The Role of Job Authority and Employee Empowerment on Employee Commitment in the Public Service Sector

Team member commitment is at the core of organizational performance and durability, especially in the public sector. The study seeks to supplement existing knowledge by examining the effects of job authority and job empowerment on team member commitment and its impact on motivation, job satisfaction, and loyalty to the organization. This was obtained through a mixed-method approach, drawing together quantitative survey data with qualitative in-depth interviews with public workers. The findings indicate that the greater the level of authority, the more responsibility there is, and the more freedom there is for decision-making, the greater the commitment to the organization. Knowing how to do the work properly and having the proper skills and self-confidence were also essential for team member commitment. Employees at the lower organizational levels reported having feelings of encouragement and interest in the company, as well as integration into the strategic objectives of the company or enterprise. These results indicate the need for public service organisations to adopt a sustainable employee commitment culture focusing on authority and empowerment. Such issues need to be examined as time passes in future studies. The findings emphasize the importance of job authority and empowerment as determinants of team member engagement in the public sector compared to team member engagement in the private sector: assistive medical devices and many other organizations.

Семья как фактор контрмаркетинга табакокурения в стратегии государственной политики по обеспечению охраны материнства и детства.

The demographic realities of today’s Russia have changed the strategy of state policy to ensure the protection of motherhood and childhood, support for families with children and have defined national development goals for the period up to 2036. Objective of the study: to study the role of family and environment in counter-marketing of tobacco smoking in the context of the strategy of state policy to ensure the protection of motherhood and childhood. Material and methods: a one-stage open uncontrolled study with random non-repeated selection of respondents was conducted in the form of an anonymous online survey of students of the Reaviz Medical University and the Russian State Sociological University. Results and discussion: 535 questionnaires were analyzed. The proportion of smokers in the environment of future doctors is high: from 45.3% they live, and from 53.3% – spend their free time. In the environment of respondents, the proportion of traditional cigarettes decreased from 65% among those living nearby, to 40% among people with whom the respondents spend time. The loyalty of family members to electronic cigarettes has led to a decrease in the total ban on their use in domestic premises to 8.2% versus 60.8% for traditional cigarettes, and an expansion of their use everywhere to 31% versus 2.7% for cigarettes. Thus, the family as a factor in counter-marketing of tobacco smoking can become a regulator of the conflict of resources: the profits of producers, the budget-forming component of the tobacco industry and the state’s financial resources in the form of reduced costs for the treatment of patients and a decrease in the loss of reproductive, labor and intellectual resources due to morbidity, disability and premature mortality associated with the consumption of tobacco and NP.

코칭행동이 혁신행동에 미치는 영향: 자기결정성과 조직몰입의 매개효과 조직지원인식의 조절효과 중심으로

In an environment threatened by rapid environmental changes in 4th industrial era technology, global economic downturn and instability, and the acceleration of technological change, companies are desperate to survive and secure competitiveness. Competition between industries is intensifying and requires the continuous change and innovation of companies in unpredictable environments. In uncertain environments, the need for coaching behaviors that can induce innovative behavior is expanding as companies demand creativity and challenges taken on by organization members. This study verified the influential relationship between the coaching behavior of leaders and the innovation behavior of members, and attempted to confirm the mediating effects of the variables of organizational commitment and self-determination from the intrinsic motivation-level of the individual along with moderating effects through perceived organizational support. This study showed that factors of coaching behavior can have a practical effect on the leaders of organizations who reinforce innovation. Results of this study showed that, first, the coaching behavior of leaders was verified to have a positive (+) effect on the innovation behavior, self-determination, and organizational commitment of members. Second, the coaching behavior of leaders was shown to have a positive (+) effect relationship on the mediating effects of self-determination and organizational commitment, among the innovation behavior of members. Third, perceived organizational support was found to have a moderating effect between the coaching behavior of leaders and the innovation behavior of members. This study can strengthen and differentiate theoretical foundations that are relatively under-researched in the coaching field through self-determination theory and it can be a meaningful study that expands academic mechanisms. In practice, the coaching behavior of leaders can promote corporate sustainability and the innovation behavior of members seeking a competitive advantage and it can provide an empirical basis for the coaching behavior development of leaders.

Solarpunk and Alternative Social Imaginaries: Sarena Ulibarri’s Narratives of Radical Hope

ABSTRACT In the global climate crisis context, it is imperative to engage with the potentialities offered by hope as a critical category to invigorate the climate change discourse. Hope, as an affect, can mobilise collective imagination to effectuate alternatives to neoliberal hegemony. This paper explores the radical potential of hope, drawing on Laclau’s notion of emancipation, which reconceptualises hope as integral to envisioning a liberatory social imaginary in opposition to capitalist frameworks. Similarly, Mouffe’s articulation of the social imaginary underscores the role of hope as a passion that drives practices and discourses of identification, constituting political subjects distinct from those shaped by capitalism. Through an analysis of two Solarpunk narratives by Sarena Ulibarri, this paper examines how hope is mobilised through a collective will towards emancipation. The narratives under consideration, ‘The Spiral Ranch’ and ‘The Mushroom Farmer’s Network,’ depict characters trying to transcend the constraints of capitalism and an undesirable social order through practices of hope. These practices are initated through the passionate commitment of community members, as depicted in these narratives, to a collective ethos that eschews individualistic or profit-driven motives and aligns with the principles of a sustainable Solarpunk society. The ecologically sustainable farm and the ranch depicted in these texts represent pluralist collectivities that resist the individualising and totalising impulses characteristic of capitalist systems.

Community client-led anti-retroviral therapy delivery for people newly diagnosed with HIV: a pilot study in Nakivale Refugee Settlement in Uganda

ABSTRACT Engaging in HIV care services can be challenging for refugees as they navigate new care systems while meeting daily needs. This pilot study assessed Early Community Client-led ART Delivery (Early CCLAD) as a differentiated care strategy for those newly diagnosed with HIV in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda. Early CCLAD was a community antiretroviral therapy delivery option where group members take turns coming to the health center. Adults accessing routine HIV testing were offered participation in the study. Participants completed intake surveys, and those interested in joining a community group received the intervention when feasible. The primary outcome was linkage to HIV clinical care within 90 days. Exit interviews were conducted to identify program benefits and challenges. Out of 2793 individuals enrolled, 92 tested positive for HIV and 74 (80.4%) were willing to participate in Early CCLAD. After 6 months, all participants in Early CCLAD groups had initiated ART and 87.0% achieved viral suppression. Convenience, social support and community building were identified as program benefits, while challenges included member commitment, reliability and mobility. Early CCLAD demonstrated feasibility and acceptability as an intervention strategy in a refugee settlement. Further research is needed to assess the scalability and long-term outcomes.

Training: Anti-Corruption Educational and Cultural Communication Strategy with a Pragmatic and Approach Communal Challenge

Currently, corruption has permeated various levels of administration, including at the village level such as Selomarto Village, Giriwoyo District, Wonogiri Regency. Both village officials and the general public are involved in daily corrupt practices, posing significant challenges to the integrity of village fund management. To address this issue, Training on Communication Strategies for Anti-Corruption Education and Culture was conducted with a Pragmatic and Communal Challenge Approach as part of Community Engagement in the Village. The results of this engagement indicate that the implemented communication strategy successfully increased awareness, participation, and commitment of Selomarto Village community members in combating corruption. The community effectively implemented strict oversight of village funds and conducted sustained social campaigns, building a strong anti-corruption culture. The commitment of the PKK Empowerment and Family Welfare Community in Selomarto Village as a change agent in corruption prevention serves as an inspiration to other regions, although ongoing challenges such as continuous support from various stakeholders remain a primary focus. Therefore, efforts to sustain local governance integrity and continuity should be continuously promoted to ensure the positive effects of this engagement continue to grow and serve as a positive example for other communities in building a clean and transparent governance system.

In Indonesia, the increase in the number of medical disputes reflects dissatisfaction with health services. This study aims to analyze the role of MKDKI as a law enforcement tool in cases of violation of doctors' professional standards, as well as supporting and inhibiting factors for the implementation of this role. The research method used is the empirical normative method. The data collected was analyzed to identify how MKDKI carried out its role in handling violation cases. The results of the study show that the Government has established laws and established KKI, MKDKI, and MKEK to protect the doctor-patient relationship. This panel assesses disciplinary violations based on operational and professional standards. The effectiveness of the Assembly is influenced by regulations, member commitment, institutional support, and resources. Obstacles such as inadequate regulation and external intervention need to be overcome through regulatory revision strategies, increased resources, and transparency. The suggestion in this study is to increase transparency and consistency in handling cases of violations of doctors' professional standards, the Indonesia Medical Honorary Council (MKDKI) needs to be supported by strong regulations and the support of related institutions. It is also important to establish MKDKI in each province and conduct socialization about their roles, as well as ensure that their decisions are in line with the Indonesia Medical Council (KKI)

The Role of Organizational Climate in Increasing the Commitment of DPD KNPI Karawang Members

This research aims to determine the effect of organizational climate on organizational commitment. The research method used is quantitative with a causality research design. The data collection technique uses saturated samples, where the entire population is sampled. The population in this study were 110 members of the Karawang Regency Regional Executive Board of the Indonesian Youth National Committee, consisting of 97 men and 13 women. Data were collected using the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) and the organizational climate scale constructed by the researcher. Hypothesis testing was conducted with simple regression analysis using SPSS version 25.0 for Windows 64-bit. The results showed a significance value of 0.025 (P < 0.05), which means that there is a negative effect of organizational climate on organizational commitment in members of the Karawang Regency Indonesian Youth National Committee. The coefficient of determination (R Square) value of 0.045 indicates that 4.5% of the variation in organizational commitment is explained by organizational climate. In comparison, the remaining 95.5% is influenced by other factors not included in this study.

Key to successful legislation on the role of professional commitment, organizational behavior and understanding of legislation

This study aims to examine the effect of Professional Commitment (X1) and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (X2) on Legislative Function Performance (Y) through Legislative Function Understanding (Z) as a mediating variable among members of the South Kalimantan Provincial DPRD. The research method uses a quantitative design with mediation analysis. Data were collected from 117 DPRD member respondents using a questionnaire that was tested for validity and reliability. The results of the analysis showed that X2 did not have a significant effect on Y (p-value = 0.089), while X2 had a significant negative effect on Z (p-value = 0.000). On the other hand, X1 showed a significant negative effect on Y (p-value = 0.000), but was not significant on Z (p-value = 0.337). Legislative Function Understanding (Z) did not function as a mediator between X2 and Y (p-value = 0.882) and between X1 and Y (p-value = 0.905). These findings emphasize the importance of increasing the professional commitment of DPRD members and paying attention to organizational citizenship behavior in an effort to improve legislative performance, while also showing that understanding the legislative function does not strengthen the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Further research is needed to explore other factors that may affect legislative performance.

Exploring biometric attendance technology in the Arab academic environment: Insights into faculty loyalty and educational performance in policy initiatives

This study provides insights for decision-makers contemplating the implementation of Biometric Attendance Technology (BAT) for faculty in educational institutions. We conducted a comprehensive assessment of BAT’s impact on Arab educational systems, focusing on its influence on faculty loyalty and satisfaction, which are integral to enhancing overall organizational performance. Using SMART-PLS, we analyzed data from an electronic questionnaire distributed to 296 participants. Our findings highlight the importance of fostering faculty loyalty and satisfaction through training and education initiatives alongside BAT implementation strategies. Despite these efforts, there was no significant improvement in the relationship between loyalty, satisfaction, and educational system performance (ESP) following the introduction of BAT. Slope analysis indicated no significant correlations between Faculty Member Satisfaction (FMS), Faculty Member Loyalty (FML), and ESP. However, slight improvements in R-square values were observed: FML increased from 0.512 to 0.514, and ESP from 0.433 to 0.438 with the BAT moderator. These results are crucial for guiding informed decisions regarding the integration of modern technologies into educational systems.

On the development of criteria for determining the effectiveness of technical working groups: A case study about information processes in marine conservation and fisheries management in Belize

Use of scientific information in evidence-based decision-making is critically important in addressing coastal and ocean management concerns. In an ecosystem-based management context, ensuring that the “right” information (reliable) is available can be particularly challenging as the information often resides in different organizations with different management mandates. Many governmental and intergovernmental organizations have used a range of approaches, including technical advisory committees and working groups, to facilitate multidisciplinary input into the development of appropriate policies and management practices. This study examined the roles of multiple stakeholders participating in technical working groups that assist in decision-making for marine fisheries management in Belize, a coastal country in Central America. Through interviews with members of three working groups – the Spawning Aggregation Working Group, the Managed Access Working Group, and the National Hicatee Conservation and Monitoring Network – and decision-makers in the Belize Fisheries Department, information production processes and pathways for information uptake into policy were investigated. Major characteristics of communication at the science-policy interface associated with each working group were revealed. Important communication enablers and barriers were identified related to the operation of the working groups, such as membership commitment and resource availability, which influenced knowledge exchange within and outside the groups. Based on the results, a set of requirements for the creation and operation of effective working groups was formulated with regard to requisite inputs, the operational processes, and the types and uses of the information outputs of the groups. These requirements serve as a foundation for development of indicators of the effectiveness of working groups in environmental management contexts that support communication and decision-making at science-policy interfaces.

Pacific tuna update: 20th Meeting of the Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission

The Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC), the governing body for the world’s largest tuna fishery, held its 20th annual Commission meeting in Rarotonga, Cook Islands, in December 2023. This commentary provides an overview of the meeting and its outcomes. Revisions to the tropical tuna measure were the main focus of member states’ attention, alongside the determination of an interim Target Reference Point for South Pacific albacore, compliance monitoring reporting, and updates to measures and harvest strategies for Northern Stocks. The members were able to comprehensively address the management of the tropical tuna species and made progress on harvest strategies. Harvest strategies are pre-determined management actions that would reduce the reliance on short-term management decisions and achieve a long-term management framework. However, other important issues, such as developing an allocation framework, remained unresolved despite the member's commitment to start developing such a framework at this year’s meeting. Emerging shifts in meeting dynamics were observed and may signal changes in how the WCPFC operates moving forward.

Analysis of Farmer's Perception and Constraints on Dairy Cooperatives in Amhara Region, Ethiopia

This study was done to examine the farmer’s perception and constraints on dairy cooperatives in Amhara region, Ethiopia. A sample of 266 smallholder dairy farmers was selected using a multi-stage sampling technique. Perception of farmers was analyzed using relative importance index, and constraints of dairy cooperative performance were analyzed using Henry Garrett's ranking technique. The result indicates that farmers have a positive perception of certain attributes of dairy cooperatives; such as increasing social networks, improving income, and serving as a saving source. This suggests that farmers believe these aspects of dairy cooperatives are beneficial. Conversely, farmers have concerns and dissatisfaction with the way the cooperative is running, the loyalty of members to the cooperative, member's treatment by cooperatives, and the decision-making process. The study also identified that lack of milk processing facilities, poor member awareness, and member involvement in the decision-making process are the foremost internal challenges of dairy cooperatives, while high cost of cross-breed cows, occurrence of animal disease, and low productivity of local breed cows are external constraints hindering dairy cooperative performance. Thus, to enhance farmers' perception and participation in cooperative activities, emphasis should be given to addressing concerns and improving the overall functioning of dairy cooperatives.

Situational Leadership Practices of Higher Education in China as Correlates to Organizational Commitment

The findings indicate that the seven dimensions of situational leadership practices—supportive behavior, leadership behavior, members' maturity level, teaching guidance behavior, academic exchange and collaboration, personal growth and self-management, and technology application—are significantly and positively correlated with the organizational commitment of faculty members. Specifically, supportive behavior and leadership behavior play a crucial role in enhancing the affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment of faculty members. Additionally, the study discovered significant differences in the situational leadership practices related to academic exchange and collaboration among teachers from different academic backgrounds. This research underscores the pivotal role of situational leadership in enhancing the organizational commitment of faculty members and the effectiveness of higher education institutions, and it offers targeted suggestions for improvement.

The Role of Management Psychology in Forming Attachment and Motivation for Organizational Performance

Management psychology is a management discipline that uses a psychological approach to understand the personality of each person in an organization. Psychological factors influence individual performance, communication patterns, and interactions in the work environment. The aim of this research is to explain the role of managerial psychology in shaping engagement and motivation for organizational performance. This research uses a literature review method from various books, articles and research reports. The results of the literature review conducted show that a supportive work environment can only be built through good leadership practices. Good leadership practices can be identified from how leaders manage communication and interaction patterns to meet the needs and expectations of each individual. These needs and expectations are met through a fair and humane approach to all members, clear career paths, rewards for work performance, quality development programs, objective job evaluations, and follow-up on job evaluation results. Leaders cannot create a comfortable work environment unless they earn the trust and loyalty of members. Trust can only be obtained when leaders care about all their members, are willing to accept opinions and suggestions, and are willing to share experiences with their members.
