Revisiting Local Government Auditors’ Burnout upon its Stress Dimensions

Purpose:  This study aims to ‎determine the effect of three-dimensional stress, known as the roles of stress, to predict ‎the likelihood of occupational stress and burnout complication among local government ‎auditors.   Theoretical framework:  This study utilized the Conservation of Resource Theory as a theoretical lens to ‎determine the effect of three-dimensional stress, known as the roles of stress, to predict ‎the likelihood of occupational stress and burnout complication among local government ‎auditors.   Design/Methodology/Approach:  Quantitative non-linear modelling involved three hundred and twenty-six ‎questionnaires from being sent to the regional inspectorate in the Bali area between June - July 2022.   Findings:  The study successfully proved the significant effect of role ambiguity and role ‎overload as influential factor of auditors’ stress. The study also proves the empirical ‎relationship between auditor stress and burnout. Further, this research concludes that various ‎mediation effects of stress exist between dimensional stress and burnout among auditors.   Research, Practical & Social implications:  This ‎study is expected to give strategic recommendations for the respectful government agencies ‎to develop better stress-handling techniques.   Originality/Value: The influential factor of the role of ambiguity which is significantly elevated job burnout, might become a novelty for this research’s finding, the complication of ambiguity in the context of forming the passive level of stress known as burnout stipulates the profound problems of ambiguity in the auditor context

Reinventing Indonesia’s City Branding Strategy Through Conceptual Frameworks

City branding has gained increasing importance in recent years due to its perceived economic and political implications, necessitating the involvement of city governments and stakeholders in developing a successful cross-sectoral branding strategy. In this study, the researcher conducted a literature review and identified three critical dimensions - politics and compliance, socioeconomics, and sustainability - that must be considered when creating an implementation checklist for city regulators and executives. To address the research gap, the researcher developed a conceptual and practical framework that introduces three new terms - city branding image objects, artifacts, and infrastructure - essential in implementing city branding strategies in Indonesia. This study provides a comprehensive implementation framework checklist for city governments to ensure their branding strategy meets the three-dimensional criteria and has an appropriate implementation plan. Furthermore, the researcher expects that this article will initiate and stimulate a discussion on city branding strategies, anticipate that this study will offer an alternative perspective on city branding strategy and provide a valuable implementation tool for regulators, executives, and academics involved in city branding in Indonesia

Faktor-Faktor Yang Mempengaruhi Praktik Yang Menurunkan Kualitas Audit Pada Auditor Internal Pemerintah

Penelitian ini mengangkat topik aspek keperilakuan auditor pemerintah. Sebagai bagian dari tantangan agenda nasional peningkatan kapabilitas Aparatur Pengendalian Intern Pemerintah (PK-APIP), Praktik profesional menjadi salah satu kriteria yang sampai dengan saat ini masih terkendala. Praktik yang dapat menurunkan kualitas hasil audit merupakan salah satu konstruk pengukuran yang menjadi antitesis dari praktik profesional dalam PK-APIP. Dengan menggunakan prediktor antara lain: Kualitas Kehidupan Kerja, Tingkat Stres, Burnout Pekerjaan, Interferensi Lingkungan Kerja terhadap Kehidupan Personal, Intensi untuk Keluar, serta anteseden dari tingkat stres auditor; penelitian ini telah berhasil mengembangkan desain pengujian empiris dalam menentukan faktor- faktor yang mempengaruhi praktik yang menurunkan kualitas audit berbasis Teori Konservasi Sumberdaya dan Model Tuntutan dan Sumberdaya Pekerjaan. Pengujian permodelan berbasis Generalised Structured Component Analysis (GSCA) berhasil membuktikan pengaruh empiris antara stres pekerjaan terhadap kehidupan personal dalam pembentukan praktik yang menurunkan kualitas audit. Pengaruh mediasi intensi untuk keluar juga mediasi hubungan antara kualitas kehidupan pekerjaan terhadap praktik yang menurunkan kualitas audit. Sementara disisi lain, mediasi burnout pekerjaan juga mempengaruhi hubungan stres pekerjaan dan interferensi lingkungan kerja terhadap kehidupan personal terhadap pembentukan praktik yang menurunkan kualitas audit.

Bagi lembaga koordinator APIP dapat bermanfaat dalam register faktor pengaruh perilaku yang bertentangan pada praktik profesional, Troubleshooting solution dalam pembinaan aspek keperilakuan dalam agenda pembinaan dan peningkatan kapabilitas APIP nasional. Hasil penelitian juga memberikan kontribusi dalam afirmasi Teori Konservasi Sumberdaya dan Model Tuntutan dan Sumberdaya Pekerjaa

Global Prevalence and Potential Influencing Factors of COVID-19 Vaccination Hesitancy : A Meta-Analysis

Countries worldwide have deployed mass COVID-19 vaccination drives, but there are people who are hesitant to receive the vaccine. Studies assessing the factors associated with COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy are inconclusive. This study aimed to assess the global prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy and determine the potential factors associated with such hesitancy. We performed an organized search for relevant articles in PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Extraction of the required information was performed for each study. A single-arm meta-analysis was performed to determine the global prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy; the potential factors related to vaccine hesitancy were analyzed using a Z-test. A total of 56 articles were included in our analysis. We found that the global prevalence of COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy was 25%. Being a woman, being a 50-year-old or younger, being single, being unemployed, living in a household with five or more individuals, having an educational attainment lower than an undergraduate degree, having a non-healthcare-related job and considering COVID-19 vaccines to be unsafe were associated with a higher risk of vaccination hesitancy. In contrast, living with children at home, maintaining physical distancing norms, having ever tested for COVID-19, and having a history of influenza vaccination in the past few years were associated with a lower risk of hesitancy to COVID-19 vaccination. Our study provides valuable information on COVID-19 vaccination hesitancy, and we recommend special interventions in the sub-populations with increased risk to reduce COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy
