Interpersonal Relationships in Migrant Worker Families: An Integrated Psychological, Legal, and Pedagogical Model

Mon, 20 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Parental labor migration affects the socio-psychological development of children in a holistic sense emphasizing emotional, social adjustment and stability of the family unit. The precise effects of parental absence on psychological outcomes have received little attention in Uzbekistan despite the existence of community mechanisms like the mahalla system. This study explores the socio-psychological effects of parental labor migration on school-age children and seeks to shed light on the effectiveness of institutionalized support programs. A cross-sectional mixed-methods design was used, involving 150 children (95 from high-migration regional areas and 55 from Tashkent). Quantitative data were collected using René–Gilles test on emotional and social adaptation, while qualitative data were collected through semi-structured interviews with children and families and expert questionnaires for professionals. There is a heightened emotional-social inadaptation among children of migrants, with 60% classified as moderate-to-high emotional risk. Institutional support was varying between regions, and it did not include rural areas in most cases. Qualitative data suggested inadequacies with family reintegration efforts and erratic professional intervention efforts. Findings underscore the need for structured socio-psychological support programs tailored to children affected by parental migration. There is proposed a scalable model that combines diagnostic assessment, targeted family interventions, and institutional reintegration programs to monitor the well-being of children on a systemic level, as well as to enhance family support systems in urban and regional settings.

Integrating Intellectual Capital and University Social Responsibility: Pathways to Institutional Empowerment in Higher Education

Sat, 04 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Contemporary universities face increasing demands for transparency, social commitment, and academic excellence in increasingly complex and competitive environments. In this context, intellectual capital, university social responsibility, and institutional empowerment emerge as fundamental pillars for the strategic development of higher education institutions. This study aimed to analyze the importance of intellectual capital and social responsibility in universities as a strategic factor for empowerment in higher education. The bibliometric phase, based on publications indexed in Scopus, revealed sustained growth in global scientific production on these topics, as well as geographical and thematic gaps. The systematic review included 35 rigorously selected articles. It confirmed that intellectual capital strengthens organizational learning and innovation, that social responsibility improves institutional legitimacy and social relevance, and that empowerment fosters participatory governance and adaptability. The findings show that the interaction between these elements generates synergistic effects that improve institutional performance and support the development of more resilient and socially engaged universities. This study contributes to the theoretical consolidation of these constructs and offers empirical evidence that can guide university management policies and strategies. Future research should focus on regional comparative studies and longitudinal analyses to evaluate the long-term impact of integrated management approaches in diverse institutional contexts.

Beyond Compliance in Tourism: Fostering Proactive Safety Culture in Multi-Crisis Hospitality

Wed, 15 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The current study explores the effect of safety leadership on employees’ safety performance within a multianxious hospitality industry, with belief restoration as mediation and perceived susceptibility as moderation. The tourism and hospitality sector is especially vulnerable to climate-related disruption, including heavy rainfall, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the collapse of infrastructure, resulting in increased occupational safety-related uncertainty for frontline workers. In such cases, successful safety performance depends on regulatory compliance and leadership, as well as psychological safety. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 106 frontline employees across five hotels in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, a tourism destination exposed to recurring environmental hazards. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that safety leadership does not exhibit a significant direct association with employee safety behavior. Instead, leadership operates indirectly through belief restoration, supporting a full mediation pattern at the structural level. Perceived susceptibility strengthens the relationship between safety leadership and belief restoration and shows a marginal interaction effect on safety behavior. Theoretically, the study refines safety leadership research by modelling belief restoration as a domain-specific cognitive recovery pathway linking leadership cues to safety engagement under prolonged disruption. The findings suggest that in multi-crisis hospitality environments, leadership influence may depend less on direct compliance mechanisms and more on employees’ renewed confidence in the organization’s ability to manage safety threats.

A Methodological Framework for Developing Polite Speech Culture and Reflective Competence in Education and Social Media Contexts

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

With an upsurge in both online communication and societal turbulence, universities and educational systems face pressing challenges, including respect for diverse opinions and fostering civil discourse among students. To address this, a novel language-focused approach has been developed that uniquely integrates the concepts of polite speech culture with reflexive competence, providing both theoretical and practical insights into improving digital and educational communication. These objectives, thought to be especially pertinent in contemporary contexts, are now approached through a new methodological lens that promotes wider consideration. The broader conceptual framework encompasses a unified structure and cultural perspective. This study contributes by offering a theoretically grounded model that explicates the interaction between polite speech culture and reflexive competence, highlighting mechanisms that enhance communication effectiveness in educational and social media environments. The interactions of multiple factors at different levels impose further modifications to established concepts, extending their relevance to a wider variety of contexts. Such a wide-ranging framework supports endeavors across education and social media to impart an awareness of people’s rights to communicate freely and respectfully, as expressed through organized respect knowledge and speech skills.
