Full textAbstract:
Cultural immersion experiences offered through study abroad opportunities for nursing students have been increasing in recent years. Examining the impact of these experiences has largely focused on students and not on the faculty leading the experiences. It is important to understand the impact of these experiences on all participants. Exploring the literature on empowerment provides some clarity on the relationship between studying abroad and its impact on participants. Further research linking cultural immersion experiences with empowerment is needed to better understand this relationship and the possibilities of empowering both students and faculty engaged in these exciting opportunities.

The cycle of activities starting with planning of human resources, recruitment, performance appraisal and professional development programmes, feedback and analysis all ensure that they are utilized to develop strategies to upgrade the professional competence of the staff through various mechanisms evolved. In higher education institutions efforts are continuously made to enhance the professional development of teaching and nonteaching staff, through strategies for empowerment includes training, re-training and motivating the employees for the roles and responsibility they perform. It is necessary to have a performance appraisal system comprehensive enough to ensure that information on multiple activities is appropriately captured and considered for better appraisal. The outcome of the review of the performance appraisal is the development of efficiency and transparency in fulfilling the aspirations of the stakeholders and greater commitment to teaching-learning process. In this paper, we have identified various faculty empowerment strategies to be adopted for future quality improvement in higher education institutions in the light of a comprehensive performance management system based on 360º appraisal.

Women’s empowerment is a worldwide issue addressed by the government in every country. It has been the main agenda point discussed in all government plans. In India, we aim to achieve women’s empowerment and gender equity, one of the sustainable development goals to be achieved by 2030. Women’s empowerment is achieved by creating a conducive social environment that facilitates individual or collective decisionmaking for social transformation. This can be achieved by looking at women’s empowerment from a psychological perspective. This study aims to find the impact of institutional culture on the psychological empowerment of women faculty in higher education institutions. It also aims to find suitable institutional culture types to enhance women’s psychological empowerment in institutions. This study was developed based on selfdetermination theory proposed by Edward Deci and Richard Ryan in 1985. Descriptive research was conducted, and quantitative analysis was carried out with IBM SPSS and AMOS version 23. A sample of 385 women faculty working in higher education institutions in India was contacted to collect primary data. Structural equation modeling was used to test the proposed model, and it was found to be acceptable. Statistical analysis of the data reveals that there exists a strong positive relationship between dimensions of institutional culture and psychological empowerment.

Purpose: This study aims to examine the relationship between empowerment leadership and organizational innovation. This analyzes the influence of empowerment leadership on organizational innovation, whether knowledge sharing mediates the effect of empowerment leadership on individual creativity, if individual creativity moderates the influence of empowerment leadership on organizational innovation, and how psychological empowerment mediates the effect of leadership on individual creativity.
 
 Theoretical framework: Empowerment leadership includes delegation of authority, participating in decision-making, informing employees about regulations, becoming a role model, showing concern, and interacting with the team members. Organizational innovation is the ability to generate and adopt new ideas or behaviors because it increases productivity and business performance. Knowledge sharing is a mechanism that fosters individual creative thinking and increases employees' creativity. Therefore, leaders tend to promote the practice of knowledge sharing by generating useful new ideas and thoughts.
 
 Design/methodology/approach: Respondents are lecturers at the Faculty of Economics and Business of Islamic Higher Education (IHE) in Java, Indonesia, who have been selected as participants. Data were analyzed using the PLS-SEM to test the modified results of several models.
 
 Findings: The results showed that empowerment leadership directly affects organizational innovation, knowledge sharing mediates the influence of empowerment leadership on Individual creativity howevet, it failed to mediate the effect of empowerment leadership on organizational innovation, while psychological empowerment failed to moderate the relationship between variables.
 
 Research, Practical & Social implications: This study added distinctive supports to the leadership literature by identifying key leadership behaviors that foster or impair individual creativity, knowledge sharing and organizational innovation through investigating their relationships with leadership styles in the same research model.
 
 Originality/value: This study indicates that empowerment leadership majorly affects organizational innovation. Furthermore, knowledge sharing plays an important role by mediating between variables for the development of organizational innovation.

The aim of the current research is to investigate the impact of integrating the learning for mastery strategy supported by smart electronic applications and the peer tutoring strategy in teaching Calculus 1 on the development of academic achievement and self-efficacy in mathematics among female students in the College of Science, Saudi Arabia. To achieve the research objective, a quasi-experimental design was employed. The research instruments included an achievement test and a mathematics self-efficacy scale, which were distributed to 60 female students from the Biology Department at the College of Science. The research results revealed statistically significant differences between the average scores of the experimental group and the control group in the post application of the achievement test and the mathematics self-efficacy scale in favor of the students in the experimental group. The current research recommends the importance of utilizing the integration of various teaching strategies, such as learning for mastery and peer tutoring, in teaching Calculus 1 at the university level. It also suggests training faculty members to use these strategies to develop different aspects for their students, such as self-efficacy in mathematics.

Full textAbstract:
The concept of entrepreneurship empowerment was explored in depth to highlight its multifaceted nature and its role in fostering economic growth and cultivating a positive community mindset, which in turn spurred the development of essential infrastructure contributing to community empowerment. Service Learning, as a strategy for community entrepreneurship empowerment in the Indonesian culture, was enacted through the collaboration of faculty and university students who were acknowledged for their capacity to deliver authentic learning experiences. It, thereby, facilitated the acquisition of both soft and hard skills. This initiative exemplified the coordinated efforts among universities, such as the local MSME (Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises) Community of processed Parijoto fruit, and its various partners. The execution of this community service program, which was done in Muria, comprised six primary phases: surveying, conducting interviews, gathering data, preparing materials, engaging in focus group discussions, formulating action plans, and conducting evaluations and reflections. The outcomes encompassed the analysis of laboratory products, educational sessions, mentoring activities, and the creation of educational resources. While the assessment of processing parijoto fruit yielded positive impacts from the endeavor, it was found to have a need to optimize support from businesses to sustain a conducive environment for MSMEs. Such entrepreneurship training initiatives have demonstrated efficacy in empowering communities and generating further prospects for individuals residing in rural areas.

Full textAbstract:
Progressive higher education institutions, in a competitive environment, evaluate brand positioning to navigate through communication, economic and globalization challenges. Literature in Sub-Saharan Africa hardly interrogates how public universities manage institutional brand for competitive advantage (Sulkowski, Wozniak, & Seliga, 2019) from an internal communication perspective. In Kenya, rapid university expansion and funding reduction enhanced competition. In a complex and dynamic context, vibrant institutions align corporate strategy to internal communication and position institutional brand. Thus, this study interrogates how the internal communication practices of an emerging university in Kenya impact institutional brand during transformation. A total of 153 Questionnaires were administered and 18 in-depth interviews were undertaken. Data as collected from 18 middle-level management who were purposively selected and the 153 self-administered questionnaires using stratified random sampling were administered on MMU faculty and administrative staff. The findings suggest that effective communication be through employee participation in decision-making (90%), conflict management (73%), brand management (mean 3.3), and corporate storytelling for institutional memory. However, management communication practices did not effectively communicate corporate objectives, marketing and branding strategy during university transition which negatively influenced image building and employee trust. The study recognized the importance of an internal communication policy, during transition, to provide a systematic and structured process which incorporates employee participation and empowerment. Employee participation strategy that integrates induction, interpersonal activities and interactive channels such as social media to communicate institutional strategic elements and enhance relationship management. Empowerment contributes to institutional brand management through mid-manager training, information inclusion, diversity management through internal stakeholder sessions, the use of mediated communication embracing social media, intranet and website to sensitize institutional management and employees. Upcoming public universities, like organisations, are expected to survive and thrive, through strong corporate branding to counter progressive forces arising from global, curricular, policy, technological and generational transformations. The study recommends an internal communication policy and management practice for effective communication of institutional messages to enhance employee participation and empowerment to improve brand positioning during institutional transformation.

Full textAbstract:
Efforts to improve the quality of small and microenterprises (SMEs) depend not only on the availability of internal resources but also on innovation and worldwide regulation dynamics. The triple helix concept has become an alternative solution for improving the quality of SMEs, which consists of academicians, governments, and businesses (SMEs). Muza is an SME that is being fostered by lecturers in the Faculty of Animal Science Universitas Brawijaya in Blitar District; this SME produces smoked salted eggs and has become one of the featured products based on Blitar's Service of Fishery and Livestock Department. The communication between the academician and the Muza Management-Government on the development program was implemented separately. This research aimed to develop development strategies to increase the quality of Muza smoked salted eggs. The research was conducted in Blitar District in July 2022. The research used an explanatory method to identify problems in the field and categorize the problems into groups using the SWOT method. SWOT components are formed using in-depth interviews with the planner and implementer of the strategy, which consists of five people. The subjects were given a closed questionnaire that consisted of SWOT components. The SWOT analysis results show that the total IFE score is 4 and the EFE score is 4.45. The IE matrix shows that the empowerment strategy is on the “V” cell, which has a "hold and maintain" strategy. Thus, the programs given were not efficient, and strategic planners need to focus on product quality improvement. The design of GMP and HACCP systems is strongly recommended.

Full textAbstract:
3 WINS Fitness is a student-delivered free exercise program for the community delivered in public parks. We believe this program, which operates without external funding and has been sustained for 6 years, is one significant solution to reducing the level of physical inactivity in the United States. The operative 3 WINS in our program are participant health, community health, and student professional development. The primary focus has been underserved communities, and our current eight programs in Los Angeles, serve over 300 participants regularly. Three challenges to the program are student empowerment, faculty understanding and involvement, and establishing the relationship between university and parks, which represent a vital partnership. However, the accomplishment of undergraduate students having such a dynamic impact on public health underscores the need for encouraging this sustainable and innovative strategy to increase the physical activity levels of communities across America.

Full textAbstract:
Discusses the rise of information technology functions in higher education and the related advent of quality standards for on-line education. The limited nature of existing guidelines is emphasized, particularly in the dimension of establishing authentic relationships, empowerment of faculty and students, and the inculcation of critical thinking. The Borkian vision of the future of education is summarized and contrasted with the limits if not failure of the legacies of past large-scale educational investments in programmed learning and in computer simulation. The drift toward mandated standards in on-line/distance education is discussed as well as the tension of this with empowerment concepts. Further contrast is drawn between the competing models of the university as “community of scholars” and as “marketplace of consumers.” Cost-cutting motives for on-line course delivery are explored in some detail, raising issues about radical proposals to restructure university teaching functions. A hybrid model, involving both computer-mediated and face-to-face methods, is seen as the superior instructional strategy, but the cost of this model raises the danger that a two-tier educational system will emerge – a more expensive upper tier with sound traditional education supplemented with the benefits of electronic media, and a cheaper, inferior tier dispensing programmed training to meet objectives far narrower than the traditional goals of liberal education.

Women continue to be underrepresented in the academic fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) relative to the proportion of doctoral degrees they earn. This also was the case in 2009 at Florida International University, where only 11% of the STEM tenure-line faculty were women. In this chapter, the rationale, implementation, and outcomes will be described for two strategic career development projects for STEM women faculty that were funded by the National Science Foundation; the Awareness, Commitment, and Empowerment project (2011-2016); and the FIU ADVANCE Institutional Transformation project (2016-2021). Also described will be the role that social media and digital formats played in developing and sustaining a sense of community among women faculty, as well as for doing research and evaluation.
