Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effect of emotional intelligence (EI) and achievement motivation (AM) on elementary school principals’ leadership styles. This study investigates the contribution of EI and AM on the two major leadership categories: the task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership. Design/methodology/approach This paper is a quantitative study with the implementation of correlation and hierarchical regression analysis. The surveys (i.e. EI scale, AM scale, leadership style questionnaire) were sent randomly to 280 elementary school principals in South Sulawesi, Indonesia, and 90 of them completed the survey (mostly male=77.78 percent). Findings Principals’ EI significantly predicted both task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership. In contrast, the principals’ AM yielded non-significant results in predicting both task-oriented and relationship-oriented leadership style. The results also suggested that the effect of EI on two major leadership styles (i.e. task- and relationship-orientation) outperformed the leader’s AM. Research limitations/implications This study did not consider the principals’ performance in the analysis. Future studies should also address this issue by considering leadership performance as well as different culture and context. On the other hand, the authors developed new measures rather than using preexisting measures. Although the measures have been constructed according to the scale construction principles and reached an acceptable standard, future research should advance the psychometric property of the scales. Originality/value This study discusses the effect of EI and AM on task- and relationship-orientation leadership. In addition, this study has also brought a new insight into understanding leadership styles in collective culture such as Indonesia.
Purpose This study aims to investigate the role of Buginese cultural value system (BCVS), motivational values type (MVT) and entrepreneurial traits (ET) on business performance (BP). The study investigated the role of each variable in predicting BP among Buginese entrepreneurs. Design/methodology/approach The study was conducted in South Sulawesi, in small and medium scale enterprises with a focus on Buginese entrepreneurs. Random sampling technique was used along with some inclusion criteria. Based on those criteria, the questionnaires were administered to 300 participants with 70 per cent valid responses (180 males, 30 females). The study used well-constructed measures (i.e. BCVS, MVT, ET and BP) by following a guideline of adapting and developing instruments. The data were analyzed using structural equation model technique to examine the proposed theoretical model. Findings The results showed that the hypothesized model fitted the empirical data. The MVT and ET-mediated the effect of BCVS on BP or BCVS indirectly influenced BP. In brief, this research successfully showed that local cultural value system (BCVS) had a significant effect on the performance of Buginese entrepreneurs through the mediating role of MTV and ET, which means that local cultural value functions as a predictor of the performance of Buginese entrepreneurs. Originality/value A number of previous studies have investigated the significant role of local culture in predicting business and entrepreneurship performance. This study focused on local values and considering some advanced theories in both entrepreneurship and psychology. As a result, this study provided a new perspective in understanding local culture as an antecedent to entrepreneurship performance.
Abstract-The current study aims to investigate the extent of job satisfaction contribution to employee engagement. Employee engagement has been found as being important to employee productivity and organization performance. Participants were 110 employees of a private property company in Makassar, Indonesia. A self-administered questionnaire was used to measure job satisfaction and employee engagement. Simple multiple regression showed that Job satisfaction was significantly predicted employee engagement (R 2 = .561, p<.05) Additionally, multiple regression highlighted factors of job satisfaction such as operating conditions, coworkers, nature of works, and communication significantly contributed to employee engagement whereas promotion, pay benefit, and reward were found to be insignificant. These results suggest that increasing job satisfaction can potentially leverage employee engagement. However, only three out of seven factors of job satisfaction contributed significant effect to the employee engagement. Future research is needed to test whether these findings can be found in other company with the same type of business and other types of business.
Abstract-Online gaming may cause deficit on adolescence's academicals achievement and social interaction difficulties, thus may be referred as one of a social deviance. Deviation is a set of behavior which able to bring up problematic on daily life. One of the factors that contribute on deviation is individual motive. Motive can be assumed as an energy that may determine one's behavior.Motives on online gaming could be the predictor of deviation on online gaming. Deviation on online gaming can be referred as problematic online gaming use. This study aims to find our problematic online gaming use on adolescence as well as motives on online gaming that may predict problematic online gaming use. The method of this study is quantitative research method.Motives for Online Gaming Questionnaire and Problematic Online Gaming Questionnaire measured 301 participants in total. The findings show that tendency on adolescence's problematic online gaming use are on moderate category. By multiple regression can be seen that motives on online gaming simultaneously significant predicting adolescence's problematic online gaming use, which the contribution online gaming motives are account for 51,6 percent. While social motive, escape motive, competition motive, skill development motive, and fantasy motive partially significant predicting problematic online gaminguse. Coping motive and recreation motive partially not significant predicting problematic online gaming use.
The traffic accidents often occur due to the lack of awareness while driving. The variance reason such us undisciplined and unwise to be polite when driving is the main cause of crashes. Road safety is one of the important roles to support and to develop to the commonwealth. This research aims to investigate the potential risk of speeding on a national road in Makassar. The driver performance the speeding is more occurs in the midnight till dawn. The situation of drivers while speeding is conducted to make them arrived early to the destination. The respondents' preferences also show the speed of the vehicle through the national road is around 40 – 60 km/hour. It is still in normal speed requirement at least 60 km/hour. Potensi kecelakaan akibat ketidaktertiban dalam berlalu lintas dapat terjadi. Penyebab kecelakaan lalu lintas dapat beragam seperti kurangnya kesadaran untuk berkendara secara bijak dan tertib serta penuh tanggung jawab. Pentingnya menjaga ketertiban ketertiban berkendara merupakan salah satu upaya dalam mendukung pembangunan dan integrasi nasional untuk memajukan kesejahteraan umum.
