Abstract

Consumptive behavior in adolescents is an increasing phenomenon and is becoming a concern in society. This study aims to analyze the determinants of consumptive behavior in adolescents and their impact on their psychological well-being. The determinants analyzed include internal factors such as motivation, personality, self-concept, learning process, and lifestyle, as well as external factors such as culture, social class, reference groups, and family. The impact of consumptive behavior on the psychological well-being of adolescents was the main focus of this study. Consumptive behavior can cause various problems in adolescent life, such as reducing saving opportunities, difficulty distinguishing between wants and needs, and not having an emergency fund. In addition, consumptive behavior also has an impact on self-esteem and psychological well-being of adolescents. The research method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, literature studies, and observation. The results of this study are expected to provide a better understanding of the factors that influence consumptive behavior in adolescents and their impact on their psychological well-being. Furthermore, these findings could form the basis for the development of interventions and educational programs that are effective in reducing consumptive behavior and improving adolescent psychological well-being.

Abstract

Employee dismissals have become an increasingly complex issue in the era of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to explore the effect of changes in the work environment and layoff policies by companies on employee dismissals during the pandemic. This study used a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews as a data collection technique. The results showed that changes in the work environment and layoff policies by companies had a significant impact on the decision to dismiss employees. Companies tend to choose to lay off employees who are considered less productive and difficult to adapt to changes in the work environment. However, the layoff policy taken by the company also has the potential to cause problems related to employee rights and can worsen the economic situation of people affected by the pandemic. Therefore, strong legal protection is needed for employees and coordination between companies, governments, and related institutions in taking layoff policies during the pandemic.
