Abstract

Since society shapes the century we live in, effective communication plays a crucial part in developing our community. It is considered a fundamental and empowering process that efficiently transforms people to be participative, especially in an educational setting. In a place where learning occurs, ensuring the appropriate administration and delivery of processes, procedures, instructions, and other relevant information is essential. This research study aims to present a narrative of the general analysis of Midway Colleges, Inc.'s communication management system (CMS) assessment. In order to achieve its primary objective, assessments were drawn to the information environment, rules, and cycle of communication assessments of the school. The data was treated quantitatively. Three hundred fifty-two internal and external stakeholders of the school participated in answering the study survey questionnaire, which was randomly selected. From the disclosed data collection results, respondents agreed on how the school manages its communication system in terms of the quality of information, communication flow structure, and media and communication platforms. The stakeholders provided some recommendations for maintaining improved communication management systems, such as (1) establishing a standard communication system for Midway Colleges, Inc.; (2) developing organizational list handling communication processes; and (3) provisioning training or seminars for internal stakeholders responsible for information dissemination.

Abstract

This study investigates the attitudes towards sustainable practices in Pakistani hotels and explores the constructs of Green HRM Practices (GHRMP), Green Organizational Behavior (GOB), and Sustainable Environment (SE) as reliable and valid measures of these attitudes. A partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and ecocritical analysis of the language were used to describe the environment and the values and attitudes expressed towards it was conducted, providing valuable insights into the cultural understanding of the natural world and our place within it. The study's results show that Pakistani hotels have a positive attitude towards sustainable practices, with a majority of respondents holding positive views towards GHRMP and GOB, and a slight majority leaning towards a neutral stance. The study also found that the majority of respondents consider the sustainable environment in Pakistani hotels to be important and believe it is necessary to take steps towards an eco-friendlier environment. The constructs of GHRMP, GOB, and SE were found to be reliable and valid measures of attitudes towards sustainable practices in Pakistani hotels, with strong associations between the items in the constructs and high levels of internal consistency. Discriminant validity was also established, indicating good discriminant validity between the constructs. Overall, the study's findings suggest that promoting green HRM practices and encouraging green organizational behavior can lead to improved environmental sustainability practices and business performance in Pakistani hotels. These results have significant implications for the hospitality industry in Pakistan and can help future research and policy decisions aimed at promoting to invest in renewable energy sources and use environmentally friendly products to reduce their impact on the environment.

Abstract

In Philip K. Dick’s short story “Piper in the Woods”, an increasing number of personnel on Asteroid Y-3       began identifying themselves as plants rather than humans after an encounter with the natives. Because the plants were unconcerned with work, their superiors were alarmed and attempted to unravel the mystery behind such a drastic transformation. This research studies, via textual analysis from a Marxist perspective, the ways in which capitalist ideologies are portrayed, reproduced, and resisted in the story. It was found that generally, humans perceive productivity as an essential part of their nature, and the only way to become valuable is by working. Under capitalism, wage labour is indeed crucial both for the working class to earn a living and for capitalists to accumulate even more capital. By this logic, the plants and asteroid natives that are content with minimal labor were considered primitive savages, even though they are perfectly self-sufficient. This is perhaps ironic given mankind’s insights into the tremendous stress stemming from the need to always be productive and that becoming a plant could be a form of resistance. Nevertheless, the idleness of the former humans was treated simply as a mental disorder that has to be cured so that the status quo can be maintained. This study would hopefully prompt readers to examine stories such as this one from a more critical perspective and demand meaningful changes over simple solutions about issues arising from the capitalist system.

Abstract

Usage of online dating applications increased during the peak of the pandemic, and along with this are the concerns about the mental health of young adults. The study focused on the effects of self-objectification on the relationship between online dating application usage and the mental well-being of its users. A total of 204 participants were gathered from five cities within the bounds of Metro Manila: Quezon City (22%), Manila (44%), San Juan (14%), Mandaluyong (11%), and Caloocan (10%). This study treated the data quantitatively using regression and moderation analysis in Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS). The findings of the study revealed that there was a moderately negative relationship between online dating applications usage and mental well–being of Filipino young adults (r = -.315; p = .000). This further revealed that frequent usage of online dating applications resulted to lower levels of life and relationship satisfaction, self–esteem, and higher negative affect, body consciousness, and symptoms of eating disorders. However, the study revealed no moderating effect between self-objectification and the relationship between online dating application usage and its users' mental well–being (p = 0.3102). An action plan was proposed to aid online dating application users in dealing with the consequences of too much exposure to the objectifying world of social media in general.

Abstract

This study examined the recidivism of Children-in-Conflict with the Law (CICL) using three (3) theories, the Ecological Systems Theory, Labeling Theory, and Differential Association Theory. Utilizing Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), children ages 15 years and 1 day but not more than 18 years old with pending cases at law who had previously committed offenses at the Barangay or Prosecutor level in Second Chance Home of Calamba (SCH) were asked utilizing a semi-structured interview. To understand how the theories influenced the persistence of recidivism among CICL, the researcher examined their physical, social, and cultural backgrounds. This study generated eleven (11) superordinate themes which were: Dysfunctional Households; Multifaceted Issues in Early School Leaving; Inconsistent Community Support; Offender Profiling; Perceived Psychological Distress due to Formal Labels; Social Marginalization; Inexistent CICL Segregation; Social Modeling; and Delinquent Peers and Family.This study aimed to inform policies and practices that may aid in lowering or stopping CICL recidivism by studying how these theories manifest in participants' actual experiences. By identifying the risk factors associated with recidivism, researchers and policymakers may develop personalized prevention programs that address the core causes of delinquency and aid at-risk adolescents. Investigating recidivism among CICL can result in safer communities and better outcomes for young people involved in the criminal system. This study also proposed an enhanced diversion program for CICL who are currently receiving rehabilitation, CICL who are released as minors, and CICL who are released as adults.

Abstract

As African societies continue to experience rapid social and economic transformations, traditional family systems are undergoing significant shifts, giving way to new forms and dynamics, with the diffusion of Western cultural values, ideologies, and practices being identified as a major catalyst in reshaping family structures across the continent. This paper explored the impact of Westernization on the African traditional family, focusing on causes, dynamics, and effects. It explored the dimensions of Westernization and its impact on family life in Africa, encompassing areas such as marriage patterns, household sizes, gender roles, divorce rates, intergenerational relationships, and the dynamics of kinship networks. Utilizing a systematic literature review (SLR) methodology, this research aggregated and synthesized insights from an array of scholarly works spanning cultural sociology, globalization studies, and African family dynamics and captured how Western ideals, such as individualism, gender equality, and nuclear family models, have both challenged and coexisted with traditional norms, often leading to a shift from traditional arranged marriages to more self-centred decisions like dating and cohabitation. The paper argued further that the influence of Westernization on family structures in Africa is multidimensional, with both positive and negative outcomes. As African societies navigate the complexities of cultural preservation and adaptation, balancing traditional values and Western influences is crucial for maintaining harmonious family dynamics across generations. The paper concluded by emphasizing the need for informed approaches to understanding the impact of Westernization on African family structures.

Abstract

It is difficult to contextualize the spirit of gotong royong that underlies communal life in ancient times to build modern teamwork. Questions arise about the incompatibility between gotong royong and modernity. This research aims to conceptually explore what underlies this incompatibility, how this incompatibility makes it difficult to build modern teamwork, and what solutions can be taken to overcome these difficulties. The traditional literature review method was chosen to achieve its objectives because the method provided flexibility to explore ideas, concepts, and insights from a variety of relevant literatures in various disciplines. Relevancy, comprehensiveness, and depth of conceptual assessment were used as criteria to select targeted literatures. The research results showed a sharp incompatibility, namely that gotong royong is characterized by a communal way of life whose principles are “giving” and “mutual giving,” while modernity is characterized by individualism, economism, and instrumentalism whose basic principles are “taking/having” and “mutual taking/having.” Sharp incompatibility is prone to producing a crisis of individual self-integrity and a culture of non-transparency, which in turn creates difficulties in building modern teamwork. A solution was proposed, namely, building self-integrity, which is conceptualized as a virtue acquired through identifying oneself with ideal communities (teams, organizations, social institutions, or human communities generally) of which one is a member. The self-integrity solution emphasizes individual aspects, places practical ethics at the center of the education system, and promotes ethical leadership.

Abstract

This study examines the digital marketing strategy of Lagoon Avenue Mall Sungkono Surabaya, Indonesia, in promoting Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5), focusing on women’s empowerment. Employing a qualitative approach, the study delves into the strategies implemented by the mall’s internal team and provides insights from community partners and event organizers who have collaborated with the mall. The combination of internal and external perspectives provides a comprehensive view of digital marketing efforts and challenges faced in achieving SDG 5. Findings indicate that while Lagoon Avenue Mall has succeeded in targeting specific market segments and developing mall-based events, several areas require enhancement. Challenges include imprecise audience targeting, inadequate campaign performance evaluation, lackluster content, and low user engagement. Administrative issues related to rental contracts, uncertainty about non-financial collaboration benefits, and competition from other malls also pose significant obstacles. This study offers actionable recommendations for improving digital marketing strategies to support SDG 5 goals, particularly empowering women. By refining these strategies and addressing the identified challenges, Lagoon Avenue Mall can more effectively contribute to sustainable development and meet the objectives of the SDG agenda.

Abstract

Panday, the Filipino term for carpenter, has a unique language of its own, filled with specialized jargon that is integral to the craft. Despite the significance of panday jargons in the Filipino boat-making culture, very few know the semantic functions of these terminologies. This study aims to compile these boat-maker jargons and determine their semantics as to how they are used in the field of work. Because the study focuses on the use of language in different cultural groups, particularly boat makers, ethnolinguistic design was used. This study employed convenience sampling, with researchers selecting participants with at least 10 years of experience as boat makers. Responses were analyzed using thematic analysis and jargon-filtered before they were categorized using a matrix. Accordingly, the study determined the jargon used in materials, equipment, tools, wooden boat parts, and processes. The data also showed additional jargon that were not categorized yet are essential in the field of boat making, such as inadlaw, pakyaw, master, and helper. These jargons created concepts encompassing the boat-making culture. This included the apprenticeship that determined the master and the helper and labor agreements, such as inadlaw and pakyaw. This daily routine of labor exposes workers to tools, thus affecting their routine if not brought. The participants’ statements proved that their job has had a meaningful impact on their lives since they started it. Further research exploring topics in similar fields is recommended to examine the distinctions between jargon in different geographical and cultural contexts.

Abstract

The Philippine educational system has faced several challenges, including a teacher shortage that created pedagogical difficulties across many subjects. This study identified the language and pedagogical challenges that English teachers encounter when teaching the Filipino subject. The researchers used the transcendental phenomenology method to collect data through one-on-one interviews with English teachers. The data explicitation was done by using the modified Van Kaam Analysis to characterize the challenges English teachers face by examining the respondents and then comparing and contrasting their responses by following the seven (7) steps: listing and grouping, reduction and elimination, clustering and thematizing, validation, individual textual description, individual structural description, and textural-structural description. This study revealed that the challenges faced by English teachers in teaching the Filipino subject were as follows: (1) the misplacement of English teachers because of a shortage of teachers; (2) the need for out-of-field pedagogical adjustment; and (3) rapid language transition. Moreover, presenting interventions like using various strategies and approaches to address these challenges.
