Abstract

The improper disposal of used cooking oil (UCO) poses significant environmental and health risks, particularly when not managed responsibly by food-related businesses. This study aims to identify and analyze the most influential driving and inhibiting factors affecting UCO management in catering businesses, with a particular focus on social and environmental responsibility. The research adopts the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to systematically assess the priority levels of multiple criteria across 15 catering companies. AHP was chosen due to its strength in structuring complex decision-making problems through pairwise comparisons and eigenvalue analysis. Data were collected using both quantitative questionnaires and qualitative open-ended responses, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of stakeholder perspectives. The results show that among the driving factors, the most dominant is internal policy or management commitment, followed by factors such as enhancing company reputation and increasing profit. Conversely, the top inhibiting factor is the lack of knowledge related to proper oil waste handling, with other significant barriers including high processing costs and insufficient infrastructure. These findings emphasize that managerial awareness, education, and access to resources are crucial for advancing sustainable practices. The study suggests that enhancing knowledge and reinforcing managerial commitment are key strategies to improve oil waste management practices in the catering industry.

Abstract

Background/purpose. Managerial leadership of school principals is one of the key factors that determines the quality of education, particularly in improving teachers’ professional competence. Principals are not only responsible as administrators but also as leaders who must be able to plan, organize, implement, and supervise all school activities. This study aims to examine the extent to which the managerial leadership of principals influences teachers’ professional competence in junior high schools in Baubau City. The research focuses on four managerial aspects which are planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, and their relationship to the improvement of teachers’ professional performance. Materials/methods. The research used a quantitative method with multiple linear regression analysis. The sample consisted of all junior high school principals in Baubau City, selected through a saturated sampling technique. The instrument was a questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability to ensure the accuracy of the data. Results. The findings shows that managerial leadership, including planning (β = 0.312; p = 0.004), organizing (β = 0.281; p = 0.007), implementing (β = 0.246; p = 0.021), and supervising (β = 0.271; p = 0.008), positively and significantly affects teachers’ professional competence. The model’s R² value of 0.659 indicates that 65.9 percent of the variation is explained by the principal’s leadership, while 34.1 percent is influenced by other factor. The four managerial functions contribute meaningfully to encouraging teachers to improve their professional performance, which in turn enhances the overall quality of education in schools. Conclusion. The study confirms that principals’ managerial leadership significantly enhances teachers’ professional competence. Through effective planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling, principals provide direction and support that encourage teachers to improve their performance, thereby strengthening the overall quality of education in junior high schools in Baubau City.
