Creativity and innovation in economic learning also need to be developed in an intrapreneurial-based culture. This study aims to investigate the interconnectedness between school principals’ intrapreneurial leadership and teacher Innovation, and examine the role of creativity and school culture of public high school teachers in Indonesia. This research was conducted using a survey method in three public high schools in Jakarta of Indonesia. A simple random sampling method was applied to identify the participants of this research, which comprised 100 teachers. Teacher innovation is measured through developing methods, strategy, services, and opportunities. Principal intrapreneurship is measured through leadership daring to take risks, providing opportunity, being proactive, and developing technology. The school culture variables are also measured in values, applicable norms, tradition, and confidence. The data followed validity and reliability analysis, and it was tested using multiple linear regression. The results of the study indicate that the principal’s intrapreneurial leadership and school culture positively affect teacher innovation, either partially or simultaneously. Therefore, for the development of teacher innovation, there is a need to develop principal’s Intrapreneurial Leadership with risk-related courage, as well as school culture on compliance with applicable norms in work organizations.","PeriodicalId":36807,"journal":{"name":"Humanities and Social Sciences Letters","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77452440","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 study surveyed 106 administrators, teachers, and students from secondary schools in Dien Bien province, Vietnam, using three questionnaires designed to measure perception, evaluation, and factors influencing educational activities to prevent child marriage and consanguineous marriage. To examine data, a descriptive analysis was performed. The results indicate that the administrators, teachers, and students of secondary schools for ethnic minority affairs have an average understanding of the role of educational activities in preventing child marriage and consanguineous marriage. In secondary schools for ethnic minority affairs, administrators, teachers, and students lack a strong understanding of the role of educational activities in preventing child marriage and consanguineous marriage; many students and teachers are indifferent to programs for preventing child and consanguineous marriage.

The methodology of study assessed the degree of competition among nine national Kuwaiti banks using the Panzar and Rosse model, or the H statistic approach. The study assessed how close the banking sector in Kuwait is to perfect competition. It built a model for the revenues of the banking sector in Kuwait. The model considered various specifications that affect the banking sector’s performance like revenues, risk, deposits, and bank size. In addition, this study analyzed the major factors affecting this sector’s performance. Using the panel data methodology of estimation, the results revealed that the market structure for the banking sector in Kuwait is close to monopolistic competition. Though the banking sector in Kuwait is still in its development stages, the results provided a signal to policy makers regarding their policies.

The methodology for this study used Ordinary Least Square (OLS) method which, after applying the necessary diagnostic tests, was verified as the appropriate method. The main result of this paper shows that the COVID-19 pandemic reduced the trade balance, as expected. However, this result is statistically insignificant since the pandemic would improve the growth of the trade balance (TD) from the imports side but would worsen it from the exports side. The results also found that foreign investment was significant in affecting the trade balance. The implication of these results is that the Jordanian economy is vulnerable to outside shocks due to its openness.
