Organisational culture is a system of shared beliefs and values in the organisation and directs its members' behaviour. There are various factors of change that influence organisational culture; various things are done to anticipate changes in the shift from the present situation to the desired conditions in a sustainable change. On the one hand, change occurs because of external factors that encourage change; on the other hand, change is an internal need. Change can be interpreted as absolute and unavoidable because of the strong external impulse and internal needs. This research carried out at PT Briscor Horizon in 2020. This research was qualitative, namely research that intends to understand the phenomenon of what is experienced by the research subject holistic, and by way of description in the form of words and language, in a particular natural context and by utilising various natural methods. Data collection techniques used by researchers are interviews, documentation, and field observations.

Although statistical evidence seems to be lacking. it is at present widely acknowledged that organisational culture has the potential of having a significant effect on organisational performance. An analysis of sustained superior financial performance of certain American organisations has attributed their success to the culture that each of them had developed. It has been proposed that these organisations are characterised by a strong set of core managerial values that define the ways in which they conduct business. how they treat employees, customers, suppliers and others. Culture is to the organisation what personality is to the individual. It is a hidden but unifying force that provides meaning and direction and has been defined as the prevailing background fabric of prescriptions and proscriptions for behaviour, the system of beliefs and values and the technology and task of the organisation together with the accepted approaches to these. Recent studies have indicated that corporate culture has an impact on a firm's long-term financial performance: that corporate culture will probably be an even more important factor in determining the success or failure of firms in the next decade; that corporate cultures that inhibit long-term financial performance are not rare and that they develop easily. even in firms that are staffed by reasonable and intelligent people; and that corporate cultures, although difficult to change, can be made more performance enhancing. The purpose of this study, therefore, was to establish the statistical relationship between organisational culture and financial performance.

This article examines how agency should be conceptualized to manage the pressing problems of the Anthropocene in support of sustainable change. The article reviews and analyzes literature on agency in relation to planetary boundaries, advancing the relational view of agency in which no actors are granted a primary ontological status, and agency is not limited to humans but may be attributed to other actors. This understanding of agency can effectively contribute to sustainable organizations; on the one hand, it enables non-anthropocentrism and on the other hand, admits that networks bind actors. We conclude that boundary blurring (between actors) and boundary formation (between actors and networks) are complementary processes. Consequently, relationality is proposed as an applicable means of respecting planetary boundaries, while recognizing that all action flows through circuits of power whose obligatory passage points are the major conduits for intervention. Intervention occurs through regulation and nudging action such as ecotaxation.

Purpose – This paper aims to investigate the use of blind marking to increase the ability of criterion-referenced marking to discriminate students’ varied levels of knowledge and skill mastery in a business communication skills course. Design/methodology/approach – The business communication course in this study involved more than 10 teachers and 350 students each semester. Data were collected from four semesters of assignment grades to compare the distribution of grades in semesters that used blind marking and in the one that did not (the control group). The standard deviations of marks for each assignment were calculated and compared. Findings – Findings show that blind marking contributed to a wider spread of marks. The study concludes that blind marking, when implemented together with criterion-referenced marking rubrics, can improve the ability of qualitative assessments to discriminate student achievement levels. Originality/value – Research in the use of criterion-referenced marking rubrics has revealed that assessing with marking rubrics resulted in a wider range of marks awarded because assessors felt that the rubrics helped them make more objective judgments of students’ work (Kuisma, 1999). By this token, it could be argued that because blind marking allows more objective judgment of students’ work (by reducing rater bias), it seems to reason that marks might be awarded on a wider range of the marking scale. However, current literature on blind marking and grade/mark dispersion has yet to reveal a study on whether blind marking is able to increase the spread of marks, and therefore, indicate that an assessment instrument is effective is discriminating a range of student achievement levels. This paper should add to the current research on higher quality of educational assessments.

This study investigates the indoor environmental quality (IEQ) responses from occupants living in very small residential units that are unique to Hong Kong. Through the changes in environmental parameters, including thermal, indoor air quality, visual and aural, the study demonstrates that the overall IEQ acceptance in these units is different from the one in general residential building environments. Results show that occupants of these units are more sensitive to warmth and operative temperature change as compared to occupants of general residential buildings. A small variation of thermal acceptance suggests that the small unit occupants have already developed certain degree of tolerance to hot conditions. The adaptation to the reality of a hot environment is also reflected in the overall IEQ acceptance. It is believed that very small space residents have developed tolerance and adaptation to an unchangeable reality, changing environmental conditions does not necessarily alter their acceptance of individual IEQ aspects and overall IEQ.

The context for the present study is the one-year initial teacher education course for postgraduates specialising in physical education at the secondary level. The research focus is on the conflicts which pre service teachers experience during the school practice element of a University- School Partnership Scheme based on the new government criteria and procedures introduced in the DFE Circular No. 9/92 for England and Wales. Fifty-three postgraduate students completed report forms about their teaching concerns at the end of each week of a six-week and an eleven-week block practice, and, of the 1510 concerns reported, 257 (17.02%) were classed as conflicts. A content analysis of the 'conflict' concerns revealed four general categories of conflict, and these were related to school staff and peers, the school and university working procedures, the demands from the school and the university, and beliefs and values about the teaching profession. The paper argues that such conflicts are viewed with much apprehension by pre-service teachers because of the additional responsibilities and powers placed on school subject mentors and the more limited time available in the university to prepare for the practical activities. Therefore, it is suggested that University-School Partnership Schemes should build in arrangements that give pre service teachers the opportunity to resolve deep-seated problems by being able to approach neutral staff from either the university or the school.

In this article, I present two virtually unknown sixteenth-century views of human freedom, that is, the views of Bartolomaeus de Usingen (1465–1532) and Jodocus Trutfetter (1460–1519) on the one hand and John Mair (1470–1550) on the other. Their views serve as a natural context and partial background to the more famous debate on human freedom between Martin Luther (1483–1556) and Erasmus of Rotterdam (1466–1536) from 1524–1526. Usingen and Trutfetter were Luther’s philosophy teachers in Erfurt. In a passage from Book III of John Mair’s commentary on Aristotle’s Nicomachean Ethics from 1530, he seems to defend a view of human freedom by which we can will evil for the sake of evil. Very few thinkers in the history of philosophy have defended such a view. The most famous medieval thinker to do so is William Ockham (1288–1347). To illustrate how radical this view is, I place him in the historical context of such thinkers as Plato, Augustine, Buridan, and Descartes.

This study aims to develop a HOTS-based 2013 curriculum assessment instrument in the form of questions. The research subjects were fifth-grade students of the elementary school in Palembang. This research activity is development research using the ADDIE development model and the Tessmer evaluation method. The development stages include analysis, design, development, implementation, and evaluation. The prototype evaluation was carried out in stages: self-evaluation, expert reviews, one-to-one evaluation, small group evaluation, and field test evaluation. The results showed that the HOTS-based 2013 curriculum assessment instrument developed was declared valid, with a percentage of 89.5%. The trial results in the one to one and small group stages showed that the assessment instrument (HOTS questions) had a very good level of practicality, namely 84.3% for the one to one stage, and 83.2% for the small group stage. The effectiveness of the HOTS-based 2013 curriculum assessment instrument is at a low level, with an average score of 50. This means that the HOTS questions developed are still not effective in helping students think at higher levels, in this case, the ability to analyze, evaluate and create. This is as a note for researchers to review by carrying out further research.

Organizational culture is an important human resource management issue that affects the success and sustainability of a company. In organizational settings, culture describes what is unique about an organization, as expressed by the shared beliefs and values established by the founders and communicated through different ways. This shapes employees´ perceptions and behaviour, as well as the principles that apply to members of an organization. Job satisfaction refers to an employee´s feelings about their job and is frequently studied in relation to organizational culture and other variables, such as job commitment, performance and organizational commitment. Organizational commitment refers to whether an employee wishes to continue working for an organization or leave it. Employees tend to be attracted to those organizations with a culture that values their work and focuses on organizational wellbeing. There is a positive relationship between organizational culture, job satisfaction and the organizational commitment of employees.

he behavior and level of competence of members of the organization in any situation of its activities. It is determined that the modeling of the behavior of employees of the organization depends on their interactions and oppositions, on the degree of merging into general organizational behavior. It is noted that in order to achieve the level of competitiveness in the world economy, domestic enterprises should transform professional environments into highly organized communities with progressive value systems, productive activities that can provide conditions for becoming a person who competently solves their own professional problems and civic behavior. It is substantiated that organizational behavior is the behavior of employees united in certain management processes, which have their own cycles, rhythms, pace, structure of relations, organizational framework and culture. These processes, on the one hand, are guided by the efforts of leaders of all ranks, depend on their management culture, and on the other - are implemented in the behavior of direct employees of the organization. Organizational behavior is formed at the intersection of two main organizational forces: subordinate (subordination of employees «from top to bottom») and coordination (coordination of the interests of units). The optimal ratio of subordination and coordination forces in time and space and determine the organizational management system, organizational culture. Organizational behavior of employees is psychologically manifested primarily in their attitude to the organization in which they work. The attitude of the top administration towards its employees is the initial reason for this or that behavior. It is determined that the level of corporate culture forms the image of the enterprise. Summarizing the existing definitions of corporate culture, its interpretation is proposed - it is mastered and used by members of the organization values that determine their behavior; social climate in the organization and the dominant system of values and behaviors in the enterprise. It has been proven that the head of an organization or institution, at any stage of its development, can manage organizational behavior by modifying or adjusting it through his culture in two ways: the leader inspires staff and implements his fundamental beliefs and values, and the leader pays attention. details of the daily life of the team, controls the process of implementing the rules approved by the company. It is noted that moral and ethical values are a component of corporate culture and are a legacy of national culture. Positive corporate ethics can be created in an effort to achieve a balance between positive and negative behaviors of persons working in the enterprise and indirectly involved in its activities.
