Abstract

The importance of training and development in today's competitive corporate environment is widely recognized as a necessary investment in human capital, as it is believed to enhance employee performance, increase engagement, and promote organizational agility. This study evaluated the perceived benefits of training and development in a primary cooperative in the Philippines. This study employed a descriptive-quantitative research design to assess the perceptions of 113 employees regarding the benefits of training and development, using an adopted survey questionnaire prepared in Google Forms. The distribution of questionnaires to the target respondents was conducted via electronic mail and Messenger. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and ANOVA. The study confirmed that the cooperative's employees are predominantly young, with a slightly higher proportion of male employees, and a workforce primarily composed of rank-and-file staff who are just starting their careers at the cooperative. Regarding the benefits of training and development, employees perceived its positive impact across all dimensions, which include goal achievement, collaboration and communication, level of quality and efficiency, and personal and professional attributes. Moreover, the study revealed that there are no significant differences in the perceived benefits of training and development when employees are grouped according to their profile. Finally, the researchers proposed strategies to enhance further the perceived benefits of training and development in the primary cooperative subject. This study can serve as a valuable reference for human resource managers in designing, implementing, monitoring, and evaluating training and development programs provided to employees.

Abstract

Abuse is fair to no one—not even men. While the literature often highlights abuse against women, this study focused on abused men and the feminist defense in William Faulkner’s “A Rose for Emily”, Geoffrey Chaucer’s “The Wife of Bath’s Prologue”, and Edgar Allan Poe’s selected poems. Specifically, this addresses the types of abuse the male characters receive from their female counterparts, the impacts of the abuse on the male victims in the story, and how women justified such abuse. Using content and discourse analysis, characters, themes, and textual evidence (narrative structure, character interactions, and language) in the mentioned literary works were analyzed from the perspectives of masculinity studies and critical feminist theory. Key findings indicated that male characters experienced physical, emotional, psychological, sexual, and economic torture, which caused them to develop psychological trauma and even led to their death. Although these supported the narrative that women were equally capable of abusing men, the feminist point of view framed their actions as self-defense and coping mechanisms for personal trauma. This research contributes to a more critical understanding of gender-based violence and challenges the limitations of legal frameworks that often overlook male victimhood. Further, this can help craft inclusive and effective programs and support services catering to marginalized male victims. This method is also useful for literary scholars interested in gender-based abuse in literature and increases students’ awareness of gender roles—encouraging them to develop impartial views on intimate partner violence (IPV) scenarios.

Abstract

Maternal mortality is a persistent global health concern, and the Southern Senatorial Zone of Taraba State in Nigeria is no exception to this challenge. This study examined the determinants of maternal mortality in the Southern Senatorial District of Taraba State, Nigeria. It utilized a questionnaire-based approach involving a sample of 1218 women of childbearing age, by focusing on three primary factors: quality of healthcare services, cultural influences, and geographical location. The findings of the study revealed significant relationships between cultural factors, quality of healthcare services, and maternal mortality in Southern Senatorial District of Taraba State. Cultural factors were found as the most influential predictor of mortality, with a coefficient of 0.312 (p < 0.001), indicating a positive relationship between cultural influences and maternal mortality rates. Quality of healthcare services also showed a substantial impact, with a coefficient of -0.0123 (p < 0.001), suggesting that higher-quality healthcare services are associated with lower maternal mortality rates. Lastly, location showed a weaker but still significant influence on mortality in the study area, with a coefficient of 0.262 (p < 0.001). This highlights the importance of geographical factors in maternal health outcomes. Based on the findings, the study recommended an array of interventions, encompassing improvements in healthcare infrastructure, mitigation of socioeconomic drivers, enhancement of educational opportunities, empowerment of women, and the implementation of culturally sensitive approaches to reduce maternal mortality within the study area).

Abstract

This study investigated the relationship between Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and parental readiness among fur parents—individuals who consider their pets children, form deep emotional bonds, and assume caregiving roles akin to traditional parenting. An explanatory sequential design was employed, combining quantitative data with qualitative insights. Participants were adults aged 18 or older who identified as fur parents and had chosen not to have biological children. The ACE-Q and READI-SF instruments were utilized to assess ACE exposure and parental readiness. The READI-SF is a 17-item measure assessing readiness to engage in parenting roles, with higher scores indicating greater readiness. An a priori power analysis suggested a sample size of 115 participants; however, due to the group's niche nature, 81 participants were recruited. Quantitative analysis revealed a weak positive correlation between ACE scores and parental readiness (r = 0.17), which was not statistically significant (p = 0.14). The average ACE score was 0.36 (SD = 0.34), indicating low exposure to adverse experiences, while the average READI-SF score was 3.87 (SD = 0.42), reflecting a moderate level of parental readiness. These findings suggest that, within this sample, a history of adverse childhood experiences does not significantly impact an individual's readiness to assume parenting roles. This may be attributed to the limited sample size or conceptual differences between ACEs and readiness for parental involvement. In the qualitative phase, four key themes emerged: (1) Parental Priorities, revealing factors influencing the choice of fur parenting over biological children; (2) Parental Perspectives, reflecting how past experiences shaped views on parenting; (3) Parental Alternatives, examining outcomes and experiences associated with fur parenting as an alternative to traditional parenting; and (4) Fur Parenting Attachment, illustrating how childhood experiences motivated participants to become better caregivers, not only to their pets but also, potentially, to children in the future. These themes provide context for understanding how fur parents perceive their roles and readiness. Overall, the study underscores the need for further research to identify other potential influences on parental readiness.

Abstract

This study evaluated client satisfaction with the services provided by the City College of Calamba (CCC), with particular focus on the implementation of its Citizens' Charter and compliance with Republic Act No. 11032. Using a descriptive research design with 2,633 respondents, the study measured satisfaction across eight service quality dimensions, revealing an overall "Very Satisfactory" rating of 94.32%. The highest scores were in Reliability (95.46%) and Assurance (95.07%), while Costs (90.53%) and Learning Management System (LMS) support were identified as areas needing improvement. Statistical analysis using Goodman and Kruskal's Gamma Correlation demonstrated significant relationships between respondents' awareness of the Citizens' Charter and their satisfaction levels, highlighting the Charter's importance in service quality enhancement. Based on these findings, the study proposed a Continuous Improvement Plan (CIP) for FY 2026 focusing on digitization, staff training, and stakeholder engagement. However, the research had limitations, including reliance on self-reported data, which may introduce response bias, and its cross-sectional design, which limits causal interpretations. The study's focus on a single institution also affects the generalizability of results. For future research, longitudinal studies could assess the long-term impact of CIP implementation, while qualitative approaches, such as interviews, could provide deeper insights into satisfaction drivers. Comparative studies with other institutions would help identify best practices, particularly in addressing cost-related concerns and improving digital service delivery. These research directions would further strengthen CCC's governance framework and service excellence in line with national mandates and stakeholder needs.

Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has a diversity of traditions, languages, religions, cultures, and others. West Nusa Tenggara, one of the provinces in Indonesia also has a diversity of religions, traditions, and cultures. Central Lombok, has quite significant religious diversity, where Muslims are the majority of adherents of Islam among minorities, such as Christians, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhists, and Confucians, as well as adherents of other beliefs. However, the achievement of the tolerance index there over the past five years has been high, ranging from 3.5 - 3.7. Even so, the potential for inter-religious conflict still exists in Central Lombok. The problems of this study: (1) What factors trigger inter-religious disintegration in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara? (2) How does the current regional autonomy policy in Central Lombok accommodate local wisdom as a preventive strategy for inter-religious conflict? (3) What is an effective approach model in integrating local wisdom into regional autonomy policy to prevent inter-religious conflict in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the factors that trigger inter-religious disintegration in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, analyze and review the current regional autonomy policy in Central Lombok in accommodating local wisdom as a preventive strategy for religious conflict, and formulate an effective approach model in integrating local wisdom into regional autonomy policy to prevent inter-religious conflict in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Data collection techniques use observation, in-depth interviews, SLR, and documentation. The collected data will be processed using SLR. The objectives of this study are to map the main factors causing inter-religious disintegration there, to compile an in-depth analysis of regional autonomy policies in Central Lombok related to the accommodation of local wisdom, and to recommend a local wisdom-based approach model that can be effectively integrated into regional autonomy policies to prevent inter-religious conflict in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.

Abstract

What makes a destination iconic has something to do with the unique experience of the tourist, whether seeking novelty or popularity in new places. This study aimed to gain a thorough understanding of tourists’ motivating factors in choosing cultural delicacies as the basis of their travel destination. This utilized a quantitative research design using a descriptive approach. Data were gathered from 376 res9pondents using snowball sampling, and the results were analyzed using frequency distribution, weighted mean, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). The majority of the respondents are female (62%), aged 30 years and below (79.8%), and from Manila (25.5%). The findings revealed that tourists are concerned about cultural delicacies’ characteristics in taste, freshness of ingredients, and visual appearance, all labeled as "very important." In terms of the importance of cultural delicacies, the respondents perceived them as "very important", while in terms of the factors affecting the tourists’ motivation, the three primary influencing factors are price, health concerns, and religion. All respondents, despite their gender, age, and location, have a similar assessment of these characteristics as motivating factors for them to travel. Price is an important consideration when choosing delicacies, followed by health and religion. The respondents have similar assessments of the significant difference between the importance of cultural delicacies and their profile. However, age differences are significant. The study shows that acknowledging budget-friendly, healthy, and religious dietary choices in a delicacy is an important consideration for tourists when they travel. They are increasingly exposed to motivators, leading to satisfaction and loyalty. The study has limitations, generalizing the food characteristics and identifying pull factors for tourists to travel. Hence, future studies are recommended to specify a particular delicacy associated with the identified destination and to explore the impact of cultural delicacies to attract tourists that are sustainable, thereby promoting the destination brand in the Philippines.

Abstract

Sports fests have traditionally promoted fitness, camaraderie, and athletic talent in schools, later expanding to organizations. The annual Sports Fest fostered collaboration through various activities. However, its impact had not been fully assessed. Key factors such as the quality of facilities, event organization, scheduling, and participant experiences were crucial in determining the overall success and reception of the event. This study evaluated the Sports Fest by examining participant satisfaction with facilities, organization, scheduling, and athletic experiences. It also assessed the achievement of goals related to activity takeaways, unity, teamwork, and student participation. The study explored the relationship between satisfaction and goal achievement, identified areas for improvement, and proposed an action plan to enhance future events. The study employed a descriptive-correlational mixed-methods design, utilizing surveys and qualitative feedback from 267 athletes selected through purposive sampling. Participants rated satisfaction on various aspects using a validated questionnaire, while open-ended questions captured qualitative feedback. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, Spearman's rho, and thematic coding, revealing themes such as the need for improved scheduling, enhanced facilities, and better communication for program development and improvement. The Sportsfest promoted athletic excellence, teamwork, and community engagement. Participants praised the focus on health, safety, organization, and inclusivity, but highlighted areas for improvement, such as facilities, scheduling, and officiating. Teamwork was identified as a key strength, while clearer rules, better communication, and improved venues were recommended to enhance satisfaction and unity. The study's limitation was its focus on athletes, excluding non-athletes and spectators, and its cross-sectional design, which limited trend analysis. While qualitative feedback was gathered, conducting in-depth interviews could have provided more detailed insights. External factors like social desirability bias and survey fatigue may have affected result accuracy. Future research could involve a more diverse participant pool, longitudinal methods, and a broader demographic analysis. This study's value lies in its potential to guide targeted improvements, ensuring future Sportsfests better align with participant needs and institutional goals. By addressing gaps in existing research, particularly in linking satisfaction with goal achievement, it contributes to the broader discourse on sports event management and its role in fostering community engagement and inclusivity.
