Abstract

With the intensified focus on information and communication technology (ICT) as a driver of the Malaysian economy, pressure will increase on the recruitment and retention of ICT employees. However, work overload and conflict with family roles may lead to a higher level of turnover intention among ICT employees. The objective of this study is to investigate the predicting effects of all forms of work-family conflict (time-based, strain-based and behavior-based) on turnover intentions. This quantitative cross-sectional study utilizes primary data collected from 200 employees from ICT companies in the Klang valley using purposive sampling. Various statistical analyses such as correlation and multiple regression analyses were conducted to analyze the collected data with the SPSS statistical package. The findings indicate that all forms of work to family conflict and family to work conflict had effect on turnover intentions except for time-based form of family to work conflict (TFWC). This study has significance for the management of ICT companies in Malaysia as it provides human resource managers with a better understanding of their employees needs in order to devise better strategies to reduce turnover rate. This study also addressed some limitations, implications and recommendations for future research.

Abstract

A multilevel lockdown was introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide. This new experience, however, received mixed responses from the public in different countries including India. A quantitative self-report, the Pro-Lockdown Compliance Scale (Pro-LCS), was developed to help 1) the Government and enforcing agents understand the compliance level of the public and 2) researchers investigate the antecedent factors of the compliance of the lockdown measures. The initial 10 items were administered to 309 male residents in Kerala via an online survey. The responses were randomly divided and submitted to exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses. Both analyses consistently support that the scale is best represented by a 5-item unidimensional model. Moreover, the Pro-LBS also demonstrated adequate internal consistency. The preliminary findings suggest that the scale is a brief and useful tool to examine the compliance level of the lockdown measures.

Abstract

Employee accountability is significant for every organization. Even though leaders are regarded as essential to increasing employee accountability, the mechanism by which leaders influence employee accountability has not yet been researched comprehensively. Employing the social information processing theory, this study argues that leader humility influences employee accountability through psychological safety, and moderated by formalization. Data collection was carried out by convenience sampling using the time-lagged data collection method from 279 employees in a state-owned company in Indonesia. Accountability, leader humility, psychological safety, and formalization scales were used to measure the variables in this study.This model predicted 38% of the variance of employee accountability, and results of analysis using the Hayes' PROCESS Macro Model 14 show: (1) Leader humility relates directly and positively with employee accountability (2) psychological safety mediates the positive relationship between leader humility and employee accountability; (3) the indirect effect of leader humility on employee accountability is strengthened when formalization increases. The result of this study demonstrates that a leader’s character and formalization in the organizations are the keys to build employee accountability.

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between academic crafting, work-school facilitation and academic engagement in higher education. Based on the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) Model, the research sought to determine how students' alignment of academic activities with personal preferences and interests (academic crafting) affects academic engagement and whether work-school facilitation mediates this effect. The research therefore emphasized the delicate balance that students strike between their work obligations and their scholarly activities. Our research hypotheses focused on understanding how academic crafting directly and indirectly affects student engagement. The research data were obtained from a sample of students enrolled in postgraduate programs and actively working in the labor market. The sample included a higher proportion of male (108), married people (88), those aged 26 to 35 (89), students pursuing a master's degree with a thesis (112), and those who had been employed for 6–10 years (47). The analyses revealed that academic crafting has a direct positive effect on academic engagement. Moreover, in the research, academic crafting not only directly affected academic engagement, but also indirectly through work-school facilitation. In this case, it was determined that work-school facilitation had a mediating role in the study. Therefore, students who proactively aligned their course-related activities with their interests effectively balanced their work demands and academic responsibilities and exhibited more dedication and enthusiasm in their academic studies.

Abstract

Filipino teachers drawn to Uzbekistan were attracted by the prestige and mission of its government schools, bringing world-class teaching experience from numerous countries. This departure of Filipino teachers to Uzbekistan is the focus of a hermeneutic phenomenological study that discloses a valuable tapestry of themes that capture the intricate quality of the educators’ journey. The Filipino teachers who joined this study were employed for a minimum of two years. This study was performed through semi structured interviews, and the data went through structural, thematic analysis, exposing a narrative covering distinct themes. First, the resilience and adaptability of the international educators and the empowerment of the local teachers within the distinctive educational landscape were revealed. Second, the personal dimensions, covering gratitude for their roles, high regard for Filipinos, and living in a peaceful community while embracing simplicity and local culture, were explored by the theme. Third, the strategic motives were showcased, stressing compensation packages, student attitudes, and alignment with the institution's prestige. This study deepens our knowledge of the experiences of international educators, accentuating the intricacies of cross-cultural teaching. The educators’ dedication to efficient teaching programs and an active learning environment, as exhibited in their strategies for maintaining connections and comfort, adds meaningful insights to the broader discourse on global education.

Abstract

This study aimed to determine the effects of a single-session character strength intervention (CSI) on enhancing identity formation and self-efficacy and decreasing self-doubt of Malaysian emerging adults enrolled in tertiary education. A randomized active-controlled trial with a pretest, a posttest, and a 2-week follow-up was performed. A total of 129 undergraduate students (aged 18–25) were randomly assigned to either the CSI or the control group, who participated in a gatekeeper training for suicide prevention. Data from emerging and perceived adults were analyzed separately through a mixed-design analysis of variance. CSI showed no effects on improving emerging adults’ identity formation, self-efficacy, and self-doubt. In addition, this study investigated incidental findings such as the developmental differences between emerging and perceived adults at pretest, in which emerging adults had significantly lower identity formation and self-efficacy, as well as significantly higher self-doubt, than perceived adults. Although the current results are insignificant, this study revealed important developmental differences between emerging and perceived adults.

Abstract

The teaching profession is extremely vulnerable to burnout. The sudden outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic posed new threats and changed the educational environment, the perceptions and the values of teachers. The traditional in-person learning approach was quickly replaced by distant online learning to continue education. As schools reopened, a new educational platform, the hybrid learning model, evolved by fusing the two learning models. The high expectations placed on teachers to swiftly adopt new teaching methods—often without the required resources or training—exacerbated their exhaustion. We conducted a scoping review to determine the new stress factors that cause teachers’ burnout, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement. A total of 27 studies were systematically reviewed, and we identified numerous stress factors that affect teachers’ burnout. These stressors increased the already existing difficulties, magnifying their detrimental impacts. The stress factors were categorized as organizational, individual, transactional, emotional, cultural, or digital. This review suggests additional research is needed to understand the prevalence of teacher burnout and the effects that these stressors have on teachers’ personal and professional lives over time. Despite these challenges, this study demonstrates the need for more in-depth analysis to develop means to reduce teachers’ burnout and support them in maintaining their professional lives.

Abstract

During the COVID-19 pandemic, online gaming grew rapidly, becoming a social lifeline for many youths confined to their homes while turning others into gaming addicts. Online gaming not only led to connections with other youths but also opened the gates to fantasy worlds filled with adventures and missions that could be accomplished with quick thinking and quick fingers. Success there could lead to further addiction and inversely affect gamers’ real-world social life. Could the gap between their online success and their social adjustment in the real world manifest itself as feelings of being an impostor? The aim of this research is to study 1) the relationships between game addiction and the impostor phenomenon, 2) game addiction and social adjustment, and 3) the mediating effect of social adjustment. The study includes 376 gamers between the ages of 18 and 25. The results show a strong positive relationship between gaming addiction and the impostor phenomenon, with males presenting higher levels of gaming addiction and the imposter phenomenon than females. Gaming is negatively related to males’ social adjustment. Females have higher levels of social adjustment, and the relationship between gaming and the impostor feeling is weaker for them. Social adjustment partially mediates the relationship between gaming and the impostor phenomenon.

Abstract

This study examines the association between positive body image and selective visual self-presentation behaviors on social networking sites, while also considering the moderating influence of gender. We conducted a cross-sectional survey involving 282 undergraduate students in Malaysia (Mage = 20.85, SD = 1.81). The results reveal a negative correlation between positive body image and behaviors such as posing in pictures and editing photos. However, no significant relationship was found between positive body image and photo selection. Gender differences were evident, with females exhibiting higher engagement in posing in pictures, editing, and photo selection compared to males. The findings also show that gender plays a moderating role in the relationship between positive body image and photo selection, whereas no moderating effect was observed for posing in pictures and editing photos. The study’s implications are discussed.

Abstract

Having children after marriage tends to be seen as a normative practice in Indonesia. As a result, individuals who do not have children could be at risk of experiencing a set of social stigmas. The study aims to explore whether having children is associated with one’s marital satisfaction. In particular, the present study aims to explore the differences in marital satisfaction among married individuals who have biological children, who are childfree (voluntarily childless), and who are childless (involuntarily childless). A cross-sectional survey was conducted to 210 married individuals (M age = 34.3; SD = 7.9). The result shows that child ownership is not the predominant determinant of marital satisfaction. The results of this study may pave the way and inspire further research in examining the unique psychological and social dynamics of child-free individuals, which are an understudied phenomenon in Indonesia.
