Moreover, explore the mediating role of brand evangelism between brand community engagement and brand defense. The data was collected using quantitative research through an online questionnaire-based survey from 217 active members of certain social media brand communities (SMBCs) which are Facebook and Whatsapp. I chose them because they provide similar functionality. The data was analyzed by using regression analysis. Facebook; for example, adopting instant messaging (IM) features similar to those found in Whatsapp however, the two tools of social media provide different social practices, resulting in different user experiences with the same functionality. Thus, the current research adapted these two tools to add richness to data collection. Respondents are a variety of university students and more than 50 different occupations. The data was analyzed by using multiple regression analysis. The research findings provide a comprehensive analysis of user perceptions and engagement within an entertainment platform across eight dimensions. Users generally hold favorable opinions of the platform, with high ratings for entertainment and information, while self-discovery offers opportunities for improvement. Reliability analysis indicates strong internal consistency among measured items, enhancing data trustworthiness. The correlation matrix underscores significant relationships among dimensions, highlighting their interconnectedness. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin and Bartlett's Test supports data suitability. Communalities reveal variable significance through PCA. Regression analysis demonstrates the model's effectiveness in explaining engagement variance. Additionally, mediation analysis emphasizes the direct effects of engagement on brand defense, and the indirect one via brand evangelism, contributing to a deeper understanding of user experiences on the platform.","PeriodicalId":14221,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of scientific research and management","volume":"5 7","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136069209","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}

The Principal Instructional Management Rating Scale (PIMRS), developed by Hallinger and Murphy (1985) and modified by Hallinger and Wang (2015), served as the instrument for data collection through a questionnaire. A total of 392 teachers from schools in Male’, Maldives, were surveyed and data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0. The result of the study shows that all three dimensions of instructional leadership—\"defining the school mission\" (mean 4.05), \"managing the instructional program\" (mean 3.94), and \"developing a positive school learning climate\" (mean 3.72)—have reached a high level in practice. The study shows that the three best practices of principals in instructional leadership are to effectively communicate the school's mission to members of the school community (dimension 'Defining the School's Mission', mean 4.12), to clarify who is responsible for coordinating the curriculum across grade levels (dimension 'Managing the Instructional Program', mean 4.29), and to encourage teachers to use class time to teach and practice new skills and concepts (dimension 'Developing a Positive School Climate', mean 4.10).

Teacher Performance Assessment is an assessment of each item of the teacher's main task activities in the context of career development, rank, and position. The implementation of a teacher's main duties cannot be separated from a teacher's ability to master knowledge, skills, and attitudes in carrying out their duties as a professional educator. To improve teacher performance, research is needed to obtain good information regarding other variables that can be used to improve teacher performance. This research aims to make efforts to improve teacher performance by researching the influence of teamwork, interpersonal communication, adversity quotient, and work motivation. This research uses the path analysis method to determine the influence between the variables studied and the SITOREM method for indicator analysis to obtain optimal solutions to improve teacher performance. The population of this study was 289 PGRI Vocational School teachers in Bogor Regency. A sample was taken from this population using the Slovin formula and a sample of 168 people was obtained. The results of the analysis using the path analysis method show that there is a positive influence between teamwork and teacher performance with a large effect of βz1 = 0.254 so that strengthening teamwork can improve teacher performance. There is a positive influence between adversity quotient and teacher performance with a large effect of βz2 = 0.179 so that the strengthening of interpersonal communication can improve teacher performance. There is a positive influence between interpersonal communication and teacher performance with a large effect of βz3 = 0.183 so strengthening the adversity quotient can improve teacher performance. There is a positive influence between work motivation and teacher performance with a large effect of βz4 = 0.292 so strengthening work motivation can improve teacher performance. From the SITOREM analysis, the optimal solution is obtained, namely from the 27 indicators studied 14 indicators are in good condition so these indicators only need to be maintained or developed, and 13 indicators are still weak and need to be improved. Improvements to indicators that are still weak are complemented by a priority order for their handling. Good indicators are: 1) Ownership, 2) Resilience, 3) Achievement, 4) Job attachment, 5) Good supervision, 6) Adequate rewards, 7) Trust, 8) Harmony, 9) Completeness, 10) Empathy, 11) Openness, 12) Positivity, 13) Work Productivity and 14) Quantity of Work Results Indicators that need to be improved in order of priority for handling are as follows: 1st Control, 2nd Authenticity, 3rd Desire to get appreciation and recognition, 4 th Job Guarantee, 5 th Desire for power, 6 th Accountability, 7 th Group Goal Orientation, 8 th Coordination, 9 th Support, 10 th Equality, 11 th Quality of Work, 12 th Work Effectiveness, 13 th Work Efficiency.","PeriodicalId":14221,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of scientific research and management","volume":"77 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135616820","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}
