Cultural Clash: Investigating How Entrepreneural Characteristics and Culture Diffusion affect International Interns’ Competency

The world today is highly interconnected. To address the manpower shortage in Japan and the surplus in Indonesia 30 years ago, both countries developed an internship program, "Ginou Jisshu." During the internship, participants with Indonesian culture-based individual characteristics are exposed to Japanese work culture. This study aimed to investigate how interns' individual characteristics and their assimilation of Japanese work culture improve their competency and competitiveness, considering self-efficacy as a moderating factor. Using a quantitative research method, data from 400 internship alumni across 38 provinces in Indonesia were collected through Google Form questionnaires and analyzed using PLS-SEM. Out of 10 proposed hypotheses, all direct effect hypotheses were accepted, and 3 of the moderation hypotheses were accepted, while 2 were rejected. This study introduces a novel paradigm where any positive effect, regardless of statistical significance, is considered beneficial. It suggests that resolving issues, even minor ones, can amplify positive effects and mitigate negative effects. The findings reveal that individual characteristics and Japanese work culture positively affect competency and competitiveness, and competency further enhances competitiveness. Self-efficacy strengthens the impact of individual characteristics and Japanese work culture on competency, as well as the impact of Japanese work culture and competency on individual competitiveness. However, it weakens the effect of individual characteristics and competency on individual competitiveness.

EMPLOYEE PAYROLL DATA ANALYSIS USING MACHINE LEARNING

Every company is using machine learning to predict their employees' working styles and competence by estimating how long it will take them to complete a task. The effectiveness of various classification algorithms for predicting employee salary classes has been the subject of numerous recent studies. Salary prediction appears to be a challenging endeavor from the perspective of machine learning because of the low sample size, relatively high dimensionality, and presence of noise. Deeper architectures are required to address this and locate more useful features. Also, more information investigation and information handling can be commonsense to make the forecast model go past the relationship and accuracy guidelines by highlight extraction methods.

Preparing future nonprofit social enterprise leaders: a research-based instructional needs analysis

ABSTRACT Nonprofit social enterprises (NSEs) have the potential to alleviate social issues significantly through entrepreneurial means. However, their unique mission and challenges require a distinct type of leadership compared to traditional nonprofit organizations. This leadership model must integrate social work and business management competencies. Unfortunately, research suggests that finding leaders with this combination of competencies can be challenging for NSEs. This raises the question of whether master’s degree programs in public administration (MPA) and nonprofit management (MNM) adequately equip students with the necessary competencies to lead NSEs. In response to this question, researchers surveyed MPA and MNM faculty using a 14-item online questionnaire. The results indicate that there are significant gaps in the current curriculum, with neither program placing strong emphasis on NSE leadership competencies. However, MNM programs cover some of these competencies more extensively than MPA programs. The findings suggest curricular and pedagogical improvement opportunities in public and private universities’ MPA and MNM programs.

Особенности управления профессиональными рисками при взаимодействии с подрядными организациями

The need to involve contractors for a client is caused by special knowledge, skills, methods, and means possessed by contractors and required by the client in order to achieve certain results. Contractors, however, do not always support the client’s policies and attitudes to the occupational safety values; whereas the safety culture of contractors is, to a certain extent, conditioned by a subjective judgment and personal definition of safety criteria by the contractors’ management. Therefore, the client is exposed to additional professional risks associated with the admission of contractors to work on the client’s territory. One of the main sources of professional risks is the human factor, i.e., hazardous and mistaken actions of the contractors’ personnel. The cost of such actions in the conditions of highly hazardous work on the territories of active productions is specifically high. International and Russian studies have indicated the dependence between employee competence and the number of mistakes causing injuries. The level of competencies of both workers and managers is crucial. The impact of the human factor of contractors on the professional risk level of clients has been considered; and the relevant risk management methods have been proposed. One of the methods is the evaluation of employees’ cognitive abilities before admission to highly hazardous work as human cognitive abilities such as the perception of information, memory, and attention affect their actions when performing the jobs. The next step is the improvement of the competencies of contractors’ employees based on the evaluation of knowledge and skills and further theoretical and practical training based on the results obtained. In addition, a model of contractor HR management structure with specifications of the manageability norm has been proposed.

Factors influencing intercultural competences of hospital workers for multicultural patients in South Korea.

This study aims to assess the intercultural competence of general hospital workers in South Korea by examining their understanding of cultural diversity in healthcare and to identify factors influencing their intercultural competence. A cross-institutional survey was conducted with 439 participants from four South Korean general hospitals, employing inferential statistics such as one-way Analysis of Variance, Mann-Whitney U, and Kruskal-Wallis test followed by post-hoc, and multiple linear regression analyses. While 85% (n = 362) of participants acknowledged the significance of multiculturalism in Korean society, only 11% (n = 49) felt competent in treating multicultural patients. Additionally, 72% (n = 315) experienced significant linguistic difficulties in medical communication. Multiple regression analysis identified advanced English competency, multicultural training experiences, and peer support with organizational awareness of multicultural importance as significant positive contributors to intercultural competence. Despite recognizing the importance of multiculturalism, general hospital workers face significant language barriers and low self-efficacy in providing care to multicultural patients. To address these challenges, hospitals should designate resident translators for culturally appropriate communication. Furthermore, a tri-tiered training approach is proposed to enhance the five domains of intercultural competence among general hospital workers in Korea, including overarching multicultural training, occupation-specific courses, and long-term managerial programs aimed at managing cultural diversity effectively in healthcare settings.
