As such, the quest for service delivery has prompted the need for leaders at different levels, from the apex national government level to the lowest local government level, to exercise good governance. In the year 2021, over 5 464 complaints of poor service delivery were recorded in South Africa and of 257 South African municipalities, only 16 were in stable condition. However, there are limited previous studies on the relationship between good governance and service delivery. In pursuit of economic development, the purpose of this paper is to investigate good governance and show its spectre of relevance to service delivery with a view to providing lessons to South Africa. The paper dovetails with good governance and service delivery exercised in various developed countries. The study utilised a literature research approach in which the researcher gathered textbooks, seminar and workshop papers, journal articles, and both local and international newspapers and websites. The paper gives the key findings of this study which are useful to the South African Government. The Government of South Africa should develop useful initiatives to support the improvement of service quality along with the existing tools and systems that promote smooth and effective public service delivery.","PeriodicalId":403893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Science and Humanities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128596304","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}

{"title":"The Effect of Work-Life Balance and Social Competence on the Psychological Well-Being of Public Service Employees","authors":"Chiyem Lucky Nwanzu, Sunday Samson Babalola","doi":"10.31098/ijmesh.v6i2.1287","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31098/ijmesh.v6i2.1287","url":null,"abstract":"The psychological well-being of the employees is well deserved, as it has numerous positive effects on organisational performance. This understanding calls for research that would identify plausible precursors of psychological well-being. The outcome of such research activities would provide guides for the positive manipulation of psychological well-being to enhance organisational functioning. Therefore, this study aims to investigate whether there is an association between work-life balance and employee psychological well-being and whether social competence plays a role in this relationship. One hundred and fifty employees aged 23 to 56 comprised 52% of men and 76% of married. The survey was self-administered, and the study was cross-sectional. Established scales on work-life balance, social competence, and psychological well-being were used in the study. The data were subjected to regression analysis based on PROCESS Macro. Given the findings, work-life balance and social competence have a favourable relationship with an employee's psychological well-being. In addition, social competence accounted for more variation in employee psychological well-being than work-life balance. According to interaction statistics, social competence moderates the connection between work-life balance and psychological well-being. The findings indicate that the psychological well-being of employees is improved by work-life balance and social competence.","PeriodicalId":403893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Science and Humanities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122839177","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}

Thus, there has been a concerted effort by the government and other stakeholders to address this perennial challenge. Owing to its enormous growth opportunities, agriculture is considered a strategic sector for addressing Nigeria's problem of youth unemployment. However, the lack of youth participation has hampered the growth of the sector. This study investigated the dynamics of agripreneurship perception and intention in order to provide insight to policymakers on how best to develop the agricultural sector and tackle youth unemployment through the engagement of young people in the sector. It also explored agricultural entrepreneurship as a valuable function for young people in Nigeria. A sample of 1,013 recent young graduates took part in this study, which engaged both quantitative and qualitative methodologies. The quantitative analysis was conducted using linear regression and multinomial response models. Additionally, Sen’s capability approach was used as the work’s theoretical framework. The results established that Nigerian youths display a positive perception and intention towards agripreneurship engagement. It also found that participation in entrepreneurship programs, course of study, family income, perceived availability of markets, and infrastructural facilities are determinants of youth’s agripreneurship perception and intention. On the other hand, the study found that the freedom to control one’s time, the expression of one’s passion, and the need to eradicate poverty are reasons young Nigerians value agripreneurship. This study serves as the debut of research endeavours that theoretically evaluate agripreneurship undertakings as valuable functionings using the capability approach. Furthermore, by examining factors that affect agripreneurship perception and intention, the study offers fresh policy insights for youth entrepreneurship and employment creation in the agricultural sector.","PeriodicalId":403893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Science and Humanities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132505510","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 aims to advance knowledge on agile transformation to help companies become faster, more flexible, and more responsive. The study employs a bibliometric approach to analyze 116 \"Agile Transformation\" papers published in the Scopus database over the past 20 years. The findings indicate an increasing number of publications in recent years, with the United States, Finland, and Germany being the top countries. However, the research connections are not yet consolidated, as only 22 authors out of 282 have co-authored papers. The research has also been mainly focused on software development and IT companies, using case studies, grounded theory, and surveys. The study reveals that the major research hotspots in the agile transformation are agile transformation, software development, software design, agile methods, agile transition, and agile adoption. The grand theories emerging in the Agile Transformation revolution emphasize the importance of collaboration, communication, continuous improvement, and customer value. Overall, this study provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of research on agile transformation and offers insights for future research. The findings highlight the need for greater research diversity beyond software development and IT companies and an opportunity to use action research and ethnography strategies to understand agile transformation. Ultimately, this study contributes to the advancement of knowledge on agile transformation and its role in improving organizational performance.","PeriodicalId":403893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Science and Humanities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116892322","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}

Nevertheless, it could bounce back its performance quickly right after. The question remains whether new ways of working take part in this agile behavior of manufacturing employees in adapting to such a situation. Even so, what kind of new ways of working could be implemented in manufacturing since this sector has a specific processing system from input to output? Implementing new ways of working practices in manufacturing varies since manufacturing has primary and support activities. First, this paper elaborates on the definition of new ways of working and the feasible practices that could be implemented in manufacturing. They are ICT, flexible work time, flexible workplace, and professional autonomy. Second, this paper uses the triadic reciprocal of social cognitive theory to find the relevance of new ways of working and workforce agility. Furthermore, psychological empowerment plays an important part in implementing new ways of working regarding employee sustainability as a human being who needs intrinsic motivation. The authors conclude with the proposed model that depicts the relevance between new ways of working practices, psychological empowerment, and workforce agility. This study also provides managerial implications in implementing new ways of working in the manufacturing sector.","PeriodicalId":403893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Science and Humanities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128450853","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}

However, there was still no study that identified the degree of mediation role of mental health in the relationship between organizational support and work performance; hence this study mainly aimed to investigate whether it was partial or full mediation. We conducted a cross-sectional, quantitative analytical study on nurses of the Covid-19 referral hospital in Jakarta. We used an adapted questionnaire on 127 nurses, validated and analyzed with path analysis. This study found that there was a significant effect of organizational support on work performance both directly and indirectly via mental health. It was proven that mental health mediates the relation of organizational support with work performance. The mediation that occurred was partial mediation. From this result, besides giving the best possible support, the hospital also needs to focus on nurses' and other health workers' mental health, as organizational support will affect work performance better when mental health is in a good state.","PeriodicalId":403893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Science and Humanities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127387184","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}

{"title":"Taste Perception from Jamu Drinks Color for Younger Generation by using Photo Products","authors":"Andreas Kurniawan, Y. Piliang, Agung Eko Budiwaspada","doi":"10.31098/ijmesh.v6i1.1338","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31098/ijmesh.v6i1.1338","url":null,"abstract":"Jamu is a traditional herbal drink from Indonesia that has been inherited from generation to generation. Jamu drinks have a variety of recipes since their ingredients are derived from a combination of typical Indonesian spices that can be obtained in local markets. Previously, jamu was frequently associated with a bitter taste, but due to improvements and innovations, it may now adapt to the preferences of the younger generation. Moreover, modification of a recipe's look involving different hues may cause consumers to speculate about its taste. This study examines taste perception from the Indonesian traditional herbal drinks \"jamu\" color for the younger generation by using photo products image. The research method was conducted through experimentation by using a questionnaire and forum discussion in 2 phases on 111 visual communication students with an average age of 21.7 years. Results: white, red, blue, and yellow colors were preferred by the majority of participants, followed by orange and brownish-red colors, which were still mostly acceptable. However, brown and green were perceived as the colors that participants disliked the most. Based on the result of this experiment, it can be concluded that human perception of color and taste can also be applied to traditional herbal medicine; this result supports the innovative exploration of jamu recipes that can adapt to the tastes of the younger generation. The result of this study shows that perception is influenced by previous experience; several times, the data showed significantly that colors such as milk or common fruit juice would be perceived the same as the taste of jamu. Furthermore, these findings strengthen various previous studies that the color will be able to make humans perceive its taste; although sometimes the perception is wrong, it can be used as an important reference for industries. In addition, the results of this study also show that the perception of color can be done without the need to see the product directly.","PeriodicalId":403893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Science and Humanities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116172071","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 used a qualitative approach. Data was collected through interviews with teachers of autistic students in Special Schools. This research was conducted in 3 (three) special schools in Solo Raya, Indonesia: SLB A, SLB B, and SLB C. The subjects in this study were three teachers of autistic students. The research instrument used interviews with teachers regarding sexual health education issues and the need for instructional media to teach sexual education. The results of the study show that there was a main problem regarding teaching sexual education for autistic students; teachers with autistic adolescents experience confusion in teaching sexual education for autistic adolescents because there are no props or media that are suitable for autistic characteristics. Autism students more easily accept learning using visual-based media. This research's limitation is the sample, which only uses a small sample. This research was only conducted on teachers of autistic students in the Special Schools setting. Based on previous research on sexual education aimed at students with disabilities in general, the novelty of this study is to describe the problems of sexual education in autism students in the adolescent age category.","PeriodicalId":403893,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Management, Entrepreneurship, Social Science and Humanities","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116034375","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}
