Background and aim Workplace Social Capital has been suggested as a useful concept when addressing organizational and social factors of the work environment. The overall aim of the present study is to establish and evaluate the construct validity of a measure of Workplace Social Capital based on the operationalization suggested in the third version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial questionnaire. Methods The present study is based on data collected as part of a validation and development project for the use of the Swedish version of COPSOQ at workplaces and includes responses from 1316 human service workers answering a workplace survey. Six items from scales for organizational justice, vertical trust and horizontal trust in COPSOQ III were included in the analyses. Rasch Analysis was used for scale validation. Results The analyses showed that the psychometric properties of the suggested COPSOQ scale for Workplace Social Capital were satisfactory after accommodation for local dependency. Each individual item worked as intended, the scale was unidimensional and functioned invariantly for women and men, and for younger and older employees. The scale was furthermore found to be valid for use for distinguishing groups, not individuals. Conclusion We have established that the scale for Workplace Social Capital measured by COPSOQ III is valid for distinguishing groups, e.g. work teams. The scale exhibits good construct validity as it satisfies the measurement criteria defined by the Rasch model.

“…The principal is the top leader who is responsible for achieving the quality of education in schools. The quality of education in schools will be maximized if it is supported by well-organized educational components such as input, process, output, teachers, students, infrastructure, and finance (Nurabadi et al, 2022;Olesen, Hasle, & Sørensen, 2016;Pan, Nyeu, & Chen, 2015). Quality schools are not born by themselves but must be formed and planned as well as possible.…”

Leaders who have a strong spirit and are creative, innovative and skilled are needed by one-roof schools, especially in realizing ideal curriculums and learning methods. The aim of this study is to describe the efforts of school principals in creating an ideal curriculum and the optimal method of learning during the Covid-19 pandemic. It uses a qualitative approach with a multisite study research design. The location of this research is three one-roof schools in the Bondowoso Regency. Data collection was carried out by unstructured, in-depth, group interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The validity of the data was checked using data triangulation, member checks, discussions among members, and adequacy of reference materials. The data was analyzed using reduction analysis, presentation, verification, and drawing conclusions. Cross-site data analysis was carried out on a constant comparative basis. The results revealed that school principals employ varying strategies to achieve ideal learning, influenced by factors such as students, teachers, infrastructure, and local community conditions. The results also show that in order to realize an ideal curriculum and learning in one-roof schools, it is necessary to compile and implement learning in accordance with the conditions and readiness of students by including local knowledge and highlighting the principle of partnership with the community. This research offers practical guidance for policy makers and the school community in realizing ideal curriculums and learning methods, especially for schools in remote areas.

“…A university as a very large system has many sub-systems so that each forms a pattern of working relationships that realize a centralized system that works harmoniously, supports each other, and is related to each other (Bubel, Turek, & Cichon, 2015). The form of SI in universities is expected to be one of the solutions that can help solve management problems in external fields such as accountability and public image of universities and internal fields can be in the form of strengthening the governance of universities, services in the academic field and others (Olesen, Hasle, & Sørensen, 2016;Prokopiadou, 2012). The conclusion is that if an institution provides information about its institution, it will further open the reader's insight to the institution because, in this digital era, it will be easily distributed information and its functions need to be utilized as much as possible.…”
