    Existing literature on interpersonal trust in work relationships has largely focused on trust as an independent variable. This study examined trust as a dependent variable by investigating its dimensions and predictors. Four dimensions of trust were hypothesized: open communication, informal agreement, task reliance, and surveillance. A survey measure of willingness to trust was developed. Confirmatory factor analysis using data from 305 management representatives and 293 labor representatives showed the convergent and discriminant validity of the measure. Fishbein and Ajzen\u27s theory of reasoned action served as the theoretical basis for a model of the predictors of trust. Regression analyses found that the past trustworthiness of the focal person and the attitude toward trusting the focal person were the most important predictors. Implications for research and practice are discussed

    Improving reproductive health for adolescents is one of the efforts to improve the quality of human life which will increase the human resource index in the future. This study aims to determine the effect of information exposure on adolescent reproductive health behavior. This study used a quantitative research method with a cross sectional approach to female students at the Darul Ihsan Islamic Boarding School, East Sinjai District, Sinjai Regency with a total of 68 respondents. The results showed that the information exposure variable had a relationship with attitude (p=0.006) then what was not related was the knowledge level variable (p=0.121) and the action variable (p=0.091). The results of the multivariate analysis showed that information exposure had an influence on attitudes with a 5.857 chance of reproductive health behavior for young female students at Islamic boarding schools. This study provides information to young female students to be tabayun to all health information obtained and to increase their knowledge regarding reproductive health. Good health information in terms of maintaining cleanliness will be a very important asset during adolescence

    National security: A propositional study to develop resilience indicators as an aid to personnel vetting

    Get PDF
    Within the National Security domain there is a convergence of security responsibility across the national security agencies, law enforcement and private security sectors. The sensitivity of this environment requires individuals operating in the domain to be honest, trustworthy and loyal. Personnel vetting is a formal process used to determine an individual’s suitability for access to this domain. Notwithstanding this process, significant breaches of trust, security, and corruption still occur. In psychology, resilience is a well researched phenomenon that is considered a multidimensional construct where individual attributes, family aspects and social environment interact in aiding individuals to deal with vulnerability. There are many understandings and definitions of resilience based on theorists’ different perspectives; however, most agree that resilience is represented by a minimum of two aspects. The first is adversity and second, how the individual deals with adversity that demonstrates situational adaptation in a positive manner. The study is a work in progress and proposes the use of a recently developed Lifespan Resilience Scale. This scale will use resilience markers as an aid to National Security by providing vetting agencies with an additional tool for proactive intervention. The Lifespan Resilience Scale is currently undergoing reliability and validity testing within a student population. Once validated within this population, the scale will be adjusted and tested within the vetting environment using cross validated cohorts and expert opinion. Such a tool will assist National Security through better personnel risk management
