This research is the qualitative research by interviewing the community leaders, the Burmese, living in Tha Ma O community, Muang District, Lampang Province, and members of Tha Ma community. The research results reveal that living in Lampang Province is more prosperous in the socio-economic and quality of life than in their own country. This is the factor attracting the Burmese to decide to emigrate to live and work in Lampang Province because their country is underdeveloped with economic downturn and lack of quality of life. They need to immigrate to find work opportunities. In immigrating to find works of the Burmese, they also bring the culture and beliefs in their country into practice in Lampang. The cultural characteristics of the Burmese in Lampang are similar to people in Lampang such as Buddhism, worshipping the Buddha images, and going to the temple to make merit. Therefore, those groups can adjust and learn about the culture of the local areas quickly as well as analyzing the adaptation processes for equally living under cultural differences. The Burmese can adapt their thoughts and behaviors to the environment, economic, and social changes from their own country in order to survive and to be able to live happily.","PeriodicalId":148797,"journal":{"name":"CSN: Culture (Topic)","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127973488","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}

Bakari, Ahmed Imran Hunjra","doi":"10.22547/BER/9.2.2","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.22547/BER/9.2.2","url":null,"abstract":"Authentic leadership is an emerging construct which has attracted scholars and practitioners alike due to the felt need of ethical climate in organizations among rising corporate scandals. Though considerable attempts have been made to further refine the construct by undertaking validation studies in different cultures, no study has reported validation of authentic leadership questionnaire in the Pakistani context. This study offers new contributions towards the validation of the authentic leadership questionnaire from Pakistani context and reports the results of confirmatory factor analysis, reliability, and construct validity by analyzing responses from three independent nationally representative samples (n=580). Such need has been felt by many authors to provide the evidence of validity in other cultures like Asia. Using structural equation modeling through AMOS, this study concludes that the authentic leadership questionnaire is a valid and reliable construct in the Pakistani culture too. The model fit indices indicate that the second order model of authentic leadership is more robust and preferable than the first order model and the composite factor. Positive impact of authentic leadership on championing and partial mediation of management support and affective commitment to change between authentic leadership and championing indicate predictive validity of authentic leadership questionnaire. Implications, limitations, and future recommendations are discussed.","PeriodicalId":148797,"journal":{"name":"CSN: Culture (Topic)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130228818","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}

Gatuyu","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2695355","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2695355","url":null,"abstract":"Kenya, though it has various education interventions from the state and non-state actors is faced with very low literacy levels. Many of the residents engage in casual labour and subsistence farming for survival. With this low level of literacy, many of the parents are not aware of good parenting practices for their children. The researcher thus intends to establish the effect of early socializations of children on their academic performance in school.The researcher chose case-study research design to carry out this research. The researcher selected her sample through the use of simple random sampling technique. Data was collected from the respondents through the use of questionnaires and interview schedules. Secondary data was collected by the use of document analysis. The data collected was analyzed and presented in frequency distribution tables, pie charts and bar graphs. Thematic paragraphs were used to present qualitative data.From the research conducted, it was established that the parents instill fear in their children by caning them among other forms of corporal punishment. There also is a relationship between early socialization and the academic performance of children in school. There are various agents that are used to socialize a child in the society including school, family church among others.The researcher recommends creating awareness among the parents, teachers and other stakeholders on the importance of early socialization of children among children. Government interventions are also recommended to solve the issue of poor socialization of children.","PeriodicalId":148797,"journal":{"name":"CSN: Culture (Topic)","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133487086","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}
