“…Although this is a form of exploitation of nature, the concept of care ethics teaches to carry out agricultural activities with responsibility for and awareness of the sustainability of natural resources. In this way, humans can maintain an ecological balance and ensure that the natural resources used are renewable (Fios et al, 2021;Kowszyk et al, 2023). In the context of the concept of nature as an ethic of care, the paragraph illustrates how important it is to live a human relationship with nature responsibly.…”

This study explores the intricate relationship between humans and nature, as depicted in the Sasak tribal folklore “Enige Sasakse Volksvertelsels (Lombok)” by Dr. C. Hooykaas employs Greg Garrard’s literary ecocriticism. The Sasak folklore delineates the human-nature relationship into two facets: humans as subjects and humans as objects in relation to nature. The former portrays humans viewing nature as the mother of Earth, guided by the ethics of care and a holistic understanding of nature. Conversely, the latter reveals instances of violence and exploitation of nature. By examining these dimensions, this research aims to foster discussions on environmental conservation and integrate awareness regarding its significance. Furthermore, this study contributes to the expansion of literary criticism, particularly within the realm of literary ecocriticism. It serves as a valuable initiative for preserving the local wisdom and folklore of the Sasak people on Lombok Island, Indonesia, emphasising the urgency of environmental consciousness.

“…The mining industry faces a complex dilemma as an economic development agent through social upliftment in places where mining corporations operate (Rajiani & Normuslim, 2023). The relationship between large-scale mining and development is contentious, especially considering that the benefits usually only go to a few people, with adverse social, environmental and economic impacts for the many (Kowszyk, Vanclay, & Maher, 2023;Melin, 2021).…”

The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of risk management practices on the performance of mining projects in Kwale County, Kenya. Specifically, the research examined the influence of risk identification practice and risk analysis practice on the performance of mining projects in Kwale County, Kenya. The theoretical framework consisted of the enterprise risk management theory, systems theory, contingency theory and complexity theory. Drawing on the positivist research philosophy, the research utilized the quantitative non-experimental research methodology. The research employed the correlational cross-sectional survey design for testing noncausal relationships among variables. The proportionate stratified random sampling technique was used to select a sample size of 128 project management staff from a target population of 188 project management staff in charge of the mining projects of the 7 mining companies in Kwale County, Kenya. A pilot study was conducted to test the validity and reliability of the constructed survey questionnaire. A self-administered structured questionnaires was used to collect primary data. The research utilized the cross-sectional survey-based approach. Through the drop and pick method, the survey questionnaires were hand delivered to the project management staff of the mining companies. The collected data was processed and entered into the statistical package for social sciences (SPSS) version 26 to create a data sheet used for statistical analysis. The Pearson's correlation results indicated that risk identification practice and risk analysis practice had positive and significant relationship with performance of mining projects in Kwale County, Kenya. The multiple regression results showed that risk identification practice and risk analysis practice had positive and significant influence on performance of mining projects in Kwale County, Kenya. The mining project managers should recognize the importance of risk management practices and apply them to their projects to minimize risks for successful projects in the mining industry. The policy makers should initiate policy review to motivate project managers recognize the importance of risk management practices.

“…Although some studies have explored the relationship between leadership style and the selection of conflict resolution techniques, a significant vacuum has existed in the lack of leaders' firsthand accounts of their experiences, reflections, and analyses in their decision-making process for conflict management styles Kowszyk, Vanclay, & Maher, 2023). Moreover, selecting and properly blending different conflict management styles becomes essential for leaders, but they also need a relational leadership style (Avolio et al, 2009;Kowszyk, Vanclay, & Maher, 2023). After all, servant leaders, through behaving selflessly (Graham, 1991;Liden et al, 2008), are predisposed to create a long-term relationship with employees (Liden et al, 2008;Stone et al, 2004).…”

This paper explores the intricate relationship between servant leadership, conflict management behaviour, and organizational outcomes in the context of Tanzania's higher learning institutions. Through a longitudinal study involving 800 respondents from four public universities, the research investigates the interplay between servant leadership and conflict management styles, specifically focusing on integrating and compromising behaviors. The study employed a comprehensive methodology, utilizing questionnaires distributed over two waves with a one-year time lag. The findings revealed a positive correlation between servant leadership and integrating conflict management styles, specifically avoiding and accommodating. However, the anticipated correlation between integrating and compromising conflict behaviours in servant leadership is not confirmed. The study further examined the prevalence of cooperative conflict management patterns among Tanzanian university leaders, highlighting a combination of problem-solving and compromising strategies. A significant aspect of the research involved cluster analysis, which revealed distinct conflict behaviour patterns in Tanzanian universities. The result showed a preference for compromising and low-integrating (co-operative) patterns, as well as high-integrating and low-compromising (competitive) patterns. Notably, these patterns were not mutually exclusive, indicating a nuanced approach to conflict management. In the second part of the study, the paper delved into the impact of servant leadership's cooperative behaviour on team performance, conflict resolution efficacy, and turnover intention. The results affirmed the positive relationship between integrating and compromising conflict management styles and team performance while forcing behaviour showed a negative correlation. Moreover, the study identified a negative relationship between accommodating and forcing conflict management styles and turnover intention. The paper concluded that servant leaders in Tanzanian universities adeptly combined different conflict management styles, mitigating the adverse effects of conflicts on team performance and turnover intention. Even though avoiding and accommodating conflict behaviours were used together, problem-solving and compromising strategies were used a lot. This showed that servant leadership was used in a more complex way in Tanzanian higher education. The study contributed valuable insights into the dynamics of servant leadership, conflict management, and organizational outcomes, emphasizing the need for a contextual understanding of leadership behaviours and their cultural implications.
