Research in work performance involving employees from different types of jobs is needed.Therefore, there is a necessity of generic instrument in work performance. However, most instruments measuring individual work performance are only developed for specific purposes in particular jobs. Thus it is not appropriate to utilize in a research involving workers from different types of jobs. One of generic instruments measuring work performance is Individual work performance questionnaire (IWPQ). The purpose of this research is to do the adaptation process of IWPQ into Indonesian. The procedure in the adaptation process consists of forward translation, synthesis, back translation, back translation review, and cognitive debriefing. Content validity test using Aiken's V shows that all IWPQ items have high Aiken's V. The field test involving 231 employees shows that IWPQ has a good discriminant indexes, ranging from .447 to .734. The Indonesian version of IWPQ also has a good reliability, in task performance (TP) .871; contextual performance (CP) .858; and counterproductive work behavior (CWB) .814.
Public compliance with social distancing policy is necessary to slow down the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19). One of the factors that contribute to compliance with social distancing policy is awareness of COVID‐19. This study aimed to examine the relationship between awareness of COVID‐19 and compliance with social distancing policy. The study used an online survey through Google Form to 404 respondents aged 18–63 years. The data were collected by using awareness on the COVID‐19 scale and compliance with the social distancing scale. The data were analyzed using the Spearman correlation and Kruskal–Wallis, followed by Mann–Whitney U with Bonferroni correction. The awareness of COVID‐19 was significantly and positively associated with compliance with social distancing order. Based on demographic variables found that the awareness was significantly higher in postgraduates. The awareness of COVID‐19 was also significantly higher in working participants. The compliance with social distancing order was found higher in women. The study's primary result is that the awareness of COVID‐19 positively correlates with public compliance on social distancing order. In particular, there is a need to provide means and interventions to raise public awareness of this challenging situation.
The psychological problem that can arise due to uncertain conditions to the spread of COVID-19 is anxiety. One of the essential behaviors that contribute to the prevention of the spread of COVID-19 is awareness related to COVID-19 and the behavior of community adherence to the appeal of Social Distancing. The research objective was to determine whether awareness of COVID-19 is associated with anxiety and community compliance with social distancing rules. Besides, to understand differences in awareness of COVID-19, anxiety, and community compliance with social distancing rules. Based on an online survey through Google Form was conducted on 404 respondents aged 18 to 63 years. Data were collected using three instruments, the COVID-19 awareness scale, the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) anxiety subscale, and the compliance scale for social distancing. Data were analyzed using Spearman correlation and Kruskal Wallis, followed by Mann-Whitney U with Bonferroni correction. The main results of the research found that awareness of COVID-19 plays a vital role in realizing community compliance with social distancing rules. The group that needs more attention is related to awareness of lower COVID-19 and more at risk of experiencing anxiety, namely the younger age group, less educated, and not working. The government need to pay more attention to at-risk groups and provide an official information channel for raising awareness of COVID-19, clear prevention policies, and health protocols to prevent the spread of COVID-19 especially with the discourse for new normal people are asked to move back in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic.
A parental divorce is a stressful event for children. Several studies show that children from broken-home family have complex problems. However, some children from broken-home family are found to be able to have a good achievement and able to grow to be positive. They are able to build resilience in facing their family problems. The purpose of study was to understand how a child from broken homes achieves resilience. A phenomenology study was used in this study. Interviews and observations were used to collect data.The subject was a 25-year-old female. The resilience framework which focuses on socio-ecological context was used to understand how the subject achieved the resilience. The parents of the subject divorced when the subject was four years old, then subject's mother remarried three times. The subject had stressors related to open conflict between her mother and father, traumatic experience through witnessing physical abuse of step father, lack of openness in communication with mother, and unsupportive friends. In this case, the resilience process began when the subject was already young adult. The subject's understanding could help her in accepting and coping the problem actively. It is supported by subject's internal characteristics including religiosity, cognitive, and social competencies which developed as the subject grown up. The openness in communication which get reciprocity from the significant other around the subject has a role in achieving resilience. Therefore, the lesson learned from this research are resilience can be achieved if the individual who exposured the stressors coped the problem actively. It is supported by both of internal and external resilience factors which include of: (1) acceptance, (2) religiosity, (3) cognitive ability, (4) social competencies, and (5) social support. In this case, mature age seemed to be an important factor in achieving resilience since it reflect maturity in those factors cited previously.
