  • The current study aims to classify what determines entrepreneurial leadership among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the Saudi Arabian context. It also attempted to recognize the role played by entrepreneurial leadership by supporting SMEs in the nation's sustainable economic growth. The study is based on a primary survey administered among SMEs in the Riyadh region of Saudi Arabia. Overall, 152 responses were collected. However, after data cleaning, only 107 were found to be fit for final analysis. Structural Equation Modelling using SmartPLS® Software was applied for analysis. The findings emerged from the study immensely concluded that entrepreneurial leadership is an essential instrument for managers/owners of the SMEs sector who aim to improve the efficiency of tasks and contextual performance in Saudi Arabia. The study came across that "ability to absorb uncertainty," "ability to build commitment," "the ability to frame the Challenge," "the ability of path-clearing," and "ability to specify limits," are the five constructs that help frame the entrepreneurial leadership in the Saudi context. The study suggests that leadership trainers, SME policymakers must focus on precisely these skills to inculcate the ability of entrepreneurial leadership among Saudi entrepreneurs, SMEs owners, and managers.

  • Small ruminants form an important economic and ecological niche in small farm systems and agriculture. Their current low level of contribution is dismal, and is not commensurate with the potential capacity for higher levels of production. The context for productivity enhancement and increased socio-economic contribution relates to large sizes of small ruminant populations; wide distribution across various agro-ecological zones and production systems; and diversity of breeds, where 66% of all goat and 57% of sheep breeds in Asia are found in China, India and Pakistan. The advantages and disadvantages of small ruminants over larger ruminants are enumerated with reference to adaptation and environment, small size, production systems and products and interactions with the environment. Discussion focuses especially on efficiency of meat production and niche markets for higher-priced goat meat, and inefficient marketing systems given an estimated 40-45% loss of income to farmers presently. Increasing the quantity of meat produced is related to live weight and the total number of animals at Slaughter, which in turn, depend on the total number of offsprings weaned and lifetime productivity. At the national level, priority attention is essential to build up numbers in concerted breeding programmes, selection for efficiency of reproduction and meat production, and improvements to make traditional markets and marketing systems to respond to the changing environmental and consumer preferences. Post-production systems are neglected and improvements are associated with collection, handling, marketing, slaughter facilities and consumer requirements. Potential opportunities to expand and benefit from integrating small ruminants into annual and perennial cropping systems remain largely unexplored. Important development imperatives include choice of species and better use of available breeds, appropriate production systems that match available feed resources, and linkages between production, products and by-products to markets. Affirmative action is necessary, backed by official policy support, institutional commitment and increased resource use, that can target poverty and directly benefit the poor, and shift subsistence production to a more market-oriented opportunity. These efforts together constitute the challenges for both the owners and producers of small ruminants in the immediate future, as also the will to accelerate increased productivity, improve their livelihoods and promote rural growth.

  • This study aim to use the GTAP model to analyze the impact of RCEP Fermentation in the Korean manufacturing industry by quantifying the RCEP tariff commitment table. The research results show RCEP has boosted output in all sub-manufactures except wood and printed matter due to increased export volumes. Wood products, on the other hand, are more reliant on imports due to lower production due to lower domestic sales or overall exports. After RCEP came into effect, the import and export scale of Korea's manufacturing industry expanded effectively. Among them, the positive impact on the intensive low-tech manufacturing industries such as clothing and leather products, wood products and printing products, and food, beverage and tobacco products is greater than the positive impact on the technology-intensive medium and high-tech and high-tech manufacturing industries. And found that the growth rate of Korea's manufacturing trade is basically proportional to the tax reduction rate of RCEP. Finally, in order to promote the development of the manufacturing industry, some suggestions are put forward that need the government's policy support and strengthen the regional cooperation with RCEP member countries.

  • The college age is an important developmental stage for achieving personal growth through interaction with people. In this study, we analyze the impact of the level of nunchi awareness on the interpersonal skills and learning outcomes of college students majoring in aviation services. For analysis, a survey is conducted targeting college students majoring in aviation services attending universities in the metropolitan and Chungcheong areas. To test the research hypothesis, demographic characteristics are identified based on the questionnaire, the reliability and validity of the measurement items were verified, and structural equation model analysis was performed to verify the hypothesis. The analysis results are as follows. First, nunchi behavior, which is a sub-factor of nunchi recognition among college students in the Department of Aviation Service, is found to have a positive (+) effect on temperament of others, communication, and relationship promotion of interpersonal skills. However, the significance of the influence relationship between nunchi perception factors and interpersonal skills is not confirmed. Second, among the sub-factors of interpersonal skills, only temperament with others and communication are found to have a positive effect on major commitment. Based on the research results, we aim to present practical strategies for designing effective major learning and developing competencies related to the work environment.

  • This paper discussed motivation, some theories of motivation and motivation of library personnel. The most important aspect of any organization is its workforce. Motivation arouses, energizes, influences and sustains behaviour and performance of employees. Motivating factors include extrinsic factors which pertain to the conditions under which a job is performed and intrinsic motivators which contribute to job satisfaction and subsequently increase productivity. Two levels of motivation were identified in the library: the need-factor motivation and the profession-related motivation. Need-factor motivation is well-pronounced in the lower cadre of library staff such as library assistants, clerical staff, and porters who set their priority on economic needs. The profession-related motivation occurs among professionally trained librarians whose motivation hinges self-fulfillment derived from professional growth and development. Other motivating factor in the library is job design which includes job rotation, job enlargement, and job enrichment. Job design specifies the contents or methods of any job in such a way that various requirements of a job can be effectively satisfied. Adequate motivation of library employees lies with the managers because they generally control work distribution, freedom and autonomy, work challenge Remove, staff development and training, and advancement opportunities. The managers are urged to create enabling environment to ensure improved commitment, satisfaction, and productivity of employees in the library.

  • 본 연구의 첫 번째 목적은 불완전고용에 영향을 미치는 선행요인에 대해 살펴보는 것이고, 두 번째 목적은 불완전고용이 조직 적응에 미치는 영향을 살펴보는 것이다. 연구는 종단으로 설계되어 2회의 설문조사를 통해 자료가 수집되었으며, 1차 조사 시점에서 미취업 상태에 있었으나 2차 조사 시점에서는 재취업한 153명으로부터 자료를 얻었다. 불완전고용의 측정치는 임금, 사회적 지위, 기술활용도 및 고용형태변화의 차원에서 여섯 개의 측정치-'임금변화비(현재 임금/실직 전 임금)', '지위변화비(현재 직업지위/실직 전 직업지위)', '학력격차비(요구학력/실제학력)', '정규직에서 비정규직으로 고용형태가 변화했는지의 여부' 및 자기보고방식의 지각된 과잉자격 척도의 '성장가능성부재'와 '자격불일치' 요인-로 측정되었다. 먼저 불완전고용에 영향을 미치는 선행요인의 효과를 살펴보고자, 선행요인으로 인구통계변인(성별, 연령, 학력 및 실업기간), 상황변인(경제적 곤란도와 부양가족 수), 개인특성변인(구직효능감, 우울·불안, 잠재적 기능)을 설정하였다. 주요 결과로는 연령이 높을수록 임금과 지위는 하향 변화하였고, 경제적 곤란도가 높을수록 자신의 학력보다 낮은 학력이 요구되는 직업에 재취업하였으며, 부양가족 수가 많을수록 직업지위가 하향 변화하였다. 개인특성변인 중 실업기간 동안 취업의 잠재적 기능을 유지할수록, 성장가능성부재로 측정된 불완전고용의 가능성을 낮추었고, 구직효능감이 높은 경우에도 마찬가지 결과를 보였다. 실업기간 동안 우울·불안 수준이 높을수록 자신의 학력보다 낮은 학력이 요구되는 직업에 재취업할 가능성이 높아지는 것으로 나타났다. 다음으로 불완전고용이 직무-조직 적합도 지각, 조직몰입, 직무만족 및 이직의도로 측정된 조직 적응에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과 학력격차비 측면에서 불완전고용의 정도가 높을수록 개인-조직 적합도, 정서몰입 및 직무만족을 낮게 지각하였다. 또한 정규직에서 비정규직으로 변화할수록 정서몰입과 직무만족을 낮게 지각하였다. 그리고 성장가능성부재와 자격불일치는 조직 적응 전반에 걸쳐 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
