Abstract

Healthcare professionals, especially Indonesian women health workers in Perth, Australia, play a important role as unofficial cultural ambassadors in the diaspora. This study examines how Indonesian women in Perth's healthcare industry negotiate their identities as women, migrants, and medical professionals and demonstrate cultural values, using qualitative methodology, with social identity theory and transnational feminist as the theoretical framework. Interviews were conducted to Indonesian women healthcare workers in Perth, as the study prioritizes depth, experiential richness, and identity negotiation, consistent with exploratory qualitative and phenomenological approaches. The results demonstrate how participants build interpersonal communication and multicultural engagement by incorporating Indonesian values—such as empathy, collectivism, and cultural sensitivity—into patient care. These women exhibit perseverance that supports Indonesia’s branding in healthcare, their resilience in overcoming challenges related to language and maintain work-life balance. The findings highlight the significance of communication in shaping national identities in diverse environments and contribute to the understanding of gendered diaspora experiences.

Abstract

This qualitative study examines Australian high school students’ perceptions of teacher communication styles in classroom behavior management. While disciplinary practices are often analyzed from institutional perspectives, this research prioritizes student voices to explore how communication is experienced, interpreted, and shapes classroom dynamics. Semi-structured interviews with Year 10 to Year 12 students across three diverse schools revealed key themes related to fairness, empathy, and emotional impact. Findings indicate that students respond more favorably to communication that balances authority with respect and clarity with compassion. Negative reactions—such as disengagement or resistance—often arose from communication perceived as harsh, public, or demeaning. Conversely, calm and respectful interactions fostered trust and engagement. The study underscores the significance of relational communication in behavior management, suggesting that effective discipline is not just procedural but fundamentally interpersonal. These insights offer valuable implications for teacher training, advocating for strategies that uphold student dignity while cultivating positive classroom environments.
