Faktor niat melakukan rasuah dan peranan etika kerja islam di kalangan kakitangan pihak berkuasa tempatan
Get PDFThis study seeks to identify the factors influencing corruption intention and the role of Etika Kerja Islam (EKI) among public servants of the Johor Local Authority. It uses the Model of Corrupt Action as the main reference in addition to the theory and model of ethical behaviour proposed by both the Islamic and the Western scholars. Most of past literature studies discuss the work ethics from the Western lens and very few studies observe work ethic from an Islamic perspective. In this regard, this study proposes EKI as the moderating variable in the relationship between the influencing factors and the intention to commit corruption. Civil servants in Johor State Local Authorities are used as the unit of analysis. Data was obtained quantitatively through distribution of questionnaires and qualitatively through expert interviews. Quantitative data were analyzed using Descriptive Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and qualitative data were analyzed by Themes and Patterns Analysis. The result shows that intention to commit corruption was influenced by internal factors and external factors. Internal factors include neglecting religious values and demands, selfish attitudes, luxury lifestyle demands beyond their ability and greed. External factors are the influence of family and colleagues, opportunities, out dated systems and unclear procedures, social factors and modernization factors. The complex relationship between the variables was analyzed by Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using quantitative data. In building a structural model, four measurement models known as internal factor model, external factor model, intention model and EKI model were evaluated before the models were combined to form developed model named as “Model Pencegahan Rasuah”. In the process of proving major hypotheses, SEM analysis and moderator analysis have been used. The results of the hypothesis test found that internal factors had significant influence on the intention to commit corruption, external factors had significant effect on the intention to commit corruption and EKI was a moderating variable on the relationship between Internal Factor and Intention to commit corruption. This developed model contributes in explaining the internal and external factors affecting the intentions to commit corruption and the role of EKI as a moderator through eight values which are taqwa, ihsan, amal saleh, al-Birr, al-Qist, masuliyyah, ma'ruf and itqan
Faktor-faktor dalaman yang mempengaruhi niat individu untuk mengamalkan rasuah di kalangan penjawat awam pihak berkuasa tempatan
Get PDFThis study aims to identify the internal factors that influence the intention to corrupt among the public servants of the Johor State Local Authority. Besides this study was also conducted to determine the influence of Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) towards the intention to commit a bribe. A total of 356 civil servants from PBT Johor participated in the survey. This study uses a questionnaire containing 13 items for internal factors and 35 items for Islamic Work Ethics. A pilot study was conducted on the questionnaire before being given to the respondent. The data obtained were analyzed quantitatively by using descriptive statistic. This study has been able to identify the internal factors that influence the intention to commit corruption ie neglecting religious values and demands, selfishness, luxury lifestyle demands beyond their ability and greed.This study has also achieved its goal in determining the influence of Islamic Work Ethics on the intention to commit corruption. There are eight principles of the IWE identified, namely Taqwa, Ihsan, Masuliyyah, al-Qist, Amal Saleh al-Birr, Ma'ruf and Itqan. Through the appreciation and implementation of the IWE will create civil servants who always act in accordance with the goal of getting God's pleasure, obeying all the rules and regulations that have been entrusted, establishing high commitment and sincerity and assurance that Allah always sees every action done. Therefore, the intent to commit corruption can be controlled so the behavior of corruption can be avoided
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
