Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of participatory leadership style and human resource (HR) competency on employee performance moderated by work motivation in the Pekanbaru District Court environment. The population in this study consists of employees of the Pekanbaru District Court who have civil servant status. The sampling technique used is purposive sampling, which is a technique for determining samples based on certain considerations or criteria. This technique was chosen because not all members of the population met the criteria to be research respondents, with a sample size of 44 respondents. The analysis method used in this study was Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to determine the extent to which work motivation moderates the influence of participatory leadership style and HR competence on employee performance. The results of the study indicate that participatory leadership style and HR competence have a significant effect on employee performance. Work motivation strengthens the relationship between HR competence and performance, but work motivation does not strengthen the relationship between participatory leadership and performance. Therefore, this study suggests that the Pekanbaru District Court should adopt a different leadership style to improve employee performance.

Abstract

The study investigates the impact of financial inclusion on performance among women-owned agribusinesses in Adamawa State, Nigeria, using access, usage, and financial literacy as explanatory variables. Primary data was collected from 308 female NIWAB members of which 300 valid cases on multiple regression analysis applied. Access of finance (β = 0.330, p < 0.001) as well as use (β = 0.204, p < 0.01) of financial services was significantly increasing the performance of agribusiness but financial literacy (β = 0.050, p > 0.05) has negligible direct effect. It was observed through the findings the potential for available, relevant, flexible financial product in facilitating rural women's enterprise. The study extends Financial Intermediation Theory beyond its previous application only to male taxpayers in OECD countries by falsifying the hypothesis that finance awareness directly improves performance. Policy applications involve increasing access as well as utilization of financial services, in turn reconceptualizing financial literacy programs to align with agribusiness on-the-ground circumstances. The study extends Financial Intermediation Theory into the gendered agribusiness context and provides policy insights for integrating women into Nigeria’s rural financial ecosystem

Abstract

Is the Indonesian Islamic stock market more resilient to extreme risks compared to conventional markets when global uncertainty increases? Using daily data from the Jakarta Islamic Index (JKII) and the Jakarta Stock Exchange Composite Index (JKSE), we integrate the GARCH–EVT approach, quantile regression, and Expected Shortfall (ES) regression to simultaneously investigate the distribution structure and transmission of global uncertainty shocks. We decompose extreme risk into two main components—the structural thickness of the tail distribution and the realized conditional loss due to volatility dynamics—and show that these two dimensions can lead to different conclusions. Our results indicate that the conventional market has a thicker tail distribution, indicating a higher probability of extreme events. However, after accounting for conditional volatility, the Islamic market exhibits slightly larger average extreme losses. On the other hand, no significant difference is found in sensitivity to global uncertainty between the two markets. Our findings suggest that the difference between Islamic and conventional markets lies in the structure of extreme risk formation, not in the shock transmission mechanism. Our study contributes by demonstrating that tail risk should be understood as the result of the interaction between the distribution of extremes and volatility dynamics in the context of global uncertainty.

Abstract

Participative management, grounded in ubuntu (humanness) and democratic principles, emphasises inclusive decision-making in organisational contexts. This study explores African management and leadership philosophies in secondary schools in post-apartheid South Africa, focusing on the King Cetshwayo District of KwaZulu-Natal. Adopting a quantitative research paradigm, data were collected through questionnaires from a sample of 180 secondary school principals. Findings from both empirical data and literature indicate that while participative management is conceptually acknowledged, its practical implementation remains uneven. The study highlights that African philosophies, particularly ubuntu and lekgotla (a participatory and consensus-driven approach to decision-making), provide a culturally relevant framework for enhancing school leadership and management. However, their effective integration requires deliberate efforts, including continuous professional development and supportive policy alignment. The study concludes that strengthening capacity-building initiatives for school leaders is essential for institutionalising participatory and context-responsive leadership practices in South African secondary schools.

Abstract

Micro-breaks have received increasing attention as a workplace recovery strategy that may help employees maintain positive psychological conditions and sustain work-related outcomes. This study examines the relationship between relaxation microbreaks and employee work engagement, with employee well-being as a mediating variable. Data were collected using repeated daily observations from employees over five consecutive workdays. A total of 220 observation episodes were obtained from 22 employees working in financial service institutions in Aceh, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that relaxation microbreaks were positively associated with employee well-being and work engagement. Employee well-being was also positively associated with work engagement and significantly mediated the relationship between relaxation microbreaks and work engagement. These results suggest that brief relaxation activities during work may contribute to employees’ psychological recovery and foster stronger engagement by improving well-being. This study contributes to the employee recovery and engagement literature by highlighting the importance of microbreaks as a simple workplace practice that supports positive psychological and work-related outcomes. The findings also have practical implications for organizations, encouraging brief recovery opportunities during work to enhance employee well-being and engagement. Keywords: micro-breaks; employee well-being; work engagement; repeated daily observations; PLS-SEM

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of scholarships on the consumption patterns and financial well-being of students in Tanjungpinang City. The central problem motivating this research is the observed variation in consumption behavior and financial conditions among scholarship recipients, along with concerns that scholarship funds are not always utilized in an optimal and purposeful manner. This study employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. Data were collected from two sources: primary data gathered through questionnaires distributed to 82 scholarship recipients, and secondary data comprising relevant previously published journal articles. Data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method with the assistance of SmartPLS software. The findings reveal that scholarships exert a positive and statistically significant impact on both student consumption patterns and student financial well-being. These results indicate that scholarships play a meaningful role in helping students allocate their expenditures in a more structured and purposeful manner, while also enhancing their perception of financial well-being throughout their period of study. This research is expected to provide empirical contributions to the development of student financial scholarship program managers in formulating more effective and sustainable scholarship policies.

Abstract

In Bangladesh, the telecommunications system has become highly competitive due to the liberalization of the sector to improve communication there. Despite the success, the telecommunications industry in Bangladesh faces several impediments that have hindered firms' efforts to achieve their goals, attracting scholars' attention to foster a shared understanding for effective strategic formulation to overcome them. The findings support the importance of conducting a survey among six selected telecommunication companies in Bangladesh: Airtel, Grameenphone (Telenor), Banglalink, Robi, BTCL, and Tele-talk. The data was collected from the employees and users through interviews and questionnaires. This Hypothesis study was analyzed and tested by SPSS, namely Hypothesis Test for Proportions, Proportion Chi-Square Test, Correlation Coefficient, Regression, and t-test models. Bangladeshi tele-industry faces many challenges, such as mismanagement of e-marketing channels, the inappropriate incorporation of marketing strategies with consumers, and improper communication and social behavior by telecommunication brands. This study was believed to be an important and reliable source of literature reviews and to have created an alert on E-marketing deficits in the Bangladesh Tele-industry for strategic goals.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of self-efficacy, digital literacy, and social support on work readiness among students of the Faculty of Teacher Training and Education (FKIP). A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected through structured questionnaires administered to FKIP students. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that self-efficacy, digital literacy, and social support each have a positive and statistically significant effect on students’ work readiness. Among the predictors, self-efficacy emerges as the most dominant factor, followed by digital literacy, while social support shows a smaller yet meaningful contribution. These findings suggest that FKIP students’ readiness to enter the teaching profession is shaped by a combination of internal psychological resources, digital competencies, and supportive social environments. The study underscores the importance of strengthening self-efficacy, integrating digital literacy into teacher education curricula, and providing structured academic support to enhance the professional readiness of prospective teachers.

Abstract

This study examined consumers' purchase behavior and investigated the influence of the Service Marketing Mix (7Ps) on repurchase intention toward community grocery retail stores. A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected from 178 consumers who had experience purchasing products from community grocery retail stores. Multiple regression analysis was used to examine the relationships among variables. The results revealed that most consumers purchased products 2–3 times per week, preferred shopping after work, made purchasing decisions independently, selected stores located close to home, and paid via bank transfer or PromptPay. Regarding the Service Marketing Mix, Place ranked highest in importance, followed by People and Process, respectively. The regression analysis found that Process (β = .354), Place (β = .313), and People (β = .187) significantly influenced consumers' repurchase intention, collectively explaining 69.5% of the variance (R² = .695). In contrast, Product, Price, Promotion, and Physical Evidence did not have statistically significant effects. These findings suggest that efficient service delivery, convenient accessibility, and positive interpersonal relationships are the primary drivers of repeat purchasing behavior in community grocery retail contexts. Community retail store operators are recommended to prioritize service process improvement, location convenience, and customer relationship development to enhance customer retention and long-term business sustainability.
