Abstract

Social media has altered the fabric of public relations practice, redefining how institutions communicate, build trust, and sustain reputation. Nigerian tertiary institutions, though historically reliant on conventional channels, are increasingly compelled to adopt digital platforms to engage stakeholders who now demand immediacy, accessibility, and participation. This study examined the social media strategies employed by selected tertiary institutions in Akwa Ibom State, with particular focus on their effectiveness in public relations practice. The study was hinged on the Uses and Gratifications Theory and the Situational Theory of Publics. The research employed a mixed-methods design, combining survey data from 165 public relations professionals, social media managers, and communication officers with semi-structured interviews conducted with purposively selected practitioners. Findings revealed that while institutions actively use platforms such as Facebook, WhatsApp, Instagram, and Twitter for information dissemination, branding, and interaction, strategic evaluation and measurement of effectiveness remain weak. Respondents highlighted challenges such as inadequate digital infrastructure, poor analytic skills, and limited institutional investment in new communication tools. Nevertheless, evidence pointed to the capacity of social media to advance institutional visibility, strengthen identity, and foster deeper relationships with students, alumni, and the wider community when strategies are deliberately crafted and consistently evaluated. The study concludes that social media is not merely a supplement to traditional public relations but a vital arena for dialogue and institutional storytelling. It recommends structured policies, enhanced training for communication staff, and stronger commitment to evaluation frameworks in order to maximise the transformative potential of digital engagement in Nigerian tertiary institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to develop the first occupation map for Marketing Management aligned with the Indonesian Qualification Framework (IQF). It responds to the persistent gap between higher education outcomes and industry skill requirements, particularly in digital marketing, data analytics, and strategic innovation. Using the Rapid Assessment Process[A1] [A2] (RAP) through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis, the research identified 47 distinct occupations spanning from entry-level roles such as Retail Assistant to senior executive positions like Chief Marketing Officer. The findings reveal that most occupations have yet to be supported by competency standards, highlighting substantial misalignment between educational programs and workforce expectations. This gap underscores the urgency of embedding industry-driven competencies into curricula and developing flexible training and certification pathways. The occupation map provides a strategic framework for policymakers, educational institutions, and industry stakeholders to redesign curricula, guide recruitment, and shape professional development initiatives. By systematically integrating marketing occupations into the IQF, this research contributes a pioneering reference for Indonesia that strengthens graduate employability, supports workforce planning, and enhances global competitiveness in line with ASEAN Mutual Recognition Arrangements (MRA) and the World Economic Forum's call for future-ready skills.

Abstract

In the face of global and national demands for effective public institutions, enhancing civil servant performance is critical. This study examines the influence of organizational commitment and job satisfaction on employee performance at Bappeda in Greater Malang, with religiosity as a moderating variable. This study employed an explanatory research design to test the hypotheses regarding the influence of organizational commitment and job satisfaction on employee performance, with religiosity as a moderating variable. The population consists of all civil servants (except heads) of BAPPEDA in Malang Raya, including: Malang Regency Government, Malang City Government, and Batu City Government, totaling 134 employees. The data were collected through a census rather than sampling because the population was relatively small and to avoid sampling risks. Primary data related to the research variables were collected through Google Forms, sent directly to respondents via WhatsApp. Using an explanatory research approach, the collected data were tested for validity, reliability, and classical assumptions, then analyzed using multiple linear regression moderation. The results of this study prove that: first, organizational commitment has a significant positive effect on employee performance; second, job satisfaction has a significant positive effect on employee performance; third, religiosity can significantly moderate the positive effect of organizational commitment on employee performance; and fourth, religiosity can significantly moderate the positive effect of job satisfaction on employee performance.

Abstract

Romanian President Klaus Werner Iohannis (KWI) was president for the first term from 2014 to 2019 and for the second term from 2019 to 2025. During his time in office, some populist groups in Romania said that joining the European Union (EU) brought economic problems, foreign culture, unhappiness with government, feeling like they lost rights, being unhappy with the EU, and worrying about losing control over their country. This kind of populism happened not only in Romania but also in other EU countries. The goal of this research is to understand what populism means, how people think about it, and how President KWI tried to get support from these populist groups while Romania was part of the EU. This study uses a mix of Heider's attribution theory and Dan Nimmo's political communication ideas. The study guesses that even though some groups were against the EU or Euroscepticism, by using political communication strategies, President KWI could deal with these issues and keep Romania in the EU. The results showed that populist groups kept pushing for anti-EU, anti-elites, anti-establishment, and anti-pluralism ideas to win public support. The public had mixed feelings about these campaigns. By the end of KWI's time in office, more people started to support populists because they lost trust in the government, which wasn't strong enough in fighting corruption. Still, by using political communication strategies, Romania stayed in the EU and joined the Schengen Area on January 1, 2025. Also, President KWI was able to serve two terms.
