Namun, pelaksanaan fungsi tersebut masih cenderung berorientasi pada layanan administratif sehingga pembinaan religius mahasiswa belum berjalan secara optimal. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan peran Penasehat Akademik dalam pembinaan religius mahasiswa Program Studi Bimbingan Konseling Islam UIN Abdul Muthalib Sangadji Ambon. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian deskriptif. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 218 mahasiswa yang ditentukan menggunakan teknik total sampling. Data dianalisis menggunakan statistik deskriptif berupa frekuensi dan persentase. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara umum peran Penasehat Akademik berada pada kategori tinggi (56%), kategori sedang (33%), dan kategori rendah (11%). Indikator pemberian teladan religius memperoleh capaian tertinggi (69,7%), sedangkan monitoring perkembangan mahasiswa menjadi aspek dengan capaian terendah. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa Penasehat Akademik telah berperan cukup baik dalam pembinaan religius mahasiswa, namun masih diperlukan penguatan terutama pada aspek monitoring, pendampingan, dan motivasi keagamaan agar pembinaan religius dapat berlangsung secara lebih optimal dan berkelanjutan.</p> Fahmi Sallatalohy Ainun Diana Lating Sawal Mahaly Marwa Laharudin Copyright (c) 2026 Fahmi Sallatalohy, Ainun Diana Lating, Sawal Mahaly, Marwa Laharudin https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-11-04 2026-11-04 7 2 123 133 10.37411/jgcj.v7i2.4941 Locus of Control as a Predictor of Career Decision-Making Among Young Adults in Medan https://www.ejournal-fip-ung.ac.id/ojs/index.php/jgcj/article/view/5086 <p><em>This study aims to determine the relationship between internal locus of control and career choice among 11th-grade students at State Senior High School 14, Medan. A quantitative correlational design was employed. The population comprised all 11th-grade students at State Senior High School 14, Medan, from which a sample of 187 students was drawn using proportionate stratified random sampling across ten classes. Data were collected through a career-choice questionnaire and an internal locus of control questionnaire, both developed on a four-point Likert scale. The results showed that the residual data were normally distributed (Asymp. Sig.=0.200 &gt; 0.05) and linearly related (Sig. Linearity = 0.000 &lt; 0.05). The correlation coefficient obtained was r = 0.723 with a significance value (Sig., 2-tailed) of 0.000 (&lt; 0.05), indicating a significant, positive, and strong relationship between internal locus of control and career choice, with a coefficient of determination of 52.27%. </em></p> Asiah Rafael Ginting Erwita Ika Violina Mirza Irawan Fadinda Aisyah Copyright (c) 2026 Asiah, Rafael Ginting, Erwita Ika Violina, Mirza Irawan, Fadinda Aisyah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-11-04 2026-11-04 7 2 134 140 10.37411/jgcj.v7i2.5086 Perilaku Berisiko dan Kontrol Diri Sebagai Prediktor Keputusan Akademik Siswa https://www.ejournal-fip-ung.ac.id/ojs/index.php/jgcj/article/view/5110 <p>Kontrol diri dan perilaku berisiko merupakan dua faktor yang berperan penting dalam menentukan kualitas pengambilan keputusan akademik siswa, khususnya pada siswa UPT SMP Negeri 1 Mattiro Sompe yang masih menunjukkan kecenderungan menunda tugas, membolos, menyontek, dan lebih mengutamakan aktivitas non-akademik dibandingkan belajar secara konsisten. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kontrol diri, pengaruh perilaku berisiko, serta pengaruh keduanya secara simultan terhadap pengambilan keputusan akademik siswa. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan jenis penelitian asosiatif. Sampel penelitian sebanyak 125 siswa kelas IX ditentukan melalui rumus Slovin dari populasi 182 siswa, dengan data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner skala Likert dan dianalisis melalui regresi linear berganda berbantuan SPSS versi 22. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa kontrol diri secara parsial tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pengambilan keputusan akademik (Sig. 0,092 &gt; 0,05), sementara perilaku berisiko berpengaruh signifikan secara parsial (Sig. 0,000 &lt; 0,05). Secara simultan, kedua variabel tersebut berpengaruh signifikan terhadap pengambilan keputusan akademik (F = 80,693; Sig. &lt; 0,000) dengan kontribusi sebesar 56,9% (R Square = 0,569), sedangkan sisanya sebesar 43,1% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar model penelitian ini.</p> Ahmad Sanusi Adnan Achiruddin Saleh Emilia Mustary Nur Afiah Copyright (c) 2026 Ahmad Sanusi, Adnan Achiruddin Saleh, Emilia Mustary, Nur Afiah https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-11-05 2026-11-05 7 2 141 154 10.37411/jgcj.v7i2.5110 Factors Influencing Bystander Behavior in School Bullying: A Systematic Literature Review https://www.ejournal-fip-ung.ac.id/ojs/index.php/jgcj/article/view/5094 <p>Bystanders play a decisive role in either escalating or mitigating school bullying, yet the factors shaping their behavior remain fragmented. This study employed a systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines to identify internal and external factors, as well as mediating and moderating mechanisms, influencing bystander behavior in school bullying. A total of 25 studies published between 2021 and 2026 across ten countries were included. The findings identified internal and external factors, along with mediating and moderating mechanisms, that together explain how individual and contextual factors shape bystander behavior. Defender self-efficacy showed the most consistent association with bystander behavior, whereas moral disengagement was the most frequently examined construct and the only mediator replicated across studies. Teacher context, although examined in only three studies, produced the largest effect size. These findings provide an evidence base for school counselors to develop interventions that strengthen students’ capacity to intervene, address moral disengagement, and foster supportive student teacher relationships and school environments.</p> Nadea Diva Nurfin Afrilia Retno Tri Hariastuti Copyright (c) 2026 Nadea Diva Nurfin Afrilia, Retno Tri Hariastuti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-11-05 2026-11-05 7 2 155 171 10.37411/jgcj.v7i2.5094 Kontribusi Academic Grit terhadap Resiliensi Prestasi Peserta Didik https://www.ejournal-fip-ung.ac.id/ojs/index.php/jgcj/article/view/5055 <p>Penelitian ini bertolak dari fenomena rendahnya ketangguhan mental sebagian peserta didik kelas VIII di SMP N 1 2 x 11 Enam Lingkung, yang tampak dari kecenderungan mudah menyerah, apatis terhadap hasil evaluasi yang buruk, serta enggan mengevaluasi diri dan mencari bantuan. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis tingkat academic grit, tingkat resiliensi prestasi, serta kontribusi academic grit dalam membentuk resiliensi prestasi peserta didik. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain asosiatif kausal dan analisis regresi linear sederhana, melibatkan 40 peserta didik kelas VIII berprestasi rendah yang ditetapkan melalui sampling jenuh. Data dikumpulkan melalui angket psikologis skala Likert. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan academic grit peserta didik dominan berada pada kategori sedang (57,50%), demikian pula resiliensi prestasi (55,00%). Analisis regresi membuktikan kontribusi positif dan signifikan academic grit terhadap resiliensi prestasi (F = 11,599; p = 0,002), dengan koefisien determinasi (R²) sebesar 0,234 atau 23,4%, sedangkan 76,6% sisanya dipengaruhi faktor lain.

However, research addressing these dimensions remains fragmented and insufficiently integrated. This study aimed to map the characteristics of the literature, synthesize findings on multicultural counseling professionalism, and identify evidence gaps and priorities for its further development in Indonesia. A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Searches were performed in OpenAlex and Semantic Scholar and supplemented by citation searching. The working corpus comprised 91 publications published between 2020 and 2026. Data were extracted using a structured framework and analyzed through narrative and thematic synthesis. Methodological quality was appraised using the 2018 Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) for empirical studies with designs appropriate to the tool. The literature identified multicultural competence as the most prominent dimension, particularly counselors’ self-awareness, knowledge of clients’ cultural contexts, and culturally responsive skills. In contrast, professional ethics, culturally responsive counseling practice, and professional identity were not consistently examined in an integrated manner. Several publications highlighted the use of local wisdom and the adaptation of international theoretical frameworks, although the strength of the supporting evidence varied according to study design and reporting completeness. Key evidence gaps included limited evaluations of intervention effectiveness, insufficient use of multiple assessment sources, and the inadequate integration of multicultural perspectives into counselor education and supervision. Overall, multicultural counseling professionalism in Indonesia is developing conceptually, but the available empirical evidence remains insufficient to support definitive conclusions about the effectiveness of counseling practices or counselors’ overall levels of competence. These findings underscore the need to strengthen cultural reflexivity, case-based supervision, multisource competency assessment, and ethical guidance for digital counseling within counselor education and professional practice. The integration of local wisdom into counseling should also be approached critically, with due regard for clients’ autonomy, confidentiality, and individual experiences.</p> Rafael Lisinus Ginting Erwita Ika Violina Budi Astuti Copyright (c) 2026 Rafael Lisinus Ginting, Erwita Ika Violina, Budi Astuti https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 2026-11-12 2026-11-12 7 2 191 217 10.37411/jgcj.v7i2.5198
