Abstract

This study aimed to assess how well the wellness, mindfulness, and gender of counselor candidates could predict their level of altruism. A total of 357 senior students from Guidance and Psychological Counseling programs across 18 universities in various Turkish cities participated. The data were collected using the Personal Information Form, Altruism Scale, Well-Star Scale, and Mindfulness Scale. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis indicated that these variables collectively explained 24% of the variance in altruism. Wellness and gender emerged as significant predictors of altruism among the candidates, with wellness being the strongest predictor. Notably, wellness was positively associated with altruism, and female candidates scored higher in altruism than their male counterparts. However, mindfulness did not significantly influence the prediction of altruism. The study’s results were examined in the context of the literature, and recommendations for counselor educators and researchers were provided based on these findings.

Abstract

This study explores the concept of peace among elementary school students in Sumatra, Indonesia, with a focus on Aceh, Bandar Lampung, Palembang, and Bengkulu. Using qualitative methods with peace inventories, interviews, and image analysis, the study examined how children understand peace, especially the difference between “positive” and “negative” peace. The results showed that students generally associate peace with the absence of conflict and violence (negative peace). However, they also associated it with cooperation, harmony, kindness, freedom and justice (positive peace). The findings highlight the importance of peace education in shaping comprehensive understanding from an early age. The implications of this study emphasize the need for learning strategies that deeply embed peace values, so that schools can play a role in building a culture of peace among children.

Abstract

The transition from offline to online learning is a challenge for teachers in effectively fulfilling their roles and necessitates openness and adaptability to change. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the role of grit as a mediator in the relationship between openness to experience and the effectiveness of teachers. This was carried out during distance learning among 211 vocational high school teachers in DKI Jakarta. The results showed significant indirect (ab = .321, p < .01, 95% CI [.177, .487]) and direct effects (c’ = 1.298, p < .01, 95% CI [.964, 1.633]). These results indicated that grit partially mediated the relationship between openness to experience and the effectiveness of teachers. Consequently, the study implied that fostering a high level of openness to experience enhanced grit and increased teachers' effectiveness.

Abstract

This study examines the complex interplay among Public Service Motivation (PSM), red tape, and work-related outcomes within Indonesia's public sector, utilizing a sample of 2,386 state-owned enterprise employees. Employing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling, we analyze PSM's influence on work engagement, affective commitment, and innovative work behavior while assessing red tape's moderating role. Our findings reveal that PSM significantly enhances work engagement and affective commitment. However, PSM does not directly predict innovative work behavior, suggesting innovation requires additional organizational support. Red tape negatively impacts engagement, commitment, and innovation, underscoring the need for process simplification. Work engagement mediates the relationship between PSM and affective commitment and innovation, highlighting its pivotal role. Notably, red tape does not moderate PSM’s effect on engagement, indicating PSM's resilience amid bureaucratic constraints. These insights emphasize the importance of fostering PSM to strengthen employee commitment and engagement. Additionally, policymakers must address bureaucratic inefficiencies and cultivate innovation-supportive environments to enhance public sector governance effectiveness.

Abstract

This study explores character-centric leadership, focusing on Pancasila and Astha Brata principles, to address global challenges like climate change. Using Kevin Cashman’s "Inside Out" approach, it examines how nature-inspired qualities—adaptability, cooperation, wisdom, and environmental respect—shape ethical leadership. Qualitative interviews with four experts highlight the integration of these values into leadership practices. Findings emphasize the importance of self-awareness, spiritual wisdom, and environmental ethics in fostering sustainable leadership. The research underscores the need for education systems to instill these values early, nurturing future leaders who prioritize humanity, diversity, and sustainability. This holistic approach aligns cultural values with modern leadership demands, offering solutions for complex global issues. The study also highlights the role of green policies and technological adaptation in addressing climate change. By combining Pancasila’s ethical framework, Astha Brata’s cultural guidance, and Cashman’s psychological insights, this research provides a comprehensive model for effective, value-driven leadership. These insights aim to inspire leaders to balance innovation with ecological responsibility, promoting long-term societal well-being.
