This research examines the moderating effects of gender on the relationship between a patient’s intimacy and trust. This study used patients as sample who frequently visit the health care clinics (medical specialist).  A sample of 357 respondents were selected using convenience sampling. To examine the first hypothesis, a two-way Anova was used. To examine the second hypothesis, a simple regression was used. The results reveal that the influence of patient intimacy on trust between the male patients and female patients is different. The influence of patient intimacy on the trust in female patients is higher than that in male patients of the medical specialists. An important implication of our study is that the medical specialists need to increase their quality of communications and social interactions to their patients. Pages 1 to 16

This research is conducted to investigate the impact level of human resource management on financial performance of firms in Vietnam. Secondary data was collected from audited annual reports of large listed firms and primary data was gathered from sending questionnaires to big listed firms on the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange (HOSE). We ran a regression model for independent variables of human resource management and dependent variable of financial performance. Return on assets and profit before tax are proxied for financial performance. The results show that the sharing of information and authorisation in the governance system is an important determinant influencing the creativity of individuals and organisations. Therefore, large listed firms should proactively develop and implement policies on training and developing personnel skills; develop recruitment activities to ensure the most suitable input resources for firms; design a system to encourage personnel; and appropriate organisational structure to increase creative space for employees.

Hinduism and the Religious Identity of Southeast Asian Youth

Marina I. Romanova^a*, Sergey B. Zinkovskii^b, Konstantin G. Sokolovskiy^c, ^aPacific National University, Khabarovsk, Russian Federation, ^bPеоples’ Friendship University of Russia (RUDN University), Moscow, Russian Federation, ^cHumanitarian - technical academy, Kokshetau, Kazakhstan, Email: ^a*romanova.mari67@rambler.ru

Hinduism is a unique phenomenon that gave rise to many schools of thought and worldview systems. This is a religion of universal principles that gives its adherents free rein to search for the truth. The theological aspects of Hinduism are highly universal and allow anyone who believes and is ready to believe to find rationalising arguments. The article examines the flexibility of the Hindu canons, their plasticity with respect to the individual, the ability to gain one's own knowledge, as well as the ability to avoid fanatical observance of the religion tenets. The main distinguishing feature of Hinduism is its ability to adapt to living conditions, which makes the religion very popular and accessible. Hinduism does not condemn its followers; it merely regulates moral principles and creates a highly religious community. The results of the survey showed the main religious problems of the immigrants living in the United States. The materials of the article can help to develop the solution to the main problems that religious individuals face when they are outside their country, as well as to identify the factors influencing the youth’s self-identification. The study can also help to find out whether the transformation of religious identity should be resisted and considered as “scolding” the main tenets of Hinduism. The survey is an objective study of the psychological attitude and identity of Hindus as it involved different social groups. Pages 38 to 53

The paper explores the role of education in the formation of administrative culture. The objective of the research is to identify the attitude of civil servants to education in the context of shaping the administrative culture. The findings of empirical research in the educational practice (new curricula and disciplines, forms of teaching) and in the administrative activity helps to identify and solve pressing problems in the formation and implementation of new features of the administrative culture of civil servants of various ranks, of acting politicians, and of administrative managers. In the studying of administrative culture, we applied both, the latest and classic methods of research, such as the expert survey, in-depth interview, online-survey of respondents, scientific-practical developments on problems of education, science, politics and public administration, according to M. Weber. The research confirms that the educational process is determined by the values inherent in it. It is illustrated by the findings of surveys of civil servants from the national and local levels. The educational development strategy should be guided by the values available in society. Empirical research is measuring a correlation of educational process development. The Ukrainian experience may be of use to countries (especially in the former USSR area) that are reforming civil service by implementing changes into educational policy. The changes should be guided by the value imperatives of the educational process. This is the novelty of the research. Pages 54 to 66

Mahmoud Khaled Al-Kofahi^a*, Haslinda Hassan^b, Rosli Mohamad^c, ^a,b,cTunku Puteri Intan Safinaz School of Accountancy (TISSA), Universiti Utara Malaysia (UUM), Malaysia, Email: ^amkmkofahi@yahoo.com,  ^blynn@uum.edu.my,  ^croslim@uum.edu.my

The most significant topic for present researchers and scholars is Information Systems (IS) success. DeLone and McLean developed an IS success model and introduced it to provide a complete and extended definition of IS success. To-date, thousands of scholarly articles have cited the IS success model. However, despite this evident impact, only a few researchers have reviewed these studies. Hence, the purpose of this study is to perform a comprehensive literature review of past research papers that have utilised the IS success model as a theoretical foundation. Using the Scopus database, the review of literature is based on 114 scholarly articles and conference papers from the years 2012 to 2018. The analysis covers demographics, methodology, significance and limitations of association of the variables. The results show that developing countries are the major sources of the primary data; while, e-government, enterprise resources planning, and e-learning systems are the most examined systems. The review shows that the methodologies most used are survey and cross-sectional approaches. The analysis also indicates a lack of longitudinal work and use of homogeneous samples, as among the limitations highlighted by prior researchers. The results of this study will add to the extant knowledge of the past studies which have incorporated the IS success model. Pages 104 to 128

The concept of intellectual property rights has been initiated with western thoughts and accepted gradually in the eastern world, including in Indonesia. The aim of this paper is to explain about the affirmative action that the Indonesian government takes to accommodate the concept of intellectual property rights of the Tengger Adat people. Based on Article 18B paragraph (2) of the 1945 Indonesian Constitution and Article 27 paragraph (2) of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights it is implied that every person has a right to protection for his/her moral and material interests. Therefore, in making a policy intended to protect the knowledge of the Adat community, the Indonesian government should take into account four components, namely: (1) justice; (2) economics; (3) culture; and (4) social matters.

This research examined facework in Face Negotiation Theory (FNT) and its relation to conflict resolution in intercultural interactions between youth groups in Indonesia. Indonesia is a multiethnic society with a history of communalism. This study used a critical discourse analysis of interviews and works of literature on facework and forgiveness and friendship building between majority and minority cultures of Javanese and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) universitiy students in Solo, a city which is known to be the spirit of Javanese culture. The results showed that being able to forgive, as well as having the ability of self disclosure helps youths in establishing a friendship. This served as a foundation of a peace-building approach through FNT in creating harmony, understanding cultural differences and eliminating prejudice, especially in parties with cultural conflict history.

A Pinisi vessel is an original vessel of the Bugis and Makassar tribes in South Sulawesi. The boat is built by a panrita lopi (shipbuilder expert) without using modern ship-building technology. The research aims to find out the development prospect of the pinisi vessel industry. The data used in the research is obtained from key informants through in-depth and structured interview. The selected key informants consist of existing pinisi vessel owners and panrita lopi in the Bonto Bahari Sub-district, Bulukumba Regency. The data is then analysed using SwoT analysis. The analysis result indicates that the main strengths of the pinisi vessel industrial development are the designation of the vessel as an Intangible Cultural Heritage by Unesco and the expertise of the panrita lopi. Meanwhile, the weaknesses consist of capital limitation, business management, tools, and the marketing system. Business development opportunities of the pinisi vessel are increasingly better after the designation of the vessel as world cultural heritage by Unesco. It is indicated by the increase in government support as well as interest in marine tourism both from domestic and abroad. On the other hand, long-term timber material availability and the increase in competition in the shipping industry are among the challenges faced in pinisi vessel business development in the future.

The aim of this article is to present a perspective about the development of cultural tourism through tales and beliefs. A case study of the Katu tribe in Laos PDR was based on non-participatory observation, non-structured interviews, and the study of related documents and research. From the study on the development of cultural tourism through tales and beliefs, it was learnt that the Katu tribe in the New Kandon village, Xekong province, Laos PDR, had passed down tales and beliefs related to the birth of humanity through the story of “Ya Mek and Ma Teuk” (male dog) from generation to generation. The reason for this was to pass on the history of their people as well as to express their relationship to their birthplace and living place. However, today, the telling of the tale has been passed on to outsiders, tourists, and researchers in response to the curiosity about those people of the village leader. The function of the tale and beliefs of the past had changed along with the context of society. The tale-telling was used to create tourism opportunities for the community, which was one way to increase both the monetary and non-monetary value of the culture, the society, and the economy, both at the local level and the national level.

Internal Quality Assurance of Initial Teacher Education Programs in Vietnam: A Descriptive Study

Thanh Van Thai^a, Thu Hung Phan^b*, ^aNghe An Department of Education and Training, Vinh City, Vietnam, ^bVinh University, Vinh City, Vietnam, Email: ^athaivanthanhdhv@yahoo.com, ^b*thuph.vinhuni@gmail.com

This paper seeks to investigate the practices of internal quality assurance in teacher education programs across Vietnam. Survey questionnaires were administered to three groups of stakeholders: teachers/managers, student teachers/alumni, and employers from five teacher education programs. This was done to obtain appraisals of internal quality assurance practices related to their programs. The findings show that the programs have embraced quality assurance in their policies and practices in order to ensure that expected learning outcomes satisfy stakeholder needs. They also show that the program content, instruction, student assessment, staff, and supporting activities achieve the expected learning outcomes. However, the study also suggests that expected learning outcomes should better reflect school requirements and equip future teachers with more practical teaching skills required for effective teaching at schools. To this end, academic and professional components should be integrated and schools should be more involved in training future teachers. In general, it is recommended that quality assurance needs be geared toward improving quality rather than merely conforming to external standards. Pages 226 to 244

Chronological Analysis of Brand Trust: A Construct Proposition

Afif Zaerofi^a, ^aDepartment of Business Management, Faculty of Islamic Economics and Business Institut Agama Islam Tazkia, West Java, Indonesia, Email: ^aafif@tazkia.ac.id

The purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) to identify the conceptual development of brand trust and 2) to propose the construct of brand trust. To help with this issue, more than twenty papers discussing the concepts of brand trust are selected and examined. The papers are chronologically analysed according to decades. A descriptive qualitative approach is used in this research. Through literature investigation it is found that although sources have various conceptualisations, they refer to the same or a similar feelings: confidence, belief, reliability, and security. However, further analysis suggests the conceptualisation of brand trust has been evolving chronologically and can be categorised into three phases: before 1990, between 1991 and 2010, and after 2011. This study contributes to the conceptualisation of brand trust through a historical (chronological) approach. It is evidence that a constructed conceptualisation of brand trust is a time-specific reflection. Pages 299 to 309

This study aims to determine the social and cultural forces that construct the experiences of illegal Thai migrant workers to be so-called, “little ghosts”, working in South Korea. A multi-sited ethnography and content analysis were utilised in this study to display the complexity of the structural determinants driving the Thais from the rural villages to become illegal workers in South Korea. Those social and cultural forces include: (1) the marginalisation of the rural communities of the nation state’s development; (2) the cultural meaning of the workers in abroad as the “Phor Liang Nork” — the Thai dialect term means “the overseas millionaire”; (3) the inaccessibility to the government’s migrant worker employment system; and (4) normalisation of the “illegal workers”. The study suggests needing to limit the myth of social representation and blaming the victims towards the illegal workers, and to providing the support for reintegration. This includes labour market information, entrepreneurial training or overseas legal employment and life advice that would allow enhancing the skills and experience of illegal migrant workers.

Piloting the Uzbek Model of the European Language Portfolio: Preliminary Results

Khikmatullo Urazbaev^a, ^aWestminster International University in Tashkent,

This study presents the preliminary results of introducing the European Language Portfolio (ELP) to the pre-service English teacher training program courses in the higher education institutions in Uzbekistan. Despite the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) being introduced to the Uzbek education system in 2013, the teacher-centred approach to teaching continues to highly prevail in language classrooms. The aim of introducing the ELP was to suggest an alternative tool to foster learner autonomy, self-assessment and reflective thinking skills in ELP users. This move would shift towards a more learner-centred approach to teaching. The data was collected using survey and interview methods. The collected quantitative data was statistically analysed and interpreted. The findings suggest that the ELP was a totally new concept for students and they highly appreciated the opportunities offered by the ELP. When applied to pre-service English teacher training students, they identified its potential for use in their own teaching practices. Pages 353 to 365

Harry Wiyanto^a, Ma’ruf Akbar^b, Agung Dharmawan Buchdadi^c, ^aDoctoral Program, Human Resource Management, Jakarta State University, ^b,cLecturer, Jakarta State University, Indonesia,

The purpose of this research is to study employee engagement through transformational leadership and career development. Transformational leadership, career development, and employee engagement were assessed in an empirical study based on a sample of 138 permanent staff employees from four Provinces in Indonesia, working at a local beverage distributor company. The data gathered using a printed questionnaire was analysed through path analysis methods. The findings show there is a positive direct effect among transformational leadership to employee engagement, career development to employee engagement, transformational leadership to career development, and a positive indirect effect of transformational leadership to employee engagement through the mediating role of career development. The implication of the research is of the utmost importance for companies facing a high voluntary turnover and high absenteeism rates, in recent times. Transformational leaders in teams contribute to career development and employee engagement. Imparting transformational leadership training to the unit leader can help to strengthen employee engagement through career development. This study explores the role of transformational leadership on employee engagement through the mediating role of career development, which has not been explored theoretically and tested empirically at a beverage distributor company in Indonesia.

In the long run, sustainable business will be an important factor in determining the existence of companies. The study employs sustainability report disclosure (SR) as a proxy of sustainable business. LQ45 companies that have a sound financial performance, have enough resources to implement sustainable business. This research attempts to identify the antecedents of SR disclosure among LQ45 companies. The population of this research is all LQ45 companies which publish financial statements in three consecutive years. By using a purposive sampling, this research collects 135 data sources for further analysis. The average of SR disclosure is 16 per cent, with environmental performance achieving 1.3 out of a five-point scale. SR is significantly influenced by environmental performance and the board of directors (BoD). Leveraged negatively, while profitability is positive, influences the environmental performance. The BoDs’ concern on environmental performance, sustainable business, and leverage management still needs improving. Government and other related parties should facilitate these companies to implement better sustainable business. Pages 401 to 417

The purpose of the research is to identify the key principles of reforming the tax system in Ukraine. The study is based on general theoretical and scientific research methods. The analysis revealed that a radical tax reform is needed in order to restore the economy of the country. To reflate the economy, it is proposed to replace the value-added tax with a five per cent sales tax. It has been concluded that the basic corporate tax rate (or corporate income tax) should be 12.5 per cent. The mechanism for determining taxable profit is based on the financial statements with enhanced opportunities to use the accelerated method of depreciation, exemption from taxation and taxable profit paid according to the results of the previous reporting period, in order to reinvest profit in the taxpayer's business activities. It is also necessary to abolish the simplified tax system and to shift to corporate taxation, as well as to the taxation of private entrepreneurs at the rate of five per cent. Pages 418 to 431

The Impact of Oil Price Shocks on the Iraq Economy – a Case Study for the Period 1990-2018

This paper estimates the impact of external shocks, especially oil shocks, on major macroeconomic variables – Real Gross Domestic Product, Government Expenditure, Inflation rates and Unemployment Rates – in the Iraq economy with quarterly data covering the period Q1 1990 to Q4 2018. In this study we have used a restricted VAR model and Johansen Co-integration test and Impulse Response Functions to investigate the impact of oil price shocks on the Iraq economy. Our results indicate that despite the decline in oil revenues as a percentage of GDP to 28.6% in 2015 compared with 42.4% in 2014. This was not accompanied by a decrease in public expenditure, because a large part of government spending goes to the operational budget, which is characterised by a high stability as a result of the increase of government spending on military operations for the purpose of extending security stability. Therefore inflation rates have only slightly changed, as the money supply in the Iraqi economy has not changed despite the changes in oil prices. We believe this is due to the extensive size of the Operating Budget, which is relatively stable at the expense of the Capital Budget, 30% at best for the duration of the research. Pages 446 to 461
