Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to identify the need, design, validity, practicality, and effectiveness of developing digital modules for Islamic Religious Education to enhance students’ learning independence. Research methodology: This study examines a type of research and development (R&D) and develops a digital module for Islamic Education using the ADDIE model (analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation). A learning independence questionnaire was administered to 70 students at Insan Cendekia Madani Middle School, Serpong, to assess the effectiveness of the module delivered via an online platform. Results: The results indicate the need for a digital Islamic Religious Education module to enhance students' learning independence. The design produced a module, supporting tools, and research instruments. Validation tests confirmed the validity of the module based on expert evaluations. Conclusion: The developed digital Islamic Religious Education module is a valid and potentially effective tool for promoting student learning independence. The structured design and integration with online platforms support interactive, flexible, and self-paced learning, which aligns with current educational demands.Limitation: This research was limited to a single school context with a relatively small sample size of 70 students, which may affect the generalizability of the findings to other regions or educational settings. Furthermore, this study primarily measured short-term learning independence without assessing its long-term impact.Contribution: This study contributes to the growing body of literature on digital learning in Islamic Religious Education by offering a validated and practical module design based on the ADDIE model. It provides a replicable framework for educators and policymakers seeking to enhance independent learning through technology-assisted instruction in similar educational contexts in the future.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the impact of education reforms under the New Uzbekistan initiative on university students’ social responsibility, particularly emphasizing civic engagement and participation in community-oriented action. The main objective was to evaluate how effectively these reforms translate into socially responsible behavior and how they contribute to shaping students’ civic identity, moral awareness, and long-term commitment to national development. Research Methodology: A qualitative interpretive phenomenological approach was employed to explore how students internalize social responsibility through moral education, career decision making, and cultural values. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with students, educators, and parents to capture their perspectives. This method makes it possible to analyze the influence of family upbringing, institutional mentorship, and cultural traditions while also highlighting the interaction between educational reforms, social expectations, and individual decision-making processes. Results: The findings show that youth social responsibility in New Uzbekistan is rooted in knowledge, moral integrity, and ethical values, and is strengthened by family support, school learning, state initiatives, and cultural–religious heritage. Conclusions: Social responsibility enhances personal development, leadership, and societal participation. It also encourages collaboration, innovation, and global competitiveness, while strengthening community welfare. Limitations: The qualitative focus on sociocultural narratives may not represent the diversity of youth across all regions or socioeconomic groups, and interpretive reliance restricts generalizability of the findings. Contribution: This study provides a culturally rooted framework for understanding how education, family, and institutional support collectively shape youth responsibility in the context of national reforms in Uzbekistan.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to develop a comprehensive conceptual framework representing all aspects of the Readymix Concrete Supply Chain, including Environment, Product, Method, Supply Chain, Time, and Finance. It seeks to identify the main probable causes of operational issues using the Kepner-Tregoe analysis to support effective decision-making. Methodology: The Kepner-Tregoe analysis was applied to evaluate the situation and identify the root causes. SWOT analysis was then used to analyze the internal and external factors affecting company performance and generate strategic alternatives. Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) conducted pairwise comparisons based on five solution criteria: Cost, Flexibility & Adaptability, Schedule, Product Quality, and Supply Chain Reliability. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to prioritize three alternative solutions for PT. Results: Findings indicate that constructing a new batching plant ranks as the top alternative, with a priority score of 50.3%, aligning strongly with the five key criteria and demonstrating high feasibility for implementation. Conclusion: The decision to establish a new batching plant can improve supply chain performance, provided that risk mitigation, budget planning, and site mapping are completed before the execution. Limitations: The study is limited by its reliance on expert judgment and single-company analysis, which may restrict generalizability. Contribution: This research offers a practical decision-making framework that integrates the Kepner-Tregoe, SWOT, and AHP methods to optimize operational efficiency and strategic planning in the concrete supply chain sector.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify and analyze effective psychological and pedagogical methods for developing students’ self-awareness and reflective abilities as essential components of personal and professional growth. It focuses on constructing a reflective learning model that integrates metacognitive, emotional, behavioral, and motivational dimensions within higher education. Methods: The research employed a mixed-method design combining theoretical, empirical, and experimental approaches. It was conducted in three stages: theoretical analysis, diagnostic-experimental implementation, and evaluative reflection. Data were collected using self-awareness and reflection scales, self-assessment questionnaires, reflective diaries, and interviews. Statistical tools, including t-tests and correlation analysis, were applied to measure the effectiveness of the interventions. Results: Findings showed significant improvement in the experimental group’s self-awareness (+26%), emotional regulation (+21%), reflective thinking (+28%), and self-assessment accuracy (+24%) compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Students reported greater motivation, autonomy, and empathy, supported by enhanced metacognitive awareness and emotional intelligence. Conclusion: Systematic reflection-based pedagogy fosters deeper learning, self-regulation, and professional maturity. The integration of reflective dialogue, journaling, and portfolio-based learning effectively enhances students’ introspection, self-control, and adaptive capacity. Limitation: The study was limited to one academic institution and a 12-week intervention period, suggesting the need for longitudinal and cross-cultural research. Contribution: The research contributes a validated psychological-pedagogical model of reflective learning, offering practical strategies for embedding self-awareness development into higher education curricula to promote lifelong learning and self-directed growth.

Abstract

Purpose: The aim of this study is to explain how entrepreneurs can benefit from using a brand community (BC) within a two-sided market, especially when they face difficulties in getting financial support. The study focuses on how ideas from Bangladesh-based research can help us understand online financial services, mainly equity crowdfunding. Methods: This research was carried out in Bangladesh and used netnography and qualitative methods to study an equity crowdfunding platform (ECFP). Online observations, community interactions, and qualitative data were collected from users of the platform to understand how the brand community works and supports the system. Results: The study found that in a two-sided market, the brand community around an equity crowdfunding platform (BCB) provides much more than digital funding. Community members also offer skills, social support, personal and professional contacts, and networking opportunities. These non-financial contributions strengthen the whole platform and help both entrepreneurs and investors. Conclusion: The findings show that a brand community embedded within an equity crowdfunding platform functions as a strategic resource that reinforces digital financing, promotes cooperative interactions, and supports ecosystem sustainability for entrepreneurs, investors, and platform managers. Limitation: The study is limited to qualitative data from one country and one type of crowdfunding platform, which may not fully represent other regions or financial systems. Contribution: This study shows how traditional ideas about brand communities can be adapted for modern digital financial services. It contributes to research in marketing, entrepreneurship, and digital finance, and gives managers practical insights for improving investor loyalty and business development in two-sided markets, especially in Bangladesh.

Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practices in Bangladeshi banks influence customer trust and loyalty. It aims to understand whether CSR helps banks gain a competitive advantage, build stronger customer relationships, and improve long-term sustainability and profitability. Methods: This study uses a quantitative research approach. Data will be collected through a structured survey using stratified random sampling of 300 customers from at least five major banks in Bangladesh known for their CSR activities. The survey focuses on customer awareness, perception of CSR initiatives, trust, and loyalty, supported by secondary data such as CSR reports and academic literature. Data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression analysis, covering CSR dimensions such as community engagement, environmental sustainability, and financial inclusion in both urban and rural areas. Results: The study is expected to show that strong CSR practices improve customer perceptions of a bank’s ethics, reliability, and honesty, which boosts customer trust. Higher trust is likely to lead to greater customer loyalty, including retention and positive word-of-mouth. Banks that communicate CSR activities clearly are also expected to gain more satisfaction and brand advocacy. Findings will identify which CSR activities matter most and how they strengthen long-term customer relationships and competitive advantage. Conclusion: CSR is expected to significantly enhance customer trust and loyalty and reinforce sustainable competitive positioning for banks in Bangladesh. Limitation: This study is limited to selected banks and relies on self-reported survey responses, which may not fully capture customer behavior across the entire banking sector. Contribution: This study contributes to CSR, marketing, and banking strategy by providing empirical evidence on how CSR shapes trust and loyalty. It offers practical guidance for banks and policymakers and provides insights relevant to other developing countries.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the underlying motivations behind share repurchases by U.S. companies and evaluates their impact on firm performance. It specifically explores financial conditions, managerial incentives, and market-related factors that drive buyback decisions, as well as the short- and long-term consequences for shareholders. Methodology/Approach: A quantitative, deductive approach is applied using data from publicly listed U.S. firms. Secondary data are sourced from Compustat, CRSP, ExecuComp, Bloomberg, and SEC filings. The analysis employs panel regressions, event-study methods, and multiple robustness checks conducted with statistical software such as Stata or R. Results/Findings: The findings indicate that free cash flow availability and perceived stock undervaluation are the most influential determinants of repurchases. Buyback announcements produce positive short-term market reactions, and firms demonstrate subsequent improvements in ROE and EPS. Nevertheless, share repurchases do not consistently enhance long-term abnormal stock returns. The results also show no significant reduction in investment, R&D, or employment, implying that buybacks are typically financed through excess liquidity. Conclusions: Share repurchases primarily function as a mechanism for capital allocation rather than a substitute for productive investment. While they generate short-term value for shareholders, their long-term effects tend to be neutral. Limitations: The study is restricted to U.S. firms and a specific time frame, and endogeneity concerns remain despite methodological controls. Contribution: This research advances understanding of buyback motives and outcomes, offering insights for managers, investors, and policymakers in evaluating repurchase strategies.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how leadership style and job stress influence employee performance at Ukrida Hospital, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. Methodology: A quantitative survey was conducted with 134 permanent employees (tenure >6 months). Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS). Results: Leadership style positively affects job satisfaction and performance. Job stress also shows a positive effect on both job satisfaction and employee performance. Job satisfaction further enhances performance and significantly mediates the effects of leadership style and job stress. These findings indicate that challenge-related stress can improve employee outcomes. Conclusion: The study provides empirical evidence that effective leadership styles and well-managed work stress can enhance job satisfaction and employee performance at Ukrida Hospital. The results highlight the importance of leadership strategies and stress management practices in improving the quality of human resources. Limitations: The research is limited to one hospital, uses a cross-sectional survey design, and focuses only on employees with more than six months of tenure. These factors may restrict generalizability and the ability to infer long-term causal relationships. Contribution: This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating the dual role of job stress when perceived as a challenge in improving satisfaction and performance, and by confirming the mediating function of job satisfaction in healthcare organizational settings. It also offers practical insights for hospital management in designing leadership and stress-management interventions to improve employee outcomes.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines how simile functions as a central stylistic and cognitive device in shaping the concept of narcissism in Dr. Ravani’s It’s Not You, particularly in representing narcissistic abuse, emotional trauma, and recovery. Research Methodology: The research employs a qualitative interpretive literary–stylistic approach. The primary corpus is Dr. Ravani’s It’s Not You, analyzed through simile identification, thematic classification, and theoretical interpretation using Cognitive Metaphor Theory, Narrative Identity Theory, and psychological trauma literature. Results: The findings reveal that similes effectively translate abstract psychological phenomena into vivid experiential images. Similes depict the invisible mechanics of manipulation, the cyclical structure of narcissistic abuse, the emotional validation of victims, the fragile vulnerability behind narcissistic grandiosity, and the complexity of post-traumatic recovery. These figurative expressions enhance reader understanding, emotional resonance, and psychoeducational accessibility. Conclusion: Simile operates not merely as a stylistic ornament but as a powerful cognitive, therapeutic, and narrative tool. Through simile, It’s Not You successfully bridges clinical explanation and emotional experience, fostering both intellectual insight and psychological validation for survivors of narcissistic abuse. Limitation: This study focuses on a single self-help text and relies on interpretive analysis, limiting generalization across broader literary and clinical discourse. Contribution: This research contributes to interdisciplinary studies by integrating cognitive linguistics, literary stylistics, and trauma psychology, highlighting the crucial role of figurative language in psychoeducational and therapeutic narratives.
