Abstract. Students’ well-being among Indonesian scholars might be still 

unpopular as this topic could lead a blundered result in certain areas of 

disciplines. Yet, this topic is essential to reveal as it can be one of the 

indicators which can be taken into account on measuring the workload of 

students enrolling this state-owned institution. Not only that, this also might 

be an eminent output indicator for the quality of education specifically on 

educational outcomes. The instruments occupied in this study were 

interviews and surveys. Students and alumni of the polytechnic were asked 

to participate in this study and several key figures as well. This study used a 

mixed method research approach, which is widely accepted because it 

includes both qualitative and quantitative components. The results showed 

that the quality of student well-being in an emotional, social and school 

dimension of student PPIM is relatively in good level. Thus, the main factors 

influencing student’s well-being which affects educational outcomes in 

PPIM were academic efficacy, self-efficacy and support from their friends. 

Hence, with the tight schedule and tough physical activity, the institution 

should pay attention on a psychological aspect.

1. INTRODUCTION 

In educational practice, the essence of educational background as a foundation to get right 

and proper jobs are still debatable. Several pedagogical experts in graduate employability   (Abd 

Majid et al, 2020; Boahin & Hofman, 2013; Holmes, L. 2013) argued that skills and knowledge 

gained during studying in higher education stages have positive relationships with employability. 

However, another perspective about linearity of education and employability is not significant 

which was revealed by Yusof & Jamaluddin (2017). This study unveiled that graduate 

employability does not solely depend on students’ academic background but relies on their

preparedness in the workforce with their personal factors, organizational experiences, and the 

situation of the labor force itself.   

Students’ personal factors may relate to psychological, social and cognitive aspects. It is 

widely discussed under the umbrella of the well-being state. The definition of well-being itself has 

expanded into numerous fields because it comprises all aspects of healthy and successful living, 

including psychological, economic, physical, and other domains (Arslan and Coşkun 2020, 

Govorova, Benítez et al. 2020). Whereas student’s well-being is “psychological, cognitive, social 

and physical functioning and capabilities that students need to live a happy fulfilling life” (OECD 

2017). The psychological dimension comprises a sense of purpose in life, self-awareness, affective 

states and emotional strength which are reinforced by self-esteem, motivation, resilience, self-

efficacy, hope and optimism. In a discussion of the social dimension, PISA adopted the Polard and 

Lee model which includes students’ relationship with family, teachers and peers and sense 

belonging (Pollard and Lee 2003). To avoid broadening discussion, this study is a focus on 

discussing emotional, social and school dimension of students’ well-being by considering the 

learning circumstance of PPIM.  

Emotional well-being is described by Schutte et al. as "an affective subjective experience 

comprising domains such as mood and self-esteem" (Schutte, Malouff et al. 2002). The lack of 

behavior problems such as aggressive and impulsive behavior, withdrawal, sadness, anxiety, and 

somatic difficulties is another approach to think about emotional well-being. (Parhiala, Torppa, 

and colleagues, 2018). Parhiala goes on to say that four indicators are used to quantify this 

dimension of happiness: pupils' self-reported school fatigue, self-esteem, and externalizing and 

internalizing behavior problems. Out of these four indicators, motivation (Hagenauer & Hascher, 

2014; Pekrun,1992, 2006, 2009) and mood as well as self-esteem, are also associated with emotion 

at schools (Schutte, Malouff et al. 2002). 

Emotional as well as social well-being are important matters associated with school life. 

Dacey recommends SEL, social emotional learning, as a holistic approach in education that fosters 

students to understand themselves and be able to cope with the difficulty in the future life (Dacey, 

Fiore et al., 2016). Good social and emotional skills will help the students to face the challenge of 

a socio-economic climate in the future life (OECD 2015). 

Indonesian Railway Polytechnic is a boarding school focusing on developing vocational 

education where the learning process gradually occurs a whole day. Therefore, the students have 

a tight schedule, depending on the school rules. Thus, this school environment is the main point 

that influences student’s well-being regarding that students of PPIM spend almost all their time at 

school environment rather than at home. Konu and Rimpela developed a model school well-being 

based on Allardt’s well-being concept (Konu and Rimpelä 2002).

Allardt’s well-being indicators are allocated into three categories. First,      ‘having’ which 

indicates school conditions (school well-being). The second is ‘loving’ which refers to social 

relationships’ aspect (social well-being). The third is ‘being’ that denotes self-fulfillment 

(emotional well-being).  

Moving further on the studying process, the students' condition, particularly their 

psychological circumstances during their studies, play a role in their academic success. This is in 

accordance with the findings of various studies looking for positive correlations between 

psychological fitness and academic achievement. Quinn & Duckworth, (2007); Purtaghi & 

Pakpour, (2014); Tabbodi et al, (2015) have all stated that academic accomplishment and personal 

well-being are correlated. Subjective and objective indicators of competencies, perceptions, 

expectations, and life conditions can be used to measure this phenomenon of a dynamic state that 

occurs among students related to their ability and opportunity to achieve their personal and social 

goals, which involves multiple dimensions of students' lives (Borgonovi and Pál 2016). Subjective 

well-being refers to how people assess their own lives. Subjective wellbeing (SWB) was defined 

by Zhang and Renshaw as "a person's self-perceptions of so-called "positive" interior experiences, 

which are not always positive."  

Subjective well-being (SWB) in school indicating how students experience and 

subjectively assess their school lives is a key indicator revealing how the students adapt to school 

life (Tian, Wang et al. 2015, Yang, Tian et al. 2019). There has been a series of research conducted 

to reveal that there is a positive relationship between students’ well-being and their academic 

achievement (Gutman & Feinstein, 2008; Gutman, Brown, Akerman, & Obolenskaya, 2009).  

Students' subjective well-being was reported to have a positive correlation to students' achievement 

(Putri, Agustina et al. 2019) (Arslan & Duru, 2017; Shoshani & Slone, 2013).  Students ‘subjective 

Figure 1.1 Allardt’s Well-Being Concept

well-being has been assessed by various scales so far, for example Multidimensional Students’ life 

Satisfaction Scale, Comprehensive Quality of Life Scale,  the Quality of School Life Scale and 

PANAS (Tian, et all, 2015). Those scales have some components that reveal the factors related to 

student’s subjective well-being, for example, PANAS measures affective component.  

There have been numbers of research on factors influencing students’ educational 

outcomes (KIRANA 2016, Prapdopo and Fariyanti 2016, Rahmayani 2017, TL, Widowati et al. 

2017, Hartati and Anugrahwati 2019, Isnurani, Sastro et al. 2021). However, there is less empirical 

studies related to adult learners specifically from ministry-owned educational institutions 

discussing such topics related to students’ well-being. A few of them are investigating the 

correlation between subjective well-being and academic achievement (Putri, Agustina et al. 2019), 

as well as studying the factors that influence college students’ well-being (Dewi and Nasywa 2019, 

Rulanggi, Fahera et al. 2021). The last two studies were literature review. Therefore, it is valuable 

to conduct a study discover the factors influencing adult pupils’ well-being on their future 

educational outcomes.  

This study therefore is aimed to seek the predictors and strong factors about their 

psychological aspects in their academic output which will be focused on their academic progress 

and readiness entering the labor force. Moreover, there will be a multiple stage of selecting the 

variables as factors, the depth analysis will be taken by composing a systematic review to 

strengthen whether the selected factors will be measurable and representative or not.  

2. METHOD 

A case study technique was used in this study, which is a frequent methodology in 

educational settings (Merriam, 1998). A case study, according to Yin (2003), is a "complete 

research technique" for addressing the reasons or elements that influence the process of particular 

phenomena. Stake (1995) identified a case that should be considered an object while 

simultaneously emphasizing the process. Stake argues that a case study is better suited to a study 

program than a process of a specific event, but Yin feels that a case study is better suited to an 

evaluation study for a certain educational institution. The case study is also more "holistic, 

empirical, and emphatic," emphasizing that it is part of a larger research system, according to 

Stake. 

This study used a mixed method or multi-method research approach, which is widely 

accepted because it combines qualitative and quantitative components. In research, the quantitative 

and qualitative methodologies are the most well-known. Each approach has its own set of flaws; 

however, by combining the two methods, known as mixed methods, more detailed, accurate, and 

comprehensive findings can be obtained as one method counteracts another (Terrel, 2012). 

According to Schulze (2003), integrating the two methodologies allows researchers to generate 

research results that are more in-depth, broad, and rich in information from diverse perspectives. 

Furthermore, Morse and Chung (2003) believe that a mixed method approach, rather than a

quantitative or qualitative study design, allows for more proofs from various sources, resulting in 

deeper insights. 

This research was conducted at Indonesian Railway Polytechnique Madiun. The 

convenience sampling method used in this research for this study will investigate the matter based 

on the subjective view of the respondent based on their experience. The respondents have given 

their approval in providing detail information needed. The total sample in this study is 98 

respondents which consists of 57 students and 41 alumni.  

In the quantitative phase, this study used an online survey to gain quantitative data through 

a questionnaire. The questionnaire which was an adaptation from BASWBSS (Tian, et all, 2015) 

consists of 17 statements related to their experience during study time at PPIM that reveal the 

school well-being, emotional well-being and social well-being based on the respondents’ 

subjective thought. All the statement used 5-point Likert Scale labelled as follows: 

Table 2. 1 Criteria of Likert Scale 

Criteria Scale 

Strongly agree (SA) 5 

Agree (A) 4 

Neutral (N) 3 

Disagree (D) 2 

Strongly disagree (SD) 1 

This data was analyzed using Likert scale to determine which variables can be measured 

quantitatively. After the results of student responses are obtained, then the data were analyzed to 

know students’ responses score through the formula as Nazir (2005) implies the formula as follows 

below: 

Formula: T x Pn 

Note: 

T  : total respondent 

Pn : The chosen Likert score 

Y : The highest score of Likert x total respondent x total response  

X  : The lowest score of Likert x total respondent x total response  

Interval formula = 100 / total score 

Percentage formula % = Total Score / Y x 100  

The following criteria of score interpretation based on interval 

0% – 19,99%  : strongly disagree 

20% – 39,99%  : disagree 

40% – 59,99%  : neutral 

60% – 79,99%  : agree

80% – 100%  : strongly agree 

At the qualitative phase, a face-to-face semi-structured interview was conducted with two 

teachers and two counseling staffs of PPIM. They were interviewed about how they see the 

students, whether any problem with the students’ performance, how they deal with the problem 

and ask them to give suggestions that will improve the aspect of students’ well-being during the 

study period. The information from this interview is used to get more deeply held attitudes, values, 

beliefs, and assumptions concerning wellbeing in schools. 

3. RESULT 

The following is the finding that reveal the factors that influence the students’ well-being 

on educational outcomes in The Indonesian Railway Polytechnic. This study gained students' 

responses 17 item of predicting factors of well-being which are classified into three parts. The first 

was used to gain students’ experience responses toward the predicting factors of school well-being. 

Then, the second was used to gain students’ response toward predicting factors experienced related 

to emotional well-being. Thus, the third was used to gain students’ response toward predicting 

factors experienced regarding social well-being. This data of predicting factors of the three 

dimensions of well-being are then compared to seek for the strong prediction factors that affect 

students’ well-being.  

School well being  

From the school well-being dimension questionnaire part, the students’ responses toward 

the five prediction factors measured using Likert scale are presented as follows:

Based on the counting result, it was found that the value for those who chose strongly agree 

was 150. The value for those who chose to agree was 206. The value for those who chose neutral 

was 117. The value for those who chose to disagree was 51. The value for those who chose strongly

disagree was 11. All those results are counted and the total score is 1813 with counted score 

interpretation follows: 

 Y  = the highest score of Likert x total respondent x total response  

= 5 x 98 x 5 = 2450 

 X = the lowest score of Likert x total respondent x total response  

= 1 x 98 x 5 = 490 

     Percentage formula % = Total Score / Y x 100 = 1813 /2450 x 100 = 74% (agree). From 

the value obtained, it is concluded that the students’ response toward a predicting factor of school 

well-being is ‘agree’. It means most students really experience the predicting factors of school 

well-being stated during their study time at PPI Madiun. Among the five predicting factors that 

serve as influencing factors of school well-being, most students agree that their study at PPI 

Madiun opens a big opportunity to improve their skill which reflects that most students have a 

high academic efficacy.  

 This dimension has the lowest percentage compared to two other dimensions. From three 

negative predicting factor (item 2,4,5) the experience related to subject course has gained attention 

from the teacher. According teacher 1, this point may be experienced by the alumni because 

experience the curriculum redesigned taken after that period.   

The next negative prediction factor of school well-being is related to students’ feeling 

overwhelming during study time. Similar to the information from the teacher about physical 

activity which affects the class. 

Emotional well being 

From the emotional well-being dimension questionnaire part, the students’ responses 

toward the seven prediction factors measured using Likert scale are presented as follows.

Based on the counting result, it was found that the value for those who chose strongly agree 

was 220. The value for those who chose to agree was 328. The value for those who chose neutral 

was 110. The value for those who chose to disagree was 19. The value for those who chose strongly

disagree was 11. All those results are counted and the total score is 2789 with counted score 

interpretation follows: 

Y = the highest score of Likert x total respondent x total response  

= 5 x 98 x 7 = 3430 

 X  = the lowest score of Likert x total respondent x total response  

= 1 x 98 x 7 = 686 

Percentage formula % = Total Score / Y x 100 = 2789 /3430 x 100 = 81,3% (strongly 

agree). From the value obtained, it is concluded that the students’ response toward predicting the 

factor of emotional well-being is at the ‘strongly agree’ level. It means most students really 

experience the predicting factors of emotional well-being stated during their study time at PPI 

Madiun. Among the seven predicting factors served as influencing factors of school emotional 

being, most students believe that the skills that they learn during the study time at PPIM will lead 

their career in the future. This reflect that most students have a high self-efficacy.  

This dimension has the highest percentage among the three dimensions of student well-

being in this study. From the table, it can be seen that most students are highly motivated either at 

school or when they do an internship. This high motivation may because the students think the 

outcome of their activity is interesting, useful and important (Parhiala et al, 2018). Motivation In 

this case, referring to the previous predicting factors, the students’ self-efficacy and academics 

turn out to be the source of motivation. 

The other predicting factor is related to the emotional domain, is the students’ ability to 

focus. Although 7% students are extremely sure to see themselves to be able to focus on studying, 

about 30% students feel unsure that they can focus during studying. The difficulty to focus can be 

caused by lack of sleep, fatigue or anxiety. Referring to the information from the interview with 

the teacher that students sometimes feel sleepy in the classroom because PPIM holds many 

physical activities from early morning until evening, the students’ experience having difficulty to 

focus during studying is confirmed.  

Social Well Being 

From the social well-being dimension questionnaire part, the students’ responses toward the 

three prediction factors measured using Likert scale are presented as follows: 

Table 3.2. The Result of Social Well-Being Questionnaire  

No Question  SA A N D SD

3 my friends always support me 50 39 6 1 1 

Based on the counting result, it was found that the value for those who chose strongly agree 

was 94. The value for those who chose to agree was 130. The value for those who chose neutral

was 60. The value for those who chose to disagree was 6. The value for those who chose strongly 

disagree was 2. All those results are counted and the total score is 1184 with counted score 

interpretation follows: 

 Y  = the highest score of Likert x total respondent x total response  

= 5 x 98 x 3 = 1470 

 X  = the lowest score of Likert x total respondent x total response  

= 1 x 98 x 3 = 294 

Percentage formula % = Total Score / Y x 100 = 1184/1470 x 100 = 80,5% (strongly agree). 

Therefore, the result of students’ response toward social well-being is ‘strongly agree’. It means 

most students have a very good response toward social well-being. 

From the value obtained, it is concluded that the students’ response toward predicting 

factor of social well-being is at the ‘strongly agree’ level. It means most students really experience 

the predicting factors of social well-being stated during their study time at PPI Madiun. Among 

the three predicting factors that served as influencing factors of school emotional being, most 

students believe that their friends always supporting them during the study time at PPIM will lead 

their career in the future. This reflects the predicting factor ‘support’. 

The explanation above brings us to the conclusion that generally the students' well-being 

of PPIM cadets is good. It can be seen from the relatively high percentage of each dimension based 

on students' subjective tests. This condition is confirmed by the evaluation of the staff. The staff 

perceive the students of PPIM have a mental strength and good attitude.  

The strong predicting positive factors of SBW are student motivation, academic and self-

efficacy and support from friends. The item that serves as a negative predicting factor of SWB is 

related to school well-being dimension. It can be noticed as well that some predicting factors may 

influence other factors such as. The similar finding of a well-being factor networking (Govorova 

et.al, 2020)        

The result presented above, also reveals how the emotional and social state of the student 

and how their environment -in this case school- influenced their learning process. The 

interventions for reducing the likelihood of negative well-being occurring is described below. The 

obvious negative factors related to what students experience in internship, concerning the subject 

course. An alumnus who is now working for a railway operator, and it was informed that he was 

quick to adapt to the new driving system on MRT. Responding to this matter, PPIM conducts 

regular either internal evaluation or external evaluation involving stakeholders.  

One of the teachers admitted that the institution has not been able to afford a particular 

training machine yet because of its high expense. Yet, according to her, this obstacle is overcome 

by giving the chance to the student to do the internship in the company that has the latest 

technology so that the student can learn and practice using the newest technology possible. In the 

evaluation session with stakeholders, it is obtained that the students adapted quickly with the new 

equipment used because the students had already mastered the basic skill very well. PPIM also

conducted curriculum design with the stake     holder involved to ensure that student gets the up 

dated knowledge that they need at the workplace.  

Another negative factor is concerning students’ focus in studying. To overcome this 

problem. Teacher 2 suggested,  as a teacher she had to pay more attention to the students, created 

conducive classroom and applied appropriate method such as joyful learning. Those steps in line 

with the study on SWB intervention as Flinchbaugh, C. L., et al. (2012) stated upwards. 

4. CONCLUSION 

Students' well-being is one important indicator in evaluating whether the education process 

is on the right track. The quality of student well-being in an emotional, social and school dimension 

of a student of PPIM is relatively in good level. The influence of this good state of well-being 

affected student performance particularly in the workplace. Derived from the result of the study, 

the main factors influencing student’s well-being which affects educational outcomes are academic 

efficacy, self-efficacy and support from their friends. 

Hence, with the tight schedule and tough physical activity, the institution should pay 

attention on a psychological aspect. Students’ daily activity on the dormitory relatively starts early 

in the morning then continue the learning process at school time. The activity still continued later 

in the evening. The activities are ranging from exercising, studying, co-curricular activity, extra-

curricular activity, actually positive ones, aiming to maintain and increase students' hard skills and 

soft skills. Although rarely students are reported to ask for counseling to the counseling division, 

those burdens are potential generate stress on students which may lead to negative impact and 

release. With only two counselors handling about 600 students, it is difficult to do quick 

prevention, particularly in managing stress, anxiety and the other behavioral problem.
