Abstract

ABSTRACT: Power is a phenomenon appearing in the personal, interpersonal and structural behavior. Within the personal behavior, power is a need that has to be realized to get satisfaction. Accordingly, the power that is inherent in an organization is of dynamic character and may be regarded as a driving force to internalize its values so as to enable the organization to increase its adaptability to changes, and its productivity as well, which in their turn will boost its work satisfaction and efficiency. Based on the above statement, we may conclude that power means the ability or force that causes other people to do (or act) according to the desire of the power holder. In short it may be said that the process of building functional power will contribute (highly) to the organizational effectiveness. This paper tries to elaborate, in general overview, the power process in an organization (behavior, structure and process) that has the potential to interfere with the organizations success as a whole, a uniting factor will be much needed. Stated differently, the power process should be viewed as an effort to internalize those values that could make the organization to have the ability to changes, to be more productive, to upgrade the job satisfaction and efficiency. In short it may be said that the functional power process could well contribute to the effectiveness of the organization.KEY WORDS: power, organization, management, leadership, and effectiveness and successful in the organization.About the Author: Dr. Cornelia J.

Abstract

ABSTRACT: International-level migration among young people is an effective way for students to be exposed to cultural diversity in order to develop global awareness, personal competence, intercultural skills, and prospective careers for the future. In addition, an individual with intercultural skills has an advantage in effective teamwork or collaboration with others in a multi-cultural workplace. The purpose of this article is to determine differences in level of four learning outcomes on the impacts of socio-cultural adaptation in Japan from the Malaysian international students’ perspectives (N=245). Using the statistical method of Friedman test, analysis revealed significant differences in level of learning outcomes [χ2 (3, N = 245) = 480.173, p < .05] with mean ranks of personal competence (2.27); intercultural competence (3.99); global competence (2.07); and skills competence (1.67). In addition, qualitative analysis through narrative method demonstrated that the struggles of adaptation issue significantly influence impacts on students’ learning and development: independence, self-confidence, expanding world-view, psychological adjustment, understanding of cultural differences, self-cultural awareness, objectivity in making decision, and problem-solving skills. Individuals living abroad deal with various challenges and difficulties situations, such as new physical environment, difference in customary practices, difference in way of thinking, language barrier, cultural shock, lack of emotional support, and difficulty in maintaining own values and beliefs. The researchers believe that for a successful socio-cultural adaptation, individuals need to express their willingness to learn and accept other cultures through psychological, behaviour, and cognitive changes.
