Evidence of positive influence: soft skills competence and organizational culture on innovative work behavior

This study investigates the innovative work behavior (IWB) of marine lecturers, considering work motivation (WM), organizational culture (OC), and soft skill competence (SSC). Data from 145 respondents representing ten higher education polytechnics in Indonesia were analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Respondents answered 54 Likert-scale questions, revealing that SSC significantly shapes IWB (estimated value: 0.504), primarily through problem-solving ability. However, WM showed no significant impact on IWB, possibly due to non-influential dimensions like science, technology, environment, and society. Incorporating technological developments as moderating variables could enhance this relationship. Notably, SSC and OC exhibit crucial relationships with IWB, highlighting their importance over WM. These findings shed light on the complex dynamics influencing IWB among marine lecturers, emphasizing the significance of SSC and OC in fostering innovation in the maritime education sector.

Improving employee performance through leadership, motivation and job satisfaction at PT Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara Meda

This study aims to analyze the influence of Transformational Leadership, Work Motivation, and Job Satisfaction on Employee Performance and Organizational Commitment at PT. Kharisma Pemasaran Bersama Nusantara Medan. Data were collected through a survey of company employees and analyzed using relevant statistical methods. The results showed that Transformational Leadership (X1) and Work Motivation (X2) have a significant influence on Employee Performance (Y), but do not affect Organizational Commitment (Z). Conversely, Job Satisfaction (X3) has a significant influence on both variables, namely Employee Performance and Organizational Commitment. Furthermore, Employee Performance (Y) is also proven to have a significant influence on Organizational Commitment (Z). However, the Organizational Commitment variable cannot act as a mediator between Transformational Leadership, Work Motivation, and Job Satisfaction with Employee Performance. This finding indicates that while the right leadership and motivation strategies can improve performance, increasing organizational commitment requires a more comprehensive approach. Based on these results, it is recommended that companies focus on developing transformational leadership, increasing work motivation through incentives, and periodically monitoring and providing feedback to improve employee satisfaction and commitment. This study also recommends comparative studies and the development of more holistic models in further research.

With the continuous progress of science and technology, the output of employees' innovative behavior in the work scene becomes more and more valuable. However, how to develop employees' innovative behavior is worth thinking about. This study reflects that there is a positive correlation between employee motivation and innovative behavior.

A leader's openness and commitment to innovation can greatly influence employee behavior and organizational culture. To sum up, through the comprehensive use of a variety of incentive means and culture-shaping strategies, accompanied by the active participation of leaders, the innovative behavior of employees can be effectively cultivated and promoted, thus bringing long-term competitive advantages and development potential to the organization.

Getting time and building trust: unveiling the systemic, relational, and personal factors influencing clinical pharmacy service implementation in South Africa, a qualitative study

BackgroundWhile multidisciplinary teams with clinical pharmacists improve medication use and outcomes, their integration in South Africa faces limitations. A lack of dedicated positions and healthcare professionals’ misunderstanding restrict ward activities and hinder full collaboration, limiting their potential to optimize patient care. This study addresses a gap by exploring how perceived healthcare professionals’ understanding of clinical pharmacists’ roles impacts their motivation and service implementation. Understanding these dynamics, particularly in resource-constrained settings, is crucial for optimizing integration and healthcare delivery.MethodsAdopting a constructivist approach, this qualitative study was conducted using focus group discussions. Through purposive sampling clinical pharmacists were recruited across South Africa’s public healthcare sector. A semi-structured guide based on previous findings explored how the perceived understanding around clinical pharmacy impacts service delivery and work motivation. Transcripts were analyzed using thematic analysis, guided by the Self-Determination Theory framework. Thematic analysis employed an inductive approach, following an initial preliminary analysis of open and selective coding to develop a coding framework.ResultsClinical pharmacists (n = 16) reported various challenges impacting service implementation and motivation. Two main themes were identified: (1) Time: Dedicated ward time is crucial for both the proper implementation of clinical services, as well as the clinical pharmacists’ motivation; and (2) Trust: Clinical pharmacists experience a lack of trust amongst healthcare professionals in the value of clinical pharmacy services. The themes illustrated mechanisms at work at three levels: systemic (lack of dedicated positions), inter-relational (healthcare professional’s misconceptions), and personal (thwarted autonomy).ConclusionsSystemic challenges, like the absence of official positions present the biggest obstacle, affecting support, scope of practice, and healthcare professional interactions. While systemic changes are crucial for full integration of clinical pharmacists, in resource-constrained settings fostering autonomous motivation is equally important. This study emphasizes the need for a multi-faceted approach, including policy changes, international collaboration, interprofessional education, and interventions to empower clinical pharmacists for proactive service delivery. By addressing these interconnected challenges, healthcare systems can leverage the full potential of clinical pharmacists, ultimately improving healthcare delivery and patient outcomes.

How higher education teachers see their professional identity

An important dimension to understand the student learning process is the professional identity of teachers, which is conceptualized as a continuous process of construction and reconstruction. In this process, teachers define and assume their roles in a specific educational context that is characterized by tensions, adjustments, and transformations. This study focuses on understanding the professional identity of higher education teachers, a field characterized by constant evolution and demands. The personal characteristics of this identity are explored, including experiences and biographical representations, as well as its interrelationship with the institutional environment. Using a qualitative interpretive approach, six teachers recognized for their pedagogical innovation and educational commitment were interviewed. The results reveal outstanding motivation and responsibility in educational work, but also tensions between personal identity and the work context, reflected in the perception of low recognition and the importance of institutional leadership. The teachers show a critical and reflective view of their work, influenced by childhood experiences that impact their conceptions of educational justice and equity. To conclude, the common characteristics of professional identity in higher education highlight the need to integrate them into professional development. The article advocates for the design of more personalized training programs and the promotion of continuous learning among peers as key elements to strengthen this identity and improve pedagogical practice.
