Abstract

This study aims to fill this gap by exploring how lecturers’ organizational commitment in its three main dimensions can contribute to improving the quality of education at Alwashliyah University Medan. This study employs a qualitative approach, with data collection conducted through surveys, in-depth interviews, and institutional document analysis involving 85 lecturers. The data obtained were analyzed using NVivo and were systematically collected until data saturation was achieved. Data validity was examined through several techniques, namely credibility, transferability, dependability, confirmability, and triangulation. The conclusions of this study reveal that lecturers’ organizational commitment at Alwashliyah University Medan demonstrates emotional, moral, and rational attachment that forms the basis of loyalty to the institution. Normative commitment appears to be the most dominant, driven by moral awareness, religious values, and ethical responsibility inherent in an Islamic-based organizational culture. Efforts to enhance lecturers’ organizational commitment are carried out through managerial strategies of university leadership and individual initiatives of the lecturers. On the other hand, lecturers strengthen their commitment through improving professionalism, collaborative research, adaptation to technology, and the establishment of solid academic networks.

Abstract

This research aims to explore how women’s experiences and gender inequality are depicted in Brit Bennett’s novel The Vanishing Half, using a feminist literary-critical approach. The story of this novel follows the lives of two twin sisters, Desiree and Stella Vignes, whose choices about their identity and social position reflect issues such as race, class, and gender-based oppression in 20th-century America. This study employs descriptive qualitative methods and draws on feminist theory, particularly liberal feminism and intersectional approaches, to analyze how female characters in the novel struggle against patriarchal domination and racial hierarchy. The results of the study show that Bennett’s work expresses feminist ideals, as her female characters reject conventional female roles and affirm their ability to determine their own destinies despite facing obstacles from the existing system. Furthermore, this research also provides insight into the novel’s depiction of the double oppression experienced by Black American women, influenced by race and gender. The Vanishing Half explores the role of women and highlights identities that are entwined by multiple factors. This study concludes that the feminist perspective provides a deeper insight into how women’s voices are shaped, suppressed, and finally empowered in a race-based social system.
