Referral Hospitals

A challenge for hospitals in facing the high number of patient visits is to provide quality services. One of the vital services in dealing with patients, especially those who will have cancer surgery considering the high rate of mortality cancer, is an improvement in waiting time (WT). Waiting time for elective surgery is one indicator of service quality with a standard of ≤2 days. This research aimed to determine the average WT for surgery, influencing factors, and optimal queuing models. The method used was quantitative and qualitative methods applied to 207 samples with consecutive sampling at West Java Provincial Al-Ihsan Regional General Hospital Bandung from October to December 2016. The analysis used partial least squares (PLS). The results of the study showed that the average WT for surgery was 32 days. Factors that influence WT were inpatient rooms, number of medical personnel, condition of patients, and health insurance. The optimal queue model to reduce surgical waiting time are adding inpatient beds, oncologist doctor, and creating an online system for registration and confirmation of inpatient rooms and operating. FAKTOR YANG MEMENGARUHI WAKTU TUNGGU OPERASI PASIEN KANKER DI RUMAH SAKIT RUJUKAN JAWA BARATTantangan bagi rumah sakit dalam menghadapi jumlah kunjungan pasien yang tinggi adalah mampu memberikan pelayanan berkualitas. Salah satu pelayanan signifikan bagi pasien kanker yang akan menjalani operasi adalah perbaikan waktu tunggu karena mortalitas pasien kanker yang tinggi. Waktu tunggu operasi elektif merupakan salah satu indikator mutu pelayanan dengan standar ≤2 hari. Penelitian bertujuan mengetahui waktu tunggu operasi rerata, faktor yang memengaruhi, dan model antrean yang optimal. Metode yang digunakan adalah kuantitatif dan kualitatif yang diterapkan pada 207 sampel secara consecutive sampling di RSUD Al-Ihsan Provinsi Jawa Barat Bandung dari Oktober hingga Desember 2016. Analisis menggunakan partial least squares (PLS). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa waktu tunggu operasi rerata adalah 32 hari. Faktor yang berpengaruh terhadap waktu tunggu operasi adalah ruang rawat inap, jumlah tenaga medis, kondisi pasien, dan jaminan kesehatan. Model antrean yang optimal untuk menurunkan waktu tunggu operasi adalah penambahan tempat tidur rawat inap, penambahan dokter spesialis bedah onkologi, serta pembuatan sistem daring untuk pendaftaran dan konfirmasi kesiapan ruang rawat inap dan ruang operasi.

Customer Perceptions

Time theory studies abstractly argue that, depending on the customer experience, time spent waiting may be positive, negative, or even neutral, and it can affect the perceived passing of time and enjoyment of the overall customer experience. However, a company can manipulate customer perceptions of waiting time. Positive perceptions of waiting time can then be used for marketing purposes. Customer perceptions of waiting time can be reduced by making the queuing process enjoyable, by improving the waiting environment, and by making promotional activities enjoyable. To validate the aforementioned factors and develop the enjoyable queuing model, this study surveyed 1571 customers queuing at service companies in Taiwan, including 409 customers of upscale restaurants, 430 customers of restaurants, 439 customers of food stands, and 293 customers queuing at consumer electronics shops to purchase newly released iPhones. The applicability of the enjoyable queuing model was evaluated by partial least squares structural equation modeling, and group differences were evaluated by partial least squares multi-group analysis. The analytical results for each case and managerial implications are presented.

With an increasing number of privately own vehicles in Malaysia, the popularity of public transports is increasingly challenged by ride-hailing services such as Grab, MyCar, JomRides and MULA. To develop effective strategies aimed at retaining users, it is necessary to understand the factors that affect users’ satisfaction and loyalty in public transport. In this study, we propose that satisfaction and loyalty in public transport are associated with five key factors: accessibility, reliability, perceived value, comfort, and safety and security. Data collected from a survey of 179 public transport users in Kuching city was used to test the research model. Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) was used to analyse the data. The main findings were that safety and security, and reliability significantly affected the users’ satisfaction and loyalty in public transport, while no statistically significant relationship was found among accessibility, satisfaction and loyalty. These findings not only contribute to the theory development of transportation research but also help practitioners to develop novel strategies aimed at increasing public transport usage.

Cracked Soil

Kuningan Regency is one of the districts in West Java Province with a high rate of landslide events, especially in the southern part where its hilly landscape is dominated with a steep slope. Due to its vulnerability because of cracked soil after the landslide events, landslide locations in Kuningan Regency might only be safe if surveyed using the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Therefore, in this study, DJI Phantom 4 Pro was flown to capture images of landslide locations with a 10 cm spatial resolution. Image processing was conducted to generate Orthophoto and Digital Surface Model (DSM) to give information about the direction and area of landslides. Two sub-districts where landslides occurred, namely Darma and Selajambe, were chosen for landslide mapping using UAV. Results show that in Darma Sub-district, the landslide area is approximately 7,026 m2, while in Selajambe Sub-district is around 8,699 m2. The study results are very useful to analyze the factors affecting landslide events such as slope.

The Relationship

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to examine the relationship between skills and employability of business graduates. The study also examines the moderating effect of ‘social mobility factors’ in the ‘skills–employability’ relationship.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative positivist approach was undertaken to test the hypotheses. Business graduates from two universities in a developing country responded to a questionnaire about their perceptions of different sets of employability factors. Partial least squares (PLS)-based structural equation modelling (SEM) was used to examine the relationships between skills and employability of business graduates.FindingsThe findings show that both soft skills and technical skills are positively related to employability, which is consistent with prior studies. The findings also indicate that social mobility factors play a significant role in employability.Research limitations/implicationsThe study is based on data from two public universities, and its findings need to be interpreted with care as universities differ in their size, area of concentration and ownership structure.Practical implicationsThe findings advance the evidence of graduate employability of business students. Based on these results, university authorities, policymakers, teachers and business graduates will benefit from the findings related to students preparedness for the competitive global job market.Originality/valueThe study's findings contribute to business graduates' skill set development in the developing countries that share a similar education system, culture and values.

AbstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the factors that influence the decision on the place of delivery at the Maternal and Child Polyclinic (KIA), Clinic of the Keluarga Pisangan Baru (KPB). The data research technique uses quantitative methods which are carried out by giving questionnaires in the form of scale questions and direct interviews with respondents. In this study, the target population was all pregnant women at the KIA Polyclinic from October to November 2020. Purposive sampling is apllied in this research. The number of samples is 136 respondents. Then, the data were processed using the Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation  Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique with the help of SmartPLS software. The results showed that patient behavior, distance, medical personnel services, service facilities, promotions and family roles do not have a positive effect on the decision to choose the place of delivery. Service costs do not have a negative effect on the decision to choose the place of delivery. The role of family, service facilities, and service costs have a positive effect on patient behavior. Meanwhile, distance, medical personnel service, and promotion did not have a positive effect on patient behavior.  AbstrakTujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengevaluasi faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi keputusan tempat persalinan di Poliklinik Ibu dan Anak (KIA), Klinik Keluarga Pisangan Baru (KPB).
