The aim of this study is to examine the predictive level of organizational power resources in higher education institutions in academicians’ perceptions of academic ostracism. In the study designed with a correlational design, data was obtained from 725 academicians using the “Workplace Ostracism Scale” (Ferris, Brown, Berry, & Lian, 2008) and the “Organizational Power Scale” (Altınkurt & Yılmaz, 2013). The obtained data were analysed by correlation and regression analysis. In the study, it was found that the academicians were exposed to legal force the most, and to the coercive force the least; It was found that they experienced a low level of academic ostracism. Again, multiple regression results showed that organizational power sources significantly predicted the academicians’ perceptions of ostracism. Among the power sources, “coercive power” explains 16% of the variance of academic ostracism perceptions. Based on the findings, it can be said that especially coercive power is the main source of academic ostracism.

The origin of Presidential Regulation No. 08/2012 concerning the Indonesian National Qualification Framework (KKNI) is oriented as a framework for qualifying the competency level of graduates who can juxtapose, equalize, and integrate education, training fields and work experiences. Each educational institution attempts to establish higher education that is able to produce graduates who have attitudes, knowledge, and skills that meet the expectations of the society and the stakeholders by implementing the KKNI-based curriculum. The teachers who become the primary sample in this study are the spearhead of the implementers in the process of implementing the curriculum in higher education. This research employs a quantitative approach with correlational design. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire distributed to 109 IAIN Kediri teachers spread across all departments. Furthermore, the data were analyzed by using descriptive statistics, Pearson product-moment correlation, ANOVA, and multiple regression. Based on the analysis tool, it is known that the variables of attitude, subjective norms, and behavioral control simultaneously influence teachers 'intentions in the implementation of the IQF-based curriculum. However, it is found that only partially subjective norms and behavioral control variables bring a significant effect on teachers' intentions in implementing the KKNI-based curriculum at IAIN Kediri

Along with the increasing use of cables in power grid and the increasing ration of distributed power sources’ synchronization, such as small hydropower’s synchronization, increasing the reactive power transmission on the line, make it difficult to achieve the balance of reactive hierarchical partition. Take a certain region’s power grid for actual examples, after the installation of magnetic control reactor (MCR), using immune genetic algorithm (IGA) to coordinate the capacity of magnetic control reactor and the existing reactive power resources, the results show that the magnetic control reactor does much good to absorb the system’s excessive reactive power and limit the voltage’s increasing.

The aim of this article is to examine the explanatory forces of power resources and institutional factors on whistle blowing activity, its effectiveness and reactions. The authors analyse survey material of 6000 Norwegian employees across sectors and industries, and find that individual power resources have little impact, but the organizational power resources of positions, and institutional factors matter. Departing from a Norwegian labour market model, this is a result that encourages continued focus on codetermination, democracy and openness.

This study examined the relationship between employee rewards on work engagement of non-academic staff in a public University in Uganda. Specifically, the study analyzed relationship between intrinsic rewards and extrinsic rewards with work engagement of the support staff. Using a quantitative approach, the study adopted the correlational research design. Data were collected using a questionnaire survey. Data analysis involved descriptive and inferential statistics. The descriptive statistics were means while the inferential statistics included correlation and regression analysis. Descriptive results revealed that while the respondents rated intrinsic rewards, vigour and dedication high, absorption and extrinsic rewards were moderate. Inferential analyses revealed that both intrinsic and extrinsic rewards had a positive and significant relationship with work engagement. It was concluded that both intrinsic and intrinsic rewards are essential for work engagement of employees. Therefore, it was recommended that management of universities such as human resource directorates should design jobs that offer intrinsic rewards to employees and provide extrinsic rewards that are attractive to employees.

Problem in this study is whether there is a relationship approach to the implementation of an integrated thematic scientific learning on student interest fourth grade 3 Dermolo Country? Goals to be achieved in this study was to find a scientific approach to the implementation of an integrated thematic learning to student interest fourth grade 3 Dermolo country. Population in this study was a public school fourth graders 3 Dermolo the number of 40 students. Samples taken were all student of class IV using sampling techniques proposive. Data were obtained through the techniques of documentation, observation, and questionnaire. Design used was a correlational design. Data analysis after treatment using a scientific approach show are as follow rcount of 0,7494 to 0,3120 rtable is that the significance level 5% so Ho rejected, then there is a significant relationship between a scientific approach to the integrated thematic learning and student interest. Can be concluded there is a relationship between the scientific approach to the integrated thematic learning and student interest. Suggestion that reserchers convey, teachers should foster student interest by using an alternative approach to learning is a scientific approach that can foster students interest in learning to be better. This can be done by getting used to package and deliver exciting learning.

Purpose Building on encapsulated interest account and motivated cognition account, this study aims to investigate how channel members extend trust in a channel leader when the channel leader applies various non-coercive power sources (e.g. referent, expert, legitimate and reward power). Besides, the study explored the changes in channel members’ trust in a channel leader when each non-coercive power source is coupled with coercive power sources. Design/methodology/approach Using survey items from previously validated scales, the study collected responses from 237 channel members of 3 paint distribution channels in India. Data were analysed using structural equation modelling and multi-group moderation analysis techniques. Findings Findings indicated that expert and reward power sources enhance trust in channel leaders while affective commitment mediates the effects of all the non-coercive power sources on trust. Further, coercive power weakens the effects of expert power on trust. Research limitations/implications The study is based on a cross-sectional survey and confines to the paint industry in India. Replicating this study in other countries and industries will better generalise the study’s findings. Practical implications The study recommends that channel managers use power sources to build trust in channel leaders. Consequently, they will be able to emphasise those specific power sources while developing channel management strategies. Originality/value The study contributes to a greater understanding of the power-trust relationship.

Objective: Altmetrics are claimed to measure the scientific, societal, educational, technological and economic impacts of science. They have some of these dimensions in common with university ranking and evaluating systems. Their results are, therefore, expected to be partially convergent with the systems’. Given the importance of the scientific and non-scientific impacts of science, this study investigated the correlations of universities’ altmetrics with their total and dimensional scores in Nature Index, Leiden, Times Higher Education (THE) and Quacquarelli Symonds (QS). Methodology: Following a correlational design, it explored an available sample of the universities commonly ranked in the systems in 2017. The data were collected from online documents using checklists and analysed by the Spearman correlation. As Altmetric Attention Score (ASS) is efficient in that it integrates several indicators into a single one, it was used as the proxy of the universities’ social performance. Findings: The universities showed significant positive correlations between their ASSs and their performance scores on the total and dimensional levels, except for industry income in THE, with an insignificant correlation, and proportion of collaborative publication less than 100 km. in Leiden, with an inverse correlation. The correlations ranged from weak to marginally strong. Conclusion: The positive relationships between the universities’ performance and ASSs signified that there existed some similarities in what they measured. However, they were of weak-to-marginally strong powers, implying that the metrics differed in what they measured. The findings contribute to the existing knowledge by providing some evidence of convergence between university-level altmetrics and university performances in various dimensions.
