Abstract: This study seeks to examine the various attributes that impact health and safety in construction (HSIC) across different companies, stakeholders, and nations. The objective is to identify these attributes and organize them within a framework to facilitate a clearer understanding. The research identified common characteristics that promote the adoption of HSIC, yielding advantages for governmental, private, and public entities. The United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Hong Kong are considered the leading countries in terms of conducting research on HSIC attributes. There exists significant potential for enhancing the contributions of developing countries. The proposed framework acknowledges a comprehensive set of 61 attributes, which are categorized into four distinct groups: Corporate regulatory, Employee's self-supportive, Workplace regulatory, and Federal regulatory attributes. These attributes function as a framework for clients and policymakers to enhance the quality of HSIC. In forthcoming periods, it is recommended to prioritize the utilization of empirical surveys conducted across diverse locations in order to ascertain the attributes that are deemed of utmost importance and necessitate significant attention.

Abstract: This study chose Contingency Theory as a theoretical perspective to empirically investigate the role of transformational leadership, training, lecturer engagement, and compensation in improving lecturer performance. The research respondents were 166 lecturers at the College of Economics in Riau Province. The data was processed using PLS Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). This study proposes lecturer engagement and compensation as a strategy to improve lecturer performance. From the results, it was clear that transformational leadership and education and training affected lecturer performance, lecturer engagement played a role in mediating the effect of leadership and training on lecturer performance, and compensation moderated the effect of lecturer engagement on lecturer performance. These results reinforce the Contingency Theory which states that individual and organizational performance depends on the motivational system and the extent to which the leader has control and influence in certain situations.

Abstract: This study took the Human Capital Theory as a theoretical perspective to empirically investigate the role of supervisors' supervision in moderating the effect of professionalism and creativity on the performance of public high school teachers in Pekanbaru. The research respondents were 144 teachers, the data were processed using the PLS Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The study proposed supervisors' supervision as a strategy to improve teacher performance. The results of the study show that professionalism and creativity affect teacher performance—supervisors' supervision plays a role in strengthening teacher performance. These results strengthen the Human Capital Theory stating that a combination of knowledge, skills, innovation, and a person's ability to carry out their duties can create value to achieve goals.

Abstract: One of the problems students often face is the lack of understanding of their interests and talents which will cause confusion in making future study choices and career plans. Career selection is an expression of personality into the world of work followed by identification of certain occupational stereotypes. Eight intelligences according to dr. Howard Gardner is linguistic, logical, mathematical, visual spatial, musical, kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalist. This research purpose is to develop a system that produces information and professional recommendations that are in accordance with multiple intelligences of prospective high school students using a combination of Bayes' theorem and weighted product (WP) method. User’s preference value is calculated using the Bayes Theorem method to give each multiple intelligence value which is a criterion. WP method calculation to find professions that match user preferences. Weight of each criterion needed in WP method is calculated by Rank Order Centroid method. WP calculation will produce a ranking of 3 professions according to the input from the user. From system testing results that compared to results from experts, an accuracy of 67.33% is obtained. Based on the accuracy value, it can be said that the accuracy level system is quite good.

For this purpose, 557 consumers who were using FMCG products residing in the western region of Tamilnadu were selected through cluster sampling followed by simple random sampling. To meet out the objectives, various statistical tools through SPSS 21 were applied and the result revealed that all the constructs like communication, price, labeling, promotion and unfair trade practices, if any remarkably influencing the consumer awareness. Also, labeling has a noteworthy mediating role between consumer awareness and satisfaction. But there existed a direct negative effect of consumer awareness on the satisfaction.
