Employee silence, the withholding of work-related ideas, questions, or concerns from someone who could effect change, has been proposed to hamper individual and collective learning as well as the detection of errors and unethical behaviors in many areas of the world. To facilitate cross-cultural research, we validated an instrument measuring four employee silence motives (i.e., silence based on fear, resignation, prosocial, and selfish motives) in 21 languages. Across 33 countries (N = 8,222) representing diverse cultural clusters, the instrument shows good psychometric properties (i.e., internal reliabilities, factor structure, and measurement invariance). Results further revealed similarities and differences in the prevalence of silence motives between countries, but did not necessarily support cultural stereotypes. To explore the role of culture for silence, we examined relationships of silence motives with the societal practices cultural dimensions from the GLOBE Program. We found relationships between silence motives and power distance, institutional collectivism, and KNOLL ET AL.

Teachers who have self-efficacy regarding their abilities play an important part in the educational process. The instrument “Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES)”, which consists of 24 items, measures the self-efficacy of a teacher in conducting his or her role in the classroom. This research was aimed at testing the psychometric properties of the Indonesian language version of the TSES, using Rasch testing. 245 State Primary School teachers in the Special Capital District (Daerah Khusus Ibukota - DKI) of Jakarta, Indonesia, took part in the study. Analysis results indicated that the reliability index and the separation of item and person scales of the TSES fulfil the criteria well. In the study of the structure of the organisation of the instrument, tests of the unidimensional quality and accuracy of the items/models showed they fulfil the conditions for measurement by Rasch modelling. In the rating scale, data analysis indicated the necessity of simplification of the range of response choices, and also of the variation in the difficulty of the items, which is not very uniform, so that a large proportion of respondents were not easily measurable, via this instrument. The results of the research indicated two items which showed bias, when dealt with by different groups of respondents. Based upon the information resulting from this testing, this script discusses recommendations for the modification of the Indonesian language version of the TSES instrument, with the aim of producing an instrument having good psychometric qualities, to measure the self-efficacy of teachers.   Guru yang mempunyai efikasi diri akan kemampuannya merupakan bagian penting dalam proses pendidikan. Instrumen Teachers’ Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES), yang berisi 24 butir, mengukur efikasi diri seorang guru dalam menjalankan perannya di kelas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menguji properti psikometrik TSES versi Bahasa Indonesia dengan menggunakan pemodelan Rasch. Sebanyak 245 orang guru SD Negeri di DKI Jakarta berpartisipasi dalam studi ini. Hasil analisis menunjukkan indeks reliabilitas serta separasi item dan person skala TSES memenuhi kriteria yang baik. Dalam kajian struktur penyusun instrumen, uji unidimensionalitas dan ketepatan butir-model memenuhi syarat dalam pengukuran pemodelan Rasch. Dalam hal skala peringkat (rating scale), analisis data menunjukkan perlunya penyederhanaan rentang pilihan jawaban; juga variasi tingkat kesulitan butir yang tidak terlalu beragam sehingga sebagian besar responden tidak dapat terukur dengan baik melalui instrumen ini. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukan dua butir yang memiliki bias ketika di kerjakan oleh kelompok responden yang berbeda. Berdasarkan informasi hasil pengujian tersebut, tulisan ini membahas usulan modifikasi instrumen TSES versi Bahasa Indonesia dengan tujuan menghasilkan instrumen efikasi diri guru yang memiliki properti psikometrik yang baik.

Abstract The study was conducted to determine the effect of personality trait on marital adjustment in early adulthood. The personality trait based on The Big Five Factors of Personality theory by McCrae dan Costa. This study used a quantitative research method with a ex post facto design. The sample used in this study is 100 persons. The sampling technique used accidental sampling method. This study used two instruments were adopted from International Personality Item Pool Representation of The NEO PI-R (IPIPNEO) for personality scale and Dyadic Adjustment Scale (DAS) for marital adjustment scale. Data analysis used regression analysis of 5 predictors technique. Based on the calculations, the value of F = 3.810 with a significance of 0.003 (p <0.05), suggested that there is a significant influence personality trait to marital adjustment in early adulthood. The influence of personality trait to marital adjustment in early adulthood that is obtained by Adjusted R Square is 0.124 which means personality trait affect marital adjustment in early adulthood individual by 12.4%, while the remaining percentage showed that there are other factors that influence marital adjustment on early adulthood beside personality trait. The study result suggested that only neuroticism domain has negative significant influence on marital adjustment with a -1.295 regression coefficient and 0.021 significance (p <0.05).

University students have to learn independently. They must have skills of how to learn: thinking ability, thinking process, and learning motivation. Those abilities in cognitive psychology are known as self-regulated learning. This research involve 128 students of Education Faculty of Jakarta State University to know about description of self-regulated learning, difference of self-regulated learning between study programs, and correlation of self-regulated learning withacademic achievement.

Dunia kerja merupakan sebuah wadah yang menampung sumber daya manusia yang memiliki kemampuan, dalam hal ini pendidikan dan keterampilan.Salah satu masalah nasional yang dihadapi oleh bangsa Indonesia saat ini adalah penanganan terhadap rendahnya kualitas sumber daya manusia. Jumlah sumber daya manusia yang besar apabila digunakan secara efektif dan efisien, hal ini akan bermanfaat untuk menunjang kemajuan pembangunan nasional yang berkelanjutan. Melimpahnya sumber daya manusia yang ada saat ini mengharuskan untuk berpikir bagaimana dapat memanfaatkannya secara optimal. Agar di dalam masyarakat memiliki sumber daya manusia yang handal, maka diperlukan pendidikan yang berkualitas, penyediaan berbagai fasilitas sosial, dan lapangan pekerjaan yang memadai. Saat ini kemampuan sumber daya manusia masih rendah baik dilihat dari kemampuan intelektualnya maupun keterampilan teknis yang dimilikinya (Koesmono, 2005).
