This study aims to determine servant leadership on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) with employee empowerment and leader-member exchange (LMX) as a mediating variable and gender as a moderating variable in PT Mandiri (Persero) Tbk Region I / Sumatra 1. Analytical research design Multiple regression is used as an analytical tool to determine the direction of the variables studied and to justify how significant the influence of the independent and dependent variables is through the mediating and moderating variables. In this study using an associative method with a quantitative approach. In this study, a population of 113 employees and a sample of 113 employees at PT Mandiri (Persero) Tbk Region I / Sumatra 1. The results of this study indicate that the variable servant leadership has no significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) moderated by gender. Servant leadership has a significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) mediated by employee empowerment. Servant leadership has a significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) mediated by leader-member exchange (LMX).Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji dampak kepemimpinan melayani terhadap organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) melalui pemberdayaan pekerja dan interaksi atasan bawahan sebagai pemediasi dan gender sebagai pemoderasi di PT Mandiri (Persero) Tbk Region I / Sumatra 1. Metode selisih mutlak, uji t sampel bebas, dan metode kausal step dari Baron & Kenny digunakan sebagai teknik analisis untuk menguji hipotesis penelitian. Populasi dan sampel adalah 113 karyawan outsoucing di PT Mandiri (Persero) Tbk Region I/Sumatra 1 dengan penggunan teknik sampling jenuh. Hasil riset membuktikan bahwa kepemimpinan melayani tidak berdampak signifikan terhadap OCB dengan gender sebagai pemoderasi. Gender bukanlah variabel moderasi dalam model penelitian ini. Karyawan outsourcing baik laki-laki maupun perempuan memiliki persepsi yang sama baiknya terhadap kepemimpinan melayani yang berlangsung di perusahaan dan memberikan respon yang sama dalam bentuk perilaku OCB yang relatif tinggi antar kedua kelompok karyawan tersebut. Keberadaan variabel kepemimpinan melayani sudah cukup sebagai anteseden munculnya perilaku OCB yang baik pada diri karyawan, tanpa diperkuat atau diperlemah oleh karakteristik gender karyawan. Kepemimpinan melayani juga berdampak signifikan dalam membentuk OCB dimediasi pemberdayaan pekerja dan interaksi atasan dan bawahan. Pemimpin yang menerapkan karakter kepemimpinan kasih sayang, pemberdayaan, visi dan kerendahan hati akan mampu memberdayakan pekerja dengan lebih baik dan mengkondisikan interaksi antara atasan dan bawahan yang mampu membentuk perilaku OCB yang kontributif bagi organisasi. Perusahaan perlu mengkondisikan pemberdayaan pekerja dan interaksi atasan bawahan antara lain upaya-upaya memperbesar berbagi kekuasaan, informasi, pengetahuan, ganjaran, penghargaan dan kepatuhan. Riset lanjutan juga perlu dilakukan dengan landasan teoritis dan empiris atas berbagai variabel yang dapat mempengaruhi OCB dan memprediksi kinerja karyawan dengan lebih akurat.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to identify levels of self-compassion in adults who do and do not stutter and to determine whether self-compassion predicts the impact of stuttering on quality of life in adults who stutter. Method Participants included 140 adults who do and do not stutter matched for age and gender. All participants completed the Self-Compassion Scale. Adults who stutter also completed the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering. Data were analyzed for self-compassion differences between and within adults who do and do not stutter and to predict self-compassion on quality of life in adults who stutter. Results Adults who do and do not stutter exhibited no significant differences in total self-compassion, regardless of participant gender. A simple linear regression of the total self-compassion score and total Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering score showed a significant, negative linear relationship of self-compassion predicting the impact of stuttering on quality of life. Conclusions Data suggest that higher levels of self-kindness, mindfulness, and social connectedness (i.e., self-compassion) are related to reduced negative reactions to stuttering, an increased participation in daily communication situations, and an improved overall quality of life. Future research should replicate current findings and identify moderators of the self-compassion–quality of life relationship.

Description Task

Purpose The study sets out to investigate inter- and intraspeaker variation in German infant-directed speech (IDS) and considers the potential impact that the factors gender, parental involvement, and speech material (read vs. spontaneous speech) may have. In addition, we analyze data from 3 time points prior to and after the birth of the child to examine potential changes in the features of IDS and, particularly also, of adult-directed speech (ADS). Here, the gender identity of a speaker is considered as an additional factor. Method IDS and ADS data from 34 participants (15 mothers, 19 fathers) is gathered by means of a reading and a picture description task. For IDS, 2 recordings were made when the baby was approximately 6 and 9 months old, respectively. For ADS, an additional recording was made before the baby was born. Phonetic analyses comprise mean fundamental frequency (f0), variation in f0, the 1st 2 formants measured in /i: ɛ a u:/, and the vowel space size. Moreover, social and behavioral data were gathered regarding parental involvement and gender identity. Results German IDS is characterized by an increase in mean f0, a larger variation in f0, vowel- and formant-specific differences, and a larger acoustic vowel space. No effect of gender or parental involvement was found. Also, the phonetic features of IDS were found in both spontaneous and read speech. Regarding ADS, changes in vowel space size in some of the fathers and in mean f0 in mothers were found. Conclusion Phonetic features of German IDS are robust with respect to the factors gender, parental involvement, speech material (read vs. spontaneous speech), and time. Some phonetic features of ADS changed within the child's first year depending on gender and parental involvement/gender identity. Thus, further research on IDS needs to address also potential changes in ADS.

Speech Naturalness

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate how speech naturalness relates to masculinity–femininity and gender identification (accuracy and reaction time) for cisgender male and female speakers as well as transmasculine and transfeminine speakers. Method Stimuli included spontaneous speech samples from 20 speakers who are transgender (10 transmasculine and 10 transfeminine) and 20 speakers who are cisgender (10 male and 10 female). Fifty-two listeners completed three tasks: a two-alternative forced-choice gender identification task, a speech naturalness rating task, and a masculinity/femininity rating task. Results Transfeminine and transmasculine speakers were rated as significantly less natural sounding than cisgender speakers. Speakers rated as less natural took longer to identify and were identified less accurately in the gender identification task; furthermore, they were rated as less prototypically masculine/feminine. Conclusions Perceptual speech naturalness for both transfeminine and transmasculine speakers is strongly associated with gender cues in spontaneous speech. Training to align a speaker's voice with their gender identity may concurrently improve perceptual speech naturalness. Supplemental Material https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.12543158

Telepractice is an exciting addition to the arsenal of speech-language pathologists for delivering services. Efficacy data continues to emerge proving the benefit of using available technology to provide assessment and treatment for persons with a variety of communication disorders, ages, and gender. In addition to providing assessment and treatment using telepractice technology, several professional issues have arisen which must be addressed before implementation of this service delivery system. Licensure and reimbursement have been at the forefront, as well they should. However, client safety is another issue that should also be addressed. Providing speech pathology services in a safe environment is a concept which may not have been considered before technological advances made it possible to provide services to someone while not being physically present.
