ANALISIS EMPLOYEE ENGAGEMENT, KOMITMEN ORGANISASI, DAN ROTASI KERJA TERHADAP KINERJA

Every organization wants to have employees with work results that continue to increase. If there is an increase in employee performance, it will have a good impact on organizational performance. The purpose of this study is to understand the effect of employee engagement, organizational commitment, and job rotation on employee performance. The population and sample used were 47 employees of BKPSDM Pamekasan Regency. Data were obtained through distributing questionnaires and processed by utilizing Smart Partial Least Square (SmartPLS) software. This study proves that the level of employee performance is positively influenced by employee engagement, organizational commitment, and job rotation on employee performance. Employees who have a sense of attachment, uphold commitment in the organization, and have a high chance of rotation will make the performance deployed by employees increase.

A reading of 'place attachment' in spatial perception: The case of KTU department of architecture

The concept of space, the fundamental object of architecture, is perceived through sensory experiences, with prior spatial experiences playing a significant role in this process. Cultural diversity leads to variations in the spatial behavior of societies in different geographies, meaning that individuals experiencing the same structure may connect space, meaning, and place in diverse ways. This research builds upon Edward Relph’s Place and Placelessness, which examines the phenomenological dis-course on "how places are experienced and how they change." It focuses on the concept of "place attachment," defined as the emotional, cognitive, and behavioral bond formed at the intersection of the experiencing body and the experienced space. The Architecture Department at KTU, recognized for its accessibility and its role in training students proficient in architectural terminology and skilled in designing future spaces, has been selected as the focus of this study. The research aimed to derive semantic interpretations of the physical, emotional, and social dimensions of place, following the three categories Relph used in his analysis of place. A semi-structured interview technique with predetermined open-ended questions was employed, and participants were asked to create memory maps based on the building plan. Data analysis provided insights into how users perceived the study area, identifying spaces where a sense of attachment was strong. Conversely, areas perceived as "non-places," evoking a sense of being "out of place," were highlighted. Suggestions were offered for improving such negative spaces and guiding future research.

Gambaran Self-Compassion pada Wanita yang Pernah Mengalami Dating Violence: Sebuah Pendekatan Fenomenologi

Dating violence is a form of abuse in a relationship that can have harmful physical and psychological impacts on one partner. Gender inequality due to patriarchal culture, along with the sense of attachment that often develops in women, makes them more vulnerable to becoming victims of dating violence. Self-compassion, which focuses on being kind to yourself and accepting pain as part of the human experience, can be used as a mechanism to help people cope with the traumatic experiences caused by dating violence. This study aims to describe self-compassion in women who have experienced dating violence using a qualitative method and a phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, and purposive sampling was used to select 5 female participants, all of whom were college students who had experienced dating violence. Data analysis was carried out using a coding technique to identify the main themes related to the participants' self-compassion after experiencing dating violence. The findings showed that 2 out of 5 participants exhibited positive self-compassion. This was shown in their ability to recover after experiencing dating violence, where they could show care and concern for themselves during the difficult post-breakup phase while also giving themselves the necessary positive affirmations. Furthermore, the participants initiated productive activities to improve their self-worth and confidence. This positive self-compassion played an important role in facilitating the psychological and emotional recovery from the inner wounds caused by the abusive relationship.

Geo-Phenomenology: A Qualitative and Humanistic GIS Approach to Exploring Lived Experience

Critical discussions are developing to combine geographic information systems (GIS) and qualitative methods as an alternative approach to traditional quantitative GIS, but the possibility of integrating spatial information technology and phenomenology is still unknown. This study explores a new qualitative and humanistic GIS approach called geo-phenomenology. It attempts to improve the ability to validate and authenticate findings and to gain a holistic understanding of the complex interplay among space, place, and human emotion through a combination of phenomenology, natural language processing methods, and GIS. To illustrate this approach, this study focuses on international students and examines the effects of geographic mobility on individuals’ sense of attachment and belonging. Importantly, it allows for a more sensitive approach to the spatial scale of material culture as a mediator of sense of place. The overlay of emotional mapping and land use provided a perspective for narrative interpretation and hypothesis building, ultimately leading to the discovery of key evidence determining the main themes of international students’ sense of place attachment and belonging. By combining quantitative emotion detection with qualitative phenomenological interpretation in GIS, this study concludes that geo-phenomenology can help us consider the rich nuances of lifeworlds from multiple perspectives.

THE IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY FOR CONSERVING CULTURAL HERITAGE IN SOUTHERN ALGERIA: A CASE STUDY OF THE M'ZAB VALLEY

The M'Zab Valley, located in Ghardaïa in southern Algeria, was classified by UNESCO as a world heritage site in 1982. The M'Zab valley has benefited from numerous restoration, rehabilitation, and consolidation projects to ensure the preservation of its monuments and historical sites. This article focuses on social sustainability, a key element of sustainable development and a crucial component of cultural heritage protection. The study aims to identify and assess social sustainability in two fortified villages (Ksour) in the M'Zab Valley. The research uses the case study method in the M'Zab valley's unique social context, taking into account several indicators: social networking, safety, and security, sense of attachment, quality of the home, and quality of life, measured through a survey of 200 households. Results show that the indicator that locals value most is “quality of housing”, whereas “participation” is less significant. Only 5.0% of residents of Al-Atteuf and 7.0% of those in Beni-Isguen express a need to leave or change residences. This article also contributes to highlighting the Mozabite community's advantages and challenges, especially after the social and cultural changes that society has undergone.

Social network type contributes to purpose in life among older people, mediated by social support

A sense of Purpose in Life is an important aspect of ageing well which is related to older adult’s social relationships. Social network types and the different sources of support they provide are theorized here as a pathway to maintaining a sense of purpose as we age. The study utilized a population sample from the 2016 and 2020 NZ Health, Work, and Retirement (NZHWR) longitudinal survey waves; N = 2869 (mean age of 65.82 years (SD = 6.40). A structural equation model investigated the relationship between Social Network Type and Purpose in Life and the mediating role of Social Support. The final model had a good fit to the data and explained 33.7% of the variance in Purpose in Life. Private, Self-Contained and Family Dependent network types (2016) were negatively related to Purpose in Life 4 years later (2020). Support from sense of Attachment, Reassurance of Worth, Reliable Alliance and Social Integration played a mediating role between Social Network type and Purpose in Life. These findings highlight the importance of social networks in maintaining a sense of purpose among older adults and highlight pathways for the types of networks, and kinds of social support they offer, which contribute to a sense of purpose in life. They underscore the importance of social support for the well-being of older adults and highlight the need to consider the quality and type of social networks and support they provide, when designing interventions to enhance well-being.

INTERNAL MIGRANTS IN THE PERCEPTION OF THE HOST POPULATION OF KAZAKHSTANI CITIES

The purpose of this article is to identify and comparatively analyze the perception of internal migrants by representatives of the host urban society. In the study, a series of focus groups were conducted in three cities to collect data, namely, Astana, Almaty and Shymkent. Discussion questions focused on the following topics: the image of the city in the minds of residents; urban identity, sense of attachment and urban culture; attitudes towards internal migration and internal migrants; practices of interaction with internal migrants. The article presents some results of the research project IRN AP09058370 “Social integration of internal migrants into the local community of large cities: social networks, social capital and development of urban space”, funded by the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The results of the study show that residents of the three cities understand the processes of internal migration, which they regard as a natural phenomenon. In the cities, there is a division into «us» and «them», distancing citizens from internal migrants. The findings can be further used to forecast and adopt certain measures in migration and urban policy.

SUSTAINING LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP THROUGH LOVE, TRUST, AND DEDICATION AMONG MARRIED COUPLES

Today’s socio-economic aspects often shape the diverse family dynamics in which couples opt for long-distance marriages that require them to live separately and apart to earn better incomes. Living separately and away are certainly a challenge that requires appropriate action between the long-distance marriage couples. This study examines how love, trust, and commitment help married couples maintain their long-distance relationships. The importance of those three feelings in determining the continuation of marriages was the focus of the long-distance relationship factor. A total of 110 married couples living apart were the subject of the study in which intimacy, passion, and commitment comprised the three love-related dimensions that were measured. While commitment included the intention to persist, a sense of attachment, and a long-term perspective, trust was scored on a single domain. The Triangular Love Scale measured the love variable, the Dyadic Trust Scale gauged trust, the Investment Model Scale (IMS) measured commitment (Rusbult, Martz, & Agnew, 1998), and the Relationship Maintenance Scale evaluated marital maintenance. Passion (r =.294**, k.002) and trust (r =.249**, k.001) were found to have significant positive relationships with marital maintenance while only the commitment domain for long-term orientation had a similar relationship with marital maintenance (r =.199*, k.002). Therefore, the findings suggest that long-term commitment orientation, passion, and trust are likely to promote distance-separated married couples preserve their marriages. The implication is that those three facets are key drivers in preserving and enhancing long-distance marriage bonds among such couples.

공유경제 서비스에 대한 지속이용의도 형성: 심리적소유감의 매개효과를 중심으로

Sharing economy emerges as an attractive alternative to the traditional ownership-based economy. Just like other new successful initiatives in the marketplace, it is essential for sharing economy to induce continued usage from those consumers who have tried it out. This study postulates perceived usefulness and the sense of attachment as antecedents of psychological ownership and investigates whether these factors make meaningful influences upon one’s continued usage of a sharing economy service. Data collection was carried out by using self-reported survey method who had used carsharing services at least once within a previous year. Findings of the study were encouraging as consumers were found to perceive sharing economy in a positive way after using it. Both perceived usefulness and the sense attachment had a direct, positive effect on continuance intention of the carsharing service. In addition, both perceived usefulness and attachment had indirect influences on their continuance intention through the mediation of psychological ownership. Finally, psychological ownership is found to exert a strong, direct influence upon one’s continuance intention. These findings suggest that one’s intention to patron the sharing economy is founded upon both rational and emotional factors. Such findings of the study suggest meaningful implications for both academics and practitioners.

Examining the Psychological Sense of School Membership among the Basic School Students

Studies on Psychological Sense of School Membership (PSSM) have been widespread globally for three decades. However, it has not been discussed in the context of Nepali schools’ education. A positive sense of belongingness to schools among the students is essential to foster their good academic achievement as well as their mental health. Furthermore, it also increases students’ motivation and peer adjustment. This study uncovers the sense of school belongingness of grade eight students in community schools in Nepal employing a descriptive survey design under quantitative research. The five points PSSM scale, a valid and widely used measurement scale, has been used to examine the students’ perceptions about their school membership. Four major concepts have emerged from the data analysis: sense of attachment with school, sense of acceptance, sense of school ownership, and sense of respect and honour. Results revealed that students lack a strong sense of membership towards their school although they have feelings of attachment with their school. While students have a strong perceived sense of school ownership, they feel of being a weaker relationship with their teachers. Therefore, the study has immediate application to create awareness about the psychological sense of school membership among students and PSSM into academic discourse so that the Ministry of Education can initiate the necessary measures for improved students’ learning.

Veteran social identity, partisanship, and political behavior

ABSTRACT What does it mean to be a veteran, and how does serving in the armed forces condition how veterans view their sense of identity? In a national survey sample with an oversample of veterans, I find that veterans have a stronger sense of identity as a veteran, measured in terms of self-identification as both a veteran and a feeling of closeness to the veteran group, compared to civilians. I also find that, among military veterans, combat experience and valuing time in the military leads to higher veteran identity. Moreover, I find that even some non-military members report a greater sense of identity with veterans than others. I compare the effect of this “veteran” identity to that of partisan identity and find that, for most veterans, there is a greater sense of attachment to the veteran identity than to their partisan identity. Finally, I find that veteran identity has an important, independent influence on veterans’ and civilians’ views on military spending. These findings suggest that there is a veteran identity that military members and civilians attach themselves to that is stronger than partisanship for some individuals and is associated with certain policy positions.

Factors Contributing to the Stability of the Farmer Producer Organisations: A Study in West Bengal

The study was conducted to assess the stability of Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) and the factors contributing to the stability of FPOs in West Bengal during 2020. Using random sampling procedure, data were collected from 120 farmer members from ten FPOs from four districts of the state namely Birbhum, Murshidabad, Purba Bardhaman and Nadia through personal interview method. For measuring the stability of FPOs, stability index was developed taking mutual trust, role clarity of the members, level of involvement of members in group works, satisfaction of the members, sense of attachment and conviction and sense of ownership as the indicators. The significant difference between the mean scores of stability index of high and low performing FPOs were observed with respect to the dimensions like satisfaction of the members, mutual trust, role clarity and sense of attachment and conviction. Attitude of members towards their FPO and cooperation were found to be significant contributor in developing better group stability within a high performing FPO. Attitude towards FPO, assimilation and competition were found to be the reliable predictors for the variance in group stability in low performing FPOs.

Employee Satisfaction and Its’ Impact on Organizational Commitment: A Resource Based Approach

Satisfaction of employees and commitment in Nationalized Commercial Banks (NCBs) is of highest concern due to the nature of organizations in Bangladesh. This study directed to assess the influence of employee satisfaction of work on three levels of firms’ commitment such as affective, continuance and normative commitment within NCBs in Bangladesh. The cross-sectional research design is followed in this investigation. Quantitative survey research was carried out and the sample of 100 employees filled up the questionnaire from four NCBs in Khulna City. The outcomes revealed that the employees’ satisfaction is completely related with Affective Commitment (AC). Furthermore, the Continuance Commitment (CC) of employees is significantly predicted by employee satisfaction at the workplace. Finally, the outcomes also show how the Normative Commitment (NC) of employees is positively impacted by their work satisfaction. Owing to research design, caution was taken in making the results’ generalization. The present study might be of interest and practice for banks in formulating strategic Human Resource Management Policies. Because it considers how managers or bosses, or experts understand their employees’ sense of attachment toward a particular organization. This study also highlighted the bank management practices’ nature and significance for the sustainability of the banking sector.

Fishy childhoods in space and time: intergenerational continuities and changes

ABSTRACT This article is based on research conducted in a small fishing community in Cyprus. It seeks to explore through an intergenerational and biographical approach how three generations of Greek Cypriot males belonging to fishing families create a meaningful sense of identity through their attachment to place and the fishing profession. The article analyses these three generations’ childhood experiences, their social relationships and the processes of learning and knowledge transmission at work, to trace inter- and intra-generational changes and continuities and to offer a more nuanced understanding of the younger generation’s sense of identity and belonging in light of ongoing structural changes. Findings pinpoint the centrality of place – land and sea – in all generations’ sense of belonging and a strong sense of attachment to fishing which is, however, impacting the younger generation’s professional orientations at an emotional level, given that fishing is no longer viable as a profession.

A Posthumanist Reading of Geological Agency in “The Domain of Arnheim”

ABSTRACT This article proposes a posthumanist reading of Edgar Allan Poe’s story of “The Domain of Arnheim” and argues that posthumanism redefines the narrator’s sense of attachment to the shared world. The first part of the article compares two styles of landscape-gardening and the preference of the posthumanist model over the anthropocentric model implies the narrator’s endeavor to build a new relationship with the environment in which multiple species form a respectful and harmonious symbiosis. To reach this posthumanist world, the narrator proposes the descent of anthropocentrism and ascent of non-human agency. The insertion of human history into the evolutionary time of the Earth repositions men in the world and amplifies human awareness of geological forces of nature. Together the cooperation of human beings and geological agents have created an idealized landscape-garden.
