System Justifying Belief, Belief in a Just World, Conservative Ideology and Subjective Well-Being
Abstract :
Someone adopts an ideology because ideology will help psychological needs, interpret and regulate the social world around him. In other words, ideology will help shape the right attitudes, values and societal goals and how to achieve them, so that individuals will be able to understand, predict and even rationalize the rules of society. This study examines the relationship between the system of justifying belief, belief in a just world and conservative ideology on subjective well-being in outsourced workers. A total of 321 outsourced workers currently employed at the company participated in this study. The results showed that the system of justifying belief, belief in a just world and conservative ideology correlated positively and significantly to cognitive subjective well-being aspects. While the affective aspects of subjective well-being were not found to be correlated. This is because the measurement of the affective aspect is more influenced by individual personality. This research indirectly illustrates the palliative function of ideology in helping disadvantaged groups (low economic status) in the face of inequality so that those who are disadvantaged by the system continue to recognize that socio-economic differences are legitimate and fair (support the status quo).

Abstract :
The COVID-19 pandemic has a significant impact on individual’s psychological well-being and job performance. This study aimed to examine the relationship between psychological well-being and job performance among male and female employees at Universiti Malaysia Sabah (UMS) in the post-pandemic period. A total of 152 employees participated in an online survey that assessed psychological well-being (using Psychological Well-being Survey) and job performance (using the Individual Work Performance Questionnaire- IWPQ). Results of a t-test revealed that female employees had significantly higher levels of most psychological well-being dimensions (autonomy, environmental mastery, personal growth, relations with others and self-acceptance). However, no significant difference was found between male and female employees in term of purpose in life dimension in psychological well-being. Meanwhile findings showed that female employees had significantly higher levels of two dimensions in job performance (task performance and conceptual performance) but not significant in counterproductive work behavior dimension in job performance. These findings suggest that male and female employees do differ in psychological well-being and job performance in the post-pandemic period. To determine strategies for promoting the psychological well-being and job performance of all employees in the post-pandemic period, further research is required to investigate potential explanations for these findings.

Procrastination, Emotion Regulation Difficulties, Time Management, Undergraduate Student
Abstract :
Procrastination is considered a serious societal problem and, it is important to study the factors influencing it. Emotion regulation difficulties and time management are considered as the potential predictor of procrastination. However, there are limited number of studies that investigate both variables in examining procrastination. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the effect of emotion regulation difficulties and time management on procrastination among undergraduate students in UMS. In this study, a survey study with a quantitative approach was applied as the research design. A total of 152 respondents with the inclusion criteria of undergraduate students and full-time students were recruited through snowball sampling method. Each respondent has completed the Pure Procrastination Scale (PPS), Brief version of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS-18), and Time Management Questionnaire (TMQ). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that emotion regulation difficulties showed a significant positive relationship with procrastination, while time management showed a significant negative relationship with procrastination. The results of the multiple linear regression analysis revealed that emotion regulation difficulties and time management are significant predictors of procrastination (F_((2,149) )=78.933,p<.05), whereby emotion regulation difficulties showed a slightly larger contribution to procrastination compared to time management. Overall, the study’s finding has helped to fill the gap in the previous study while allowing further understanding on the procrastination phenomenon. The present study also provides guidance for future researchers when examining the effects of emotion regulation difficulties and time management on procrastination.

This study examined the level of happiness among counselling students in seven public universities in Malaysia (N = 299). On therage, the counselling students' happiness score was 3.49 (SD = 0.502). This is a moderate score for happiness. The positive items most strongly agreed by participants were item 3 “I feel that life is very useful,” endorsed by 22.4% of the participants, followed by item 9 “Life is good” by 21.7% and em 11 “ I always laugh by 15.7% of the participants. On the other hand, the negative items strongly disagreed by participants were item 29 “I have no happy memories of the past,” endorsed by 52.5% of the participants, followed by item 24 “I have no particular meaning and purpose in my life,” endorsed by 43.5 of the participants and item 10 “I don't think that the world is a good place” endorsed by 42.5% of the participants. This showed that even though the level of happiness was only moderate, students still thought that life was good and meaningful. As for the difference of happiness between genders, the result showed that there was no significant difference of happiness between genders t(297)= 1.88, p>.05. This could be due to the equal opportunities given to all students; thus males and females shoulders the same responsibilities and burdens. The students went through the same Movement Control Orders and therefore had the same experiences in this hard time.
