The current diverse opportunities available worldwide have caused an increase in the pursuit of changing jobs in the Philippines for greener pastures, leading to a decrease in organization efficiency due to career shifts or intentions for shifting. With the evident movement of workers, this study aimed to establish a model for determining the factors that influence job-seeking Filipino workers to shift careers and seek greener pastures by holistically analyzing variables using the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Value-Belief-Norm. A total of 210 valid responses among employees who shifted careers were collected through online surveys via social media platforms using purposive sampling. Partial least square structural equation modeling as the main multivariate tool was utilized to assess the hypothesized relationships. The findings of this study revealed that self-transcendence values in shaping personal norms and ascription to responsibility affected the intention to career shift or greener pasture-seeking behavior. In addition, subjective norms affected attitude, while organizational commitment negatively affected intention for greener pastures. It was seen that the factors that affect intention behavior the most among Filipinos were better opportunities, financial stability, workplace environment, and work–life balance—a notion that connects with the Protestant Work Ethics. It was evident that self-perception of a better career, growth, and overall profit merged to influence the intention of a career shift. It could be suggested that job rotation and job enhancement may reduce these intentions and lead to satisfaction among employees. Moreover, job roles may be reevaluated to identify (dis)satisfaction among employees, so the spearheading team may evaluate what actions are needed. Enhancement of skills and development through seminars and training may also be considered.

AbstractOver the last twenty years since the introduction of automated coding schemes, research in foreign policy analysis (FPA) has made great advances. However, this automatization process is based on the analysis of verbal statements of leaders to create leadership profiles and has remained largely confined in terms of language. That is, the coding schemes can only parse English-language texts. This reduces both the quality and quantity of available data and limits the application of these leadership profiling techniques beyond the Anglosphere. Against this background, this forum offers five reports on the development of freely available coding schemes for either operational code analysis or leadership trait analysis for languages other than English (i.e., Turkish, Arabic, Spanish, German, and Persian).

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of the combination of the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and perceived variable costs on the use of the Indonesian Financial Accounting Standard (Standar Akuntansi Keuangan — SAK) Online application by accountants, auditors and academics. And also, to determine how Indonesian accountants work in collaboration with the Indonesian Accountants Association (Ikatan Akuntan Indonesia — IAI) by distributing online questionnaires to accountants, auditors, and academics who have used and/or continue to use the SAK Online application. Data were analyzed using partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and a quantitative data collection method. According to the findings of this study, behavioral intention and facilitating conditions have a significant impact on use behavior; whereas performance expectations, social influences, and perceived cost have a significant impact on behavioral intention. Other factors, such as effort expectation and the conducive environment, have no discernible effect on behavioral intention. The findings of this study can be used effectively by IAI as a developer to determine various strategies for increasing the number of SAK Online users, and by companies/agencies as users to determine strategies for maximizing the use of SAK Online by employees/members.
