Abstract

This study aims to explore the internalization of Bushido values as a foundation for strengthening the character of STIPRAM students in the first and second semesters of the 2025/2026 academic year, in facing academic challenges and preparing for an international internship in Japan. In the era of globalization, students often face transitional obstacles such as procrastination, academic stress, and a crisis of integrity. Using a qualitative case study design approach, primary data was collected through in-depth interviews and passive participant observation to capture the manifestations of student behavior based on Inazo Nitobe's eight pillars of Bushido. The results show that the seven basic principles (Gi to Chugi) form a moral framework for academic honesty and dedication, while the principle of Jisei (self-control) is crucial for time management and mental resilience. Although the era of the samurai has ended, the philosophy of Bushido remains relevant as a "starlight" that illuminates the path of students' professionalism. This study concludes that adapting the Japanese work ethic through Bushido values can increase the competitiveness and maturity of STIPRAM students in navigating the dynamics of a competitive global workplace.

Notes for Usage of Generative AI in Scientific Writing

The following guidance refers only to the writing process, and not to the use of AI tools to analyse and draw insights from data as part of the research process:

Generative AI and AI-assisted technologies should only be used in the writing process to improve the readability and language of the manuscript.
The technology must be applied with human oversight and control and authors should carefully review and edit the result, as AI can generate authoritative-sounding output that can be incorrect, incomplete or biased.
Authors are ultimately responsible and accountable for the contents of the work.
Authors must not list or cite AI and AI-assisted technologies as an author or co-author on the manuscript since authorship implies responsibilities and tasks that can only be attributed to and performed by humans.
The use of generative AI and AI-assisted technologies in scientific writing must be declared by adding a statement at the end of the manuscript when the paper is first submitted.
We do not permit the use of Generative AI or AI-assisted tools to create or alter images in submitted manuscripts.
The use of generative AI or AI-assisted tools in the production of artwork such as for graphical abstracts is not permitted. The use of generative AI in the production of cover art may in some cases be allowed, if the author obtains prior permission from the journal editor and publisher, can demonstrate that all necessary rights have been cleared for the use of the relevant material, and ensures that there is correct content attribution.
