Authors: Armisa Suci , Sahetapy Petronella , Pattimukay Hengky V. R. 
Published: September 2024

This research was conducted at the Leihitu Sub-District Office, Central Maluku Regency, with the aim of understanding how the leadership role of the Sub-District Head affects public services at the office. To achieve this objective, data analysis was carried out quantitatively using the Spearman Rank correlation formula as the measurement tool. The results of the analysis using Spearman Rho or Spearman Rank correlation showed a positive correlation between the Sub-District Head's leadership role and the quality of public services, with a correlation coefficient of 0.601. This figure indicates that the relationship between these two variables is strong, as it falls within the coefficient value range of 0.60-0.799. The strength of this relationship suggests that the better the leadership role performed by the Sub-District Head, the higher the quality of public services at the Leihitu Sub-District Office. Furthermore, the hypothesis test on the correlation coefficient revealed that the ρ-calculated value of 0.601 is greater than the ρ-table value of 0.388. This result indicates that the null hypothesis (Ho), which states that there is no relationship between the Sub-District Head's leadership role and public services, is rejected, while the alternative hypothesis (Ha), which asserts that there is a relationship between the two variables, is accepted. Thus, this study concludes that there is a significant and meaningful relationship between the Sub-District Head's leadership role and public services at the Leihitu Sub-District Office, Central Maluku Regency. This highlights the importance of effective leadership in improving the quality of public services at the sub-district government level.
Oral Metastasis to the Oral Cavity - An Emerging Prostate Cancer Risk Factor: A Review
Authors: Varun Rastogi  , Nisha Maddheshiya  
Published: September 2024

ABSTRACT
Metastatic tumors involving the jaw constitute a rare occurrence, encompassing approximately 1% to 4% of all oral malignancies resulting from distant primary tumors. Among the leading sources of metastatic tumors to the oral or maxillofacial region are breast, lung, prostate, kidney, bone, colon, rectum, thyroid, stomach, testis, bladder, ovary, and cervix cancers. Oral cavity metastatic tumors are infrequent, comprising approximately 1% of all oral malignancies. Remarkably, in 25% of cases, the presence of oral metastasis serves as the initial indicator of metastatic progression, while in 23%, it constitutes the earliest discernible evidence of malignancy spreading from its primary origin. Prostate cancer typically originates from the basal cells within the prostate, and it ranks as the 6th most common cause of cancer-related mortality among males worldwide. Prostate cancer is indeed a signiﬁcant health concern for men, its prevalence and impact on male health underscore the importance of regular screening, early detection, and appropriate medical management to improve outcomes and reduce mortality rates. In our review, we explore different risk factors and predisposing conditions, as well as the primary pathway through which prostate carcinoma metastasizes to the oral cavity.

Organizational Value Nexus and Espoused-Enacted Value Interplay: The Case of Sri Lankan Public Administration
Authors: Bandara Yashoda , Dissanayake Kumudinei , Arosha S. Adikaram  
Published: September 2024

The role of public value conflicts in public failure has been examined from a human and normative viewpoint, beyond commonly discussed economic concerns. Although the country’s public sector is frequently criticized for its poor performance and value-related issues, very little research has been conducted in the Sri Lankan context in this regard. The purpose of this paper is to investigate how espoused and enacted organizational values interact in Sri Lankan public administration. This study employs a qualitative case study research approach within the broader philosophical premise of interpretivism. Accordingly, data were acquired from top-level managers of the Sri Lankan public administrative organization through in-depth, in-person, semi-structured interviews and core regulatory documents. Thematic analysis was conducted by coding and classifying the data to generate themes. Two main categories emerged from the analysis: espoused and enacted. The organization's primary stated values—public interest, service boundless, good governance, and humanity and morality—came to light as being distorted to some extent by personal interests, subordination and dependency, distrust, inactivity, and apathy in its day-to
day operations. The findings of this study provide fresh insights into existing knowledge on how the interplay of espoused – enacted values in public administration leads to public failures. Further, the study provides managerial implications that would aid public policymakers in the creation of practical plans for the alignment of public administration with the country's setting while keeping its avowed ideals.

Authors: Weerasekara W.M. Sanjeewani K. , Perera G. Dinoka N. 
Published: September 2024

The impact of an individual's Big Five Personality (BFP) on Job Performance (JP) is an important concept that has received widespread attention in the contemporary world. This study investigates the impact of an executive employee’s big five personality on job performance, with Job Satisfaction (JS) as the mediating factor for executive employees in a selected public financial institution in Sri Lanka. This study employs trait theory and a Five-Factor Model, analyzing individuals through a self-administered questionnaire utilizing a natural setting. The questionnaire comprises 75 statements and a demographic profile as the measurement instrument. Thirty executives were the subjects of the pilot test. 150 executives from the chosen public-sector financial institution made up the sample size. The data was analyzed using regression analysis and the correlation coefficient technique, with statistical data analysis conducted using SPSS 26. The study revealed that the big five personality and job satisfaction significantly influence executive employees' job performance and confirmed the mediation effect of job satisfaction. This study supports the big five personality and job satisfaction effects on job performance, offering insights for future human resources management planning such as recruitment, deployment, capacity development, and performance reviews in both the public and private sectors. Longitudinal and subsequent studies using alternative data collection techniques like interviews, samples, and mixed methods are recommended for more in-depth and diverse findings.

Rural development projects are advancing slowly in rural areas partly due to a lack of community participation in project implementation. In the Sri Lankan context, state-governed projects are often planned by the Ministries and Departments, yet beneficiaries get the chance to engage with projects at the implementation stage. Divisional Secretariats play a major role when implementing projects at the rural level in Sri Lanka. Hence, this study aims to explore the reasons for lower community participation in rural development project implementation in a selected divisional secretariat called Kandaketiya in Sri Lanka, to examine issues encountered in community participation in rural development project implementation, and to make suggestions to increase active community participation. The study used a qualitative case study design by collecting data from the field officers engaged in rural project implementation and community members separately. Six focus group discussions were employed, and data analysis was done thematically. As the reasons for lower community participation, the study found that lack of awareness, negative community perception, administrative and management issues of government institutes, time constraints, geographical barriers, and limited infrastructure availability. The study revealed that issues encountered in community participation in rural development project implementation as intergenerational conflicts and poor teamwork, insufficient monitoring by field officers, poor officer-community relationship, and lack of transparency in financial matters. Introducing a daily wage system, enhancing communication facilities, conducting need analysis tests, increasing financial transparency, conducting community awareness and capacity-building training for officers, and introducing people-centric project designs were stated as suggestions for increasing community participation.
