Understanding of Job Insecurity, Quality of Work Environment, and its Implications for Employee Turnover Intention: A Study of Indonesian State-Owned Companies (SOEs) in the Field of Electronics for Facilities and Infrastructure

The phenomenon of employee turnover is triggered by high turnover intention in employees caused by internal or external factors. This study aims to determine how job insecurity and work environment can contribute to the phenomenon of turnover intention in Indonesia State-Owned Companies (SOE’s) in the field of electronics for industry and infrastructure. By using descriptive causality analysis and quantitative approach. Data from 250 samples were collected through questionnaires and tested with multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS version 29 software to determine the magnitude of variable contributions. The results showed that job insecurity partially influenced turnover intention positively but insignificantly, while workers' surrounding conditions significantly influenced turnover intention negatively. The influence of job insecurity and work environment together affect 8.1% of employee turnover intention in the state-owned company.

Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention: The Moderation Role of Financial Compensation

In managing Human Resources in a company, a leader must be able to handle the phenomenon of turnover intention. Turnover intention is a problem that arises in an organization involving the desire to leave employees. The turnover intention that occurs indicates low employee loyalty and a weak managerial system in the company. This research aims to examine the influence of job satisfaction variables on the turnover intention phenomenon and examine the role of financial compensation variables in moderating the influence of job satisfaction variables on the turnover intention phenomenon. The type of research used in this research is explanatory research. Sampling in this research was carried out using a purposive sampling technique or non-random sampling technique. The sample in this study involved 90 employees at PT. HM Sampoerna Semarang, all of which met the criteria to be used as samples. The data source in this research is primary data in the form of a questionnaire. The type of data in this research is cross section. In the research, it was found that the job satisfaction of each employee is relatively high, one of the factors that triggers turnover intention in this company is job satisfaction. The research results show that there is an influence between job satisfaction variables on turnover intention, and financial compensation cannot be a moderating variable or a supporting factor in the influence of job satisfaction on turnover intention at PT. HM Sampoerna Semarang.

Tuntutan Pekerjaan, Intensi Keluar Kerja, dan Peran Burnout sebagai Mediator

The Covid-19 pandemic is a very critical period and has become an epidemic that has spread throughout the world, thus affecting all aspects of people's lives in the world. The increasing demand related to information technology automation since the Covid-19 pandemic has been followed by increasing job demands for employees in the information technology industry. In line with increasing job demands, the phenomenon of burnout and turnover intention is faced by company X. High job demands can cause fatigue and can influence employees to leave the organization or company. There is a relationship between job demands and turnover intention, but this relationship is not strong (weak) so a burnout mediator role is needed. The purpose of this research is to look at the role of burnout as a mediator in the relationship between job demands and turnover intention. Turnover intention is a deliberate action with full awareness to leave the organization. Job demands are the physical, psychological, social and organizational aspects related to work that are needed to support both physical and psychological demands that are associated with physical and psychological harm. Burnout is a symptom of emotional exhaustion and a negative view (cynicism) of what one does. The number of samples in this study was 71 people. The sampling technique is non-probability sampling with convenience sampling. Measuring the variable of turnover intention uses a measuring tool, measuring burnout using the burnout assessment tool, measuring job demands using the job demands-resources questionnaire. The results of this research are that there is a relationship between job demands and burnout. There is a role of burnout as a mediator in the relationship between job demands and intention to leave work.

Intentionality and Its Representation in Monologue Campaign Speeches within the Framework of the US 2020 Election Discourse

Modern linguistics pays more and more attention to the issues of political discourse as a communicative activity that attracts a large amount of public attention. Politicians’ campaign speeches, widely studied by public relations specialists, are an effective tool for promoting certain ideas during election campaigns and events. This approach is especially common in the United States of America where political figures running for a particular post often make monologue campaign speeches on the national television and/or directly in front of the voters. From a linguistic point of view, the question how various linguistic means of expressing an intentional orientation are implemented in pre-election campaign speeches of prominent US politicians seems to be a most interesting one. The purpose of this article is to consider the phenomenon of speech intention in the context of monological campaign speeches in the discourse of Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, as well as to identify intentional patterns in their public speech construction. The object of the study is the intentionality of the political figures’ speech behavior as the most important factor in their speech interaction with the audience. A selection of monologue speeches by politicians during the 2020 election campaigns were used as material for the study. One of our objectives is to identify the specificity of the use of intentional vocabulary, grammatical and stylistic means that contribute to the expression of the intentional component by the chosen US politicians in their campaign monologues. The author of the article believes that the intentionality of the American politicians’ speech behavior presupposes a pragmatic effect on the mass recipient. At the same time, the addressee, whether s/he is an ordinary voter or a linguist, must be able to decode the intentions of the addressor, realized by him/her through the intentional speech behavior.

Facing up to the problem of intentionality

AbstractWe distinguish between different problems of “aboutness”: the “hard” problem of explaining the everyday phenomenon of intentionality and three less challenging “easy” sets of problems concerning the posits of folk psychology, the notions of representation invoked in the mind‐brain sciences, and the intensionality (with an “s”) of mental language. The problem of intentionality is especially hard in that, as is the case with the hard problem of phenomenal consciousness, there is no clear path to a solution using current methods. We argue that naturalistic theories of mental representation do not address the hard problem—either they are only intended to address the easy problems, or the claims they make help address the problem of intentionality only under undefended and prima facie implausible assumptions to the effect that the hard problem reduces to some combination of the easy problems. We offer a positive account of what would be required to properly face up to the problem of intentionality.

The Problem of (Un)intentionality in Pedagogy –a View From the Pedagogical Point of View

When we talk about education, we usually mean planned influences that are exerted on the student to develop all his potential on the one hand. On the other hand, the question arises whether there are unintended influences in the education process, whether their outcome is positive or negative, and whether pedagogy also deals with such spontaneous, unintended processes. Therefore, the goal of this research was to examine and analyze the views of pedagogues, associate and scientific-teaching professions on the nature of the influence that is realized within the framework of education. The sample has the characteristics of a deliberate and convenient sample, and it is composed of pedagogues with associate and scientific-teaching titles from two public universities in the Republic of Srpska. The paper used the method of theoretical analysis and descriptive statistics, and of the techniques, the survey technique. The results show that pedagogues, associate, and scientific-teaching professions under education imply a synthesis of intentional and unintentional influences on the student, only a small number of pedagogues consider that the term functional education is inadequate for what it represents and do not give suggestions for its redefinition. The pedagogues think that the (un)intentionality of education is still a current and open question of pedagogy, but not a fundamental one. In the context of the environment, they believe that the family community is a synthesis of intentional and unintentional influence, and the same integrations are not renounced in the institutional environment as well as in the educational activities that took place even in the pre-civilization period. The results can serve as an initial investigation of the phenomenon of (un)intentionality in education and serve as a basis for further quantitatively and qualitatively larger research, but also for the theoretical foundations of all those who in any way discuss the theoretical issues of general pedagogy.

The Influence of Job Stress, Workaholism and Work Engagement on Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention in the Garment Industry

The phenomenon of turnover intention in the garment industry is already rife. The high turnover intention will occur if the company does not realize a large number of jobs available while the resources are minimal. Then it can lead to job stress and workaholic behavior. This study aims to find out and reveal whether the factors of job stress, workaholism, work engagement, and job satisfaction have a significant effect on turnover intention among management employees in companies engaged in the garment industry in Indonesia. The population of this study was employees at companies engaged in the global brand garment industry (BONPRIX, C&A, H&M, etc.) in Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. While the sample is part of the population who has worked in management for at least 1 year. This research is a quantitative research that collects data using the Non-Probability sampling method from July to August 2022 with a sample size of 165 people and uses the Structural Equation Model - Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) data processing method. The result is that work engagement has an impact on increasing job satisfaction, workaholism can increase turnover intention, and job satisfaction can reduce turnover intention. Furthermore, work engagement can reduce the level of turnover intention and job stress can increase the turnover intention of management employees in companies engaged in the garment industry in Indonesia.

Интенциональность прецедентного феномена в текстах современных интернет-СМИ

This article introduces the phenomenon of intentionality in media texts with a precedent phenomenon in the headline. The author studied the way intentionality develops, functions, and structures itself. Journalists often incorporate precedent phenomena into the media text to demonstrate their intention and creativity. However, the intentional nature of online texts is a major text-forming feature that makes the sender choose particular linguistic means to affect the addressee. The intentional potential of using precedents from different subject areas in media texts showed the following trends: the corpus of precedents expands, and precedent units redistribute themselves relative to the core and periphery.

Dampak Beban Kerja Terhadap Intensi Turn Over Pada Karyawan

Every company definitely wants good and adequate quality human resources, with the existence of quality human resources makes the company able to compete with other companies. According to Firdaus (Putra et al., n.d.). Therefore the welfare of employees is also very important to note.Especially in giving workload to employees. Each work unit has a different workload. A workload that is too high can cause an employee to become stressed, not to mention the job demands given by the company so that its employees give the best results. Each individual has different resilience to the workload and responsibilities given, the higher the workload given, the higher the stress level that will be experienced by the individual, conversely the lower the workload given, the lower the stress level. A high workload can make employees decide to quit or leave the company and look for a better company. This situation is also known as intensive turnover. In the case of Indonesia, the phenomenon of turnover intention is well recognized by both academics and practitioners. Every year there are around 10-12% of employees who turn over.

Musical intention as a mean of communication in variety vocal ensemble

The purpose of this article is to analyze the subject of musical intention and its role in the communicative processes of the performing form of a variety vocal ensemble. The study of scientific publications on the topic revealed that the concept of intention is thoroughly researched in the field of philosophy, but in musicology, especially in its variety field, it has not been studied enough.
 The relevance of the chosen topic is due to the growing popularity of vocal ensembles on the modern stage and insufficient theoretical understanding of the processes within this form of performance.
 The methodology. In the course of this study, we used the following general and special methods: structural-functional, comparative-analytical, sys-tem-comparative, induction method, functional and empirical. In combination, all these methods of scientific knowledge allow a wider and more detailed study of the specifics of the creative activity of a variety vocal ensemble.
 The results. The subject of musical intention, as well as the participants in this process in the vocal ensemble, are highlighted. The influence of musical intention on the efficiency and success of the functioning of this performing form is analyzed. On the basis of our performing and teaching practice, as well as as a result of theoretical and empirical research, we come to the conclusion that the musical intention is of paramount importance at all stages of the creative activity of the variety vocal ensemble performing form and plays a key role in its development.
 The scientific novelty. For the first time, the phenomenon of musical intention is studied as the main principle of the creative activity of a variety vocal ensemble. This subject is considered not only as an abstract phenomenon, but as the main link in all communication processes of the modern variety vocal ensemble.
 The practical significance. The results obtained can be actively applied in the practice of existing professional ensembles, educational vocal groups, as well as in amateur ensemble creativity. The application of the principles of intentionality will help artistic directors and performers to work more effectively and professionally with the performing form of a variety vocal ensemble.

A model of lane-changing intention induced by deceleration frequency in an automatic driving environment

Achieving high-level, anthropomorphic lane-changing control for autonomous vehicles is an important method for promoting the safe and efficient operation of autonomous vehicles. According to existing lane-changing models, the important phenomenon that frequent acceleration and deceleration cause a poor riding experience and thus induce the intention of lane-changing needs to be given more attention. In this study, a discretionary lane-changing control method for autonomous vehicles is designed based on anti-interference ability (AIA, where AIA is the number of decelerations per unit time of an autonomous vehicle) to extract the traffic flow variation characteristics of autonomous vehicles with AIA and to determine methods to improve the driving efficiency and stability of autonomous vehicles. AIA is introduced to the lane-changing decision-making process of autonomous vehicles to simulate the phenomenon of lane-changing intention caused by poor riding experience. A control model that can evaluate the lane-changing conditions is then proposed. NetLogo software was selected to construct a one-way, two-lane scenario for autonomous vehicle operation, and the impacts of the proposed decision-making method in each scenario were tested. The experimental results show that autonomous vehicles are more likely to produce frequent deceleration behaviors under large-traffic and small-space operating conditions. A traffic flow composed of autonomous vehicles that use AIA to induce lane-changing intentions has a more obvious phase transition process. An autonomous vehicle whose AIA induces lane-changing intention can improve the speed and stability for a certain traffic volume (a saturation of less than approximately 0.45). Although lane-changing behavior breaks the stable state of two-lane traffic flow, it will also successfully suppress the aggravation of traffic congestion. Lane-changing has an impact on the local oscillation of traffic flow, and a stable traffic flow operation state and reduction in the AIA clearing frequency are mutually reinforcing.

An Analysis of Work Stress and Family-Conflict Work on Organizational Commitment and Turnover Intention: A Case Study on Employee of PT. Apparel One Indonesia

This study departs from findings that show that the turnover rate of employees at PT. Apparel One Indonesia in 2018 is 3.715% which exceeds the threshold set by the company by 2% each year, and the findings that the variables that explain the phenomenon of turnover intention are still different which then leads to the formulation of the problem regarding "how to reduce turnover". Based on these problems, this study developed a research model that was empirically tested to re-explain the variables that could affect turnover intention by using data obtained from interviews using a questionnaire to PT. Apparel One Indonesia's employees. The test was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. The test results showed that work stress and family conflict had a significant adverse effect on organizational commitment. This study also shows that work stress and work-family conflict had a significant positive effect on turnover intention. In contrast, organizational commitment had a significant negative effect on turnover intention.

Encoding in Conceivability-Contexts: Zalta’s Theory of Intentionality versus Bourgeois-Gironde’s Notion of Quasi-encoding

Abstract In (Bourgeois-Gironde, S. 2004. “On Zalta’s Notion of Encoding in Conceivability-Contexts.” Metaphysica 5), the author proposes a survey of Zalta’s Object Theory (Zalta, E. N. 1983. Abstract Objects: An Introduction to Axiomatic Metaphysics. Dordrecht: Reidel Publishing Company; Zalta, E. N. 1988. Intensional Logic and the Metaphysics of Intentionality. Cambridge: MIT Press) and, more specifically, of the Modal Axiom of Encoding (MAE). MAE claims that if something x possibly encodes a property F, then x necessarily encodes F. According to Bourgeois-Gironde, MAE fails to account for intentional phenomena which occur in conceivability-contexts. His solution is based on the notion of quasi-encoding: x quasi-encodes F iff x possibly encodes F. In this paper, I show that Bourgeois-Gironde’s concern is misguided and that Zalta’s framework captures the conceivability-phenomena at issue by modeling Husserl’s notion of Noemata. I then argue that his solution is superior to Bourgeois-Gironde’s. The philosophical significance of such a discussion nonetheless goes well beyond the debate between these two authors. Indeed, Zalta’s theory of Noemata is only sketched and needs to be further explored to see, on the one hand, whether and how Object Theory successfully describes the behavior of objects in conceivability-contexts, and, on the other hand, to test the efficacy of its primitive notions that are – as the contemporary debate on Neomeinongianism largely shows – anything but uncontroversial.

Intentionality in the Middle Ages: Thomas Aquinas, Duns Scotus, William of Ockham

The article presents an overview of medieval approaches to understanding the phenomenon of intentionality. First, the author outlines the approach of Thomas Aquinas, according to which the process of cognition consists in assimilating the intellect to the object of cognition. This theory insists that there is no difference between the form of a real object, thanks to which it exists, and the form of this object in the mind of the cognizing subject. Duns Scotus makes this picture more sophisticated when he begins to distinguish in the mind the sensory image of the cognized thing (phantasma) and the intelligible representation (species) of this thing. William of Ockham, on the other hand, refuses to introduce any additional entities between the object of knowledge and the mind of the knower. This rejection, together with the nominalism, led to the emergence of the concept of mental language, in which there is no place for signs connecting thought and object, instead, a direct connection between the spoken word and the corresponding mental words is postulated. In conclusion, the author considers the problem of the justification and legitimacy of the discovery of proto-phenomenological concepts in medieval philosophy.

Alexander Wendt, Quantum mind and social science: unifying physical and social ontology

AbstractAlexander Wendt's Quantum Mind and Social Science hypothesizes that all intentional phenomena, including both psychological and social facts, are macroscopic quantum mechanical processes. Whether right or wrong, the suggestion highlights the fact that the social sciences, including IR, have until very recently never systematically discussed the potential relevance to our work of the quantum revolution a century ago. According to Wendt, that has left social scientists today – positivists and interpretivists alike – operating from an implicit and impoverished 19th century worldview that cannot accommodate important facts about human subjectivity. This symposium features critiques of Wendt's vision from multiple perspectives and a response, for one of the first airings of the classical-quantum debate in an IR context.

Brentano and Scholasticism

The article deals with the problem of scholastic sources of Brentano’s concept of intentionality. The subject matter of the discussion is the so-called thesis on intentionality as formulated by Brentano in his 1874 book “Psychology from an Empirical Point of View”. The search for Brentano's specific scholastic sources has been going on for decades, but even today the problem is still relevant. The objectives of the article are, firstly, to identify the main positions on the issue and to reveal the reasons for their failure, and, secondly, to suggest our own hypothesis providing arguments in its favor. On the basis of the existing publications the following positions are briefly formulated: 1) hypothesis of borrowing from Thomas Aquinas; 2) hypothesis of borrowing from Aristotle; 3) hypothesis of borrowing from the 14th century scholastics. The inconsistency of these hypotheses, each on its own grounds, is shown. The first hypothesis proceeds from false assumptions, the second one is obviously reductionist, the third one correctly identifies the points of similarity between Brentano and the scholastics, but underestimates the differences between them. The author’s hypothesis is that the most precise parallel to Brentano’s doctrine of intentionality is found in the early modern scholasticism. It is supported from two sides. First, on the basis of Brentano’s biographical and reading history, arguments are formulated in favor of the validity of this assumption. It is shown that Brentano was able to reach the scholastics of Descartes’ epoch through his reading of the works of German neoscholastics of the mid-nineteenth century. Brentano’s and baroque scholasticism’s main points about intentionality are then formulated: 1) distinction between intentional and physical phenomena as a core of intentional philosophy; 2) intentionality as a property of all, not only intellectual, mental acts; 3) notion of intentional object and its variations; 4) objective being; 5) reality of mental acts and irreality of their contents. The comparison shows that they are similar in both traditions not only substantively, but also functionally.

The Incompleteness Phenomenon in Creative Heritage of Lesya Ukrainka

. The different scientists’ views on the artistic technique of incompleteness has been systemized in the article. The term «non-finito» has been defined as the aesthetic category that appears in a special type of artistic thinking. The given phenomenon has been traced in Lesya Ukrainka’s literary heritage. Special attention has been paid towards the analysis of the writer's manuscripts that has shown the text endless. The study has determined the paradigm of creative work, which is specific for Lesya Ukrainka’s writing style . Various works of Lesya Ukrainka, namely dramas have been examined in the article in order to substantiate the « incompleteness » conception as a peculiar type of author thinking. The current study has investigated the phenomenon of art intentions in Lesya Ukrainka’s dramatical works , which has been applied in a number of endings. The authors have studied various artistic techniques of non-finito and suggested to divide them into several categories: open text form, intentionality, and ending truncation. It has been indicated in the article that the most revealing work of aesthetics and poetics of non-finito is drama "Autumn Tale" – the most mysterious Lesya Ukrainka’s work. The drama is the brightest and most multifaceted embodiment of non-finito in writer’s creative work. This drama has a reputation of «obscurity» and became an object of different scientific research. Also, it has been noted that one of non-finito techniques in Lesya Ukrainka's works is so-called «truncation» of ending. It is used to both express and crystallize the basic concept of the author's idea. Special attention in the article has been paid to the phenomenon of artistic intention in Lesya Ukrainka's dramas, embodied in a number of extremities. It becomes a characteristic factor of the whole characters’ behavior. The authors emphasize in their article that the drama of intentions, which is realized on the lexical-grammatical, semantic, personal and structural levels, is a characteristic genre form of Lesya Ukrainka's drama and is a specific non-finito factor as a type of the writer's work.

Sound Change as Media for Showing Deference

AbstractJavanese language shows a dynamic change when used in daily communication. The change represented by vowels and consonants as a speaker alternates from Ngoko to Krama is not only a phenomenon of phonetics but also a phenomenon of intention. A speaker changes his linguistic code to meet social functions of language. One of them is that the change of phoneme represents the way of Javanese people when they give respect or honor to others. Phonetically, the change of phoneme will result in different mouth shapes as these phonemes are produced. According to Javanese, the shape of mouth is in line with politeness. The participatory observation method was applied to get the data. The result shows that indeed there are various changes in vowel and consonants when a speaker alternates from Ngoko to Krama. This alternation is in line with the change in which language sound tends to change from open to close. It seems Javanese will use frontier vowels and consonant as they want to obey politeness principle. Key words: vowel and consonant change, shape of mouth and politeness

Self-deception as omission

ABSTRACT In this paper, I argue against three leading accounts of self-deception and propose a heretofore overlooked route to self-deception. The central problem with extant accounts is that they are unable to balance two crucial desiderata: (a) to make the dynamics of self-deception (e.g., the formation of self-deceptive beliefs) psychologically plausible, and (b) to capture self-deception as an intentional phenomenon for which the self-deceiver is responsible. I argue that the three leading views all fail on one or both counts. However, I claim that many or most cases of self-deception conform to a different model, which I call ‘self-deception as omission.’ In these cases, the process of self-deceptive belief formation and the intentional act for which the self-deceiver is responsible come apart, allowing us to meet both desiderata. Self-deceptive beliefs are often formed by unconscious mechanisms closely analogous to “System 1” processes of dual-systems psychology, or by other mechanisms of motivated reasoning. The nascently self-deceptive subject then acquiesces in the comforting belief and commits an epistemic failure by allowing it to persist. If this is done for motivationally biased reasons – for example, preferring that the belief in question be true – then the subject is self-deceived and is blameworthy for her epistemic omission.

Entrepreneurial intention among female university students: examining the moderating role of entrepreneurial education

The present paper endeavours to understand the phenomenon of entrepreneurial intention (EI) among female university students of India through the application of the theory of planned behaviour (TPB) adding an additional variable named entrepreneurial education (EE). Furthermore, the paper also attempt to examine the moderating role of entrepreneurship education on the relationships between ATE, PBC, and EI. Data sample of 387 female students was collected, using convenience sampling technique, from three different universities of India using a structured questionnaire developed by Linen and Chen in 2009. After data screening process, CFA and SEM techniques were used for analysing the data. Results of hypotheses testing revealed that basic antecedents of TPB have been found significantly impacting EI of female students while additional variable EE was also found to be positively affecting EI with a low coefficient. The results of this study will help in understanding the phenomenon of entrepreneurial intention among female university students.
