Tourists will have a significant impact on these purchases and sales as a result of these well-designed and eye-catching advertising that appear and care about marketing. The general public services should provide the relevant details regarding the tourist destination as well as the amenities and services provided to them. Tourists will gain from participating in this tourism program; completing this task will not be unpleasant because it is a service. Tourism, unlike other things, is not always available, the items supplied to visitors cost more than that amount of money. The price of the services and the tourism sergeant will undoubtedly satisfy the visitors. Here, the visitor must return many than once in order for us to have a nice guest and also become a market catalyst for unpaid warm marketing. Previously, spreading the word about a place was done by "word of mouth," which meant telling friends to visit, but now we are all on the same scope. With the strength and effectiveness of the marketing campaign for visitors, we shouldn't lose sight of the importance of an honest letter or marketing campaign that accurately describes the amenities and services offered by an institution or service provider.

A SOLAR CELL-BASED INVERTER WITH IMPROVED BATTERY LIFE FOR INDUCTION MOTOR
Authors: Das Samomoy
Published: January 2024

This paper deals with the design and prototype development of an inverter to feed AC power to an induction motor coupled with a submersible pump. In this type of load, input power is proportional to the cube of the speed. The inverter is fed from a 48 V rechargeable battery, which is charged through the solar panel. Four numbers of the solar panel each of 165 W, 12 V rated are used for charging the battery. The basic intention of this research work is to start an induction motor with lower voltage and lower frequency, keeping v/f constant, such that the starting current is low. This concept can be utilized to run a submersible pump in a remote area where there is no electric power supply or where there is a problem in the distribution system. Submersible pumps are normally operated for a small interval (60 to 180 min). This energy can be supplied by a 48 V, 75 Amp-Hour Lead Acid type rechargeable battery. The experiment has been conducted with a Lead acid battery but the Lithium Ion battery gives better performance. The solar panel (cell) is used to charge the battery for around 8 hours from morning and with the fully charged battery, the pump is run through an inverter for a time of around 150 min. An inverter has been designed to run a 1 hp induction motor coupled with a submersible pump. The motor is started with low voltage with v/f control. Gradually the full voltage is applied and the motor runs at the rated speed. After an operation of a preset time, the motor is stopped. With VVVF drive the battery life has increased compared to a Direct online starter.

Authors: Layous Alhasnawi Mohammad Kaisb
Published: January 2024

Digital image processing and enhancement is one of the most important and frequently used issues in many fields of image processing. When handling images or sending them over a particular channel, they are subject to certain noise and require filtering methods. In this paper, the parametric confidence interval algorithm was compared to the nonparametric confidence interval algorithm for processing the noisy images. The results showed that a nonparametric confidence interval algorithm is better at defining the external parameters of an image in terms of noise elimination and enhancement landmarks.
A STUDY ON WOMEN ATTENDING GYNAECOLOGY OUTPATIENT DEPARTMENT UNDERGOING PAP SMEAR EXAMINATION AND FOLLOW-UP OF ABNORMAL PAP SMEAR USING COLPOSCOPY
Authors: Biswas Basu Bidisha
Published: January 2024

Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. In 2018, an estimated 570,000 women were diagnosed with cervical cancer worldwide and about 311,000 women died from the disease. It is the most common genital cancer among women in India. Pap smear is very useful in detecting abnormal cells and colposcopy locates the abnormal lesion when pap smear is abnormal. The objective of the study is to evaluate the women coming to the Gynaecology Outpatient Department undergoing pap smear and follow-up of abnormal smear using colposcopy. 103 women in the age group of 26-75(50.29+2.56) years who attended the gynecology outpatient department (GOPD)at a tertiary care teaching hospital in central Kerala with various clinical symptoms were screened by pap smear testing over two weeks. The smear was obtained using an Ayre spatula and it was spread over a glass slide which was placed in 95% ethyl alcohol in a coplin Jar. It was then sent to the department of pathology for cytopathological examination followed up using colposcopy and biopsy was done in the cases with abnormal colposcopy. Among these women,46.6 percentage have a normal pap smear 47.6% have an abnormal smear, and 5. 8 % have an atrophic smear. Among abnormal smear 4.8% are ASCUS, 1.9% LSIL, 0.97% SCC, 0.97% high-grade adenocarcinoma, and 37.86% inflammatory smears. As per International guidelines, women with abnormal pap smear tests should undergo colposcopy and those with abnormal colposcopy findings should undergo biopsy. Awareness about cancer should be increased and women should be motivated to undergo screening.
Developing Fuel Efficiency and CO2 Emission Maps of a Vehicle Engine Based on the On-Board Diagnostic (OBD) Approach
Authors: Rosero Obando Fredy , Rosero Xavier , Mera Zamir
Published: January 2024

A vehicle interacts with the road, other vehicles, and traffic control devices in real traffic conditions. The level of traffic influences driving patterns and, consequently, this can affect the vehicle´s fuel efficiency and emissions. This study aims to develop engine maps of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for a light vehicle operating under real traffic conditions. A representative passenger vehicle of the Ecuadorian vehicle fleet, powered by gasoline, was selected for the experimental campaign that was developed on a test route designed according to real driving emission (RDE) regulation. An on-board diagnostic (OBD) device was used for recording in real-time engine and vehicle operating parameters. Moreover, CO2 emissions were estimated using the fuel rate registered from the OBD system of the vehicle This study proposed a novel methodology for developing two-dimensional contour engine maps based on OBD data.  The result showed that the vehicle engine operated in real traffic conditions with a brake thermal efficiency (BTE) of 27%, a brake-specific fuel consumption (BSFC) of 275 g/kWh, and a carbon dioxide (CO2) energy-emission factor of 716 g/kWh. In terms of distance, the CO2 emission factor for the tested vehicle was approximately 190 g/km. Overall, this study demonstrates that the OBD approach is a potential method to be used to assess the fuel consumption and emissions of a vehicle operating under real-world traffic conditions, especially in Latin American countries, where portable emission measurement systems (PEMS) are not readily available.

Published: January 2024

Increasing concerns over the environmental impact of chemical pesticides have prompted the exploration of alternative, and eco-friendly solutions for controlling insect pests. The use of entomopathogenic fungus (EPF) as a biological control agent is of paramount importance. We aimed to investigate the effect of different concentrations of Metarhizium anisopliae (Metschnikoff) Sorokin on larval mortality and pupal formation, of sawfly larvae, a major pest of rose plants. Our study revealed a concentration-dependent effect of M. anisopliae on sawfly larvae. At 7 days after EPF exposure, the highest concentration (1 × 109 conidia/ml) led to a mortality rate of 65.0% and at the 11th day, the larval mortality was reached up to 82.5%. The highest EPF concentration resulted in a minimal pupal formation (7.5%). This study demonstrates the potential of M. anisopliae as a valuable biological control agent against sawfly larvae infestations in rose plants.

Published: January 2024

This investigation was a case of study in the powder detergent packaging line and aimed to reduce all those wastes that do not add value to the product, increasing the cost of production. Reducing or eliminating waste within the manufacturing industry becomes necessary for sustainable businesses over time and keeps generating development. To achieve it, the Lean Six Sigma DMAIC methodology was implemented in a detergent powder packaging line, to identify the problems that afflicted and made production more expensive. By using quality tools (such as Pareto and Ishikawa diagrams, 5S application, Poka-Yokes, SMED, training personnel, and standardizing processes) it was possible to reduce unproductive times. Energy consumption was reduced by up to 20 %, also efficiency and machine availability increased by 10.98 % and 7.32 %, respectively. The general performance of the line increased by 15.16 %, which translates into significant monthly savings of USD 71 442.05. By applying these improvement techniques, the most significant efficiency was registered in 1 kg packages, going from 47 % to 89 %, approximately. To maintain this productivity and even to perfect it, it is necessary to hire specialized personnel who know the production processes and industrial operations.

Se concluye que, la calidad de vida está relacionada con la calidez emocional y la sobrecarga, y los perfiles de parentalidad varían según el tipo de discapacidad. Respecto al perfil, los cuidadores de personas con discapacidad intelectual presentan mayor control, mientras que los cuidadores de personas con autismo muestran mejor calidad de vida en términos de relaciones sociales y ambiente.
The Sweden Democrats and the Twitterstorm of the decade – from social media to riot through a rhetorical vision
Authors: Hietanen Mika
Published: January 2024

Amidst the European migrant crisis, a provocative advertisement campaign by the far-right party the Sweden Democrats was destroyed by a mob. No other campaign in Sweden had attracted a similar amount of attention and resentment. This qualitative case study analyses the activism rhetoric that caused the ‘Twitterstorm’ of the decade. Through a fantasy theme analysis, it determines how the protesters defended their anti-racist rhetorical vision. Action themes connected to fantasy types and symbolic cues provoked the Twittersphere, leading activists to destroy the campaign, transcending the virtual for the physical. This event is a paradigm case for rhetorical-political social media activism and gives insight into how the SD’s provocative rhetoric functions.
Mikroteksty nauczycieli – analiza pragmatyczno-retoryczna
Authors: Wileczek Anna
Published: January 2024

W artykule przeprowadzono analizę pragmatyczną wypowiedzi – mikrotekstów – określanych mianem: powiedzonka/ powiedzenia/ teksty nauczycieli, które są rozpoznawalne przez nieprofesjonalnych użytkowników języka jako przejawy społecznego stylu komunikacyjnego, tzw. mówienia po nauczycielsku. Te realizacje językowe, wyróżniane ze względu na potencjał ludyczno-dydaktyczny, spełniają prymarną funkcję perswazyjnego oddziaływania na uczniów. Można wśród nich wyodrębnić nie tylko specyficzne akty mowy, ale również wyróżnić chwyty erystyczne, które pozwalają wygrać w transakcyjnej grze. Dyskurs szkolny, będący przykładem retoryki dominacji, przyczynia się zarówno do nieustannej inkubacji, jak i replikacji tego typu mikrotekstów.
« Quelque chose d’inaudible à propos d’un prophète et d’un hamster » : le terrorisme à la Mathias Énard
Authors: Fontaine Kathryne
Published: January 2024

Dans Fanaticism: The Uses of an Idea (2010), Alberto Toscano dénonce la tendance actuelle à qualifier de « fanatique » tout comportement extrémiste, voire d’entêtement sur des questions sociales. Notre époque semble résolue à « écraser l’infâme », à poursuivre le noble combat entamé au XVIII e siècle contre l’intolérance, croisade toutefois bancale car fondée sur une vision réductrice que l’Occident se fait du danger qui la guette. Aveuglée par ce que Slavoj Žižek nomme la violence visible et subjective – par exemple celle d’un attentat à la bombe –, l’époque contemporaine négligerait de considérer la violence systémique, conséquence désastreuse du fonctionnement de nos systèmes économiques et politiques, ceux-là en grande partie, comme le rappelle Toscano, hérités des Lumières. Ce sont ces forces sournoises mais dominantes que Mathias Énard démasque dans son Bréviaire des artificiers (2007), récit autodérisoire de 113 pages qui cherche, dans un concentré de références littéraires et politiques évoquant autant Virgile, Pascal, Hugo et Flaubert que Proudhon, Mao, Ben Laden et Kadhafi, à « éveiller les masses » abruties par la télévision et les actualités qui tendent à laisser penser que la principale menace à la paix séculaire de notre société s’incarne dans la figure du kamikaze ou du tueur de masse. Récupérant l’esthétique d’un conte voltairien et la dialectique maître-esclave hégélienne, et rappelant sur le ton érudico-ironique propre à Énard la genèse des fanatismes contemporains, ce « manuel de terrorisme à l’usage des débutants » contribue, par un volte-face que seul peut-être le permet une œuvre littéraire, non pas à parfaire la formation de l’individu subversif cherchant à « secouer le joug ancillaire », mais à décrire le climat global de peur et d’insécurité engendré par un terrorisme plus insidieux qu’explosif et à enseigner, à ceux susceptibles d’en bénéficier, les moyens de perpétuer ce monde bâti sur les artifices.
Mémoire et littérature : la trace mémorielle et le souvenir de la traite des Noirs dans « La Trace : Agouzou femme esclave » de Monique Arien-Carrère
Authors: Pemangoyi Leyika Aubain
Published: January 2024

Le discours littéraire permet d’explorer le passé pour mieux comprendre le présent et préparer l’avenir. Il remémore les événements du passé en proie à la disparition, rend hommage aux tribulations des ancêtres et lie passé et présent. La question de la mémoire et le désir de sa transmission occupent une place considérable dans la littérature contemporaine. Ainsi la question de la mémoire et la volonté de se souvenir s’avèrent omniprésents dans le roman « La Trace : Agouzou femme esclave » de l’écrivaine antillaise Monique Arrien-Carrère publié en 2021. À travers un dispositif narratif polyphonique, il réinterroge l’histoire de l’esclavage colonial, matrice de l’imaginaire antillais pour se souvenir. Cette rétrospection permet de déchiffrer dans l’esclavage des Noirs les éléments nécessaires à la construction mémorielle familiale ou collective et à l’interprétation et la compréhension de la société antillaise. Car le retour en arrière tel qu’envisagé par l’auteure permet de mieux comprendre les configurations du présent, d’avoir une conscience historique et d’entretenir la réminiscence du passé de la traite des Noirs dans l’univers antillais. Notre étude s’intéresse au récit de la mémoire dans le roman d'Arien-Carrère. Elle s'appuie tout d’abord sur l’analyse historique,puis sur l’aspect socio-anthropologique en établissant le rapport entre le passé et le présent.
Charles Lévesque, entre les genres Luc Bonenfant, Université du Québec à Montréal
Authors: Bonenfant Luc
Published: January 2024

Cet article aborde l’œuvre de Charles Lévesque (1817-1859) à partir de l’idée d’une « étiologie de l’oubli » afin de faire l’hypothèse d’une liminarité constitutive où jouent des ressorts esthétiques et formels lui permettant de se décentrer par rapport aux enjeux consacrés de la littérature canadienne-française d’alors. Lue à partir de ses jeux formels et rythmiques tout autant que depuis la singularité de sa voix, l’œuvre de Lévesque montre en effet son originalité pleine, alors qu’elle se situe entre les genres (ce mot étant entendu tout autant au sens de « catégorie littéraire » que du « genre sexué »).

Published: January 2024

This study examines the techniques used by ESP Math lecturers, the challenges they have in providing ESP learning materials, how they overcome these challenges, and the implications for ESP design. This study employed a qualitative research design by interviewing five ESP Mathematics lecturers teaching at STKIP PGRI Sidoarjo in the 2022-2023 academic year. 15 items of interview guidelines were prepared to gain a deeper understanding of what respondents have done in implementing the techniques of teaching ESP for Mathematics. The data were then examined using an interactive analysis process. The survey found that several of the lecturers had issues with vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and speaking fluency. The instructors overcame the obstacles by working together with other instructors and studying from printed and digital resources to better their command of the English language. Additionally, they utilized a web-based learning management system to aid in their education and facilitate the creation of instructional materials. It meant that the development of ESP for math educators had to concentrate on four areas: vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, and fluency. The ESP curriculum might be developed using any number of platforms, including ones that cater to linguistics and mathematics.

Published: January 2024

Fundamental karate movement techniques (Kihon) are taught to students. Karate's fundamental techniques consist of blocks, strikes, jabs, and kicks. Karate novices are required to master kihon, or fundamental techniques, from which further training is derived. The effect of rigid and repetitive training methods on students is one of boredom and saturation. A method employed to enhance students' proficiency in kihon is the utilization of visual media. The objective of this study is to compare the impact of video media and poster image learning in high-concentration and low-concentration groups on the Kihon ability of SMPN 23 Pekanbaru extracurricular karate students.The experimental methodology utilized in this investigation is a 2x2 factorial experimental design. The study's population comprises 60 pupils enrolled in extracurricular karate at SMPN 23 Pekanbaru. The sample consisted of 16 students, which were divided into two groups. The data were analyzed utilizing two-way ANOVA and the T-test. Conclusions of the investigation The impact of video media and poster images in the classroom on the kihon abilities of students varies, irrespective of their placement in the high-concentration or low-concentration group under instruction. Students' kihon abilities are not influenced by the utilization of video media and poster images to acquire knowledge, irrespective of their placement in the high-concentration or low-concentration group.The mean difference in learning outcomes between video media and poster images was notably greater in both the high-concentration and low-concentration groups when compared to learning via poster images.

Türkiye’nin Karadeniz’e kıyı olan komşuları ile ortak dış ticaret ilişkileri hem fırsatları hem de dezavantajları bir arada barındırmaktadır. Deniz ulaşımındaki kolaylığın sağladığı lojistik imkanlar önemli bir avantaj iken, bölgesel
istikrarsızlıklar ve farklı kamplar şeklinde çerçevelenmiş üyelikler, dış ticaret açısından dezavantajlı bir görünüm arz etmektedir. Buna ek olarak yaşanan 2022 Şubat sonunda başlayan Rusya-Ukrayna savaşı ekonomik ve ticari süreci
oldukça olumsuz etkilemiştir. Bu durum, klasik dış ticaret kuramları açısından bakıldığında karşılaştırmalı üstünlüklerden yeterince faydalanılmadığını düşündürmektedir. Türkiye’nin Karadeniz’de komşusu olan beş ülke (Romanya,
Bulgaristan, Ukrayna, Rusya Federasyonu, Gürcistan) ile olan ticari ilişkilerine bakıldığında oldukça çarpıcı bir sonuç gözlenmektedir. Türkiye’nin toplam ihracatı içerisinde 2019 yılı için bu ülkelerin aldığı pay %9 deyindedir.
Halihazırda bölge Türkiye için bir ihracat pazarı olarak değerlendirilmekten uzak gözlenmektedir. Öte yandan Türkiye’nin yaptığı ithalat oranlarında bölge ülkelerinin oranı toplam ithalat içerisinde %12 düzeyindedir. Burada özellikle
Rusya Federasyonu ön plana çıkmaktadır. Bu anlamda ithalat açısından Karadeniz ülkeleri ve özellikle Rusya, Türkiye için önemli bir ithalat ülkesi olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bölge ülkelerinin lojistik alt yapılarında da yetersizlikler
ve geliştirilmesi gereken alanlar vardır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’nin Karadeniz ülkeleri ile olan ekonomik ve politik ilişkileri ile dış ticaret ilişkileri savaşın etkileri çerçevesinde ve lojistik bakış açısı ile ele alınarak bir

tespit edilebileceği ileri sürülmektedir. Finansal dolandırıcılığın önlenmesinde ise yapay zekâ teknolojilerinden faydalanılabileceği ileri sürülmektedir. Finansal okuryazarlık seviyesinin artırılmasıyla giderek daha karmaşık hale
gelen finansal dolandırıcılık tespit edilerek önlenebilmektedir. Son olarak finansal dolandırıcılık konusunun uluslararası farklı bilim alanlarında tespit ve önlenmesine yönelik çalışmalar yapılmasına rağmen ulusal literatürde
konu üzerinde yapılan çalışmaların kısıtlı olduğu görülmektedir. Bu çalışma finansal dolandırıcılıkla ilgili genel bilgiler sunması bakımından önem taşımaktadır.

Gender Bias and Credit Access: Case of Turkic Countries
Authors: Erdoğan Ali , Öncü Erdem
Published: January 2024

In many studies in the literature, it is stated that women are subject to restrictions in access to finance. Financialconstraints arise due to gender bias. The inability of women to use loans or to be punished with high interest rates
may be a manifestation of prejudice. Economic inequality can arise due to gender bias. Financial institutions' discrimination against individuals based on their gender may limit the availability of credit for certain groups, especially
women. This can lead to long-term economic inequalities by making it harder for women to invest in education, start businesses, or make large purchases. Gender bias in lending can keep a significant percentage of the population
out of the financial system. This exclusion can negatively impact not only individual women, but also the overall financial health and growth of society. In this study, firm level data obtained from the Business Environment and
Enterprise Performance Surveys (BEEPS) of 1458 companies in Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan are used to investigate gender discrimination. According to the findings, it is revealed that there is no difference
between male and female groups in the approval of loan applications in Turkic countries. There has also been some evidence of a gender gap in the loan market. In this context, according to the loan collateral probit regression
model, it is seen that women are 6.5% more likely than men to request collateral in their loan applications.

Yüksek Teknolojili Ürün Rekabetinde Türkiye ve BRIC Karşılaştırması
Authors: Barutçu Emre , Erkan Birol
Published: January 2024

Especially since the beginning of the 21st century, global competition conditions have started to change and shape in a striking manner. The most important reason for this is that some of the developing countries, especially China,
start to change the factor equipment in the production and exports in favor of technology. BRIC countries, which are the locomotive of China and China, which leads to developing countries, have recently increased their global added
shares and becoming a stronger global actor in international trade. Considering the comparative advantages in the exports of these countries, these countries, which have a competitive advantage in the export of labor intensive
and raw materials intensive products in advance, have now started to gain competitive advantage in the export of technology intensive products. The aim of this study is to compare the levels of competition in foreign trade between
the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) economies, which are the most prominent among developing countries in terms of economic size and are expected to be at the forefront of the global competition league in future projections,
and Türkiye's high-tech product groups. In this context, the competition levels of the countries mentioned in the 2000-2021 period were handled according to the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC Rev3) and calculated
and interpreted using the Lafay Index (LI). The countries examined were able to gain competitive advantage only in certain product groups in the specified period. Most of the products added value is not a country with competitive
advantage. These results show that the global competitiveness of the developing economies, especially in the foreign trade of high -added products, is weak.

İnşaat ve inşaat malzemeleri sektörleri ülkelerin ekonomik göstergelerinde önemli derecede etkiye sahip olmasına karşın, inşaat malzemeleri sektöründe hizmet kalitesi üzerine yapılmış bir çalışmaya rastlanılmamıştır. Bu çalışmanın
amacı, inşaat malzemeleri sektöründeki işletmelerin sunduğu hizmet kalitesinin boyutlarının müşteri tatmini üzerindeki etkilerini ortaya koymaktır. Bu çalışmada somutluk, güvenirlilik, cevap verebilirlik, güvence ve empati, müşteri
tatmini algısına etki eden hizmet kalitesi boyutları olarak ele alınmıştır. Araştırma, 26 Nisan - 12 Mayıs 2023 tarihleri arasında gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma verileri inşaat malzemeleri sektöründe yer alan inşaat malzemelerinin
dağıtım ve satışı konusunda faaliyette bulunan toptancı, perakendeci, inşaat geliştirici ve diğer ilgili işletmelerin yetkilileri ve çalışanlarından yüz yüze anket yöntemi ile toplanmıştır. Araştırmada kartopu örnekleme yöntemi
kullanılmıştır. Toplanan veriler yapısal eşitlik modellemesi analiziyle değerlendirilmiştir. Analiz sonucunda hizmet kalitesinin güvenilirlik, güvence ve empati boyutlarının müşteri tatmini üzerine anlamlı ve pozitif etkisinin
olduğu bulunmuştur. Hizmet kalitesinin somutluk ve cevap verebilirlik boyutlarının müşteri tatmini üzerinde etkisi ise istatistiki açıdan anlamlı değildir. Araştırma sonuçları, inşaat malzemeleri sektöründe algılanan hizmet kalitesi
seviyesini daha yukarılara çekmek amacıyla hizmet kalitesinin hangi boyutlarına öncelik verilmesi gerektiğini ve iyileştirmelerin hangi boyutlar çerçevesinde yapılması gerektiğini ortaya koyması açısından önemlidir. Araştırma sonuçları
bu konuda oldukça kısıtlı olan literatüre ve hizmet kalitelerini geliştirmeleri açısından inşaat malzemeleri sektörü yöneticilerine değerli katkılar sağlamaktadır.
Mengungkap Kekuatan Perceived Organizational Support dan Servant Leadership terhadap Employee Performance: Eksplorasi Work Engagement sebagai Mediator Kunci di Sektor Publik
Authors: Aditya Pradipta Daniel , Savitri Pusparini Elok
Published: January 2024

The evolving dynamics of work influenced by the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic have compelled management to formulate precise strategies for the proficient management of human resources (HRM) to ensure the continued optimal performance of organizations. This paradigm extends its applicability to the public sector, where the position and functions of Civil Servants (ASN) within governmental bodies are of paramount importance in the execution of national development initiatives. Thus, this research endeavor seeks to investigate the relationship between perceived organizational support (POS) and servant leadership concerning employee performance, with work engagement serving as a mediating factor within the context of ASN employed by Financial Management Institutions within the public sector. The study was conducted through the administration of a questionnaire survey to 305 ASN respondents situated at the Central Office of the Financial Management Institution, employing the Covariance Based – Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM) technique for data analysis. The research findings manifest that both POS and servant leadership exhibit a significantly positive influence on work engagement. Moreover, work engagement serves as a complete and significant mediator in the relationship between POS and servant leadership, affecting employee performance in a significantly positive manner. This research contributes to managerial implications that can be applied within organizations, leadership circles, and among individuals within the public sector, concerning the interrelated concepts of POS, servant leadership, work engagement, and employee performance.

Published: January 2024

Organizations generally look for ways to achieve high performance from employees but sometimes ignore the important role of work engagement, as in the case of public sector organizations, especially after the COVID-19 pandemic. The main objective of this research is to determine the effect of flexible working arrangements and perceived supervisor support on work engagement and employee performance. We surveyed 321 civil servants who carry out flexible working arrangements at Government Financial Organization. We identify the effect of flexible working arrangements and perceived supervisor support on work engagement and the role of work engagement as a mediator of flexible working arrangements and perceived supervisor support on employee performance using a covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) approach. The findings show that flexible working arrangements and perceived supervisor support have a positive and significant effect on work engagement and employee performance through the mediation of work engagement. Furthermore, work engagement has a positive and significant impact on employee performance. This study contributes to an investigation into the predictors that influence employee performance considering the limited research on work engagement and employee performance in the Indonesian public sector, especially after changes in work patterns after the COVID-19 pandemic.
