This study aimed to determine the impact transformational leadership on employee engagement teachers of state vocational high schools. This research uses the quantitative-causal approach as the method of survey research. This approach was chosen to analyze the relationship patterns between variables with the aim to know the direct effect of a set of exogenous variable toward the endogen variable. In this research, transformational leadership is an exogenous variable, and employee engagement is an endogen variable. This research was conducted in  The State Vocational High Schools in Depok City (West Java Province).  The analysis unit in this research is the teachers from The State Vocational High Schools. The population is all the teachers in State Vocational High Schools which live in Depok with a total of 166 teachers out of 4 schools. The samples were selected with the simple random sampling method by choosing the members of the population randomly, ignoring the classes (levels) of each of the population members, bearing in mind that the population is homogenous and has a large number. From the existing population, the number of samples was calculated with the Slovin formula. Therefore, the sample used in this research is 118 teachers. To obtain data in this research, a questionnaire was used for the two variables: transformational leadership (X), and employee engagement  (Y).  All the questionnaires were filled in by teachers from The State Vocational High Schools in Depok.

The coronavirus pandemic is having an economic impact, previously non-existent, on the world economy. The objective of this study is to analyze the impact of COVID-19 on agri-food companies in the region of Extremadura (Spain). A multiple-case study based on in-depth interviews was carried out in the period February 2020–January 2021. The results reveal the existence of negative and positive impacts, both financial (decrease in turnover; decrease/displacement in the demand for products; budget reduction in R&D projects; increase in certain product sales) and operational (difficulty in marketing activities, lack of staff, stoppage in company activity, and supply problems), depending, principally, on the nature of the products, the changes generated in consumer behavior, and mobility problems. Likewise, changes were observed in processes (search of clients in other markets, increased use of technology in communication and marketing activities, and development of new products) and procedures (reorganization of personnel activities, implementation of new health protocols) in companies to overcome the obstacles imposed by the new situation. In conclusion, the change in surrounding conditions, and the characteristics of the spread of the pandemic, have impacted on the strategies, behavior, processes, dynamics and results of organizations regardless of their size and the nature of their work product or service.

Mark Verheyden Internal communication and the unrealized dialogic potential of social media According to the excellence theory, which is still a dominant normative framework in public relations today, communication professionals should strive for two-way symmetrical interactions with their interlocutors. In the past, such interactions were severely complicated by the lack of suitable tools. Social media, known to afford interactivity, appear to offer the solution to this problem. However, research has shown that social media are predominantly used to push content. In order to understand why this is the case, we decided to study the perceptions of ‘knowledgeable outsiders’. More specifically, we organized a series of in-depth interviews with human resources executives in which we asked them about the impact of social media on internal communication, a sub-discipline within public relations. While these executives welcomed the interactive potential of social media, this interactive potential was not seen as the sole prerogative of professional communicators. Furthermore, they believed that the current approach of internal communicators towards social media, which is still very much focused on the use of social media as extra channels through which to ‘push’ content, is partially the reason why the dialogic potential of the latter is still largely unrealized. Keywords: excellence theory, public relations, social media, human resources executives, in-depth interviews

Through the results of observations and in-depth interviews, it is evident that most teachers (85%) who are school cooperative managers have never had the opportunity to attend training/workshops on the management of school cooperatives that are good and right. Most teachers who become school cooperative managers (90%) do not have an economic / accounting education background. Most school cooperatives in public vocational high schools majoring in technology and engineering are not legal entities. The solutions offered are training and mentoring as well as improving the legal status of school cooperatives to become cooperative legal entities. The method or approach offered to solve partner problems is training, mentoring, and supervision. At the time of the training, we provided material regarding Recognize Self Potency and also provided the SIKOP software and the guidebook.
