There are some food products that can only be marketed in a specific regions in Indonesia, one of factors to the existing of region parts in marketing products is their religious difference in which it was classified into Muslim and non-Muslim Indonesians. The circulation of products in a specific region of non-Muslim in Indonesia is not restricted on the types of distributable products. Unlike the region inhabited by Muslim population, only products with halal certainty are circulatabcan be circulated, since Muslims consume only halal food products in the first place, (Eri Agustian H., 2013).According to (Rangkuti, 2009), nowadays food consumers have a critical attitude in the selection of the products consumed. This is due to the problems frequently encountered that concern with the quality and safety of food products. To fulfill the demands of critical consumers, manufacturers provide labels they have earned from the institutions with authority on the packaging of products they marketed. One of the labels embedded in product packaging is halal. Halal label greatly affect the good or service marketed, thus it can be accepted by Muslim community, and attract them to make decisions in the purchase of products (Eri Agustian H., 2013). In addition, another label should be a concern for companies or organizations in marketing their products in Indonesia the one provided by department of health which shows that the product is at a level safe for consumption for consumers. Both labels are very important to pin up in the product to attract consumers making purchases on the product, (Fatmasari, 2014).Muslim needs to be extremely careful in checking the halal label and the permission label by the department of health on both goods and services. Sometimes the labels are only pinned up to a product with a very small size so it cannot be seen at a glance, and it has been found a lot of products with no halal label and permission label by the department of health that circulate freely around us, so that the Muslim as consumers should have their own initiative to care on the suitability and health of goods or services they want to consume.Consuming halal and healthy products is recommended by Islam and it is a reference of life for Muslim to carry out the religious orders in their daily life, particularly for things they will consume (Mohani Abdul, 2009). For consuming goods or services that are not allowed and unhealthy considered as a rejection toward the religious orders, in which such denial will have an impact on the actions that could be classified sinful. The act of sin is something that must be avoided by Muslims, so that the Muslim are only made compu","PeriodicalId":243104,"journal":{"name":"Researchers World","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115949052","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}

Simultaneously, many parties encourage and acknowledge that the village has a large role for the city and the integrity of the nation (Komppula, 2015). The government seriously has launched a variety of rural development programs, such as the program areas of food, underdeveloped villages instruction program, integrated development between villages program, command movement prospered program, guidance mass, the intensification of the mass, particular intensification, the provision of assistance credit farming program, and Master Card effort people to improve livelihoods of our people (Trisaktiyana, 2016). However, still, to this day, many villages remain undeveloped, underdeveloped and poor. (Tampubolon, 2016).Poverty leads to unrest social economics through various ways such as (1) increase the burden of the government and the surrounding community, (2) poor quality and productivity of society, (3) low community participation, (4) the emergence of communities with violence, (5) the decrease of public order and public tranquility and (6) the decline in the quality of future generations, and on the other (7) accretion of new labor force naturally adds to the long line of open unemployment. Therefore, it is natural that rural economic development becomes a top priority in the plans, strategies and policy to break the chain of poverty and unemployment in rural areas.For creating a dual effect on employment opportunities and welfare, it is necessary to develop village-based containers. Every village has a potential to increase its independence. Thought for the formation of selfsufficient villages starting from the village's ability to meet people needs and has an abundance of production to be marketed at the local, regional, national or international (Kamat, 2012)Model OVOD (One Village One Destination) is an approach to rural development potential to produce tourism products that can compete on the international market, while still having a unique characteristic of the area. The resulting product is a product that uses local resources, both natural resources, and human resources (Larasati and Susanto, 2014) that fully involves the participation of rural communities by increasing the capacity of communities; (1) increase sustainable quality resource management, (2) increase availability of goods and services to maximize their resources in a sustainable manner; (3) improve the distribution and access to goods and services produced by the public; (4) improve the quality of goods and services; and (5) will ultimately improve the quality of life (Trisaktiyana, 2016).

Irrespective of gender both men and women have become part of economic development. It promises a blistering pace of growth in the productivity of each and every sector. Women's empowerment has become a significant topic of discussion on development economics. Women's empowerment shows the ability of women to contribute to the economic development and enjoy the rights to control and benefit from all resources. The role of women is the key to the overall development and growth of any country. It is the time to look around their comforts, their satisfaction, feelings, emotions and commitments because the negative result of all these factors leads to employee turnover and it will adversely affect the performance of the organization. Their Commitment and satisfaction are very much important for overall development of an entity. The practice of leaving a job can be observed regularly in all the organization due to several reasons. There is considerable evidence that money is often not the main reason behind employee turnover, even though it is one among the several factors for employee turnover. Keeping employees satisfied and ensuring their commitment is one of the key ingredients for the growth of an organization. The present study focuses on the effect of organizational commitment and job satisfaction on turnover of female conductors in KSRTC.KSRTC is a passenger transport corporation, providing bus services in Kerala and to neighbouring states Tamilnadu and Bengaluru. It was established by the Government of Kerala in 1965. It is high time that the Corporation as a whole has remittance supporting it in a big way. The earlier dependence on financial supporting from the central and state government has reduced. Even though the remarkable performance of the employees would have resurrected the Corporation to a great extent. Therefore, ensuring the smooth functioning of the Corporation, the investigation about the organizational attitude of the employees is needed. In the 21st century the role of women seems to have in various working fields. The role of the women as a conductor in transport vehicle is one among them. Even though KSRTC was started with male dominance, the decision to open the gateway to women force has become a history in 1990. In KSRTC, female employees show their presence in both administrative and operational workspaces. If we have a closer look at the gender balance in KSRTC, it shows that it is still male dominated. It is a fact that working women have to face certain challenges and problems by virtue of being a woman.

Sukatmadiredja, Andri Radiany","doi":"10.18843/RWJASC/V8I4/01","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.18843/RWJASC/V8I4/01","url":null,"abstract":"INTRODUCTION:The e-commerce market of Indonesia in 2014 reached USD 8 billion and will continue to increase to USD 24 billion in 2016 (Indonesian E-Commerce Association, 2016). But of the 88 million internet users only 27 percent shopping through e-commerce while the rest is using internet only for social activities (Statista, 2017). Why is that? The researchers stated that the Internet explosion made people euphoria so only used to exist, and interact with socialites in addition, too complicated sites and excessive advertising at the expense of content and lack of understanding of the target audience makes consumers, sometimes reluctant to try it (Burke, 1997; Crockett, 2000; Mitchell, 2000; Overby & Lee, 2006). Cowless et al. (2002) states that the motivation or desired value becomes the consideration for consumers. Consumers make a purchase again because of superior value with an attractive website design (Woodruff, 1997; Overby & Lee, 2006; Yoo et al. 2010). Many offline research states that the perception of value has been shown to influence choice, satisfaction, and loyalty (Cronin et al. 2000), while for online, it began to appear in some marketing research. However, there are still many questions as to whether the perception of customer value is different in the context of online shopping and, if any, to what extent the perception of values is affecting the preference and intent of online shopping. On the other hand, the relationship of value perception to the choice and intention of buying via online also depends on the frequency of consumers shopping through e-commerce (Evans et al. 2001; Liang & Huang, 1998).The main purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of interactive factors and flexibility on the perception of value, as well as the level of satisfaction for e-customer. This study contributes to the literature for previous research by examining the effects of utilitarian value perceptions, hedonic values on preference and purchase intentions and shopper frequency moderation in the context of e-commerce (Overby & Lee, 2006; Chitturi et al. 2008; Childers et al. 2001; Yoo et al. 2010).THEORETICAL BACKGROUND AND HYPOTHESIS DEVELOPMENT:In order to examine the relationship between the perception of value via online we must understand the concept of value and its dimension. Previous research addresses values as merely a trade-off between quality and price or benefits and sacrifices (Cottet & Lichetle, 2006; Bolton & Drew, 1991). Other dimensions of value that scientists and managers must consider are hedonic and utilitarian values (Bolton & Drew, 1991; Grewal et al. 2003; Holbrook, 1994). These two dimensions of value seem to be the most universal (Babin et al. 1994; Babin & Darden 1995; Sheth, 1983).Utilitarian value:The utilitarian value comes from a conscious effort to achieve the desired result (Babin & Darden 1995; Babin et al. 1994). This value is instrumental, functional, and cognitive and represents customer value as a ","PeriodicalId":243104,"journal":{"name":"Researchers World","volume":"318 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115349169","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 discussion on livelihood gained public recognition in research, academic as well as in planning. Generally, livelihood concern as how people make living, by making enough food on the table, fulfills basic necessity for a good life like shelter, clothing etc. But theoretically, it means gaining a living through the capability, activities and assets. A livelihood is socially and environmentally sustainable which can cope with and recover from stress and shocks, maintains and enhance it capability and assets and provide sustainable livelihood opportunity for the next generation and which contributes net benefit to other livelihoods at local and global levels and in the short and long term (Chambers and Conway, 1992). Ellis (2000) in his study highlight that natural, social, human, financial and physical capitals or assets, activities and access to these together three determined the individual or household livelihood (Mishra, 2009). Further Department for International Development (DFID) in his Sustainable Livelihood Framework guidance note suggests five foremost capitals to livelihood analysis and they are presented as assets pentagon. Chambers and Conway further divide assets and capitals into two types one is tangible assets and intangible assets. Intangible assets it includes resources and stores; like saving, credit, gold, jewelry, land, water, forest, tools, domestic assets, occupational assets, livestock etc and in intangible assets it includes claims and access; like demand and appeals for rights, issues etc. So, the individual or household livelihood is based on the maximum utilization of both the tangible and intangible capitals in their activities to satisfy their needs. The development of capitals in villages, communities, groups, households, and individuals, is not only responsibility of individual but also other stakeholders; like government and non-government organizations. As livelihood framework has been designed to address the issues faced by the rural and underdeveloped people. So, government, voluntary, nongovernment organizations and donor agencies have been continuously introducing different plan, policies and programs for the rural and disadvantage people like tribals for to make their livelihood sustainable. All stakeholders are engaging themselves in infrastructural, educational, occupational, social as such development for betterment these people.The livelihood structure and capital among the rural or disadvantaged people of India, particularly among tribals are largely confined to their socio-cultural, ecological and geographical settings.

The study employed the theory of Conversation Implicature supplemented by Halliday’s Interpersonal metafunction. The study reveals how the prosecution uses questions to indicate power dominance during court trials. Set of questions asked by the prosecution linguistically violates the maxim of relevance but the notion of implicature bridges the gap between what is being asked and the true meaning of the questions. The prosecution makes it even more difficult for the defendant by implying that the defendant violates maxims of quantity and manner by asking the witness questions that bring in more information at the same time irrelevant. This dominance in the court conversation may significantly affect the defence of the lay suspects since they have limited time to either build their case or attack the witness brought in court by the state. While such linguistic features used by court official serve a legal function, the outcome has a huge bearing on the laypersons who have no formal legal training. Findings of the study have huge implications in the field of law and linguistics.The study recommends that government should open up its legal system to its citizens. Aspects of legal language should also be integrated into Malawian school curricula so that the masses should be familiar with courtroom discourse, culture and its set-up, which are often times seen as strange and alien.","PeriodicalId":243104,"journal":{"name":"Researchers World","volume":"68 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123245335","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}
