Policy Framework on Personal Growth Initiative : Empirical Evidence in Higher Education

Abstract

Personal Growth Initiative (PGI) is a concept that refers to how an individual actively and intentionally engages in self-development and personal growth. The paper aims to design a policy framework to accelerate PGI in UNNES students. This study employed the qualitative method with both primary and secondary data collection. We used Stakeholder Analysis to construct a policy framework. We found five groups of key and priority stakeholders for accelerating PGI in UNNES students: Academic and Research, Communities, Business Sector, Government (National and Regional), and Media Partners. The Stakeholders that have a high influence are Academic and Research, Communities, and Government institutions. Meanwhile, Business Sector and Media Partners have a medium influence. Each Stakeholder makes an essential program to accelerate PGI in higher education
