Teacher performance is the main and very urgent factor that enables the realization of educational and learning goals in the school environment. The realization of teacher performance is due to many factors, including: work stress situations, work environment, workload and interpersonal communication. Therefore, many of these matters require special attention from all parties, so that teachers work in harmony with their work. This research aims to examine and analyze the influence of work stress, work environment, workload and interpersonal communication on the performance of Islamic religious education teachers at high schools in Banten. In conducting research, researchers used an ex post facto type of quantitative approach. The research sample was 64 Islamic religious education teachers at private high schools in Pandeglang Banten, with a random sampling method. In obtaining research data, observation, questionnaires and documents were used. Data analysis was carried out in stages, including: data description, validation testing, reliability testing, analysis requirements testing, as well as simultaneous and partial analysis tests. The research results found: work stress on teacher performance has a positive and significant influence. The work environment on teacher performance has a positive and significant influence. Workload on teacher performance has a positive and significant influence. Interpersonal communication on teacher performance has a positive and significant influence. Likewise, work stress, work environment, workload and interpersonal communication have a positive and significant influence on teacher performance. This means that the lower the work stress and workload, the higher the performance of the Islamic religious education teacher. At the same time, as the work environment and interpersonal communication improve, the performance of Islamic religious education teachers will also increase.

This paper provides an analysis of the most important sustainability indicators for SSCM in construction and gives a detailed overview of what has been scientifically accomplished in the field to date, and identifies areas for further research. The most important sustainability indicators were also grouped and presented in the literature review into the main seven assessment groups of the SSCM construction industry and ranked by experts from Northern Italy and Lithuania in several different ways. Based on the data from the Table 3, it can be inferred that a harmonious work environment among ecological sustainability indicators appeared as the most crucial indicator for respondents. Environmental education was among the most important social indicators. In the legal group, work efficiency emerged as the most significant indicator, while in the physical group, sustainable resource use was crucial. In the political realm, economic and political stability was the most important, and among technological indicators, innovation stood out. Among economic indicators, profit was the most significant sustainability indicator for respondents. A general indicator importance method combined results obtained from expert surveys using various methods. The ranking of sustainability indicators in each group was not included in the calculation of the overall indicator importance, but the results were similar in both cases. The determined importance of indicator values could be adapted for further analysis, specifically for multicriteria evaluation, as per the conceptual model shown in Figure 1. This article provides members of the construction industry with detailed calculations and results of the evaluation of key sustainability indicators related to supply chain groups. This study explores several possible ways to measure the importance of sustainability indicators, which could provide further theoretical insights into SSCM in the construction industry and help develop an accurate sustainability index model.

Enculturation of Ubudiyyah, Mas'uliyyah and Iqtan (UMI) Principles in Conventional Employment Relations

Harmonious working relationship that is built between employee and employer is the critical factor in ensuring success of an organisation. Hence, to uphold the interest of maintaining relationship of work against employer, trade union, employees along with government, multiple theories and models were introduced by previous scholars especially from the western perspective. Various aspects in relation to the system and working environment have been given attention in theory or model development such as economy, social and technology aspect. However, according to related literature research in theories and models that were suggested by past researchers, there has been an oversight on the role of religion in building harmonious work relationship. Whereas the role of religion plays an important role in forming a good identity of employee, employer as well as the government. Failure in highlighting the role of religion has also caused incompetency in work management due to prolonged issues and conflicts of work resulting in various of industrial actions such as pickets and strikes. Most of past theories and models were oriented on profit and work management that have been executed solely to realise the goals of one party which is employer or capitalist, while, the other party, the employee will continue to be oppressed. In other words, implementation of work system that overseeing the role of religion will create injustice and tyranny against employees. Hence, this research aims to analyse the inculturation of Ubudiyyah, Mas’uliyyah and Iqtan (UMI) principles. This research used the approach of al-Quran and al-Hadis content analysis as well as past research related to industry and work relationships. In this research, work relations practice pioneered by western countries will be re-evaluated using the inculturation of Ubudiyyah, Mas’uliyyah and Iqtan (UMI) principles approach. Based on this research analysis, there is a need to make the Ubudiyyah, Mas’uliyyah and Iqtan (UMI) principles as part of conventional work relations practice through enculturation process of all UMI principles in managing employer and employee relations. Work management that emphasises on the three principles will be able to make a better and fair work relation practice to both parties i.e. employer and employee.

Enhancing four-axis machining center accuracy through interactive fusion of spatiotemporal graph convolutional networks and an error-controlled digital twin system

Mitigating thermal errors constitutes a crucial method for enhancing the machining accuracy of four-axis machining centers. At the heart of effective thermal error control lie the thermal error control platform and a resilient thermal error prediction model. It is imperative to note that thermal errors exhibit intricate dynamic and nonlinear spatiotemporal dependencies. However, prevailing thermal error prediction models tend to primarily focus on temporal features or employ simplistic spatiotemporal characteristics, resulting in diminished accuracy and robustness. Furthermore, the present thermal error compensation system is plagued by a lack of user-friendliness, stemming from its suboptimal execution efficiency. In response to the aforementioned challenges, an innovative approach: the interactive fusion spatiotemporal graph convolutional network is proposed. This novel model is specifically designed to capture the intricate dynamic spatiotemporal dependencies inherent in thermal errors. The interactive fusion spatiotemporal graph convolutional network model consists of three essential components: a bilinear temporal convolutional network, a multi-layer spatiotemporal module, and a linear module. These components work in harmony to comprehensively extract both global and local spatiotemporal features. Subsequently, a mapping relationship between thermal errors and compensation components is established, laying the foundation for theoretical advancements in thermal error compensation within the realm of four-axis machining centers. A digital twin system framework tailored for error control is devised, which leverages cloud-edge computing to enable dynamic control and real-time monitoring of thermal errors. To assess the effectiveness of this digital twin system framework and the interactive fusion spatiotemporal graph convolutional network model, a series of rigorous experiments were conducted. The oriented to error-controlled digital twin system coupled with the interactive fusion spatiotemporal graph convolutional network model yielded exceptional machining accuracy, resulting in minimal geometric disparities of [−3.0 μm, 3.0 μm] for the central hole diameter D and [−3.5 μm, 4.0 μm] for the hole distance H.

Modeling and Simulation of Elevation Dynamics of Main Battle Tank Weapon System with Linear Graph Method

The use of main battle tanks in armies goes back many years. The most crucial component is undoubtedly the weapon system. In this study, it is aimed to model the elevation dynamics of the weapon system that provides the movement of the weapon system in the vertical axis. The elevation dynamics consists of three parts: an electric motor, a driver, and a barrel. Both parts are expected to have similar vibration characteristics. The linear graph method was preferred as the modeling method. First of all, the system components and types were determined, and the linear graph, normal tree, and tree links of the system were drawn. Then the state variables, primary and secondary variables, as well as the number of branches, nodes, and sources, were determined, respectively. Elemental, continuity, and compatibility equations were written using the obtained graphs. By organizing these equations, state equations were obtained in standard form and matrix form. With the simulation studies carried out in MATLAB/Simulink, the displacement, velocity, and acceleration responses of the breech and muzzle sections were obtained. It is seen that obtained angular displacement, velocity, and acceleration results for both breech and muzzle sections are almost the same. As a result, the breech and muzzle sections have similar vibration motions and have proven to be able to work in harmony. This result shows that the barrel can be designed from two parts without additional stress and tension, which makes it difficult to focus on the target. By forming the barrel in two parts, the risk of damage can be minimized by better distributing the stress and tension occurring in the barrel during firing.

German-Albanian Intercultural communication and interaction in the workplace

Remote work has brought societies and cultures more together than ever. The workplace has been taken to another level and understanding the cultures and behaviours of different countries has become essential, so that there can be a harmonious working environment. Different ways of conveying the information in the same situation and context but at the same time in two different cultural environments, often lead to inconsistencies or problems in different situations in everyday life. In this thesis, German-Albanian communication and interaction in the workplace is observed from a cultural point of view. Communication in the workspace environment has quite a high influence on the working atmosphere, satisfaction, productivity of the employees or companies worldwide management success. The field of study focuses on the workspace since the reason why many Albanian citizens stay in Germany or have work relations with German companies is the offer of a working contract with higher income possibilities. The purpose of this study is to achieve understanding from both sides of the cultures or even let other cultures understand them both at the same time. Beside the theoretical solution of this problem, an illustrated book with funny and simple illustration has been designed to bring better understanding for the cultural differences independent from their age, gender or intellectual level.

Redox Additive Electrolyte Study of Metal-Organic Framework Derived Nickel Phosphide/Carbon Composite for Supercapacitors

The performance and operation of an energy storage device are significantly influenced by the electrolyte and electrode materials. Therefore, it is crucial to create an electrode material with a rational design and ensure that it is compatible with the electrolyte. In this study, we prepare nickel phosphides/carbon (NP@C) nanostructure from Nickel metal-organic framework (Ni-MOF) using one-step phosphidation technique for supercapacitor applications. This method aims to produce a distinctive structure with more redox-active sites as well as improved conductivity and a high-polarized surface that will speed up ion migration between the electrolyte and the surface. In order to further enhance the redox additive sites and thus the charge transport, we have employed redox additive electrolyte (0.2M K3[Fe(CN)6] in 1M Na2SO4). Using three electrode electrochemical system, NP@C electrode obtained a phenomenal specific capacitance of 2136.3 F/g at 3A/g with a specific capacitance retention rate of 90.6% after 5000 cycles. Furthermore, a symmetric supercapacitor device is assembled using two NP@C electrodes and redox additive electrolyte that renders a high energy density of 52.5 Wh/kg at a power density of 750 W/kg along with a long cycle life of ~93% after 10000 cycles. Hence, this study demonstrates how NP@C and redox additive electrolyte work in perfect harmony to generate a high-performance supercapacitor.

Ethical leadership and TMT decision-making of corporate social responsibility - a perspective of self-determination theory.

This study examines the impact of ethical leadership on top management team (TMT) decision-making regarding corporate social responsibility (CSR), considering the mediating role of TMT passion and the moderating role of performance stress. The study distinguishes between TMT harmonious and obsessive work passion and categorizes CSR as proactive and reactive. The findings reveal the following: (1) Ethical leadership positively influences proactive CSR, with TMT harmonious work passion acting as a positive mediator and TMT obsessive work passion playing a negative mediating role; (2) ethical leadership positively affects reactive CSR, with both TMT harmonious and obsessive work passion serving as positive mediators; (3) performance stress diminishes the impact of ethical leadership on TMT harmonious work passion; however, it amplifies the effect on TMT obsessive work passion. Consequently, the mediating effect of TMT harmonious work passion weakens, while the mediating effect of TMT obsessive work passion strengthens. This study emphasizes the significant role of TMT in CSR strategic decision-making and proposes a novel mediating mechanism through which ethical leadership drives CSR decision-making by considering TMT work passion. These findings reconcile the theoretical-practical conflict and have important theoretical and practical implications for enterprises in fulfilling their social responsibility.

Emotional and spiritual quotient for sustainable education’s service quality

<span lang="EN-US">A sustainable ecosystem of universities needs to show outstanding performance in the areas of employability, institutional social responsibility, and creative and performing arts. Thus, this study determined the influential role of emotional quotient (EQ) and spiritual quotient (SQ) on the lecturers’ excellence service quality (ESQ), which eventually led to effective classroom teaching. The data of 127 respondents were analyzed using the structural equation model with partial least square. The results confirmed that both types of quotients positively influence the lecturers’ teaching progression at the university. EQ and SQ have the encouraging power to motivate the academicians for the best service to the university through a quality learning experience. It can be concise that institutions that practice EQ and SQ values can perform better and blend a harmonious working spirit and tandem with the university’s growth. Support for </span><span lang="EN-US">sustainable development goal</span><span lang="EN-US"> (SDG-4) via EQ and SQ is now required in humanizing education to ensure academicians’ competency and well-being, particularly in the aftermath of the Corona Virus Disease-19 disruption. Policymakers in the university should now capitalize the intelligence through professional initiatives.

Sustainability of Passion for Work? Change-Related Reciprocal Relationships Between Passion and Job Crafting

Although the importance of developing and sustaining passion for work over time has long been underscored, how this can be accomplished has yet to be elaborated and substantiated in the literature. Drawing upon the self-concordance model, we proposed a theoretical model in which harmonious work passion (i.e., passion derived from an autonomous internalization of work into one's identity) may develop and be sustained over time through promoting job crafting behaviors that, in turn, spur greater subsequent passion later on. However, obsessive work passion (i.e., passion emanated from a controlled internalization of work with intra- or interpersonal contingencies attached) is less likely to promote this self-reinforcing cycle. Multivariate latent change score modeling of six-wave longitudinal data over 15 months revealed the hypothesized relationships between harmonious work passion and overall job crafting but not between obsessive work passion and overall job crafting. Furthermore, through bivariate latent change score modeling, we found a change-related reciprocal relationship between harmonious passion and cognitive and task crafting but not with relational crafting. Interestingly, we also observed a change-related reciprocal relationship between obsessive passion and cognitive crafting. This research contributes to the literature on passion and job crafting by demonstrating a self-reinforcing cycle for workplace passion and job crafting over time.

Bridging the mental health gap: unveiling and mitigating the hidden toll of workplace behaviors on diverse populations.

This study investigates the critical issue of mental health disparities within diverse populations in modern workplaces, a concern that significantly affects both individuals and organizational structures. By focusing on how prevailing workplace behaviors, including implicit biases, microaggressions, and the scarcity of diversity in leadership, exacerbate these disparities, the research highlights the urgent need for attention and action in this area. The mental health gap-disparities in conditions and access to care among different workplace groups-emerges from systemic inequalities and stigmatization, deeply influencing employee productivity, creativity, collaboration, and retention. Our research underscores the disproportionate impact of this gap on diverse populations, characterized by varying ethnicity, gender, age, socio-economic status, and other unique identity attributes. The paper articulates the substantial economic repercussions for organizations, manifesting as reduced productivity, increased absenteeism, and higher turnover rates. Recommendations include the implementation of cultural competency training, promotion of inclusive leadership, investment in tailored mental health resources and fostering open dialog about mental health. These strategies are pivotal in creating an inclusive, resilient, and harmonious work environment. Our findings aim to catalyze a shift in organizational practices toward mental well-being, advocating for comprehensive strategies to bridge the mental health divide in workplaces, thereby enhancing overall organizational health and cohesion.

Work conflict: Another trigger to smartphone addiction of individuals with high rumination?

With the widespread use of smartphones, many people spend much time on smartphones for shopping, learning, socializing, and so on, which can affect an individual's mental health and work performance. Especially, individual perceived conflict at work may increase their social anxiety and thus raise the risk of their smartphone addiction. This study collected data from 577 corporate employees in China through convenience sampling to explain the influence mechanism of work conflict on smartphone addiction and to verify the moderating role of rumination. Statistical results show that relationship conflicts, task conflicts, and process conflicts positively affect smartphone addiction by enhancing social anxiety. Moreover, rumination positively moderates the relationship between work conflict and smartphone addiction. People with high rumination are more likely to escape reality due to conflict at work, which further enhances their smartphone addiction behaviors. Our study suggests that a relatively harmonious working atmosphere should be established within organizations, especially for employees with rumination. Work conflict is a predisposing factor for social anxiety and smartphone addiction in individuals with high rumination.

Your work passion travels a long way home: Testing a spillover and crossover model of work passion among dual-earner couples

In this study, we investigate the spillover-crossover effects of two types of work passion (i.e., harmonious and obsessive) for dual-earner couples. Integrating the job demands-resources theory and the spillover-crossover model, we propose that one partner's harmonious work passion indirectly predicts high work engagement and low work burnout for the other partner through positive affect crossover. Similarly, the partner's obsessive work passion indirectly contributes to low work engagement and high work burnout for the other partner through negative stress crossover. We also suggest that perspective taking of the partner strengthens the proposed positive transmissions and mitigates the negative transmissions. We tested the hypotheses by sampling 129 dual-earner couples in the United States at two time points. Results confirmed that one partner's harmonious work passion and obsessive work passion both had indirect effects on the other partner's work burnout and work engagement via the positive crossover of positive affect and the negative crossover of stress, respectively. Our findings also suggested that the partner's perspective taking significantly shaped the spillover-crossover process between harmonious work passion and the partner's work engagement and burnout. We discuss implications for research and practice as well as future research directions.
