Keywords:
The New Cadet Adaptation, Mental Resilience, Cadet TurnoverAbstract
This research aims to study the effect of the new cadet adaptation on cadet turnover and academic achievement as moderated by mental resilience and mediated by subjective well-being. A survey of 308 1st year CRMA Cadet was conducted. The research instruments were psychological scales and average grade. Data analysis was conducted via SPSS. The result indicated that the new cadet adaptation had a direct and positive influence on subjective well-being and academic achievement at 0.5 statistical significance. Mental resilience also had a direct and positive influence on subjective well-being and academic achievement at 0.1 statistical significance. The new cadet adaptation and mental resilience both had a positive influence on subjective well-being, while subjective well-being had a negative influence on the intention to quit at 0.1 statistical significance. in conclusion, maintaining the new cadet adaptation and mental resilience at a high level will enhance subjective well-being and lead to good academic achievement and low intention to quit. However, mental resilience is the strongest predictor to enhance academic achievement, subjective well-being, and the reduction in the turnover rate among cadets.
