Growth-focused resilience: development and validation of a new scale

PurposeThis study argues that existing constructs of psychological resilience of employees focus too narrowly on recovery from adverse events. Therefore, this paper aims to present an alternative construct in which resilience reflects an intention to grow as a person when facing both opportunities and difficulties. Initial evidence for a measure of growth-based resilience is presented.Design/methodology/approachIn Study 1, a six-step scale development procedure was used. Items were generated deductively, and an exploratory factor analysis on data from a sample of 167 Indonesian managers was used to refine the scale structure. Study 2 validated the Study 1 results using a two-step confirmatory factor analysis, including structural equation modelling, involving a second sample of 241 Indonesian managers.FindingsStudy 1 suggested a scale using 16 items reflecting two dimensions, Developmental Persistency, involving perseverance and commitment to growth, and Positive Emotion. Study 2 generally confirmed the structure of this measure and produced expected correlations with other theoretically related constructs. Overall, the findings support the reconceptualisation of resilience as a response to life challenges and opportunities focussed on growing as a person.Research limitations/implicationsFurther testing of the validity of this construct is recommended, and its nomological network should be examined to clarify its relationship to related concepts such as hardiness, coping, thriving and similar qualities.Practical implicationsThe growth-based perspective allows organisations to better assess and improve employee resilience as it more accurately reflects the nature of resilience as a fundamental “positive” dimension of human personality, where existing approaches focus merely on recovering from workplace adversities. An implication is that employee development efforts focussed more on personal development than specific work skills, or at least contextualising the latter in the person’s life context, will be more successful.Originality/valueA more holistic view of resilience as the capacity for responding to life’s challenges and opportunities through personal growth resolves a number of issues created by existing recovery-based constructs.

Valuating Indonesian Upstream Oil Management Scenario through System Dynamics Modelling

Under the existing regulation in Constitution Number 22 Year 2001 (UU No 22 Tahun 2001), Production Sharing Contract (PSC) continues to be the scenario in conducting oil and gas upstream mining activities as the previous regulation (UU No. 8 Tahun 1971). Because of the high costs and risks in upstream mining activities, the contractors are dominated by foreign companies, meanwhile National Oil Company (NOC) doesn’t act much. The domination of foreign contractor companies also warned Indonesia in several issues addressing to energy independence and energy security. Therefore, to achieve the goals of energy which is independence and security, there need to be a revision in upstream oil activities regulating scenario. The scenarios will be comparing the current scenario, which is PSC, with the “full concession” scenario for National Oil Company (NOC) in managing oil upstream mining activities. Both scenario will be modelled using System Dynamics methodology and assessed furthermore using financial valuation method of income approach. Under the 2 scenarios, the author will compare which scenario is better for upstream oil management in reaching the goals mentioned before and more profitable in financial aspect. From the simulation, it is gathered that concession scenario offers better option than PSC in reaching energy independence and energy security.

Indonesia Politics in Eradicating Inequalities in The Border Area

Inequalities is inherent characteristic in dealing with border development. As a large archipelagic country, Indonesia still has so many homeworks in managing border areas. For years border areas have been marginalized from national development process. The inequalities could be seen in several aspects, such as a low level of public services availability; low quality and access of education; bad economic condition and high level of poverty. The scope of this paper is to explore some changes in Indonesian border management and development under Joko Widodo's administration, especially the efforts to eradicate inequalities. The method used in the research is qualitative approach through literature review and interviews. The result of this paper shows that Indonesian government under Joko Widodo's presidency has done some important policies to bring the social justice in border areas. However, they still have to encounter very substantial challenges and obstacles such as the problems of institutional and human resource capacity. Joko Widodo shows a very strong commitment to build border areas as good as other areas in Indonesia.

Enhancing national emergency management system for nuclear emergency preparedness and response in the light of the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant

A study has been carried out to enhance Indonesian emergency management system for nuclear emergency preparedness and response. The study is very important considering that Indonesia is a nuclear embarking country. The descriptive-analytic method is used to evaluate the current regulatory infrastructure against relevant international standards and conventions. Then, the results of international peer reviews to the system performed in 2015 and 2016 are also discussed. Finally, lessons learned from the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear accident are analysed as well. The study concluded that Indonesia has its commitment to developing the national emergency preparedness and response system. Furthermore, there are some areas for improvements. Among others, Indonesia needs to harmonized its Laws and fully adapt relevant international standards and conventions. The system should be the priority to be established using an integrated all-hazard approach, which requires leadership and coordination role of the national agency for disaster management. In the light of the Fukushima accident, it was identified that the system should also reflect severe accident scenario, which requires: A wide range of documentation that is to be developed, coordinated and harmonized; a comprehensive justified well-informed decision-making system; competency building scheme; and that all of these have to continually be reviewed and improved.

Measuring social capital in Indonesian community forest management

ABSTRACTSocial capital provides an overview of a community's togetherness, unity, and mutual trust in achieving common goals towards sustainable development. Community forest management requires a certain level of social capital for sustainable forest management. This study aims to identify and analyze key factors influencing the community's social capital in forest management. The key factors influencing the level of social capital in a community include internal factors such as individual characteristics and knowledge of community forest management, and external factors such as extension activities, the role of the forest farmer group, and access to information. Using the theoretical framework of social capital and multiple linear regression models, we found that social capital was significantly influenced by both internal and external factors, indicating a need to improve these factors. To increase the value of social capital for maintaining the sustainability of community forest management, the results of this Indonesian case suggest that individual characteristics, procedural knowledge of community forest management, and the role of forest farmer groups need to be considered for forest management based on the social capital of forest communities.

National and Organizational Culture, Performance Evaluation and Trust: Evidence from Multinational Company Subsidiary in Indonesia

The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of national and organizational culture on the relationship between accounting and trust in a subsidiary of a Western Multi-National Company (MNC) in Indonesia. This study use a qualitative field study of one French MNC subsidiary and interview four expatriate directors, nine Indonesian managers and 10 Indonesian employees. Key themes were identified with the assistance of NVivo software. In this study, accounting, through formal performance evaluation, contributes to trust building between supervisors and their subordinates. Formal performance evaluation through transparent and objective evaluation increases trust in the supervisor. On the other hand, informal performance evaluation tends to decrease trustful behaviour due to secrecy in the evaluation process. It appears that Indonesian national culture does influence organizational culture preference in the local staff. Individuals share national culture as a result of values developed from family, religion, education, and experience.DOI: 10.15408/sjie.v6i2.4733

Creating a sediment budget in a data poor context: an example from eastern indonesia

Sediment budgets are useful in informing catchment management, however the resources and data required to create a sediment budget may be prohibitive, particularly in developing countries. This paper presents a multidisciplinary approach to an investigation of sediment sources and the creation of a first‐order sediment budget for a catchment in eastern ndonesia: a data‐poor region in the wet‐dry tropics with high sediment production rates and a population largely dependent on subsistence agriculture. The approach integrates results from geospatial analysis and key informant interviews and radionuclide tracers. Free software and imagery were used to demonstrate that geospatial analysis can be achieved without high costs. Surface soil erosion rates were mapped using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation, and subsoil sediment sources were digitised from high‐resolution imagery. Key informant interviews identified additional gully erosion, not detected through spatial analysis. Radionuclide tracers 137s, 210b(ex) and 239u were used to determine the relative contributions of surface soil to sediment. The main sediment sources in the Kambaniru catchment were surface soils (31%), channel change (22%), gully erosion (8%), and landslides (1%), with an estimated annual sediment load of 1 440 000 t yr−1 at the weir. This sediment budget showed subsoils were a major source of sediment, which contradicts assumptions that underpin Indonesian catchment management policies. The geospatial, interview and field methods were effective in identifying, mapping and quantifying subsoil sediment sources, and can readily be applied in areas where data are scarce and technical skills are low. Radionuclide tracers provide essential information but are expensive.

Indonesian leadership styles: A mixed‐methods approach

Indonesian leadership characteristics were examined in three studies, using mixed methods. In the first, qualitative study 127 indigenous characteristics of Indonesian leadership were identified from interviews and focus group discussions with Indonesian managers and staff. In the second study, a questionnaire based on the characteristics found in the first study was administered to Indonesian managers to identify Indonesian leadership styles. Using factor analysis, two highly correlated dimensions were extracted, labelled benevolent paternalism and transformational leadership. In the third study, a questionnaire consisting of leadership characteristics from the GLOBE study, supplemented with a selection of 49 items from the Indonesian questionnaire, was administered to another sample of Indonesian managers. We found that Indonesian leadership has two components; the first involves a more local modernization dimension that ranges from (traditional) benevolent paternalism to (modern) transformational leadership, the second is a more universal person‐ versus team‐oriented leadership dimension. We conclude that Indonesian leadership has both emic and etic aspects.

Bahasa, Batik, and Bargaining: An Exploratory Study of the Negotiation Styles and Behaviors of Indonesian Managers

This study investigates the effects and impacts of national cultural influences upon the processes involved in international business negotiations, with particular reference to Indonesia. The importance of Indonesia as a major economy in the South East Asian region, has led to growth in international trade. This growth has increased the need for global interaction and communication and a lack of cultural understanding raises the prospect of cultural conflict, between Indonesian managers and international managers within international business negotiations. Using the findings of the GLOBE, and Hofstede studies on national culture, the case is made that the cultural orientation identified in these studies demonstrates how Indonesian managers will be expected to behave in international business negotiations. Through understanding and awareness of these Indonesian negotiation behaviors and styles, international managers can reduce the incidence of ambiguity and conflict, thus increasing the potential likelihood of negotiation success in Indonesia.

Menggagas Efektivitas Manajemen Khas Indonesia dalam Konteks Globalisasi

Globalization performs as a new form of imperialism. Every single entities, such as bussiness, military, govenment, and education, are challanged. in order to maintain their effectiveness, they have to be adjusted based on the trend of globalization. in bussinees, as the main topic of this essay, will suffer multiple pressure, first, global market consequences, second, local politics and culture and third, internal condition of enterprises. Therefore, in responding such pressure, "blance solution" is absolutely needed, in magerial skills, this solution is made through creating combination between culktural skill and managerial skill. Here, the discussion on "Indonesian Management Model" is absolutely relevant.

The Effect of Culture on Management Style

Abstract U.S. and Indonesian managers were surveyed to evaluate cross-cultural differences in managerial style. Four variables were compared and analyzed: autocratic and participative management, and individualism and collectivism. Indonesian managers endorsed a more autocratic style than U.S. managers and valued collectivism more than U.S. managers, while U.S. managers valued individualism more than the Indonesian managers. Additionally, a positive relationship was found between participative management style and individualism. There were no significant differences in the value both groups placed on participative management; both endorsed this concept positively. Results suggest that while there are differences between the preferred management styles of Indonesian and U.S. managers, both groups endorse similar management ideas. This paper concludes that culture affects the ideologies that managers are willing to endorse, and further study is needed to see if it similarly affects the management styles the...

Human resource management as competitive advantage in the new millennium

One strand of conventional wisdom is the urgent need for human resource management in Indonesia to improve to world standards so that the Indonesian corporate sector can survive in a globalized economy. Another strand accepts the need to improve to international standards but argues that such improvements should be based on Indonesian conditions. Indonesian management is traditional, patrimonial and hierarchically oriented, and international practices like empowerment, participation and incentive orientation are irrelevant or, at best, need to be adjusted to and are secondary to Indonesian indigenous characteristics. There is a dearth of empirical research in Indonesia that could support either strand. This article presents three mini‐cases to argue that human resource management in Indonesia is a complex process with both national and international influences. The cases suggest national conditions need not hinder the adoption of international best HRM practices focusing on participation, empowerment and incentives leading to competitive behavior.

A Study of the Attitudes of Indonesian Managers Toward Key Factors in Information System Development and Implementation

The purpose of this paper is to assess the behavioral attitudes of Indonesian information system managers and top level managers towards the organizational aspects of information system development and implementation. Important key factors under investigation include participation, training, top management support, feedback communication channels, and early conveying of information about the change. The study results show that both Indonesian information system managers and top managers have positive attitudes toward all key factors under study except consensus participation. Top management support is considered by all groups of managers to be the most important key factor for the successful development of computerized information systems. Training programs are ranked in the middle in order of importance. Pre-implementation training is consistently ranked higher than on-the-job training by both groups of managers. Feedback communication channels, while obtaining next to the highest mean attitude score, is ranked as the least important factor.

Cultural Effects of Budgetary Participation: Indonesian Evidence

Research into the impact of the interaction between budgetary participation and budget emphasis on managerial performance and job related attitudes has failed to provide consistent results. Researchers are in general agreement that aspects of national culture, affecting the behaviour and attitudes of individuals within organisations, have to be taken into account. Motivated by the encouraging findings of Harrison's (1992) study in Singapore, this study is a partial replication of Harrison (1992, 1993) in the context of Indonesia. It explores further whether a high budget emphasis is an effective superior evaluative style in nations categorised as high power‐distance (PD) and low individualism. Specifically it examines the effect of participation on the budget emphasis in a superior's evaluative style and dependent variables: job satisfaction and managerial performance. In addition to the structured instruments used in prior research, open ended questions captured attitudes to management control issues. The results indicate that in Indonesia a low budget emphasis improves managerial performance, while high participation increases Indonesian managers' job satisfaction. This result does not wholly support previous research findings and leads to discussion of Indonesian national characteristics which potentially contribute to the impact of a superior's evaluative style in Indonesia. This research suggests that the same performance evaluative style is unequally effective across the nations common to Hofstede's cultural dimensions.

Managerial values in Indonesia

A pressing concern for some time among the Indonesian management community has been how to develop a management style appropriate to Indonesia's situation. The research described in this paper aims to explore this question by focusing attention on the values of Indonesian managers. It does so by employing a modified version of the Personal Values Questionnaire (PVQ) developed by England (1974) and a thematic analytical approach to folklore developed by Danandjaja (1982). The study is based on a sample of 979 Indonesian managers.
