The research objectives include profiling the students participating in the program, assessing employer evaluations of students’ performance, gathering feedback from students, examining the relationships between grades, employer ratings, and student feedback, and exploring the relationship between employer ratings and students’ performance. The study utilizes a descriptive research design and collects data through records, employer ratings, student feedback questionnaires, and surveys. Data analysis involves descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that the majority of students are female, with a high percentage of students aged 21. Students generally perform well, with excellent attendance and punctuality. Employer evaluations indicate excellent performance in attendance, punctuality, performance, and general attitude. Students provide positive feedback, highlighting alignment with their field, challenging experiences, and positive working relationships. Correlation analysis shows no significant relationship between grades and employer ratings or student feedback. However, moderate positive relationships exist between grades and attendance, punctuality, performance, and general attitude. The study concludes that the practicum program effectively prepares students for the office administration sector, but recommends further focus on gender equality, career development, industry partnerships, continuous improvement, and feedback mechanisms. The findings contribute to enhancing the program’s curriculum and support systems, ultimately improving student outcomes and employer satisfaction.","PeriodicalId":515961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Leadership and Management","volume":"2 11","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140441645","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}

By utilizing a mixed-method research approach, including both online surveys and in-depth interviews, with a diverse sample of 150 participants aged 18 to 25, the findings reveal a spectrum of influences on young adults’ purchasing decisions. It was observed that the authors’ names often relied on recommendations from friends and acquaintances they connected with through these platforms when making purchasing decisions. Additionally, positive consumer reviews and positive endorsements shared on social media platforms were influential in motivating young adults to consider specific products or services. Conversely, there were instances of negative impacts on shopping behavior. Participants reported experiencing social comparison, whereby they felt compelled to align their purchases with the trends and preferences of their peers on social media. This peer-induced pressure sometimes led to impulsive buying decisions, driven more by the desire to conform rather than genuine personal preferences. The study revealed a complex interplay of both positive and negative influences. While social media and online networking could provide valuable information and foster social interactions related to shopping, they also posed challenges related to impulse buying, overspending, and dissatisfaction with purchases.The research emphasizes the increasing significance of social media as a platform for consumer engagement. Participants actively engaged with brands and businesses through social media channels, seeking product information, discounts, and exclusive promotions.Given the prevalence of impulse buying and overspending observed, educational initiatives to enhance financial literacy among young adults could prove beneficial. Empowering them with the skills to make informed purchasing decisions may mitigate the adverse effects of impulsive shopping behaviors.As businesses increasingly tap into social media influence, ethical considerations emerge. Transparency in advertising and responsible marketing practices should be upheld to maintain consumer trust and credibility.","PeriodicalId":515961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Leadership and Management","volume":"37 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140440175","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}

It is no longer the same as the inheritance that was declared to the next successor. This fact certainly applies to Christian stewardship. Recognizing the contents of the inheritance and how to transfer it to the successors of stewardship can be studied from Paul’s letter to the Corinthians. His first letters are in chapters 11 and 15. Through several textual approaches and developing the results of these approaches, three important words are found regarding the true heritage: parelabon, paradoka and paradosis. Concretely for the development of faith in adults in the articulation of didaskalia and pedagogy is rooted in those three words that Paul mentioned in the middle of the congregation.

This study looks at how universities prepare students for work and what can be done to improve the process. Using a mixed method approach involving a survey of university students’ opinions, a focus group of hiring managers interviews, and interviews with lecturers, a holistic view is achieved from the main stakeholders. The stakeholders show significant dissonance among expectations. These differences stem from many sources, mainly, the lack of shared and open information. Students enter university without a clear goal or a realistic informed prospectus. Lecturers try to bridge the gap between what is expected to be delivered and what industry needs. However, lecturers are working against a tide of reluctance from students’ aptitude and abilities, faculty realities and fractured industries that do not share. Human resources personnel seem not to have a clear idea of what is expected from graduates, especially in a dynamic environment. What employers want varies widely, making training difficult. Even when students enter the workforce with the creative energies required, the established systems stifle growth. Having greater interaction among the parties would help reduce the differences in expectations. The interactions need to be continual throughout the students’ time at university. Flexible programs and more internships would allow students to better understand how what is taught can be applied. Lecturers would have access to more relevant data and with class discussions being more informed. Companies can structure onboarding programs better as students would have experienced an introductory phase. More exchanges among stakeholders are required.","PeriodicalId":515961,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Business Leadership and Management","volume":"26 17","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140441814","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}
