Abstract

Understanding and improving teacher well-being are essential prerequisites for effective teaching. However, studies on teacher well-being in Indonesia are few. This mixed-method study was conducted to identify the factors that influence the well-being of teachers in primary schools in Indonesia. Data were collected through self-rating and open-ended questions from 209 primary school teachers followed by semi-structured interviews with eight teachers. The results of the self- rating survey illustrated that the teachers were very satisfied with their lives as a teacher. Well-being was considered important in their work, because it can exert a positive impact on students. The results of the thematic analysis demonstrated that relational and professional dimensions are the most frequently cited themes in the responses as factors that support and inhibit well-being. The lack of learning facilities and infrastructure in schools are cited as the most inhibiting factors. The study discussed potential explanations for the findings in relation to teacher well-being.

Abstract

The increasing trend of higher education has led to a desire for higher quality education among migrant students. Migrant students typically face a variety of challenges from the moment they leave home, including the need to adapt to both new cultures and norms, as well as new educational experiences. The purpose of this study is to examine the adjustment factors of migrant students in Indonesia by synthesizing findings from relevant studies. The method used is meta-analysis, this analysis explores the multifaceted relationship between various factors and the adjustment process of migrant students in the context of higher education in Indonesia. The procedure was to develop review questions, develop inclusion and exclusion criteria, conduct a literature search strategy, identify articles, abstract and assess the risk of bias, and synthesize findings. The databases used were Google Scholar, Garuda Portal and Microsoft Academic. There were 16 articles included in the inclusion category. The results showed that personality and intelligence factors, learning process factors, environmental factors and cultural factors significantly improved the adjustment of migrant students in Indonesia with pooled ORs of 0.48 (95% CI 0.36-0.59) for personality and intelligence factors, 0.52 (95% CI 0.33-0.72) for learning process factors, 0.35 (95% CI 0.21-0.50) for environmental factors, and -0.16 (95% CI -1.48-1.15) for cultural factors. By integrating insights from multiple sources, this meta-analysis provides a comprehensive understanding of the complexities involved in the adjustment of overseas students in Indonesia. The findings provide valuable insights for developing tailored support mechanisms, interventions, and policies to enhance the academic and social success of international students in higher education settings in Indonesia.

Abstract

Accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and driven by technological advances as well as changing attitudes toward traditional office environments, the workplace landscape has experienced a rapid shift toward remote work. Regardless of urban employees’ interest in remote work, studies have yet to explore the impact of online presence on employee performance as mediated by workplace well-being. A total of 132 private and government employees completed three questionnaires. The results supported the hypothesis that workplace well-being mediates the effect of online presence on performance. The findings also suggest that employees with stronger online presence tend to have better workplace well-being, which then leads to higher performance levels. These results shed light on the importance of managing online presence in remote work settings. Organizations must recognize the impact of online presence on their employees’ well-being and ultimately their performance by considering policies and their enablers to support presence at the virtual workplace.

Abstract

The development of coastal regions is a pivotal aspect of Indonesia's ‘poros maritim dunia’ national agenda. This study focuses on Untung Jawa Island, a designated 'tourism village' off the coast of Jakarta, to investigate how the aspirations and perspectives of its young population align with this developmental drive. This study focuses on the viewpoints of the active Karang Taruna group members on the island, as they represent the youth engaged in community development. Utilizing a qualitative exploratory phenomenology design, this study employs Focused Group Discussions (FGD) to gain insights into how the youth perceive their potential career based on their career adaptability.

Abstract

Well-being is one of the most important elements and is known to be closely related to various aspects of human life, such as physiological health. Previous studies demonstrate that the natural environment positively contributes to well-being. However, most research on the natural environment and well-being mainly focuses on situational factors, such as contact with the natural environment, and ignores dispositional factors, such as nature relatedness. Thus, the current study aims to examine the role of nature relatedness (dispositional factor) and contact with nature (situational factor) in improving well-being among urban communities in Indonesia. This study uses a cross-sectional design and recruits 596 adults from various urban areas in Indonesia. Data were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that the level of nature relatedness positively predicts well-being, while contact with nature partially mediates this relationship. Individuals with high levels of nature relatedness tend to make contact with the natural environment. This contact with nature ultimately predicts an increase in well-being. Thus, the study proves the mechanism that underlies the relationship between nature relatedness and well-being and illustrates that situational and dispositional factors play an essential role in well-being among urban societies.

Abstract

In Indonesia, most cases of violence against women occur as domestic and dating violence, that is, intimate partner violence or IPV. Such cases report relatively more prevalent, severe posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS), but studies on protective factors are limited. Therefore, this study examined whether forgiveness and perceived social support among young women who have experienced IPV by former partners negatively predicted PTSS. We used the Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Checklist-5, the Heartland Forgiveness Scale, and the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support. The study analyzed data from 60 young women (Mage= 22.4) who had experienced IPV that lasted an average of nearly 2 years. Multiple regression analysis showed that forgiveness (r = −0.41, p < 0.01) and perceived social support (r = −0.29, p < 0.05) negatively predicted PTSS. Further results suggested that forgiving the perpetrator and receiving support from a significant other did not predict lower PTSS symptoms (r = 0.20, p > 0.05; r = −0.02, p > 0.05). Thus, fostering forgiveness and social support, but not with the perpetrator, is linked to lessened PTSS for young women.

Abstract

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia, this research examines the impact of online learning readiness, academic motivation, self-regulated learning, and attitudes toward e-learning on undergraduate students' perceived learning experiences in distance education. Employing a quantitative design, this study analyzes responses from a sample of 540 undergraduate students using conditional process analysis. The methodology includes the use of structured questionnaires as instruments to assess the constructs of online learning readiness, academic motivation, self-regulated learning, and attitudes towards e-learning. The findings reveal that online learning readiness directly and indirectly influences perceived learning through the mediating role of academic motivation. Additionally, self-regulated learning and positive attitudes toward e-learning amplify the impact of academic motivation on perceived learning, though they do not condition the indirect effect of online learning readiness on perceived learning. This suggests that well-prepared and academically motivated students are more likely to perceive their learning positively in online settings.

Abstract

Despite growing mental health literacy, a gender gap remains in accessing professional assistance, with men often hesitating to seek assistance despite exhibiting poor mental health indicators. This quantitative study investigates the contribution of traditional masculinity ideology to professional help-seeking attitudes among Chinese–Indonesian men using hierarchical regression analysis. Data were collected from 115 Chinese–Indonesian men aged 18–25 years (M = 21.757; SD = 2.050) using the Masculine Role Norms Inventory-Short Form (MRNI-SF) and Attitudes toward Seeking Professional Psychological Help-Short Form (ATSPPH-SF). Results revealed that traditional masculinity ideology significantly predicts (11.4%) professional help-seeking attitudes among young Chinese–Indonesian men. This study suggests the adoption of a culturally sensitive and inclusive approach to masculinity to mitigate the stigma surrounding professional help-seeking among Chinese–Indonesian youth.

Abstract

Mindful parenting benefits both parents and children; however, Indonesia lacks a valid and reliable tool for it. This study aims to develop a mindful parenting scale (MPS) as an effective tool for parents of children aged 3–6 years. The MPS is a multidimensional scale comprising five dimensions based on the theories of previous researchers (Kabat-Zinn and Kabat-Zinn and Duncan et al.). The study involved 326 participants with marriage durations of 2–32 years (M = 8.4, SD = 4.53). The results demonstrate that the final version of the MPS exhibits high internal consistency for the total score and each dimension. Additionally, confirmatory factor analysis confirmed that the multidimensional MPS aligns well with the model and possesses good convergent validity. The development of the MPS is crucial for researchers and practitioners in further to better understand, assess, and design interventions related to mindful parenting.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the level of career orientation of junior high school students as a first step in providing career interventions. The subjects in this study were junior high school students from class IX in Samarinda City, comprising three schools with 69 students. The sample selection was obtained using a stratified random sampling technique. Researchers use the career orientation scale as the research instrument, whereas the data analysis technique uses descriptive analysis and an independent t-test. The descriptive analysis results show that the career orientation level of junior high school students in Samarinda City tends to be low. The independent t-test analysis results between the three schools show no difference in the level of student career orientation (F = 0.13 and p = 0.875). Therefore, low levels of student career orientation tend to be experienced by all schools (group A, group B, and group C). Thus, the schools should socialize on the importance of career planning from the junior high school level so students can choose school majors in high school according to their potential.
