The Faculty of Psychology, Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM), in collaboration with TVRI Yogyakarta, once again presents OPSI: Obrolan Psikologi (Psychology Talk) with its fourteenth episode, airing on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, from 3:00–4:00 PM WIB. This episode raises the theme “In Step Together: Building Resilience in the Workplace,” which discusses ways to remain resilient in a work environment filled with demands and pressures.
Appearing as the speaker in this episode is Dr. Sumaryono, M.Si., Psikolog,, a lecturer at the Faculty of Psychology UGM. Sumaryono explains that resilience is the ability to interpret difficult experiences as part of a growth process. One’s perspective on problems, especially the ability to distinguish between what can and cannot be controlled, greatly influences resilience. Life experiences shape an individual’s capacity for self-control. Focusing on self-regulation rather than on others’ behavior helps turn challenges into resources for personal development.
“Performance is related to outcomes, while willingness to perform refers to an individual’s motivation, which includes resilience. Meanwhile, opportunity to perform is largely determined by the organization and the processes available. Resilience itself is not static, but can grow and be strengthened through practice,” said Sumaryono.
