Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to investigate resistance behaviour among academics in an Indonesian institution of higher education. The context was institutional policy change on international peer-review publication, and the objective was to associate resultant resistance behaviour with personality, trust in management, social influence and intrinsic reward.

Design/methodology/approach

The study used a cross-sectional design and surveyed 150 junior, mid-career and senior academics at the University of Brawijaya, Indonesia. Resistance behaviour was measured using Oreg's resistance behaviour instrument. Data were analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling.

Findings

Dispositional resistance to change was the strongest factor in resistance behaviour among academics following the adoption of a new policy concerning international peer-reviewed publication, while intrinsic reward was the factor that most consistently contributed to all aspects of resistance. Trust in management and social influence within the academic organisation were related to resistance behaviour among academics to publishing in peer-reviewed journals.

Originality/value

This study proposes a multi-dimensional measure of attitude to investigate resistance behaviour in an academic organisation. This measure meets the challenges inherent in mapping invisible resistance behaviour in the context of an institution of higher education. The multivariate analyses that we used enabled us to compare and to test individual factors of resistance (i.e. dispositional resistance to change) and organisational factors of resistance (i.e. trust in management, social influence and intrinsic reward) simultaneously. This study is also the first investigation of academic resistance to policy change intended to improve research culture concerning peer-reviewed publications in Indonesia; the Indonesian case is interesting in the international literature on developing research culture as the country's educational system is still developing and is less likely to provide a positive research culture than institutions in countries with more established systems of higher education.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to examine the relationship between entrepreneurship education and students’ intentions and tests for moderating effects of students’ perceived experience and family entrepreneurial orientation, which may strengthen or weaken the effect of entrepreneurship education on intention.

Design/methodology/approach

Data were collected through a questionnaire from 584 students in the vocational program at an Indonesian public university. Entrepreneurship education was measured using instruments by Walter and Block (2016) that evaluated the entrepreneurship education provided by faculty. Entrepreneurial intention used a measurement by Vamvaka (2020), which measured students’ choice of intention, entrepreneurial career commitment and nascent entrepreneurship.

Findings

Entrepreneurship education has a positive association with students’ entrepreneurial intentions. The results also evidence higher entrepreneurial intention levels in students from families oriented toward and experienced in entrepreneurship. The results also reveal that student experience and having friends who become entrepreneurs reduce entrepreneurial intention, but the difference is not statistically significant.

Research limitations/implications

The main limitation of this survey is that it was drawn from a single university in Indonesia with only domestic students, whilst the study was also designed cross-sectional. Therefore, the generalisability of the results is still limited. This study uses a single item for measuring friends and own influences, which only measure personal experiences. A more multidimensional measure of family, friends and own influence can be further developed to gain more robust results supporting these findings.

Practical implications

The study contributes to understanding the role of family-related variables, particularly family entrepreneurial orientation and experiences, on the development of entrepreneurship education and intention in emerging global market forces. Through family engagement in entrepreneurship education, a family can boost students’ entrepreneurial intention by delivering various capitals (e.g. business value, financial and social capital) and providing practical learning. The results imply the necessity to conduct new subjects, courses or university programmes that can include family-related business in entrepreneurship education.

Originality/value

Despite the expansion of research related to entrepreneurship education and intention, the relationships between perceived experience, family entrepreneurial orientation and students’ entrepreneurial intentions have not been adequately studied, particularly in Indonesia. This work contributes to the existing knowledge of entrepreneurship education by providing two moderator variables that may boost entrepreneurial intention: perceived experience and family entrepreneurial orientation. This work demonstrated how perceived experience and family orientation interact with entrepreneurship education and intention.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to identify some key points about the practice of political dynasties and poverty in the era of regional autonomy through literature studies.

Design/methodology/approach

This research uses literature study method and is organized into three parts. The first is to elaborate reflections on regional autonomy, political dynasty and substantive poverty. The second is to decipher the reality and the practice of political dynasty in the era of regional autonomy and poverty level. The third is to analyze the political dynasty and poverty in the era of regional autonomy. The last is the policy advices.

Findings

The start of dynastic leadership began before the era of direct elections in 2005 and continued after the direct elections, so that the decentralization system provided space to build a political dynasty. Regional autonomy poses the risk of full control by local elites and the birth of local ruling elites, or it indicates the presence of local elite dominance both economically and politically in the region. The autonomy era had an impact on the decrease of poverty in the area of regeneration political dynasty. This is evidenced by the decrease in the percentage of poverty index from year to year, although not yet out of the category of poor areas (based on national index), or only 4 regions from 12 regions that belong to non-poor areas. Although the average dynasties count is able to reduce poverty each year, the income distribution in majority of the political dynasty regions is uneven.

Originality/value

This research is a preliminary study on the political dynasty of regeneration type in Indonesia which is a hot issue in the era of regional autonomy as well as can add empirical evidence about the debate about political dynasty and poverty.

Abstract

Purpose

This article explores the main elements of co-participation in health, examining how community engagement can improve health outcomes and health services’ overall efficiency. It aims to discuss and identify key features that facilitate co-participation strategies in service delivery and health program implementation.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors conducted a general literature review to comprehensively explore the role of co-participation in health, drawing on scientific literature and real-world examples to identify key factors that contribute to successful health interventions. A total of 50 published resources were included, and a descriptive analysis was performed, focusing on summarizing existing literature and highlighting key themes and practical strategies. Documents were selected from publications dated between 2004 and 2024.

Findings

Community participation is presented as a critical factor in improving population health outcomes. The examined initiatives promote the idea that community integration into the design and implementation of health programs increases treatment adherence, users' health perception and improved health outcomes. Several strategies and approaches are presented as key tools to adequately integrate community engagement such as community empowerment, government decentralization and incorporation of technology, among others.

Practical implications

Coparticipation in health improves health outcomes and promotes greater equity and social justice. Involving citizens in health decision-making contributes to improving the quality of life and well-being of the community. Empowering patients’ decision-making not only builds one’s self-agency in health decision-making but also simultaneously facilitates closing the gaps in healthcare service delivery due to large shortages in the health workforce around the world. This has further implications for overall health systems’ financing, efficiency and sustainability.

Social implications

This research has social implications as it underscores how community participation is essential for fostering equity, justice and inclusivity within health systems.

Originality/value

This article offers an innovative perspective on the role of partnership in achieving good health outcomes, highlighting the importance of adapting interventions to local contexts, the need for sustainable financing and the inclusion of a wide range of actions toward participation.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to investigate the impact of the perceived performance of the government on subjective well-being based on the individual-level survey data of Kazakhstan. Having implemented substantial economic and public administration reforms over nearly three decades since independence in 1991 Kazakhstan presents an interesting case to explore how people perceive the outcomes of the reforms.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper estimates the relationship between life satisfaction and its determinants with the ordered logit model making use of the ranking information in the response variable.

Findings

This paper establishes that satisfaction with public service delivery, living conditions and personal and economic factors that are subject to public policy, along with trust in government institutions contribute to life satisfaction. The more satisfied individuals are with the quality, affordability and accessibility of public services, the more satisfied they are with their lives as a whole. A higher level of trust in government institutions increases individual well-being.

Originality/value

There is still a lack of research on subjective well-being in the less developed world. This study will help reveal important determinants of subjective well-being in the context of a developing country. Also, this study is valuable in terms of examining the impact of citizen satisfaction with public service delivery on subjective wellbeing based on rich individual-level data of the national quality of life (QoL) survey.

Abstract

Purpose

Saudi Vision 2030 is centred around innovation, entrepreneurship and women’s empowerment to foster economic growth and bring about social change. In this context, this study examines the impact of product innovation on the success of women entrepreneurs in Saudi Arabia, who constitute around 42% of the population and experience empowerment through recent reforms. Additionally, the study explores the moderating effect of risk-taking behaviour and the mediating role of perseverance.

Design/methodology/approach

Employing a quantitative design, this study collected data from 256 Saudi women entrepreneurs from five major cities using a snowball sampling technique. The data were gathered through a survey questionnaire and analysed in SmartPLS 4.

Findings

The results revealed that product innovation positively impacts both entrepreneurial perseverance and women’s entrepreneurial success. Furthermore, the moderating role of risk-taking behaviour and the mediating role of perseverance were found to be statistically significant in the relationship between product innovation and women’s entrepreneurial success.

Practical implications

The research findings help policymakers to focus on important factors that can harness women’s entrepreneurship. The Saudi government and society should offer increased financial, regulatory and moral support to women entrepreneurs to achieve the National Vision 2030.

Originality/value

This research provides empirical evidence on the crucial topic of women’s entrepreneurship in the context of Saudi Arabia, specifically from the perspective of product innovation, risk-taking behaviour and perseverance. The findings provide important practical, social and regulatory implications for various stakeholders.

Abstract

This chapter looks at the crucial role that local action plays in achieving the SDGs. It begins by revisiting the transition from the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals and ponders the reasons why we should have faith in the prospect for successful goal attainment. Next, it demonstrates the importance of local responses to global problems and challenges targeted by the SDGs and discusses the motivation of local actors to contribute to the changes that need to be made in order to generate inclusive prosperity while protecting the planet. Finally, the chapter identifies some of the key barriers to local action and reflects on how we broaden the scope and improve the conditions for local people and organizations to initiate and drive change.
