Perceived Usefulness of Google Scholar for Literature Review and Intention to Use: Evidence From Rizal Technological Office Administration Students
Get PDFThis study aims to examine the perceived usefulness of Google Scholar among Office Administration students in state universities, focusing on its role in conducting literature reviews. The research seeks to measure factors that drive students to use Google Scholar, associated with students' intentions to continue using the platform in their academic work. The study specifically gathered data from Office Administration students enrolled in state universities during the academic year 2024-2025. Findings from this research will contribute to improving digital literacy programs and enhancing students’ academic experience. The study revealed a significant correlation between the perceived usefulness of Google Scholar and students’ intention to use it. It shows that the multiple factors, such as efficiency in finding relevant sources, quick access to information, availability of up-to-date research, user-friendliness, and cost-free access, are associated with students' intention to use Google Scholar for their academic research, especially in finding literature reviews. The strong positive correlations across various aspects indicate that students who perceive Google Scholar as a useful tool are more inclined to integrate it into their research activities, prefer it over other academic databases, explore its advanced features, and recommend it to others. The findings show that while students find Google Scholar convenient and accessible, some struggle with navigation and accessing full-text articles. The study recommends further research on the platform’s long-term impact and how digital literacy affects its use. Future studies may explore whether targeted training improves students' research skills, offering insights for universities to better support academic success
Influence of Green Practices and Environmental Awareness on Intention to Visit: The Case of Shopping Malls in Makati City, Philippines
Get PDFThis study explores the influence of green practices, environmental consciousness on consumers’ willingness to visit shopping malls, focusing on Ayala Malls in Makati City. As environmental sustainability gains traction, malls increasingly adopt eco-friendly initiatives to attract and retain environmentally aware shoppers. This research specifically investigates how sustainability efforts such as waste management systems, energy-efficient infrastructure, and green open spaces influence consumer attitudes and visit intentions. The objective is to determine how environmental awareness and green practices contribute to consumers' shopping intentions, and which initiatives most effectively foster positive perceptions and behaviors. A quantitative research design was used, gathering data from 385 via a structured questionnaire. Regression analysis was applied to assess the impact of green practices and environmental consciousness on mall visitation intent. Findings reveal a strong consumer preference for environmentally sustainable shopping environments. Respondents highlighted visible recycling measures, bicycle parking, and active sustainability campaigns as key factors shaping positive mall experiences. These green features were significantly influenced by the increased likelihood of mall visits. The study underscores the importance of enhancing green initiatives within malls. Recommendations include simplifying waste management systems, introducing sustainable consumption incentives, and embedding sustainability in corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts. These strategies not only boost consumer engagement but also support long-term business viability. Future researchers may consider examining the changing consumer behavior trends and asses the long-term business value of green practice

Modelling the Integration of People with Disabilities into the Labor Market
Get PDFIn this paper, a systematic review of the literature on the labor market integration (LMI) of people with disabilities (PWD) was conducted. PWD’s LMI is characterized by obtaining a (first) job, by the suitability of this job, by its security and maintenance, by a long-term career, by participation in the labor market, and by finding the meaning of this job. The stakeholder perspective of integrating PWD into the labor market could be extended to the long term. Thanks to the results and analysis supplied by this research, these partners will be able to channel their actions along the six phases identified. This article will enable the people involved to gain a better understanding of the phenomenon, solve the problems, and better assume their responsibilities. This study responds to the lack of literature review on the PWD’s LMI and provides an analysis and organization of this knowledge
The Relationship of Organizational Commitment and Employee Job Satisfaction: A Case of Quick Service Restaurants in the Philippines
Get PDFThis study explores the relationship between organizational commitment and job satisfaction among employees in selected quick-service restaurants (QSRs) in the Philippines. Using a descriptive-correlational design, data were collected from 279 frontline employees of Jollibee and McDonald’s across Metro Manila. The Organizational Commitment Questionnaire (OCQ) and Job Descriptive Index (JDI) measured various dimensions of commitment and satisfaction. Findings revealed high levels of affective and normative commitment, moderate continuance commitment, and overall high job satisfaction, particularly in career development. A strong positive correlation was found between organizational commitment and job satisfaction, with normative commitment showing the strongest link. No significant differences were observed between local and international QSR brands. These results suggest that emotional and moral factors, more than financial considerations, play a central role in employee satisfaction in the fast-paced food service sector. The study contributes to HR practices by emphasizing the need for purpose-driven work environments and growth opportunities. It concludes that strengthening affective and normative commitment enhances retention and satisfaction. It is recommended that QSRs implement structured recognition programs, leadership development tracks, and internal promotion initiatives to build a more committed workforce. This study is limited by its use of non-probability sampling and focus on Metro Manila, which may affect the generalizability of the results. Practically, these findings guide QSR managers in designing targeted employee engagement and retention strategies. Socially, the study highlights the importance of supporting frontline worker well-being and career growth in high-turnover industries
Education Financing Resilience Strategy in Muhammadiyah Elementary Schools
Get PDFSchool financing plays a crucial role in supporting the quality of education and requires effective management and governance. This study explores the financing resilience strategy of an elementary school with limited managerial and financial capacity, including the challenges it encounters and the solutions it applies. The data were collected using a qualitative descriptive approach through in-depth interviews and documentation. The primary data sources were the school principal and treasurer, with supporting documents as secondary sources. This research was conducted at Muhammadiyah Girikerto Elementary School, Sleman, Special Region of Yogyakarta. Data analysis involved data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results indicate that the school has implemented a comprehensive financing strategy encompassing planning, execution, and evaluation stages. Despite limited resources, the school has effectively addressed financing challenges, ensuring the continuity of teaching and learning activities. These findings underscore the importance of a robust financing resilience strategy in maintaining educational quality, particularly in developing schools with limited resources.
Job Stress and Job Involvement: The Direct Role of Perceived Coworker Support
Get PDFThis study examines the relationship between job stress and job involvement, and evaluates the direct role of perceived coworker support within an educational foundation setting. Using a quantitative survey involving all 75 employees of the Mahaduna Rohmatul Umam Foundation, data were analyzed using PLS-SEM. The results indicate that job stress does not significantly influence job involvement. Meanwhile, perceived coworker support demonstrates a strong and significant direct effect on job involvement, although it does not moderate the relationship between job stress and job involvement. These findings suggest that supportive colleagues can sustain employee involvement even when job stress is present. The study partially supports the Job Demands- Resources Model by highlighting the importance of job resources, particularly social support, in maintaining involvement. Practically, organizations are encouraged to foster collaboration and open communication to strengthen employees’ job involvement
The Effect of Sustainability Disclosure on Firm Value Moderated by Good Corporate Governance
Get PDFThe importance of sustainability disclosures has gained increasing attention in recent years, particularly among stakeholders aiming to maximize wealth by increasing firm value. This research aims to examine the moderating role of good corporate governance on the effect of economic, environmental, and social disclosure on firm value. This study adopted a quantitative approach with an associative design, using content analysis with the GRI 2021 Standards. The research focused on companies listed on the SRI KEHATI index from 2019 to 2023. The results indicate that only economic disclosure has a significant effect on firm value. Board size is not relatively effective in moderating the effect of economic, environmental and social disclosure on firm value. Audit committee meetings only can moderate the effect of economic disclosure on firm value. The presence of independent commissioners can effectively moderate the effect of economic, environmental, and social disclosures on firm value. Firms may leverage the findings of this research to evaluate the implementation of sustainability reporting. At the same time, investors are encouraged to focus on both financial and sustainability disclosures when making investment decisions
Enhancing Resource Access through Cooperative Membership: The Case of the Teachers of the Luakan National High School, Philippines
Get PDFThis study investigated the effect of cooperative membership on the resource access of the teachers of the Luakan National High School in Dinalupihan, Bataan, Philippines. The study aimed to: determine whether there is a significant difference in the estimated monthly consumption expenditures of the teachers before and after joining their consumer cooperative; explain how cooperative membership enhances the teachers’ resource access and turns their capabilities into functionings; and discuss the problems being faced by the cooperative members. The needed data for the study were obtained through an online survey of 34 members of the cooperative and a face-to-face interview of 12 of their officials. The study found a significant difference between the estimated monthly consumption expenditures of the teachers before (M = 7,514.71, SD = 5,240.41) and after (M = 9,638.24, SD = 5,886.66) joining their cooperative; t = -11.43, p = 0.000. It suggests that cooperative membership has an effect on resource access, as indicated by the change in their estimated monthly consumption expenditures. The study also found that cooperative membership enhances the teachers’ resource access and turns their capabilities into functionings through the provision of meals, financial benefits, and collegial and moral support. The cooperative officials’ slow decision-making, competition from donor and school-managed canteens, and prohibition of sales outside the designated class breaks are the problems being faced by the teachers
