<![CDATA[The growing dominance of Generation Z in the workforce necessitates a more nuanced understanding of work–life balance and its implications for employee behavior. Previous studies have predominantly conceptualized work–life balance as a unidimensional construct, leaving uncertainty regarding which specific dimensions are most influential in predicting counterproductive work behavior (CWB). This study examined the effects of four dimensions of work–life balance on CWB, with job stress proposed as a mediating mechanism among Generation Z employees in Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 208 employees aged 18–27 years. A mediation model was used to estimate the direct and indirect relationships among the study variables. The results indicated that personal life interference with work was negatively associated with CWB (β = −0.259, 95% CI [−1.827, −0.224], p = .012). Personal life enhancement of work also demonstrated a significant negative association with CWB (β = −0.364, 95% CI [−4.021, −1.553], p < .001), whereas the other two dimensions showed no significant effects. Job stress did not significantly mediate the relationships between the dimensions of work–life balance and CWB (p > .05). These findings demonstrate that the dimensions of work–life balance do not contribute equally to counterproductive behavior, underscoring the importance of adopting a multidimensional approach. The use of significant-other ratings to assess CWB also reduces reliance on self-reported counterproductive behavior. Practically, organizations should implement supportive workplace policies and counseling services aimed at strengthening employees’ emotion regulation, coping capacities, and management of work–personal life conflicts.]]>

<![CDATA[Career exploration is an important process that helps adolescents understand themselves, obtain career information, and consider future educational and occupational alternatives. This study examined the relationship between peer influence and future time perspective and career exploration among high school students. Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 212 12th-grade students at SMA Negeri 16 Semarang, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. The instruments used were the Career Exploration Scale (CES), Peer Influence Questionnaire, and Future Time Perspective Scale (FTPS). Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that peer influence and future time perspective significantly predicted career exploration, F(2,209) = 25.68, p < .001, explaining 19.7% of the variance (R² = .197). Peer influence was found to be a stronger predictor (B = 0.562, β = 0.333, p < .001) than future time perspective (B = 0.322, β = 0.185, p = .007). These findings highlight the importance of both social and individual factors in adolescents’ career exploration.]]>

<![CDATA[This study investigated the role of self-regulated learning, self-leadership, and grit in predicting the academic achievement of students participating in the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka program. The study was conducted in response to the increasing demand for students’ independent learning capacities within higher education transformation programs. This study used a quantitative correlational approach and involved 321 university students at UPGRIS enrolled in the program. The researchers collected the data with the Self-Regulated Learning Scale, Self-Leadership Scale, Grit Scale, and students’ Grade Point Average as indicators of academic achievement. Then, the researchers analyzed the data using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling. The findings revealed that self-regulated learning significantly enhanced self-leadership and grit. In addition, self-regulated learning, self-leadership, and grit significantly contributed to academic achievement. Self-leadership and grit also mediated the influence of self-regulated learning on academic achievement. These findings underscore the importance of strengthening students’ self-management, persistence, and leadership capacities to optimize academic success in independent learning programs. ]]>

<![CDATA[Family well-being in vulnerable livelihood contexts is shaped not only by economic conditions but also by internal and relational family processes. This study examines the effects of resilience investment, social support, and mother–child emotional relationship quality on the subjective well-being of fishing and farming families. A cross-sectional survey of 200 wives was conducted using purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The results show that resilience investment, social support, and emotional relationship quality have significant direct effects on subjective well-being, with resilience investment emerging as the strongest predictor. Social support also significantly contributes to the quality of mother–child emotional relationships. Furthermore, emotional relationship quality partially mediates the effect of social support on subjective well-being, indicating the importance of relational mechanisms within the family. The model demonstrates moderate explanatory power in predicting subjective well-being. These findings highlight resilience investment as a proactive family process and position emotional relationship quality as a key mechanism linking social support to family well-being.]]>

<![CDATA[Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is essential for improving service quality, yet the motivational mechanism through which strength-based leadership promotes OCB among Indonesian millennial civil servants remains unclear. Guided by Self-Determination Theory, this study examined Harmonious Passion as a mediator between Strength-Based Leadership and OCB. A quantitative, non-experimental, two-wave time-lagged survey was conducted with 256 Indonesian millennial civil servants. Data were analyzed using Hayes’ PROCESS Macro Model 4. Strength-Based Leadership positively predicted Harmonious Passion (b = .380, p < .001), while Harmonious Passion positively predicted OCB (b = .340, p < .001). The direct effect of Strength-Based Leadership on OCB was nonsignificant (b = .088, p = .073), whereas the indirect effect through Harmonious Passion was significant (b = .129, 95% CI [.060, .212]), indicating full mediation. These findings extend Self-Determination Theory and suggest that public organizations should develop strength-based leadership practices to cultivate harmonious passion and enhance discretionary employee behavior.]]>

<![CDATA[Burnout remains a major occupational health concern among nurses, particularly in the post-COVID-19 era, where prolonged job demands continue to compromise psychological well-being and healthcare quality. Although emotional intelligence and social support have been identified as important protective resources, limited evidence has simultaneously examined their roles while accounting for heterogeneity among nurses. This study investigated the relationships between emotional intelligence, social support, and burnout among nurses at Arifin Achmad Regional Hospital, Riau Province. A quantitative cross-sectional correlational design was employed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Data were collected from 223 nurses selected through purposive sampling using the Wong and Law Emotional Intelligence Scale, the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and the Oldenburg Burnout Inventory. The findings revealed that both emotional intelligence and perceived social support were significant negative predictors of burnout, indicating that nurses with greater emotional competencies and stronger social support experienced lower levels of burnout. To further explore heterogeneity within the sample, Latent Profile Analysis identified two distinct subgroups: Moderate Resource Nurses (66.8%) and High Resource Nurses (33.2%), differentiated by their levels of emotional intelligence, social support, and burnout. These findings are consistent with the Job Demands–Resources theory, emphasizing that personal and social resources buffer the adverse effects of occupational demands on psychological health. The study highlights the value of strengthening emotional intelligence and workplace social support through profile-based intervention strategies to reduce burnout and promote nurses' well-being.]]>

<![CDATA[The decline in marriage rates and the growing prevalence of waithood among young adults reflect changing perceptions of marriage under increasing urban economic pressures. This study examined the relationships among financial stress, religiosity, and fear of marriage, with particular attention to the potential moderating role of religiosity. Using a cross-sectional quantitative design, data were collected through purposive sampling from 300 unmarried young adults aged 21–35 years residing in West Java and DKI Jakarta. The proposed model was tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM). The results showed that financial stress was positively associated with fear of marriage (β = .129, p = .021) and negatively associated with religiosity (β = −.146, p = .012). Religiosity was also negatively associated with fear of marriage (β = −.149, p = .003), indicating that individuals with higher religiosity tended to report lower levels of fear regarding marriage. However, religiosity did not significantly moderate the relationship between financial stress and fear of marriage (p = .389). These findings suggest that religiosity functions as an independent protective factor rather than as a buffer against the effects of financial stress. Premarital interventions should therefore integrate religious or values-based counselling with financial literacy and economic preparedness to strengthen young adults’ readiness for marriage.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examined the prevalence of probable post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depressive symptoms among Indonesian adults during a public health emergency and investigated whether sleep duration and home quarantine duration mediated the association between crisis-related exposure and psychological distress. A cross-sectional online survey was conducted with 500 Indonesian adults who had experienced health-related home quarantine. PTSD symptoms were measured using the PTSD Checklist–Civilian Version, and depressive symptoms were assessed using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9. Hierarchical regression and mediation analyses were performed. Results showed that 57.8% of participants met the screening cutoff for probable PTSD, while 54.4% met the cutoff for probable depressive symptoms. Distressing media exposure was associated with both outcomes. Sleep duration and home quarantine duration partially mediated the associations between crisis-related exposure and PTSD and depressive symptoms. These findings highlight the importance of media regulation, sleep promotion, and psychological support during future public health emergencies.]]>

<![CDATA[Schools play an important role in supporting students’ academic, social, and personal development. However, an instrument specifically designed to assess students’ perceptions of the broader educational and developmental functions mandated by Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 17 of 2010 remains unavailable. This study aimed to develop and conduct an initial psychometric evaluation of the Students’ Perceived School Functioning Scale for Indonesian senior high school students. The initial instrument consisted of 55 items developed based on the six functions specified in the regulation and refined through a focus group discussion with educational stakeholders. Data were collected from 431 students across 19 senior high schools in Jambi City. Exploratory factor analysis using principal axis factoring and Promax rotation, with factor retention guided by parallel analysis, supported a six-factor solution. Following item refinement, 38 items were retained. The overall scale demonstrated good internal consistency, although reliability varied across the extracted factors. The empirical composition of the factors did not clearly reproduce the six theoretically proposed domains, and the clustering of favorable and unfavorable items suggested a possible wording-related method effect. These findings provide preliminary psychometric evidence for the scale while indicating the need for further item refinement and validation using independent and more diverse samples.]]>

<![CDATA[Adolescent aggression is a behavioral problem associated with family factors and emotion regulation. This study examined gender differences in parenting style, interparental conflict, emotion regulation, and aggression, and analyzed the associations of maternal and paternal parenting, interparental conflict, and emotion regulation with adolescent aggression. A cross-sectional design was used with 223 tenth- and eleventh-grade students from one senior high school and one vocational high school in East Jakarta, selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample tests, and structural equation modeling. No significant gender differences emerged in parenting style, interparental conflict, or aggression, but females reported higher adaptive and maladaptive emotion regulation than males. Maternal rejection was directly associated with aggression, particularly among females, while paternal rejection was associated with adaptive emotion regulation. Interparental conflict was indirectly associated with aggression through maladaptive emotion regulation, and both emotion regulation types were associated with aggression. Given the cross-sectional design, findings should be interpreted as associative rather than causal.]]>
