ABSTRACT
Balancing academic and work responsibilities places university students in a situation that requires them to manage multiple aspects of life simultaneously. In this context, gratitude may represent a psychological factor associated with individuals’ ability to maintain their well-being. This study examined the relationship between gratitude and psychological well-being among university students who work while pursuing their studies. A quantitative correlational approach was employed, involving 160 students selected through purposive sampling based on the study criteria. Data were collected using gratitude and psychological well-being scales and analyzed through normality testing, linearity testing, and simple linear regression. The findings revealed a strong positive relationship between gratitude and psychological well-being (R = 0.712; p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.507) indicated that the model explained 50.7% of the variance in psychological well-being scores, while the remaining variance was not explained by the model. The positive regression coefficient (B = 1.150) indicated that higher gratitude scores were associated with higher psychological well-being scores. These findings position gratitude as one relevant factor in understanding the well-being of students who simultaneously fulfill academic and work responsibilities. Practically, the results may provide preliminary insights for higher education institutions in developing well-being promotion initiatives for working students while recognizing that other factors may also be associated with their psychological condition.
ABSTRAK
Menyeimbangkan tanggung jawab pendidikan dan pekerjaan menempatkan mahasiswa pada situasi yang menuntut pengelolaan berbagai aspek kehidupan secara bersamaan. Dalam konteks ini, kebersyukuran dapat menjadi salah satu aspek psikologis yang berkaitan dengan kemampuan individu mempertahankan kesejahteraan. Penelitian ini menelaah keterkaitan kedua variabel tersebut pada mahasiswa yang kuliah sambil bekerja melalui pendekatan kuantitatif korelasional. Sebanyak 160 mahasiswa dipilih menggunakan teknik purposive sampling sesuai kriteria penelitian. Data diperoleh melalui skala kebersyukuran dan kesejahteraan psikologis, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan uji normalitas, uji linearitas, dan regresi linear sederhana. Hasil pengujian memperlihatkan hubungan positif yang kuat antara kebersyukuran dan kesejahteraan psikologis (R = 0,712; p < 0,001). Nilai koefisien determinasi sebesar 0,507 menunjukkan bahwa model menjelaskan 50,7% variasi skor kesejahteraan psikologis, sedangkan sisanya tidak dijelaskan oleh model. Koefisien regresi positif (B = 1,150) mengindikasikan bahwa peningkatan skor kebersyukuran berkaitan dengan peningkatan skor kesejahteraan psikologis. Temuan ini menempatkan kebersyukuran sebagai salah satu aspek yang relevan dalam memahami kesejahteraan mahasiswa dengan tanggung jawab akademik dan pekerjaan sekaligus. Secara praktis, hasil penelitian dapat menjadi pertimbangan awal bagi perguruan tinggi dalam mengembangkan upaya promotif yang mendukung kesejahteraan mahasiswa bekerja, tanpa mengabaikan faktor lain yang turut berkaitan dengan kondisi psikologis mereka.
