Abstract

Employee performance is influenced by organizational factors that require careful management by the human resource divisions of organizations. The involvement of human resources divisions is essential for managing court interpreters who require specific skills, such as understanding court hierarchies, proceedings, and discourse, remaining neutral concerning their language choices, and coping with hearing about sometimes horrific events without succumbing to secondary trauma. The organizational factors in the South African courtrooms were examined by interviewing foreign African court interpreters, magistrates, prosecutors, and attorneys. Observations of courtroom proceedings complement data collected through interview methods. The data analyzed show that the majority of foreign African court interpreters have employment on a casual rather than permanent basis, and organizational issues such as standardized employment procedures, in-service training, monitoring, induction, and orientation, amongst other factors, still require significant improvement to ensure quality foreign African court interpreting in South African courtrooms. The research contributes to the literature on human resources management of court interpreting. The implications of the findings and the limitations of the study are discussed.

Abstract

Numerous studies have been conducted on effective, sustainable development, but they may not benefit local communities. Recognizing the potential for spatial development within a city and its various sectors, it is evident that specific barriers, particularly cultural ones, must be addressed. This study seeks to create a socially stable development model for Beshagard City by tackling the cultural challenges present in the community. The research utilizes a mixed methodology incorporating both qualitative and quantitative approaches. The study population consists of students living in urban and rural areas of the city. Following Morgan's Table for sample size determination, a maximum of 384 participants were chosen for the quantitative segment of the study. Additionally, qualitative data was gathered through interviews with 20 individuals, including professors, urban development sustainability experts (10 individuals), and representatives from cultural heritage organizations (10 individuals). Data was analyzed using SPSS and Lisrel software in a Windows environment, encompassing descriptive and inferential statistical analyses. Descriptive statistics were utilized to examine data levels and rankings among the student population. Moreover, a structural equation model was utilized to devise an appropriate development model for achieving social stability. Data was analyzed using Microsoft Excel, SPSS, and Lisrel software. The research findings reveal that cultural factors significantly impact the underdevelopment of Beshagard City, as evidenced by the t-test results, with a calculated t-value (8.09) exceeding the standardized t-value of 1.96 at a 95% significance level. The importance of culture in sustainable development and the promotion of social justice cannot be emphasized enough. The research clearly shows that culture is a key factor in the progress of any community. Ignoring or underestimating this essential element can lead to the downfall of all development efforts.

Abstract

This study explores teachers' perceptions regarding the impact of curriculum changes on the academic performance of accounting learners in four selected secondary schools. The ongoing curriculum changes created a state of uncertainty and bewilderment among teachers, which in turn has affected learners' academic performance. Employing a qualitative research approach aligned with interpretivism paradigms, data was gathered through semi-structured interviews. A purposive sampling technique was utilized to select 20 participants from four secondary schools, comprising principals, deputy principals, heads of departments, and teachers within the Shamavunga circuit, Mopani District, Limpopo. Thematic analysis was employed to analyze the data, with due consideration given to ethical guidelines throughout the study. The findings revealed the significant challenges teachers face in the context of accounting science due to curriculum changes. It is apparent that reluctance among certain teachers to embrace novel pedagogical approaches, alongside impediments encountered by learners such as restricted access to learning resources and time constraints, markedly hinder the academic performance of accounting learners. Furthermore, the insufficiency of teacher training concerning curriculum changes emerges as a critical factor impacting their ability to effectively convey accounting concepts to accounting learners. Consequently, this deficit in teaching proficiency directly influences learners' grasp of the subject matter, ultimately affecting their academic performance. To enhance the educational achievement of accounting learners amidst curriculum changes, it is imperative to ensure that teachers are furnished with adequate resources, subject enhancement strategies, and structured training sessions.

Abstract

The longstanding expectation for female schoolteachers in Sri Lanka to wear sarees is primarily influenced by cultural norms and religious traditions. In November 2022, an organized movement of female activists began opposing this social imperative by wearing casual attires at school, making it the first organized movement of its kind. This paper analyses the island-wide protest led by female schoolteachers as a case through a case study interview with one of the leaders of the activist movement. A document analysis is utilized to examine the background of the saree-only policy. By doing so, a broader understanding of the movement against the saree-only policy and its impetus were gained focusing on how it influenced teacher identity development. The paper offers a critical overview of the control exerted over female schoolteachers, shaped by cultural, religious, and political influences, and how the movement in 2022 reimagined their identities through changes in attire. Findings indicate that female teacher activism challenges longstanding traditions and calls for a redefinition of "Sri Lankan female teacher" exercising individual and collective agency against cultural and religious hegemony despite resistance to change at many levels.

Abstract

The rise of social media has transformed digital platforms into essential arenas for public discourse, allowing extensive user participation in content creation and modification. This shift enhances interaction and expression but also presents challenges in digital identity management, particularly regarding reputational integrity and information privacy. This study assesses the impact of digital persona management on the well-being and interpersonal development of Tanzanian adolescents aged 14 to 22. A mixed-methods approach, the research combines quantitative data analysis with qualitative structured interviews to gather insights from a diverse group of social media users. One hundred fifty teenagers were surveyed about their online activities and overall well-being, and five focus groups with 40 participants were conducted for deeper perspectives. Results revealed that social media is a double-edged sword for teenagers, offering significant benefits and risks based on personal characteristics and usage habits. While social media can enhance social connectivity and self-expression, it also poses threats such as cyberbullying, privacy breaches, and unhealthy social comparisons, negatively affecting adolescents' mental health and social relationships. The study underscores the need for comprehensive digital literacy programs that promote responsible social media use and suggests integrating digital persona management into educational curricula to boost adolescents' resilience against adverse impacts. Additionally, it calls for policies to protect young users' privacy and ensure safe online environments. This research contributes to digital identity management theory. It offers practical recommendations for educators, parents, and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of ongoing research to adapt to the evolving digital landscape and safeguard adolescent well-being

Abstract

As competition for student enrolment intensifies, higher education institutions must understand the factors influencing students' choices to ensure their sustainability and growth. The study investigated how brand reputation and perceived benefits affect higher education enrolment intention. The study employed a concurrent mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data from surveys with qualitative data from Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) to comprehensively understand the research problem through a triangulation approach. The first objective involved conducting qualitative exploration through seven purposively selected focus group discussions (FGDs), applying thematic analysis to identify factors influencing enrolment choices. The second objective involved utilizing structured questionnaires to collect quantitative data from a representative sample of 119 randomly selected respondents. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to analyze quantitative data and examine how brand reputation and perceived benefits influence enrolment intentions. The qualitative findings indicate that brand reputation, alum success, campus facilities, faculty expertise, financial aid, and academic programs are pivotal in shaping students' choices. Conversely, the quantitative analysis reveals that while brand names and compelling slogans positively affect enrolment intentions, brand logos do not yield a significant impact. These findings underscore the need for higher education institutions to prioritize brand reputation, alumni engagement, investment in campus facilities and faculty expertise, and financial support to enhance student attraction. This research extends brand equity theory to the higher education context, elucidating the significance of branding in enrolment decisions and enhancing academic discourse through its dual-method approach. The findings conclude that effective branding is a critical determinant of student enrolment choices, thereby offering substantial contributions to developing higher education marketing strategies.

Abstract

Teachers are reported to be constrained by financial problems like low salaries, which may negatively affect their teaching performance. Informal financial groups (IFGs) emerged as financial intermediaries, like teachers, to help individuals with financial issues. However, informal financial groups reported being connected to many challenges, including stress and conflicts, thus negatively affecting teaching performance. The proposed research aimed at understanding the implications of informal financial group participation on the teaching performance of female primary school teachers in Dodoma City, Tanzania. The study focused on a population of 63 female primary school teachers, with data collected from 34 respondents through surveys and interviews. Data analysis was employed and analyzed using SPSS and conventional content analysis. The study results were analyzed using descriptive and regression analysis for Quantitative data and content analysis for qualitative data. The findings revealed that female primary school teachers' participation in IFGs does not significantly implicate their teaching performance. Also, the findings show that IFGs are primarily used to secure social support during unexpected events and generate extra income to meet household needs not covered by teachers' low salaries. The study provided discourse on decent financial inclusion that positively impacts work performance, such as that of teachers. The findings inform policymakers to review teachers’ remuneration to sufficiently support their livelihoods to enable them to focus on teaching activities.
