Moral Resilience Education For Indonesian Migrant Workers

Abstract

Indonesian migrant workers face many moral pressures as they carry out their duties in their workplaces, such as getting salaries that are not as promised, discrimination, acts of violence from employers, trafficking, fraud, withholding passports or other important documents, harassment, working hours that violate work agreements, and so on. This moral distress can lead to physical, psychological and spiritual turmoil for workers, impacting the quality of their work, as well as having a wider impact on stakeholders. It can constitute severe suffering when they are inhibited from exercising their integrity. To be able to face and overcome these moral pressures, they must have strong moral resilience. They need to get support from various stakeholders, especially from educational institutions that function to provide moral education. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explain moral resilience education for Indonesian migrant workers. The research method used is a qualitative method by conducting a literature study. The result of this research is that Indonesian migrant workers must receive moral resilience education from educational institutions as a form of strengthening and protection to them.
