ANALISIS MOTIVASI, LOYALITAS DAN PRODUKTIVITAS KINERJA PEGAWAI YANG MEMPENGARUHI TERHADAP KEPEMIMPINAN KEPALA DESA BRUJUL, KECAMATAN JATEN KABUPATEN KARANGANYAR TAHUN 2021

Leadership is a crucial aspect of management in every organisation or institution. This research assessed an organization's capacity to lead effectively, which will decide whether it succeeds or fails in achieving its objectives. A leader must have the proper influence to lead the members of his organisation in this endeavour. The purpose of this study is to examine how employee motivation, loyalty, and productivity impact the leadership of the Headman of Brujul Village, Jaten Sub-District, Karanganyar District. This type of research is a qualitative case study that describes the interaction data analysis from the withdrawal of all population data utilised as a sample. Interviews, observations, and documents were used to collect data in this study. The outcomes of this study show that the village headman's leadership position has a significant impact on staff motivation, loyalty, and productivity at the Brujul Village Office, Jaten Sub-District, Karanganyar District. The community's interests, in this case the employees', will be served by creating decent working circumstances, which will aid them in carrying out their responsibilities. As a result, employees will be able to make the most of their time and remain loyal to the company. The motivation to attempt as much as possible will emerge, accompanied by a spirit of working under unusual circumstances. If the leader or village headman ensures the health of employees by restricting working hours or reducing extra hours, employees' health can be maintained. Employees who perform efficiently and effectively in line with processes will have a positive impact on job productivity.

Workplace bullying and harassment at sea: A structured literature review

Seafaring is a masculine-coded occupation with a strong professional culture that values practical experience. Traditionally, youths were accepted on board ships to be guided, socialised, and often bullied into the working and living cultures at sea. The maritime industry is characterised by several factors known from research to constitute a hotbed for workplace bullying and harassment, such as sustained high workload, role conflicts, jargon, and precarious work. Women and minority groups are especially exposed to bulling and harassment in these kind of working environments. At policy level, these issues are addressed by the International Safety Management Code and the Maritime Labour Convention, which require employers to identify and prevent occupational safety and health risks. This study analyses the extent and scope of the peer reviewed literature on workplace bulling and harassment at sea, and what recommendations have been proposed in previous research. The results show that workplace bullying and harassment is a substantial problem in the maritime industry. While research in this field is growing, there is a general need for future research based on strong research designs. Given the complete lack of scientific intervention studies, this should be prioritised in future research. Further, there is a need to address underlying causes of workplace bullying and harassment and ensure decent employment and working conditions at sea. Managers ashore as well as officers on board must be provided with adequate resources, usable tools, and sufficient time for a proactive work. This work should be included as part of the safety management system.

Simultaneous Modulation of Interface Reinforcement, Crystallization, Anti-Reflection, and Carrier Transport in Sb Gradient-Doped SnO2 /Sb2 S3 Heterostructure for Efficient Photoelectrochemical Cell.

In this study, an effective quadruple optimization integrated synergistic strategy is designed to fabricate quality Sb gradient-doped SnO2 /Sb2 S3 heterostructure for an efficient photoelectrochemical (PEC) cell. The experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal that i) optical absorption matching is realized by combining the anti-reflection of SnO2 and high light absorption ability of Sb2 S3 in the visible region; ii) interface reinforcement is carried out by coordinating gradient-distributed Sb in SnO2 with S in S-rich precursor of Sb2 S3 for improving the Sb2 S3 crystallization process and matching crystalline lattice of Sb:SnO2 and Sb2 S3 ; iii) ultrahigh electron mobility is achieved by making Sb gradient-doped SnO2 ; iv) carrier separation and transport are accelerated by constructing type-II heterojunction with appropriate energy level alignment and forming a high-speed electron transport channel. All of above-mentioned optimization effects are integrated into a synergistic strategy for constructing the Sb:SnO2 /Sb2 S3 photoanode, achieving a photocurrent density of 2.30 mA cm-2 , hydrogen generation rate of 30.03 µmol cm-2 h-1 , and decent working stability. Notably, this method can also be used in other large-scale fabrication processes, such as drop-casting, spray-coating, blade-coating, printing, slot-die, etc. Moreover, this universal integrated strategy paves an avenue to fabricate efficient photoelectrodes with excellent photoelectrochemical performances.

Ukrainian regulatory policy’s target priorities to ensure decent working conditions in a platform economy

The article explores and reveals the key trends in the system of social and labor relations related to the impact of digitalization and the platform economy. These include individualization, increased competitiveness, lack of personal connections and traditional work teams, one-time, short-term and informal relationships. These trends generate a number of challenges and threats to traditional mechanisms for implementing public policy in the social and labor sphere, which are based – at the core – on the fundamental inconsistency of the institutional framework for the functioning of traditional regulatory mechanisms in the field of labor and employment (which are focused on long-term formal employment and stable labor collectives) and the system of social and labor relations, which is formed by the platform economy (which is characterized by informality, short duration and individualization of social and labor relations that arise). That is, the platform economy does not create those subjects on which the traditional system of implementation of state policy in the social and labor sphere is based. The article reveals the essence of the main problems for the traditional regulatory mechanisms of state policy for the development of social and labor spheres that have emerged in the context of the spread of the platform economy. The main emphasis is on transformational changes in the system of social and labor relations; on the problems and opportunities for the formation of mechanisms for representing the collective interests of platform workers and employers; on the regulatory and legal uncertainty of the status and unregulated activities of labor platforms; on the "erosion" of jurisdiction on transnational labor platforms, etc. The main target priorities for ensuring balanced social and labor development in the conditions of platform economy spreading are substantiated. They are: updating the existing system of contractual and state regulation of the social and labor sphere; implementation of modern systems and mechanisms for representing the collective interests of platform workers and employers; implementation of the National Platform for Social Dialogue and Socially Responsible Partnership; ensuring a comprehensive regulatory framework for platforms, development and implementation of policies of state and contractual regulation for the harmonization of socio-economic, labor, digital, neo-industrial and sustainable development in modern conditions.

Potential for the Development of Productive Activities of the Russian Penal System in the Context of Achieving National Goals Under the Paris Climate Agreement

One of the key tasks of the penal and correctional system is not only to socially isolate convicts and organize acceptable living conditions for them, but also to ensure their adequate resocialization after serving their sentence. The solution of this problem requires new approaches to the conduct of production activities by the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service of Russia. Among others, priority should be given to the areas of traditional economic specialization of the penitentiary system, which include, for example, logging and woodworking. The national contribution of the Russian Federation to the implementation of the goals of the Paris Climate Agreement implies the fullest possible use of the carbon-absorbing capacity of Russian forests. This task is solved, among other things, by a significant increase in the volume of artificial reforestation, which requires the development of a network of tree nurseries throughout the country. The article analyzes in detail the experience of a joint pilot project on forest nursery creation based on one of the institutions of the Federal Penitentiary Service with the participation of business association in the field of forest industry in Krasnoyarsk Krai. It is shown that the project is not only effective, but also has high indicators of economic efficiency, characterized by low payback period under the condition of ensuring decent working conditions for inmates. It emphasizes the importance of scientific and methodological support of the work performed by universities and research institutes, including within the program of creating world-class scientific and educational centers of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation

Sotsialne partnerstvo v rehuliuvanni zainiatosti naselennia

The article reveals the importance of social partnership as a special type of social relations in a market economy, when inevitably arise and exacerbate problems of employment, unemployment, wages, income. It is emphasized that the social partnership plays a special role in regulating employment as the most important component of a socially oriented economy, which ensures the formation and use of labour potential, human capital development and its direct impact on the progressive economy and society. It is noted that social partnership in the field of employment involves the organization of partnership social interaction, ensuring constant dialogue between the parties in the field of labour relations to reach agreement on employment, providing unemployed with jobs, introducing new modern forms of employment, creating decent working conditions based on mutually beneficial agreements and their implementation at the micro, meso and macro levels of management of these processes. It is noted that the restrictions caused by the global spread of coronavirus disease through the introduction of quarantine measures have significantly affected the change in employment in the direction of reducing it, reducing income, living standards and quality of life, the spread of shadow employment without adequate social protection. It is determined that one of the leading problems that needs to be solved is the reform of the social partnership system. Cooperation of social partners on introduction of flexible forms of employment, development of vocational education, strengthening of social protection of workers as a tool for transition of workers to the formal employment sector, empowerment to combine work and family life, etc. will help increase the efficiency of labour market regulation in modern conditions. Implementation of employment policy in modern conditions will be facilitated by the introduction and development of joint social responsibility of partners in the social and labour sphere with a clear definition of various forms of responsibility for non-compliance with the agreements reached.

International legal regulation of remote work as one of the forms of non-standard employment

The article is devoted to the study of telework as one of the forms of non-standard employment. In particular, given the prevalence of remote work as a method of physical distancing to prevent coronavirus infection in the workplace, remote work was considered in the light of international and European standards. It is concluded that the development of national legislation on telework should take into account the provisions of the ILO Conventions “On Home Work” from 1996 № 177, “On Decent Work of Domestic Workers” from 2011 № 189, ILO Recom-mendations “On Home Work” from 1996 4. 184. At the same time, it is important not only to ratify the relevant international legal instruments, but also to adequately reflect in labor law their most important provisions, taking into account the relevant recommendations. It is primarily a matter of ensuring equal labor rights for remote workers compared to traditional workers, as well as protecting them from discrimination. They must be given the opportu-nity to unite in order to protect their interests in trade unions and other organizations, and the right to participate in collective bargaining must be guaranteed. It is proposed to develop an adequate mechanism for monitoring compli-ance with labor legislation during the use of telework.A proposal has been made at the legislative level to implement the provisions of the European Framework Agree-ment on Teleworking, taking into account the peculiarities of the national legal system. In particular, implement the main provisions of the Agreement, which would provide: (1) decent working conditions for remote workers at the expense of the employer (separate room for work, telephone, payment of additional costs); (2) social and legal guarantees of work (leave, clear definition of working hours, advanced training, etc.); (3) compliance with occupa-tional safety requirements (legal liability of the employer for any accident or damage); (4) legislative regulation of the rules, obligations and conditions of concluding a contract with employees of the remote form of employment.

CONDICIONES LABORALES Y VALORACIÓN DE LA RESPONSABILIDAD SOCIAL EN EMPRESAS AGRÍCOLAS DEL MUNICIPIO DE ELOTA, SINALOA, MÉXICO

La responsabilidad social empresarial (RSE) se conceptualiza como un estándar que facilita la atención de problemas de impacto global, entre ellos la mejora de las condiciones laborales, la protección de los derechos de los trabajadores, la no discriminación o la prohibición del trabajo infantil. Estas metas se incluyen también en el objetivo No.8 de la Agenda 2030, dedicado a las condiciones decentes de trabajo y al crecimiento económico. La medición de la RSE desde el punto de vista de los trabajadores agrícolas como grupo de interés se aborda en la literatura de forma escasa. Por lo común el estudio se centra en la imagen percibida de los niveles de responsabilidad de las empresas, por los consumidores finales. El objetivo de este estudio fue medir la percepción de las acciones de responsabilidad social implementadas por las empresas locales, con énfasis en las prácticas laborales y los derechos humanos de la población trabajadora del municipio de Elota, Sinaloa, México; uno de los enclaves agrícolas más importantes del país. Un cuestionario se aplicó a 400 personas y por medio de un análisis multivariante de la información y la prueba F-Snedecor se logró contrastar la hipótesis del reconocimiento que la población trabajadora otorga a las acciones de responsabilidad social de las empresas locales. Un nivel de satisfacción elevado y una imagen social positiva se encontraron, acerca de las prácticas realizadas por las empresas del sector agrícola, en comparación con las de otros sectores y actividades productivas. Los jornaleros agrícolas, que representan el 58.7% de la población encuestada, consideran que las empresas del sector agrícola cumplen mejor con la contratación y prestaciones laborales marcadas por ley, en comparación con los trabajadores que desarrollan otra actividad. En el ámbito de los derechos humanos destaca la percepción positiva de los jornaleros agrícolas respecto a las acciones en torno a la no discriminación y la lucha contra el trabajo infantil.

Legal regulation of working hours and rest periods of seafarers in Ukraine and Finland

The article considers the legal regulation of working hours and rest periods of seafarers under the legislation of Ukraine in the comparative legal aspect with the legislation of Finland. Much attention is given to an analysis of working hours of seafarers, compensation for the overtime work and securance of the right of annual leave and regular periods of rest under the legislation of Ukraine and Finland, as well as conformity of Ukrainian labour legislation and social rights of seafarers with the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC, 2006), and with the legislation of Finland. Ukraine hasn’t ratified any of the International Labour Organisation Conventions relating to working time and periods of rest of seafarers, and these issues are governed by the Regulation «On working hours and periods of rest of floating sea and river transport of Ukraine» (approved by Order of the Ministry of Infrastructure of Ukraine № 135 from 29.02.2012). Finland’s trade unions play an important role in working life of seafarers, by not only protecting their rights and providing decent working conditions, but also by deviations from certain provision of the Seamen’s Working Time Act (296/1976). Those deviations can concern reduction of duration of working hours, increase of payments for overtime work, providing additional rest time, etc. It is concluded that the labor legislation of Ukraine does not contain provisions on imposing sanctions on captain or shipowner in case of violation of seafarer’s right of normal working hours, annual leave and regular periods of rest, while in Finland, captain or shipowner can be prosecuted for improper or malicious violation of the procedure of the register of working hours, rest periods, compensation payments and annual leaves. Also Ukrainian legislation provide no legal mechanism for obtaining state and social guarantees by seafarers. The article suggests changes to national legislation by passing the law regarding seafarers labour rights and ratification of the Maritime Labour Convention (MLC, 2006).

Enhancement of the professional competence of specialists who form an accumulative pension system based on social responsibility

The purpose of the study is to determine the areas of increasing the social responsibility of the private pension funds (NPF) based on the growth of professional competence of specialists in the formation of the system of funded pension provision through the risk-based government regulation and supervision. The article proposes an improved definition of the social responsibility of the subjects of the accumulative pension system and determines the qualitative indicators of their social responsibility. An analysis of the work experience of pension funds in Thailand, Brazil, the United States, Norway and the South Africa allows us to conclude that the main areas of increasing social responsibility are to ensure decent and safe working conditions, environmental safety, absence of corruption and violation of the ethical and legal norms. It is proved that the subjects of the accumulative pension system should act on the basis of corporate governance and be guided by the OECD principles of corporate governance. According to the best foreign practices, improving the competence of pension fund employees is one of the main areas of the social responsibility. To determine the directions of increasing the social responsibility of the subjects of the accumulative pension system, an expert survey was conducted. Based on the results of the study, it is substantiated that the main direction is to increase the professional competence of specialists in the formation of a funded pension system based on risk-oriented state regulation and supervision.

The Urgency of Legal Literacy for Indonesian Migrant Workers through Distance Education

Protection for migrant workers requires intervention throughout the migration cycle. Moreover, it raises awareness about safe migration before departure, ensuring effective migration policies and mechanisms, ensuring fair recruitment practices, decent working conditions in destination countries, and economic empowerment and reintegration to the home community for retired Indonesian Migrant Workers. However, illegal hiring practices can leave workers trapped in debt-bound situations to go abroad. Often workers are not appropriately trained and do not understand their rights, so they are easily exploited. So the problem arises in this study how to fulfil the legal protection of Indonesian migrant workers? And how can legal literacy improve the protection of Indonesian migrant workers? The study results show that Indonesian migrant workers need state intervention to protect the stage before work, during work, and after work but also need to equip themselves with qualified legal insight. The qualified legal insight will increase the capacity of Indonesian migrant workers and will enable them to face every problem they face. Legal literacy is an urgent matter to be "familiarized" with Indonesian migrant workers. Legal literacy will build awareness of Indonesian migrant workers in understanding various legal aspects, especially those related to the activities of Indonesian migrant workers. Distance education can be a way to improve the legal literacy of Indonesian migrant workers.

Впровадження принципів соціальної відповідальності в аграрному бізнесі

Abstract. Introduction. The current stage of functioning of the world economic system is characterized by the desire to ensure sustainable development, the essence of which lies in the unity of economic, social and environmental components. The most important tool for its implementation at the level of enterprises, companies, firms is the concept of corporate social responsibility. Purpose. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the essence and analyze the main directions of introducing social responsibility of the domestic agricultural business, as well as the system of objective and subjective factors that influence it. Results. The features of the implementation of the social responsibility system in the domestic agricultural business as an important component of the further development of agricultural production have been investigated. The necessity of activating the social orientation of the agricultural business in connection with the insufficient development of the social sphere of the village and the presence of significant social problems in rural areas has been determined. The essence of social responsibility of business as a voluntary contribution of entrepreneurial structures in solving problems of social, economic and environmental spheres, which is carried out outside the regulatory requirements, has been substantiated. The need to implement an effective management system using modern innovative tools has been pointed out. It has been proven that most agricultural enterprises focus their activities on ensuring decent working conditions for personnel, cooperation with local communities, and solving environmental problems. The directions of implementation of social responsibility of agricultural companies in Ukraine have been shown. The structure and volumes of social investment of the leading agricultural holdings have been characterized. New ways of doing agribusiness and promising areas of social responsibility in the internal and external environment have been formulated. Conclusions. Expanding the scale and improving the mechanisms of social responsibility, increasing the level of motivation and interest of agribusiness to improve the quality of life of rural residents and the development of rural areas will contribute to the intensification of production and social infrastructure. Ultimately, all this will reveal a significant positive impact on the socio-economic development of the regions and the country as a whole.

ON THE QUESTION OF THE DISCOURSE ON ENSURING DECENT WORK IN THE DIMENSION OF THE MODERN DOCTRINE OF LABOR LAW OF UKRAINE

The article examines the problems of implementation and legal support of decent work in the dimension of modern doctrine of labor law. The author substantiates the need to continue the study of decent work in Ukraine in historical and praxeological discourses in order to identify patterns and trends, existing and potential needs for further development of decent work in Ukraine and in the world. The purpose of the study is to highlight the stages of implementation and legal support of the concept of decent work in Ukraine, identify doctrinal and legislative problems in ensuring decent working conditions under the influence of globalization and develop proposals to improve the legal mechanism for ensuring these working conditions in the light of the ILO’s Decent Work Agenda for Ukraine. The article argues that the coverage of the five stages of implementation and legal support of the concept of decent work in Ukraine through the implementation of several ILO’s Decent Work Agendas for Ukraine starting from 2006 to the present, allows to explore in historical and theoretical-praxeological discourse step-by-step institutionalization of the concept of decent work in the science of labor law. Analysis of a large array of legislation on employment, vocational education and training, wages, non-discrimination, occupational safety, social protection and social dialogue, special literature in the field of decent work revealed several problems of doctrinal and legislative nature in ensuring decent working conditions (Permanent recoding of labor law does not allow for new priorities and tasks for labor law in the light of the idea of decent work, frequent change of government does not allow either to start large-scale reforms (concerning the pay system, vocational education and training) or to complete them effectively in the field of employment, labor protection management systems, etc.) Promising areas of further research on the issue of decent work in the dimension of the modern doctrine of labor law of Ukraine are to improve the legal regulation of decent work on the basis of modern methods of discourse analysis.

The Impact of COVID-19 in Social Sustainability

The idea of UN Sustainable Development Goals that no one is left behind is gaining higher importance, especially during the pandemic. Despite social sustainability is a complex topic due to the absence of a clear definition and its subjectivity. It relates with existing social problems, where the COVID-19 pandemic has also increased these problems in the food value chain: poor decent working conditions, lack of occupational health and safety at the workplace, forced labor, and intensive hours of work, among others. As half of the world’s workforce is involved in the food industry, the better understanding of its associated value chains in times of pandemic can contribute to improve social sustainable practices. With this aim the current paper identifies and analyzes current challenges and problems linked to social sustainability in times of COVID-19, identifying key actors and potential solutions and recommendations. The research adopts a qualitative and exploratory method applied through the Grounded Theory analysis combining desk research with inputs from a multi-stakeholder consultation of 35 fishery experts from all over the world. The paper provides new insights and shared experiences about social sustainability in the fish value chain to overcome the crisis times we are living in.

A rapid scoping review of COVID-19 and vulnerable workers: Intersecting occupational and public health issues.

BackgroundThis article reports the results of a rapid scoping review of the literature on COVID‐19 transmission risk to workers in essential sectors such as retail, health care, manufacturing, and agriculture, and more particularly the experiences of workers in precarious employment and social situations.MethodsFollowing scoping review methods, we included 30 studies that varied in terms of methodology and theoretical approaches. The search included peer‐reviewed articles and grey literature published between March and September 2020.ResultsBased on the studies reviewed, we found that COVID‐19 infection and death rates increased not only with age and comorbidities, but also with discrimination and structural inequities based on racism and sexism. Racial and ethnic minority workers, including migrant workers, are concentrated in high‐risk occupations and this concentration is correlated to lower socioeconomic conditions. The COVID‐19 pandemic appears in the occupational health and safety spotlight as an exacerbator of already existing socioeconomic inequalities and social inequalities in health, especially in light of the intersection of issues related to racism, ethnic minority status, and sexism.ConclusionsThis review provides early evidence about the limitations of institutions' responses to the pandemic, and their capacity to provide a safe and decent working environment for all workers, regardless of their employment status or the social protections they may enjoy under normal circumstances. It is also important to think about these issues in the postpandemic context, when conditions of precariousness and vulnerability persist and possibly worsen.

Religion and Workers’ Associations for Decent Work in Spain

This paper analyzes the role of Catholic religious organizations and worker groups in their commitment to achieve the promotion of decent working conditions. Methodologically, critical discourse analysis (CDA) and the valuation of social anthropology applied to social and political regulations are used. The results show that defending decent work means putting people at the heart of matters and considering work a fundamental right for the dignity of human life. Conclusions show that actions such as guaranteeing workers’ rights, extending social protections, and promoting social dialogue are seen as essential in achieving the aim of decent work.

The Problem is not Covid‐19, it's the Model! Industrial Agriculture and Migrant Farm Labour in the EU

SummaryThe Covid‐19 crisis has shed light on two structural problems that affect a large part of the European model of industrial fruit and vegetable production, mainly in Spain and Italy: excessive dependence on foreign labour and the appalling social and working conditions of these migrant workers. Despite the current intense debates that have arisen on this topic, this is not a new issue but a chronic problem, which has characterised much of the agricultural production in the EU for over two decades. In order to understand how and why this point has been reached, a historical review of the evolution of the primary sector, mainly in southern Europe, and its link to migration, is carried out to ascertain whether the pandemic has aggravated the terrible consequences, mainly for migrant workers, of a socially unsustainable model. The aim is to lay the foundations for a debate on the direction in which European agriculture is heading, and which contributions, such as reforming the CAP and conditioning its funds to decent working conditions can be made towards building a fairer and more sustainable model over time.

Analysis of legal principles of life safety

This study discusses the legal framework for life safety in Ukraine as of the current year. Ensuring an adequate level of safety at the enterprises of various forms of ownership and directions of the modern economy is a vital task in terms of creating decent working conditions in the country and the development of its economy. The development of the sovereign Ukraine must be accompanied by the creation of a safe state of the environment, economic production, and living conditions to ensure the proper level of human life. The main place in this process is occupied by the legislation in the field of regulation of relations between human health and the environment and safety in emergencies and situations of everyday life, i.e. life safety. The relevance of the subject is conditioned by the need to create an appropriate legal framework for life safety in the country as of its current state. The methodology of this study is based on a combination of a systematic approach to determining the main factors that ensure the establishment of legal foundations for life safety in Ukraine at present and an analytical method of research on a wide scope of issues in this subject area. The main results, obtained during this study, include the identification of the main factors of life safety in modern Ukrainian society and the importance of the legal framework, developed by the state for proper regulation of these issues, as well as the main directions of development of a certain level of life safety culture in modern Ukrainian society. Prospects for further research within the framework of the chosen subject area are conditioned by the need to qualitatively identify the main factors, influencing the process of gradual development of the legal framework for life safety in Ukraine as of its current state and the importance of timely coverage of relevant legal aspects that are vital in modern realities. The applied value of this study lies in the possibility of implementing its main results and conclusions in practice in order to obtain a reliable tool for timely and high-quality determination of the basic legal principles of life safety in Ukraine
