The dynamic nature of today's business climate has heightened the role of leadership in shaping a dynamic company culture. Effective leadership gives clear direction and strategic alignment, allowing information systems to thrive while supporting company goals. The purpose of this research is to investigate the links between leadership, organizational culture, and the quality of accounting information systems (AIS). A quantitative research design was adopted, with data collected from 67 individuals selected through stratified random sampling from various sections of the organization. Data was gathered using a structured questionnaire, and the effect of organizational culture and leadership on AIS quality was evaluated using Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results highlight how important leadership is in creating an organizational culture that supports the mission and objectives of the business. Employee perceptions of accounting procedures are positively impacted by this alignment, which raises the caliber of AIS and increases corporate competitiveness. This study is interesting since it focuses on how leadership shapes organizational culture and directly enhances AIS quality, providing insightful information for companies aiming for efficiency and long-term growth.

2025-01-29T15:05:16+07:00

Effective staff retention strategies are essential in the workplace to address employee turnover, improve work-life balance, and promote employee commitment to the organization. This study examined the impact of work overload on staff retention in public elementary schools in the Philippines, focusing on 148 non-teaching personnel. Employing a descriptive-quantitative research design, data were gathered through a researcher-structured questionnaire formatted in Google Forms and distribution was made online via the personal email addresses of non-teaching personnel. The data were analyzed using frequency, percentage, weighted mean, standard deviation, and Pearson correlation coefficient as statistical tools. The findings revealed that work overload is prevalent, with task demands, time pressure, and role ambiguity identified as critical stressors. However, despite the workload experienced by the non-teaching personnel they are still committed to stay with the organization. Time pressure, work hours, and role ambiguity showed significant correlations with job satisfaction and organizational commitment, while resource availability and task demand exhibited no direct influence on staff retention. These findings suggest that external factors and personal resilience may mitigate the impact of work overload. Based on the findings of the study, a strategy roadmap for improving staff retention is proposed. This study is essential for an organization seeking to improve staff retention and the long-term success created through workload distribution and clarifying roles in the workplace.

Emotional Eating and Stress in College Students: A Meta-Analysis Study

2025-02-27T12:07:19+07:00

This study fills a knowledge gap regarding the relationship between emotional eating and stress in college students, which has not received adequate attention and there have not been many studies that examine the relationship between these two variables in the context of college students. Stress that cannot be managed properly will lead to emotional eating behavior, which, in the future, can have both physical and mental effects on the sufferer; therefore, this research is needed. This study aimed to determine the effect of emotional eating on stress and to detect variations among studies using meta-analysis techniques. This study hypothesizes that there is a significant relationship between emotional eating and stress in university students. This study analyzed 9 primary studies using the keywords "emotional eating, stress, college" and "emotional eating, stress, adolescent" involving a total sample of n=3005 published in various journals and selected based on specific eligibility criteria. The analysis was conducted using VOSviewer to determine the distribution of publication variables and the PRISMA flow for reviewing the articles obtained in 9 studies. The meta-analysis was conducted using JASP software. The heterogeneity test results showed that the 9 studies were heterogeneous with a p-value <0.001; Q = 27,351. The mean effect size analysis results revealed a significant positive correlation between emotional eating and stress of 0.274 and included in the low category. The results of this meta-analysis are reliable because there is no publication bias and the results can be scientifically validated. This study has several limitations. First, there were only 9 studies analyzed, so the data obtained could have been more extensive. Second, changes in eating patterns based on emotions and responses to stress vary with time and geographical location. Meta-analyses include studies from different times or places that face difficulties in consistently evaluating changes.

2025-02-12T11:12:01+07:00

Autonomous learning fosters students’ independence in managing their learning without teacher intervention. However, many students currently lack motivation for independent English vocabulary learning because of unengaging methods. The objective of this study is to determine students’ perceptions regarding the use of TikTok as a medium for learning English vocabulary for autonomous learning and improving their English vocabulary. This study employed qualitative research to analyze data, focusing on 5 AP2 students from a vocational high school in Bandung, Indonesia. The students were chosen as participants because they used TikTok as a medium for English vocabulary learning in autonomous learning. Additionally, the AP2 students were selected because their study program, Hospitality accommodation, involves frequent interaction with English vocabulary, making them more likely to engage with vocabulary learning platforms like TikTok. Data were gathered through interviews and analyzed using Miles and Haberman’s theory, which has three steps: reduce the data, display the data, and make a conclusion. The findings revealed that most students responded positively to using TikTok as a medium for autonomous English vocabulary learning, indicating that TikTok was effective in enhancing their vocabulary acquisition. The study concluded that TikTok is an effective and engaging medium for supporting autonomous English vocabulary learning, although potential distractions from the platform’s content should be considered.

Implementation of TOPSIS Method to Assist the Process of Accepting New Employees in the Company

2025-03-09T08:16:06+07:00

Human resources play an important role in ensuring that all business processes in a company run smoothly. Human resources in a company must have competencies and skills that match the company’s needs. The employee recruitment process is the first gateway that must be carried out comprehensively to obtain reliable human resources. However, the company’s recruitment process is still at risk of bias and takes a long time. This study was conducted to identify a strategy for recruiting new employees who are competent according to the qualifications required by the company. This study was developed by applying a preference ordering technique based on similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS). The data criteria used in the study were based on a selection process commonly used in one of the state-owned companies in Indonesia, which included the results of a general intelligence test (TIU), a national insight test (TWK), a field ability test (TKB), and an interview test. The weighting used was TIU 30%, TWK 10% TWK, 20% TKB, and 40% for the interview test. The study results showed that the TOPSIS method can help companies find employees with the competencies that best match the qualifications needed. TOPSIS can also increase the efficiency of the recruitment process time by up to 70%. TOPSIS can help companies find the best 20 candidates in just 7 days, whereas, in the recruitment process, without TOPSIS, the company needs 21 to 30 days. Using TOPSIS, companies can streamline the recruitment process, reduce bias, and reduce maintenance costs.

Real Estate Agents' Personal Work Values Vis-A-Vis Their Perceptions on the Developer's Organizational Values

2024-10-09T21:44:48+07:00

The alignment between a developer’s organizational and personal work values underscores the importance of person-organization fit. This study aimed to explore the relationship between real estate agents’ personal work values and real estate developers’ organizational values. The quantitative research employed both descriptive and inferential statistical tools to analyze the frequency and correlations among variables. To establish the correlation between respondents’ perceived competencies and personality traits, Spearman’s Rho and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used. The results indicated that the five subscales of personal work values were deemed extremely important by the respondents, while two subscales were considered essential. Employees prioritized factors such as salary, welfare, awards, honesty, integrity in the workplace, reputation, health, and a safe working environment. Regarding organizational values, employees rated all seven subscales as very important. The findings suggest that organizations must address employee needs to enhance productivity and performance. Moreover, personal work values were significantly related to organizational values, with employees’ values aligning with the organization’s goals. This alignment fosters stronger employee commitment. Understanding and integrating personal and organizational values is essential for improving employee morale and dedication to the organization.

Relationship of Workplace Culture on Employee Performance: The Case of a Higher Education Institution in the Philippines

2024-11-22T20:24:50+07:00

Workplace culture drives the transformation of individual employee performance. This study assessed the workplace culture across four dimensions in terms of communication, leadership, teamwork, and recognition, and determined its relationship with employee performance in terms of motivation, job satisfaction, and productivity. This descriptive-quantitative study employed a researcher-structured approach to examine the relationship of workplace culture on employee performance in a higher education institution (HEI) in the Philippines. The data were collected from 56 employees of the subject HEI using a researcher-structured questionnaire administered in-person. Statistical tests such as frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and multiple regression analysis using Partial Least Square SEM were employed in the data analysis. The findings revealed that the HEI has an appropriate and relevant workplace culture supportive of achieving common goals and making employees productively engaged in their work, though the employee performance can still be improved. Likewise, the study also confirmed that workplace culture is significantly related to employee performance in terms of productivity. On the other hand, no significant relationships exist between the dimensions of workplace culture and the motivation and job satisfaction dimensions of employee performance were revealed. While problems related to workplace culture rarely occur in the HEI, the researchers suggest a strategy roadmap for a more positive workplace culture to further improve employee performance. This study can be used as a reference in formulating workplace culture enhancement measures to increase employee performance.
