Abstract

This paper delves into the hidden cultural and symbolic significance of Yoruba traditional headdresses, exploring their multifaceted roles within spirituality, social identity, and everyday life. Headdresses such as gele and fila are not only symbols of status, but also spiritual tools that connect the wearer to the divine and their ancestral heritage. Specific headdresses are associated with different Ori?a and carry unique meanings particularly in the areas for healing, protection, and spiritual alignment. In addition to their spiritual, cultural and symbolic significance, headdresses play a key role in Yorùbá fashion, often signifying wealth, social rank, and personal identity. Beyond aesthetics, Yoruba headdresses are also embedded in herbalism and traditional medicine, where certain caps are believed to possess healing powers. These headdresses are used in rituals to cure ailments, aids childbirth, and enhance well-being of the wearer. Unfortunately, in this contemporary period, most of these values are no longer in existence due to cultural devaluation courtesy of foreign religion, western education and embrace of foreign culture to the detriment of African/Yoruba culture. This paper therefore, explores the dynamic nature of Yorùbá headdresses, emphasizing their role in preserving cultural identity and spiritual practices. The study was carried out by conducting interview among ten Babalawo-Ifa priests, fifteen youths and fifteen elderly men and women and their views content analysed. The study recommends that the youths should be more interested in the promotion of their culture by blending it with the new found culture of the foreigners.

Abstract

The education system in Bangladesh remains heavily exam-oriented, often at the expense of students’ psychological well-being and holistic development. This article explores how reforming school culture—defined as the network of beliefs, practices, and relationships that shape the learning environment—can enhance academic well-being. Drawing from global best practices and empirical studies, particularly in socio-economically similar contexts, the article advocates for integrating socio-emotional learning (SEL), improving teacher training, reducing educational inequality, and implementing constructivist or project-based assessment methods. These interventions can create a more inclusive, student-centered environment that promotes both academic success and emotional resilience. The scope of this article is conceptual and policy-oriented, aiming to synthesize evidence and propose actionable strategies rather than report findings from original empirical research. Limitations include the absence of primary data and the need for contextual adaptation of international models to Bangladesh’s unique socio-cultural setting. Practical implications of SEL integration include improved classroom climate, reduced student anxiety, and enhanced interpersonal skills—factors increasingly vital for 21st-century education. Ultimately, the article emphasizes that fostering positive school culture is essential for sustainable education reform in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Much research has shown that online gambling behavior has detrimental effects on various aspects, including on undergraduate students.  However, studies on smartphone behavior and online gambling among students are still under research.  This study aims to determine the relationship between nomophobia and online gambling behavior among university students. A total sample of 118 undergraduate students who were using smartphones and actively playing online gambling participated in this study. We used the Nomophobia Questionnaire scale and the Online Gambling Symptom Assessment Scale to obtain nomophobia and online gambling behavior data. Correlation analysis showed a significant and positive correlation between nomophobia and online gambling behavior, with a coefficient r being 0.439 and a p-value being 0.000 (p<0.05). The results show that there is a positive relationship between nomophobia and online gambling behavior in college students. Gender analysis showed that there were no significant differences between male and female students in online gambling behavior, whereas in nomophobia, female students had higher levels than male students. These findings highlight the urgency of strengthening digital literacy to prevent online gambling behavior among undergraduate students.

Abstract

Many students face various complex academic challenges, ranging from heavy workloads, pressure to achieve, to intense academic competition. These conditions can trigger emotional stress that affects academic resilience. This study aims to examine students' academic resilience in terms of emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and gender.   This quantitative study used purposive sampling and involved 217 students. Data collection was conducted using two scales: one to measure emotional intelligence and another to measure students' self-efficacy, which were administered through questionnaires, along with demographic data on students' gender.  Hypothesis testing showed a significant influence between emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and gender with an F value of 0.000 at p < 0.05. Emotional intelligence, self-efficacy, and gender contributed 48.6% of the variability in academic resilience (R² = 0.486), indicating a significant impact. These findings indicate that by enhancing emotional intelligence and self-efficacy, students' academic resilience can be improved, enabling them to better cope with academic pressure and challenges. Additionally, understanding gender differences in resilience enables the development of more targeted counseling programs and psychological interventions to help students manage stress, maintain learning motivation, and improve their academic well-being.

Abstract

Social media has profoundly reshaped the way youth interact, communicate, and build relationships in the digital age. As platforms like Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and WhatsApp become central to daily life, understanding their psychosocial impacts on young people is critical. This scoping review aims to map and synthesize existing research on how social media influences youth social interaction patterns. A total of 82 studies published between 2020 and 2025 were analyzed, covering diverse cultural and geographical contexts. Thematic analysis identified four key areas: (1) social media as a catalyst for friendship formation, (2) evolving communication styles shaped by visual and ephemeral content, (3) the rise of digital intimacy and emotional support networks, and (4) the amplification of peer conflict, social comparison, and algorithmic pressures. The findings reveal both opportunities (e.g., global connections and creative self-expression) and risks (e.g., performative self-presentation, cyberbullying, and FOMO). Practical recommendations include implementing digital literacy programs in education, fostering authentic connections through platform design, and developing policies for algorithmic transparency and youth online safety. This review highlights the need for intersectional and globally aware frameworks and calls for longitudinal research to inform interventions that promote youth well-being in digital spaces.

Abstract

Helicopter parenting has a significant effect on the development of students independent learning, particularly among students in countries with a collectivist family culture, such as Indonesia. In an Indonesian context, the role of parents in their children's academic lives is fundamental, and many parents are involved in every stage of their children's education. Nevertheless, some studies indicate that students raised in an environment where parents exert significant control tend to rely more heavily on their parents when making academic decisions, such as choosing a major, setting career goals, or even seeking employment after graduation. This study aims to examine the influence of Helicopter Parenting on the Self-Directed Learning (SDL) ability of students in Indonesia. Data were collected from 112 college students using a questionnaire that had been tested for reliability (Cronbach's Alpha SDL = 0.959; HP = 0.946). The results of the analysis showed that there was a significant negative relationship between Helicopter Parenting and SDL (r = -0.695, p < 0.01). A simple linear regression showed that Helicopter Parenting explained 48.3% of SDL variability. These findings show that excessive parental involvement impacts low student learning independence. Moreover, this research provides theoretical implications for autonomy theory in collectivist cultures, as well as practical recommendations for parents and educational institutions to support the development of SDL. Theoretically, this study implements the theory of autonomy in a collectivist culture; practically, this study offers strategies that can be applied by parents and educational institutions to support the development of independent learning in students.

Abstract

Despite extensive research on Human Resource Development (HRD), few studies have examined how socio-demographic factors influence the effectiveness of HRD practices on employee performance in private hospitals within emerging healthcare systems. This study investigates the relationship between HRD practices and employee performance at Assured Best Care Hospital, using a descriptive–correlational design with 50 participants selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS. Results reveal no significant difference in performance across educational levels (p = .629) and tenure groups (p = .230), yet positive correlations were found between updated training (r = .48, p < .05), supervisor support (r = .45, p < .05), learning climate (r = .43, p < .05), and career growth opportunities (r = .41, p < .05) with employee performance. These findings support the Human Capital Theory and Social Exchange Theory by demonstrating that HRD enhances performance through capability building and reciprocal motivation. The study extends HRD scholarship by contextualizing these mechanisms within resource-constrained hospital settings. Practically, the results emphasize the need for continuous, competency-aligned training, effective coaching, and transparent career development to sustain engagement and performance. The findings inform hospital administrators about the strategic importance of HRD in achieving service excellence.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the condition of post-traumatic growth in Tsunami survivors who lost their parents on December 26, 2004. The subjects of this study were selected using a purposive sampling technique with a phenomenological approach from qualitative research of as many as two people. The instrument in this study used observation, in-depth interviews, and field notes. These two participants were selected based on the conditions intended by the researcher, namely losing their parents in the Aceh tsunami in 2004. Participants were given five open questions and conducted in-depth interviews. The data were analyzed using the Moleong approach, which consists of five aspects of post-traumatic growth, namely: (1) New possibilities, (2) Appreciation of Life, (3) Personal Strength, (4) Relationships with Others, and (5) Spiritual Enhancement. Data analysis used thematic analysis techniques to identify themes and subthemes from participant narratives. The results of this study indicate that tsunami trauma opens up opportunities for the emergence of new possibilities (new opportunities obtained), appreciation in life (in the form of gratitude, appreciating moments together and realizing the meaning of life), personal strength (resilience, revival, optimism, reflection, and responsibility), and relationships with others (relationship attachment, empathy, social support, and communication), as well as spiritual enhancement reflected in the reinterpretation of religious values and stronger beliefs. These findings are important for the development of interventions that empower disaster victims in the process of recovery and post-traumatic growth.

Abstract

The rapid adoption of flexible work arrangements (FWA) in Indonesia, driven by digital transformation and shifting workforce expectations, raises critical questions about their impact on employee creativity—a relationship that remains underexplored in the local context. While global studies suggest FWA can foster innovation through greater autonomy and work-life balance, conflicting evidence and unique cultural values in Indonesia warrant further investigation. This study addresses a significant research gap by examining whether job satisfaction mediates the effect of FWA on employee creativity among Indonesian workers. Employing a cross-sectional survey of 233 permanent employees with validated measurement scales, we conducted mediation analysis using Jamovi. The results demonstrate that FWA positively influences both job satisfaction and creativity, with job satisfaction partially mediating this relationship. Notably, FWA exerts both direct and indirect effects on creativity, emphasizing the dual role of structural flexibility and psychological fulfillment. These findings enrich Job Adjustment Theory and the Job Demands-Resources framework in a non-Western setting, offering fresh insights into the mechanisms behind workplace innovation. Practically, organizations should not only implement flexible policies but also actively support job satisfaction to maximize creative outcomes. Future research is encouraged to explore additional mediators, moderators, and qualitative perspectives to further illuminate this evolving landscape. Abstrak. Adopsi pengaturan kerja fleksibel (Flexible Work Arrangements/FWA) yang semakin pesat di Indonesia, didorong oleh transformasi digital dan perubahan ekspektasi tenaga kerja, menimbulkan pertanyaan penting terkait dampaknya terhadap kreativitas karyawan—hubungan yang masih jarang dikaji dalam konteks lokal. Meskipun studi global menunjukkan bahwa FWA dapat mendorong inovasi melalui peningkatan otonomi dan keseimbangan kerja-kehidupan, temuan yang saling bertentangan serta nilai-nilai budaya yang unik di Indonesia memerlukan penelitian lebih lanjut. Studi ini mengisi kesenjangan penelitian dengan menguji apakah kepuasan kerja memediasi pengaruh FWA terhadap kreativitas karyawan di Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan survei cross-sectional pada 233 karyawan tetap dan skala pengukuran terstandar, analisis mediasi dilakukan menggunakan Jamovi. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa FWA berpengaruh positif terhadap kepuasan kerja dan kreativitas, dengan kepuasan kerja memediasi hubungan tersebut secara parsial. Menariknya, FWA memberikan efek langsung dan tidak langsung terhadap kreativitas, yang menegaskan peran ganda fleksibilitas struktural dan pemenuhan psikologis. Temuan ini memperkaya teori Job Adjustment dan kerangka Job Demands-Resources di konteks non-Barat, serta menawarkan wawasan baru tentang mekanisme inovasi di tempat kerja. Secara praktis, organisasi tidak hanya perlu menerapkan kebijakan fleksibel, tetapi juga secara aktif mendukung kepuasan kerja untuk memaksimalkan hasil kreativitas. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan mengeksplorasi mediator, moderator, dan pendekatan kualitatif tambahan untuk memperdalam pemahaman mengenai lanskap ini yang terus berkembang.

Abstract

This present study tested an extended Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) model including interaction effects between TPB determinants (i.e., attitudes, subjective norms/injunctive norms, perceived behavioural control (PBC), and intentions), and an additional variable (descriptive norms) among Indonesian adolescents. A cross-sectional study was done among 411 adolescents (Mage = 12.02 years, SD = 0.45, 53.3% boys) from five private schools in urban and suburban areas of Indonesia. Data were collected using adapted questionnaires. A Multiple Linear Regression was used to examine the associations and interaction between determinants (attitudes, injunctive and descriptive norms, and perceived behavioural control) and intention of energy-dense intake using R 4.0.2. Analyses demonstrated significant predictions of three determinants to intentions. Analysis showed that there was a significant difference in the regression to intentions between injunctive and descriptive norms, where descriptive norms more importantly explained intentions than injunctive norms. The results also showed that there were no significant two-way interactions. Injunctive norms and descriptive norms did not moderate the relation between attitude and intention, neither attitudes as moderator between PBC and intentions. All three determinants of TPB could predict the intention of eating energy-dense food. The TPB model could explain this behaviour. It looked likely beneficial to consider the difference between descriptive norms and injunctive norms (especially friends) that may strongly effect on high school students intentions to consume energy-dense food.
