The purpose of this study was to test the hypothesis that the outcome of contemplating death during young adulthood, a change in time attitude, is influenced by present-orientation via the views of death. A total of 199 undergraduates responded to a questionnaire assessing time attitude and present-orientation before and after the assignment to contemplate death. The results of structural equation modeling revealed that present-orientation has a direct effect on the outcome, but the view of death does not have a mediated effect. The results of ANOVA also supported the direct effect of present-orientation. The analysis of the individual description showed that present-orientation has relevance with how to think life after contemplating death. The relationships between contemplating death and young adults’ ego identity which is closely related to time perspective were discussed.

The aim of this research is to examine the impact of vigilant, devoted, and self-sacrificing personality styles on intimacy (engagement, communication, shared friends) among young adults in romantic relationships (dating/married). A total of 1000 respondents aged 20-40 years old completed questionnaires on personality styles (Personality Self-Portrait) and intimacy (Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships). Data analysis using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) shows a significant impact of self-sacrificing personality styles on engagement (γ = -0,511, p < 0,01) and communication (γ = -0,361, p < 0,01). There are also significant influences of vigilant (γ = -0,225, p < 0,05) and devoted personality styles (γ = 0,132, p < 0,05) to shared friends. The impact of self-sacrificing personality styles indicates the importance of both parties’ involvement in influencing their relationship. Besides, being too sensitive (vigilant personality styles’ characteristic) and having a sense of comfort in relationships with others (devoted personality styles’ characteristic) could influence how individuals engage in social relationships outside their romantic relationships. Key words: Intimacy, personality styles, romantic relationshipsAbstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan melihat pengaruh ciri kepribadian vigilant, devoted, dan self-sacrificing, terhadap intimacy (engagement, communication, shared friends) pada dewasa muda yang sedang menjalin hubungan romantis (berpacaran/menikah). Sebanyak 1000 responden berusia 20-40 tahun mengisi alat ukur ciri kepribadian (Personality Self-Portrait) dan intimacy (Personal Assessment of Intimacy in Relationships). Hasil analisis menggunakan Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) menunjukkan pengaruh ciri kepribadian self-sacrificing yang signifikan terhadap engagement (γ = -0,511, p < 0,01) dan communication (γ = -0,361, p < 0,01). Selain itu ditemukan pula pengaruh ciri kepribadian vigilant (γ = -0,225, p < 0,05) dan devoted (γ = 0,132, p < 0,05) yang signifikan terhadap shared friends, juga pengaruh status hubungan yang signifikan terhadap communication (γ = 0,102, p < 0,01). Pengaruh ciri kepribadian self-sacrificing yang signifikan menekankan pentingnya keterlibatan kedua pihak dalam mempengaruhi kualitas hubungan mereka. Selain itu, kepekaan yang terlalu tinggi (karakteristik ciri kepribadian vigilant) dan rasa nyaman akan hubungan dengan orang lain (karakteristik ciri kepribadian devoted) dapat mempengaruhi individu dalam menjalin hubungan dengan lingkungan sosial di luar hubungannya.

The Six Sigma methodology has become a frequently used term in discussions regarding quality management and it is considered to be an important management philosophy, which supports organizations in their efforts to obtain satisfied customers. In this study, we proposed Six Sigma methodology to improve the Job Performance in the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) in Saudi Arabia. We focus on three dimensions in our study; first: preparations for the application of the Six Sigma methodology in TVTC, second: the application requirements of Six Sigma methodology, and third: the application of the Six Sigma methods affects Improve Job performance in TVTC. Since the neural of Six Sigma methodology depends on the mediator statistical analysis, we suggest using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to test the proposed Six Sigma model in TVTC. From SEM results, we find that the Six Sigma preparations have a significant effect on the application requirements and that the application requirements have a significant effect on the Job performance in TVTC. Based on that, we recommend using the Six Sigma methodology in TVTC to improve the performance of these corporations.
