The study investigated Interest and Self Motivation as Correlates of Capacity Building and Career Commitment of Female Librarians in Nigeria. This was with a view to providing valuable data for stakeholders to guide in organizing career development progammes. The survey method of research was adopted for the study and the instrument for collecting data were the questionnaire, interview and focus group discussion. Findings of the study revealed that majority of female librarians in Nigeria never were interested in the profession before going in for it, but are now that they are in the field and are committed to their career to a great extent. However, their capacity building opportunities and efforts are very low. Therefore, the study recommends that the Nigerian Library Association (NLA) and other Organizers of Conferences and workshops for Librarians should make the dues affordable; arrange more training outlets and make workshops more of practical training sessions. Also, stakeholders of institutions with libraries should endeavor to make fund available for the provision of ICT infrastructure and platform, acquisition of current professional literatures on librarianship etc.

Purpose This paper aims to propose a framework for information and communication technology (ICT)-based collaborative zakat management to improve zakat management in Indonesia, especially in collection, distribution and empowerment. Design/methodology/approach This paper used a constructive method that used the 3 C (communication, coordination and cooperation) model to develop a framework. This included initial assessment of the current usage of ICT in zakat management and the expectation of collaborative zakat management through in-depth interviews and questionnaires. A focus group discussion was conducted to validate the model. Findings ICT is currently used for the administration of zakat management, providing zakat online services and reporting zakat to the public; ICT is not used for collaboration. The proposed collaboration using the 3 C model consists of communication, coordination and cooperation. The focus group discussion validates the proposed ICT-based collaboration framework as an effective strategy for increasing zakat management. Practical implications The results highlight strengthening institutional capacity and decreasing overlaps in zakat collection, distribution and empowerment. Zakat institutions need to restructure and reconstruct business processes based on ICT collaboration, and government must provide regulations and ICT infrastructure. Social implications The results increase equity and capacity in zakat distribution and empowerment, therefore it can improve poverty alleviation. Originality/value The potential and usage of ICT for collaboration among zakat management organisations have not been thoroughly explored. This paper proposes a conceptual framework for collaboration among zakat institutions using ICT to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of zakat management.

Thus, Tawi-Tawi consists of different cultures in contrast with the more complex migrant groups. The triangulation technique method of qualitative research is utilized in this study. The descriptive-narrative survey method with key informant’s personal interview and the organized focus group discussion were used as data gathering tools to look into the influences of the migrants to the traditional socio-political practices of the BangsaSama in Tawi-Tawi. The different between the BangsaSama and the migrants lie in the degree of their complexity and rapidity of influences taking place within the group.

Undeniably, this study looked into the changes of the traditional socio-political practices of the BangsaSama as influenced by the migrants within the Tawi-Tawian context.

Abstrak  KOPTRAS adalah sebuah organisasi non-profit yang didirikan untuk  mewadahi para pembina dan pelatih ekstrakurikuler di Surabaya. KOPTRAS lahir dilandasi rasa senasib  yang dimiliki pembina dan pelatih ekstrakurikuler. Masing-masing sekolah memilki kebijakannya dalam memberikan hak dan kewajiban terhadap para pelatih/pembina ekstrakurikuler. Dalam praktiknya, hak-hak sebagai pekerja para pembina/pelatih ekstrakurikuler ini seringkali dilanggar. Hasil identifikasi dan inventarisasi masalah menunjukkan bahwa, terdapat dua permasalahan krusial yang dihadapi oleh KOPTRAS, yakni ketidakjelasan status pembina dan pelatih akibat proses rekruitmen  dan juga masalah pembayaran honorarium, karena tidak ada standar pembayaran ekstrakurikuler. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengabdian masyarakat ini adalah melalui focus group discussion, capacity building dan pendampingan hukum melalui pendampingan proses pendaftaran KOPTRAS sebagai organisasi yang berbadan hukum. Dalam pelaksanaannya, rekomendasi bentuk badan hukum yang sesuai dengan kebutuhan KOPTRAS adalah perkumpulan. Pendaftaran KOPTRAS sebagai organisasi yang berbadan hukum dapat memperkuat posisi dan status hukum KOPTRAS dalam melakukan proses advokasi hak-hak pembina/pelatih ekstrakurikuler sebagai pekerja. Sehingga nantinya dapat meraih penghidupan yang layak, tidak mendapatkan diskriminasi dan mendapatkan perlindungan hukum yang memadai.
