| Tokombere: From Interethnic Battles to Linguistic Conflicts: A Sketch of Language Practices Management | Author : Théodore BEBEY | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :This article provides an outline of the development of language practices in the mountains and plains of Tokombere characterized by the identity response and inter-ethnic conflicts which have raged there for decades or even centuries (Socpa: 1999, Bebey: 2018). An analysis of the behaviour of speakers of different languages reveals that, unlike other localities in the Mandara Mountains where we observe a considerable difference between majority languages and minority languages (Bebey: 2020, Tourneux et al.: 2010, Jean Tabi Manga: 1999 and 2000), none of the many local languages emerges singularly to impose itself on the local scene. It demonstrates that inter-ethnic conflicts, the confinement, then the emancipation of small Kirdi peoples brought into play the conquest of certain Islamist languages which, although present and slightly dominant, no longer assume more than a few functions; an observation which leads to the proposal of trilingualism which would like a native of this region to be able to practice the African mother tongue for their cultural roots and the two official languages for their openness to the world; this, contrary to our previous proposals (Bebey, 2021). |

| | Self-Esteem as a Mediator between Emotional Intelligence and Academic Adaptation, and Psychological Well-Being among International Students: A Study of ASEAN and Non-ASEAN Students in Thailand | Author : Yejin Kim, Wanchai Dhammasaccakarn | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The primary purpose of this research is to investigate how self-esteem mediated the relationship between Emotional Intelligence (EI) and adjustment—academic adaptation and psychological well-being—among international graduate students in South Thailand. The study also differentiated between ASEAN and non-ASEAN groups, analysing data from 151 students using path analysis. The results demonstrated that self-esteem fully mediated the effects of EI on both academic adaptation and psychological well-being across the entire sample. Specifically, for ASEAN students, both EI and self-esteem were crucial for academic adaptation; EI positively influenced self-esteem, which in turn enhanced psychological well-being. Conversely, for non-ASEAN students, while self-esteem significantly mediated academic adaptation, it did not significantly impact psychological well-being. The cross-sectional design and small sample size of this study are its drawbacks, which may restrict the findings the capacity to be generalized and interpreted causally. These results underscore the importance of considering self-esteem in educational strategies to enhance academic and psychological outcomes for international students in diverse settings. |
| | Hierarchical Needs Status and Work Opportunities towards Organizational Commitment of Elementary School Teachers | Author : Lagrimas, Arlene B. | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The study aimed to determine the current hierarchical needs status and work opportunities relative to the level of organizational commitment of school teachers. The study used descriptive method where questionnaire was the primary data gathering instrument. One hundred sixty (160) teachers from Sariaya West District Division of Quezon, contributed to the study. Frequency, percent count, mean, SD and Pearson r were used in the statistical analysis of data. The study revealed as perceived by the Teacher-respondents on their hierarchical needs status were on a high level. Effect of work opportunities in terms of trainings and development, promotion and salary was observed. Maslow’s stages of motivational theory in terms of survival needs, stability needs, enjoyment needs, and esteem needs were related to the teacher’s organizational commitment. Teachers who feel secure in their survival needs, have stable employment, derive enjoyment from their work, and possess a healthy self-esteem are more likely to exhibit higher levels of commitment to their organization. Recognizing and catering to these needs can thus serve as a powerful tool for educational institutions seeking to foster a dedicated and engaged teaching workforce. It was revealed that work opportunities and how they were committed in the organization show that there is significant relationship work opportunities and that of organizational commitment of teachers. This findings emphasizes the role of perceived career prospects and financial rewards as motivators for teachers, highlighting their influence on organizational commitment. Recognizing and investing in these aspects of work opportunities can thus serve as effective strategies for educational institutions to cultivate a committed and engaged teaching workforce. It appears that age and years in service do not moderate the relationship between hierarchical needs status and organizational commitment of the teachers. Age and years in service are not related to work opportunities and organizational commitment of the teachers. This implies that regardless of tenure and age, the impact of perceived work opportunities and hierarchical needs status on organizational commitment remains consistent. Understanding these dynamics can inform organizational strategies aimed at enhancing teacher commitment by emphasizing the importance of psychological fulfillment and job satisfaction, meaningful career development opportunities alongside age and tenure-based considerations. With these, educational institutions can foster a more engaged and committed teaching workforce. |

| | Institutional and Governance Practices as Mediating Variables in the Development of Innovation within Clusters | Author : Imane kamal | Abstract | Full Text | Abstract :The globalization of value chains has generated an extreme intensification of competition. Researchers highlight two essential characteristics: innovation and competitiveness. Currently, clustering policy is one of the most used territorial strategies by industrial and technological companies to improve innovation performance levels. The objective of this work is to support the idea of a positive relationship between spatial agglomeration of production activities in the form of a cluster and innovation, conditioned by mediating factors. Specifically, the hypothesis defended is that institutional and governance practices favor the emergence and diffusion of innovation within the cluster. The research question mobilizes several basic theories: location theory to present the structural determinants of innovation in clusters, institutional theory to legitimize cluster interactions, organizational theory to present governance practices essential for good management of interactions in favor of innovation, and innovation theories. The field of study chosen was the emergence of the clustering policy in Morocco, whose main objective is to help set up innovative projects. This thesis work is guided by the main problem of whether concrete institutional and governance practices implemented by the clusters contribute to innovation. Data collected from a sample of companies from three Moroccan clusters are analyzed using the structural equation method (PLS-SEM). The empirical results highlight the existence of a positive relationship between industrial cluster membership and innovation performance, reinforced by the mediating role of institutional practices and the existence of governance unity. |
