Alhaj, Ali Albashir Mohammed, Dina Ali Abdalla Ali, Majda Babiker Ahmed, and Eman Mahmoud Ibrahim Alian. "The Effects of Age Factor on Learning English Language: A Case Study of Sudanese Private and Public Secondary Schools in Khartoum State, Sudan." International Journal of Linguistics, Literature and Translation 3, no. 9 (September 30, 2020): 148–55. http://dx.doi.org/10.32996/ijllt.2020.3.9.16.
Full textAbstract:
The current paper aims at studying the age factor in Sudanese public schools and private schools where the starting age differs in both. Also, it aims at finding out whether the late or early starting of learning English language influences the learner's acquisition to language. Moreover, the study aims at showing the difference between learners of English language in private schools and learners in public schools. The tools used for data collection were questionnaire for EFL Sudanese teachers and a test for Sudanese secondary school students. The research was conducted with a total of 30 male students attending Sudanese public schools and private schools. By using the mixed-method research approaches, the findings revealed that most respondents agree that the early learners are better than late ones, that is to say that students of private schools who start learning English at an early age had better mastery of English than those of public-school students who start at a late age. Finally, the study recommended that investigating the effects of age factor on learning English language is a very important phenomenon and may apply in other countries such Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc. This study is the first of its kind to investigate the effects of age factor on learning English language, particularly, in the context of Arab countries.

Full textAbstract:
PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine a principal's knowledge of school law in Kuwait. It further aims to examine the relationship between a principal's knowledge of school law and other variables.Design/methodology/approachThe study employed a quantitative research paradigm. Data for this study, collected via survey, were collected from a sample of 369 public school principals.FindingsUsing descriptive and inferential statistical methods, the findings indicated that school principals have only limited knowledge about the legal rights of teachers and students. Furthermore, the results revealed a significant difference in knowledge of school law relative to a principal's gender, school level, years of experience, knowledge source and the number of completed school law training courses.Practical implicationsThe implications for professional development programs which prepare all school leaders to serve the needs of students’ and teachers’ rights are included.Originality/valueStudies showed that there is a lack of research regarding a principal's legal knowledge in the Arab countries. As such, this study examined a school principal's knowledge of school law in Kuwait and discussed the associated implications for principal professional development programs.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to validate the direction and strength of the relationships between school reputation, parental satisfaction and parental loyalty. Design/methodology/approach – The paper reports the findings of a survey of 806 parents from Schools in Abu Dhabi – the United Arab Emirates. The paper builds mainly on previous work of Skallerud (2011) on measurement of school reputations. Structural equation modelling was used to validate the reputation measure and to test the proposed relationships. The model hypothesised and tested relationships linking school reputation to parental satisfaction and loyalty. Findings – The results show strong support for a satisfaction-reputation-loyalty model and confirmed the four-dimensional scale (parental orientation, learning quality, safe environment and good teachers) for assessment of parent-based school reputation. Evidence was found that parents’ satisfaction significantly affects the four reputation dimensions. However, only three constructs of parent orientation affected parental perception of school loyalty. Additional personal or demographic variables should be included to improve the model. Research limitations/implications – The study was limited to parents of children attending public and private schools in Abu Dhabi. The model should be validated with other schools and in other Emirates and countries. Practical implications – Identifying the antecedents of parent-based school reputation might aid school decision makers to better address parental satisfaction and loyalty. A careful examination of the causal relations between the various constructs could aid in crafting and implementing effective programs for increasing parental satisfaction and attracting future students. Originality/value – The study adds to the limited body of research addressing the appropriate conceptualisation and measurement of school reputation. It also sheds light on a better understanding of the potential relationships among the constructs in the model.

Full textAbstract:
The paper explores the Islamic teachers’ perceptions of using questioning for improving Saudi high students’ schools learning engagement. The research conducted with a total of 150 male students attending Saudi high schools. By using the mixed-method research approaches, the researcher will collect the study data by survey and observation. Findings revealed that questioning fosters a sense of student competences and provides students with autonomy support. Also, it establishes positive teacher-student relationships and improves students high-ordered thinking. However, questioning sometimes supports class disruptions. Finally, the study recommended investigating perceptions of teachers in other disciplines, such as language arts, social science, English, and math toward using questioning in the classroom setting. Moreover, it is essential to students the effect of questioning on students learning acquisition, and learning achievement in Saudi high-schools. This study is among the first to investigate, particularly, the Islamic teachers in enhancing Saudi Secondary School Students' Learning Engagement in the context of Arab countries.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold. First, it examines the extent of equity in the academic achievement distribution by analyzing Israeli students’ high school matriculation scores, controlling for background characteristics (e.g. parental education) and for previous achievement. Second, it analyzes the trends in equity during the examined period from 2001 to 2011. Design/methodology/approach Nationwide extensive data sets, at the student level, of 11 cohorts are analyzed using logistic regression models. Findings Major findings reveal that the odds ratios (ORs) are in favor of students from families with a high level of parental education (an increment of one year of parental education increases the odds of student’s success by 3 percent). In addition, the ORs are less favorable for Arab students (30 percent lower). Furthermore, a high previous achievement level increases the odds of success (an increment of 1 percent in achievement increases the odds by 6 percent). In addition, the extent of inequity remains stable throughout the examined period. Originality/value Israel serves as an interesting case study, as its student achievement distribution in international examinations is characterized by the highest gap compared with other OECD countries, although its policy aspires to achieve equity. This puzzle, is the motivation for this study. Moreover, insights from this research might assist policy makers to promote equitable education.

Full textAbstract:
This article draws attention to how management scholars “the outsiders within” who are structurally positioned within the academies of dominant powers might negotiate the complexities of producing a locally rooted and meaningful knowledge, emancipated from the U.S. hegemony while carrying organization studies in Arab countries. Drawing upon my different ethnographic journeys as a researcher, brought up in an Arab country with a Francophone intellectual mindset and studying Arab management practices, I will discuss both the potential for and the difficulties of critical engagement with a decolonizing management research agenda. Then, and building on critical border thinking tradition, I will propose the Egyptian term “Fahlawa” as a metaphor for better describing the challenges of a decolonizing research practice that privileges contestation and perpetual bricolage over formal and universal design. Finally, I will conclude by highlighting the potential of “Fahlawa” as a survival/resistance practice to theorize what is unthought and invisible in management literature and to build situated knowledge less organized by U.S. domination.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – This paper aims to highlight the historical roots of employee engagement and empirically examine the influence of self-efficacy on the three dimensions of employee engagement (vigor, dedication and absorption). Design/methodology/approach – A sample of 426 male and female respondents in the service industry from Lebanon was surveyed using a multi-scale measure composed of 25 items. Regression analysis was used to test the data for the hypothesized relationships between the variables. Findings – History of management continues to be the backbone of the so-called modern concepts. Although the term employee engagement was not used in scientific management or in the human relations movement, the characteristics were incorporated in these early schools. The three factors of employee engagement explained 78 per cent of the total variance of employee engagement construct and were significantly influenced by self-efficacy. Research limitations/implications – The first limitation of this study is the self-reported data, and the second limitation is the source from one industry (service), although different organizations were incorporated. Caution is advised against generalizations of the findings. Practical implications – The results of this study provide insights for both researchers and managers to better understand the relationship between three dimensions of employee engagement and self-efficacy from a non-Western context. The belief in one’s own capabilities helps promote employee engagement. Social implications – Lebanon offers an interesting context; it is considered as the only Arab country that provides an interaction between the Western and Middle Eastern countries. Originality/value – This study aimed to trace the historical roots of employee engagement to the early management schools. Moreover, studies similar to the present investigation exist; however, this is the first time that a non-Western Arab sample was used to examine the influence of self-efficacy on the three dimensions of employee engagement.

Under the sponsorship of the International Federation of Translators (FIT) and the U.N. Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), a Round Table on the Problems of Professional Translation in the Arab World and the Contribution of Technology was held from June 1 to 3, 1989 at the King Fahd Advanced School for Translation in Tangier, Morocco. This was a successful meeting both because of the number and the quality of participants, all of whom were professionals and specialists in translation, terminologists and machine translation researchers from European and Arab countries. It was a unique occurrence of its kind, as President of FIT Mme Anna Lilova pointed out in the opening session, because it is the first time that the Federation has organized such a meeting in an Arab country. Presentations dealt with three main topics, a day being devoted to each: (1) the status of the translator in the Arab countries; (2) the translator and MAT (machineassisted translation); and (3) terminology work in the Arab countries.In Arab countries translation is a tradition going back to the Abbasids, but even today it still does not have specific guidelines. Mr. Amid from UNESCO stressed the need for legislation, with the help of translation institutions, which would protect the rights of the translator. Mr. Rene Haeseryn, Secretary-General of FIT, in his presentation on "The FIT and its Main Role in the World Translation Movement;' pointed out the humanist goals of the Federation and its role in the protection of translators' rights. "We should protect the translators' rights, but also prepare him for the main choices of the future" was the primary concern which emerged from these working meetings. "Translation is a profession which presupposes training according to a well-thought out methodology" was the theme of various comtributions from the floor. Therefore, we should develop appropriate training suited to the needs and harmonize it in the various Arab countries. Also,· thanks to new technology, the profession of translation is now seeing its image change. The presentation by Veronica Lawson (FIT) of various systems (machine translation with or without human assistance) enabled us to gauge the progress made. But is the translator of Arabic ready to take up the challenge of machine translation? ...

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to examine the impact of School-Based Management (SBM) on Arab Palestinian schools in East Jerusalem. SBM, which has become a major and irreversible trend in educational reform in Western countries, has been introduced into a number of Asian and African nations over the last few decades. Consequently, a higher level of autonomy and decentralization constitutes the “default” approach to the management of schools within centrally-determined policies, goals, standards, curriculum, and accountability. However, the literature on SBM does not address the repercussions of implementing SBM in conflict zones such as Palestine in the context of larger political questions about power and ideological control. Using a qualitative methodology, field observations, and in-depth interviews with a sample of various stakeholders in Arab-Palestinian schools in East Jerusalem, including school principals and faculty members, this study investigates the impact of SBM on the educational system in these schools, their philosophy, policies, objectives, and the implementation of the curriculum, and the consequences of this on designing a “programmed” educational system educational outputs and learning outcomes. Findings show that these school reforms are driven not by a commitment to decentralization but by political and or ideological considerations (Israelifications and the assimilation of Palestinians within Israeli educational and philosophical frameworks). The study recommends that leaders in the field of education and education and local authorities in the Palestinian Arab community take appropriate measures to correct the current trajectories of the educational process in East Jerusalem schools.

<p>The aim of this study is to examine the degree of interdependence between oil prices and economic activity growth for four major countries (United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, and Venezuela) in the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) over the period from 3 September 2000 to 3 December 2010. We propose the frequency approach of Priestley and Tong (1973), which is the evolutionary co-spectral analysis. This method offers a time-varying dynamic correlation measure for different horizons, short-run and medium-run. To complete our study by analyzing long-run dependence, we use the cointegration procedure developed by Engle and Granger (1987). We show that oil price shocks in periods during period of fluctuations in the global business cycle and/or financial turmoil affect the relationship between oil and economic growth in OPEC countries.</p>

Governance and regulation at the national and international level, the management system of the leading companies in the world, forms and methods of management, and marketing, commercial and advertising work form a relatively new subject field in domestic science. These issues have been introduced into the educational process in Russian universities in the second half of the 1980s. At the MGIMO these research areas have been developed for more than 60 years. Scientific School of the Department of Management and Marketing and the Department of Management Foreign Economic Activity is oriented at the international level and focuses on the development of organizational forms and methods of management, marketing strategy, marketing, and commerce in the context of foreign trade and international activities of domestic firms and organizations on the basis of a comprehensive study of advanced management experience of leading foreign countries. In the early stages of its existence, the school was focused on methodological and practical aspects of international commerce and advertising. But gradually its research encompassed the field of management and marketing, and the scientific school in the field of international management and marketing was established on the basis of examination of relevant theories and experiences of leading foreign countries, and especially multinational companies. Originally these studies were conducted by the Department International Economic Relations of the Faculty of International Economic Relations at MGIMO. The disciplines included studies of the foreign trade operations in global markets, management of foreign economic activities in foreign countries, world commodity markets, and others. The textbook "Organization and technology of foreign trade in the capitalist market" by I.N. Gerchikova, Honored Scientist of the Russian Federation, Doctor of Economic Science, Professor, published in 1977 already contained sections on management and marketing, including the organizational structure of firms and their international marketing work, international advertising, etc. PhD. Professor F.G. Piskoppel, Ph.D. Professor S.P. Nikitin systematically analyzed forms and methods of market research, which are an integral part of the marketing activities of companies in global markets.

The rejection of Shia movement in Indonesia is a new discourse. Shia presence in Indonesia has been since the early arrival of Islam. But why the Shia resistance movement emerging in the early 21st century? I argue that the Arab spring is the biggest trigger is related to the rise of anti-Shia movements in Indonesia. This paper will explore the relationship between the Arab spring and its influence on the anti-Shia in Indonesia, including the emergence of a national-level organization called ANNAS, or Aliansi Nasional Anti Syiah (Anti-Shia National Alliance), which was declared on August 20, 2014. It aims to increase public awareness to the issue of anti-Shia and avoid potential conflicts which cause separations and threaten national stability as happened in the Arab countries that are currently happening provocations by parties who have interests and hidden agendas on them. Indonesia as a country that refer to Pancasila should be prepared for the issues that triggered the disintegration of the nation.

The study aims to highlight the importance of considering the implementation of process of re-engineering Reengineering Administrational Processes (RAP) in the Arab countries universities, particularly, colleges of education to attain good educational outputs. It seeks to highlight the requirements for this implementation and explore the problems associated to the implementation it and distinguish themselves from other organizations is. The Process of Re-Engineering (RAP) is defined as a rapid and drastic re-designing of managerial and strategic process of values at colleges of education in the Arab States Universities in order to attain good educational outputs. The managerial process includes planning, organization, control, follow-up, evaluation and decision taking. The significance of the study is that it can considerably help improve administrative processes applied in the domain of strategic planning at colleges of education in Arab States. The main objective of the study was to outline the main demands of colleges of education for using (RAP) and the obstacles that face its application. For that purpose, the descriptive/ analytic method was used. The study relied heavily on the analysis of the available literature, writings, and publications on the topic, for predicting the practicability of applying RAPRAP. The study came up with the following main results: RAP application, if used properly, can raise the level of job satisfaction among staff members of Arab States colleges of education in particular and the Arab States Universities in general. RAP application can affect total amendments on colleges of education administrative systems for better rendered services. The most demanding requirements of RAP are those that directly relate to the organization structure of the particular corporation, and all its activities for more flexibility, speed and accuracy of performance. The basic human requirements for RAP application include effective training for trainers for the sake of radical change in concepts and ideas. The main obstacles that face RAP application include the poor outcome at colleges of education regarding teaching/learning process, in addition to poor strategic information management on the part of colleges of education and universities. RAP is not fully made use of, despite large sums of money having been spent on for that exact purpose.

Full textAbstract:
This paper addresses a key social–cultural aspect of sustainability in the Gulf region: Workforce localization (WL). Our research objective is to empirically explore organizational socialization (OS) practices in the context of WL in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), where National Citizens (NCs) are a powerful minority in the workforce. This research adopts a qualitative methodology, using semi-structured interviews with managers in charge of the WL program in 14 organizations in the UAE, across different industrial sectors and ownership. We found five major OS practices: Establishing thorough orientation programs, providing formal training programs (skills, diversity/cultural awareness, supervisor, mentoring and coaching team building), redesigning NCs’ jobs and work teams, engaging expatriates in NCs’ OS processes, and organizing networking events. All organizations rigorously evaluated the effectiveness of their OS practices. This study contributes to the empirical literature on management OS, WL, and diversity management in a non-western, emerging Arab country. It contributes to theory development on the content of OS practices, showing how a minority can be a powerful group around whom socialization processes are tailored to integrate them fully into the organization. Practically, our findings inform managers of how to adapt their existing OS practices to the specific needs of minority members, and support Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC)-based organizations and policymakers with the design, monitoring, and implementation of WL programs, and with the development of a sustainable workforce.

Research on the mechanisms of organizing and managing via interpersonal relations has a rich history in the management and organization-oriented literature. So far, however, the informal dimension of managing and organizing by drawing on informal networks in an international context has received comparably less attention. Recent research has pointed out that social capital and network theories have largely been developed by Western scholars based on circumstances and social structures that are typical of Western societies. Thus, current theory takes into account to a lesser extent their character and nature and the way in which informal ties and networks are formed in other parts of the world (Ledeneva, 2018; Li, 2007b; Qi, 2013; Sato, 2010). Besides the growing body of literature concerned with informal ties and networks in emerging and transitioning countries, for example guanxi (China), blat/svyazi (Russia), and wasta (Arab World), a trend for analyzing pervasive informal networks in advanced and industrialized economies, such as yongo (Korea), has arisen. While insights from the latter research stream indicate that informal networks persist, the results generated in both research streams will help in developing the extant informal network theories further.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to explore the effect of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation on business school students’ aspirations to become entrepreneurial managers in the future and whether the gender of their university instructor affects such a relationship. Gender equivalence proved to devour an instructive advantage over students (Aragonés-González, Rosser-Limiñana, & Gil-González, 2020), in addition to the idea that gender competence is a key element in the educational field (Palmén et al., 2020). The hypothesized paradigm is tested through multiple regression and univariate tests based on the responses of 321 Jordanian university students who finished entrepreneurship courses to pursue nexuses between the endogenous and exogenous variables. Results indicated that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations affect students’ aspirations to become entrepreneurial managers in the future in favor of their role models. Additionally, both intrinsic and extrinsic motivations are affected by female instructors. However, male instructors only inspired the intrinsic motivation of the students. As female academic instructors face challenges attributed to gender bias, especially in the Arab and Middle Eastern countries, the results of the study hope to help change the discerning negative perceptions of female instructors in Jordanian and Arab universities. Such problems in gender inspiration affect the prospect of the outcomes required and may have an indirect effect on the educational field in general. The study recommends focusing more on the effect of motivation and innovation efficiency based on gender type in addition to converging entrepreneurship educational research due to the COVID-19 pandemic (Ratten & Jones, 2021).

The paper describes the development of management at the beginning of the XX century. At that time, there have being published works on management in different countries of the world. Scientific schools had been formed, but the role of Russian scientists in the development of management theory had been not sufficiently studied yet. Outside the field of view of foreign and domestic scientists remained the scientific school of production organization at the Imperial Moscow technical school (IMTS) and Nikolai Charnovskii’s textbook “Organization of industrial enterprises for metal processing”, published in 1911. The methodological base of the research included narrative, comparative and historical research methods. Revealing archival documents made it necessary to clarify important facts. The results of the study show there were their own scientific management schools not only in the United States and Europe. The comparison of sources has shown that Russia had formed its own research areas, including the IMTS. The research should be used in works on the history of management, in the preparation of anthologies and training courses on management theory.

The year 2020 has turned the world upside down with the outbreak of the disease COVID 19. It forced the companies to shift their work focus from office to work from home. Every sector of the economy got affected by the pandemic and a financial crisis was faced by almost every firm. To deal with the financial crisis, many firms have altered their compensation packages. The world of The Middle East is nowhere left behind. The firms of GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) countries known for their attractive pay packages were forced to make modifications, adjustments, and variations to their compensation. The current paper analyzes various amendments made by firms in the Gulf Countries like Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Bahrain to their compensation management system to cope with the challenges of the pandemic. It also highlights the remittances provided by the governments of these countries to tackle the situation. Analysis was done based on secondary data which includes the Gulf Health Council Report, International Labor Organization reports, Mercer Consultant Report, publication of Arab Reform Initiative, OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development) publication on MENA countries, and World Bank report (2018). The findings highlighted the turbulence experienced by employees working in gulf, as majority of GCC countries lacked in providing pay protection and job protection. It also describes to what extent the remittances provided by the government in these countries were helpful to the expatriates.

Full textAbstract:
The article starts from the idea that crisis in society, especially in instances such as the Macedonian society in the period of transition, conditions the crisis of the school. Symptoms of the latter ar not just the declining quality of teaching but also increased frequency of physical forms of school violence. The concept of violence is complex and its definitions range from 'verbal violence' to 'uncivilized behavior'. School violence occurs always in a certain social context, considered in this article at three levels: 1) the level of Macedonian society; 2) the global level or globalising context and 3) mass communication context (television, internet, computer and video games, cell phones etc.). Various forms of violence occurring in the family, in the social setting (which forms the background to both family and school) and in the school are closely related and mutually dependent. According to J. Dumay, school violence has three forms: 1) exogenous, 2) the violence proper to the school, implying some form of 'school incivility', and 3) anti-school violence aimed at institutions. In such a social context, the school itself with its authoritarian forms of teaching, textbooks related to the 'hidden curriculum', and inadequate organization and management is a source of violence against students. Research data presented in this paper confirm these claims. The findings also indicate that in terms of incidence of school violence Macedonia ranks at the top of European countries. The pressing character of the problem has urged some countries to develop programs for preventing and reducing school violence, as well as models of effectively organized school.

AbstractThe Byurakan Astrophysical Observatory (BAO, Armenia, http://www.bao.am) are among the candidate IAU Regional Nodes for Astronomy for Development activities. It is one of the main astronomical centers of the former Soviet Union and the Middle East region. At present there are 48 qualified researchers at BAO, including six Doctors of Science and 30 PhDs. Five important observational instruments are installed at BAO, the larger ones being 2.6m Cassegrain (ZTA-2.6) and 1m Schmidt (the one that provided the famous Markarian survey). BAO is regarded as a national scientific-educational center, where a number of activities are being organized, such as: international conferences (4 IAU symposia and 1 IAU colloquium, JENAM-2007, etc.), small workshops and discussions, international summer schools (1987, 2006, 2008 and 2010), and Olympiads. BAO collaborates with scientists from many countries. The Armenian Astronomical Society (ArAS, http://www.aras.am/) is an NGO founded in 2001; it has 93 members and it is rather active in the organization of educational, amateur, popular, promotional and other matters. The Armenian Virtual Observatory (ArVO, http://www.aras.am/Arvo/arvo.htm) is one of the 17 national VO projects forming the International Virtual Observatories Alliance (IVOA) and is the only VO project in the region serving also for educational purposes. A number of activities are planned, such as management, coordination and evaluation of the IAU programs in the area of development and education, establishment of the new IAU endowed lectureship program and organization of seminars and public lectures, coordination and initiation of fundraising activities for astronomy development, organization of regional scientific symposia, conferences and workshops, support to Galileo Teacher Training Program (GTTP), production/publication of educational and promotional materials, etc.

Full textAbstract:
This study was conducted in order to determine the effective techniques of classroom management that can be used to minimize classroom misbehavior and maximize effective learning. Classroom management is probably the most difficult part of teaching .High school teachers in Iraq, like in all countries, face instances of misbehavior in the form of off-task behavior or more serious disruptions. When a teacher is forced to deal with constant disruptions or a teacher cannot control his or her classroom then learning is not taking place. Thus, the objective of this study is to determine what methods of classroom management are available for teachers. This study used different methods to gather information on the best ways of classroom management. There have been many studies that serve to support universal classroom methods of classroom management techniques. Throughout my humble experience as teacher in college of police I found many Iraqi universities professors and high school teachers are still sticking with traditional (outdated) ways and techniques of teaching English regardless of their learner's needs and motivations. Thus the teachers have to think with the central question being “what do these students need and how can I meet those needs.” The significance of this study is that Iraqi and Arab teachers (who use English language as a second language as a means of communication) who are having problems coping with misbehavior in their classroom can use the techniques recommended by this study in order to improve their classroom management. This study found that there are varieties of techniques taken from the classroom management theories that aid in improving classroom management.

The article considers the practice of evaluating the quality of secondary education in European countries. The author of the article analyzes the characteristic features of the implementation of evaluation procedures in the educational space of secondary schools. The study aims at exploring the experience and procedure of the evaluation of the quality of secondary education in European countries and to recommend their achievements for the educational practice of Ukraine. Research methods: analysis, systematization, comparison, data classification, legislative provisions concerning the organization of pedagogical evaluation the quality of secondary education in European countries. Different countries have different approaches to understanding the external and internal evaluation of secondary education. Thus, 26 countries successfully implement both, internal and external evaluation procedure. Some countries use school assessment for quality assurance, along with other methods, such as monitoring under the aegis of regional public education authorities and teachers’ evaluation. Among the criteria for quality evaluation are the indicators of students’ academic performance, obtained as a result of international survey on the quality of education in various countries. Among the most popular surveys are PISA and TIMSS. The criteria used in the external evaluation of schools are highly standardized. They are developed by the departments of the education ministries in most researched countries and only in a minority of European countries they are developed by regional education authorities. In most cases, external evaluation of schools covers a wide range of the secondary education institution activities, including teaching, management, students’ learning outcomes and compliance with legal requirements and regulations. The evaluation criteria also include teachers' professional training and competence, teaching methods, students’ academic achievements, dropout rate, school organization and management, environmental and construction conditions, involvement of the stakeholders in the educational process, social context, and integrated interaction with the environment. The progressive experience of European countries can be effectively used to improve the domestic system of quality assurance in secondary education. Keywords: quality of secondary education, evaluation, internal evaluation of the quality of education, European experience in evaluating the quality of secondary education.

Full textAbstract:
Early childhood caries (ECC) is one of the most prevalent chronic childhood diseases affecting the primary teeth of children younger than 6 years of age. The disease etiology is complex and includes social, biological, and dietary factors. This review aims to explore the knowledge of ECC prevalence globally and locally within the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries during the years 2010–2021. Another aim is to explore oral health promotion programs with more focus on the GCC region. A search was conducted in PubMed, Medline, Scopus, the Cochrane Collaboration database, and Google Scholar to identify relevant studies published between 2010 and 2021 using specific keywords. Studies that utilized both the World Health Organization criteria and International Caries Detection and Assessment System for dental caries assessment were included. The included studies indicated considerable variation in the reported prevalence of ECC. While developed countries show low prevalence, countries in the GCC and other Arab countries show a high prevalence of ECC. Many oral health promotion programs were identified globally including oral health education, nutritional programs, the use of fluoride and pit-and-fissure sealants, and inter-professional population-based oral health promotion and prevention programs such as school-based oral health programs, motivational interviewing, and anticipatory guidance. ECC remains a significant problem in many parts of the world including the GCC region. Oral health prevention programs have been established within the GCC region. Nevertheless, the GCC region has some unique characteristics that need to be investigated to contextualize the western model of the dynamics of ECC prevention and promotion programs locally.

Full textAbstract:
This study evaluates the role and performance of Shari’a Supervisory Boards (SSB) within Islamic Financial Institutions (IFIs) of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries (Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and United Arab Emirates). Although the SSB has a significant impact on an IFI’s performance, there has been little empirical research on the SSB performance. This study is unique in measuring empirically the relation between five variables and SSB performance. Data has been collected through a questionnaire from 76 Shari’a Supervisory Boards, 73 Boards of Directors, and 59 shareholders of IFIs in the GCC countries during 2009. The researchers found three variables that have a positive impact on the performance of SSBs: the number of SSB meetings, the qualifications of SSB members, and the evaluation of each member. Furthermore, the work of the Shari’a control department was found to have a negative impact on SSB performance. There was no statistically relationship between SSB performance and SSB position within the IFI organization structure. This study fills a literature gap in corporate governance by evaluating the impact of a religious board upon the performance of financial institutions. The study provides a theoretical framework for measuring SSB performance using internal variables. This study offers insights to GCC regulators, central banks, and other IFI stakeholders concerning SSB performance. In addition, it provides guidance to SSB members in improving their performance and strengthening their relations with other governance organs.

Full textAbstract:
What are the workplace manifestations of ongoing ethno-national conflict? How do co-workers on rival sides in war-torn countries cope with these manifestations? Interviews with nurses, nursing assistants and physicians in a Palestinian-Arab hospital and in a Jewish retirement home reveal how the broader ethno-national conflict in Israel penetrates the workplace. Problems arise for them when violence related to the conflict erupts outside the workplace and when patients express racist views during interactions with medical staff. This study finds that staff members respond with ‘split ascription’, a grassroots coping strategy that differentiates between a cooperative work environment and discriminatory structural elements of the employing organization. Split ascription challenges existing theories of interethnic relations in the workplace, as it combines both interactional and structural elements within a single coping strategy.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine the relative academic effectiveness of vocational education in three countries with early tracking systems: Austria, Croatia, and Hungary. Design/methodology/approach – The authors use an instrumental variables approach to estimate vocational education’s relative academic effectiveness in terms of achievement on an international test, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development’s Program of International Student Assessment (PISA), and two possible indicators of non-cognitive outcomes – self-efficacy in mathematics and intrinsic motivation in mathematics, both also available from the PISA student survey. Findings – The results show few, if any, differences in student gains from attending the vocational track in secondary school as opposed to the academic track. Specifically, the results show that attending the vocational or academic track results in similar achievement gains in the tenth grade and generally similar gains in self-efficacy and motivation in mathematics. Originality/value – The study is unique because in the three countries, the authors can use a fuzzy regression discontinuity approach based on school systems’ age entrance date rules to estimate the gain in test scores over an academic year and to compare the gain for students in the vocational and academic tracks. The results contradict almost all other studies by showing that in these countries student academic gains in vocational education are about the same as in the academic track.

Dementia is now the leading cause of admission to residential aged care facilities (RACF) in the developed world (Van Rensbergen and Nawrot, 2010), with prevalence rates among residents estimated to be approximately 70% (Zimmermanet al., 2014). In addition, dementia is now the 4th leading cause of death in high-income countries with this expected to rise to the 3rd leading cause of death by 2030 (World health Organization, 2015). Despite the prevalence of the condition, the amount of teaching time devoted to dementia in medical school curricula remains low and does not adequately prepare graduates for their work as doctors (Tullo and Allan, 2011; Tullo and Gordon, 2013). As a consequence, many general practitioners feel their level of confidence in managing behavioral and psychological symptoms of dementia (BPSD) is very low (Buhagiaret al., 2011).

A random sample was chosen a sample consisting of (233) male and female teachers. The results showed that the degree of practicing public school principals in East Jerusalem in managing school crises got an average (3.58 out of 5), meaning a degree of (high) practice. At the level of domains, the confrontational field before the crisis occurred got the highest average (3.64 out of 5), then the confrontation field. During the occurrence of the crisis at an average of (3.58), and finally the confrontation after its occurrence at an average of (3.52), all of which are of a (high) practice rating, and that school principals have a preconceived perception of any emergency crisis and on all axes of the questionnaire (before, during and after the crisis). The study also found that the ability Managers deal with the crisis before its occurrence is greater than dealing with it after its end, and the study indicated that there are statistically significant differences in the degree of school crisis management among public school principals due to the variables of the teacher’s gender and the gender of the school principal and in favor of males. Based on the results, the researchers presented a set of recommendations and proposals to enhance the culture of crisis management among public school principals in East Jerusalem, all of Palestine and the Arab countries.

Purpose This paper aims to propose and test a conceptual model, guided by conservation of resources theory, that examines whether emotional exhaustion is a mediator between organization mission fulfillment and critical outcomes such as turnover intentions, lateness attitude, job performance and extra-role customer service. Design/methodology/approach The aforesaid relationships were assessed via data gathered from customer-contact employees two weeks apart in three waves and their immediate supervisors in the international five-star chain hotels in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. The relationships in the model were gauged via structural equation modeling. Findings The results reveal that organization mission fulfillment influences the above-mentioned outcomes only through emotional exhaustion. Specifically, organization mission fulfillment mitigates customer-contact employees’ emotional exhaustion. Under these circumstances, these employees report desirable outcomes such as low levels of quitting intentions and lateness attitude as well as higher in- and extra-role performances. Research limitations/implications In future research, collecting data from different service settings in different countries would enable the researcher to conduct a cross-national study and make further generalizations. In future research, including actual turnover and absenteeism as well creative and service recovery performances in the model would enrich the understanding about the outcomes of organization mission fulfillment and emotional exhaustion. Practical implications Management needs to use several intra-organizational communication tools so that customer-contact employees can have an understanding of how the organization is trying to accomplish its mission. When employees participate in and contribute to the preparation of the organization’s mission statement, they own the mission statement and do their best to achieve the organizational objectives. Management should also offer a work environment where employees can avail themselves of psychosocial support to be provided by mentors. Such psychosocial support would enable employees to manage problems emerging from emotional exhaustion. Originality/value This paper contributes to current knowledge by testing the effect of the organization’s fidelity to its mission statement on emotional exhaustion and the above-mentioned job outcomes using data obtained from employees in frontline service jobs in the hotel industry.

Purpose: The potential benefits of ICT integration in learning in schools have been extensively discussed in the academic literature worldwide. In recent years globally, there has been rapid expansion in integration of ICT in primary school education. Countries has further put in place many initiatives to enhance the same. Integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is a critical factor in ensuring improved quality education. Despite the many benefits that are known to be brought by integrating ICT in teaching and learning, studies have shown that integration remains low especially in primary schools. The general objective of the study was to establish the influence of information communication technology on child education
Methodology: The paper used a desk study review methodology where relevant empirical literature was reviewed to identify main themes and to extract knowledge gaps.
Findings: The study found out that the influence of ICTs in learning cannot be dealt with in isolation. For technology to be effective, it must be availed to learners at the right time and place. There is need to be effective, it must be availed to learner’s proximity; that is in classrooms or supposed learning environment
Recommendations: The study recommends that school management should focus on increasing their ICTs infrastructure by provision of computers, building computer laboratories and encouraging public-private partnership so as to help in internet connectivity and provision of basic infrastructure. Capacity building is an important initiative that helps in ensuring that the benefits that accrue from use of technology in education are maximized. Additionally, students should be provided with technical assistance to use ICTs in teaching and learning

Full textAbstract:
In absence of any global treaty, the bilateral investment treaties are playing an important role of regulating foreign investments in the host countries. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development, there are 2361 bilateral investment treaties are in force and like other members of the World Trade Organization, Malaysia and Netherlands also signed bilateral investment treaties to facilitate trade. The primary purpose of economic globalization is the economic development of the developing and least-developed countries as well as to facilitate benefits of the home states. Malaysia foreign investment laws and bilateral investment treaties mainly protects foreign investors, however, neither of them has any specific provision of protecting environment. The Environmental Quality Act 1974 standard in Malaysia is not high like many developed countries such as Netherlands and significantly lack any provision to sustainable development. This article addresses two questions: (a) do the bilateral investment treaties of Malaysia and Netherlands has any specific provision to protect the environment? (b) should the environmental protection be considered during the entry of foreign investment in Malaysia and Netherlands? Using doctrinal research method, we critically analysed twenty-one bilateral investment treaties signed by both Malaysia and Netherlands with same countries to explore whether there is any reference of protecting environment. We find that the existing Malaysia and Netherlands bilateral investment treaties have provisions to promote and protect foreign investments but have no reference (except Netherlands-United Arab Emirates BIT) of protecting environment. Therefore, both governments should consider this important factor while signing any future bilateral investment treaties.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss the effectiveness of image-repair strategies adopted by organizations to restore their public image and reputation following crisis situations, the lessons learned from these cases and the significance of contextual factors that are likely to affect image-repair efforts and strategies adopted. Design/methodology/approach Three cases have been reviewed in this paper: Weather, Jordan; Nestlé Waters, Jordan; and Victoria College School, Jordan. Information was obtained from published materials, such as YouTube commentaries, local newspapers and online news agents, primarily the Jordan Times, which is considered the number one daily in the country. The discussion of these cases is original and based on academic theory and literature. Findings Organizations differ in terms of the ways they respond to corporate crises and the strategies they are likely to adopt to restore/recover their reputation and public image. Practical implications Corporate reputation or public image is an asset that is built over time. Organizations within all industries seek to secure positive images in the minds of people. The image of an organization however can be threatened by crises. Trust and public image decline when stakeholders feel they have not been adequately informed in times of crises regarding the different attributes of the situation or how the organization is dealing with the crisis. Organizations have the choice to adopt one image-repair strategy at a time or a combination of strategies according to the requirements of the situation. Originality/value Image-repair strategies have been examined in American and European contexts but have, to the author’s knowledge, never been examined in the context of Arab organizations and more specifically in the context of Jordanian organizations. This paper therefore provides a new insight into how to apply these strategies in a unique and new context and will also motivate future research in this regard.

Full textAbstract:
Teaching is considered to be one of the most stressful professions. Bad social status of teacher in society, low salary, abundance of work roles, the need to work overtime, education reforms, disrespectful behavior of learners, high demands - all these factors and many others cause teachers‘ stress in their professional activity. The study is aimed at identifying individual and organizational practices that are used to cope with teacher stress as well as finding out what are the main stress management gaps and areas which need to be improved at organization level and individually. A quantitative survey conducted in five European countries revealed that the most frequent stress management measures used at individual level relate to rational practices focused on managing thoughts and promoting rational and positive thinking. Also different organizational interventions are implemented at school level to promote teachers’ motivation, participatory environment, open communication and support. However, these measures are insufficient. They need to be strengthened and expanded in order to promote more supportive work environment and trainings targeted to fill the gaps in school staff knowledge and skills on resolving conflicts and stress different management techniques.

Full textAbstract:
Research in the field of strategic human resource management has attracted a great deal of interest because of its likely impact on bottom line outcomes. Recent work in this area posits that organizational commitment can mediate the relationship between human resource management (HRM)practices and organizational performance. However, most of the studies conducted in this area were concentrated on samples gathered from private organizations, and mainly in western countries. In this paper, the impact of HRM on organizational performance is assessed. Furthermore, this research attempts to shed more light on the ‘black box’ between human resource practices and organizational performance by investigating the mediating function of organizational commitment in two public sector entities within the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The mediating factor was tested through regression of the data collected from a sample of 371 workers who are employed within the two aforementioned public sector entities. The main findings are in line with the outcomes of earlier HRM-performance studies conducted in western public and private sectors, where employers can expect improved organizational performance when their employees' perceptions of the HRM practices within the organization tend to foster an increase in their organizational commitment.

Although touted as having impacts on educational performance in some countries not much attention has been given to investigating the relationship between decentralisation of educational management and the teacher outcomes in the Ghanaian context. The study thus sought to investigate the effect of decentralised systems on teacher motivation in Ghanaian basic public schools, to determine the effect of decentralised systems on quality teacher in Ghanaian basic public schools, and to investigate the effect of decentralised systems on Teacher discipline in Ghanaian basic public schools. A concurrent mixed design was employed in this study, however only quantitative findings are reported. A multistage random sampling technique was used to select 408 public and private schools from nine regions. Primary data based on a Cross-sectional survey making use of a survey questionnaire. Multiple Linear Regression analysis was employed for analysis. Results from Multiple Regression analysis reveal adequacy of the models of the study (R2 > 0.5). It was found that the District Education Oversight Committees roles in Personnel management, Organization of Instruction, had significant effect on teacher outputs including teacher motivation, teacher discipline, quality of teaching, and opportunities to learn. It was recommended that various Assemblies take the work of DEOC seriously and make resources available for their effective role in the management of Basic School to ensure effective implementation of decentralisation at the local level.

At the beginning of 2020, problems arose that will affect the further development of the economy and transport, firstly, the withdrawal of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates from the OPEC deal, secondly, the fall in the price of Brent oil by more than 30%, thirdly, the outbreak of the coronavirus infection COVID-19, which has largely affected enterprises in all industries. The development of the country’s economy in the global world economy is characterized by volatility and the presence of risks associated with the presence in it of countries with different levels of economic development, economic structure, orientation of the economy, the social structure of society, and the quality of the labor force. The market of road transport services is characterized by a high level of competition in the market. This is due to the following factors: market saturation, the optimal level of tariffs, the volatility of the country’s market economy and the dependence of the transport services market on industrial production, namely on shippers and consignees. Commercial activity can be interpreted as part of entrepreneurial activity related to the sale of goods and services for profit. As the main directions for improving commercial activities, it is planned to integrate marketing and logistics services, which will reduce risks at the stages of movement and storage of products; optimization of business processes of the organization; increasing the company’s rating based on the choice of a reliable carrier; rational selection of a logistics operator.

According to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) (OECD, 2018), in almost half of the 38 OECD-member countries, most of the decisions about organization of instruction, personnel management, planning and structures, and resource management are taken at the school level. This study focused on understanding the current body of EdLAM knowledge to help doctoral students and early career researchers plan, run, and publish their studies. The terms “educational administration”, “educational management”, “educational leadership” were used to search the Web of Science database for studies published between 2000 and 2019. The final data set included 1438 articles. Concepts were examined with cooccurrence analysis using the bibliographic analysis tool, VOSViewer. Citation analysis was employed for ascertaining sources of highly cited articles. Results showed that “educational leadership” was the most studied concepts. Compare: A Journal of Comparative and International Education, and Educational Management Administration and Leadership were found to be those journals with the highest average yearly influence.

PurposeThis paper aims to identify and prioritize the dimensions that impact employee social sustainability in the airline industry in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).Design/methodology/approachThe five main criteria (employee well-being, communication, management support, reward and control system and training) and 18 sub-criteria were identified from the literature. The sample comprised four experts covering the HR, finance and training functions from a major UAE airline organization. Applying the analytical-hierarchy-process (AHP) methodology resulted in obtaining priority weights for the factors assigned to employee-social-sustainability implementation.FindingsManagement support was found to have the highest priority among the study dimensions impacting employee social sustainability. Surprisingly, reward system was found to be the least important dimension.Research limitations/implicationsThe study was carried out on a single airline organization, limiting the generalizability of the findings. Future studies should be extended to cater to different organizational contexts and varying operational conditions.Practical implicationsThe findings should be of value to human resource management and policymakers in developing countries, such as the UAE, where employee social sustainability should be sought as a means to develop an efficient and sustainable workforce in different industrial sectors.Originality/valueThis study is among the few pioneering studies that focus on employee social sustainability. The use of AHP to prioritize employee-social-sustainability dimensions is also considered pioneering within the field and is anticipated to support future studies, and a deeper understanding, of employee social sustainability.

Although touted as having impacts on educational outcomes in some countries not much attention has been given to evaluating the operations of the District Oversight Committees toward implementing decentralised education management functions at the basic level of education, on a national level. The study sought to evaluate the role of DOECs toward decentralization of school management at the basic level of Education and also identify existing challenges towards their operations. A mixed design was employed in this study. A multistage random sampling technique was used to select 408 public and private schools from 9 regions and interviews conducted with selected District directors and Headteachers from which schools are selected. It was found that the District Education Oversight Committees were sometimes involved in their roles toward Personnel management, Organization of Instruction, and in Planning and Structures. While it was found that DOECs were particularly active in supervision and monitoring in schools they were less active in some personnel management functions as the power and means to perform such functions remained centralised. Key challenges which affected the operations on the DEOCs were financial constraints, inadequate logistics for the operations, inadequacy and delay in supply of teaching and learning materials, delays in decisions on appointments, promotions and sanctions, political interferences, poor communication, and difficulty in monitoring and supervision of school. It was recommended that there a more improved form of devolution may be needed to address some lingering challenges observed after decade of practicing educational decentralization. Again, there should be a consistent supervision of school instructions at various levels of decentralization of educational management to ensure standard is maintained.

Education, to make maximum use of its human and physical resources, needs to establish social space-generating capacity to meet its goals. The most important problem, according to experts’ opinions, which has damaged the effectiveness of schools, is the lack of a competitive environment schools. Therefore, it is required to draw up a framework to increase competition among schools. To establish such structure, several factors which facilitate implementation are required. Therefore, using the theoretical framework and experiences of countries, facilitating factors in applying the self-organized teams were extracted. Attitudes of teachers and administrators in relation to these factors should be investigated to measure the preparedness of education to apply these factors. This article with considering KAP research, which is focused on preparedness (knowledge), attitudes and behavior, attempts to concentrate on the establishing teachers’ level of preparedness and achieving self-organized teams. For this purpose, using a questionnaire, attitudes of elementary school principals in Tehran were evaluated. The results show preparedness and a positive attitude of principals and teachers about the desired factors

Business is neither a new branch of science, nor a recently emerged social or political phenomenon. We are not tend to discuss the history of management as obviously this field like many other activities stimulated by human includes own origin, gained experience and a certain retrospective. A modern world has strongly developed the concept of management thus becoming an integral and manifold idea. A number of published articles, text/books, recommendations, etc. represent different levels of writing. Moreover, corrections and supplements are made to the already available management theories and conceptions the new versions of which are also successfully created. The present structure of studies at university can be hardly imagined without varying courses on the subjects related to management. For the last two decades, the majority of countries around the world have faced the young generation engaged in management sciences; after graduating secondary school, a relatively large part of the youth keep on studying management sciences, i.e. a strong tendency reveals that graduates prefer social sciences and humanities. The reasons for motivation may vary. However, more frequently expressed opinions are those stating that such choice can be simply influenced by laziness experienced by a part of students, willingness to try, overcome difficulties, etc. Despite a notable lack of professionals in the field in technological sciences in a large part of countries, quite a few learners are greatly interested in social sciences. Supposedly, such choice can be the result of the existing stereotypes and rational motivation (less complicated entry to a university, easier studies, etc.). Lengthy discussions are inappropriate due to the fact that in-depth research on dominant motifs is required. This is important because today’s young people are would-be leaders and managers and the degree of their motivation, purposeful choice and responsibility will affect not only the well-being of a certain organization but also that of particular society.
