Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between factors in HRM management development and organizational strategy using the philosophical values approach of Islamic studies. The assessment of organizational performance characteristics with strategic management values and psychological techniques in human resource management is part of the study's state-of-the-art and distinctive characteristics. Design/Methodology/Approach: The method used in this study is Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the selection of analysis using non-parametric Smart-PLS. We analyzed 256 samples of lecturers at several private universities within the LLDIKTI-IX, Sulawesi, Indonesia. Findings: 14 hypotheses are reviewed in this study. According to our findings, 13 hypotheses have a positive and significant effect on the dependent variable. The antecedents of Islamic management values, leadership style, religiosity and fairness can increase complex effects on organizational motivation, HRM engagement, performance and organizational sustainability. Conclusion: Our findings provide theoretical and managerial reinforcement of various long-term strategic considerations to support the effect of organizational sustainability by reviewing the HRM aspect as an intangible asset. Research Implications: This study contributes to broadening the theoretical understanding of strategic management studies developed with a psychological approach as well as Islamic value management. Practical Implications: Organisations must pay attention to various crucial variables to boost job satisfaction, motivation and employee engagement such as HR development components and work evaluations carried out and developed on a regular basis.

Introduction/Purpose: Economics is a dynamic subject whose students use the contents to address real-life problems. Therefore, this paper examines the transformation of economics to tackle teachers’ challenges in the teaching of economics. Design/Methodology/Approach: This paper used a qualitative research technique to collect information from teachers based on a phenomenological research design. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 12 teachers of economics in 6 selected schools in Buffalo City. A semi-structured interview was used to elicit information from the respondents and the data were analysed using a thematic approach. Findings: The study identifies certain notable issues including imprecise economics curriculum materials and learners' inability to demonstrate interest due to various statistics and data components of the subject. Teachers' participation in professional development activities such as seminars, in-service training and workshops for knowledge updates is one of the solutions offered to overcome these difficulties. Limitation: This paper uses only 12 economics teachers from Buffalo City metropolitan municipality. Larger samples can be used in another municipality. A quantitative approach can be used to accommodate representative samples. Practical Implications: Teachers are expected to be at the forefront of disseminating the contents of the subject appropriately because a teacher can only give what he or she has. Teachers should be proactive and current with the recent developments in the nation and be technologically compliant. Contribution to the Literature: This paper contributes to the literature by highlighting practical solutions to the challenges teachers face during the teaching of economics.

Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to empirically examine the predictive influence of locus of control (internal and external) on adult learners’ academic attitude and engagement using the theory of andragogy. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study adopted a quantitative research approach and data were collected from 216 adult learners participating in literacy programmes in Oyo State, Southwest Nigeria. The study's data collection tool was a structured questionnaire that focused on four domains: demographic parameters, locus of control (internal and external), academic attitude and academic engagement. A partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) analysis with SmartPLS software was used to analyze the collected data. Findings: The findings of the study indicated that adult learners' academic attitude significantly influenced their academic engagement. It was revealed that the internal locus of control had a significant positive impact on the academic attitude and engagement of the adult learners. Furthermore, the relationship between academic attitude and engagement was moderated by internal locus of control. However, the external locus of control had no significant effect on the academic attitude and engagement of adult learners. Conclusion: Interventions aimed at improving adult learners' academic attitude and engagement should take into account the role of the internal locus of control. Strategies such as goal-setting and self-reflection critical to developing a stronger internal locus of control may be effective in promoting positive academic attitudes and engagement among adult learners. Practical Implications: This study’s results have implications for both literacy organizers and facilitators regarding support strategies to maximize learners’ engagement, motivation and effective learning.

Purpose: Youths must overcome multiple challenges to adjust to a combative environment. Resilient individuals may overcome all negative thoughts and attitudes when confronted with difficulty. However, students who are unable to change or control the conflict will have a negative attitude throughout their lives. Thus, this study aimed to examine the influence of the resilience construct on conflict management among youths in Malaysia. Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a quantitative approach through a questionnaire instrument involving a total of 533 respondents among youths comprising students of educational programme and novice teachers in the northern zone of Peninsular Malaysia. The Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale and Rahim Organizational Conflict Inventory (ROCI II) questionnaires were used in this study. The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28 and Structural Equation Model-Part Least Square, SmartPLS 4 software. Findings: The findings showed that there was an influence of the resistance dimension on conflict management. The findings also showed that tenacity and spiritual dimensions have an influence on conflict management. Conclusion: Resilience is a skill that should be learned and possessed by each individual especially youths when facing life conflicts. Research Limitation: The data found in this study were based on questionnaires. The findings of the study were limited as they depended on the honesty and willingness of the respondents to answer the questionnaire. Contribute to the Literature: This study contributes to the existing literature that resilience constructs have influence on conflict management among youths.

Purpose: One of the talents necessary for surviving in the modern economy is creativity which may be developed when students learn about global concerns through education for sustainable development which is recognised as having transformational power. The aim of this research is to propose an electronic course structure promoting sustainable development issues and developing students’ creativity and to test its effectiveness. Design/Methodology/Approach: During the formative pedagogical experiment (2021-2022) in the experimental group of 28 first-year television studies students, we modelled a creative seminar structure and used it to develop an electronic English language course in the Moodle Learning Management System. The control group included 27 1st year students of the same major who followed the curriculum-planned course. The results of the pre- and post-experimental questionnaire surveys were analyzed with the Mann Whitney U and ANOVA tests. Findings: According to the results of the post-experimental diagnostics, the students of the experimental group demonstrated a more positive attitude towards the e-learning environment as one conducive to the development of their creativity than the students of the control group. Conclusion: The positive shift in the experimental group students’ attitude can indicate the effectiveness of the suggested electronic course structure. Thus, it is possible to conclude that using creativity as an organizing principle in an e-learning environment allows educators to introduce the most vital worldwide challenges to students as stimuli for creative tasks and in return, receive their creative solutions.

Purpose: Technology in education especially in accounting and computer learning is currently needed to support teacher performance and as a facility for students to participate in the learning process in the 21st century. This study aimed to determine whether there are differences in the performance of teachers before and after training on information technology-based learning evaluation models that use accounting applications. Design/Methodology/Approach: The process of mastering Wondershare software is carried out for economics and accounting teachers in order to enhance the quality of learning. The research design uses a true pre-and post-tests experimental design with respondents being teachers in the field of accounting learning. Findings: The results showed that there were differences before and after the training was carried out. After the training, the ability of teachers to perform the learning evaluation process improved. Conclusion: Similarly, the responses of the teachers during the training and their perceptions of using the learning evaluation application were very enthusiastic. Research Limitations and Implications: The limitation in this study is that there are many choices in using the questions in this application so not all the model questions in the application are taught. Practical Implications: The findings of this study may be used to train instructors and raise their levels of proficiency, resulting in higher-quality human development. Contribution to the Literature: The theoretical ramifications of this research include developing appropriate modelling in training and learning through the use of direct instructional applications.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the concept of Emotional Intelligence (EI) and determine if managers’ emotional intelligence is a significant predictor of school culture. It also examined the possibility that gender may have an effect on managers' influence on school culture. Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used a survey research method in order to learn more about how managers' emotional intelligence (EI) affected school culture in the study region during the time of the research. The independent t-test and multiple regression analysis were used to analyse the data using a sample of 100 vice principals. Findings: The findings indicated that managers’ emotional intelligence influence on school culture varies by gender and that the emotional intelligence of school managers is a significant predictor of school culture. Conclusion: According to the results' interpretation, emotionally intelligent principals can improve the school's environment making it more friendly and compassionate. Principal plays a significant role in their management effect on school culture. Research Limitations and Practical Implications: Stakeholders can practically create a positive school culture and rid the school system of a toxic atmosphere by improving their employees’ EI competencies which are important comprehensible skills. Future research should aim at finding out specific areas of differences between male and female managers’ EI. Contribution to the Literature: The results of this study may serve as a tool for policymakers in teacher and student personnel management, in addition to providing literature for future research. It may also serve as a resource for school improvement.

Purpose: This study examined the effects of educational resource accessibility on lecturers' task performance in public universities in Cross River State, Nigeria. It also explored the possibility of developing instructional resources with culturally relevant information to support creative teaching methods.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used a survey research method with a sample of 577 lecturers or tutors selected randomly from various departments of local public universities. Data was collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using a one-way analysis of variance and Fisher's least significant difference (LSD).
Findings: The analysis of the data showed that lecturers' and instructors' performance in terms of teaching, research and community work is significantly impacted by the availability of educational resources.
Conclusion: The effectiveness of lecturers' tasks is proportional to the calibre of instructional materials provided by their institutions. Lecturers with high levels of instructional resource availability outperformed those with moderate or low levels of resource availability.
Research Limitations/Future Research: The current study was limited to the general influence of instructional materials’ availability on lecturers’ task performance. Future researchers should focus on identifying local content areas for improvement and student-lecturers’ collaboration in instructional resource design and fabrication.
Practical Implications: This study may serve as the impetus for university administrators to collaborate with sociologists, anthropologists and educational technologists in order to improve student-lecturer collaboration in the creation of culturally embedded instructional materials for better task performance from lecturers and increased student engagement in learning processes.
Contribution to the Literature: The findings of this study may provide literature for scholastic reviews and also become a policy -making tool for educational resource planners.

Purpose: The aim of this research was to present a method that would allow responding to both interests in a staggered and proportional way, in correspondence with existing financial availability.
Design/Methodology/Approach: This research shows the results of the application of a methodological proposal programmed in MATLAB, which provided a solution to the described problem.
Findings: The application was carried out in a small company, which has three fundamental products, and allowed to optimize the use of the available capital, increasing both the installed capacities and the potential demand for the products offered.
Conclusion: It is possible to define an investment strategy that, based on the existence of an amount of financial availability, alternates the investment in the limiting capacity or the commercialization actions in correspondence with what is the limitation of the organization, which can be a limitation of capacity or market. This favors a systematic increase in the utility of the organization.
Practical Implications: An analysis algorithm is developed that can serve as a guide for businessmen to design investment strategies aimed at increasing demand or capacity restrictions, as the case may be, based on financial availability and contributing to the systematic increase in the utility of the organization under study.
Contribution to Literature: A method is presented that combines the analysis of capacity restrictions with those of demand restrictions, an aspect that is generally addressed in the literature independently.

 Design/Methodology/Approach: This research shows the results of the application of a methodological proposal programmed in MATLAB, which provided a solution to the described problem.
 Findings: The application was carried out in a small company, which has three fundamental products, and allowed to optimize the use of the available capital, increasing both the installed capacities and the potential demand for the products offered.
 Conclusion: It is possible to define an investment strategy that, based on the existence of an amount of financial availability, alternates the investment in the limiting capacity or the commercialization actions in correspondence with what is the limitation of the organization, which can be a limitation of capacity or market. This favors a systematic increase in the utility of the organization.

Purpose: The objective of this study is to analyse the relationship between teachers and the pedagogical requirements of the learning process that ensure that students use reflective practice in the learning process by studying the theoretical framework of the concept of reflection.
Design/Methodology/Approach: A phenomenological research design was chosen which is based on the paradigm of humanistic research. The method of inductive content analysis was chosen for the analysis of qualitative data.
Findings: The empirical findings of the research indicate that setting goals is essential for the reflection process. Students must actively participate in the process by focussing on, evaluating and applying critical thinking to specific content in order to achieve those goals.
Conclusion: The study highlights the importance of reflection activities in the learning process which allow students to base their decisions on their previous experiences, choose and verify the correctness of learning concepts, focus on growth, improve research skills and create new experiences. Teachers need to incorporate this into practice by actively involving students in the learning process to facilitate the reflection process.
Practical Implication: The result indicates that reflection practice is crucial in the learning process. Teachers need to incorporate this into a practice that allows the students to be actively involved in the learning process and take responsibility for their progress.
