FAKTOR-FAKTOR ANTESEDEN KESEJAHTERAAN PSIKOLOGIS PARA GURU DI SEKOLAH “X”

Guru merupakan figur teladan yang utama dalam proses pembelajaran di sekolah. Guru yang memiliki kesehatan atau kesejahtearaan psikologis akan menjadi model yang benar bagi kesehatan mental para anak didik mereka. Kesejahteraan psikologis merupakan kondisi individu yang sehat, bahagia, dan puas pada kualitas kehidupannya. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui faktor-faktor anteseden yang mendukung kesejahteraan psikologis para guru. Metode penelitian ini adalah penelitian korelasional. Teknik pengumpulan data berupa instrumen skala penilaian. Instrumen yang digunakan untuk mengukur variabel kesejahteraan psikologis, kepercayaan diri, dan kecerdasan emosional. Teknik analisis data adalah analisis regresi ganda. Subjek penelitian sebanyak 95 guru jenjang TK, SD, SMP, dan SMA sekolah “X” yang berlokasi di Jakarta Pusat. Hasil analisis deskrptif menunjukkan bahwa hampir seluruh guru (>90%) memiliki kesejahteraan psikologis, kepercayaan diri, dan kecerdasan emosional berada pada kategori yang tinggi dan sangat tinggi. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa kecerdasan emosional dan kepercayaan diri merupakan faktor anteseden yang mendukung kesejahteraan psikologis para guru. Kecerdasan emosional memberikan nilai sumbangan yang lebih besar terhadap kesejahteraan psikologis daripada faktor kepercayaan diri. Pimpinan sekolah perlu memberikan pembinaan dan pelatihan kepada para guru secara terprogram dan berkelanjutan, khususnya dalam mengelola kematangan dalam kemampuan emosional

Item development and psychometric testing of Work Stress Scale

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic demanded employees work from home (Ishak & Mangundjaya, 2020). The work-from-home regulation provides several advantages, including high work flexibility. However, this regulation also creates excessive workloads and requires employees to work overtime due to various challenges from superiors with short deadlines. This situation encouraged researchers to develop an accurate psychological scale to identify the employees/ working stress. The scale comprised physical and mental individual responses to managing their uncomfortable work environment. It consists of 48 items measuring four dimensions: role overload, role conflict, role ambiguity, and role responsibility. The participants responded to the items by sending their responses on a 6-point scale, whether s/he felt the sentences described their psychological state from absolutely appropriate (score 1) to absolutely inappropriate (score 6). We recruited 91 employees aged 21 to 36 years old. In the content validity test, three experts judged whether the items were relevant, simple, clear, and unambiguous. The S-CVI was in the range of 0.89 to 0.92, with an S-CVI average of 0.90. Corrected item-total correlation revealed that all items were valid with a coefficient range from 0.40 to 0.79. Cronbach\u27s Alpha was 0.97. We concluded that the instrument was valid and reliable. We also simulated the norm to interpret the participant\u27s obtained scores. We created a standardized interpretation of the scores by applying percentile 25 and 75 to have three categories: low, medium, and high.https://research.acer.edu.au/ical/1002/thumbnail.jp

Faktor-faktor pendukung kualitas kehidupan kerja

The end objective of every organization is organization effectiveness, but without attention to the quality of work life improving a maximum output can not be achieved. The quality of work life should be improved in organizations in Indonesia because the philosophy of this movement focused on humanization, i.e. viewing the employees as integrated human beings by involving their all self-potential. During the recent political and economic crisis in Indonesia, it is important to find out what the quality of work life is. This research explored the antecedent factors to the quality of work life, which w as arranged in a s tructural equation model with the characteristic of working organizations in Indonesia, particularly in J akarta. Based on the theoretical background and previous research, 2 2 hypotheses were constructed. To test these hypotheses, data w as collected from 296 employees with S- 1 educational background. Research variables consisted of 6 latent variables and 17 observed variables, i.e. work reward (extrinsic and intrinsic reward); organizational commitment (affective, continuance, and normative commitment); career commitment (career orientation, job, and professional commitment); working condition (physical, temporal, and psychological condition); perception of leadership behavior (transformational and transactional behavior); and quality of work life (security, equity, individuation, and democracy). The research method was survey and complemented by interview. The research instruments were summated rating scale and attitude scale. The technique of data analysis was the structural equation method using LISREL (Linear Structural Relationship) program, t-test, and one-way analysis of variance. 1 The result of this research indicated that the intrinsic factor that played an important role in the quality of work life w as t he career commitment. The extrinsic factor that supported w as work reward. Work condition and perception about leadership behavior did not have effect on the quality of work life. The quality of work life w a s not different based on gender and different based on tenure

The Coronavirus Anxiety Scale: Cross-National Measurement Invariance and Convergent Validity Evidence

Coronavirus Anxiety Scale (CAS) is a widely used measure that captures somatic symptoms of coronavirus-related anxiety. In a large-scale collaboration spanning 60 countries (Ntotal = 21,513), we examined the CAS’s measurement invariance and assessed the convergent validity of CAS scores in relation to the fear of COVID-19 (FCV-19S) and the satisfaction with life (SWLS-3) scales. We utilized both conventional exact invariance tests and alignment procedures, with results revealing that the single-factor model fit the data well in almost all countries. Partial scalar invariance was supported in a subset of 56 countries. To ensure the robustness of results, given the unbalanced samples, we employed resampling techniques both with and without replacement and found the results were more stable in larger samples. The alignment procedure demonstrated a high degree of measurement invariance with 9% of the parameters exhibiting noninvariance. We also conducted simulations of alignment using the parameters estimated in the current model. Findings demonstrated reliability of the means but indicated challenges in estimating the latent variances. Strong positive correlations between CAS and FCV-19S estimated with all three different approaches were found in most countries. Correlations of CAS and SWLS-3 were weak and negative, but significantly differed from zero in several countries. Overall, the study provided support for the measurement invariance of the CAS and offered evidence of its convergent validity while also highlighting issues with variance estimation

Trust in government moderates the association between fear of COVID-19 as well as empathic concern and preventive behaviour

With the COVID-19 pandemic, behavioural scientists aimed to illuminate reasons why people comply with (or not) large-scale cooperative activities. Here we investigated the motives that underlie support for COVID-19 preventive behaviours in a sample of 12,758 individuals from 34 countries. We hypothesized that the associations of empathic prosocial concern and fear of disease with support towards preventive COVID-19 behaviours would be moderated by trust in the government. Results suggest that the association between fear of disease and support for COVID-19 preventive behaviours was strongest when trust in the government was weak (both at individual- and country-level). Conversely, the association with empathic prosocial concern was strongest when trust in the government was high, but this moderation was only found at individual-level scores of governmental trust. We discuss how motivations may be shaped by socio-cultural context, and outline how findings may contribute to a better understanding of collective action during global crises
