Abstract

In a bid to address poor academic performance among students in Jinja City primary schools, this study looked into how students' academic performance was affected by school leadership styles within the theoretical framework of the Path-Goal theory of leadership. The goals of the study were to: 1) comprehend how the laissez-faire leadership style affects academic performance; 2) examine the authoritarian leadership style; and 3) ascertain how the democratic leadership style affects students' academic performance. Data collection and analysis were done using a cross-sectional survey design that combined quantitative and qualitative research methods. Using simple random and purposeful sampling techniques, 100 participants were chosen from a target population of 300. Through the use of questionnaires and interview guides, data was gathered. The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to analyze the quantitative data, and descriptive analysis was used to find patterns and trends in the qualitative data. The findings revealed that the laissez-faire leadership style significantly affected students' academic performance by 83%. The authoritarian leadership style accounted for 66.7% of the variation in academic performance, while the democratic leadership style contributed 74.1%. The research emphasized the importance of upholding existing school rules, regulations, and goals to enhance students' academic performance. Recommendations include adopting flexible leadership approaches by school heads, emphasizing school rules and regulations, and recognizing the significance of authority in leadership to boost and sustain academic performance. The research also highlighted the value of open communication, guidance, equitable treatment, and equal opportunities for all stakeholders involved in promoting desired academic outcomes in primary schools. The theoretical implication of this study lies in the demonstration that adaption of different leadership styles can be applicable to educational settings to achieve desired goals.Keywords: Leadership Styles; Academic Performance; Path-Goal theory; Educational Outcomes; School Management; Students

Abstract

This research aims to find out the thoughts, attitudes, and actions of Islamic religious authorities (ulama, kyai, or ustad) concerning the COVID-19 epidemic. This investigation was prompted by the fact of the enormous number of kyai or ulama who were exposed to COVID-19. The research technique ised mixed methods, essentially mixing qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The participants involved in the first (qualitative) stage were 14 persons, 13 males and 1 woman. They are Islamic religious figures who live in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The second step was conducted by utilizing a questionnaire (Google form) and succeeded to gather 85 participants. The findings indicated that although all the participants were Ahlussunah Wal Jamaah (NU and Muhammadiyah), the discrepancies in their ideas, attitudes, and conduct regarding the COVID-19 epidemic were obvious. On average, Muhammadiyah is more inclined or tends to think towards complete endeavour, or its method of thinking tends to be Jabariyah, whereas NU is more likely to think towards entire submission or Qodariah, however certain situations are the contrary. This data demonstrates that in the face of a novel phenomena involving an unknown virus such as COVID-19, Indonesian Muslims, particularly Islamic religious leaders, cling to what they believe, not changing the norm.

Abstract

The research aimed to evaluate parental influence on students' academic achievement in high school. It investigated academic performance, parental involvement, and their impact on secondary school students. Using a cross-sectional survey with 357 participants including head teachers, teachers, students, and BOG members, a self-administered questionnaire was utilized. Results indicated 80-89% score improvements in reading and writing skills, though fluency requires over 90%. Homework had 80-98% accuracy, but stronger focus was needed. Poor concentration and attendance highlighted the necessity for more support. Students struggled with question comprehension and irregular achievement. Parental engagement in health programs scored neutrally, signaling a need for increased involvement. Involvement in learning-related responsibilities was hindered by behavioral issues. Positive correlations existed between parental engagement and academic success, including safety, diversity, and regulatory aspects. Writing materials positively impacted, while reading materials showed a decline. Counseling services exhibited a weak correlation. Overall, parental involvement significantly predicted UCE students' academic improvement (B = 0.502; p = .000 < 0.05), contributing to 50.2% positive changes.

Abstract

Health workers are professionals with high exposure to various types of stress; therefore, they need resilience to survive in their profession. This research aims to test the effect of social support and calling on resilience in health workers.  It is a quantitative-correlational study conducted cross-sectionally. The instruments used were the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, Multidimensional Support Scale, and Calling Scale. Snowball sampling was used to identify participants, consisting of 113 health workers in East Nusa Tenggara province, Indonesia. The data were analyzed with multiple linear regression techniques. Significant effects of social support and calling were found on resilience (p < .01, F = 34.224), with calling shown to have more significant impact (p < .01, F = 60.685) and 35.3% effective contribution. Amongst the types of social support, coworkers make the most significant contribution of 11.8% (p < .01, F = 14.816), followed by family members at 9.6% (p < .01, F = 11.752). On the other hand, social support from supervisors does not affect resilience (p > .05, F = 0.904). Health workers should seek the social support they need proactively, and prospective health workers should consider their calling when choosing a career.

Abstract

Resilience is necessary for the prisoners who are subjected to legal sanctions in accordance with criminal cases committed. Therefore, this study aimed to identify the resilience of the prisoners living in a prison regarding social support and husnuzan. A quantitative correlational method was used to explore the relationship between social support, husnuzan, and resilience. The participants were Muslim male prisoners, aged 18 to 60 years, incarcerated for the first time at Correctional Institution “X” in Yogyakarta. A total of 206 participants were obtained using a purposive sampling method and data were collected through three psychological scales, namely resilience, social support, and husnuzan. The result showed that there was a positive relationship between social support & husnuzan and the resilience of the prisoners. This implies that the prisoners have high resilience when there is a positive thought about the future, as well as receive love and support from family and friends.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between altruism and teacher performance in private secondary schools in Iganga District, Uganda—a context that remains underrepresented in existing literature. While previous research has explored altruism within corporate and public service sectors, limited attention has been paid to its role in non-profit educational environments, particularly in Sub-Saharan Africa. To address this contextual and content-related gap, a mixed-methods approach was employed, combining a cross-sectional survey design with both quantitative and qualitative techniques. Data were collected from 88 respondents, including head teachers and teachers with administrative responsibilities, using validated questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Pearson product-moment correlation, while qualitative insights were interpreted through content analysis. The results reveal a statistically significant and strong positive relationship (r = .644, p < .01) between altruism and teacher performance. Qualitative findings further illuminate how altruistic behaviors—such as empathy, collaboration, and voluntary support—contribute to sustained performance and institutional cohesion. The study offers a novel contribution by demonstrating how altruism functions as a critical behavioral factor in enhancing teacher effectiveness in resource-constrained school settings. These findings underscore the importance of cultivating altruistic values in school management practices and teacher development programs. Future research should explore comparative analyses between school types and examine institutional support mechanisms that sustain altruism.
