Historically, zakah institution was only run by the state, which was indeed managed under the state or public logic. On the other hand, we are now in the era of ‘civic society’, where the ‘bureaucratic decline’ emphasized the incapability of the state to be an efficient actor of development (Bawole, Ibrahim, Hossain, & Mensah, 2017; Hirschmann, 1999). The role of non-state actors is increasingly important to be the better development engines. The fact as mentioned earlier has put these non-state actors of development, including zakah institutions, in a dilemma between two institutional logics: market or commercial logic and public or social logics (Schröer & Jäger, 2015). These institutions must face distinct problems which do not occur in a conventional single-logic organization. They regularly need to deal with the conflict between two logics, financial or social logics. This study aims to conceptualize a further argument that zakah institutions are hybrid institutions, and therefore, a list of lessons could be explored. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is being applied for obtaining facts and related cases to this study. Few recommendations to sustain the zakah institutional growth are found. Regarding its organizational legacy (Furusten & Junker, 2019), a good communication method to the society will result in the sustainable institutional “business” as a form of “promotion”. According to Battilana (2018), setting organizational goals, structuring organizational activities, selecting organizational members, and socializing organizational members might be able to keep the institution in the hybridity track. Further, instead of creating “entrepreneurship for social value creation”, the better concept is “social value for entrepreneurship” (Arogyaswamy, 2017).

Sociologists commonly adopt a bifurcated understanding of the neoliberal state, showing how neoliberalism’s advance coincides with the growing authority of specific actors and ideas inside the bureaucratic state as others’ authority declines. This article complicates this view by probing the dynamics of non-neoliberal action inside the state, demonstrating the ways even demoted state actors can strategically muster power resources to forward distinct policy agendas. Taking a long-term perspective on social policy developments since the early 2000s, this article reviews the case of Israel, where neoliberal policies' new hegemony and adverse outcomes triggered counter-actions inside the state, ultimately leading to policy change. Paying particular attention to the role of ideas, this article argues that by rearticulating their policy mission to align with market conventions, non-neoliberal actors were able to persuade neoliberal actors to support their policy proposals, succeeding to advance creative policy alternatives under hostile political conditions. Highlighting this strategic capacity and ideational resilience and acumen in adapting to neoliberal critique reveals how demoted state actors can manage to sustain entrenched organizational goals and institutional motivations even as they help ease the adaptation of their historical mission to the neoliberal zeitgeist.

Abstract When violence occurs, the state has an obligation to respond to and reduce the impacts of it; yet often the state originates, or at least contributes to, the violence. This may occur in a variety of ways, including through the use of force by police, pretrial incarceration at local jails, long periods of incarceration in prisons, or abuse and neglect of people who are incarcerated. This essay explores the role of the state in responding to violence and how it should contribute to reducing violence in communities, as well as in its own operations. Finally, it explores what the future of collaboration between state actors and the community looks like and offers examples of successful power-sharing and co-producing of safety between the state and the public.

Rape Crisis

This chapter examines the conflicts and constraints posed by varying antirape discourses and approaches to antirape activism in the 1970s. At this time, activists in the women’s liberation and black freedom movements confronted one another’s politics on rape, sometimes unable to find common ground. The competing beliefs and approaches that activists brought to their antirape work heightened the potential for discord between movements. This was particularly exacerbated by the increasing role of the state in antirape work. By the mid-1970s, state actors and agencies played a dominating role in antirape work, leaving many feminists deeply concerned about the direction of the movement. State co-optation of key feminist interventions, such as rape crisis centers, resulted in a movement that was largely reformist. Feminists saw their once radical vision of social revolution overshadowed by increasing state efforts for reform-based solutions to the problem of sexual violence.

This study examined the role of Non State Actors (NSAs) in strengthening the developmental capacity of the state, using a case study of Cross River State, Nigeria. Primary and secondary data on selected constituents of NSAs including Non Governmental Organizations (NGOs), Privately Owned Companies, Banks, Private Hospitals and Private Schools were analyzed using tables and charts. The results revealed that activities of NSAs significantly enhance the developmental capacity of Cross River State especially in the areas of provision of public services, knowledge and skill acquisition, infrastructural development and employment generation. Besides other recommendations, it was recommended that NSAs and the government should perform complementary roles in enhancing developmental capacity and that the establishment of more NSAs in the rural areas should be encouraged through the provision of special funding and other incentives for NSAs that have their offices in the rural areas.

ABSTRAKManusia selalu berperan aktif dan dominan dalam setiap kegiatan organisasi, karena manusia menjadi perencana, pelaku, dan penentu terwujudnya tujuan organisasi.Tujuan tidak mungkin terwujud tanpa peran aktif karyawan meskipun alat-alat yang dimiliki perusahaan begitu canggih. Karyawan adalah asset (kekayaan) utama setiap organisasi, yang selalu ikut berperan aktif dan paling menentukan tercapai tidaknya tujuan organisasi. Oleh karena itu, karyawan perlu mendapat pemeliharaan sebaik-baiknya dari pimpinan organisasi/perusahaan. Artikel dari artikel ini yaitu untuk menganalisis tujuan organisasi dalam pemeliharaan karyawan. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam artikel ini yaitu kualitatif dengan metode deskriptif analitik. Kesimpulan dari artikel ini yaitu pemeliharaan (maintenance) karyawan haruslah mendapat perhatian yang sungguh-sungguh dari manajer/pimpinan. Jika pemeliharaan karyawan kurang diperhatikan, semangat kerja, sikap, dan loyalitas karyawan akan menurun. Absensi dan turnover meningkat, disiplin akan menurun, sehingga fungsi pengadaan, pengembangan, kompensasi dan pengintegrasian yang telah dilakukan dengan baik dan biaya yang besar kurang berarti untuk menunjang tercapainya tujuan organisasi/perusahaan. Pemeliharaan karyawan bertujuan untuk mempertahankan atau meningkatkan kondisi fisik, mental, dan sikap karyawan agar mereka tetap loyal dan bekerja produktif untuk menunjang tercapainya tujuan organisasi/perusahaan. Untuk mewujudkan pemeliharaan karyawan yang baik, perusahaan atau organisasi harus melakukannya dengan metode; komunikasi yang baik, insentif yang adil dan layak, pemberian kesejahteraan, keselamatan dan kesehatan kerja, serta dilaksanakannya hubungan industrial Pancasila.ABSTRACTHumans always play an active and dominant role in every organizational activity, because humans become planners, actors, and determinants of the realization of organizational goals. Goals cannot be realized without the active role of employees even though the tools owned by the company are so sophisticated. Employees are the main asset (wealth) of every organization, who always play an active role and most determine whether or not the organizational goals are achieved. Therefore, employees need to get the best possible care from the leadership of the organization/company. The article of this article is to analyze organizational goals in employee maintenance. The approach used in this article is qualitative with the analytical descriptive method. The conclusion of this article is that employee maintenance must receive serious attention from the manager/leader. If employee maintenance is not paid attention to, employee morale, attitude and loyalty will decline. Attendance and turnover increase, discipline will decrease, so that the functions of procurement, development, compensation and integration that have been carried out properly and at large costs do not mean to support the achievement of organizational/company goals. Employee maintenance aims to maintain or improve the physical, mental, and attitude conditions of employees so that they remain loyal and work productively to support the achievement of organizational/company goals. To achieve good employee maintenance, a company or organization must do it by method; good communication, fair and proper incentives, provision of occupational welfare, safety and health, and implementation of Pancasila industrial relations.

This paper discusses the state-) citizen contestations in Zimbabwe and examines the role of theatre in legitimising and/or resisting state hegemonies in the context of the post 2000 Zimbabwean cultural struggle. Using the theory of hegemony, the paper argues that, after ) the repossession of land by the majority of the black population in 2000 and the constitutional referendum held in February 2000, whose “No” vote challenged the hegemonic discourses and patriotic history of the ruling ZANU PF party, what followed was a largely polarised society split between the pro-hegemonic civic society such as ZNLWA on one hand, and an equally vociferous anti-hegemonic civic society that supported the ruling cultural formations (Raftopoulos and Mlambo 2009; Ravengai 2008). The pro-hegemonic(agree) civic society sought to stabilise and legitimise state authority and its discourses on sovereignty, land reform and the removal of sanctions, while counter-state hegemonic actors such as ZimRights agitated for the respect of human rights, constitutionalism and democracy. Individual theatre practitioners took a cue from these opposing civic society bodies and critically dialogued among themselves, thereby creating some form of binaries characterised by those who also sought to stabilise and maintain the prevailing status quo on one hand, and those that resisted and questioned the legitimacy of the prevailing hegemonies on other hand. In this paper, the polarised state of the theatre is represented by two opposing agitational propaganda performances, Madzoka Zimbabwe and The Coup.
