Abstract

Rapid changes in the labour market require vocational students to develop career readiness supported by employability skills and psychological resources for career decision-making. This study tested the direct and indirect effects of employability skills on career readiness via career decision-making self-efficacy (CDMSE) among Grade-12 Muslim vocational students. Using a cross-sectional design, all students at SMK Multicomp Depok, Indonesia (N = 215) were surveyed using saturated sampling, with Muslim status verified through school records. Adapted measures were used: the Self-Perceived Employability Scale (α = .96), the Career Decision-Making Self-Efficacy Scale (α = .95), and the Student Career Readiness Scale (α = .98). Mediation was examined using PROCESS Macro for SPSS (Model 4) with bootstrap resampling. Employability skills significantly predicted CDMSE (b = 1.21, SE = .12, t = 10.22, p < .01; R² = .33) and career readiness (direct effect controlling for CDMSE: b = .66, SE = .11, t = 6.09, p < .01). CDMSE also significantly predicted career readiness (b = .42, SE = .05, t = 8.13, p < .01; model R² = .53). The indirect effect of employability skills on career readiness via CDMSE was significant (b = .51, SE = .09, 95% BC CI [.35, .70]), indicating partial mediation. The findings support Social Cognitive Career Theory and suggest that guidance and counseling programs should integrate employability development with interventions that strengthen decision-making self-efficacy. Limitations include the cross-sectional design, self-report measures, and a single-school sample; future research should use longitudinal designs and broader settings to improve generalizability.

Abstract

Resilience plays a crucial role in helping students cope with prolonged grief, as experiences of loss can negatively affect their psychological well-being. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of self-efficacy and self-esteem on students’ resilience in dealing with prolonged grief. This study employed a cross-sectional predictive design involving 346 students from Malang State University selected through purposive sampling.  This study used three instruments measuring self-efficacy (X₁), self-esteem (X₂), and resilience (Y), all of which employed a Likert scale and were tested for validity and reliability.  The reliability test showed α = .856 for the self-efficacy scale, α = .831 for the self-esteem scale, and α = .745 for the resilience scale. The results of the analysis after conducting validity tests and regression tests yielded the regression model Y=6.742+.412X₁+.283X₂+ε.  The coefficients were β₁ (self-efficacy) = .412 (t = 4.568; p < .001) and β₂ (self-esteem) = .283 (t = 2.476; p = .014). The results indicate that self-efficacy and self-esteem significantly and positively predict resilience. This study contributes theoretically by supporting a positive psychology framework and providing recommendations for preventive interventions, although its cross-sectional design limits causal inference. Future research is encouraged to employ longitudinal or experimental designs and to include mediating or moderating variables such as social support, coping strategies, or personality factors to strengthen the explanatory model.

Abstract

This study examined the multicultural personality profile of professional counselor candidates and the gender fairness of the Multicultural Personality Questionnaire–Short Form (MPQ-SF). Using a quantitative descriptive design with Rasch-based psychometric analysis, the study involved 90 students from the Guidance and Counseling Teacher Professional Education Program (Pendidikan Profesi Guru Bimbingan dan Konseling [PPG BK]) at Universitas Negeri Makassar, comprising 20 males and 70 females with a mean age of 25.01 years. Data were collected using the 40-item MPQ-SF, which measures cultural empathy, flexibility, social initiative, emotional stability, and open-mindedness. Descriptive results showed relatively strong cultural empathy, flexibility, and open-mindedness, while social initiative and emotional stability remained moderate. After six misfitting persons were excluded, the final Rasch calibration was conducted with 84 respondents and showed acceptable psychometric quality, including person reliability of .89, item reliability of .96, raw variance explained by measures of 38.0%, and unexplained variance in the first contrast of 8.2%. Gender-based Differential Item Functioning (DIF) analysis indicated that most items functioned comparably across groups, although five items (14, 24, 25, 34, and 36) showed significant DIF. These findings suggest that the MPQ-SF provides a useful multicultural personality profile for counselor candidates, but gender-sensitive items require cautious interpretation. Future studies should involve more diverse samples and examine additional DIF sources, including ethnicity.

Abstract

This study examined Muslim postgraduate students’ verbal creativity and learning skills as an empirical basis for designing data-based guidance and counseling programs in Islamic higher education. A quantitative descriptive design was employed, involving 18 postgraduate students selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using the Verbal Creativity Test and a 63-item Learning Skills Questionnaire in Higher Education, which demonstrated excellent reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = .951). The verbal creativity test showed that 66.7% of students were classified in the average category, 27.8% were below average, and 5.5% were borderline. These findings indicate that most students had adequate verbal creativity, although some still showed limitations in fluency, flexibility, originality, and elaboration. The learning skills profile showed varied achievement across six dimensions: selecting and completing study loads, participating effectively in lectures, memory and concentration, completing assignments and written work, test-taking skills, and learning from and with others. The lowest areas of concern were assignment completion, academic writing, learning resilience, reference use, and collaborative learning. These results suggest that students require structured support in academic writing, learning regulation, reference searching, test preparation, self-concept development, and collaborative learning. The findings provide a basis for designing guidance and counseling services through information services, content mastery, individual counseling, group guidance, and group counseling. The proposed program integrates psychological support with relevant Qur’anic and hadith-based values to strengthen students’ self-regulation, academic responsibility, and verbal creativity. This study contributes to the development of data-based counseling services for Muslim students in higher education.
