Dampak Kepribadian Narsistik terhadap quality of work life dalam Era Hybrid Working

Hybrid working is the work model chosen by many companies. In practice, changing your work style to a hybrid can affect the quality of work life. Quality of work life is an employee's perception which includes aspects of job and career satisfaction, general well-being, distance from homework, stress at work, control at work, working conditions. On the other hand, employee personality is a kind of diversity in the workplace. One of the personalities in the workplace is the personality of narcissism. Narcissism is part of the dark triad personality. Narcissism is demonstrated by behavior of self-admiration, domination, and superiority. The aim of this research is to explain the role of narcissistic personality in the quality of work life of employees who work in a hybrid manner. The participants were 217 hybrid working employees who filled out the Quality of work life and Short Dark Triad Personality scale instruments. The participants consisted of government agency employees, male and female, private employees, government agencies and start-ups, ranging in age from 20 to 55, with D3 to S3 educational backgrounds. Participants were selected using a purposive sampling method. The research results show that narcissistic personality plays a role in the quality of work life (b=0.055; p<0.001). Companies need to manage narcissistic traits through personnel management to improve the quality of work life in a hybrid work environment.

Segmentation of Mentoring Customer Characteristics Using the K-Means Method and Hierarchical Clustering for Customer Relationship Management (CRM)

In the next 10-20 years, it is expected that Indonesia will enter a demographic bonus era, where the population of productive age exceeds that of non-productive age. This presents an opportunity for startups in the field of education to prepare better human resources in Indonesia. With the recent Covid-19 pandemic, the government has implemented regulations that require online teaching and learning. Startups, such as Outstanding Youth Indonesia (OYI), play a role in bridging distance learning, leading to increased competition in the education sector. To stay competitive, OYI is implementing a customer relationship management (CRM) strategy, using consumer characteristic segmentation through the K-means method and hierarchical clustering. The study aims to test the consumer characteristic cluster results and provide CRM recommendations based on the segmentation results. The results of the study revealed that the K-Means method was more optimal, with a score of 0.657, compared to hierarchical clustering of 0.644. The clusters tested included categories, intended education, and types of scholarships. Three clusters were produced: cluster 1, dominated by high school/vocational high school students; cluster 2, mostly university students; and cluster 3, dominated by employees of government agencies. Cluster one had the largest silhouette coefficient. Based on the clustering, a strategy was generated for each cluster to improve CRM in OYI.

Global concerns related to water biology and security: The need for language and policies that safeguard living resources versus those that dilute scientific knowledge

Increasingly, scientists and non-scientists, especially employees of government agencies, tend to use weak or equivocal language when making statements related to science policy and governmental regulation. We use recent publications to provide examples of vague language versus examples of strong language when authors write about regulating anthropogenic pressures on natural resources. Lifeless language is common in agency reports, policy documents, and even scientific papers published by academics. Such language limits success in regulating anthropogenic pressures on natural resources. This challenge must be recognized and countered as a driver of the condition of water and associated resources. We also list sources of vague wording, provide global examples of how ambiguous language and political influences have contributed to water resource degradation, discuss the recent history of science censorship, and offer possible solutions for more direct scientific discourse. We found that: (1) equivocal language was especially common in concluding statements and not only by government employees; (2) authors discussed confusing language concerns in an agency publication; and (3) agency employees sometimes used active, strong language. Key drivers of weak language include: (1) holding on to old paradigms and resisting new knowledge; (2) scientific uncertainty; (3) institutional manuscript review policies; (4) employment and funding insecurity; and (5) avoiding the appearance of advocacy. Examples associated with euphemistic language included climate change, flow and physical habitat alteration, dams, agriculture, mining, forestry, and fisheries, as well as resistance towards monitoring, assessing, and reporting ecological conditions. Suggestions for mitigating equivocal language involve employment protections and greater focus on scientific ethics. We conclude that natural resource scientists should resist calls to employ imprecise language. Instead, they should be strong advocates for prescriptive and protective natural resource actions—based on their science—to halt and reverse the systemic degradation of those resources.

Analisis Pengaruh Mata Kuliah Kewirausahaan dan Motivasi Kewirausahaan Terhadap Minat Untuk Menjadi Pengusaha Muda Islami (Young Entrepreneur)

A college or university is an institution that develops its graduates into smart, creative, and independent individuals with quality soft and hard skills. Universities must be able to produce students who are adventurous and entrepreneurial. Students' low interest in entrepreneurship stems from their belief that being an employee is better than being an entrepreneur. Similarly, students are more willing to seek information about job vacancies and are ready to follow the selection process for new employees in government agencies and private companies, rather than preparing themselves to create jobs and work through entrepreneurship. With the growth and development of entrepreneurship science, it will increase the enthusiasm of the Indonesian people, especially the younger generation or students to participate in entrepreneurship and create jobs, not just as job seekers. Entrepreneurship is a major issue in developing countries. The progress or decline of a country's economy is highly dependent on the existence and role of the entrepreneurial group.

The Influence of Pull Factors on Inter-organisational Labour Mobility in the Public Sector: The Moderating Role of Transformational Leadership

This study assesses how pull factors affect inter-organisational labour mobility, including the role of transformational leadership as a moderator. With the aid of SmartPLS3.2.7, quantitative data from a survey of 333 employees of government agencies were analysed using Partial least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The results revealed that both compensation and training and development positively influence inter-organisational labour mobility. Furthermore, results indicated a significant moderating effect of transformational leadership on the influence of compensation on inter-organisational labour mobility, and that transformational leadership moderates the influence of training and development on inter-organisational labour mobility. Consistent with Social Exchange Theory and Herzberg’s Two Factor Theory, the results have revealed the relevance of pull factors in explaining inter-organisational labour mobility. Furthermore, the research has provided human resource managers, all managerial personnel and policymakers with insights into the interaction effect between pull factors and transformational leadership on inter-organisational labour mobility to enhance employee retention. The results suggest that organisations should establish transformational leadership training programs, so as to equip all managerial personnel with the vital employees retention skills. The study has theoretically verified that under the influence of the Social Exchange Theory, transformational leadership can interact with pull variables and diminish their effects on inter-organisational labour mobility in the Tanzanian setting, thus adding new knowledge to the current labour mobility model. The limitations of this study form avenues for further research. For instance, considering the interaction effect of pull and push factors and transformational leadership on inter-organisational labour mobility may generate additional insights.

The relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention among temporary employees in the local government: Mediating role of perceived insider status and moderating role of gender.

The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships between organizational commitment and turnover intention, and to test the mediating effect of perceived insider status, and moderating effect of gender on that relationship. Data were collected using a questionnaire survey method from 820 temporary employees of government agencies working in China. The data obtained were analyzed according to the moderated mediation. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that perceived insider status has a partial mediation effect on the relationship between organizational commitment and turnover intention. Also, the results supported the moderated mediation and showed that the indirect effect of organizational commitment and turnover intention through perceived insider status was weaker for males than females. Then, the theoretical and practical implications of the findings are discussed.

Problems of appointment of handwritten examination in civil judiciary

The article is devoted to the issue of this type of evidence as providing an expert opinion in civil proceedings on the example of handwriting examination, because it is one of the most common types of forensic examination. It is known that the objects of handwriting are all possible types of documents, where the text is handwritten or signed by a person. The article deals with the tasks of forensic handwriting examination and their purpose. The current problems of appointment of handwriting examination by the court, which arise, in particular, when taking handwriting samples, are considered. The sources from which the expert obtains information to provide an opinion are analyzed, as it is not only samples of handwriting or signature, but also information about the person to be identified. It is considered how the court determines the scope of examination, formulates questions and collects free samples of handwriting and signatures, which are compared, as well as selects experimental samples. There is a ban on forensic experts who are employees of government agencies to conduct handwriting examinations on copies of documents. The article argues that it is possible to conduct handwriting examination of copies of documents, especially if it is physically impossible to provide the original document, provided that the court will take this fact into account. Since the expert does not have the right to collect materials for the examination, the expert is provided by the court or the party to the case. It is investigated that the legislation does not clearly regulate who exactly and how should take experimental samples of handwriting or signature, as it is prescribed in the scientific and methodological recommendations for the preparation and appointment of forensic examinations and expert research. In this regard, it is proposed to recommend that courts involve a handwriting specialist in the procedure for taking a sufficient number of experimental samples for examination.

Environmental behavior practice in government agencies: Evidence from Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

Environmental behavior (EB) is a kind of organizational behavior that seeks to protect the natural environment and conserve resources, such as saving energy, recycling wastes, duplex printing, reducing water use, non-smoking in the workplace, and designing environmentally friendly products. This study aims to identify the degree of environmental behavior practice and examine its constraints in Saudi government agencies. This study is based on a single design of cross-sectional research. 436 responses were collected from employees of government agencies in Saudi Arabia. The study results indicated that the EB practice is generally high in government agencies.Furthermore, the results revealed that female employees in government agencies have no statistical difference from male employees. In other words, the EB practice of men and women in government agencies is equal. The study also found a significant difference between married, unmarried, and divorced groups. Divorced employees report a higher level of EB than other employee groups. However, the study indicated a significant difference between the high school, graduate, and postgraduate groups. In other words, employees with high school education have a higher level of EB. Receiving and not receiving leadership support have a significant difference, whereas employees who received environmental training reported higher levels of EB than others. The outcomes also indicated a difference between the group of employees who have religious values. The outcomes of this study may be of benefit to researchers, regulators, policymakers, managers, and governors.

ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT OF STATE MANAGEMENT OF INVESTMENT PROJECTS

Current trends in social and economic development in Ukraine, which are characterized by an increase in interest in boosting investment revenues, have made it necessary to search for new approaches to organizational support of state management of investment projects. This problem emerged due to the fact that the post-war restoration of territories requires a holistic theory of the formation, management and development of investment activities at various levels (state, regional), which is currently absent. The difficulty of solving this problem largely lies in the limited opportunities for domestic government savings, the inability of investors to compensate for the lack of investment in the real sector of the economy due to the low profitability of enterprises and a high degree of risks. Based on this, the purpose of the study is to develop organizational support of state management of investment projects. Scientific works of domestic and foreign authors, separate regulatory provisions and instructions served as the theoretical basis for this paper. The generalization of different scientific points of view regarding the organizational support of state management of investment projects allowed the author to come to the conclusion that there is no single point of view regarding the interpretation of this category, which is why the author's interpretation is proposed. The detailed concept expands the existing scientific basis taking into account current trends and allows accomodating the interests of all participants in the investment process. Based on the principles of monitoring, an architecture of organizational support of state managment of investment projects has been developed, which includes information, analytical and communication components, making it possible to form a comprehensive system for monitoring changes. The expediency of using the Microsoft Project investment project management applied software package, the advantage of which is its relative ease of use, availability, and ability to correct resource deviations, is substantiated. Theoretical research was practically tested in the framework of teaching the discipline "State mechanisms for managing investment programs and projects". The practical value of the results obtained lies in the fact that they are the basis for making managerial decisions in the development of national and regional projects and programs for investment and social and economic development of regions. The material can be useful for scientists, employees of government agencies, industry associations, university teachers, postgraduates and students

Fusion of horizons: Realizing a meaningful understanding in qualitative research

This paper explores a case example of qualitative research that applied productive hermeneutics and the central concept, fusion of horizons. Interpretation of meaning is a fusing of the researchers’ and subjects’ perspectives and serves to expand understanding. The purpose is to illustrate an exemplar of qualitative research without establishing a rigid recipe of methodology. The illustration is based on in-depth observational and textual data from an applied anthropological study conducted in western Alaska with Yup’ik hunters and fishers and government agency employees as they worked towards collaborative management. The metaphor of the hermeneutical circle is showcased to help the reader understand the philosophical underpinnings and the analytical processes used to realize a meaningful interpretation. A series of organizing systems for the interpretation is described, culminating in a final organizing system to communicate a fully realized understanding of collaborative management at the time.

Factors Affecting Performance of Open Government Data Initiatives: A Multi-Method Approach Using Sem and FSQCA

ABSTRACT Recent interest and development in open government data (OGD) has led government agencies of many countries to introduce OGD initiatives. While the performance of OGD initiatives (POI) in some agencies has been impressive, for others it has been less so. To understand the underlying factors that influence OGD initiatives and drawing on the technology-organization-environment (TOE) framework, we propose a model that incorporates seven context-specific TOE variables. The model was tested with two complementary methods applied to responses in 198 surveys completed by Australian government agency employees. In the first stage, structural equation modeling detected that quality of data, management leadership, skilled operational professionals, political commitment, and external pressure significantly contribute to POI. However, the concept of the TOE framework fundamentally implies a joint effect, suggesting a configuration rather than independent effect of TOE variables. Therefore, in the second stage, we investigated the model using fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA), which is new to information systems research and appropriate for configuration analyses. The fsQCA results suggested complex configurational trade-off effects among the variables. Specifically, quality of data and metadata, management leadership, skilled operational professionals, and political commitment were found to drive POI. Inhibitors of POI included lack of skilled staff, lack of technology infrastructure, lack of political commitment, and external pressure. Our findings contribute to the information systems literature and managerial practice by providing strategic insight to improve OGD initiatives.
