The South African public sector confronts a problem in retaining scarce skills because it competes in the labour market with the private sector, which provides higher packages/ benefits and conducive working conditions. Higher turnover of workers with scarce skills is a serious problem for service delivery and a costly exercise for the government. When scarce-skilled employees leave the public sector, vacant positions in the institutions' post establishments arise; as a result, the public institutions' ability to provide quality service delivery declines, and the recruitment and selection process is a costly process that further strains the government's budget. The capacity of a public institution to provide world-class service to its citizens is entirely dependent on the availability of competent staff who will carry out their tasks in such a manner that service delivery is enhanced. This paper aims to assess the current turnover rate among scarce skills employees within the South African public sector, and present viable alternatives for the government to address the escalating turnover issues, ultimately ensuring the retention of these valuable employees. To achieve the objective of the article, this paper used a review of the literature. The findings of this study revealed that the South African public sector is having difficulty attracting and retaining scarce skilled employees, which has a negative impact on the delivery and development of services. This higher turnover is faced by all levels of government and is driven by a competition for scarce skills between the government and the private sector, unfavourable working conditions, and less competitive packages, which has resulted in a situation where posts in the public sector remain vacant for longer periods of time. Few studies address concerns about scarce skills, high turnover, and personnel retention, particularly in the South African public sector. The author contends that this field should be further researched because effective and efficient public service delivery depends on the qualified staff.

Employee professionalism is one of the behaviors that become the competitiveness of an institution in the global era. For that, employee professionalism behavior in strategic institutions must be continuously developed. This study aims to determine how high human capital and training factors influence the professional behavior of managers at Bank Central Indonesia in Jakarta. The research method used is the quantitative survey method with respondents at Bank Central Indonesia managers in Jakarta with a sample of 46 people from an affordable population of 108 managers (work experience above 20 years); the sample was taken by purposive quota sampling. Data collection using a questionnaire instrument with alternative answers of 5 (five) Likert scales. Data analysis using multiple regression with SPSS. The findings in this study are: a) human capital and training together influence the high and low development of managers' professional behavior; b) the relationship between human capital and training together to the professionalism of managers shows positive and very strong (R=0.833); c) human capital and training together contribute to the achievement of manager professionalism by 69.5%, and the remaining 30.5% by other factors; d) human capital has a higher sensitivity than training in the development of professionalism manager; e) ) in the digital era like today, the development of professional behavior is highly treated and can be done through strengthening human capital and organizing sustainable training.

Voter participation in an election is often a measure of election success. The higher the level of participation, the higher the public's trust in the election process and the stronger the legitimacy of the elected leader. The City of South Tangerang, which has participated in the regional elections three times until the last election in 2020, has had an interesting experience regarding voter participation. In the previous regional elections, namely in 2010 and 2015, voter participation was never more than 60%. In the 2010 elections, voter participation only reached 56.9%, and in the 2015 elections even decreased to only 56.8%. This number is very far from the average target for regional election participation. In 2020 elections were held during a pandemic, and there was concern that voter participation would decline further. In fact, voter participation rose to 60.48%. From the initial survey, it was found that the KPU of South Tangerang City before the election was worried that participation would decline, so they developed a strategy to increase voter participation. This study aims to determine the strategy for increasing voter participation carried out by the KPU of South Tangerang City in the 2020 elections and to find out the challenges, obstacles, and supporting strengths. The theory used in this study is the theory of voter participation from Hungtinfton, Verba, and Kaats, as well as findings in journals related to strategies for increasing participation. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. Data analysis: qualitative based on Miles and Huberman. Test the Validity of the Data using Triangulation. The result research showed that the KPU of South Tangerang City, in an effort to increase the level of political participation, used a strategy with the P Process model by starting to use vision and mission analysis, identifying problems, formulating strategies by making activities plans, implementing strategies through socialization with five types of activities: competitions, virtual meetings, print journalism, social media and distribution of visual aids for socialization purposes. All implementations are monitored and evaluated both in the middle and at the end of the activities.

The highest increase in social media users reached 34.2% in 2017. Meanwhile, Whatsapp is the most widely used social media in Indonesia. The percentage record at 88.7%. After that, there are Instagram and Facebook, with percentages of 84.8% and 81.3%. Microblogging on Instagram feature is usually for marketing and promotion, but content creators use it as a medium of education in today's society. This medium stimulates teachers to take advantage of Microblog for learning media. This study aimed to test the feasibility of microblogging design concerning the development of learning media in designing visual messages on social media and analyzing microblogs used for education. These research methods are development design and qualitative research. Researchers use experts to assess the microblogging design and collect data by interviewing experts regarding microblogging as an educational medium. The study's result in the form of a Microblog design considers that several categories still need to reach the media feasibility test. Some categories that still need to be feasible are form (element), line, and space. Revision is needed because it will affect the effectiveness of Microblog as a learning medium for students. Microblog for collaborative learning is needed for andragogy learning methods needed by adults. Another unique finding is educational microblogs which present picture stories and are more popular than images. The researcher designed Microblog by paying attention to visual communication to provide education.

Responsible cultural tourism requires a sustainable approach that includes preserving cultural values while promoting economic and environmental sustainability. This study examines why the Lasem Heritage Foundation chose digital storytelling as a form of sustainable communication for managing cultural tourism and how it aligns with sustainable communication principles. Using a case study approach and qualitative methods, data were collected through interviews, observation, and literature review. Findings indicate that digital storytelling is an effective approach to managing cultural tourism for the Lasem Heritage Foundation, as it provides lasting impact and message amplification. Their Instagram and Website with "Kesengsem Lasem" as tourism branding have helped the foundation communicate and amplify their cultural values to the public and promote sustainable tourism practices to wider audiences. Furthermore, The foundation's use of digital storytelling as a sustainable communication approach in managing cultural tourism effectively conveys lasting messages and helps reinforce the cultural values and environmental sustainability of the destination. These include (1) Ecological Trust in their website articles, (2) ecological access in their Social Business Programs, (3) ecological disclosures in the use of Instagram and Website as the leading platform of digital storytelling & communication tools with all stakeholders, and (4) ecological dialogues in their preservation class, series of learning clinic, and a particular program called to travel for all. Future research should expand the number of informants and consider additional data collection methods such as focus group discussions and content analysis of digital platforms.

Although research on entrepreneurial competencies has been widely carried out in the last decades, this topic is still preliminary. Indonesian MSMEs have been severely impacted by COVID-19, with losses of up to millions. Entrepreneurial competencies are believed to be the main driver in handling this issue. Underlined by the disaster and crisis management theory, entrepreneurial competencies are expected to give a company both long-term adaptability and innovation abilities that may result in significant improvements in their business as well as the short-term coping capacity to recover from violent shocks. Thus, this study builds a novel conceptual framework that determines the influence of entrepreneurial competencies on business resilience in the Indonesian MSMEs context. Several mediator variables were also included in the conceptual model: dynamic capability and innovation ambidexterity. Through purposive sampling, a sample of 220 Indonesian MSME actors get involved in this study. PLS-SEM procedure through a two-stage approach was used to test the proposed model. The results show that entrepreneurial competencies significantly impact business resilience in Indonesian MSMEs. It was also found that dynamic capabilities and innovation ambidexterity partially mediated those relationships. From these results, this study suggests that business practitioners should become more aware of their competencies to survive in this uncertain world. In addition, the government must re-educate and ensure that all middle and lower entrepreneurs have appropriate competencies to continue to compete.

The role of small businesses in the socioeconomic development of nations has been well established. Despite this, the failure rate of small businesses in developing economies remains high. Much of this stems from poor performance levels on the part of small businesses which is often exacerbated by the continued flux and disruptions in the business environment. Recognising the importance of astute responsiveness to the dynamic business environment, this study investigates whether absorptive capacity can energise small business performance. The study employed the partial least squares structural equation modelling technique and multiple regression analysis to analyse data collected from an effective pool of 685 small business owners/managers. The results affirm that absorptive capacity has a positive though a weak relationship with small business performance. Interestingly, when the absorptive capacity construct was disaggregated, it was insightful to note that not all its components bear statistically significant relationships with small business performance. Specifically, the relationships between small business performance and the component factors of assimilation and exploitation were statistically supported. In contrast, the factors of acquisition and transformation have no statistically significant relationship with small business performance. The finding has important implications for practitioners and researchers as it illuminates specific components of absorptive capacity that deserve higher investments in the quest for improved small business performance.

This paper examines the relationship between assets, capital, liabilities and liquidity in South Africa using the Johansen cointegration analysis and the GARCH model using times data for the period 02/2005 to 06/2018. The results obtained from the study suggests that the time series are integrated of order one, I(1). The findings from the Johansen cointegration test indicated that the variables have a long run cointegrating relationship. Furthermore, the results from the GARCH model revealed that the estimated model has statistically significant coefficients at 5% significance level. Additionally, results revealed that assets have a positive relationship with capital, liabilities and liquidity. This implies that a percentage increase in assets will result to a percentage increase in capital, liabilities and liquidity. The results also revealed that shocks decay quickly in the future and that the conditional variance is explosive. The diagnostic tests revealed that the estimated models show the characteristics of a well specified model. The recommendations for future studies were formulated.

The presence of women entrepreneurs in the digital marketplace revolutionizes the way we construct our understanding of entrepreneurship way back. Perhaps, this argument could lead to a better impression that entrepreneurship was once a male-dominated profession. This study was designed to generate a causal model on entrepreneurial intention among women entrepreneurs in the context of entrepreneurship, opportunity, alertness, and motivation. A mixed methods design, particularly an explanatory sequential approach, was utilized, and a total of 423 women digital entrepreneurs in the Davao Region participated in this research. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test the hypothesized causal model. Findings indicated that entrepreneurial motivation significantly influences alertness, opportunity, and intention; alertness influences opportunity, but entrepreneurial alertness and entrepreneurial opportunity have no significant influence on entrepreneurial intention. Generally, the hypothesized regression model described 67% of the aggregate variance in entrepreneurial intentions, which was statistically significant. The quantitative results were validated by the informants in the qualitative phase. As to the generated model, the informants concurred with the focal role of entrepreneurial motivation in women's entrepreneurial intentions. The emerging themes: personal will, entrepreneurial screening and seizing, social media presence, and stakeholder support substantiated the results in the model. This leads to connecting-merging-confirmation as the natural integration.

Perhaps, this argument could lead to a better impression that entrepreneurship was once a male-dominated profession. This study was designed to generate a causal model on entrepreneurial intention among women entrepreneurs in the context of entrepreneurship, opportunity, alertness, and motivation. A mixed methods design, particularly an explanatory sequential approach, was utilized, and a total of 423 women digital entrepreneurs in the Davao Region participated in this research. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test the hypothesized causal model. Findings indicated that entrepreneurial motivation significantly influences alertness, opportunity, and intention; alertness influences opportunity, but entrepreneurial alertness and entrepreneurial opportunity have no significant influence on entrepreneurial intention. Generally, the hypothesized regression model described 67% of the aggregate variance in entrepreneurial intentions, which was statistically significant. The quantitative results were validated by the informants in the qualitative phase. As to the generated model, the informants concurred with the focal role of entrepreneurial motivation in women's entrepreneurial intentions. The emerging themes: personal will, entrepreneurial screening and seizing, social media presence, and stakeholder support substantiated the results in the model. This leads to connecting-merging-confirmation as the natural integration.\u0000Keywords: Entrepreneurial Intention; Entrepreneurial alertness; Entrepreneurial Opportunity; Entrepreneurial Motivation; Gender Empowerment.","PeriodicalId":403893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Science and Humanities","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134156090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

PT Snack Sehat is a manufacturing company that produces healthy snacks and beverages in Indonesia. Its IT division has a software department that manages all creation and maintenance of information system projects. Although the software department planned and monitored project development thoroughly during their work, 42% of projects were late in 2020. Those late projects' costs led to financial loss and kept rising through 2020-2021. Digitalization is how technologies affect several aspects of life, like social interactions, business operations, and how people work. Digitalization improved and sped up knowledge-sharing processes within the organization. Since knowledge sharing is done more frequently, the absorptive capacity will also be improved. This brings up the question of how to design a KM program with digital tools that will help PT Snack Sehat to increase its efficiency in project development and operation support. The primary data for this research was gathered from KM Assessment using APO KM Framework and focus group discussion with top and middle-level managers from PT Snack Sehat. To develop a KM program, the research will use Six Steps KM Processes, which consist of KM Project, KM Assessment, KM Planning, K-Development, KM Implementation, and KM Evaluation. The development steps will include defining the objectives of the KM program, answering questions related to the knowledge management components (people, process, and technology), determining the knowledge management strategy based on KM objectives, and setting the action plan to get ten commitments from top-level management. The results show several processes and methods that need to be added to the current KM: KM Orientation & Training, Shadowing, Sharing Knowledge Checklist, Lesson Learned Document, Document Validation, and Document Organization. The complete knowledge management process will also be mapped in a Knowledge Stock and Flow Diagram using SECI Matrix.
