Abstract

Human resources play an important role in ensuring that all business processes in a company run smoothly. Human resources in a company must have competencies and skills that match the company’s needs. The employee recruitment process is the first gateway that must be carried out comprehensively to obtain reliable human resources. However, the company’s recruitment process is still at risk of bias and takes a long time. This study was conducted to identify a strategy for recruiting new employees who are competent according to the qualifications required by the company. This study was developed by applying a preference ordering technique based on similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS). The data criteria used in the study were based on a selection process commonly used in one of the state-owned companies in Indonesia, which included the results of a general intelligence test (TIU), a national insight test (TWK), a field ability test (TKB), and an interview test. The weighting used was TIU 30%, TWK 10% TWK, 20% TKB, and 40% for the interview test. The study results showed that the TOPSIS method can help companies find employees with the competencies that best match the qualifications needed. TOPSIS can also increase the efficiency of the recruitment process time by up to 70%. TOPSIS can help companies find the best 20 candidates in just 7 days, whereas, in the recruitment process, without TOPSIS, the company needs 21 to 30 days. Using TOPSIS, companies can streamline the recruitment process, reduce bias, and reduce maintenance costs.

Abstract

This study fills a knowledge gap regarding the relationship between emotional eating and stress in college students, which has not received adequate attention and there have not been many studies that examine the relationship between these two variables in the context of college students. Stress that cannot be managed properly will lead to emotional eating behavior, which, in the future, can have both physical and mental effects on the sufferer; therefore, this research is needed. This study aimed to determine the effect of emotional eating on stress and to detect variations among studies using meta-analysis techniques. This study hypothesizes that there is a significant relationship between emotional eating and stress in university students. This study analyzed 9 primary studies using the keywords "emotional eating, stress, college" and "emotional eating, stress, adolescent" involving a total sample of n=3005 published in various journals and selected based on specific eligibility criteria. The analysis was conducted using VOSviewer to determine the distribution of publication variables and the PRISMA flow for reviewing the articles obtained in 9 studies. The meta-analysis was conducted using JASP software. The heterogeneity test results showed that the 9 studies were heterogeneous with a p-value <0.001; Q = 27,351. The mean effect size analysis results revealed a significant positive correlation between emotional eating and stress of 0.274 and included in the low category. The results of this meta-analysis are reliable because there is no publication bias and the results can be scientifically validated. This study has several limitations. First, there were only 9 studies analyzed, so the data obtained could have been more extensive. Second, changes in eating patterns based on emotions and responses to stress vary with time and geographical location. Meta-analyses include studies from different times or places that face difficulties in consistently evaluating changes.

Abstract

Male educators in early childhood education represent a small but vital demographic. However, their experiences and challenges have mainly been underexplored due to persistent gender stereotypes and the historically female-dominated nature of the field. This study aimed to address this gap by exploring the lived experiences of male early childhood educators, shedding light on their professional challenges, contributions, and perspectives. Employing a phenomenological research design, the study utilized Colaizzi’s method to analyze data from in-depth semi-structured interviews with ten (10) purposefully selected male educators, each with a minimum of two years of teaching experience. The findings revealed three primary themes. First, male educators demonstrated their resilience and adaptability by using a variety of coping mechanisms to navigate professional and societal challenges, including gender biases and parental skepticism. Second, despite these challenges, they conveyed a deep sense of professional fulfillment from their work, emphasizing their passion for fostering young children’s holistic development and their commitment to reshaping perceptions of male educators in early childhood settings.  Lastly, the results highlighted the increasing interest in male educators as essential father-like figures and positive male role models, reinforcing the need for greater gender inclusivity in early childhood education. The results showed that male educators are as capable of providing excellent learning opportunities and experiences as their female counterparts. Their distinct viewpoints and methods helped create a more varied and stimulating learning environment. This study challenges traditional gender norms and advocates for a more inclusive and equitable early childhood education workforce.

Abstract

The pervasive impact of the Philippine government’s anti-drug campaign has placed significant emotional, social, and moral burdens on families. However, the voices of parents—who often carry the weight of stigma, fear, and uncertainty—remain largely unheard. In the Philippines, the growing problem of illegal drug use has deeply affected not only those directly involved but also their families—particularly parents—whose struggles often go unnoticed. Responding to this gap, this study explored the outcry of parents of drug surrenderers. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, in-depth interviews were conducted with 14 parents in Laak, Davao de Oro, to capture their lived experiences. Thematic analysis revealed three major experiences: emotional turmoil, strength in adversity, and doing what is right. Coping mechanisms included remaining strong and discerning, providing unwavering love and support, and maintaining faith and trust in the Almighty—strategies that enabled them to endure the challenges of substance abuse within the family. Insights shared by participants emphasized perseverance, open communication, and hope in God. These findings highlight the resilience and determination of parents facing the repercussions of drug involvement in their families, underscoring the need for empathetic, culturally sensitive interventions. Recommendations include community-based support programs, peer groups, and educational initiatives to empower parents and strengthen their coping abilities.

Abstract

The effective implementation of a relevant structured management system is considered beneficial to organizations across various industry sectors, promotingpositive institutional and employee outcomes. This study examined the impact of implementing a management system on employee satisfaction and productivity in a local drugstore in the Philippines. Data were gathered from 197 employees using a researcher-structured questionnaire. They employed a descriptive-correlational quantitative research design with frequency and percentage distribution, weighted mean, and t-test as tools used in data analysis. Findings showed that prior to adopting the management system, employee satisfaction with job content and clarity, role clarity, and compensation and benefits were considered acceptable; however, employees expressed dissatisfaction with their career growth and development. After implementation, satisfaction levels increased significantly increased across all dimensions. Productivity also improved, particularly in quality of work, teamwork, and feedback mechanisms, although time management and absenteeism still presented minor areas for improvement. Statistical analysis confirmed significant gains in satisfaction across all dimensions following adoption. From a managerial perspective, the study underscored the importance of structured management systems in fostering organizational effectiveness. Theoretically, it contributed to the discourse on the importance of structured frameworks in the Philippine business setting. However, the single-industry focus limits the generalizability of the findings, and future research should consider diverse sectors and longitudinal designs to assess long-term effects.

Abstract

This study assessed the level of soft skills among third-year AB-English students at Northern Negros State College of Science and Technology during the academic year 2017–2018, to examine their behavioral and developmental implications. Utilizing a descriptive quantitative research design, data were collected through a validated researcher-made questionnaire focusing on eight core soft skills: creativity, time management, conflict management, flexibility, etiquette and good manners, sociability, communication skills, and leadership. Results indicated that the respondents generally possessed high levels of soft skills (grand mean = 4.18), with particularly high ratings in conflict management and etiquette and good manners. No significant differences were found across age and sex, suggesting that these demographic factors did not influence skill levels in this population. From a behavioral perspective, the findings highlight strengths in social interaction and self-management while revealing areas for targeted improvement, such as creativity and flexibility. These insights contribute to behavior-oriented educational strategies by informing curriculum developers and educators on how to design interventions that reinforce essential 21st-century competencies. The results serve as a foundation for an intervention program aimed at enhancing specific soft skills to support students’ academic and professional readiness.

Abstract

Adolescents raised in disharmonious family environments often experience emotional dysregulation, increasing their vulnerability to delinquent behaviors such as minor crimes, rule violations, and social aggression. This study investigates the predictive role of emotional intelligence in mitigating delinquency among adolescents from broken-home families. Utilizing a culturally adapted questionnaire based on Goleman’s emotional intelligence framework and Hawkins' delinquency model, data were collected from 130 participants aged 12–21 years. The findings indicate that emotional intelligence significantly contributes to reducing delinquent behavior, accounting for 33.1% of the variance in this context. The study theoretically underscores the role of emotional regulation as a protective factor in developmental psychology. In practical terms, this study offers empirical evidence to support school- and family-based interventions aimed at strengthening adolescents’ emotional skills.

Abstract

This study investigates how managerial employees’ demographic profiles influence neuroleadership competencies in a Makati City bank. Neuroleadership encompasses four domains—decision-making & problem-solving, emotional regulation, collaboration & influencing others, and facilitating change —each critical in high-stakes financial environments. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design, data were collected from 100 supervisors and managers aged 20 to 59 years. Non-parametric tests (Kruskal–Wallis and chi-square) were applied to assess differences and associations across demographic groups, including age, gender, length of service, industry experience, and leadership training. Results revealed consistently competent to high proficiency across all domains, suggesting strong cognitive and interpersonal leadership capabilities among respondents. Most demographic variables did not significantly affect neuroleadership outcomes, suggesting that competencies may develop uniformly across employees and are shaped more by organizational culture and standardized training than by demographic characteristics. Notable differences emerged only in tenure and leadership training, with longer service and recent training associated with stronger skills in facilitating change and influencing others. The study contributes empirical evidence from the underexplored Philippine banking sector and highlights practical implications for leadership development. Recommendations include scenario-based decision-making exercises, implementation-focused problem-solving workshops, and neuroscience-informed programs tailored for early-tenure employees.

Abstract

In today’s increasingly competitive work environment, employee performance plays a critical role in the success of any organization, especially in public services. However, poor communication and low self-confidence among employees, coupled with monotonous work routines, often lead to procrastination and reduced productivity. These issues not only affect individual performance but also the efficiency of public service delivery. This study aims to examine the influence of interpersonal communication and self-efficacy on employee performance, with procrastination serving as a mediator variable. The research was conducted with employees at the Land Office in City X, using a purposive sampling technique. The results showed that interpersonal communication had a positive path coefficient of 0.290 on employee performance, while self-efficacy had a stronger direct path coefficient of 0.668. The effect of both interpersonal communication and self-efficacy on employee performance through procrastination was weaker, with path coefficients of -0.121 and -0.059, respectively. This study highlights the importance of fostering effective communication and strengthening employees’ self-confidence to enhance performance, and offers valuable insights for improving managerial strategies in public-sector organizations.

Abstract

Leadership plays an important role in shaping the dynamics in the workplace, including stakeholder performance and the overall success of the organization. Effective leadership alongside emotional intelligence can impact the productivity and motivation of an employee. This study assessed the different leadership styles – transactional, transformational, and charismatic and their relationship to emotional intelligence (awareness, empathy, social skills, and motivation). A total of 388 rank-and-file sales personnel in the automotive industry in the National Capital Region in Metro Manila, Philippines participated the survey. Quantitative research using simple random sampling was employed in the study. A self-made survey questionnaire was administered with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.87. The results revealed that the leadership styles and emotional intelligence were extensively exhibited by their immediate supervisor based on the assessment of the respondents. Furthermore, using regression analysis, data revealed that there is a significant relationship between empathy, social skills and motivation when transactional, transformational and charismatic types of leadership were considered. Awareness of the contrary resulted in a significant relationship with transformational and charismatic types of leadership, but not with to transactional types of leadership. This study makes a significant contribution to the understanding of how emotional intelligence influences leadership effectiveness in sales-driven industries. The results underscore the importance of incorporating emotional intelligence training into leadership development programs to foster stronger supervisor-employee relationships and enhance overall organizational performance.
