Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of work motivation and performance on job satisfaction of honorary teachers at SMK X. The background of this study is the low level of job satisfaction experienced by honorary teachers due to external factors such as salary and facilities, as well as internal factors such as work motivation. This research employs a quantitative approach using survey methods. The research population includes all honorary teachers at SMK X, totaling 34 individuals, who were sampled using total sampling. The data instrument utilizes a Likert scale to measure the variables of motivation, performance, and job satisfaction. Validity is tested with product moment correlation, while reliability is examined through Alpha Cronbach. The data is analyzed using regression tests with the help of SPSS software, including stages of normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroskedasticity testing. The findings of the study show that both work motivation and performance have a significant effect.

Abstract

Affective commitment is an integral part of nurses' performance in terms of service quality in hospitals. However, the majority of nurses still tend to lack emotional involvement or attachment to the hospital. Therefore, it is important to understand the meaningfulness of work as a predictor of affective commitment in nurses. This study aims to identify the meaningfulness of work as a predictor of affective commitment in nurses at Hospital A, Bandar Lampung. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method. The study was conducted at Hospital A Bandar Lampung. 137 nurses were the subjects of the study. Accidental sampling was used as the data collection technique. The instruments used were a 10-item work meaningfulness scale and an 8-item affective commitment scale, both of which were tested for validity and reliability. The reliability test for work meaningfulness was 0.87 and for affective commitment was 0.93. The content validity for work meaningfulness was 1 and for affective commitment was 0.62. The hypothesis testing used in this study was a multiple regression test. The overall analysis results showed that meaningfulness of work significantly predicts affective commitment by 38.2%. The partial data analysis results found that: 1) the dimension of positive meaning in work (x1) is a predictor of affective commitment by providing an effective contribution of 12.99%; 2) the dimension of meaning making through work (x2) is a predictor of affective commitment by providing an effective contribution of 12.57%; and 3) the dimension of greater good motivation (x3) is a predictor of affective commitment by providing an effective contribution of 12.46%.

Abstract

The transition from adolescence to early adulthood is a critical developmental phase that involves identity exploration, independence, and the pursuit of life goals. During this stage, individuals are often confronted with academic demands, social expectations, and uncertainty about the future, which can trigger emotional distress. This study examines the influence of mental health on the occurrence of quarter-life crisis among individuals in the emerging adulthood phase (18–29 years old). Using a quantitative descriptive approach, the research focuses on the relationship between mental well-being and symptoms such as future anxiety, self-doubt, and dissatisfaction with life. The findings indicate that mental health has a significant impact on an individual’s ability to cope with challenges and adapt to life transitions. Those with stable mental health show greater resilience, better decision-making, and lower vulnerability to quarter-life crisis, whereas those with poor mental health are more prone to confusion, overthinking, and pessimism about personal and professional goals. The results highlight the importance of mental health education, preventive interventions, and counseling services to help young adults manage emotional stress and navigate transitions effectively.

Abstract

Marital happiness can be influenced by culture because there are cultural values that play a role in encouraging individual happiness. The purpose of this study is to explore the meaning of marital happiness for Toba Batak couples and determine what factors influence marital happiness for Toba Batak couples. The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. This research was conducted in Marindal I village, Patumbak District, Deli Serdang Regency, North Sumatra, which was conducted from March to April 2024. This study took four Toba Batak couples. The data collection procedure used in-depth interviews with a semi-structured form. The data analysis technique used was reading the data that had been obtained, organizing the data, and determining the theme. The results found that the meaning of marital happiness for the Toba Batak tribe when having children is increasingly complete with the presence of grandchildren so that they can perfect the lineage. It was also found that the factors that influence marital happiness for the Toba Batak tribe are internal factors consisting of communication and economics, while external factors consist of neighborly harmony and activeness in the community. Each culture influences marital happiness, so the meaning of marital happiness in each region will be different from one another.

Abstract

Many employees today tend to focus solely on their main tasks without engaging in extra-role behaviors, which may hinder overall organizational effectiveness. These extra-role behaviors are commonly referred to as Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), which play a significant role in supporting organizational success. One factor that can influence OCB is Perceived Organizational Support (POS), or the extent to which employees feel that their organization values their contributions and cares about their well-being. This study aimed to examine POS as a predictor of OCB among employees in a fabrication company in Banjarmasin, both overall and across each OCB dimension. The study involved 144 employees selected through simple random sampling. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results showed that POS significantly predicts OCB, both in general and within each dimension. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing POS to foster OCB among employees. Companies are encouraged to appreciate employee efforts, recognize contributions, and attend to employee welfare. Strengthening POS can create a supportive work environment that motivates employees to go beyond their formal job roles, ultimately contributing to improved organizational effectiveness and performance.

Abstract

Loneliness is a psychological condition commonly experienced by migrant students who must adapt to new environments far from their families. This study explores the subjective experiences of loneliness among rantau (migrant) students studying at several universities in Gresik, Indonesia. The research aims to identify the factors contributing to loneliness, its emotional and behavioral impacts, and the coping strategies adopted by students. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with three participants from different universities: Aira (Politeknik Semen Indonesia), Citra (Universitas Internasional Semen Indonesia), and Ferismaldy (Universitas Muhammadiyah Gresik). The results indicate that loneliness arises from limited intimate relationships, difficulties in communication, and emotional distance from family. Personality traits such as introversion and low self-confidence intensify feelings of isolation. The psychological effects include sadness, decreased motivation, loss of appetite, sleep disturbances, and a sense of worthlessness. However, several participants were able to reduce loneliness through positive coping mechanisms, including engaging in part-time work, joining campus organizations, and maintaining close friendships. This study concludes that loneliness among rantau students is a multidimensional experience shaped by personal, social, and environmental interactions.

Abstract

Verbal bullying among early adolescents represents one of the most pervasive behavioral problems in school environments and is strongly associated with family dynamics and peer group influences. Adolescents who experience poor family functioning often lack emotional regulation and empathy, while high peer conformity increases their susceptibility to negative social behaviors, including verbal aggression. This study aims to examine the effect of family functioning and peer conformity on verbal bullying behavior among early adolescents. A quantitative correlational research design was employed, involving 120 students aged 12–15 years from several junior high schools in Gresik Regency. Data were collected using three validated instruments: the Family Assessment Device (FAD), the Peer Conformity Scale, and the Verbal Bullying Behavior Scale. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression analysis with SPSS 26. The results indicate that both family functioning and peer conformity significantly influence verbal bullying behavior, with peer conformity showing a stronger predictive effect. Dysfunctional family environments and excessive peer conformity were found to increase the likelihood of adolescents engaging in verbal bullying. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening family communication patterns and promoting assertive peer norms to prevent aggressive verbal behavior in school contexts.

Abstract

Psychological research on climate change, dominated by Global North “eco-anxiety,” fails to capture the lived reality of the Global South. This ethnocentric bias overlooks the profound, place-based distress experienced by frontline communities facing immediate environmental degradation. This study aimed to investigate the manifestations of solastalgia and eco-anxiety and identify indigenous psychological adaptation strategies using a community-based participatory approach in the Global South. A Community-Based Participatory Research (CBPR) framework, employing a sequential explanatory mixed-methods design, was implemented in two climate-vulnerable sites (coastal Southeast Asia and agrarian Sahel, N=804). Qualitative methods informed the co-development of the Community Climate Distress and Resilience Scale (CCD-RS). Findings revealed that “solastalgia” (present-tense, place-based grief) is the dominant psychological burden, significantly superseding future-oriented ‘eco-anxiety’. Qualitative analysis identified local idioms of distress (e.g., “the sea is tired”). Resilience was not an individual trait but a collective process, strongly predicted by involvement in community rituals (\beta = .31, p < .001). The study provides an empirical corrective to the ethnocentric bias in climate psychology, demonstrating that psychological adaptation in the Global South is collective and place-based.
