Cyberbullying is a phenomenon that often occurs in adolescents and can be caused by conformity or personality. This study aimed to evaluate whether neurotic personality can strengthen or weaken the relationship between conformity and cyberbullying in adolescents. The participants were 140 adolescents aged 12–15 years old, all of whom were active social media users and had been involved in cyberbullying. Cyberbullying was measured on a scale created by the researchers (α = 0.863), conformity was measured using a peer conformity scale (α = 0.846), and neuroticism was measured using a scale that had been previously adapted into the Indonesian language and culture (α = 0.766). Data were analyzed quantitatively using PROCESS. The results showed that low levels of neuroticism could moderate or strengthen the relationship between conformity and cyberbullying. Future researchers might test moderating variables other than neuroticism to obtain new findings. Based on the current study, parents are advised to help children select their friendship environments to prevent cyberbullying behavior. Schools can create intervention programs to prevent cyberbullying, especially for adolescents who display neuroticism. School counselors and parents can create a positive friendship environment so that adolescents do not become perpetrators or victims of cyberbullying. Parents are additionally advised to limit the use of digital devices among their adolescents.

Based on the conservation of resources principle, behavior can be exhibited by an individual because of the resource investments that are deployed to obtain other resources. This study aims to examine the role of business acumen, innovative self-efficacy, and openness to experience, which are personal resources on innovative work behavior. The study involved leaders at PT X, an energy company in Indonesia (n = 232). The leaders were employees in senior management, middle management, or frontline management. Participants were selected using proportionate stratified sampling. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the research hypotheses. The study found that only business acumen (b = 0,22; p-value < 0,01) and openness to experience (b = 0.78; p-value < 0.01) can predict innovative work behavior. The results of this study provide alternative pathways for developing a more precise innovation-oriented leadership development program.

The high prevalence of quiet quitting (QQ) among Generation Z (a global average of 59%, with the figure in Indonesia being even higher, reaching 67.84%) indicates a profound problem within the current work industry. Particularly in the high-pressure financial sector, Gen Z is suspected to be highly susceptible to toxic work environment (TWE) and job insecurity (JI) as triggers for QQ. Therefore, this study aims to explore the moderating effects of organizational career growth (OCG) and grit on QQ’s relationship with TWE and JI, based on the Conservation of Resources Theory and using a quantitative approach. The sample consisted of 107 Gen Z employees in the financial sector. Data analysis was performed using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). The results demonstrate that TWE and JI have a positive and significant effect on QQ. OCG and grit significantly weaken the effect of TWE on QQ, but do not significantly moderate the effect of JI. These findings serve as a reference for organizations to anticipate QQ among Gen Z by providing clear career development paths, grit training programs, and a stable work environment through long-term contracts and open dialogue regarding company sustainability.

Today, three generations (Gen X, Y, Z) work together in various organizations, making it a challenge forleaders to manage cross-generational employees. In addition, previous studies have found low levels of organizationalcommitment and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) among Gen Y and Z employees. This study aimed to explain howgenerational differences moderate the relationships between transformational leadership style, organizationalcommitment, and OCB. The participants in this study were 216 employees in Semarang who belonged to Gen X, Y, and Z.Participants were recruited using convenience sampling. Data were analyzed using multigroup moderation on AMOS. Theresults showed that generational difference moderates the influence of transformational leadership style onorganizational commitment and OCB. The strongest generational influences on organizational commitment and OCB wereobserved in Gen Z.

Intensive smartphone use driven by fear of missing out (FoMO) is an early indicator of a student’s learning disengagement. Learning disengagement refers to students’ lack of engagement in the learning process due to distractions caused by smartphone use in the classroom. This research aimed to examine the relationship between FoMO and students’ learning disengagement. The sampling techniques used were multistage cluster sampling and disproportionate stratified random sampling, yielding a sample of 351 students (76 male and 275 female) from several public and private universities in Banda Aceh. Data were collected online and offline using the Learning Disengagement Scale and Online-Fear of Missing Out (ON-FoMO) Scale. Data analysis was conducted using Pearson’s product-moment correlation test. The findings indicate a positive relationship between FoMO and learning disengagement in students (r=0.606; p=0.000, p<0.05), suggesting that higher FoMO is associated with higher learning disengagement. The study indicates the need for strategic policies that require higher education institutions to implement smartphone use rules in class. This policy is important because it can improve students’ digital literacy, enabling them to distinguish between information relevant to academic activities.

Emotion regulation is a critical skill for individuals because it is related to emotion and responsemanagement. The development of emotion regulation can be influenced by many factors, including the relationship betweenmother and child. This research investigated the link between mother–child relationship and emotion regulation inemerging adults, aged 18 to 25 years old. A total of 191 emerging adults participated in the study by completing aquestionnaire that comprised two measurement tools: the Bandung Family Relationship Test (BFRT) and the EmotionRegulation Questionnaire (ERQ). Using this data, the researchers aimed to uncover whether each dimension in themother–child relationship is tied to emotion regulation in emerging adults. Hypothesis testing was conducted usinggeneral linear model (GLM) analysis. The results showed that vulnerability, acknowledgement, and justice inmother–child relationships are related to emotion regulation, specifically cognitive reappraisal and expressivesuppression strategies. Conversely, restrictiveness, affection, and trust were not found to have any interaction withemotion regulation strategies. This research suggests that these dimensions must be adjusted to align with thedevelopmental progression of this stage.

As part of the education community, students are expected to achieve academic goals. However, they oftenengage in academic procrastination due to distractions such as online gaming. The purpose of this study was toempirically determine the extent to which conscientiousness and self-regulated learning predict the academicprocrastination of students who play online games. The participants (N=119) were undergraduate students, aged 18-25years old, who actively played online games for at least 10 hours per week. The research instruments used wereSchouwenburg’s academic procrastination scale, the NEO Five-Factor Inventory-3 (conscientiousness items), andFitriani’s self-regulated learning scale. The results showed that conscientiousness and self-regulated learningcontribute significantly to the reduction of academic procrastination among students (F=319.702; p < 0.01; R2=0.846),indicating that self-control and conscientiousness play a crucial role in student learning behavior.

Academic burnout among university students is a critical issue because it significantly impacts both psychological well-being and academic performance. This study aims to develop a culturally relevant academic burnout scale tailored to the higher education context in Indonesia and to identify latent student profiles based on their burnout experiences. A total of 222 active students from various universities in Indonesia participated in this study. Construct validity of the scale was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), while profile analysis was conducted through latent profile analysis (LPA). The results indicated that the academic burnout scale comprises three main dimensions (exhaustion, cynicism, and inefficacy), with a total of 12 items, and meets the goodness-of-fit criteria with RMSEA < 0.08, CFI & TLI > 0.90, and SRMR < 0.08. The measurement results also demonstrated good reliability, as indicated by McDonald’s Omega (ω = 0.853). The profile analysis identified two latent student classes: the high-burnout group and the low-burnout group. These findings highlight the importance of employing contextually appropriate measurement tools and person-centered approaches in understanding the dynamics of academic burnout among Indonesian university students.

There are some inconsistencies in previous studies regarding the relation between adverse childhood experiences and perceived stress. On the other hand, some studies have found that adverse childhood experiences affect the body's stress-related brain regions, such as the amygdala and prefrontal cortex. This research aims to re-examine the role of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) in later perceived stress during the young adult phase. In total, 270 collegians (18-25 years old) in Yogyakarta completed the ACE-IQ and PSS-10 questionnaires. Data were analyzed using simple linear regression. The result indicates that adverse childhood experiences play a significant role in perceived stress in young adulthood (β = 20.5\%, p < 0.001). Moreover, these predictions are significant to both males and females. Despite these findings, the severity and profundity of the effect of ACEs were not quantitatively assessed. This highlights the need for subsequent research that provides more rigorous, detailed measurements of these variables. This research suggests early intervention for individuals with adverse childhood experiences to strengthen the protective factors against stress in adulthood.

Readiness to face technological developments refers to the readiness of lecturers to adapt to changes in the educationsector, which is increasingly using technology in every process. This readiness to change can be influenced by severalfactors, including work engagement and the psychological capital of the lecturers. This study aimed to explain the roleof work engagement and psychological capital on readiness to change using multiple linear regression analysis. Theparticipants in this study were lecturers from several public and private universities in Indonesia, grouped intoGenerations X and Y. Participants were recruited through convenience sampling, resulting in a total of 273participants. The results showed that work engagement and psychological capital simultaneously influence readiness tochange in Generation Y. Meanwhile, only work engagement can influence readiness to change in Generation X. The resultsof this study offer input for universities in Indonesia regarding recognizing the patterns of adjustment when it comesto each generation’s readiness to change in the face of challenges and demands to use the latest technologies ineducation.
