This study was carried out in Bangkok's full-service restaurant context. Data were collected from 414 restaurant employees, accounting for an 82.80% response rate. A partial least squares structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was used for data analysis, and the Sobel test and bootstrapping were used to test mediating effects. The results showed that mindfulness empirically promotes employee creativity (β = 0.093; p = 0.028). Also, according to the PLS-SEM and Sobel test, confirmed by bootstrapping results, interpersonal trust (t = 3.216, p = 0.001) and knowledge sharing (t = 3.053, p = 0.002) can partially mediate the relationship. The results also revealed a positive partial mediation of knowledge sharing between interpersonal trust and employee creativity (t = 9.875, p < 0.001). These results contribute up-to-date and new knowledge in the related literature by supporting and advancing previous research, particularly the benefits of mindfulness, antecedents to employee creativity, and expansions to the social capital theory. This research implies that developing mindfulness in employees could play a beneficial role in improving their relationships with others, resulting in the promotion of their work creativity. In addition, the results provided valuable guidelines for restaurant management to promote employee creativity for sustainable business viability.","PeriodicalId":36474,"journal":{"name":"Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Studies","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141830757","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}

Prevailing contemporary western and horror hybrid texts, such as and Bone Tomahawk (2015) adhere to traditional male-centred American myths that re-inform genre codes and conventions supporting patriarchal power. Female-centered western/horror hybrid narratives, such as The Witch (2015), Brimstone (2016), Mohawk (2017), and Prey (2022) move issues of female representation into lesser-explored territory, but, when read through a post-feminist lens, do not fully realize the fruitful craft potential that, as I will argue, genre hybridity and post-feminist screenwriting generates. That said, using Mohawk, as a detailed case study, I will analyze how post-feminism successfully informs the narrative and character construction, to advance female representation in mixed-genre form. In addition, this article proposes and explores a new approach to ‘writing’ strong female characters: one that expands the limits of power beyond the boundaries of the existing western/horror storytelling.","PeriodicalId":36474,"journal":{"name":"Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Studies","volume":"103 34","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141362729","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}

Through a case study of a CBT destination in Kok Sathon, Thailand, a mixed-method research approach was utilized, combining qualitative and quantitative methods. The study incorporated a literature review, field surveys, interviews with 35 key informants, and questionnaires administered to 400 tourists. The findings reveal that waste in the CBT management process manifested in nine categories: non-participation/non-community involvement; lack of identity/storytelling; unclear communication; overproduction/over-processing; waiting/delay; transportation/motion; non-organization and management; defects; and tourism marketing. Following the implementation of improvements, a reduction in staff activities was observed by 33.33% and service process time by 5.61%. The research not only provides empirical evidence of waste in CBT supply chain management but also demonstrates the impact of applying lean principles to address inefficiencies. Furthermore, it offers insights into optimizing tourism resources in CBT operations and serves as a guide for enhancing efficiency in service organizations. This work introduces a new framework that challenges traditional compartmentalized problem-solving methods in tourism and emphasizes the importance of every step in the process—from inception to conclusion—to enhance understanding of the root causes of issues and facilitate necessary changes. These reductions in waste are directly aligned with the values desired by tourists, indicating a successful alignment of operational improvements with tourist expectations.","PeriodicalId":36474,"journal":{"name":"Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Studies","volume":" 36","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141365004","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}

This descriptive study highlights the core area of human life with respect to sadism and orthodoxy from the content of the play. The content has been undertaken to investigate, decipher and evaluate with reference to Freudian viewpoint in order to open up people's enormous job of making sadism issue within society through pushing them to choke themselves in specific manners.

But migrant remittance has become an important part of the strategy for rural households to cope with negative environmental consequences through reduction in vulnerability to climate variability, improvement in livelihood and expansion in production. An empirical study to measure the impact of migrant remittances on small holder agricultural production was conducted. Through the multistage sampling technique, 120 smallholder farmers were selected and data were collected using questionnaire. Multiple regression analysis based on Cobb-Douglas production function was used to determine the impact of migrant remittance on agricultural production. Result of the analysis revealed that the most critical factors which positively and significantly (p<0.05) influenced the output of remittance receiving households were education, experience, farm size and labour. Findings also showed that the same covariates also influence output of non-remittance receiving households. Policies to increase the inflow of remittances to poorer households engaging in agricultural production would be a rational decision.","PeriodicalId":36474,"journal":{"name":"Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Studies","volume":"77 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72890223","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}

Floods are the most common of all the natural hazards. Physical, social, economic and environmental vulnerabilities make the developing countries more susceptible to disasters as compared to the developed countries which have great sources and resources to cope with any disastrous situation. Pakistan is one of the most flood prone countries of South Asia and a number of floods have caused significant damage and loss both physically and economically particularly during the floods of 1950, 1992, 1998, 2010, 2011 and 2014.Theses floods are primarily caused by the heavy monsoon rainfalls accompanied by snow melting in the northern mountainous areas of the country. Among all the provinces, Punjab is most prone to floods and faces great damage and loss because it is the home of more than half of the country’s population. As it is densely populated, so the destruction here is more than other provinces. Besides, Punjab’s geographic location and climatic conditions make it more vulnerable to monsoon floods. Primary data from a field survey of the case study area through a questionnaire was obtained while the related secondary data was derived from different published government’s reports, journals and already done work related to the topic. For graphical representation of work done, simple statistical techniques attributed with descriptive research were followed. This research is aimed to have an inner look into the structures and functions of the institutes which are working to combat the effects of floods in Pakistan. The main purpose of this study is to find out the plans and strategies of different institutions to combat the effects of floods.","PeriodicalId":36474,"journal":{"name":"Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences Studies","volume":"70 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90747133","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}
