Purpose — This research aims to examine and analyze the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI), internet users, interest rates, and inflation on economic growth in the five founding ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, and Thailand.Method — This research employs a quantitative approach using panel regression analysis to identify and measure the impact of macroeconomic variables and digital technology on economic growth in the five founding countries of ASEAN. The data, spanning the period from 2005 to 2022, is sourced from the World Bank and other relevant international databases.Result — The research results indicate that foreign direct investment (FDI), internet users, and interest rates significantly influence economic growth in ASEAN countries. Conversely, inflation has a negative but insignificant effect on economic growth in the region. These findings underscore the importance of FDI, digital technology adoption, and effective interest rate management in driving economic growth. The insignificant impact of inflation suggests that it may not play a major role in the economic growth dynamics of the ASEAN-5.Practical implications — The research has practical implications for ASEAN stakeholders. Governments can attract FDI and promote digital infrastructure to foster economic growth. Investors can target sectors that benefit from FDI and digital technology. Central banks can adjust interest rates to stimulate growth while managing inflation. Businesses can prioritize digital transformation for development. Collaboration among ASEAN states can further enhance regional growth. Aligning strategies with these findings can boost ASEAN's prosperity and competitiveness

Indonesian Mid-Career EFL Teachers’ Depersonalization and its Impact on Their Well-Being: A Narrative Inquiry

Well-being is an important aspect for EFL teachers that indicate their psychological and physical wellness state both in their professional and personal life. However, depersonalization that contextually happened in the workplace can negatively affect how they teach and work in the school, causing the feeling of indifference and threatening their well-being in return. On the other hand, depersonalization has been reported to be a contagion to other people, further exposing other colleagues to experiencing and feeling burned out. Questions emerged from this phenomenon, that is, how Indonesian mid-career EFL teachers’ depersonalization affects their motivation and how they employ the coping strategy to sustain motivational well-being. Using a narrative inquiry methodological approach, this study explores this phenomenon through a narrative frame with three Indonesian mid-career EFL teachers. Extensive thematic analysis showcased that Indonesian mid-career EFL teachers experienced depersonalization originating from poor colleague work ethics and inadequate leadership, causing their motivation well-being to plummet. However, the depersonalization was overshadowed by their respective sources of motivation to work as an EFL teacher. Strategies to mitigate such depersonalization were reported to be: (1) involving oneself in continuing professional development, (2) spiritual reflection, and (3) recreational rest. The study implies an indication that contextual factors such as organizational scholarship and interpersonal-collegial relationships are playing a critical role in shaping EFL teachers’ overall well-being
