2024-02-27T05:46:04+00:00

A positive attitude from an employer raises employee morale, lowers stress levels, and creates a more motivating work environment. Therefore, it is essential for organizational development and employee motivation. The objective of this study is to evaluate the attitudes of CMC members toward teacher motivation in community colleges. As a research methodology, a qualitative case study design was used. The population consisted of three participants who were purposively selected from three different community colleges. The participants were interviewed in-depth to assess their perspectives on teacher motivation. The gathered data were transcribed, examined ethically, and divided into three significant themes. The study found that CMC has favorable views regarding merit-based responsibility, employee promotion by TU regulations, and teacher appreciation and recognition. However, the CMC has poor attitudes towards teachers who actively participate in politics, the irregular in the classroom, and have poor academic performance. In light of these findings, the study failed to identify that CMC is hardly responsible in some major teachers’ motivational cases. Accordingly, it is suggested that CMC should take full responsibility for teachers’ motivation in college for optimal performance. And teachers should also prioritize their professional duties above other responsibilities. Consequently, the contribution of the study will be valuable to stakeholders in community colleges for the policy-making process in the future.

2024-02-27T06:16:02+00:00

This research study examines the articulation of the female body in advertisements through the intersecting lenses of Foucauldian perspectives. In the context of contemporary consumer culture where advertisements play a pivotal role in shaping social perceptions of gender and beauty, this research seeks to unravel the complex web of power, discourse, and commodification regarding the portrayal of women's bodies. The analysis delves into how capitalism commodifies the female body, turning it into a product to circulate in the market. The study investigates the economic relations and labor conditions involved in the production of these images, shedding light on the exploitative mechanisms within the advertising industry. It also explores how consumerism and the pursuit of profit contribute to the perpetuation of idealized beauty standards. Simultaneously, drawing from Foucault's theories, the research investigates the ways in which power operates within the discourse of advertisements. It uncovers how advertising normalizes specific beauty ideals, imposes disciplinary domains regimes, and invites viewers to engage in a surveillance-based gaze that judges and categorizes female bodies. This study revealed that advertisements commodify the female body, reducing women to objects that can be bought and sold, perpetuating unrealistic beauty standards and creating a culture where women feel alienated from their own bodies, all driven by the profit motive of corporations and reinforcing the capitalist notion that everything, including beauty, has a price. By elucidating these dynamics, the research contributes to a critical discourse on the role of advertising in reinforcing or challenging gender norms and the broader socio-economic system.
