Student Heavy Work Investment, Burnout, and Their Antecedents: The Case of Serbia

The objective of this study is to propose a model including antecedents of student Heavy Work Investment (HWI) and burnout based on the model developed by Snir and Harpaz (2012). Our data source was the survey of 1,640 students of the University of Belgrade. Student HWI is evaluated through its two dimensions, time commitment and work intensity, and student burnout through its four dimensions: personal, studies-related, teachers-related and colleagues-related burnout. The antecedents or predictor variables are chosen in the wake of prior research, being categorised into three groups – internal/dispositional (student work engagement), external/situational (perceived course load, tuition payment source and achievement-related family pressure) and background (gender). The effect of HWI on student burnout is also examined. Our results are synthesized in a holistic model showing the direct effect of HWI-TC (time commitment) on HWI-WI (work intensity). Tuition payment source is shown to be the only common predictor for all the examined constructs, and HWI is shown to have negative consequences on all four dimensions of burnout. Eight model validity indices confirm the validity of the proposed model. In conclusion, our results can be used to develop the academic programmes with optimal estimated work investment, diminishing the chance of student burnout by calibrating work intensity and work engagement.

Expert System in the Installment Tuition Payment System Using the Weighted Product Method (Case Study at Dharma Andalas University)

Dharma Andalas University is a change in form from the Dharma Andalas Higher School of Economics (STIE). Dharma Andalas University is one of the private universities in the city of Padang which is under the auspices of the Andalas Dharma Education Foundation (YPDA) which is directly fostered by the Andalas University alumni association. Dharma Andalas University is a private university so operational costs come from student tuition fees. Payment of tuition fees is an obligation of every student, considering that tuition fees are quite expensive, Dharma Andalas University provides relief for students to make tuition payments in installments. The purpose of this study is to assist the leadership in making a decision to pay installments using the Weighted Product method. In this study, the data processed is the data of students who apply for installment tuition payments at Dharma Andalas University. The data processing is to determine the criteria for each alternative by multiplying for attribute match reting, then rank with the attribute weight value which results in the vector value V, then the vector value V is ranked from the highest value to the lowest value where the highest value will be prioritized. Furthermore compared to the manual calculation method with a system that has been made, the results are the same with an accuracy rate of 100%, so that it can be recommended to the leadership to help make decisions about the payment of tuition installments.

INFORMATION SYSTEM OF TUITION AND THESIS PAYMENT VERIFICATION WITH ADAPTIVE LAYOUT DESIGN

The verification system of tuition and thesis payment at ISB Atma Luhur which is running is felt to be less effective and efficient because students must come directly to campus with proof of payment during working hours to verify the payment. Also, there is the possibility of negligence by the finance department that only stamped the payment slip without doing a flag, consequently, related students were unable to carry out the selection of lecture groups and thesis supervisors when the schedule began. This caused them to not get the favorite lecture groups and thesis supervisors because the quota had run out. To overcome this problem, an information system for verification of tuition payment and web-based thesis verification will be developed with an adaptive layout design so that it can be accessed by laptop or smartphone users without reducing comfort during operation. The system development model and tool used in this research are the waterfall model and the Unified Modeling Language (UML), respectively. The developed system can be used by students to upload proof of payment and monitor the verification status of proof of payment that was previously uploaded. The system can also be used by the finance department to verify payments, as well as display and print payment verification reports. The developed system can be accessed anywhere and anytime so that the efficiency and effectiveness of the verification process are increased.

ANALYSIS OF STUDENT TUITION FEE PAY DELAY PREDICTION USING NAIVE BAYES ALGORITHM WITH PARTICLE SWARM OPTIMATION OPTIMAZATION (CASE STUDY : POLITEKNIK TEDC BANDUNG)

One source of funds that plays a very important role in education or teaching and learning activities is the Donation of Education Development or tuition fee. The problem faced by TEDC Polytechnic of Bandung is based on historical data from the financial department there are still many students who are late in making tuition payments, for that the authors make an analysis in predicting late payment of fees by using the Naive Bayes algorithm which is compared with Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) with the purpose of determining the classification pattern is right or late and to find out what indicators most influence the prediction of late payment of tuition fee. In testing the author uses 115 datasets from the results of a questionnaire filled out by students and these testing these divided into three models, the first is testing using the entire dataset and all attributes of the questionnaire results, the second test is done by using the entire dataset based on Particle Swarm Optimation (PSO), as well as the third test carried out using a dataset using the attributes that most influence to the prediction of late tuition payment. Off the 13 indicators, there are only 8 indicators that are most influential in predicting late payment of tuition fee, namely father's income, number of dependents of parents, pocket money / month, financial services, academic services, study programs, payment methods for tuition payment, and mother's occupation. The testing result of those three classification models using the highest Naive Bayes accuracy algorithm are testing using the Naive Bayes algorithm based on Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), with an accuracy of 73.94%, precision 78.50%, 69% recall, and AUC 0.771 , even though the execution time is 3 seconds longer.

The sample being tested was the data of 100 vocational students from various classes and various majors and divided into two categories. From this experiment, it can be seen that the most accurate K value is the value of K = 1, 3 and 4. The accuracy of the testing data generated is 94.9%.

Advertising and Public Relations Professional Education in the Regions of Russia: Educational Organizations Branding Issues

Introduction. The Russian higher education market in the sphere of Public Relations and Advertising is represented in the paper. The basic approach to the market is shaped by the vision on higher education in the frame of service paradigm. The need to analyze and implement professional communication activities while promoting university education organizations is stressed by the authors. A special attention is put to the necessity of professional communication technologies, such as branding, their application to universities, because it influence such institutions managerial efficiency, helps to systemize a share of their voice, and it is already the necessity for the present day society.Methodology and sources. Theoretical and methodological basis of the paper was composed by scientific works of Russian researchers in the field of university branding, brand-management, including papers on Russian Federation regional universities branding. Empirical study base was designed by materials of regional leading universities, which give higher education in PR and Advertising. Underlying rationale for defining the leadership were the following: number of state-funded student places; 1st year students’ unified national exam results; the dynamics of prospective students in PR and Advertising on tuition payment basis enrollment. Russian regions, the most of enrollees are coming from to Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University, were also unveiled. The elements of value-based branding platforms of departments responsible for Public Relations and Advertising education in regional leading higher education institutions are also brought in focus.Results and discussion. Empirical study revealed that PR and Advertising education departments of the universities studied did not fulfill their scientific and methodological potential in practice to the full extent. The education institutions examined in the research mostly communicate their objective quantitative indicators positioning Public Relations and Advertising education rather than core value messages. Thus it does not seem possible to typify these communication components as examples of branding process and brand element of university. It would help to structure the market share and influence positively on university promotion.Conclusion. Following the results of the study the authors conclude the necessity to apply communication technologies of brand development and brand management for structuring the market share and influencing positively on university promotion. It directly impacts on education institutions managerial efficiency and proves its relevance to modern society.

Appellate decision in bankruptcy case creates financial risks for higher ed institutions

In November 2019, the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals decided in In re Palladino, No. 17‐1334 (11/12/19, U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals), that a bankruptcy trustee may claw back from a college or university tuition payments by the parents of an adult child if the payments were made within two years of the filing of a bankruptcy petition and the parents were insolvent at that time. The court specifically refused to address whether it would reach the same outcome if the child was a minor at the time the payments were made.

IMPLEMENTASI BSM PEMBAYARAN INSTITUSI MELALUI MANDIRI SYARIAH MOBILE DI UNIVERSITAS IBN KHALDUN BOGOR

<p><em>The development of digital banking is expanding and developing at any time to facilitate community activities and make time efficient. In implementing this, Bank Syariah Mandiri is present by providing BSM Institutional Payment (BPI) operational services that function as an institutional bill payment system that can be done through Bank Mandiri Syariah e-channels including Mandiri Syariah Mobile. One institution that cooperates in institutional payment services is the University. During the admission of new school year students and the change of new semesters, as well as the increasing case of Covid-19, banks and universities worked together on this service to reduce physical contact with many people in receiving tuition payments. Before implementation, the University needs to submit an application to the nearest branch office which is then forwarded to the head office so that it can be immediately implemented. Implementation of BSM Institutional Payments at the University of Ibn Khaldun Bogor is arguably still small, because students are still accustomed to manually paying by cash deposit.</em></p>

The Economic Benefits of Malaysian University Degrees

AbstractThis study analyzes the net returns of educational investment in Malaysia using the net present value approach. The estimations consider the tuition payments of nine different bachelor degree programs of public and private universities in Malaysia and the forgone earnings while undertaking the degree programs as the cost of investments in human capital. The returns to education investment are based on the expected income accrued by the individual over the employment period until retirement. Under the assumptions that an individual would work until the retirement age of 60 years and a discount rate of 4 percent, the estimations show that holding a computer science degree from Universiti Sains Malaysia would give the highest net present value. Holding a medical degree, in general, would give the lowest net returns on educational investment as compared to the other selected programs. The net returns are sensitive to the costs of education, earnings and the duration of undertaking the degree programs.Keywords: Human capital investment, net present value, private rate of return, educational investment, Malaysian degree programmes

The Effects of Acculturative Stress, Career Stress, and Social Support on Depression in Korean International Students in China

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the level of acculturative stress, career stress, social support and depression, and identify factors affecting depression among Korean international students in China. Methods: Data were collected from 157 Korean students studying in undergraduate, graduate, students exchange programs and language training courses in G university, J university, and S university in G city, Guangdong Province, China, from September 1 to October 27, 2017. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. Results: The mean acculturative stress was 62.24±18.08 out of 165, whereas the mean career stress was 65.47±19.79 out of 125. The mean social support was 95.03±14.64 out of 125, and the mean depression score was 13.83±9.24 out of 60. The factor that had the greatest effect on depression among the participants was acculturative stress (β=.26, p=.001), followed by career stress (β=.24, p=.002), frequency of weekly phone calls with family (β=.19, p=.006), source of tuition payment (β=.18, p=.009), and self-perceived health (β=.15, p=.040). The model explained 33% of the variance. Conclusion: It is necessary to develop depression prevention and management programs as well as a customized health promotion program that account for the factors identified to have an effect on depression, namely, acculturative stress, career stress, frequency of weekly phone calls with family, source of tuition payment, and self-perceived health, and increase awareness of depression among international students.

Tax Benefits, Higher Education and Race: A Gift Tax Proposal for Direct Tuition Payments

A tax system should be fair. According to conventional wisdom, this fairness mandate means that similarly situated taxpayers should pay similar taxes. Notably absent from most discussions about tax fairness or equity is any consideration of race. This makes sense, if one focuses on the tax laws’ facial neutrality, as well as the Internal Revenue Service’s failure to collect official data about the race of taxpayers. But if one is interested in equity among taxpayers, we must also examine to what extent different groups of taxpayers benefit from a Code section that reduces their tax liability. In the context of distributional equity, race and other identity characteristics must inform any analysis. This Article intervenes in this discussion with three principal claims: one descriptive, one normative, and one utilitarian. First, the Article uses data from the higher education sector to demonstrate that primarily wealthy, white taxpayers capture the most generous educational tax benefits. Black taxpayers appear to benefit the least from these tax provisions. Black college graduates have greater education-related debt (both in incidence and quantum) than any other group of their peers. Furthermore Black college graduates have lower average wages and higher rates of unemployment compared to their Asian, Hispanic/Latinx counterparts. Black families are the least likely to be able to contribute to a 529 college tuition savings program or to make tax-free, direct tuition payments. While Black college graduates and families can take advantage of some tax benefits for higher education, the greatest tax expenditures are for those that benefit whites. The Article next argues that achieving a more racially just society requires attention to the ways that tax laws exacerbate existing race-based economic inequality. This Article uses the example of the gift tax exemption for direct tuition payments to illustrate the ways that tax rules can exacerbate the racial wealth gap. In the context of any tax benefit statute, there are abundant opportunities for future research at the intersection of race and taxation. That work is made more difficult by the absence of readily available tax data on the basis of race, but other data sources can help fill the gaps. Finally, the Article proposes a test for evaluating the distributional equity of any tax exclusion or deduction that results in an understatement of the donor’s or decedent’s transfer of wealth. Unlike a wealth transfer that is considered an item of consumption, a wealth transfer that has concomitant lifelong benefits, such as direct tuition payments for education, should not be allowed to reduce the donor’s transfer tax base. In the case of wealth transfer taxes, a particular tax benefit is inequitable if (1) it has disparate impacts on the basis of race and (2) the benefit is inconsistent with the overall policy objective of imposing a gift tax on inter vivos transfers that create substantial capital-like advantages to the donee while simultaneously reducing the value of the transferor’s estate. The gift tax exemption for direct tuition payments fails both parts of this test and should be repealed.

The Evolution of Leakage and Retirement Asset Flows in the U.S.

This paper generates new, aggregate estimates of retirement savings flows in the U.S. from 2003 to 2015, and provides detailed estimates of leakage from tax-preferred retirement savings accounts to pre-retirement age individuals. We create a nationally-representative panel of individuals using a sample of administrative tax data with over 140 million person-year observations. These data contain information on retirement contributions, distributions, and transfers between accounts. We estimate that between 2003 and 2015 distributions from defined contribution plans and IRAs to individuals age 50 or younger were equal to 22 percent of the contributions made by this age group. When estimating the correlation between common life events and the probability of leakage, we find that job separations correspond with an increase in the probability of leakage of over 200 percent. Job separations generating the receipt of unemployment insurance (UI) -- a proxy for an involuntary job separation -- are associated with higher leakage than non-UI separations. Other types of events, such as income shocks, home purchases, and the onset of tuition payments are also associated with leakage.

MENGANALISIS KEMUNGKINAN KETERLAMBATAN PEMBAYARAN SPP DENGAN ALGORITMA C4.5 (STUDI KASUS POLITEKNIK TEDC BANDUNG)

Payment of tuition as one of the sources of funds, plays an important role in the sustainability of the operations of higher education. The problem that arises is that students are not often late to make payments in a timely manner. One of the factors causing the many cases of late payment of tuition fees due to lack of policy and decisive action on the part of the campus when students are late in making payments, besides the factors of parents and students also have an influence on the delay. The purpose of this study is to classify students who are late and timely in making SPP payments using the C4.5 algorithm. From the total sample used then divided into 4 partitions, partition 1 for 90% training data and 10% testing data, partition 2 for 80% training data and 20% testing data, and partition 3 for 70% training data and 30% testing data , and partition 4 for 60% training data and 40% testing data. The classification results of the C4.5 algorithm are evaluated and validated with cross validation and confusion matrix to determine the accuracy of the C4.5 algorithm in predicting late SPP payments. Based on the comparison of the results of evaluations and validations conducted, it shows that data partition 2 has a better level of accuracy than the other partitions, which is 75%.
