ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Doctors at primary health care are prone to have work stress and it can affect their performance. Employee engagement may have close relationship with the doctor's performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. AIM: This study aims to determine the relationship between work stress and the doctor's performance at primary health care using employee engagement mediation and COVID-19 pandemic moderation. METHOD(S): This research is a descriptive study using a quantitative approach which was conducted on 354 doctors at Malang primary health care. The questionnaire was analyzed using partial least square. RESULT(S): The work stress had a significant positive effect on the doctor's performances (beta = 0.257, t-stat = 3.324). Work stress has a significant positive effect on employee engagement (beta = 0.726, t-stat = 22,967). Employee engagement does not significantly affect the doctor's performance (beta = 0.044, t-stat 0.105). Employee engagement does not mediate the work stress effect on doctor's performance (beta = 0.032, t-stat = 0.105). The COVID-19 pandemic did not moderate the work stress effect on doctors' performance (beta = -0.222, t-stat = 0.981). CONCLUSION(S): Primary health care leaders still need to pay attention to factors that can reduce the doctor's performance and employee engagement, include factors that can increase the work stress during the COVID-19 Pandemic.Copyright © 2023 Fida Rahmayanti, Noermijati Noermijati, Armanu Armanu, Fatchur Rohman.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The COVID-19 pandemic greatly affected doctors' increasing workload, especially in Primary Health Care Facilities. If this is not addressed immediately, it will affect the performance or quality of a doctor's service. AIM: This research objective is to identify the role of Primary Healthcare Facility doctors' workload in moderating the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on their performance. METHOD(S): The explanatory-descriptive research was conducted using a quantitative approach. The research respondents were 103 general practitioners who worked at a Primary Healthcare Facility in Malang City (35.0% male and 65.0% female, the most extensive age range was 26-35 years (74.8%), with a working period of 1-5 years. 57 (55.3%) The research instrument was a questionnaire declared valid and reliable, distributed online, and analyzed using Partial Least Square. RESULT(S): The findings demonstrated that the COVID-19 pandemic significantly positively affected the performance of Primary Healthcare Facility doctors (beta = 0.455, t stat = 11.390). The pandemic also significantly impacted workload (beta = 0.283, t stat = 4.347). Workload impacted performance significantly and positively (beta = 0.224, t stat 4.157). Workload mediates the COVID-19 Pandemic influence on doctors' performance (beta = 0.063, t stat = 3.005). CONCLUSION(S): Doctors at Primary Health Care have not all experienced a decline in performance despite the increased workload due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. It forces doctors to juggle between completing their tasks, fighting against disease, and improving their performance.Copyright © 2023.
ABSTRACT
Current environmental problems are still seriously elevating. One way to reduce the threat of environmental problems is to change students' perspective and behavior to be more concerned toward the environment. This research aims to describe the environmental care attitude of student or biology teacher candidates in University of Papua. The sample in this study amounted to 75 respondents to biology teacher candidates. The data was collected by disseminating questionnaires through Google Form due to the pandemic conditions of Covid-19. The environmental care attitude questionnaire was organized based on 5 indicators, namely limits to growth attitude, anti-anthropocentrism, balance of nature, anti-exemptionalism eco-crisis. The results of the analysis showed that the highest attitude was on the eco-crisis indicator with an average value of 4.00, followed by the balance of nature attitude indicator with an average of 3.99, the limits to growth attitude indicator with an average of 3.81, the anti-anthropocentrism attitude indicator averaging 3.61 and the anti-exemptionalism attitude indicator averaging 3.48. The environmental attitude category was dominated by the good category of 86.7%, the excellent category by 8.0% and the low category by 5.30% and there was no apathy category / no matter the environment. Thus, in general, the students' attitude of caring toward the environment of Biology Study Program in the University of Papua is within the category of Good. © 2023, Pegem Egitim ve Ogretim Dergisi.

ABSTRACT
Purpose: The objective of this study is to examine the effect of company resources on digital innovation, collaboration strategy, and business performance, as well as the effect of company resources on business performance through digital innovation and collaboration strategy. Research Design: This study uses a quantitative research approach. Observations were made in a cross-section time horizon, in 2022. The Population of this study is the ISP industry, which amounted to 474 companies, and the unit of observation was the management. Sampling used stratified random sampling. ISPs are grouped based on the size of each company based on the number of customers and branch cities are divided into 3 groups: small, medium, and large. Samples were taken many as 100 respondents. Sampling from each classification is done randomly based on a list of population members. Testing the causality hypothesis in this study used PLS (Partial Least Square). Results: the hypothesis testing reveals that company resources play a significant role in developing digital innovation and collaboration strategies. Company resources do not significantly directly affect business performance, but significantly affect business performance through digital innovation and collaboration strategy. Findings: The study provided managerial implications for ISP company management in Indonesia, that collaboration strategy and digital innovation can increase the influence of the development and utilization of company resources on business performance so that companies no longer have to develop and own all of their resources independently. By elaborating their collaboration strategy and digital innovation, companies can focus on developing key resources and additional digital innovations needed to increase the company's competitive advantage. Limitation: the measurement of variables was carried out based on the management's perception of the conditions and situations faced during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021-2022. To get a deeper understanding and truly describe the details of the empirical conditions, it is necessary to complement qualitative research through confirmatory and in-depth interviews. © 2023, World Scientific and Engineering Academy and Society.

ABSTRACT
The Covid-19 Pandemic has shifted the majority of learning activities online. The learning paradigm, initially used in face-to-face settings, was converted for use in an online environment. The study aimed to elicit student perspectives about Cell Biology online learning from undergraduate students enrolled in Biology Education Program. A survey was administered to 70 students from multiple universities in East Java, Indonesia. The data presented are qualitative and include student responses to the survey questions. The survey results indicated that students were having trouble learning Cell Biology online. Students described how Cell Biology was a complex topic. Students encountered difficulty with the nucleus' structure and function (31.9%), protein synthesis (29%), structure and function of the cytoskeleton (30.4%), and the concept of growth and proliferation (31.9%). These obstacles motivate students to seek instruction that incorporates investigative activities and in-depth discussions to help them grasp subjects. Additionally, students feel the need to study and summarize the information being learned to understand better the issues covered in Cell Biology. © 2023 American Institute of Physics Inc..

ABSTRACT
The continuity of the organization was disrupted when the COVID-19 pandemic hit the world in early 2020, and many organizations were forced to adapt to emergencies. Programs that have been developed for the long term must be modified to suit the situation. This paper aims to evaluate the impact of the pandemic and analyze the ongoing impact of transformational leadership on the distribution of organizational performance mediated by organizational learning, total quality management and quality assurance, and altruism as moderating variables. The study was conducted by using Partial Least Square to analyze the behavior of the highest leadership of the Child Welfare Institution (CWI) of the Ministry of Social Affairs of the Republic of Indonesia, with a sample of 185 accredited institutions throughout Indonesia. The results of the study indicate that several factors affect the process of evaluating organizational performance. The LKSAs need to improve the quality of their organization's performance by following the requirements of the Ministry of Social Affairs consistently and continuously in implementing the fulfillment of the quality standards. The contribution of novelty in this study is that the total quality management variable is not able to improve organizational performance. The surprising finding is that the consistency of the distribution of total quality management implementation has no effect when the highest leadership is unable to carry out the sustainability of the standards that have been painstakingly prepared long before the pandemic occurred. However, the quality assurance can increase the distribution of organizational performance substantially. © 2023 Growing Science Ltd.

ABSTRACT
Tourist behavior has changed a lot because of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to determine the intention of Muslim tourists to visit after Covid-19 pandemic with considerations of halal tourism literacy and perception of Covid-19 and the integration of the Motivation Opportunity Ability (MOA) concept framework. This research has a significant contribution to the halal tourism literature to predict the behavior of Muslim tourists by considering health and safety issues after the Covid-19 pandemic. Data was collected through an online survey with 270 respondents. The data obtained were then analyzed using CFA-SEM on the Smart-PLS 3.2.9 software. The data processing results showed that halal tourism literacy, opportunity, perception of Covid-19, and motivation had direct-significant effects on the intention to visit. Likewise, the indirect effects of tourism information search on the intention to visit could be mediated by halal tourism literacy. However, tourism information search has no significant direct effect on the intention to visit. In addition, the indirect effect of opportunity and perception of Covid-19 on the intention to visit could not be mediated by motivation. © 2022, SRAC - Romanian Society for Quality.

ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the virtual communication skills of students in the Vertebrate Zoology course, the subject of the Reptile Class with the example of the Varanus salvator species. The research was conducted by survey method using an adaptation observation sheet from the 2012 Greenstein instrument. Data collection was carried out on modified online Problem Based Learning (PBL) using Zoom meeting and WhatsApp Group (WAG). While presentation and organizing stages were carried out by class discussion on Zoom, the problems that have been formulated were discussed by each group using a WAG. The data obtained were analyzed quantitatively, using the percentage formula (Akbar, 2013) in the book Learning Device Instruments and showed the results that the percentage of oral communication skills was 86.73%, of the skills to understand the intent/purpose of communication was 85.65%, of the skills to use communication strategies was 86.57%, and of presentation skills was 85.19%, with each criterion falling in the category ‘Exceeded Expectations’. Meanwhile, viewing the percentage results and aiming the target of 84.57%, the two receptive communication skills listening and reading were included in the ‘Satisfactory’ category. The general percentage of communication skills of 85.16% as average was included in the category ‘Exceeding Expectations’. This finding suggests that communication which included oral communication skills, receptive communication skills, understanding the purpose of communication, using communication strategies, communicating clearly for a purpose, and presentation skills can be achieved virtually. © 2021 Conscientia Beam.
