Analysis of subjective well-being of Indonesian lecturers at Suburban Malaysia Universities.

In this study, we analyzed the subjective condition of well-being of Indonesian lecturers who worked at universities in Malaysia as a social component of development. The dimensions of subjective well-being examined in this study consist of life satisfaction, positive effects, and negative effects. The study used qualitative phenomenological descriptive analysis and conducted in-depth interviews with six male respondents aged between 40 and 60 who had 10 years of work experience in Malaysia. This research was conducted at Universiti Tun Hussein Onn Malaysia, Batu Pahat, Johor and Legenda Education Group Mantin, Negeri Sembilan. The research process carried out was epoch, phenomenological reduction, imaginary change, synthesis of meaning and essence. Methods of analysis and data interpretation should generate literal transcriptions, bracketing, leveling, semantic clustering, imaginary variations, and then summarize into general conclusions. The study found that Indonesian lectures working in Malaysia have different subjective well-being, such as work, economic situation, education, well-being, social life and well-being. However, not all of these aspects make each other happy. Negative emotions can still felt at the workplace although they have a high level of satisfaction in their lives. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
