility and creating an emotionally supportive digital workspace. The study found that psychological aspects like coping strategies, emotions, and perceived support are essential in linking digital systems with employee resilience. The study suggests using an interdisciplinary perspective that brings together technology and psychology to develop effective DHRM systems while also addressing employees’ psychological well-being.

Abstract

This study conducts a meta-analysis to examine the effects of organizational culture and transformational leadership on teacher performance across multiple educational contexts. A systematic search was performed through ScienceDirect, Eric, Taylor & Francis, and Google Scholar databases, applying rigorous inclusion criteria for quantitative studies published between 2015 and 2025. From 1250 identified articles, 22 met the eligibility requirements, consisting of 11 studies on organizational culture and 11 on transformational leadership. The random-effects model for organizational culture revealed a significant positive effect on teacher performance (r = 0.448, p < .001), categorized as moderate, though high heterogeneity (I² = 80.18%) indicated contextual variation across studies. In contrast, transformational leadership showed a consistent and significant positive effect (r = 0.441, p < .001) under the fixed-effects model, with low heterogeneity (I² = 4.05%), reflecting stable results across different educational settings. These findings affirm that both organizational culture and transformational leadership are critical determinants of teacher performance, but the influence of organizational culture is more context-dependent. Theoretically, this study enriches the literature on educational management by synthesizing empirical evidence, while practically, it offers insights for policymakers and school leaders in designing strategies to enhance teacher performance through organizational culture development and transformational leadership practices.

Abstract

Concentration is an important ability for children, especially the skill to focus attention on specific objects. Field observations show that children with intellectual developmental disorders often experience difficulties maintaining concentration during learning activities. This research aims to determine the effect of collage games on increasing learning concentration in children with intellectual developmental disorders. The hypothesis states that collage games can improve concentration duration before and after the intervention. The study used a single-subject experimental method with an A-B-A design. Baseline 1 (A-1) consisted of four 15-minute sessions in which the child-colored pictures of balls. The intervention phase (B) involved eight 15-minute sessions using collage games. Baseline 2 (A-2) was then conducted through four 15-minute coloring sessions. The instrument used was direct observation with event recording, measuring pre-test and post-test concentration duration and frequency. Observations were carried out by a psychology graduate therapist across sixteen sessions in total. Data were analyzed using graphic analysis by comparing concentration duration in each session and calculating the average scores for Baseline 1, Intervention, and Baseline 2. The results showed that the collage game intervention had a positive effect on increasing concentration duration in children with intellectual developmental disorders. This is demonstrated by the scores obtained: Baseline 1 (24), Intervention (17), and Baseline 2 (25). There was a noticeable increase from Baseline 1 to Baseline 2. Thus, collage games are effective for improving children’s concentration during learning activities.

Abstract

Academic resilience refers to an individual's ability to cope with pressures within the academic environment and to recover from setbacks or adverse situations. It is influenced by both internal and external factors. Previous research has extensively examined self-efficacy as an internal factor and peer social support as an external factor contributing to academic resilience. This study explores the psychological mechanism underlying these relationships by introducing goal orientation as a moderating variable in the influence of self-efficacy and peer support on academic resilience. The types of goal orientation examined include learning goal orientation, avoiding goal orientation, and proving goal orientation. A moderation test was conducted using hierarchical regression analysis with a sample of 1,082 university students from a private higher education institution in Jakarta. The findings revealed that both learning goal orientation and avoiding goal orientation significantly strengthened the effect of self-efficacy on academic resilience, while proving goal orientation significantly weakened this relationship. These results suggest that goal orientation can be leveraged to support students who have trouble adjusting during the early stages of university life. However, the study also found that goal orientation did not significantly moderate the relationship between peer social support and academic resilience. It is suggested that this may be due to the inherently strong role of peer relationships among individuals in this age group, reducing the influence of goal orientation in their adaptation process to university settings.

Abstract

Ego identity plays a crucial role in shaping an individual’s self-concept, career decisions, and social relationships. Accurately measuring ego identity status is essential for understanding identity formation and promoting healthy psychological development. This study examines the validity and reliability of the adapted Objective Measure of Ego Identity Status (OMEIS) using the Rasch Model, a contemporary psychometric approach that enhances measurement precision. A sample of 431 university students participated in this study, with data collected through an online questionnaire. Rasch analysis was employed to assess item fit, rating scale effectiveness, person reliability, and item difficulty levels. The results indicate that the adapted OMEIS demonstrates strong structural validity and high item reliability (0.99), although person reliability (0.63) requires improvement. The Wright Map analysis confirms the instrument’s ability to capture variations in ego identity, while item difficulty analysis highlights areas for potential refinement. Findings suggest that the Rasch Model provides a robust framework for validating psychological instruments, ensuring their applicability across diverse populations. This study contributes to the refinement of identity measurement tools and underscores the importance of advanced psychometric methodologies in psychological research

Abstract

Tidal flooding has become a chronic environmental problem in Simonet Hamlet, Pekalongan, causing daily inundation of up to one meter and accelerating coastal erosion. This study aims to analyze the forms of suffering experienced by affected residents, identify the social-psychological trauma caused by prolonged tidal flooding, and describe the coping strategies used by the community. This research employs a qualitative method using interviews, observations, and documentation, while data were analyzed with an interactive model. The results show that residents experience multidimensional losses, including the destruction of houses and land, restricted mobility due to isolation, declining health conditions, loss of stable employment, and increased socio-economic burdens. The social-psychological impacts include recurring trauma during flood events, stress related to submerged homes and unstable livelihoods, forced job diversification, and the loss of long-term aspirations. To cope with these conditions, residents adopt physiological and psychological adaptation strategies and periodically evacuate to higher ground. The findings underscore the need for integrated disaster-management policies and psychosocial support to strengthen community resilience in chronically flooded coastal areas.

Abstract

Although research on student Mental Health has been widely conducted, there is still a gap in studies that specifically examine the relationship between Quality of Life and Peer Social Support on the Mental Health of students with disabilities in the context of higher education in Indonesia. Students with disabilities in higher education often face significant psychological challenges, such as accessibility barriers, social stigma, and academic pressure that can affect their Mental Health. This study aims to investigate the role of Quality of Life and Peer Social Support in influencing the Mental Health of students with disabilities in Indonesia. The research method uses a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis. The research sample consisted of 104 students with disabilities aged 19-23 years, obtained using accidental sampling techniques. The research instruments consist of the Indonesian Quality of Life Scale (α = 0.942), the Peer Support Questionnaire (α = 0.858), and the Azira Mental Health Scales (α = 0.929). The research results indicate that Quality of Life and Peer Social Support together are a significant predictor of Mental Health (F = 78.163; p = 0.000). Partially, Quality of Life is a significant predictor of Mental Health (t = -12.503; p = 0.000), whereas Peer Social Support does not show a significant predictor of Mental Health (t = -0.030; p = 0.976). These findings emphasize the importance of improving the Quality of Life for students with disabilities as a key strategy in Mental Health interventions, while Peer Social Support needs to be optimized to be more effective in providing a positive impact.

Abstract

Mental health is an important aspect in the development of santri who live in a pesantren environment that is full of academic, social, and emotional pressures. This study aims to develop and test the effectiveness of the Emotional Wellness Counseling (EWC) based Counseling Guidance Program as an effort to improve the emotional well-being of students in West Sumatra pesantren. The method used is Research and Development (R&D) with the Mantap (Steady, Precise, Accurate, Productive) model which includes needs analysis, product development, expert validation, practicality test, effectiveness test, and dissemination. A total of 78 students from three pesantren were selected using simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive statistics f, feasibility validation, and pretest-posttest comparison. The results of expert validation showed that the EWC module was in the very feasible category (87-91%), while the practicality test by students and ustadz/ustadzah was in the very practical category (86-94%). The effectiveness test shows a significant increase in the ability of emotion regulation and emotional well-being of santri with an average N-Gain value of 0.64 (medium-high category) and an effect size of 0.81 which shows a large effect compared to the control class (N-Gain 0.32). The integration of Islamic values and Minangkabau cultural wisdom in the module strengthens the relevance and acceptance of the program in the pesantren environment. These findings confirm that EWC is effective and feasible to implement as an innovation in counseling services to strengthen the mental health of santri holistically.
