This conference was a prestigious international scientific forum that brought together academics, researchers, and practitioners from various countries to discuss current issues related to psychosocial factors in the workplace, occupational health and safety, leadership, organizational governance, and public policy. The forum also promoted cross-disciplinary and cross-cultural collaboration to strengthen mental health and worker well-being at the global level. In this forum, Prof. Dian Ratna Sawitri, Ph.D presented a research paper entitled “The Career Resilience Scale: Development and Initial Validation”, a collaborative work between the Faculty of Psychology UNDIP and the School of Applied Psychology, Griffith University. This study makes an important contribution to the development of research-based psychological instruments for measuring career resilience, while strengthening the UNDIP Faculty of Psychology’s position as a leading center for work and organizational psychology research in the Asia-Pacific region.
