Abstract

Today, some start-ups in Indonesia have failed in their development, one of the reasons is that they didn’t really present innovative solutions to answer society’s needs. Therefore, an appropriate innovation strategy is needed. This study aims to determine the influence of empowering leadership on innovative work behavior through the mediating role of proactive personality. This research used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design. The subjects in this study were 200 start-up employees in the Jabodetabek area with a purposive sampling technique, who are aged 20-40 years old, and minimum of one year of work experience. The research instruments used are Janssen’s Innovative Work Behavior Scale, Amundsen & Martinsen’s Empowering Leadership Scale, and Bateman & Crant’s Proactive Personality Scale. The analysis technique used is the Macro PROCESS by Hayes. The outcome demonstrates that the innovative work behavior of start-up employees in the Jabodetabek area is influenced by empowering leadership, which is also mediated by the employees' proactive personality. This research implies that leaders who apply empowering leadership provide more flexibility for employees, so they are likely to be more proactive, which can indirectly increase their innovative work behavior in carrying out work roles and tasks in the company.

Abstract

Depression is a mental health concern that is prevalent worldwide, including among university students. This study aims to examine the mediating role of psychological well-being on the relationship between resilience and depression among Muslim students in Indonesia. Two hundred forty Muslim students at one Islamic college institution participated in this study. Participants completed the Indonesian version of the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale, Psychological Well-being Scale, and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. The results show resilience has a significant negative correlation with depression; the higher the resilience, the lower the depression will be. Moreover, the mediation analysis shows that psychological well-being fully mediated the relationship between resilience and depression among Muslim students. The relationship between psychological well-being and depression in Muslim students who were participants in this research can be explained using the dual continua mental health paradigm. Participants tend to have either a high level of psychological well-being and depression or low levels of psychological well-being and depression.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between perfectionism traits and affect on academic dishonesty in college students. This study involved 98 students as participants who were voluntarily filling out the survey after the final exams. Data were collected using the academic dishonesty questionnaire, the multidimensional perfectionism scale, and the positive-negative affect scale. Data were analysed using a correlation and comparative approach. The study found that only the socially prescribed perfectionism domain positively correlated with academic dishonesty in college students. The effect of socially prescribed perfectionism was diminished by the presence of emotions while controlling several demographic variables as covariates. Positive affect shows a greater effect on reducing the possibility of academic dishonesty occurrence. It highlighted that perfectionism may not be directly associated with academic dishonesty and limitations of self-report as a measure of dishonesty in college students.

Abstract

Coping strategies help manage stress in challenging social contexts, especially for adolescents facing unique developmental challenges. Their effectiveness depends on context, individual traits, social responses, and sociocultural factors. This study aimed to examine the model of adolescents’ coping strategies in the social context, viewed from the peer interaction in school, affected by adolescents’ self-esteem. 530 senior high school students were involved as participants. There were 245 male students and 285 female students aged between 15 and 18 years old (M= 16.52, SD=0.673) in five schools in Bantul. Coping strategy, peer interaction, and self-esteem scales were developed to collect data. Data were analysed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The model exhibited a good fit and showed that adolescents’ coping strategies were affected by self-esteem and mediated by peer interaction. This study demonstrated the significant effect of self-esteem on peer interactions among adolescents. Adolescents may possess a good coping strategy when having good peer interaction and self-esteem. Further findings indicate that most participants’ problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies, peer interaction, and self-esteem were categorized as the low and high category. However, the low category of each variable needs to be considered

Abstract

Excessive aggressiveness during middle childhood can interfere with social functioning. Emotion regulation skills are essential at this stage, and training these skills is considered a relevant strategy to reduce aggressive behavior.This study aims to examine the effect of an emotional regulation training intervention on students aged 10–12 years at Elementary School “X” Bandung. Aggressiveness was measured using the Aggression Questionnaire by Buss and Perry (1992), Emotional regulation training provided as the intervention, while the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) by Gross and John (2003) was used as a manipulation check. The study employed a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest control group design with correlated groups. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test to assess within-group differences and the Mann–Whitney U test for between-group comparisons. The results showed a significant reduction in aggressiveness among students who received the intervention (p = 0.000; p < 0.05). Based on Cohen’s (1988) classification, the intervention demonstrated a strong effect size (r = 0.88). These findings indicate that emotion regulation training effectively decreases aggressive behavior in middle childhood. The study highlights the importance of incorporating emotion regulation programs into elementary education to foster emotional competence and reduce behavioral problems

Abstract

This study aims to examine the predictive roles of social intelligence and self-efficacy in adolescents’ career maturity. The participants were 89 adolescents in Makassar City, ranging from secondary to higher education levels, selected through purposive random sampling. Data were collected using standardised measures of social intelligence, self-efficacy, and career maturity. Multiple hierarchical regression analysis using the R programming language was conducted to test the hypothesised model. The results revealed that self-efficacy significantly predicted career maturity, while social intelligence contributed indirectly by enhancing self-efficacy, which in turn supported adolescents’ career development. These findings emphasise that strengthening self-belief through mastery experiences and positive reinforcement plays a more crucial role in shaping career maturity, whereas social intelligence facilitates interpersonal understanding and adaptive social interactions that indirectly foster self-efficacy. The study suggests that interventions combining self-efficacy enhancement with social intelligence training could be an effective strategy to support adolescents in achieving their career goals. Although the sample size was relatively modest, a supplementary Monte Carlo simulation demonstrated sufficient statistical power and model sensitivity to support the robustness of these findings

Abstract

While transformational leadership (TL) is widely recognized as a key driver of innovative work behavior (IWB), empirical evidence on the mediating role of work–family enrichment (WFE) remains inconsistent, particularly in the Indonesian FMCG industry. This study addresses this gap by examining whether WFE mediates the relationship between TL and IWB. A quantitative approach with accidental sampling was employed, involving 101 married employees of X Company and its subsidiaries. TL, IWB, and WFE were measured using the Global Transformational Leadership Scale (Carless et al., 2000), the Innovative Work Behavior Scale (Janssen, 2000), and the Work-Family Enrichment Scale (Carlson et al., 2006). Data were analyzed using path analysis with mediation testing. The results indicate that TL significantly predicts WFE (B = .45; p < .001). However, WFE does not mediate the relationship between TL and IWB (B = .03; p = .471). TL maintains a significant direct effect on IWB (B = .21; p = .034). These findings suggest that employees’ innovative behavior is driven primarily by direct leadership influences rather than by work-family processes. This study highlights the strategic importance of transformational leadership in fostering employee innovation in the FMCG industry.

Abstract

Repatriation is often assumed to be a simple process. But in reality, it brings complex psychological, social, and structural challenges. This study aims to explore how Indonesian migrant workers returning from the United Arab Emirates (UAE) experienced and made sense of resilience during their repatriation journey. We conducted a qualitative phenomenological design using in-depth, open-ended semi-structured interviews that allowed participants to narrate their lived experiences. Five male participants who have worked in the energy sector were selected through purposive sampling. The analysis used interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) and identified three overlapping aspects of resilience. First, protective foundations including family connections, resource readiness, and transformative development served as buffers that provided initial stability during uncertainty. Second, adaptive processes reflected the ways participants adjusted to reduced income, re-entered the labor market, rebuilt interpersonal relationships, and handled bureaucratic demands. Finally, inner strengths including spiritual beliefs and personal interpretation of resilience helped the returnees sustain in the long term. These findings portray resilience as dynamic, multi-layered, and offer insights to guide reintegration support for returning migrants to their home country
