Abstract

Kertas kerja ini memberi tumpuan kepada kesan serta dimensi kesejahteraan sosial terhadap aktiviti berulang-alik setiap hari ke tempat kerja di Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. Oleh kerana taraf hidup yang lebih tinggi di kawasan bandar dengan adanya kemudahan infrastruktur, kesihatan dan pendidikan yang lebih baik, lebih ramai penjawat awam serta keluarga mereka masih belum bersedia untuk menyesuaikan gaya hidup di kawasan tersebut. Kongres Kesatuan Sekerja Dalam Perkhidmatan Awam (CUEPACS) mendapati kira-kira 60% penjawat awam tidak mampu untuk memiliki rumah sendiri berdekatan dengan tempat kerja mereka di kawasan bandar. Hanya kawasan di luar bandar menawarkan rumah mampu milik berharga tidak melebihi RM300,000 (USD65,000), manakala sebilangan besar penjawat awam bekerja di kawasan bandar. Status quo ini secara langsung menjadi salah satu faktor untuk mereka memilih terus tinggal di kawasan luar bandar yang jauh dari tempat mereka bekerja. Ini jelas menunjukkan bahawa sebilangan besar penjawat awam khususnya di Pulau Pinang tinggal di luar kawasan tempat mereka bekerja. Seramai 180 orang responden daripada kumpulan ini telah terlibat dalam tinjauan ini telah ditemu bual. Analisis kuantitatif telah dibincangkan dengan sewajarnya berdasarkan objektif kajian. Dapatan kajian menunjukkan sebilangan besar responden mengalami pelbagai kesulitan semasa berulang-alik setiap hari ke tempat kerja. Perjalanan ulang-alik jarak jauh turut menjejaskan kesejahteraan sosial, tekanan kerja dan kesihatan. Usaha untuk mengurangkan permasalah ini demi kelangsungan kehidupan yang lebih baik dalam kalangan mereka adalah amat penting. Peningkatan usaha boleh dilakukan melalui kerjasama dalam pelbagai program, faedah dan kemudahan seperti perlindungan, jaminan keselamatan, serta bantuan sosial.

Data collection techniques are carried out through interviews, documentation, and observation. This study involved several participants, such as madrasah heads, teachers, education staff, students, and madrasah committees. The results of this study try to confirm the compatibility between the phenomena that occur in MTSN 5 Tangerang with management theories such as G.R.Terry's theory, Beck and Cowan's theory, McKinsey's 7S Framework theory, and Deming's theory. According to the findings of the researchers, the strategy of the head of the MTSN 5 Tangerang madrasah in improving the culture of education quality is carried out through planning, organizing, directing, and supervising based on madrasah-based management principles that are independence, achievement, environmental insight, and moral character. The characteristics of madrasah-based management are indicators of the success of the madrasah head's strategy in improving the culture of education quality.

Abstract

Kajian ini bertujuan untuk membincangkan tentang kesedaran mahasiswa Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) dalam kesiapsiagaan memberi bantuan bencana banjir. Hampir setiap tahun Malaysia mengalami bencana banjir tidak mengira tempat atau negeri. Manakala mahasiswa yang bertindak sebagai sukarelawan merupakan elemen yang penting semasa proses bantuan. Amalan semasa dan pada masa depan di dalam mengendali atau menguruskan bencana banjir seharusnya melibatkan penyertaan dari kalangan mahasiswa universiti. Hal ini menjadikan mahasiswa akan terdedah kepada tindakan kesiapsiagaan untuk menghadapi pengurusan bencana banjir di dalam komuniti. Persoalannya, adakah kesedaran dalam kalangan mahasiswa dalam kesiapsiagaan memberi bantuan banjir? Kajian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif menerusi kaedah analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati kesedaran mahasiswa adalah terletak kepada diri masing-masing selain daripada pendedahan dari pihak universiti dalam memberi kesedaran dan kesiapsiagaan untuk memberi bantuan bencana banjir. Penglibatan mahasiswa dengan aktiviti berbentuk kesukarelawanan secara tidak langsung dapat memberi impak yang positif dalam diri mahasiswa tersebut

Abstract

Social work plays a crucial role in restoring societal functions. This paper advocates for integral theory as a defining framework for the identity of social work. In the context of Malaysia, a nation characterized by its multicultural landscape and grappling with a two-century-long issue of drug abuse, the application of integral theory becomes particularly relevant. Through an in-depth case study, this paper aims to illustrate the practicality and efficacy of integral theory in addressing the complex challenges posed by drug abuse in Malaysia. The discussion delves into various facets, including social identities, ego development, ethnopharmacology, and the political climate of Malaysia, providing a comprehensive understanding of the ongoing drug abuse issue. By examining these elements, the paper seeks to underscore how integral theory can serve as a transformative lens for social work in Malaysia. Crucially, this exploration contends that integral theory is not merely a practical tool for establishing the identity of social work; it should also be regarded as the future trajectory of social work. As societal issues evolve, the holistic and inclusive approach offered by integral theory positions social work to effectively navigate the complexities and nuances inherent in addressing drug abuse and other pressing challenges in the years to come.

The permission to adapt these two questionnaires for the publishers was made and permission was obtained. This questionnaire has been translated into Malay using the direct translation method. Two experts were involved in the content validity process while eight lay adult smokers were involved in the face validity process while a total of 50 adult smokers were involved in the reliability assessment process. The results of the study found that the S-CVI/Ave and S-CVI/UA values ​​for M-SOCRATES-S are 0.97 and 0.94 while the S-CVI/Ave values ​​and S-CVI/UA values ​​for M-SSE are 1.0 and 1.0. The S-FVI/Ave and S-FVI/UA values ​​for M-SOCRATES-S are 0.99 and 0.95 while the S-FVI/Ave and S-FVI/UA values ​​for M-SSE are 0.98 and 0.83. There are three domains in the M-SOCRATES-S questionnaire, namely the recognition domain, the ambivalent domain and the taking action domain, these three domains recorded Cronbach's alpha values ​​of 0.85, 0.80 and 0.89. While there are two domains in the M-SSE, namely internal and external, which recorded Cronbach's alpha values ​​of 0.81 and 0.77.

Abstract

The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 brought significant changes to how Information and Communications Technology (ICT) is leveraged in various industries, including social work and community development. This research analyzes the role of ICTs on the delivery of Likhaan Center for Women’s Health’s programs from March 2020 to December 2022. Likhaan is a non-government organization aiming to promote the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women and young people from disadvantaged communities. This study considers the perspectives and experiences of Likhaan’s beneficiaries, community mobilizers, and social service providers. A mixed-methods design was utilized, beginning with an online survey-questionnaire for the collection of quantitative data from Likhaan’s beneficiaries, which garnered 90 completed responses. The quantitative data was used to identify eight beneficiaries to participate in in-depth individual interviews for the collection of complementing qualitative data. Individual interviews were also conducted with four project coordinators and clinicians from Likhaan. Additional qualitative data was collected through focus group discussions (FGDs) with 16 community mobilizers from various Likhaan clinics. The results revealed that ICT accessibility and integration has a direct impact on the delivery of social services, which is felt and experienced by beneficiaries, community mobilizers, and social service providers in different ways. The findings have implications for the aforementioned groups, along with policymakers, program implementers, and researchers, providing insights into opportunities, challenges, and barriers in utilizing ICT in the delivery of SRHR social services. The study underscores the need for further research, collaboration, and innovation in leveraging ICT to address the complex and multifaceted challenges related to SRHR and how it can be used in the context of social work and social welfare.
