Makna Konsep Diri Ajudan Milenial Gubernur Jawa Barat

Abstract

Abstract. The Millennial Adjutant for the Governor of West Java is one of the West Java Future Leaders (JFL) programs which only started in 2019 with very high registrant interest, this is certainly driven by different motives and self-meanings. So it is interesting to study the meaning of the millennial aide's self-concept. This study aims to determine the motives, experiences, and meanings of being a millennial aide to the Governor of West Java with qualitative research methods and a phenomenological study approach with a constructivist paradigm. Data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observation and documentation as well as a form of triangulation with phenomenological data analysis. The results showed that there were two motives, namely the because motive (the motive of experience and the motive of "because of the figure"), and in order to motive (the motive of curiosity, the motive of empowered, the motive of self-development and the motive of achievement). The experience of being a millennial aide is divided into work experience (serving, accompanying and publishing). The communication experience took place with the Governor, the Governor's Team and fellow Adjutants. The meaning of a millennial aide, among others, is as "self-pride", an aide, and a leader and a female millennial aide sees herself as an equal person. All self-meanings form a positive self-concept and are also influenced by two factors (other people and reference groups).
