Abstract

Internship programs can serve as recruitment and selection strategies that facilitate data collection on the abilities of potential employees to manage their daily work duties. This study aims to examine factors that may influence a student intern’s intentions to apply to convert the internship into a permanent employee position at the same company after graduating from university. The study is grounded in the theory of planned behavior to probe whether internship satisfaction, subjective norms, and self-efficacy are predictors of the intentions of student interns to apply for jobs at companies that offer internship programs. Data collected from 261 Indonesian university students demonstrated that internship satisfaction and subjective norms positively and significantly predicted the intentions of student interns to apply to convert their internships into permanent jobs at the same company. However, self-efficacy did not predict such conversion intentions. Finally, the practical implications of these outcomes are discussed, and directions for prospective research are suggested.

Abstract

Many studies have been conducted on the prevalence of common psychological problems among older adults, but most of them were in a Western setting. This study aims to provide some data on the mental health of Indonesian older adults, specifically those related to stress, chronic pain acceptance, depression, and insomnia. Results show a high prevalence of psychological problems among older Indonesian adults, which is comparable to the findings of Western studies. This means that these older adults are at risk for psychological disorders; 46.28% experienced stress, 31.72% were depressed, 33.69% suffered from insomnia, and 16.84% had difficulty dealing with chronic pain. However, access to psychological services in Indonesia remains far below the Western standard.

Abstract

This study investigated the effectiveness of a Behavioral Skills Training program that aimed to improve the personal safety skills of a Down syndrome adolescent with mild intellectual disability. Personal safety was defined as an ability to recognize touch appropriateness, including four self- protective skills; resisting, removing, telling others, and reporting any inappropriate touch experienced. This single-subject design was administered over three days. The results demonstrated that the program was effective at improving the subject’s personal safety skills due to his achieving 97% of the maximum score. The subject was able to master the skills of recognizing, resisting, removing and telling others with a 100% score, while his reporting skill score was 83%. A repetition of this program has been recommended with a specific focus on developing reporting skills. To improve the program’s effectiveness further, in-situ training, training for test administrators, and the provision of reinforcements has been suggested.

Abstract

Businesses, especially those in urban areas, rely on innovation as a crucible of growth. Therefore, innovation is central to a business’s success. A transformational leader spurs their employees’ capability and efficacy. As a result, employees feel valued by the company, which encourages them to be innovative in the workplace. Thus, they can be inventive without fearing a reprimand by superiors. We argue that psychological empowerment indirectly influences the relationship between transformational leadership and innovative work behavior. This study surveyed 292 employees from different organizational types (e.g., private sector and public sector) in urban areas. The results of the study’s moderated mediation analysis demonstrate that innovative work behavior is the outcome of psychological empowerment through transformational leadership. Therefore, a transformational leader tends to empower their employees psychologically, which may improve employees’ ability to be more innovative at work. Furthermore, organizational types play a role in influencing employees’ psychological empowerment.

Abstract

Traffic accidents are one of the main causes of death in Indonesia, with human error being found to play a major role. The aim of this study is to analyze the human error factors that contribute to car and motorcycle traffic accidents. The data were collected from interviews with five car drivers and five motorcyclists from five Indonesian cities (Aceh, Pekanbaru, Semarang, Pontianak, and Gorontalo). The research found that there were no recognition error and decision error differences between car drivers and motorcyclists as both made recognition errors such as misestimations of distance and speed, and both made decision errors such as not avoiding a situation immediately, and performance errors such as stepping on the gas pedal by mistake. However, they were differences in other errors. For example, drivers tended to become sleepy, whereas motorcyclists felt tired, under time pressure, and did not have proper licenses. The results of this study could be used to make drivers/riders more aware of the cognitive aspects that contribute to road safety.

Abstract

There is a high rate of intimate partner violence (IPV) in urban settings. Previous research has found that masculine gender role stress (MGRS) and anger predict IPV. This study aimed to examine the moderating role of anger on the relationship between MGRS and IPV. The sample included 366 urban male college students across Java, who completed an online questionnaire. Measures used were the MGRS-A, BPAQ, and CTS2. Using Hayes’ moderation analysis, the model obtained a significant fit (R2 = .1039, F (3,362) = 13.994, p = .000). Both MGRS (p = .0264) and trait anger (p = .000) predicted IPV. The interaction between MGRS and anger was not significant (p = .0797). However, examination of the conditional effects revealed that there was a significant association between MGRS and IPV at moderate (p = .0264) and high levels of trait anger (p = .0058), but not at low levels of anger. Future studies should investigate the roles of anger expression, control behavior, and anger rumination.

Abstract

In the midst of increasing academic pressure, the subjective well-being of high school students tends to decline as they undergo the school years. In this regard, measuring subjective well-being in specific contexts is necessary to ensure thorough and accurate information that better represents their situation. For this purpose, the study uses subjective well-being in school, which consists of school satisfaction, positive affect, and negative affect. Out of the variables that correlate to subjective well-being in school, achievement goal orientation needs more attention. Thus, the study examines the effects of each type of goal orientation on subjective well-being in school using a 2 × 2 framework. Based on linear regression analysis, mastery-approach goal, performance-approach goal, and performance-avoidance goal have a significant effect on the subjective well-being of 11thgrade high school students in school. However, the opposite is true for the mastery-avoidance goal. The research supports previous research and provides broad information about achievement goal orientation as described by the 2 × 2 framework.

Abstract

Children with hearing impairment or deafness experience cognitive function delays but not limited visual-spatial working memory, which is commonly used to solve mathematical problems. Previous studies have discovered that visual or spatial working memory in such children is different because of the communication methods that rely on vision. This study explores the visual-spatial working memory in children with deafness by measuring the memory of 70 elementary school children with deafness and identifying their communication methods through questionnaires. The questionnaires were completed by the children’s parents. The visual-spatial working memory measurement utilized the Lion Game through Zoom meetings. Consequently, it was found that there was no significant difference in visual-spatial working memory capacity in children with hearing impairment using oral, total communication, and sign language. It can be argued that in children with deafness, their visual-spatial working memory span with oral, total, and sign language communication methods have still not reached the maximum point. The use of hearing aids, popular among such children also did not significantly enhance visual-spatial working memory capacity. This research recommends parents be more attentive not only toward the communication methods of children with deafness but also to their cognitive function development.

Abstract

Transportation needs are increasing along with traffic problems, such as traffic accidents, congestion, and density of motorized vehicles. In Indonesia, especially in its large, crowded cities, accidents involving two-wheeled motorized vehicles are frequent. Human factors such as personality and behavior are a cause of accidents involving careless driving. Additionally, sensation seeking and the attitude toward reckless behavior influence the reckless behavior of motorcyclists in Indonesia, especially in the Jabodetabek area. Methods: data were obtained through a self-report questionnaire. The 69 participants (F:40, M:29) were motorbike riders aged 18–35 years who had an Indonesian driving license type C and had ridden a motorcycle daily for a minimum of 2 years. The questionnaire comprised 17 items that measured sensation seeking and attitudes toward reckless riding. Prerequisite for mediating the relationship among the variables, sensation seeking must correlate with attitudes and reckless riding such that the attitude variable that is a mediator must also correlate with reckless riding. Therefore, in this study, the mediating effect of attitudes in the relation between sensation seeking and reckless riding was tested. Our result demonstrates that’s influence of reckless riding attitude as a partial mediator between sensation seeking and reckless riding.

Abstract

This study examined the mediating effects of affective commitment on the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention in international school teachers. Previous research that assumed the total organizational commitment score to be the mediator between job satisfaction and turnover intention, found that organizational commitment only partially mediated the relationship. Therefore, the present study contributes to the literature by focusing only the mediating effect of affective commitment as this variable has been identified as having the greatest effect on organizational outcomes compared to normative and continuance commitments. A survey was conducted on 80 teachers in an international school in Jakarta, Indonesia, the data analyzes from which found that affective commitment fully mediated the relationship between job satisfaction and turnover intention. Theoretical and practical implications are also given.
