Abstract

Culture shock is a phenomenon commonly experienced by individuals when entering new environments and cultures. This study aims to delve into the experiences of non-local lecturers who encountered culture shock while working at the Institut Agama Islam Negeri Kerinci. Employing a qualitative phenomenological approach, this research involved five non-local lecturers as research subjects. Data was collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that non-local lecturers underwent four phases in the cultural adaptation process: honeymoon, rejection, adjustment or negotiation, and mastery. In the honeymoon phase, they tend to be enthusiastic and enjoy new experiences. However, as time passes, they begin to face difficulties in adapting to the different social and cultural environments. The rejection phase is characterized by feelings of frustration and a desire to return to their home environment. In the adjustment or negotiation phase, they start seeking ways to overcome the challenges they face and build better social relationships. Eventually, they reach the mastery phase where they can adapt well and even enjoy life in the new environment
