Abstract

Workload in the police environment, particularly among Sat Samapta personnel, has broad physical and psychological implications. The demands of full-time readiness, sudden assignments, and dual responsibilities involving field and administrative duties make workload not only a matter of task volume but also a source of emotional pressure. This study aims to understand the subjective meaning of workload as experienced by members of the Sidoarjo Police Sat Samapta Unit. Using a qualitative approach with Colaizzi's phenomenological method, this study involved six active Sat Samapta personnel selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed to identify the central themes of their work experiences. The findings show that workload is shaped by personnel imbalance, changing organizational policies, and high public expectations. Its impacts include physical fatigue, emotional stress, health problems, and role conflict in personal life. At the same time, personnel demonstrated various coping strategies, including problem-focused and emotion-focused coping, which reflect their efforts to adapt to work pressure. This study highlights the importance of understanding workload as a multidimensional phenomenon involving perception, emotion, and adaptive action. The practical implications of this study point to the need for more humane work policies, balanced task distribution, and psychosocial support to maintain personnel well-being and sustainable police performance.

Abstract

Anxiety and stress are major occupational health concerns that threaten employee well-being and organizational productivity. This study examined the effect of trust issues on anxiety and stress among employees at BPS-Statistics Indonesia, Sidoarjo Regency. Using a quantitative causal-comparative design with saturated sampling, the study included all 30 active employees of the agency. Trust issues were measured with the Team Trust Scale as adapted by Al Zahra et al. (2019), while anxiety and stress were assessed using the corresponding subscales of the DASS-42 (Depression Anxiety Stress Scale) in its Indonesian-language adaptation. Two simple linear regression analyses were conducted in JASP (version 18) at α = 0.10, a threshold appropriate for exploratory research with small samples (Cohen, 1992). Trust issues significantly and positively predicted work stress  and were positively associated with anxiety levels. Demographic analysis further revealed that male employees, those with ≤5 years of service, outsourced staff, and employees with secondary-level education reported higher trust issues, stress, and anxiety than their counterparts. These findings underscore the need to strengthen interpersonal trust through transparent communication, inclusive integration of employees, and structured psychological support programs.

Abstract

The phenomenon of working students is increasingly common. Students often struggle to balance their time between completing work assignments and academic tasks, as they must simultaneously manage their studies, careers, and family responsibilities. Consequently, achieving a healthy work-life balance is essential for students to actively fulfill their roles in both professional and personal spheres. This balance often relies on family support as a primary external factor, while job stress also significantly affects an individual's work-life balance. This study aims to examine the effect of family support on work-life balance, mediated by job stress. Using an explanatory quantitative design, the study sampled 260 students at Universitas Terbuka Medan. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) executed through the SmartPLS software. The results indicate that job stress mediates the effect of family support on students' work-life balance. These findings contribute to addressing low work-life balance among students, highlighting how it is influenced by family support through the mediating role of job stress.

Abstract

Human behavior and cognitive patterns are significantly shaped by the environment. One psychological construct influenced by this context is the locus of control. This study aimed to compare the orientation of Levenson's locus of control components (Internal, Chance, and Powerful Others) across populations living in urban, suburban, and rural areas. This study employed a non-probability sampling technique involving 392 participants aged 18–40 years. Data were analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) via JASP. The results indicated no significant differences in the Internal and Chance Locus of Control components. However, a significant difference was found in the Powerful Others Locus of Control component. Post-hoc analysis revealed significant disparities between the urban and suburban groups, as well as between urban and rural groups, whereas no significant difference was observed between suburban and rural groups. These findings imply the necessity of tailoring psychological interventions based on residential background to enhance the effectiveness of individual treatment.

Abstract

Organizational commitment is one of the main issues in the food and beverage industry, which relates to dynamic work conditions, high job demands, and relatively high employee turnover rates. Leader-member exchange (LMX) is particularly considered one of the factors that potentially contribute to the development of employees’ organizational commitment. This study aimed to examine the role of LMX as a predictor of organizational commitment and the three dimensions within, including affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment among employees in the food and beverage industry. The participants consisted of 82 employees of Food and Beverage X company. This study employed a quantitative approach using regression analysis to test a total of four research hypotheses. The findings showed that LMX positively and significantly predicted organizational commitment, affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment. These findings indicate that the quality of the relationship between supervisors and subordinates contributes to employees’ emotional attachment, considerations to remain in the organization, and sense of moral obligation toward the organization within the food and beverage industry context. This study implies that strengthening the quality of working relationships between supervisors and employees may serve as one of the organizational strategies to enhance employee commitment and retention
