The study offers practical aspects of time management and provides valuable perspectives in near future to address the time management related issues in the schools.

Environmental, Social, and Economic Sustainability: Do Big Companies in Indonesia Care?

Companies are the main actors that utilize Indonesia’s natural resources, the responsibility of maintaining surrounding conditions such as environmental, social, and economic is an absolute responsibility that cannot be avoided. This study aims to determine the motivation of management in providing accountability for its activities to stakeholders. Through the lens of stakeholder theory, it is expected to find out the management’s efforts in showing the public all its accountability activities. LQ45 companies are the largest companies that are fully trusted by various stakeholders to be the main attraction for research studies. The sustainability report prepared throughout 2019-2022 and research data analyzed using moderation regression analysis is expected to provide an overview of the company’s concern for the surrounding. The results show the environmental, social, and economic sustainability of large companies in Indonesia is captured in the report shows a weak level, their concern increases when the company experiences an increase in profits. Pressure from various company stakeholders does not necessarily increase their concerns. The company will be encouraged to disclose when the company experiences an increase in profitability. However, creditors provide the most dominant pressure to make companies open about their activities. Suggestions for future research can use other theoretical perspectives such as legitimacy and stewardship in seeing management’s concerns.

ESG performance and stock idiosyncratic volatility

Focusing on ESG-responsible investment, this paper identifies the causal effect of ESG performance on stock idiosyncratic volatility in a typical emerging market, China. Based on the data of A-share listed firms from 2012 to 2022, we find that the ESG performance of listed companies significantly reduces stock idiosyncratic volatility, suggesting that ESG investment can provide a more transparent information environment for the market, thereby reducing firm idiosyncratic risk. Mechanism analysis found that ESG performance relies on mechanisms that inhibit management's earnings management motives and increase analyst attention to the impact of stock idiosyncratic volatility of listed companies.

Impact of transformational leadership on employee motivation and performance in supply chain management

The study aimed to investigate transformational leadership’s influences on employee performance and motivation in supply chain management (SCM). Considering the effectiveness of transformational leadership traits in motivating subordinates in every organization, the purpose of the current research was to criticize how transformational leadership facilitates motivating employees in supply chain workplaces. A mixed approach methodology based on qualitative-interpretive and quantitative-positivism research design was chosen to gather data from the participant’s group. A randomly selected sample of 12 top, middle and bottom-level managers from supply chain organisations was chosen as the participants for the qualitative open-ended in-depth interviews and the quantitative survey-based questionnaires. Interview findings were analysed using thematic analysis. On the other side, statistical analysis of the survey findings reported the impacts of transformational leadership on enhanced employee productivity, employee motivation, employee turnover and supply chain management business. The study found that all the transformational leadership characteristics are necessary to motivate alongside improving operational efficiency among the employees in a supply chain workplace. Overall results concluded that with their Intellectual simulation, Idealised Influence, Inspirational Motivation, Individualized consideration, Contingent Reward, and Expectation Management. transformational leaders and managers ensure employees are motivated to pursue agility and overall performance of supply chain management is improved via brand position in the market. In terms of practical implications, the study recommended that SCM organisations need optimized procurement and allocation of resources at different processes to leverage on impacts of transformational leadership.

Women's experience of polycystic ovary syndrome management: A systematic review and meta-synthesis.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common chronic condition in women of child-bearing age. There is currently no effective treatment, so early and long-term management is essential. However, there are many problems in the practice of disease management in women with PCOS that make it difficult to achieve good outcomes. To explore women's experience of PCOS management and identify the relevant facilitators and barriers to management. A structured search was undertaken in five bibliographic databases (MEDLINE, Web of Science, CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane) from the date of establishment of the database up to December 2022. All qualitative and mixed-methods studies available in English describing the experience of PCOS management from the patients' perspective were included. The Joanna Briggs Institute Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument was used to appraise study quality. The evidence was synthesized using a pragmatic meta-aggregative approach guided by the capability, opportunity, and motivation model of behavior (COM-B). A total of 13 studies were included with 85 equivocal findings and 12 credible findings. The findings were meta-aggregated into three themes: (1) capability of women with PCOS, including patients' attitudes toward disease and management, knowledge, and skills of the disease; (2) opportunities in PCOS management, including information about PCOS, diagnostic delay, disease characteristics, disease management plan, and logistical and environmental problems; and (3) motivation in PCOS management, including impact of symptoms, perceived needs, support and feedback, and unpleasant medical experience. This study identifies facilitators and barriers to PCOS management from the patient perspective, which can guide the design and implementation of PCOS management programs for patients. This study also provides information for future research into how the COM-B theory can be incorporated into specific management plans to promote patient action.

Drivers of Forest cover changes in and around Jorgo Wato Forest, West Wallagga, Oromia, Ethiopia

Identifying the drivers of forest cover change is necessary information for planning sustainable use of natural resources. A study was conducted to identify the major drivers of forest covers changes in and around Jorgo Wato forest, West Wallagga Zone of Oromia National Regional State, Ethiopia. Purposive and random sampling selection of 120 household's interviews and 12 focus group discussions were used in this study. Agricultural expansion (especially coffee plantation), fuel wood extraction, wood for construction, logging (illegal), insecure tenure and use right, weak institutional performance, population growth and density were among the identified direct and indirect drivers of forest cover changes in the study area. Enhancing benefit sharing of the communities from forests/forest products is the main motivation for protection and sustainable management.

Adult attachment and interpersonal emotion regulation motives in daily life.

Interpersonal goals and adult attachment have implications for how people interact with others as well as for emotion experience and regulation. Literature on intrapersonal emotional processes has typically not examined motivations underlying people's engagement with others' emotions and its connections to individual differences related to close relationships such as attachment. This study analyzed the relationships between interpersonal emotion regulation motives, perceived social interaction outcomes, and attachment. Undergraduates (N = 211) reported their trait attachment. Experience sampling was used to examine the reasons why they wanted to regulate others' emotions during daily interactions and perceived changes in their own well-being and relationship quality with the target of regulation. Attachment anxiety was associated with more self-focused prohedonic motives and impression management motives, while attachment avoidance predicted less perceived increases in emotional and relational well-being after interactions. People who tended to report more (self- and other-focused) prohedonic and less impression management motives in daily life perceived more positive changes in their emotional well-being and people who tended to report higher emotional similarity motives perceived more positive changes in their relational well-being after interactions People also perceived more positive emotional and relational interaction outcomes at times when they held more (self- and other-focused) prohedonic, impression management, or relationship maintenance motives and less self-focused performance and relationship distancing motives. Overall, these findings suggest that attachment anxiety may guide why people engage with other people's emotions and these extrinsic interpersonal emotion regulation motives may play a role in socioemotional outcomes of daily interactions.

The Improvement of Technological and Skill to Support the Operation of Bank Sampah Manunggal Sejahtera in Cawas District, Klaten Regency

The impact of poor waste handling has been felt by the residents of Cawas District since more than seven years ago. In 2017, the community established Manunggal Sejahtera Waste Bank (BSMS) as a respond to this problem. BSMS is still operating well today by using the garbage donation system. In other Cawas sub-districts, waste management pioneering efforts are unfortunately still running sporadically. In this project, BSMS serves as a center for learning and increasing motivation for community-based and environmentally-friendly waste management in the Cawas District area. Currently, BSMS already has various facilities and infrastructure needed for waste segregation and organic waste management. Vegetable gardens and medicinal plants, as a medium for utilizing processed organic waste, are also owned by BSMS. However, this garden is still not well organized and does not have more value than other gardens. The capacity, attractiveness and utilization of this garden was increased to support the plan to make BSMS a center for learning and increasing motivation for community-based and environmentally-friendly waste management. This project was implemented by increasing the number and variety of plants and implementing smart solar lighting and irrigation systems. In addition to completing these supporting facilities and infrastructure, the UMY PPM-Muh Team also organized training in gardening skills

What promotes production contract in Indian agriculture? Managing market risk versus profit orientation

AbstractWe identify factors influencing farmers’ decision‐making on various production contracts and are explicitly concerned with whether managing market risk or profit orientation promotes contract farming (CF). After controlling for potential endogeneity, the IV‐Tobit regression results indicate that farmers’ risk behavior and profit orientation are vital factors driving CF participation decisions. However, we observed that the impact of profit orientation is relatively more substantial than the risk management motive, suggesting that earning a higher profit, rather than managing market risks, is the primary objective of CF adoption. In addition, other factors such as farm size, mean contract price, education, age, and extension services play a significant role in CF participation. The major policy implications, based on results, call for enhancing the CF network and encouraging farmers to commercialize agriculture as it facilitates access to the market and higher profits. Further, agribusiness firms should share more market risks with farmers to invite risk‐averse smallholders into the fold of commercial farming.

Can green advertising increase consumers' purchase intention of electric vehicles? An experimental study from China

Electric vehicles can mitigate global warming by eliminating carbon dioxide emissions. Conveying the above green information and other electric vehicle information through green advertising may increase consumers' purchase intentions. However, little literature has explored the relationship between green advertising and consumers' intention to buy electric vehicles. This paper uses an experimental method to analyse the nexus between green advertising and consumers' purchase intention of electric vehicles. The results show that: (1) compared with non-green advertising, green advertising can significantly increase consumers' purchase intentions for electric vehicles; (2) green perceived value and green product attitude are the two main channels through which green advertising affects consumers' purchase intention; (3) both of high environmental attitude and strong impression management motivation can enhance the influence of green advertising on consumers' purchase of electric vehicles. The research sheds light on the impact mechanism of green advertising and provides a new marketing instrument for sellers to promote electric vehicle sales.

Implementing Project-Based Learning for Pre-Service English Teachers in Independent Home Teaching Internship

Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the Education and Teacher Training Faculty of UIN Walisongo, Semarang, Indonesia offered Independent Home Teaching Internships in the academic year of 2021/2022. The purpose of this research is to explain the implementation of Project-Based Learning by pre-service English teachers, as well as to analyze the problems of teaching EFL learners in Independent Home Teaching Internship. The study employed qualitative descriptive research design. The research participants were 15 pre-service English teachers from the English Education Department. Interviews and documentation were used to collect data. According to the data, Project-based Learning was implemented in this program by creating some learning videos. They were video of learning media and also video of English teaching and learning process. The products of project-based learning must be uploaded in YouTube channel. Because this was the first time a teaching internship completed online via numerous platforms, there were also new concerns and hurdles in completing the program. As part of their online Project-based Learning, students struggled with preparing lesson plans and designing certain learning videos. Practical implications of utilizing this learning model make enhancing students’ critical thinking skills, creativity, motivation and autonomous learners. However, they can solve the several problems namely bad connection of internet access, students’ low motivation in learning English and classroom management in these programs

R&D investment management and ambidextrous technological innovation: Evidence from Chinese listed firms

Firm-level technological innovation is in part driven by R&D management motivation. This paper studies the effect of Chinese listed firms’ R&D investment management on their ambidextrous technological innovation performance. In the prospective of internal financial constraints and earnings management, three R&D motivations are identified: strategically proactive intervention, resource-constrained passive adjustment, and R&D manipulation for earnings purposes. Based on the Chinese listed firm level data during 2007–2019, this paper analyzes the effects of these three different R&D management motivations on the ambidextrous innovation patent portfolio, cutting-edge innovation possibility and patent diversification. The empirical results reveal that R&D management significantly promotes ambidextrous innovation, particularly exploration innovation. Firms with more internal financial resources are more likely to engage in proactive R&D activities than those with less financial resources who are more likely to place earnings before R&D investment as the top priority. A robustness test that controls for the 2008 financial crisis also verifies our results.

The Concept of Chance Management in Coopetition Among Cultural Institutions

Purpose: The aim of the article is to exemplify the chance management concept in coopetition among cultural institutions and determine specific chance attributes. Design/methodology/approach: The empirical research was exploratory, and the research process used a qualitative, interpretative approach. The study used semi-structured, in-depth individual face-to-face interviews. A total of 42 interviews were conducted with public and private museums. Findings: Our research revealed that cultural entities take advantage of opportunities so as to achieve not only a competitive advantage, but also a cooperative, or even – as has been shown – a coopetitive one. Coopetition, in turn, can be analyzed through the lens of the chance management concept, and especially the relational perspective of chance, which views chance as an important element within an organization’s environment. Moreover, the specificity of coopetition in cultural institutions has shown the importance of social factors, emphasizing that coopetition is the effect of social construction, individual actions and the motivations of managers. Therefore, the social embeddedness of coopetition should be emphasized in this approach, determining not only the intentional, but also the emergent, nature of coopetition. At the same time, it reveals that the individual cognitive perspective of managers who are able to notice, use or create chance is significant. Originality/value: In strategic management, coopetition has been considered so far to be a planned, long-term phenomenon and a purposefully, deliberately created relationship. The findings of our research in the cultural sector have revealed that coopetition can also be a temporal, ad hoc relationship that is short-term in nature, as well as being incremental and undertaken spontaneously depending on emerging opportunities.

Local government debt and corporate tax burden: A perspective based on the trade-off of government tax collection and management.

As an important source of local fiscal revenue, will enterprise tax be affected by local government debt? What role do the government's tax collection and management motives and behaviors play in this effect? By investigating the impact of local government debt on the actual tax burden of enterprises, this study shows that local governments have a trade-off of tax collection in the process of resolving the debt repayment pressure. The study finds that, in general, the expansion of local government debt has increased the actual tax burden of enterprises, which is mainly reflected in non-state-owned enterprises and enterprises that are collected and managed by the local tax department. The results of the mechanism test show that local debt pressure will encourage local governments to adjust the intensity of tax collection and tax incentives, and then increase the level of tax burden of enterprises in the jurisdiction. Furthermore, the heterogeneity test that distinguishes the institutional environment shows that there are significant differences in the taxation behavior of local governments and the impact of the corporate tax burden in different regions. Specifically, the strict tax behavior of local governments is more significant in regions with better institutional environment, while regions with worse institutional environment, due to the lack of market competitiveness, are more inclined to provide a relaxed tax collection environment to enterprises in their jurisdiction, so as to stabilize the tax base and resolve debts through long-term tax growth. In the context of unbalanced regional development, this study provides empirical evidence that the expansion of local debt affects the taxation behavior of local governments, and then affects the actual tax burden of enterprises in the jurisdiction, which is helpful to understand the government behavior during the transition period of developing countries, and provides policy implications for improving the public debt management system, creating a fair tax environment, and promoting high-quality economic growth.

What makes you proactive can burn you out: The downside of proactive skill building motivated by financial precarity and fear.

Proactivity at work is generally assumed to be preceded by positive motivational states with positive outcomes for employees. However, recent perspectives suggest downsides to proactive behavior, including that it can be driven by negative emotions or experienced as depleting for employees. Bringing these previously disconnected ideas together, we utilize cognitive-motivational-relational and self-determination theories to holistically examine the negative antecedents of proactivity and its outcomes. We argue that employees, particularly those with high impression management motives, experience burnout when financial precarity and fear drive them to proactively learn new skills. We test and show support for these hypotheses in a four-wave study of 1,315 university employees during the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, an external event that threatened employees' financial security. Theoretically, our findings broaden our understanding of the antecedents and consequences of proactivity, while expanding the role of fear at work beyond "flight" responses to include motivating protective effort. Practically, our findings help to understand both how employees proactively develop their skills in light of financial precarity and how these proactive efforts are experienced as depleting.

Analysis of the Economic and Environmental Policy of Ukrainian Defence Industry Enterprises

Introduction. The regulation of economic and environmental impacts of the entire military-industrial complex is a cross-sectoral and international problem. At the same time, research in this area is rather fragmented, which reduces the effectiveness of systematic reviews of the security and defence sector in the context of the green economy. The relevance of the issue of greening the defence industry is significantly enhanced by the need to regulate and operate domestic defence industries in the context of the country's military operations.
 Aim and tasks. The aim of the study is to substantiate the economic mechanism for regulating the greening of enterprises of the defence industry of Ukraine.
 Results. The economic and environmental security requirements for defence industry enterprises are studied, as the activity of polluting sources of enterprises, including defence enterprises in Ukraine, has generally decreased, in 2021, emissions of pollutants into the atmosphere from stationary sources decreased by 9.0% compared to 2020, to almost 2.2 million tonnes, ammunition was disposed of (235.29 thousand tonnes of ammunition were disposed of from 2014 to 2020) and liquid rocket fuel (16.7 thousand tonnes of melange). In 2021, enterprises, organisations and institutions spent UAH 41.3 billion on environmental protection, compared to UAH 43.7 billion in 2020. Of the total environmental costs in 2021, 68% were current expenses and 32% were capital investments. The strategic directions of greening the defence industry enterprises have been identified, including the introduction of resource-saving technologies, environmental monitoring of environmental impact and reduction of the negative impact of the defence industry units.
 Conclusion. The realisation of the greening potential will help protect the country's natural resource potential under the influence of the defence industry. A system of measures should be developed to ensure the protection and restoration of natural systems at a certain cost. Given the importance of the defence industry for the country in the context of current external threats and armed conflicts in certain parts of the territory, it is necessary to develop a strategic vision of environmental security with the involvement of all relevant organisations and taking into account the degree of responsibility and motivation for eco-oriented management.

Influence of Forester Traits and Advising Approaches on Landowners’ Intention to Follow Recommendations About Maple Sugarbush Management among Sap Producers in Wisconsin

Abstract The maple syrup industry has growth potential in the United States. Foresters can help expand the maple syrup industry by supporting private forest management decisions to improve maple tree health and sap production. This study examined the influence of advice solicitation, active listening, and forester traits (i.e., expertise, confidence, trustworthiness, shared forestland values) on outcomes of professional advice about maple syrup production and sugarbush management. Regression models were used to analyze data from a survey targeted at Wisconsin maple syrup producers (n = 149). Compared with unsolicited advice, advice outcomes were more positive when landowners actively sought it, although advice solicitation had a stronger influence on perceived quality of advice than advice utilization. Landowners evaluated advice more positively and had greater intention to use the advice when the forester actively listened to them. Perceiving positive traits in the forester has the strongest impact on landowners’ evaluations and adoption of advice. Study Implications: By examining the role of forester traits, giving (un)solicited advice, and active listening in affecting private forest landowners’ perceptions and use of advice about maple syrup production and sugarbush management, this study informs the design of training programs aimed at equipping foresters with effective communication skills. To achieve optimal communication outcomes, foresters should tactfully create the perception that the landowner requested their advice, such as by eliciting questions and encouraging landowners to explain their management motivations. Further, foresters should demonstrate expertise, show confidence, build trust, and create compatible management philosophies with the landowner by acknowledging the landowner’s perspectives.
