Results: Then, the results showed that there is an affects between workload and work stress (questionnaire) (p=0.003), family-work conflict on work stress (questionnaire) (p=0.005), workload affects performance (p=0.001) work stress (cocorometer) affects performance (p=0.005), work stress (questionnaire) affects performance (p=0.004), while there is no effect between family-work conflict on work stress (questionnaire) (p=0, 802), workload has no effect on work stress (cocorometer) (p=0.696), work-family conflict has no effect on work stress (corometer) (p=0.570), family-work conflict has no effect on work stress (cocorometer) (p=0.433), work-family conflict has no effect on performance (p=0.357), and family-work conflict has no effect on performance (p=0.124). Based on the intervening test, the indirect effect of workload on performance through job stress is -0.080, the indirect effect of work-family conflict on performance through stress is 0.053 and the indirect effect of family-work conflict on performance through stress is -0.025.
Conclusion: In addition, there is a significant influence between workload and dual role conflict on performance through job stress. Further investigation is being conducted into additional variables that may affect performance other than the above independent variables. Implication of the research: This research can contribute to improving conflict management that can impact the quality of performance in the workplace. The results of this study can help employees and the general public by educating them about the elements that can lead to excessive workload, the occurrence of multiple role conflicts that can reduce the quality of worker performance.
Originality: This journal presents a study of workload, dual role conflict and work stress on performance in female lecturers at universities. considering that previous studies have only examined work stress using questionnaire measurement tools, there are additional work stress measurement tools so that they can be comparable This study discusses the effect of workload and dual role conflict on performance through work stress. The findings explain the importance of balancing workload with work as a lecturer and housewife in order to create quality performance
THE ROLE OF MONITORING AND EVALUATION AS A QUALITY CONTROL MECHANISM FOR EFFECTIVE GOVERNANCE: A SOUTH AFRICAN LOCAL GOVERNMENT PERSPECTIVE
No full textObjectives: The paper strongly emphasises how crucial it is to create monitoring and evaluation procedures that make greater use of monitoring and evaluation while also enhancing the prospects for the professional progress of its staff. Numerous towns are still having problems with poor service delivery. This begs the question of why, if monitoring and assessment are properly implemented, there are still frequent demonstrations about poor service delivery.
Methods: A theoretical analysis and a review of the literature are part of the research methodology. The Afrocentric, Collaborative, and Theory of Change theories are useful bases to build upon and provide the conceptual frameworks for the analysis in this paper. Systematic analysis is performed on data gathered from a variety of sources, such as scholarly journals, books, government reports, and pertinent publications.
Results:The study’s findings suggested that there is a skills gap in the monitoring and evaluation field, necessitating the need for monitoring and evaluation experts to enhance their knowledge and abilities to meet the needs of the next generation.
Conclusion: The paper concludes by supporting the South African Constitution which requires all branches of government to provide the people of South Africa with high-quality services. Poor service delivery calls into question South African municipalities’ use of monitoring and evaluation as control mechanisms for an effective governance management tool. None of the strategic objectives of municipalities can be accomplished if municipal administrations perform poorly and their monitoring and evaluation capabilities are not used adequately. Because human resource capacities directly affect monitoring and evaluation’s effectiveness, public institutions must be developed through modernising these processes and enhancing their effectiveness

PROTECTION AND JUSTICE CONCEPTS FOR MEMBERS OF INDONESIAN POLICE AS NARCOTICS ABUSERS IN LINE WITH STATE OF LAW
No full textBackground: Drug or narcotic abuse is not only perpetrated by ordinary people but is often experienced by police officers. The law enforcement process applied to the public is generally different from the victims of abuse among police officers. People are more often rehabilitated, but police officers tend to resign disrespectfully. The law used is the same as the Law Number 35, 2009 on Narcotic. The non-treatment of the principle of equality before the law attracts a comprehensive study.
Objective: The study aims to study and analyze justice for the victims of drug abuse police.
Theoretical framework: To further consolidate the position and the implementation of Polri's duties as an integral part of the reform, the Police has been unified in Act No. 2 of 2002 on the Police of the Republic of Indonesia which sets out the functions, purposes, roles, arrangements, positions, membership, and formation of the profession. Particularly related to the training of the profession is regulated in Articles 31 to 36 which state that the official of the National Police of the Republic of Indonesia in carrying out their duties and authority must have the ability of the professional through the training profession. The foreign regulation relating to the Disrespectful Cessation of Drug Abuse is inconsistent with the Narcotics Act because it does not treat the general public equally with the police. It is advised to the police chief that the police officers who have committed drug abuse be rehabilitated so that they can return to being good human beings and free from drug use.
Method: This research uses a method of normative jurisprudence with the primary legal sources of the Narcotic Drugs Act and Police Regulation Number 7 of 2022. Secondary legal materials are obtained through books, journals, and research results

THE IMPACT OF ATTITUDE AND SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING ON GREEN PURCHASE INTENTIONS: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF GREEN PRODUCT KNOWLEDGE
No full textObjectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between attitudes, social marketing media, green product knowledge, and green purchase intentions in the context of bottled mineral water consumption. Specifically, the objectives are to assess how consumer attitudes influence green product knowledge, how social marketing media impacts consumer knowledge, and how these factors collectively affect green purchase intentions.
Methods: The study focused on people in the Bandung, West Java, area who buy and drink bottled mineral water. Questionnaires were sent both offline and online as part of the data collection process. The SmartPLS tool was used to analyze the gathered data, enabling a thorough investigation of the correlations between the variables under investigation.
Results: The results showed that customer attitudes toward green products were positively correlated with improved knowledge about green products, which in turn led to a stronger propensity to buy green products—bottled mineral water, in particular. Additionally, the research showed that social media marketing is a major factor in raising consumer awareness of green bottled mineral water goods, which in turn influences consumers to choose ecologically friendly options when making purchases.
Conclusion: This study provides valuable insights for companies seeking to promote and increase the sales of green products, particularly bottled mineral water. By understanding and leveraging consumer attitudes and implementing effective social media marketing strategies, companies can not only enhance consumer knowledge but also stimulate their interest and propensity to purchase green products. These findings highlight the importance of aligning marketing efforts with consumer preferences and environmental concerns in today's competitive marketplace
THE ALGERIAN COMPETITION COUNCIL: A DE FACTO JURISDICTION
No full textObjective: The aim of this study is precisely to show and/or demonstrate the quasi-judicial character of the competition council, as a fully independent authority with all that it implies, particularly in terms of dealing with anti-competitive and/or restrictive practices of competition.
Method: To address the issue stated in this study, it seemed necessary to opt for an analytical research approach on all legal texts surrounding the relevance of the theme, and whenever necessary, to partially shift towards a comparative study between Algerian law (domestic law) and French law, notably to highlight certain similarities and/or specificities.
Result: The Algerian Competition Council is an autonomous administrative authority that acts on behalf and for the account of the State to enforce competition rules. It has legal personality and financial autonomy. It is placed under the Minister responsible for trade without being under their supervision. This all serves to confirm its absolute independence. Indeed, this authority is endowed with the power of sanction, with all that implies. Therefore, unquestionably, the Competition Council (without going through a competent jurisdiction de jure) sanctions restrictive or anti-competitive practices and settles disputes in this regard. In this context, the competition authority appears as an economic judiciary, distinguished by its own means, especially quasi-judicial ones: since the ability to impose sanctions, this imperium certainly gives it the character of a judiciary, or even a de facto jurisdiction: both in its form (referring to Delegating Jurisdiction to the Competition Council), and also in its content (referring to the "quasi-judicial" procedural process of administrative enforcement)
EFFECT OF SUBNATIONAL PUBLIC EXPENDITURE ON STATES’ FISCAL SUSTAINABILITY IN NIGERIA
No full textObjectives: The study examined the effect of subnational public expenditure on states’ fiscal sustainability in Nigeria. Specifically, the study examined the effect of capital expenditure and recurrent expenditure on states’ fiscal sustainability in Nigeria.
Methods Ex-post facto research design was adopted to carry out the research for the period 2016-2022. The panel data were collected and sourced from Audited Financial Statements of subnational, CBN statistical Bulletin, CBN Annual report and accounts, other CBN publications, publications of the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), and Ministry of Finance (MOF) Medium Term Fiscal Framework and other publications of 36 states. Panel regression was used to analyse the hypothesis significant effect between subnational public expenditure and states’ fiscal sustainability in Nigeria with the aid of E-views 12.
Results: The study found that capital expenditure has a significant effect on states’ fiscal sustainability in Nigeria. The study also found that recurrent expenditure negatively affects states’ fiscal sustainability in Nigeria.
Conclusion: The study recommends that the state governments of Nigeria should adhere strictly to the implementation of capital expenditure so as to increase the level of infrastructural and productive base in Nigeria which will have the capacity to stimulate economic growth and create employment. Also, state governments should decrease spending, particularly regarding recurrent expenditure, to reduce the cost of governance in the country. This is because our results indicated that an increase in government recurrent expenditure reduces the level of the sustainability index
