Peran Guru Pendidikan Agama Islam dan Budi Pekerti dalam Membentuk Perilaku Sosial Siswa SMA Negeri 1 Waru

This study explores the role of exemplary Islamic religious education teachers and morals in shaping students’ social behavior at SMA Negeri 1 Waru. Using a qualitative field approach with descriptive-qualitative-phenomenological methods, the findings highlight that teachers significantly influence students' attitudes and behavior by serving as role models. Teachers are not only educators of religious material but also exemplify integrity, noble morals, and responsibility, inspiring students to develop character traits such as integrity, responsibility, and social care. This is evident in vertical interactions with God, such as congregational prayers and dhikr, which enhance students’ spiritual awareness, and in social interactions, characterized by politeness, collaboration, and mutual support, creating a positive learning environment. Supporting factors include teacher integrity, parental involvement, peer influence, and school facilities and regulations that strengthen social behavior development. However, challenges arise from students’ diverse backgrounds and external global influences, requiring concerted efforts to promote exemplification among stakeholders. Ultimately, the role of teachers as role models not only shapes individual student behavior but also fosters a positive school environment and strengthens the school community at SMA Negeri 1 Waru.

The ethical component of the lawyer’s legal status

The article presents the results of the author’s study of the place of lawyer ethics in the system of elements of the lawyer’s legal status. Systematic analysis of established international standards and legal positions of the European Court of Human Rights indicate the decisive role of lawyer ethics in the formation of the authority of the lawyer profession and public trust in it. However, they are generally absorbed by the authority of justice in the state, the burden of ensuring which rests not only on the court, but also on the lawyer as one of the participants in the legal process. The unworthy behavior of these subjects discredits the idea of justice, which gives a special theoretical and practical meaning to ethics. That is why a lawyer must be moral and ethically oriented. This is supported by a set of ethical obligations and responsibility. However, in domestic scientific doctrine, the approach prevails, according to which the legal status of a lawyer includes such elements as: professional rights and duties, the lawyer’s responsibility and guarantees of his professional activity. At the same time, some scientists note the ethical nature of a lawyer’s professional duties. The ethical nature of a lawyer’s professional duties is closely related to the independent and autonomous character of a lawyer’s professional activity. Its effectiveness depends on his own ideas, personal views and understanding of such categories as conscience, justice, responsibility to others, as well as beliefs about proper behavior. Therefore, ethics is the immanent basis of a lawyer’s duties. However, it is not limited to them. Ethics determines not only the moral basis of his duties, but also his rights and guarantees of activity, because the latter are directly related to certain privileges. And in this aspect, the presence of certain advantages should be justified not only by the specifics of a person’s professional status, the tasks he performs, but also by the presence of high moral values and guidelines. In addition, as follows from the practice of the ECHR, ethics in relation to a lawyer regulates a much broader category than rights, duties, or guarantees. We are talking about the behavior of a lawyer, which includes not only the traditional elements of his legal status, but also such manifestations as gestures, facial reactions, intonation of statements, etc. As a result, it was concluded that ethics is a necessary and mandatory component of the legal status of a lawyer. Being immanently inherent in its components such as rights, duties, responsibilities, guarantees of professional activity, which in the relationship and interaction form a single system, ethics is not absorbed by them and deserves to take a separate place in it.

The Ethical Role of Generative Artificial Intelligence in Modern HR Decision-Making: A Systematic Literature Review

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has led to the recognition of tools like ChatGPT and its potential to transform human resource (HR) management processes, particularly in decision-making. This review study aims to assess the effectiveness and benefits of ChatGPT in enhancing HR functions, particularly decision-making, and to identify any challenges and ethical considerations involved. Additionally, the study seeks to establish a hybrid framework that combines AI-driven decision-making with human oversight. A systematic literature review was conducted using PRISMA guidelines, selecting 50 articles from Scopus and Google Scholar databases. The literature review includes a synthesis analysis to assess publication trends and a keyword analysis to identify key themes such as ChatGPT’s impact on decision-making in HR management. The study reveals that ChatGPT can streamline HR processes, improve communication, and support personalized learning and decision-making, eventually contributing to enhanced performance and engagement. However, the technology requires human input for moral judgment and empathy, presenting challenges like resistance to adoption, algorithmic bias, and data privacy concerns. This study uniquely contributes to the literature by providing a systematic analysis of ChatGPT’s role in HR decision-making and proposing a hybrid framework that addresses AI’s limitations through ethical guidelines and human oversight. The findings emphasize the need for empirical research in larger, diverse settings and future enhancements to ChatGPT’s contextual understanding of HR.

Moral dilemmas and the Not in my backyard (NIMBY) dilemma: Roles of ethics, empathy, and relational mobility

Exploring the Morality of Tax Morale

ABSTRACTTax morale, commonly measured as a moral evaluation of cheating on taxes, is important for shaping policy to increase voluntary compliance. Although tax morale is commonly understood as citizens' moral responsibility to pay taxes, there is a dearth of empirical research on whether and how differences in basic morality shape tax morale. Three studies investigated associations between moral ideals, as defined by Moral Foundations Theory, and tax morale. Study 1 (N = 103,474; 57 countries) examined how national differences in moral foundations predict individuals' tax morale. Study 2 (N = 1019) and Study 3 (N = 1001) focused on individual‐level differences. All studies employed multiverse analyses, iterating through multiple combinations of control variables. Despite the apparent semantic similarities between morality and tax morale, consistent empirical connections emerged only with respect to individualising foundations, in particular, fairness. Findings provide first evidence for the role of morality in tax morale, while contributing to a better understanding of why people pay taxes.

사이버불링의 남녀별 주 위험요인과 도덕성의 완충작용

This study aims to examine gender differences in effects of two risk factors cyberbullying victimization and association with cyberbullying peers for explaining cyberbullying perpetration, focusing on the different buffering roles of morality. This study examines whether the effect of cyberbullying victimization is significant in male and the effect of association with cyberbullying peer is significant in female. In addition, it also examined whether morality significantly buffers the direct effects of two risk factors across gender. Drawing on the analysis of the data from 256 college students, the result shows that the effects of both cyberbullying victimization and association with cyberbullying peers are significant for both males and females. However, we found a gender difference in their moderated buffering effects with morality. It is shown that morality significantly buffers the effect of association with cyberbullying peers for females, while it significantly buffers the effect of cyberbullying victimization for males. We discuss theoretical implications on the gender difference in the buffering roles of morality.

Терапевтична функція художнього образу: поетика біблійних образів Сергія Жадана

This article delineates the specific therapeutic function of art in general and the artistic image in particular. Their therapeutic and compensatory potential is examined within philosophical and literary discourses. The discussion engages with Plato’s reflections on the educational and moral role of art and Aristotle’s theory concerning the cathartic effects of tragedy. Contributions from V. Maggi, S. Haupt, G. Lehnert, E. Zeller, E. Müller, and J. Bernays are considered. The study explores Friedrich Nietzsche’s notion of the receptive-compensatory function of art, particularly the reconciliation of Apollonian and Dionysian principles. Sigmund Freud’s concepts are interpreted in relation to the unconscious and the interaction between individuals and art during periods of epistemological crisis. Roman Ingarden’s perspective emphasises the therapeutic aim of literature when there is a corresponding receptive inquiry from the reader. Key ideas from reception aesthetics are foregrounded, highlighting art’s capacity to act as a medium of transcendence, influence the reader, and underpin the therapeutic effects of art and literature. Hans Robert Jauss’s concepts of the “horizon of expectations” and catharsis as a communicative dimension of aesthetic experience are revisited. Wolfgang Iser’s analysis of aesthetic experience in addressing gaps of indeterminacy is examined, alongside Umberto Eco’s insights on receptive indeterminacy as a defining feature of the “open work”, which catalyses co-creation by the recipient, stimulating imagination, fostering empathy, and providing intellectual therapy. The study also considers the therapeutic potential of sacred images during periods of radical epistemological shifts prompted by cataclysms, historical events, revolutions, or wars. Mircea Eliade’s framework of the “sacred-profane” dichotomy and the capacity of sacred images to function as points of transcendence, transcendent centres, or ontological anchors is discussed. Paul Ricoeur’s interpretation of the therapeutic influence of sacred motifs, images, and symbols on readers as they engage with existential questions is also addressed. Finally, the therapeutic role of biblical imagery – God, the Virgin Mary, Jesus Christ, Mary Magdalene, and the Apostle Thomas – is analysed through the lens of Serhiy Zhadan’s poetry collection “Life of Maria” (2015).
