This study seeks to explore, understand, and develop a comprehensive application of Ignatian principles into academic emergency and disaster management programs. The research focuses on relevant work discussing Ignatian principles, Ignatian pedagogy, and emergency management training and education. This exploratory and novelistic research approach utilizes document analysis as the strategy for inquiry on how Ignatian principles and pedagogy interact with emergency and disaster management. The document analysis conducted presented limitations due to constraints in the amount of literature available. The study is original; no direct research associating the fields involved is available. The research identified the use of Ignatian principles in several professional disciplines. There is a focus on the application of a modern version of the spiritual exercises, discernment, reflection, and contemplation as tools for improvement of critical thinking, academic excellence, ethics, social analysis, and justice as they apply to emergency and disaster management.

This paper examines the factors that influence the quality of training and education on project management. The authors present the results of two questionnaire-based surveys. The goal of the first survey was to find what factors influence the quality of project management education, according to the perspective of trainers, professors, and training providers. The respondents included Chinese and European academics and professionals, such as project managers, software developers, financial managers and professors. The respondents were not only involved in project management training but also served as team members or team managers, thus ensuring a balanced overview of theoretical and practical issues. The goal of the second survey was to explore the definition “quality” to trainees and students. Although there were small differences of perspective, both trainers and trainees have the same approach toward a qualitative project management education.

Introduction:In the South African environment, the possibility of lack in the disaster response education and training fraternity was attempted to be mitigated with legislation. The National Disaster Management Framework (2005:162-169) states that national, provincial, and municipal organs of state need to plan, organize, and implement training programs relevant to their respective areas of responsibility. The South African Disaster Management Act (South Africa, 2002:19) encourages a broad-based culture of risk avoidance and the promotion of disaster management education and training throughout South Africa.Aim:As an organ of the state and a role-player in disaster management the Free State Emergency Medical Services (FS EMS) is responsible for making strategic decisions. Managers and supervisors are obliged to be trained and educated in disaster management. The study ascertained whether managers and supervisors are being trained and educated in disaster management as required by legislation.Methods:The project made use of quantitative data whereby fifty EMS managers and supervisors in the Free State Provincial Government (FSPG) were assessed by using a questionnaire.Results:The study found that 66% of the respondents did not receive training to equip them to fulfill their disaster management functions. The remaining 34% indicated that they did receive aspects of disaster management training.Discussion:Based on the quantitative scores for the different indicators, the research found that there are shortcomings in disaster management qualifications and training among the EMS supervisors and managers in the FSPG EMS. However, the findings make it clear that there are several positive aspects in the already established practice of disaster management education and training in the FS EMS. The results indicated that there is an opportunity for revision and improvement that will contribute and empower the FS EMS managers and supervisors to meet legislative requirements towards disaster management training and education.

The main objective of this study is to explore the challenges of engaging citizens in urban disaster management (UDM) in the urban fire, waterlogging, and pandemic like COVID 19. A qualitative research approach, mainly in-depth interview method was applied to gain insights from different government officials of civil defense, police force, and ward councilors of Dhaka and Chattogram City Corporations, who were experienced in working at the field level UDM. The study tried to investigate the challenges faced by the officials during disaster rescue operations with special reference to the role of urban citizens. The findings of the study capture, in detail, the challenges faced by different personnel involved in UDM operations. While citizen engagement is expected to be a positive notion, in most cases, citizens themselves become the main obstacle of disaster management, due to their ignorance, negligence, and lack of patience in the given disastrous and pandemic situation, and thus, hinders UDM operations and crisis management. The lessons learned from contemporary urban disasters like fire and the COVID 19 pandemic are recorded elaborately. Based on that, different recommendations are made to ensure the active engagement of citizens to facilitate UDM activities in an orderly manner.

The purpose of the study was to evaluate the Jewellery subject in Senior High Schools in Ghana to ascertain the career opportunity in jewellery for Ghanaian youth. The study adopted the Mixed Methods Research approach with descriptive and document analysis as the research method used. The findings of the study show that jewellery students are not able to practise as jewellers after their studies, because the content of the jewellery subjects and its associated exercises does not correspond to the skills one is required to become a jeweller. Coupled with the fact that the teachers who teach the jewellery are mostly not professional jewellers, which therefore limit the kind of practical jewellery that they can teach the students. Although the motivating factor for introducing jewellery is good, however, the rhetorics of the government that she wants students to acquire skills in jewellery making does not support the reality on the ground.

The Majallah al-Aḥkām al-‘Adliyyah belongs to the Ottoman Empire has been introduced in Johor, Malaysia during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1876-1908). The book was brought to the Johor Government in 1893 during the reign of Johor’s Sultan Abu Bakar (1862-1895) in its Arabic language and it was translated later into Malay language and Jawi script during the reign of Sultan Ibrahim (1895-1959) in 1913. The translation was done by the Mufti of Johor and it is known as the Majalah Ahkam Johor. The book is a legal reference comprises the civil matters of muamalat, for example sale and purchase, rent and hibah, besides of containing court proceedings too. There are previous studies which affirmed that the Majalah Ahkam Johor was rarely used as a reference in court due to the expansion of colonial British in Malaya. The objective of this paper is to discuss and analyse the challenges of the use of the book in Johor and the obstacles in it’s implementation. The methodology of this study is based on qualitative design with historical research approach and document analysis from primary and contemporary data. The findings of this study shows that the use of the Majalah Ahkam Johor at the court level faced obstacles due to the British administration policy of interfering with the state legal and judicial system. Furthermore, the introduction of British law led to the abandonment of the use of Majalah Ahkam Johor as a reference on Islamic matters in Johor.

This study aims to analyze the collaboration process between stakeholders in landslide disaster management in Gajahmungkur District, Semarang City. Collaboration between stakeholders aims to build commitment, understanding, and responsibility in increasing the effectiveness of disaster management which is analyzed through the concept of collaborative governance by Ansell & Gash (2007). Based on a descriptive qualitative research approach, this research was conducted in the city of Semarang, precisely in the district of Gajahmungkur Kecamatan. Data collection was carried out by interview and documentation techniques. Data analysis is based on four indicators of collaborative governance including: initial conditions, institutional design, facilitative leadership, to the collaborative process. The results of this study indicate that there are three stakeholders involved in the collaboration, namely local government, community groups, and also the private sector, however, in the process the coordination carried out by the three stakeholders is not effective enough, thus hindering disaster management activities. As a result of this lack of coordination, the landslide disaster in Semarang City has not been handled properly. Based on the results of the study, it can be concluded that the collaborative process carried out in landslide disaster management in Semarang City has not run optimally due to lack of coordination and lack of participation from other stakeholders outside the government sector, causing landslides to still occur frequently.

Purpose This study aims to investigate the influence of restaurant manager’s emotional intelligence (EI) and manager support on service employees’ attitudes and performance by applying affective event theory. Design/methodology/approach The multi-level research approach incorporates three different levels of analysis: employees’ job satisfaction and service performance; manager’s EI and support; and) restaurant unit level service under pressure. Data were collected from wait staff employed in full-service restaurants in the southeastern region of the USA. This research uses the hierarchical linear model to process the survey data. Findings The findings indicate that manager EI and support have a significant impact on employees’ job satisfaction, and further leads to high levels of service performance. The moderating effect of service under pressure between leader’s EI and employees’ job satisfaction is not statistically significant. Practical implications Results suggest practical management implications to restaurant managers and frontline service employees. This study’s research findings imply management training and development programs should help managers regulate their own and better understand service employees’ emotions. Findings further highlight the important role manager support has upon employee’s job satisfaction and frontline service performance. Originality/value The present study offers a comprehensive perspective to better understand the variation of employees’ job satisfaction that arises from three different sources: between individuals, between teams and between restaurants. The findings also provide new insight into EI scale development.
