ADAPTASI INSTRUMEN BOREOUT SCALE: VALIDITAS DAN RELIABILITAS DALAM KONTEKS INDONESIA

Abstract

The boreout phenomenon in the modern workplace is a crucial psychological issue characterized by chronic boredom and a crisis of meaning due to a lack of challenge. However, valid measurement instruments in the Indonesian cultural context are still very limited. This study aims to adapt the Boreout Scale to the Indonesian cultural context while maintaining its psychometric properties. The adaptation process was carried out systematically through multiple translation, synthesis, expert validation, readability testing, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) involving 105 respondents. The study findings indicate that two main dimensions, crisis of meaning and job boredom, meet adequate validity and reliability criteria with a total Cronbach's alpha value of 0.838. However, the crisis of growth dimension was eliminated due to the instability of its factor structure, possibly influenced by differences in collectivist cultural values ??in Indonesia. The study's conclusions confirm that this adapted instrument, consisting of seven valid items, is suitable for measuring boreout in the local context and also provides an important contribution to the development of more culturally sensitive work psychology assessments in Indonesia.

ABSTRAK

Fenomena boreout di tempat kerja modern merupakan isu psikologis krusial yang ditandai dengan kebosanan kronis dan krisis makna akibat kurangnya tantangan, namun ketersediaan instrumen pengukuran yang valid dalam konteks budaya Indonesia masih sangat terbatas. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengadaptasi Boreout Scale ke dalam konteks budaya Indonesia dengan mempertahankan properti psikometriknya. Proses adaptasi dilakukan secara sistematis melalui tahapan translasi ganda, sintesis, validasi ahli, uji keterbacaan, serta analisis faktor eksploratori (EFA) dan konfirmatori (CFA) yang melibatkan 105 responden. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa dua dimensi utama, yaitu crisis of meaning dan job boredom, memenuhi kriteria validitas dan reliabilitas yang memadai dengan nilai Cronbach’s alpha total sebesar 0,838. Namun, dimensi crisis of growth terpaksa dieliminasi karena ketidakstabilan struktur faktor yang kemungkinan dipengaruhi oleh perbedaan nilai budaya kolektivistik di Indonesia. Simpulan penelitian menegaskan bahwa instrumen adaptasi yang terdiri dari tujuh item valid ini layak digunakan untuk mengukur boreout dalam konteks lokal, sekaligus memberikan kontribusi penting bagi pengembangan asesmen psikologi kerja yang lebih sensitif budaya di Indonesia.
