Abstract

Millennials comprise a significant portion of the demography of the current Philippine workforce. Cognizant of the unique socio-cultural environment that shaped the Generation Y cohort, this descriptive phenomenological qualitative study aimed to explore millennial employees' work expectations and experiences within a government agency in the Philippines. Four themes emerged from the in-depth analysis of the five employees' interview responses: (1) job security and financial stability, (2) socio-emotional support, (3) fulfillment, and (4) professional development opportunities. The qualitative findings of this study emphasize the importance of supporting millennial employees' career growth and fostering a healthy work environment. It indicates that millennial employees know their value in government service and recognize that job security substantially impacts their performance. The findings of this study provide valuable insights into the work expectations and experiences of millennial employees in a government agency, highlighting the need for institutions to understand and adapt to the unique needs of this generation to foster a productive and engaged workforce.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the formation of group-based hatred in the context of latent conflict, as previous studies have predominantly explored the consequences of hatred in intractable conflicts. Group identification was hypothesized to lead to hatred of another group through perceived threat as a mediator, with the types of threat formulated from historical conflict narratives. The research context was the latent Muslim-PKI conflict in Indonesia. Realistic feelings of threat are formulated based on the narrative that the PKI (Indonesian Communist Party) is perceived to be resurging and trying to change the foundation of the state into communism. Symbolic threat comes from the narrative that PKI resurgence aims to spread communist ideology. This study surveyed 508 Muslim Indonesian citizens aged at least 18 years. The results indicated that perceived realistic and symbolic threats fully mediated the influence of group identification as Muslims on hatred towards PKI. Consistent with the hypothesis, the results demonstrated that hatred can also occur in the context of latent conflict, with perceived threat mediating the relationship between group identification and group-based hatred, and the types of threat were rooted in the historical conflict.

Abstract

Post-COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the global economy, resulting in a surge of job losses and layoffs across various industries, including the technology sector. The pandemic has led to changes in consumer behavior, supply chain disruptions, and an overall decrease in demand, all of which have contributed to the current economic situation. With the rise of social media platforms, individuals have been using Twitter to express their thoughts and opinions on the impact of the pandemic on the technology industry, including the increase in job losses and layoffs. In this study, we analyze the characteristics of Twitter users and their text and hashtag usage in the context of the pandemic's impact on the technology industry. We employ topic modeling and k-means clustering to a preprocessed dataset of tweets related to tech layoffs to identify common themes or topics in Twitter users' responses to tech winter layoffs in Indonesia. The analysis revealed a high number of negative tweets expressing anger and sadness. The use of predetermined keywords did not provide a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon as other topics such as politics, religion, news, and advertisements were prevalent.

Abstract

Understanding how recovery is defined and realized across different cultural contexts is vital to upholding the dignity and rights of people with mental illnesses. Within the Indonesian context, there is a dearth of research on conceptualizations of recovery from mental illnesses. Questions remain regarding the extent to which service users and providers share common definitions of recovery. We conducted a scoping review to interrogate current definitions of recovery from the perspectives of the various actors working with people with lived experiences of mental illness and extreme mental distress. We found that definitions of recovery differ across multiple domains and include elements of clinical, functional, social, and spiritual recovery. This scoping review contributes to the literature on recovery among individuals with mental illness and psychosocial disabilities while also providing recommendations for improving service delivery.

Abstract

The experiences of millennial teachers—currently comprising the majority of the teaching workforce—have gained attention in scholarly research. The phenomenon of teacher burnout, in particular, has gained greater attention in recent years due to its grave impact on the educational system and the well-being of teachers. Thus, developing an effective online intervention program is crucial to alleviate and avoid burnout among millennial teachers. Using Conklin’s program development model, which involves three phases, (1) planning, (2) design and implementation, and (3) evaluation and program validation, this study investigated the effectiveness of the Emotional Self-Care Online Intervention Program (ESCOIP) in treating burnout symptoms among Indian millennial teachers. The participants comprised teachers from Kerala, South India, born between the early 1980s and mid-1990s (N = 521), who were randomly assigned to the experimental (n = 20) and control (n = 20) groups. We used the sociodemographic survey, the Maslach Burnout Inventory-Educator survey, and focus group discussions to understand the prevalence and complexities involved in this problem. Paired t-test and MANOVA were used for data analysis, while partial eta squared (η2p) measured the extent of the effect of the ESCOIP. Results of the paired t-test and MANOVA revealed a statistically significant effect. Therefore, the program’s outcomes demonstrated that the ESCOIP serves as an effective treatment for the burnout symptoms experienced by millennial teachers.

Abstract

As environmental degradation and hazards caused by the information technology (IT) industry reach critical levels, promoting pro-environmental behaviors within IT firms is crucial. These behaviors not only reduce operational costs but also enhance employee productivity. The primary objective of this study is to assess the roles of consideration of future consequences (CFC), nature relatedness (NR), and organizational commitment (OC) as determinants of employee green behavior (EGB). Results revealed a significant relationship between CFC and EGB. Specifically, CFC-Future has a significant positive relationship with EGB, whereas CFC-Immediate has a significant negative correlation with EGB. Additionally, the relationship between EGB and NR is significant and positive. A significant positive correlation is also observed between EGB and OC. Furthermore, regression analysis of the psychological variables revealed that these factors collectively explain 29% of the variance in EGB, with contributions from CFC-Future, NR-6, and continuance OC.

Abstract

Athletic Identity (AthID) is an aspect of the self-concept that refers to how one identifies with the role of an athlete and seeks acknowledgment of that role. This identity is not salient in all individuals, but AthID is activated for those who regard their athletic role as significant. Our objective was to develop a theoretical model to elucidate how Filipino para-athletes can cultivate their distinct athletic identity after acquiring a disability. The present study explored the athletic identities of 12 Filipino para-athletes, aged 24 to 63, who developed physical impairment and continued participating and competing in their chosen sports. Using the grounded theory method, we conducted in-depth interviews with our participants. Our findings showed that the transformation of athletes into para-athletes is a continuous journey shaped by internal reflections, external interactions, and personal development. This process ultimately leads to creating a distinct identity for para-athletes. It involves dealing with the challenges brought about by a disability, overcoming emotional and psychological obstacles, and ultimately embracing a para-athlete identity marked by inspiration, strength, and self-empowerment. Our athletic identity model of Filipino para-athletes suggests that transitioning from being an athlete to becoming a para-athlete is complex and diverse. This theory offers valuable knowledge about how people adjust and transform their sense of self after experiencing life-changing events.

Abstract

Presently, in Indonesia, the lack of a validated measure for obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) hinders diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The current study evaluated the reliability, validity, and optimal cut-off score of the Indonesian Florida Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory (FOCI) in predicting OCD presence. The participants included 384 adults: 157 with OCD, 80 case controls with anxiety or mood disorders, and 147 healthy controls. Assessments were conducted using FOCI, Obsessive-Compulsive Inventory-Revised, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, and Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7. Test–retest reliability of the FOCI was evaluated for over 2 weeks in 30 OCD patients. The internal consistency within OCD samples for the FOCI Symptom Checklist and Severity Scale was strong (Kuder–Richardson 20, KR-20 = 0.86; Cronbach’s alpha, α = 0.86), as well as the test–retest reliability (intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC] = 0.98 [95% CI: 0.95, 0.99] and ICC = 0.73 [95% CI: 0.49, 0.86], respectively). Convergent and discriminant validity were moderate to strong. Confirmatory Factor Analysis revealed a unidimensional factorial structure for the FOCI Severity Scale. A cut-off score of ≥5 predicted OCD with a sensitivity of 85% and specificity of 65%. Results support the use of Indonesian FOCI in screening and assessing OCD in Indonesian samples.

Abstract

Individuals infected with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) have experienced torrents of problems associated with the pandemic, impairing their health, mental, social, and economic conditions. This study aimed to determine the psychological reactions and emotions of patients with COVID-19 infection and the social consequences during hospitalization. The current study used a qualitative and phenomenological design at a training and research hospital in Istanbul, Turkey. The study sample included 17 patients (41.6 ± 16.5 years) who had been discharged after COVID-19 treatment. The gathered information was classified into two main domains (social and psychological) and relevant themes and subthemes using a content analysis and classification method. The main factors of distress and emotions were categorized as before, during, and after hospitalization. Patients’ views of life and emotions underwent significant changes from pre-hospitalization to discharge throughout the disease course. While negative feelings such as fear, sadness, and shock/bewilderment were more prevalent before and during hospitalization, emotions concerning the value of health and life and thanksgiving dominated their psychological experiences after hospitalization. Participants experienced the social and economic impacts of COVID-19, including decreased social relationships, education, work, and income, with half experiencing stigmatization, leading to self-shyness, sadness, anger, and disappointment. The current study provided data about the psychological experiences of COVID-19 victims and their social and economic experiences, which may vary at different points throughout the disease course.

Abstract

Knowing the patient’s personality can assist the clinician in improving their relationship and tailoring the interventions for the patient. Several studies have reported that treatment and prevention programs must be tailored to an individual’s social and cultural attributes to facilitate continuous recovery and prevent relapse. This study aimed to develop a deeper understanding of the personality typology, clinical features, and risk of relapse in Filipinos with substance use problems in rehabilitation centers. We used a sequential-explanatory mixed-method approach with two phases (Phase 1: descriptive, cross-sectional design; Phase 2: phenomenological design) to provide an evidence-based framework to tailor treatment according to the personality of individuals with substance use problems. Phase 1 results revealed only one personality cluster for Filipinos with substance use problems, i.e., neurotic-extravert. Participants also had high scores on different scales in the MCMI-III and displayed high chances of reusing illicit substances. Phase 2 revealed four themes: avoidance coping, unwillingness to change, preference for social activities, and perceived lack of support. Integrating the findings of our two phases led to the development of the proposed treatment framework for Filipinos with substance use problems, including activities focused on developing positive coping mechanisms, increasing the motivation of Filipinos with substance use problems, having social activities, fostering support systems, and a post-treatment program. Our study’s findings may aid mental health professionals engaged in substance use prevention and recovery in creating better treatment programs and reducing posttreatment relapse tendencies.
