Conceptualising And Operationalising Work Versus Career Salience

Career salience was defined and operationalised by Greenhaus in 1971. His scale and conceptualisation of this construct have attracted critical review. Numerous authors have tested various alternative conceptualisations of career salience. However, these approaches have tended to neglect some of the valuable ideas in Greenhaus’ original construct. The present authors suggest that career salience constructs and measures have also been contaminated with an associated but unrecognised construct, namely, work salience. In this study, new work and career salience scales were developed and validated on a sample of 1078 office workers. The data supported the independent definition and measurement of work salience. Opsomming Loopbaanmarkantheid is in 1971 deur Greenhaus gedefinieer en geoperationaliseer. Sy skaal en konseptualisering van hierdie konstruk het kritiese kommentaar ontlok. Menige skrywers het verskeie alternatiewe konseptualiserings van loopbaanmarkantheid getoets. Hierdie benaderings is egter geneig om sommige van die waardevolle idees van Greenhaus se oorspronklike konstruk te verwaarloos. Die teenswoordige outeurs suggereer dat loopbaanmarkantheidkonstrukte en -maatstawe deur ‘n geassosieerde en minder, bekende konstruk, naamlik werkmarkantheid gekontamineer word. In hierdie studie is nuwe werk- en loopbaanmarkantheidskale ontwikkel en gevalideer op ‘n steekproef van 1078 kantoorwerkers. Die data ondersteun die onafhanklike definisie en meting van werkmarkantheid.

Scientific Networks

Pesantren as subcultures are indeed interesting to be studied. Several studies have been carried out such as Zamakhsary Dhofier on the network of pesantren in Java and Martin van Bruinessen on the pesantren and tarekat. Continuing it, Ading Kusdiana through her dissertation at Padjadjaran University conducted a research on the network of Pesantren in the Priangan region (West Java), focusing on the existence and continuity of Pesantren through five inter-Islamic networks: scientific networks, marriage, genealogical, congregational religious views, and the similarity of the vision of opposition to the invaders. Kusdiana's research confirmed Zamakhshari Dhofier's theory and did not refute it at all. So that this feels like a new work with a sense of "old work". The study of this theme will be even more interesting if Kusdiana uses the new genealogical theory as Yudi Latif did. This will also portray changes and continuity in the network of Pesantren. However, Kusdiana’s work deserves to be appreciated because it presents a lot of new data-information regarding the traces and spreads of Pesantren in Priangan. Through thiswork, we can get a relatively completed picture of the world of Pesantren in Priangan in the 1800-1945 period.Keywords: Network of Pesantren, Genealogy Theory, Pesantren in Priangan Pesantren sebagai subkultur memang menarik dikaji. Beberapa kajian telah dilakukan seperti Zamakhsary Dhofier tentang jaringan pesantren di Jawa dan Martin van Bruinessen tentang pesantren dan tarekat. Melanjutkan keduanya, Ading Kusdiana melalui disertasinya di Universitas Padjadjaran melakukan penelitian jaringan pesantren di wilayah Priangan (Jawa Barat), dengan titik-fokus pada proses eksistensi dan kesinambungan pesantren melalui lima bentuk jaringan antarpesantren: jaringan keilmuan, perkawinan, genealogis, kesamaan pandangan keagamaan tarekat, serta kesamaan visi penentangan terhadap penjajah. Namun penelitian Kusdiana ini meneguhkan teori Zamakhsyari Dhofier dan sama sekali tidak melakukan penyanggahan terhadapnya. Sehingga ini terasa sebagai karya baru dengan rasa “karya lama”. Kajian terhadap tema ini akan semakin menarik jika Kusdiana menggunakan teori genealogis baru seperti yang dilakukan Yudi Latif. Ini sekaligus akan memotret perubahan dan kontinuitas dalam jaringan pesantren yang dikajinya. Namun demikian, karya Kusdiana ini layak diapresiasi karena menyajikan banyak data-informasi baru terkait jejak dan sebaran-pertumbuhan pesantren di Priangan. Melalui karya Kusdiana ini, kita bisa mendapatkan gambaran relatif utuh terkait dunia pesantren di Priangan pada periode 1800-1945.Kata Kunci: Jaringan Pesantren, Teori Genealogi, Pesantren di Priangan
