Abstract

This study investigates the critical role of cross-cultural perspectives in understanding intimacy and communication within marriage. As societies become increasingly diverse, traditional marriage counseling approaches often overlook the unique needs and experiences of couples from varied cultural backgrounds. This article aims to explore how cultural values, norms, and communication styles shape the experiences of intimacy and influence relationship dynamics among married individuals. The research highlights that intimacy is not merely a personal experience but is heavily influenced by cultural context, which dictates how affection, emotional support, and conflict resolution are perceived and expressed. By analyzing various counseling models, including those that are culturally informed, this study emphasizes the need for adaptability in therapeutic practices. It also discusses the potential barriers that culturally diverse couples face in counseling settings, such as misinterpretation of behaviors and expectations rooted in differing cultural backgrounds. Furthermore, the article provides practical recommendations for marriage counselors to create more inclusive and effective interventions. This includes the necessity of integrating cultural competence training into counselor education programs and developing tailored counseling strategies that acknowledge and respect cultural differences. By doing so, counselors can better support couples in navigating their unique challenges and enhancing their relational satisfaction. Ultimately, this study advocates for a shift in marriage counseling paradigms to embrace a more holistic and culturally sensitive approach, thereby improving outcomes for couples from diverse backgrounds.

Abstract

Climate change has emerged as a significant global challenge that profoundly impacts various aspects of life, particularly mental health, and this is especially true for young adults who often experience heightened anxiety and distress in response to environmental changes. The present study investigates the role of social counseling as a vital intervention in mitigating the psychological effects of climate change anxiety. By employing a cross-cultural comparative approach, the research engages participants from diverse cultural backgrounds, allowing for a nuanced understanding of how social counseling practices can be effectively adapted to meet the unique needs of different populations. Findings underscore that effective counseling interventions encompass essential components such as providing emotional support, educating individuals about climate change, and fostering the development of coping skills, all of which not only assist individuals in managing their anxiety but also empower them to take proactive measures regarding their environmental concerns. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of culturally sensitive methodologies in designing counseling programs, as varying cultural contexts significantly influence perceptions of climate change and responses to anxiety. In light of these insights, the research advocates for integrated strategies that consider cultural nuances when addressing climate change anxiety, thereby offering valuable guidance for mental health practitioners, educators, and policymakers. By fostering resilience among young individuals and recognizing the intersection between environmental issues and mental health, the study contributes to a growing body of literature that calls for holistic approaches to support the mental well-being of future generations as they navigate the complexities of an ever-changing environment.

Abstract

Human resources play a vital role in the sustainability of industries and organizations. As such, human resource management (HRM) is responsible for providing competent workforce, maintaining its quality, and managing labor costs efficiently. One of the key challenges faced by organizations today is the high turnover intention among employees particularly within Generation Z, which is known for having distinct characteristics and expectations compared to previous generations. This study aims to examine the influence of transformational leadership on turnover intention among Generation Z employees, with organizational commitment serving as a mediating variable. Data were collected through a survey involving 193 Generation Z employees working at Company ABC. The analysis was conducted using path analysis techniques. The results indicate a significant indirect effect of transformational leadership on turnover intention through organizational commitment, with a coefficient of -0.135. This suggests that transformational leadership can meaningfully reduce employees’ intention to leave, particularly when it fosters stronger commitment to the organization. Furthermore, the findings confirm that organizational commitment effectively mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and turnover intention. These insights offer valuable implications for organizational management in addressing turnover issues among Generation Z employees especially by cultivating a workplace environment that promotes transformational leadership development.
