Analisis Karakter Berdasarkan Penilaian Diri Peserta Didik dan Persepsi Guru di SMPN 35 Medan

Character can be defined as an individual's personality, which is shaped by a combination of positive beliefs and values, providing a foundation for perspective, thought, attitude, behavior, and action. This research employs quantitative descriptive data analysis techniques to examine the character of students at SMPN 35 Medan. The data sources for this study were students’ self-assessments and teachers' perceptions. The dimensions under investigation include honesty, responsibility, empathy, social aspects, and self-confidence. The data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and observations involving a sample of 25 students. The results demonstrated that the dimensions of discipline and social aspects exhibited the highest levels of development, with a value of 64%. This was followed by the dimensions of responsibility and empathy, which demonstrated a percentage of 60%. Finally, the dimension of self-confidence exhibited the lowest level of development, with a percentage of 28%. This study recommends the crucial role of teachers in shaping students' character through literacy programs, interactive methods, and educational sanctions.

Research on the Impact of Perceived Corporate Social Responsibility on Organizational Competitiveness

This research explores the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on organizational competitiveness, with a particular focus on the three dimensions of environmental responsibility, economic responsibility, and social responsibility. The study finds a positive correlation between the fulfillment of CSR and organizational competitiveness, with distinct mechanisms of influence for each dimension. In terms of environmental responsibility, companies that comply with environmental regulations, develop environmental policies, and adopt eco-friendly technologies can not only enhance their corporate image but also improve financial performance and meet consumer demands, thereby increasing competitiveness. In the area of economic responsibility, increasing transparency, reducing costs, and improving efficiency strengthen financial capabilities and market image, which in turn enhances competitiveness. Regarding social responsibility, collaboration with society, improved corporate reputation, and increased employee creativity all contribute to a company’s competitive position in the market. Based on a comprehensive review of the literature and empirical research, the paper concludes that the fulfillment of CSR has a positive impact on organizational competitiveness, and this impact varies across different dimensions of responsibility. Companies should emphasize the multidimensional fulfillment of CSR to achieve sustainable competitive advantage.

The relationship between dimensions of corporate social responsibility and consumer’s buying intentions in a cross-cultural context

This study investigates the cross-cultural relationships of corporate social responsibility (CSR) factors, culture dimensions, and consumer’s buying intentions in China and Pakistan. Moreover, this study also reveals the moderating effect of national culture values on these relationships. Data from 239 respondents from each sample group were collected through a questionnaire survey. Structural equation modeling was used to test the hypothesis. The results from the Chinese sample group showed that ethical CSR and philanthropic CSR has a significant impact on buying intention, while economic CSR and legal CSR have an insignificant impact on buying intention. Moreover, data from Pakistan found that legal, ethical and philanthropic CSR have a significant impact, while economic CSR has an insignificant impact on buying intentions of consumers. Significant moderation impact of national cultural values is observed on the relationship of economic CSR and buying intention, however, the insignificant impact of national culture values proved on the relationship of legal, ethical, and philanthropic CSR and buying intention. This study provides substantial insights for the industry that strong improvement and appropriate communication of philanthropic and ethical CSR stimulates the consumers’ motivation to alter their buying intentions and help them to retain loyalty.

The inner struggle: Co‐optation and moral authenticity within social movements scholarship

AbstractThe concept of co‐optation, denoting the appropriation of actors and ideas to support unintended agendas, has been widely employed in social movements studies. Despite its prominence, some scholars argue that the concept introduces ambiguous discussions of authenticity that morally judge activists under categories that are disconnected from their experiences of political participation. Consequently, they choose to separate morality from politics. I propose a meaningful approach to engage with morality and authenticity that contributes to the current understanding of the implications of co‐optation on movements and activists. First, I illustrate that moral concepts and attributions of responsibility are inherent to how activists experience co‐optation. Next, I highlight the limitations of existing theories of authenticity in capturing these moral elements. I then introduce the concept of moral authenticity, which refers to the importance that individuals place on acting in accordance with the type of person they aspire to be. I argue that integrating this notion with co‐optation offers a robust framework for describing and evaluating what authenticity means in the context of movements. This framework offers new insights into the relationship between individuals' personal lives and activism, an emerging field of inquiry in social movement scholarship.

EXPLORING THE ETHICAL ISSUES ABOUT AI IN ART AND DESIGN IN SI CHUAN, CHINA

This study explored the ethical challenges posed by the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology in the field of art and design. With the rapid development of AI technology, it had a profound impact on the art and design industry but had also raised a range of moral and ethical issues including personal privacy, data security, attribution of responsibility, prejudice and discrimination, employment issues, economic inequality, ethical principles and values, disinformation and manipulation. This study aimed to identify and understand the ethical challenges that may be encountered when AI technologies were applied in art and design, including the impacts on attribution of artistic creations, copyrights, cultural diversity, and personal privacy, and to propose solutions and strategies. Through quantitative research on art and design students in Sichuan, China, the results showed that students generally expressed concerns about the ethical risks of AI application in art and design. This study emphasised the need for art and design education to pay attention to the ethical issues posed by AI, and to train students as both technology users and moral guardians, promoting innovation while safeguarding ethics and social responsibility.

Social Beliefs and Attitudes Involved in the Willingness to Intervene in Cases of Intimate Partner Violence Against Women in a Spanish Sample.

Intimate partner violence against women (IPVAW) is a public health and social responsibility issue affecting women worldwide. The role of society is essential to help victims to get out of the violent relationship and reduce their risk of revictimization. In this regard, the social response to IPVAW depends to some extent on public beliefs and attitudes toward IPVAW. Hence, this research explores the direct relationship between sexism and the willingness to intervene in cases of IPVAW, indirectly through acceptance of myths of IPVAW, perceived severity of IPVAW, risk assessed of victims' health and life as well as to the establishment of equal relations, attribution of the responsibility to the aggressor, and victim blaming. A Spanish sample of 487 participants was collected through incidental sampling. Participants responded to an online survey that was disseminated via email and social media. A parallel path analysis model showed that greater sexism was associated with lower willingness to intervene in cases IPVAW, via greater acceptance of the myths of IPVAW and less attribution of responsibility to the aggressor. IPVAW perceived severity, risk assessed, and victim blaming did not explain the effect of sexism on willingness to intervene. This research emphasizes the need to focus on egalitarian education that mitigates sociocultural risk factors such as patriarchal beliefs and attitudes that explain IPVAW and favors a climate of acceptance and tolerance of this problem, making it difficult for victims to break with the violent relationship.

Generating Credibility in Crisis: Will an AI-Scripted Response Be Accepted?

ABSTRACT Increasingly, practitioners are using artificial intelligence (AI) to strategically monitor and respond to crises. However, there is little evidence indicating whether a crisis response, disclosed as AI-scripted, will be accepted by stakeholders and what effects the disclosure may have on message credibility, attribution of responsibility, message acceptance, and organizational reputation. Using Situational Crisis Communication Theory (SCCT), this 2 (type of crisis) x 2 (presence or absence of AI label) online experiment explored how the disclosure of AI-generated content affects post-crisis organizational outcomes. Participants (n = 238) were randomly assigned to a vignette featuring a victim (e.g. shooting) or accidental (e.g. data breach) cluster crisis and a detailed response that either disclosed or did not disclose that the content was AI-generated. Results revealed no effect of disclosure on message credibility or attribution of responsibility. However, message acceptance served as a mediator between message credibility and attribution of responsibility on organizational reputation. This study contributes to SCCT and provides contextual evidence for practitioners who are considering AI for crisis responses. Ethical implications and future directions are discussed.

Changes in Healthcare Professionals' Practice Behaviors Through an Educational Intervention Targeting Weight Bias.

Weight bias is pervasive in healthcare and leads to worse patient outcomes. A uniquely designed 4-h continuing medical education (CME) intervention was assessed for changing healthcare professionals' (HCPs') weight biases and clinical practice behaviors. The intervention used a (1) pre/post design examining CME attendees' self-reported weight bias at baseline, after, and 4- and 12-month follow-up, and (2) post/post design examiningobesity practice behaviors 12months after intervention in attendees and non-attendees. Single medical center service area within Kaiser Permanente Southern California. All HCPs (n = 472) from the target service area were eligible to attend. Analyses were done with 218 HCPs who attended and 89 who did not. The intervention contained theory-based elements of changing attributions of responsibility of obesity, increasing empathy, creating self-awareness of weight bias, and creating a bias-free culture. For pre/post analyses, the primary outcome was self-reported weight bias. For comparative analyses of CME attendees and non-attendees, the outcomes were electronic medical record-confirmed rates of obesity diagnosis and referrals to evidence-based obesity treatments in the 12months following the CME intervention. Self-reported negative obesity stereotypes were significantly reduced compared to baseline while self-reported empathy and confidence in caring for patients with obesity were significantly increased immediately post intervention and were maintained at 4- and 12-month follow-up. After adjusting for years in practice, race/ethnicity, gender, profession type, practice type, and panel size, HCPs who attended the CME intervention had significantly increased odds (range 60-212%) of diagnosis and obesity-related referrals in the 12months following the CME intervention when compared to HCPs who did not attend. This intervention has promise to be a scalable program that goes beyond impacting HCP's self-reported weight bias and also changes HCPs' clinical practice behaviors related to obesity treatment.

Is CSR a solution for crisis? Assessing the impact of three CSR dimensions on SME performance in the Nordic context

PurposeThis study aims to investigate the relationship of corporate social responsibility (CSR) dimensions on the financial and nonfinancial performance of Finnish small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) amidst crises.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data was collected from 204 SME owner-managers in Finland during the COVID-19 pandemic using a purposive sampling technique, focusing on SMEs in South Ostrobothnia representing Finnish SMEs. The study tests the direct and indirect effects of CSR dimensions on both financial and nonfinancial performance during challenging times using linear regression analysis and path analysis with SEM.FindingsThe analysis reveals that CSR systems thinking competence positively affects financial performance but does not significantly impact nonfinancial performance. On the other hand, community social responsibility and socially responsible human resource management positively influence nonfinancial performance and have an indirect effect on financial performance.Originality/valueThis research underscores the beneficial performance outcomes of SME engagement in CSR during challenging times, emphasizing the enduring value of investing in employees. It highlights that despite industry performance affecting financial outcomes, CSR systems thinking competence contributes to financial performance and community social responsibility and socially responsible human resource management maintain a positive association with nonfinancial performance. Furthermore, this study enriches the existing literature on the CSR-SME performance relationship by exploring its effects within the unique context of a Nordic welfare society facing a crisis.

The study suggests conducting more studies in the areas of social responsibility and image.

Exploring the legal making of the European digital economy

Abstract Much existing social commentary and scholarship around the regulation of the European digital economy is focused on how societies could better regulate that economy and its associated harms. Such analyses often portray a problematically viewed order as ungoverned, or not effectively governed, by law. Instead, I argue for more (re)descriptive analyses on how our pre-existing legal structures powerfully create order in the European digital economy. I explain why we should explore the productive connections between pre-existing European legal arrangements and socio-technical order, and discuss what such exploration could entail. The article covers three complementary ways in which legal arrangements are productively connected to sociotechnical order: as tools of ordering to address problems and promote values; as tools that can also enable projects unintended and unforeseen by policymakers; and as constitutive of technologies and other forms of order. It provides concrete examples of these productive connections from various contemporary struggles within the governance of the European digital economy. I argue that focusing on the analysis of productive connections may shed light on how pre-existing legal arrangements are baked into and shaped by the European socio-technical order. As the current order of the European digital economy is characterised by massive inequalities, these analyses can also direct our attention to how our pre-existing legal arrangements can produce and reproduce inequalities and oppression. Analyses of pre-existing legal arrangements might produce different attributions of responsibility and possibilities of contestation than analyses of legal deficiency.

Commercial Plant Nurseries in Kerala, India: A Critical Analysis of Key Success Drivers

This study investigates the factors that are pivotal to the success of commercial plant nurseries in Kerala, with a focus on keydimensions impacting agribusiness performance. The study had been conducted among the plant nursery entrepreneurs in three districts of Kerala i.e. Thiruvananthapuram, Thrissur, and Wayanad. Among the five primary dimensions analyzed for the study, social responsibility emerged as the most significant contributor to success, followed by employment and customer-related dimensions. The findings indicated that most respondents demonstrated moderate to high levels of success, i.e.,61.1%, with fewer falling into the low-performance category. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) identified eight core factors shaping nursery success, which include influence and competence, social capital, financial acumen, achievement motivation, community and asset, self-driven leadership, self independence, and creativity and the total variance explained by PCA is 68%. It was observed that older entrepreneurstended to have limited use of mass media tools, such as the internet and mobile technology, and exhibited lower managerial capacity which undermined their ability to handle operational and employee-related challenges. In summary, social responsibility dimension played a critical role in the success of agribusiness ventures, complemented by strategies focused on employment and customer engagement. The study highlights the importance of entrepreneurial traits and factors such as influence and competence factor, social capital factor, financial acumen factor in the success of commercial plant nurseries, which calls for framing more policies oriented towards formulating& imparting softskill development training programs to nursery entrepreneursinimproving the leadership skills and managerial ability.

Applicants’ Fairness Perception of Human and AI Collaboration in Resume Screening

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used in resume screening for its efficiency and cost-effectiveness. However, researchers have noted concerns about applicants’ perceptions of fairness in AI-based decision-making, suggesting that human intervention remains necessary. Our study examines three human-AI partnerships: human-led, AI-led, and balanced structures, and explores how these human-AI aggregated decision-making structures affect applicants’ perceptions of fairness through the lens of responsibility attribution. In the context of resume screening, our experiment (N = 283) reveals that human-led and balanced structures lead to higher perceptions of fairness than AI-led structures, particularly when the outcome is rejection. Rejected applicants in a balanced human-AI structure tend to attribute less responsibility to the employer and perceive greater fairness than those rejected in an AI-led structure. Our research integrates applicant attribution-reaction theory (AART) into the field of AI management and suggests collaborative roles of humans and AI in managing applicants’ responsibility attributions and fairness perceptions.

Analysis of responsible consumption in relation to gender in students of a higher education institution

To address the effects of the accelerated consumption of goods and services, there is a global push to promote a culture of more responsible and environmentally and socially empathetic consumption. The objective of this study is to identify whether there is a significant relationship between the dimensions of responsible consumption practiced by students from a university in southern Sonora and the gender variable. To evaluate attitudes toward responsible consumption, three dimensions of a measurement instrument were analyzed: individual responsibility, recycling behavior, and ecological behavior. The most significant findings revealed that, in the dimension of individual responsibility, women exhibit high levels of responsibility, while men show a médium level. This pattern aligns with existing literature, which suggests that women tend to adopt more responsible behaviors compared to men

Protecting Children of the TikTok Era: A Discourse Analysis in the Absence of Law

ABSTRACTInsufficient protections from platforms and policymakers have left children vulnerable to the harms of social media, engendering years of lively discussion around who should be held responsible for their continued engagement. Particular concerns have arisen around TikTok, a Chinese owned social media company with a distinct format and appeal toward children. In the absence of overarching governance, the public discourse fueled an understanding of how this platform may be misused. This paper analyzes the public discourse surrounding children's usage of TikTok in the United States between August 2018 and March 2021 (n = 41,731) identifying communicated harms, responsibility attribution, and public attention metrics. Additionally, a qualitative analysis of changes to TikTok's privacy policy (n = 6) revealed parallels between the discourse and actual policy changes. Results underscore that the time during which the digital discourse received (1) high public attention and (2) attributed responsibility to TikTok coincided with significant alterations to TikTok's privacy policy. Implications for platform governance and digital civic engagement research is discussed in light of rapidly changing child privacy law.

Higher Academic Performance, Lower Level of Ethical Responsibility? Analysis of Ethical Responsibility Among Top-Notch Students in Shanghai of China

Purpose Education on the ethics of responsibility is paramount. However, in educational practice, students who perform well academically—often referred to as “top-notch students”—frequently exhibit low levels of ethical responsibility. To explore the validity of this claim, we conducted a survey at a junior high school in Shanghai with a reputation for nurturing top-notch students. Design/Approach/Methods Using the Student Ethics of Responsibility Scale, we compared the levels of ethical responsibility exhibited by top-notch and ordinary students and explored their influencing factors. Findings First, results show that top-notch students outperformed ordinary students across all dimensions of ethical responsibility, particularly in terms of responsibility for the future, collective responsibility, and social responsibility. Second, major influencing factors affecting top-notch students’ levels of collective responsibility and social responsibility were their responsibility for others, their individual responsibility, the levels of collective and social responsibility exhibited by their peers, and parents’ expectations for their children's comprehensive quality. Third, the primary factors influencing students’ responsibility for the future were responsibility for others, individual responsibility, self-education expectation, and their peers’ responsibility for the future. Fourth, gender, grade, and parents’ years of education had minimal impact on the ethical responsibility of top-notch students. Originality/Value The findings of this study refute the stereotype that students who perform better academically have a weaker sense of responsibility.

Responsibility fictionalism

ABSTRACT This paper develops and defends a revisionary fictionalist version of the ‘social connection model’ of responsibility. The social connection model has become a prominent account of responsibility in recent years but, as many critics have noted, has difficulty in providing an account of the connection required to generate responsibility which is sufficiently determinate and generates acceptable outcomes. In light of this problem, I first consider whether a fictionalist interpretation of Iris Marion Young’s articulation of the social connection model is tenable. I show that no such re-interpretation is possible, as it runs against Young’s explicit aims. I then develop a more thoroughly revisionary fictionalist version of the social connection model. I argue that this form of responsibility fictionalism is able to account for the central aims of the social connection model without succumbing to the issues standard versions of the model face in grounding the attributions of responsibility it generates. Furthermore, I argue that attributions of responsibility can retain motivational force on this view.

Healthcare deservingness: how risk factors and income shape responsibility attribution for health outcomes and healthcare costs

Abstract Amidst the global surge in healthcare expenditures, there is a growing political and academic debate about individual versus collective responsibility for health and healthcare costs. This study explores the causal effects of health risks and income cues on citizens’ attribution of responsibility for health outcomes and healthcare costs. An original vignette experiment was conducted among the German population. Those in need of medical treatment who have been exposed to environmental, institutional, or biological health risks are held less responsible for their health outcomes than those exhibiting behavioural health risks. However, the impact of health risks appears to be somewhat weaker in determining who should bear the costs for the medical treatment. Furthermore, higher-income groups are more likely to be blamed for their health outcomes and are considered less deserving of society’s help in paying for medical treatment. These findings enhance our understanding of how the criteria of control and economic need shape public attribution of responsibility in the health(care) domain.
