Dyana Marciana M. Saplan^a, ^aCollege of Nursing, Ateneo de Zamboanga University, La Purisima St., Zamboanga City, Philippines, Email: ^asaplandyam@adzu.edu.ph  

The study aimed to apply Everett M. Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovation Theory to heighten the research culture in selected Colleges of Nursing in Region IX, Philippines through the “Awareness and Motivation Session”. Utilising Rogers’ DOI Theory, this study looked into the possibility of whether the innovation, which was the “Awareness and Motivation Session,” was able to heighten the research culture among faculty in selected colleges of nursing by reinforcing their interest in research, and for faculty members to seek opportunities to engage in research activities. Quasi-experimental, pre-test/post-test research design utilising quantitative approach and complementary qualitative approach was employed in the study. Thirty-two (32) faculty respondents and four (4) administrators who were employed in Colleges of Nursing in Zamboanga City, Region IX were involved in the study, and were chosen through convenience sampling. An adapted questionnaire on faculty research productivity based on Bland et al. (2002) model was used with permission, for the quantitative part.  To complement the results gathered from the questionnaire, a semi-structured interview utilising an interview guide was employed for the qualitative part.  Both instruments underwent content validity and reliability. Findings revealed there was a significant difference on the perception of the faculty on research culture in the Colleges of Nursing in terms of institutional factors before and after the Awareness and Motivation Session, and increase in mean values of the leadership and individual factors.  The AMS, used as an innovation to heighten research culture in the study, showed promise to be an effective initiative to heighten research culture among faculty in Colleges of Nursing.  Furthermore, results have shown no significant difference in the perception of research culture in terms of individual and institutional factors between the faculty and the administrators of Colleges of Nursing in Zamboanga City.  However, a significant difference in terms of leadership factor between faculty and administrators in Colleges of Nursing was presented.  The Awareness and Motivation Session may be further enhanced to be more effective in heightening research culture in the Colleges of Nursing.  Pages 307 to 322

The internship program is a period of transition that enhances the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of aspiring nurses. It serves as a training venue for nurse interns in adapting to clinical situations. This study aimed to determine the relationship that exists in the level of adaptation of nurse interns in acute care hospital practice and their demographic features. It employed a descriptive correlational study with the participation of eighty-two nurse interns who were about to complete the internship program from the University of Hail City, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A two-part questionnaire tool was utilised, with the first part covering the demographic features of respondents and the second part adapted Casey-Fink Readiness for the practice survey tool. The questionnaire was validated by five experts, and 15 nurse interns who were not part of the actual group of respondents answered it for reliability testing, utilising the Cronbach alpha. The overall adaptation level of nurse interns in hospital practice is slightly able to adapt. There is no significant difference between the level of adaptation of nurse interns in acute care hospital practice when grouped according to age. However, there is a significant difference between the level of adaptation and their GPA and type of program. It was concluded that nurse interns from the bridging program and those with high-grade point average appear to have a higher level of adaptation in acute care hospital practice than those in the regular program and those with low-grade point average.

Students of the 21st century are expected to acquire essential soft skills such as creativity, communication, critical thinking and collaboration. In order to cultivate such skills, it is necessary to embrace a form of teamwork based on cooperative learning in which students can interact with each other and exercise their skills in an appropriate environment. A key characteristic of cooperative learning is to assign a designated role to particular team members, making each important to contribute to the achievement of team mission. However, it remains unclear how many roles should be constituted in one team and how students with different personality types should be grouped together. This paper therefore adopts the framework of DISC personality and Kolb's experiential learning cycle to develop a synthesised model called COPE which composes of four crucial roles of teamwork: Communicator, Overseer, Philosopher and Empathist. Each of the roles can be well aligned with the four personality types which are classified by their focus when working towards the completion of a given mission (task-focused or people-focused) and their preferred mode of idea expression (expressive or passive). The COPE model offers designated roles for students to accomplish in classroom settings. In addition, it offers a cyclical rotation of the roles which is believed to be theoretically appropriate for students to learn to work with others effectively and to adapt themselves to work on a newly given role professionally.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the caring behavioural education model that is influenced jointly by the value of personality and expertise courses as learning outcomes with a single mediation or a combination of student attitudes about caring, subjective norms of students and perceptions of caring behaviour of nursing students. This study uses a quantitative research approach with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis techniques using Lisrel software. The study was conducted on 120 students of the third level of the Study Program in DIII Nursing Stikes Hang Tuah, Surabaya who are undergoing the final practice in the form of a case study at Hospital Dr Ramelan, Surabaya. The results showed that the educational model of student caring behaviour is influenced jointly by knowledge in the form of personality and skills courses in the form of expertise courses through a combination of mediation together with the direct influence of student attitudes about caring, the direct influence of student subjective norms and the effect of indirect perception control student caring behaviour. The results of the research model are fit, which includes both. Implications: the results of the study found the concept that caring behaviour education for nursing students needs to be developed based on the principles of knowing moral integrity, moral feeling, and moral action through various learning approaches. Students need to be assigned assignments for study visits or internships at a hospital, according to the time available, as part of the lecture system, to gain more knowledge and skills.

VO2 max is the "engine" of an athlete. The better VO2 max, the better physical abilities of an athlete to play games for a long time without significant exhaustion. Badminton players, for example, must have excellent physical condition. The physical condition of Indonesian players, especially their VO2 max, however, tends to be relatively low. This study aims to examine: (1) the effects of jump rope and high jump training with 1:1 intervals on increasing VO2 max and anaerobic threshold; (2) the difference between the effects of jump rope training with intervals of 1:1 and high jump with intervals of 1:1 on VO2 max and anaerobic threshold. This research uses a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method. The research design used in in this study is factorial design and data analysis using t-test and MANOVA. The results show that: (1) There is an effect of jump rope and high jump training with 1:1 intervals on increasing VO2 max and anaerobic threshold; (2) there is a difference in effects between jump rope training with 1:1 intervals and high jump with 1:1 intervals on VO2 max and anaerobic threshold. This study concludes that jump rope and high jump training with 1:1 intervals can increase VO2 max and anaerobic threshold, and that jump rope training with 1:1 intervals works more effectively.

A Quantitative Study on HR and Talent Management in the Service Industry: A case of Bahrain

Soleman Mozammel^a, ^aFaculty of Management, Business Studies Program, Arab Open University, Bahrain, Email: ^asmozammel@hotmail.com, soleman.mozammel@aou.org.bh

Given that talent retention hinges on how best an organisation can entice, preserve, attract, improve, manage, retain and maintain necessary talents, a fitting question is ‘what are the determinants of talent retention?’ To answer this question, the current study examined the effects of training, pay-for-performance, non-monetary rewards and working conditions on talent retention. Data was obtained from 476 employees in Bahrain’s service industry. The data was analysed using PLS-SEM’s measurement model and structural model evaluation. The results obtained from the running of PLS-SEM’s algorithm indicate that training and development, non-monetary rewards, and working conditions are significant determinants of talent retention. This implies that need-based training and development, relevant non-monetary rewards, and conducive working conditions should be entrenched in organisations in order to enhance talent retention in Bahrain and elsewhere in the world. While the impacts of training, pay-for-performance, non-monetary rewards and working condition on talent retention are relatively high, there are other unidentified variables that could have impacts on talent retention. Hence, future research should endeavour to identify those factors. Pages 519 to 536

Extant empirical evidence has signified that the only way to gain a continuous competitive advantage, offer differentiated goods and services and minimise costs is to enhance employee innovation performance. Therefore, this study aims to explore the predictors of employee innovation performance by investigating the effects of job design, training and development, compensation, and succession planning on employee innovation performance. It aims to do so by using employee ambidexterity as a mediating variable. Data, which was elicited from 350 individuals who hold managerial positions in Bahraini firms through a survey, was analysed using a Smart PLS-SEM’s approach (measurement and structural model evaluation). The overall results indicate that employee ambidexterity mediates the relationships between selected HR practices and employee innovation performance. This implies that job design, training & development, compensation, and succession planning are significant drivers of employee innovation performance in the current, increasingly competitive environment. This could be enhanced through a concurrent pursuit of innovation using both explorative and exploitative activities that are carried out by the employees of the organisations (i.e., employee ambidexterity). Lastly, implications for theory and practice and suggestions for future studies were discussed. Pages 537 to 558

The Theme of Homelessness in Afro-American writings: The Quest of the Home in Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place

Mohammed Ilyas^a, ^aCollege of Science and Humanities, Alkharj, Prince Sattam bin Abdulaziz University, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Email: ^am.ebrahim@psau.edu.sa

Gloria Naylor’s The Women of Brewster Place appeared when the Harlem renaissance and Afro-Americanism had been established as mainstream genres. The novel portrays the deprived and Coloured sections of society. The residents of Brewster Place represent the lower class; primarily Black women who have come to Brewster Place in search of peace. They are constantly searching for home, both as a literal place to live and as a metaphorical state of mind. They share their struggles and make efforts to live in unity with compassion and consideration. They stick to Brewster Place as they find none to help out in the world. They narrate stories of narrow escapes from unfriendly and soul-destroying forces of their past. The novel also symbolises the failure of the American Dream, as characters weave dreams of macabre, dark and dismal visions; nightmares which any American would hate to come across in life. There are also instances of fractured relationships that further signify the characters’ quests to find home in a bewildering urban environment. Pages 559 to 572

DOI: 10.53333/IJICC2013/12650

Unsettled status leads employees to have desires to change their jobs. In the context of organisations, higher turnover intention has been a critical phenomenon, since further problems arise from it in companies. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the effects of job security on turnover intention with burnout as the mediator. This is causality research. The population consists of nurses of private hospitals in Surabaya, Indonesia. The respondents are 202 nurses. The data in this study was primarily obtained using questionnaires. The data was analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) and Sobel tests to determine the indirect effects. This study indicates that job insecurity affects turnover intention, job burnout, and burnout affected turnover intensions. A Sobel test determined that burnout could mediate the effect of job security on turnover intentions. The employees who experienced job insecurity tended to have higher levels of intention to leave the organisation. Moreover, burnout was found to be a mediating variable between job insecurity and intention to quit. Hence, increasing job insecurity encouraged higher levels of employee burnout, and subsequently increased the intention to find alternative employment. Pages 573 to 583
