This study employed a descriptive-correlational research design. Using total population sampling, 315 junior high school students were selected as respondents from one of the junior high school in New Bataan during the school year 2023-2024. Furthermore, this study employed two adapted survey questionnaires and the general average of the students during their third quarter; all validated to collect data and treated using mean, standard deviation, and Pearson-r. The findings showed that teachers’ interpersonal behavior and parental engagement among the students are very high, while their academic performance are very satisfactory. The results also revealed that teachers’ interpersonal behavior positively correlated with students’ academic performance and parental engagement negatively correlated with students’ academic performance. These results encourage teachers and parents to continue support and have a good relationship with the children to maintain a good academic performance of students. Furthermore, to improve the applicability of the results, it is imperative to carry out replication studies in various locales. This will validate the durability of these relationships beyond the present research setting and contribute to a more comprehensive comprehension of these issues.\u0000KEYWORDS: Teachers’ interpersonal behavior, parental engagement, student academic performance, junior high school students, descriptive-correlational design, pearson correlation coefficient, Davao de Oro, Philippines.","PeriodicalId":505883,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR)","volume":"33 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141644246","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":"ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND STAFF PERFORMANCE IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN BUKEDEA DISTRICT, EASTERN, UGANDA","authors":"Otwal John, Matovu Musa","doi":"10.36713/epra17656","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36713/epra17656","url":null,"abstract":"The study examined the relationship between organizational culture and staff performance in secondary schools in Bukedea District. The study adopted a cross-sectional survey design in which both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. The study objectives were as follows: to determine the relationship between teamwork and staff performance and to determine the relationship between innovation and staff performance in secondary schools in Bukedea District. A sample of 100 employees was selected from the population of 157 respondents. The study's primary informants included deputies, teachers, and head teachers. The sampling methods used included simple random for teachers and census sampling techniques for head teachers and deputies. After data collection, analysis, and presentation, it was established that there is a positive and moderate relationship between teamwork and staff performance, as represented by (r = .530, n = 100, p = 0.000< 0.05). It was noted that staff understand the common goal for their organization, and hence, when an organization sets out the goals, all workers are mandated to abide by them to improve their performance. Similarly, it is concluded that in organizations where staff know each other, every member becomes consistent in their work, and in such a situation, all staff recognize each other for the job well done and staff proactively meet each other’s needs by helping each other. In establishing the relationship between innovation and staff performance, it was found that there is a significant and moderate relationship between innovation and staff performance, represented by (r = .503, n = 100, p = 0.000< 0.05), It was noted that organizations with a strong culture of innovation are different in the marketplace and introduce innovations into products and processes to increase their performance. It is therefore concluded that organizational culture through teamwork and a culture of innovation play a tremendous role in staff performance, and hence secondary schools in Bukedea district need to embrace it for better results. It is therefore recommended that a dynamic and entrepreneurial organizational culture that can help staff stick their necks and take risks needs to be built; teamwork needs to be built and improved; more resources should be allocated to the staff members to make their work easy; and staff members should be encouraged to be innovative. Staff members enjoy working in an environment that encourages creative thinking and personal innovation.","PeriodicalId":505883,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR)","volume":"38 25","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141651067","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 also elaborates on how these experiences empower them, as well as how they cope with the challenges, they encounter in managing the school facilities during the in-person classes. The study was conducted in 14 public schools in Sto. Tomas East district, Division of Davao del Norte and there were fourteen participants who participated in this study that were selected through purposive sampling technique. Of these participants, ten were school heads who underwent in-depth interviews, and the remaining four school heads underwent focus group discussion. The data gathered were analyzed through thematic analysis. Results revealed four major themes in their experiences: lacking and damaged school facilities, struggling with insufficient financial resources, promoting shared responsibility in facilities, and maintaining school facilities. To respond to the challenges encountered, participants revealed four coping mechanisms: building strong connections and partnerships, planning in managing the utilization of school facilities, caring for school facility everyone’s responsibility, and establishing open communication. Lastly, they have cited four insights that can contribute to managing the school facilities. These include copy best practices in managing school facilities, provision of training on facility management, allocation of budget for repair and maintenance of school facilities, and collaboration with stakeholders. These insights were drawn from the interview of the participants when asked what their key takeaways from all their experiences and challenges were encountered as a school head managing school facilities during the in-person classes.\u0000KEYWORDS: education, managing school facilities, school heads, in-person classes, qualitative-phenomenological study, Sto.

Coal mining companies show a negative trend in the achievement of return on assets (ROA), especially in 2021 as the peak experienced. This is none other than due to the Covid-19 pandemic that is spreading and has resulted in many company sectors experiencing setbacks due to the regional restrictions imposed. This implies that the majority of companies fail to achieve maximum return on assets but many companies experience losses in 2021. This study aims to determine the effect of operational efficiency, working capital turnover, and asset turnover on the rate of return on assets of coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2018-2022. The method used in this study is panel data regression which combines time series data, namely 2018-2022 and cross section data in the form of 16 companies, then classical assumption tests and hypothesis testing are carried out. The results of this study indicate that operational efficiency (BOPO) has a significant negative effect on the rate of return on assets (ROA). While working capital turnover (WCTO) and total asset turnover (TATO) have a significant positive effect on the rate of return on assets (ROA).\u0000KEYWORDS: Operational Efficiency (BOPO), Working Capital Turnover (WCTO), Total Asset Turnover (TATO), Return on Assets (ROA).","PeriodicalId":505883,"journal":{"name":"EPRA International Journal of Multidisciplinary Research (IJMR)","volume":"50 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141652070","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}
