Objective - Even though it has high historical, cultural, and economic values, Sambas weaving has in fact begun to decline. This can be seen from the reduced number of weavers and the less absorption of products in the market. Increasing the variety of weaving motifs and product diversification are some strategies to overcome the problems. Increasing the variety of patterns and diversifying products require the ability to innovate from weaving craftsmen. Sharing knowledge is a driver of increased innovation ability. Weavers' self-efficacy is needed to encourage their innovative behavior. This research aims to analyze the effect of knowledge sharing and self-efficacy on weavers’ innovative behavior. Methodology/Technique –The research questions that must be answered in this research were 1). Does knowledge sharing affect the weavers' innovative behavior?; 2). Does self-efficacy affect the weavers' innovative behavior? The data were collected by distributing self-report questionnaires to 50 weaving crafters. Finding – The data were also supported by a secondary source taken from the literature study. Measurement variables were developed from the theory and results of previous studies. The data, then, were analyzed by using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. This research suggested that there is no significant influence of knowledge-sharing behavior on innovative behavior of weavers. There is a positive and significant influence of self-efficacy on innovative behavior of weavers. Type of Paper: Empirical. JEL Classification: M12, M19 Keywords: Innovative Behavior; Knowledge Sharing; Self-Efficacy; Sambas Weaving. Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Sulistiowati, Komari, N. (2020).

The development of the weaving industry in Indonesia is an important effort to preserve the nation's culture and improve the economic prosperity of the local community. If weaving is managed well, it will accommodate the workforce and eventually their welfare will increase. Sambas Regency is one of the regions in Indonesia which has traditional woven fabrics. The ability of human resources to always produce innovation is a key factor for a business to be able to survive in conditions of intense competition. To increase the variety of patterns and product diversification needed the ability to innovate from weaving craftsmen. Innovation capability of each individual is different, not all individuals have the talent to innovate. Innovation capability can develop because of knowledge. Knowledge sharing behavior has an important role for innovation. Sharing knowledge is a driver of increased innovation ability (Lin, 2007; Rahab, Sulistyandari, & Sudjono, 2011). Individual confidence that he can carry out their duties is very important to build the ability to innovate. Self-efficacy is believed to influence the choice of tasks, effort, perseverance, excitement, and achievement (Bandura, 2012). Previous research concluded that the effect of self-efficacy on innovation behavior was carried out by Hsiao, Tu, Chang, & Chen (2015). The problem in this research is whether knowledge sharing and self-efficacy affect the innovative behavior of weaving craftsmen? Keywords: innovation, self-efficacy, knowledge sharing

Objective - The number of publications written by Indonesian lecturers and researchers has increased both in terms of quantity and quality. However, it is still lower than some neighboring countries such as Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand. Hence, academics in Indonesia, especially in West Kalimantan, still need to improve their research and publication performance. This research aims to analyze the effect of the ACHIEVE model which stands for Ability, Clarity, Help, Incentive, Evaluation, Validity, and Environment, on research and publication performance. Methodology/Technique – The research questions that must be answered in this research was whether Ability, Clarity, Help, Incentive, Evaluation, Validity, and Environment significantly influenced the performance of lecturers' research and publications. The data were collected by distributing self-report questionnaires to 100 lecturers. Finding - The data were also supported by a secondary source taken from the literature study. Measurement variables were developed from the theory and results of previous studies. The data, then, were analyzed by using multiple linear regression with SPSS software. The novelty in this article is the use of the Achieve model to study research and publication performance in higher education institution. Novelty - This research suggested that Ability, Clarity, Help, Incentive, Evaluation, Validity and Environment had a significant effect on research performance. The research also found that the Ability had the highest effect on the research performance. Type of Paper: Empirical. Keywords: Performance, ACHIEVE, Ability, Clarity, Incentive, Performance.

We investigated individual-level knowledge sharing and innovative behavior of employees, organizational innovation climate, and interactions between the individual level of knowledge sharing and the climate of innovation within the organization as a whole. Employees of public corporations in the Taiwanese finance and insurance industries participated in this study. Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) indicated a positive association between knowledge sharing and innovative behavior and a positive association between organizational innovation climate and innovative behavior. According to the results of HLM organizational innovation climate did not act as a moderator on the impact of knowledge sharing on innovative behavior.

Abstract Background: The patients’ acceptance of a treatment plan and their subsequent cooperation play a crucial role in achieving the best results in orthodontic treatments. Evidences show some personality traits such as general self-efficacy (GSE) and some dental traits such as severity of malocclusion are correlated with motivation of orthodontic treatment. These factors may predict the patients’ compliance and acceptance in using removable orthodontic appliances. This cross sectional study was conducted to assess the correlation of GSE and the severity of malocclusion with patients’ acceptance in using removable orthodontic appliances. Methods: This study recruited 50 patients aged 10-12 years who required removable orthodontic appliances. The severity of malocclusion was determined using the index of orthodontic treatment need (IOTN) before the onset of treatment and GSE of participants were assessed using GSE scale self-report. The acceptance questionnaire was proposed to the patients on first (T1), third (T2), and sixth (T3) month after the delivery of the appliance. Results: The GSE score had a statistically significant correlation with the total score of the acceptance questionnaire, subscale score of satisfaction with the appliance during eating and oral hygiene practice, duration of usage of the appliance, and interest in using it (P<0.05). The IOTN had no significant correlation with the acceptance questionnaire. Conclusions: Our findings substantiate the role of the GSES, concurrently declining the role of the IOTN in prediction of 10-12-year-old children's acceptance and cooperation in treatment of malocclusion with removable appliances.

AimsIn this pilot mixed-methods study, we examined the participants experiences of engaging in virtual drawing tasks and the impact of an olfactory stimulus (calming fragrance blend) on outcomes of affect, stress, self-efficacy, anxiety, creative agency, and well-being (satisfaction with life).MethodsThis study used a parallel mixed-methods, simple block randomization design. The study participants included 24 healthy adults aged 18 to 54 years, including 18 women and six men. The participants completed two 1-h immersive virtual art making sessions and were randomly assigned to receive either a fragrance or a non-fragrance condition for the first session. Quantitative (standardized self-report measures) and qualitative (open-ended survey responses and virtual artwork) datasets were collected concurrently and integrated during data analysis.ResultsThe quantitative results indicated that the fragrance condition demonstrated a significant reduction in negative affect (e.g., feeling hostile, jittery, upset, distressed, etc.), namely, reduced feelings of negativity when compared to the non-fragrance condition. A trend toward improvement in self-efficacy was also seen in the fragrance condition. No significant changes were found for fragrance or non-fragrance conditions for positive affect, anxiety, and creative agency. The qualitative findings included five themes related to art making experiences in virtual reality in both conditions: fun and joy; novelty of virtual media, experimentation, and play; relaxation and calm; learning curve; and physical discomfort and disorientation. Four themes were identified for virtual art content and visual qualities: nature imagery, references to memories and personal symbols, fantasy and play within imagery, and depiction of everyday objects.ConclusionsOverall, the participants reported positive responses to the novel virtual art making experiences which were further heightened by the inclusion of the fragrance stimulus for negative affect. These preliminary findings need to be replicated with larger sample sizes to confirm the outcomes and the trends that were seen in this pilot study. Further research is recommended to examine the differences between experiences of virtual and traditional art media and to examine different olfactory stimuli promoting focus and concentration.
