The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic requires each country to limit activities of its people outside the home by doing Work from Home (WFH). The purpose of this paper is to reveal the impact of WFH on worker productivity in the perspective of social psychology. The analysis shows that during WFH, worker productivity can increase due to the effects of social facilitation. Workers perceive the presence of others as triggers to increase their productivity. Conversely, workers' productivity can also decrease during working together with others because the presence of other people is perceived as a threat. On the other hand, job demands, distractors, and facilitators can activate the latent personality trait of an individual so that it manifests into a new work behavior during WFH. Strategies to maintain productivity is to use brainstorming, break down work teams into smaller, as well as the application of Nominal Group Technique
C COVID-19 memiliki dampak bagi masyarakat salah satunya adalah panic buying. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendapatkan gambaran secara komprehensif mengenai perilaku panic buying dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya di Indonesia. Metode dalam penelitian ini adalah mixed-method yang diawali dengan menyebarkan survei kepada 418 responden. Hasil yang diperoleh dari survei kemudian diperdalam dengan metode kualitatif melalui wawancara kepada enam narasumber. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa panic buying terjadi pada beberapa barang yang berpotensi sangat dibutuhkan selama pandemi. Hal tersebut di latar belakangi oleh kecemasan yang menyertai masyarakat. Akan tetapi, pada barang yang lain pembelian masih dilakukan dalam kondisi terkontrol dan sesuai kebutuhan. Kampanye untuk tidak melakukan panic buying yang dilakukan belum sepenuhnya efektif. Harapan terbesar dari mayoritas masyarakat justru bukan pada penyediaan stok barang yang dibutuhkan, tetapi lebih cenderung agar pemerintah meningkatkan kecepatan dalam menangani penyebaran COVID-19 ini. Kata kunci: panic buying, COVID-19, pandemi, perilaku konsumen
Ketimpangan ekonomi merupakan salah satu fenomena yang dapat menjadi permasalahan sosial. Kriminalitas adalah salah satunya. Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah mengkaji pengaruh ketimpangan ekonomi terhadap munculnya kriminalitas dari perspektif fungsionalisme, pengaruh ketimpangan ekonomi terhadap munculnya kriminalitas dari perspektif konflik dan menemukan solusi berbasis teori problematika sosial yang dapat digunakan untuk menurunkan ketimpangan ekonomi yang menjadi pemicu kriminalitas. Metode yang digunakan adalah narrative review yang merangkum berbagai hasil penelitian dan mengomparasikannya satu sama lain sehingga dapat menghasilkan interpretasi holistik. Literatur yang telah terkumpul diinterpretasi dalam bentuk naratif dengan mengelompokkan data hasil ekstraksi yang sejenis untuk menjawab tujuan penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa perspektif fungsionalisme melihat bahwa ketimpangan ekonomi yang berdampak pada kriminalitas disebabkan oleh ketidakmampuan setiap elemen dalam menjalankan fungsinya. Perspektif konflik melihat bahwa ketimpangan ekonomi yang berdampak pada kriminalitas disebabkan oleh ketidakmampuan masyarakat menengah bawah dalam memenuhi sumber daya dalam hidupnya. Dari sudut pandang fungsionalis, solusi untuk ketimpangan ekonomi adalah memaksimalkan kembali fungsi elemen masyarakat yang berperan dalam kegiatan ekonomi. sedangkan dari sudut pandang konflik, solusinya adalah para pemilik modal menambah jumlah anggaran dana untuk CSR. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa perspektif fungsionalisme dan konflik mendukung bahwa ketimpangan ekonomi dapat berdampak pada kriminalitas.
