Dealing with High Talent Turnover through Talent Engagement Strategies: A Study of the Hotel Sector in Thailand

The hotel sector faces high team member turnover, incredibly talented workers who can contribute to outstanding performance and levelling world-class standards. Hotels need strategies to engage their talent effectively to maintain competitiveness. This paper used qualitative research, of which (38) semi-structured interviews were accompanied by key informants at the management level and supplemented by documentation and observation. The research revealed that effective talent engagement is linked directly to the well-known theory of effective talent management. Thus, the national culture influences talent engagement strategies. Within Thai culture, managers act as ‘parents’ and build strong interpersonal relationships.

Teaching Short - Circuit Calculation with Off - Nominal Turns Ratio Transformers

Teaching short-circuit analysis is conducted primarily through case studies; however, there are not many validated short-circuit studies available on the subject, especially when considering off-nominal turns ratio transformers. In order to improve the teaching of short-circuit analysis, a three phase short-circuit study in an industrial system according to ANSI/IEEE standards by means of Zmatrix method is presented; two case studies are considered: the industrial system with nominal and offnominal turns ratio transformers, in both cases the step by step solution is given in an explicit manner and the analytical results are validated through software simulation.

Design and Development of Affective 4-Dimensional Mobile Mathematics for Low Vision Alpha Generation

In this digital era, low vision children should learn Mathematics by using similar learning content provided for mainstream students. Teachers need to express their feeling, thought, emotions, and actions to ensure the low vision learners can grasp the mathematics content. However, it is too tough for low vision children to adapt to the common learning content which is in contrast with their needs. Consequently, this study aims to develop Affective 4- Dimensional Mobile Mathematics for Low Vision Alpha Generation. This study adapted the 3-Phases Development Model. Accordingly, the findings of this study are the design and development of the abovementioned application.

Mathematics Instruction to Promote Mathematics Higher-Order Thinking Skills of Students in Indonesia: Moving Forward

HOTS instruction in mathematics is rarely explicitly programmed by the schoolteacher. As a result, students' HOTS is at the lowest level, especially in national or international assessments. The purpose of this research is to determine why mathematics education in Indonesia does not have a significant effect on student HOTS by conducting a review of several Indonesian publications on the subject. This research is a qualitative method of literature review related to the HOTS of Indonesian mathematics students, and an organized interview triangulated to support the data and information from the literature review. The interview consisted of two critical questions administered using Google Form: implementing active learning and mathematics textbooks on mathematics classroom activities. The results concluded that there were two primary sources of error in mathematics learning to increase HOTS in Indonesia: active learning and current mathematics textbooks. Besides, in teaching and learning practices, the active learning model is rarely used when using official texts that do not promote HOTS for mathematics students in Indonesia.

Integration of Pedagogical and Production Factors in the Process of the Formation of Industry 4.0

The rapid development of Industry 4.0 as a result of the Fourth Industrial Revolution brings back the relationship of pedagogy and production to mutual integration that has been their characteristic since ancient times. The study revealed high digital readiness of students (4.24 according to the student assessment and 2.82 according to the teacher assessment on a 5- point scale) and very low readiness of production to accept integrated learning (1.68 and 2.67, respectively), as well as the poor digitalization of the educational process according to the students and teachers, who are more closely familiar with the reality of production (2.03 and 2.45, respectively).

Responsibility and Mindset of Tourist and Community-Based Tourism Enterprise to Conserve the Environment and Energy

The aim of the research is to assess the mindset, activities and the participation of communitybased tourism enterprises in the tourists’ awareness and behavior. Tourism has the significant impact in order to develop the guideline for organizing the activities and managing the community-based tourism in reflecting the responsible environment and energy linking character and behavior of tourists. We found a strong growth mindset of entrepreneur’s community as the key factor that affected on driving the participation of tourism management. Mindset was a significant mechanism to motivate and encourage sustainable tourism in the future. Finally, it represents the responsible environment and energy systematically.

Green Operation Strategy for SMEs: Agri-food Business Thailand Case Study

Green supply chain management is increasingly recognized in public, and many industry sectors progressively acknowledge its essential. The study's goals were to find an effective green operation strategy model that results in a sustainable competitive advantage for the SMEs agri-foods business. A total of 250 SMEs agri-food business owners were responded to a survey questionnaire. In this study, the partial least squares (PLS-SEM) technique was used for hypothesis testing. Research results indicate that green operation strategy influences the companies to gain better efficiency, environmental, and economic performance.

Competency Development in the Object-oriented Programming Style Education

The article presents a spiral approach for the competency development in the object-oriented programming style education as a part of the occupation “Application programmer” of the national program “Education for IT career” (NPEITC) in the Bulgarian Ministry of Education and Science. The education is realized by a system of tasks comprising topically linked modules of the study plan. Such system is demonstrated and the obtained results from its application, followed by the analyses confirm the success of the competency approach, are presented.

The Rank of Silaturrahmi-Assimilated Collaboration Parameter Based on Core Drive Using Octalysis Gamification Framework and Fuzzy AHP

This study aims to build SME collaboration parameters from the assimilation of the "silaturrahmi" culture that considers user motivation in collaborating. Parameter validation involves linear regression statistical methods, followed by determining the ranking of collaboration parameters using a combination model of Octalysis and Fuzzy AHP frameworks. The test resulted in 4 collaboration parameters from the assimilation of "Silaturrahmi" ranked based on the user's level of motivation (core drive) with details: Relationship Building-RB (52.86%), Reciprocal Sustainment-RS (25.44%), Reciprocal Assistant-RA (21.77%) and Active Support- US (0.83%). It can be concluded that the four parameters potentially measure the performance of SME collaboration. The combination model can determine the user's motivation (core drive) for collaboration through these parameters. The ranking results serve as a reference for developing a collaborative framework by prioritizing activities related to the highest weight percentage parameters and evaluating the lowest weight percentage.
