PurposeTo develop and apply the social enterprise balanced scorecard (SEBS) as an amended balanced scorecard technique for use evaluating UK social enterprises.Design/methodology/approachThe study involved exploring the potential mainstream application of the balanced scorecard in UK social enterprises to learn how this process show the ways in which social enterprises can develop, and implement and track the performance of their socially driven strategies. Describes the development of an SEBS and its testing by 12 social enterprises in a pilot training programme (August 2004‐December 2004).FindingsThe results indicated that the SEBS had changed participant views about their organizations in terms of: increased employee understanding about their organization as a business; the usefulness as a business planning tool for social enterprises; the natural fit of the SEBS alongside the existing UK quality accreditation scheme of Investors In People; the power of the SEBS to be an effective means to engage staff and team members as an early‐warning system for potential problems; helping to redress the balance between purely financial gains and social purpose; and providing focus, clarity, and the ability to remove non‐essential detail from strategic planning. Concludes that: Kaplan and Norton's balanced scorecard is capable of being adapted to suit social enterprises; positive outcomes include creating a common language through which social entrepreneurs can share and compare experience, even if they operate in different industries; and the application of the SEBS can enable organizations to become better businesses, while demonstrating social value added to stakeholders.Originality/valueReveals the benefits of extending the balanced scorecard approach to the evaluation of social enterprises.

Dalam jangka waktu 40 tahun sejak 1978, kelompok Baduy ini telah banyak mengalami perubahan yang signifikan, terutama pada penguasaan ekonomi pasar dan perdagangan umum. Kelompok ini juga bersentuhan dengan aktifitas politik praktis.Kelompok ini juga yang ikut mempengaruhi orang Baduy (buyut) untuk terlibat dalam pamilihan umum (Pemilu). Masyarakat Baduy di desa Kenekes, Kecamatan Leuwidamar Banten, sejak lama membangun sistim pemerintahan sendiri dalam kerangka negara yang lebih luas diatasnya. Walaupun demikian, mereka tetap mematuhi nilai-nilai yang sudah ada dari buyut mereka. Walaupun masyarakat Baduy belum mendapatkan pendidikan formal dari pemerintah, mereka belajar dengan caranya sendiri untuk dapat memahami perkembangan diluar desanya seperti penggunaan bahasa Indonesia dan pengenalan handphone secara terbatas. Proses perubahan itu berjalan lebih cepat setelah kawasan Baduy menjadi cagar budaya yang banyak dikunjungi turis asing dan domestik. Masyarakat Baduy melihat segala aktifitas politik selama tidak menyentuh nilai nilai Baduy, dipandang sebagai bagian ketaatan kepada pemerintah yang menjadi bagian penting dari kehidupan tradisional Baduy. Walaupun sudah terjadi berbagai perubahan dalam kaitannya dengan hubungan timbal balik antara masyarakat Baduy dan bukan Baduy, diharapkan pemerintah memberikan proteksi terhadap keberlangsungan ekonomi dan sosial masyarakat Baduy.

Peace stands for a state of mind in tranquillity where one is free from all sorts of worry. We say a man is at peace when a kind of satisfaction exists in his mind, body and soul. An element of joy, happiness and fulfilment thrills his life. Peace is needed for his creative work. Peace is the purpose for which he exists. Peace is the law of nature where everything functions smoothly. Peace is a concept peculiar to man, for it is taken for granted elsewhere in the creation. Man is the only entity that disturbs peace, but man alone is the entity that is conscious of peace. Peace is an abstract subjective experience so far as individuals are concerned. It becomes an objective condition of life when collectively it is applied to society. If family members quarrel, peace is gone, creating a scene. If groups clash, peace is gone, causing social tension. If nations fight, peace is gone, resulting in destruction. Peace is central to all, a condition for any social good, whether it be for individuals, societies, states, nations or the world. When the question of peace is discussed in a Journal of Religious Studies, it is an inquiry into how peace is viewed in different religions; how is it attained; what has been the contribution of each religion to the establishment of peace, either at the individual, social, regional, national or global level; and where does Islam stand in respect of these queries. An answer to these questions would form the substance of this essay.

This research investigates resettlement stress among African migrants in Australia and how migrants manage stress. The research used 30 semi-structured interviews with African migrants in Western Australia. Participants used various strategies, including reliance on family as a community and on God – usually constructed by alliance rather than kinship – to manage stress. The article's key contribution highlights the multilayered approach for social work to integration strategies for migrants. The study identifies three significant issues emerging: the importance of 'families' as community networks, the experience of discrimination and the significance of faith in God as crucial migrant support factors.

AbstractThe research aims to empirically validate a multidimensional measure of total quality management (TQM) benchmarking within a humanitarian setting. This study is the first to investigate the dimensionality of the TQM benchmarks as used by international nongovernmental organizations (INGOs). The proposed four‐dimensional construct for measuring quality lends itself to lean and practical TQM framework for INGOs, allowing them a greater awareness and an appetite for aligning their operations with TQM principles. Utilizing survey data collected from participants working for United Nations agencies in the Middle East, the methodology consisted of a set of literature‐backed quantitative procedures to test the validity of the previously suggested theoretical TQM‐measurement model. An alternate model emerged and revealed that the TQM‐benchmarking measurement model is a four‐factor variate. The implications of the proposed model for implementing lean management practices by INGOs are discussed.

We examine the predictive power of individual differences based on the Five-Factor Model (FFM) for stress among undergraduate students in private universities in Malaysia. One hundred thirty-one undergraduate students from three private universities were surveyed. A partial least square structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) was utilised to analyse the data. Our findings indicate that Neuroticism and Agreeableness positively predict student stress. Whereas openness to experience, conscientiousness and extraversion do not exhibit significant or sufficiently sizable predictions of student stress. Notably, female students are found to report higher levels of stress than males. Emotionally unstable students tend to be more vulnerable to forms of stress. Agreeableness signifies the predisposition to be kind and supportive instead of suspicious or an adversary towards people. Thus, highly agreeable students may expose themselves to discretionary stress to meet their classmates and tutors' expectations. Our results are discussed. Further, practical and research implications are provided.
