The Professionalism of Tax Advisors In Indonesia Through Football Tournament Analogy in the Context of Social Contract Theory
Authors: Rimawati Yuni , Tjaraka Heru
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of this study is to provide a new understanding of the behavior of tax advisers in Indonesia based on their awareness as citizens and professionals. By analogizing it with a football tournament, we used social contract theory as a theoretical lens and professional ethics.
 
Theoretical framework: Social contract theory is used to explore the professionalism of tax consultants in balancing the interests of themselves, their clients, and the state in Indonesia through the analogy of a soccer tournament. Tax is one of the obligations of citizens towards the state. In addition, in the opinion of Thomas Hobbes, the theory of social contracts in professional communities requires professional membership, and failure to do so can be punished by law.
 
Design/methodology/approach: This is done with interpretive approach by the discussion storytelling flow method.  This study reconstructs routine interactions between tax advisers, clients, and tax authorities with football tournaments to make it easier for informants to explain their professionalism.
 
Findings:  Recent legislation in Indonesia concerning professional tax services has yet to regulate tax advisors' rights and obligations comprehensively. That leads to competitive rivalries but tends to break the rules among tax advisors. Tax advisors compare their professionalism to that of "coaches" of taxpayers in the football tournament against the tax authorities. The informants still believe in tax authorities, especially the tax court, and maintain fair play under normal circumstances. Even though tax advisors can raise citizen awareness by providing tax compliance education and prioritizing clients, they continue to serve clients who engage in tax-aggressive behavior.  The consequences of business operations, professional awareness as a citizen, culture, and religious dogmas are the restriction of commercialization of tax advisors' professionalism.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications:  The most significant consideration of tax advisors to provide advice and advisor is economical and legal considerations. The findings can be a consideration by an authority authorized to regulate the profession of tax consultants and tax academics.
 
Originality/value:  This study investigated the perceptions of the professionalism of tax advisors and their awareness as citizens through the social contract theory lens and reconstructed it with football tournaments.

Authors: Arunachalam Rajeswari , Venugopal Pulidindi
Published: June 2023

Purpose: Working mothers are leading several industries, and they strive to balance work and family. Mothers at work face their biggest challenges and live with constant guilt when they leave their children. Due to this stressful lifestyle, working mothers struggle to regulate their emotional health and may exhaust themselves, breakdown, or burnout. They can manage this chaos with mindfulness. Working mothers need mindfulness to stay sane. Mindfulness protects against stress, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues and improves human functioning and quality of life as well.
 
Theoretical framework: Working mothers need mindfulness to stay sane. Mindfulness protects against stress, depression, anxiety and other mental health issues and improves human functioning and quality of life as well.

Authors: Masianoga Eleck Shabani , Govender Krishna Kistan
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The aim of this explanatory study was to critically understand how ethical leadership impacts employee creative behaviour as well as the creative behaviour dimensions, in a South African transport and logistics State Owned Enterprise.
 
Theoretical framework: Leaders set the tone which has a major effect on the organizational climate and the organizational approach and the moral facet of leadership is significant because of the leader’s impact on employees and organizational conduct. Thus, this study is underpinned by the style of leadership which is ethical, since the autocratic style is often seen as lacking ethical conduct.
 
Method: The quantitative method was chosen since a deductive approach was needed to interpret the data. The target population comprised middle and executive managers representing the leaders and low-level managers representing followers and referred to as the employees. Although a sample of 348 employees (followers) was generated using the Raosoft (2004) sample size calculator. The data from 160 respondents comprising managers and employees was collected using predeveloped questionnaires. and analysed through structural equation modelling and multiple regression techniques conducted with the Smart PLS statistical software. The reliability of the research instrument was measured using Cronbach tests, and composite reliability.  Validity was also confirmed using lower-order and higher-order construct validity tests.
 
Results and conclusion: It was confirmed that ethical leadership has a significant positive influence on employee creative behaviour, as well as with each of the creative behaviour dimensions namely: idea exploration, idea generation, and idea championing.
 
Originality/value: The influence of ethical leadership on employee creative behaviour in South African SOEs is also not fully understood and large private corporates and government entities have been rocked by corporate governance scandals, resulting in the call for ethical leadership to save companies from collapse and astounding costs from a financial, social and human perspective. No research was conducted on the topic in South African state-owned enterprises and thus the new knowledge generated would contribute to improving leadership and making the enterprises more innovative and thus improve performance.

Purpose: Corruption still becomes a serious problem in Indonesia in the decentralization era. This paper aims at providing a comprehensive empirical examination regarding the effect of internal control system weaknesses on corruption in Indonesian local governments (LGs).
 
Theoretical framework: By drawing the concept from the fraud theories and agency theory, the study explores the internal control weaknesses as corruption determinants in LGs.
 
Design/methodology/approach:  We use secondary data from the related regulating bodies in Indonesia during 2010-2018 fiscal period from 508 LGs with total of 4530 observations, analyzed with panel data regression.
 
Findings:  Our findings suggest that the corruption in Indonesian LGs has not experienced significant decrease during the observation period. The internal control system implementation also still has significant weaknesses that has not improved from 2010-2018. Our analysis demonstrates that internal control weakness positively affects corruption. Further analysis also reveals that all internal control weakness element also has positive effect on corruption, both the weaknesses in the budget, revenue, and expenditure administration, the weaknesses in accounting and financial reporting, and the structure weaknesses.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: Based on the research findings, our study emphasizes that the internal control system implementation in Indonesian LGs needs urgent improvement to support the prevention of corruption in local level. The policymakers are required to take strategic efforts for internal control system reform in the LGs to reduce the likelihood of corruption by irresponsible local authorities.

Authors: Al-Qaisi Dhahir Abbas
Published: June 2023

Purpose: The research aims to verify whether or not the production and marketing managers in Iraqi public companies (research sample) use the contemporary quantitative methods (operations research). The present research draws the attention on these managers to explain their importance and impact in choosing the best decision alternatives that respond to environmental complexities (economic, social, technical, and even political) that took place after the events of 2003.
 
Theoretical Framework: The use of quantitative methods is seen as a criterion for the validity of decisions to be taken before implementation, which requires managers to think seriously about the importance and impact of these methods in reaching sound decisions, which raise economic efficiency and productivity, and improve the financial position of the company in its markets and among its competitors.
 
Design/Methodology: The research community consists of (3) general industrial companies, as a sample chosen by the researcher to represent the Iraqi industry. And because the research problem is one of the existing and chronic problems in the Iraqi industry, therefore, the time series of the research included length of the economic life of the three companies.
 
Findings: The results of the research showed that the industrial companies (the research sample) did not use quantitative methods in the past and in the present in decision-making processes, whether productive, marketing or other decisions, the researcher did not find any interest in the economic nature of the decisions taken. Therefore, we recommend attracting analysts and specialists in economics and management sciences to be a nucleus for the establishment of a central supporting unit that uses quantitative methods in the field of decision-making.
 
Research, Practical & Social Implications: The research dealt with the issue of using quantitative methods in a sample of public industrial sector companies, and clarified its important role in making more objective decisions of an economic nature that works to reduce the randomness of dealing with local markets, the cases of uncertainty, and the economic and social benefits that can be provided to the companies themselves. And for members of society and those who deal with it.
 
Originality/ Value: The originality of the research is embodied in the investigation of whether quantitative methods are used or not by organizing survey lists that were distributed to production and marketing managers in industrial companies (the research sample) to answer them, which is a precedent that has not occurred before in the Iraqi industry.

Published: June 2023

Purpose: The main purpose of this study is to analyse the performance of mutual funds using Risk- Return Relationship Models.
 
Theoretical framework: One of India's most important financial intermediaries, mutual funds can provide a wide range of financial services to small and large investors. They are also involved in the country's transformation, and their market participation has become more important. Evaluating a mutual fund's performance concerns investors, researchers, and fund managers. It should be conducted in a way that helps investors make informed decisions and maximize returns. A regular evaluation of a fund's performance is also essential for investors.
 
Design/methodology/approach: The performance of 12 growth-oriented mutual funds has been evaluated using three Risk Adjusted performance measures, namely the Treynor index, Sharpe index, and Jensen measure. Treynor Index, developed by Treynor and Mazuy (1966), defined the measure as the ratio of returns to systematic Risk (Beta). The higher the ratio better the performance. Sharpe Index, developed by Sharpe (1964) defined as the ratio of returns to the variability of returns. Jensen's measure (Jensen 1968) regresses excess fund return with the excess market return. Monthly data was used during the period from Jan 2015 to Dec 2019. Further monthly returns of 12 diversified Equity mutual funds were compared with the returns of the B.S.E.( Bombay Stock Exchange) national index during the same period.
 
Findings:  It is identified from the results that the mutual funds have not performed better than their benchmark indicators except the ICICI Multi-asset fund and HDFC mid-cap opportunity fund in terms of a non-risk adjusted measure of the average returns as well as in terms of Risk-adjusted performance measures.
 
Research, Practical & Social implications: Fund houses, Fund managers, researchers, and mutual fund investors can benefit more from a strong risk management foundation. It can help them make informed decisions and maximize their returns.
 
Originality/value: This study differs from past studies because it examined the risk-adjusted performance of a few mutual funds, which ultimately may use by investors and policymakers to enhance the returns in these funds.

Futbol gənclərin inkişafına, fiziki keyfiyyətlərinin yüksəldilməsinə, yaradıcılıq, tapşırığa məsuliyyət, əzmkarlıq kimi mühüm xarakter xüsusiyyətlərinin formalaşmasına töhfə verir. Bu, əlbəttə ki, çox vacibdir. Belə keyfiyyətlərə malik olan insan cəmiyyətə böyük fayda gətirməyə qadirdir. Aparıcı futbol ekspertlərinin və məşqçilərinin yekdil fikrinə görə, qapıçı futbol komandasının əsas bünövrəsidir. Komandanın fəaliyyəti daha çox onun oyun səviyyəsindən asılıdır. Qapıçının komandanın oyununa verdiyi böyük əhəmiyyət və töhfə onun hazırlığının metodologiyasına artan tələblər qoyur. Futbolda qapıçıların yetişdirilməsində müəyyən empirik təcrübə toplanıb, bu təcrübə indiyədək az tədqiq edilib.

Bu aspektdə nəticələrə əsasən 13-14 yaşlı qapıçılar üçün qeyri-ənənəvi texniki təlim proqramının hazırlanması ilə rəqabət fəaliyyətinin strukturunun öyrənilməsi bu işin əsas və aktual istiqaməti olub, böyük praktiki və nəzəri maraq doğurur.

Məqalədə idman praktikası üçün aktual olan tibbi-bioloji bərpa vasitələrinin idmançı orqanizminə intensiv fiziki yüklərdən sonra fiziki iş qabiliyyətinin bərpasına və yüksəldilməsinə təsir edən vasitələrə aid müasir dövrün elmi-tədqiqat işlərinin təhlili əksini tapmışdır. Son dövrlərdə tükəndirici məşqlərdən və yarışlardan sonra idmançıların bərpasında qeyri-medikamentoz vasitəllərdən istifadə geniş sürət aldığından, tibbi-bioloji vasitə kimi idman masajından, xüsusilə də, bərpa masajından istifadə etməklə idmançılarda iş qabiliyyətinin yüksəlməsinə nail olmaq mümkündür. Bunun üçün mövcud metodikaların tətbiqinin pedaqoji cəhətdən əsaslandırılması müəyyən qədər öyrənilsə də, tibbi-bioloji istiqamətdə araşdırmalar aparılmışdır. Bundan əlavə bərpaedici masajın idmançı orqanizminə təsiri ilə bağlı metodika daim təkmilləşdiyindən, onun orqanizmdə, onun funksional vəziyyətində, fiziki iş qabiliyyətində yaratdığı müsbət dəyişiliklərin bərpaya və fiziki iş qabiliyyətinin səviyyəsinə təsiri idman məşqinin praktikasında mühüm əhəmiyyət daşıyır. Mövcud ədəbiyyatların təhlilindən o da məlum olmuşdur ki, idman masajı ilə yanaşı kontrans və klassik masajı uyğunlaşdıraraq tətbiq olunması idmançıların sağlamlığına, orqanizmin möhkəmlənməsinə, fiziki keyfiyyətlərin inkişafına və iş qabiliyyətinə müsbət təsir göstərir, orqanizmin adaptasiya imkanlarını genişləndirir.
THE IMPACT OF THE CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS ON SOVIET MIDDLE EASTERN POLICY. HOW IT LED TO THE SIX-DAY WAR, 1967

The widespread perception of the “Caribbean” crisis as a setback for the Soviet Union overlooks the major achievement that Moscow did score. This was Khrushchev’s success – which, unfortunately for his future in the Soviet leadership, he agreed to the Kennedys’ demand not to publicize – to gain the withdrawal of American Jupiter missiles from Turkey. But within three years, the joint French-Israeli development of nuclear weapons and missile delivery systems threatened to plug the gap that had thus been created in the ring of nuclear-armed western pacts that were the subject of perennial Soviet fears. Documents and memoirs that surfaced in the early years after the USSR’s collapse, cross-checked against US and Israeli sources, reveal this motivation for, and the hitherto unknown features of, the Soviets’ response when in late 1965 an authoritative informant confirmed that despite domestic political change and US pressure, Israel was about to cross the nuclear threshold. This added urgency to Moscow’s regional considerations in favor of supporting an Arab attack on Israel, and produced what was in several respects a mirror-image of the Cuban affair. A joint plan was developed with Egypt, to provoke an Israeli first strike that would legitimize Soviet military intervention to “aid the victims of aggression” and ensure Israel’s defeat. The provocations included overflights of Israel’s nuclear facility by advanced Soviet aircraft; the intervention was to include targeting of the facility by Soviet strategic bombers. This plan’s fiasco in the Six-Day War of June 1967 shaped the Middle East as well as Soviet policy there for decades to come, as an indirect but distinct consequence of the Cuban crisis
