Masalah penelitian ini adalah bagaimana strategi yang dilakukan seniman topeng Betawi dalam mempertahankan kesenian tersebut. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah merumuskan sejumlah strategi budaya yang dilakukan untuk mempertahankan kesenian tradisional. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan penulis adalah penelitian lapangan, meliputi wawancara dan observasi lapangan terhadap Nyi Meh, maestro topeng Betawi tahun 1970-an. Penelitian ini merujuk pada teori antropologi budaya yang dikemukakan Koentjaraningrat, Keesing, Malinowski, Ranjabar, Alwasilah, Sendjaja, dan Yunus. Temuan penting penelitian ini adalah idealisme Nyi Meh dalam berkesenian dan melestarikan teater topeng Betawi membawanya pada sejumlah strategi dan sikap dalam menghadapi penghargaan yang tidak memadai dari masyarakat ataupun lembaga pengayom. Hasil penelitian lapangan ini melengkapi tesis Yvone Tri Yoga Hoesodoningsih dan disertasi Ninuk Kleden-Probonegoro mengenai Nyi Meh sebagai kembang (primadona/maestro) topeng Betawi. Kata kunci: topeng Betawi, strategi budaya, pemertahan budaya AbstractBetawi mask is a Betawi traditional art that until the 1970s was very popular in the community. In the 2000s, this art was dim and even threatened with extinction. The problem of this research is how the strategy used by Betawi mask artists in maintaining the art.

Abstract. Explicit motives are well-studied in the field of personality and motivation psychology. However, the statistical overlap of different explicit motive measures is only moderate. As a consequence, the Unified Motive Scales (UMS; Schönbrodt & Gerstenberg, 2012 ) were developed to improve the measurement of explicit motives. The present longitudinal field study examined the predictive validity of the UMS achievement motive subscale. Applicants of a police department ( n = 168, Mage = 25.11, 53 females and 115 males) completed the UMS and their performance in the selection process was assessed. As expected, UMS achievement predicted success in the selection process. The findings provide first evidence for the predictive validity of UMS achievement in an applied setting.

Abstract. This study uses implicit voice theory to examine the influence of employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation on employees’ voice behavior via voice efficacy. The results of a pretest of 302 employees using critical thinking questionnaires and a field study of 273 dyads of supervisors and their subordinates revealed that both employees’ critical thinking and leaders’ inspirational motivation had a positive effect on employees’ voice and that voice efficacy mediates the relationships among employees’ critical thinking, leaders’ inspirational motivation, and employees’ voice. Implications for research and practice are discussed.
