UNAIR NEWS The competitive nature of business demands competent human resources who uphold the company檚 values. One of the instruments to measure those is the work value, which becomes one of the major keys in recruitment. It ensures that the prospective employees are not only technically qualified but also uphold cultural values that align with the company檚 vision and mission.
Responding to the issue, Mujahidah Syakhsiyyatul Karimah, Keisya Nafa檃 Maharani, and Ainizah Himmahwari Fattaqi developed the 楰enika檚 Work Value project, a measuring instrument for assessing employees work values. They created the tools during their internship at the Faculty of Psychology檚 Digital Psych Bootcamp (ADPB).
ADPB is a digital psychopreneurship program that connects students to collaborate with reputable partners. To UNAIR NEWS, Karimah stated that the project focused on the development of competence in digital psychological assessment and intervention. The program was conducted for three months, from September to November 2023.
Kenika檚 Work Value
Kenika檚 Work Value measures employee performance at work. The measuring tool can be used by the company or organization to define employee檚 good behavior in line with company expectations, as well as negative behavior that needs attention within a professional context.
淚 haven檛 seen many ideas for work value measurement like this. There might be some, but it檚 limited. Whereas work values are significantly impacting work performance and company output, people檚 awareness of those is still lacking, Karimah said.
They hoped that the measuring tool could be marketed, raising people檚 awareness about the importance of work values in the professional world.
Collaborating with reputable partners
ADPB focuses on making collaborations with reputable partners. Karimah and her team partnered with Faxtor Indonesia, a Test Publisher Company based in Bandung, West Java. Faxtor Indonesia is one of the first companies to provide Test Publisher and Online Psychometric Assessment services in Indonesia.
During the internship, Karimah and her team were responsible for developing projects, marketing services, serving as online testers for assessment tools, creating educational video content, and organizing webinars for international psychological organizations. These activities offered meaningful experiences for delving deeper into the field of psychology, especially in psychopreneurship.
