title: THE INFLUENCE OF LEADERSHIP STYLE AND WORK MOTIVATION ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE THROUGH JOB SATISFACTION AS AN INTERVENING VARIABLE AT THE CATHOLIC GENERAL SECONDARY SCHOOL [ENSINO SECUNDÁRIO GERAL CATÓLICA] SEMINÁRIO DE NOSSA SENHORA DE FÁTIMA BALIDE-DILI
description: Employee performance or work achievement is the result of individual efforts, abilities, and actions within a given situation. Several factors influence employee performance, including motivation, proficiency, and role perception. High-quality performance must align with institutional standards. To ensure employees remain motivated to achieve optimal performance, leadership plays a crucial role. A leader with an appropriate leadership style acts as a motivator who inspires subordinates. This study focuses on the leadership style at the Catholic General Secondary School (Ensino Secundário Geral Católica) Seminário de Nossa Senhora de Fátima (SENOFA) Balide, Dili. These findings highlight that while leadership style enhances job satisfaction, it does not directly improve work performance. In contrast, work motivation plays a pivotal role, both directly and indirectly (through job satisfaction), in enhancing employee performance.

THE INFLUENCE OF PRODUCTION AND OPERATING COSTS ON NET PROFIT WITH SALES VOLUME AS AN INTERVENING VARIABLE “A CASE STUDY AT THE TIMOR BLOCK BUILDING INDUSTRY”
type: item
description: This study examines the influence of production and operating costs on the company’s net profit, with sales volume serving as an intervening variable. The case study focuses on the Timor Block Building Industry for the period 2014-2023. Using a quantitative approach, secondary data were collected through saturated sampling. Multiple linear regression and Sobel tests were employed to evaluate both direct and indirect relationships among the variables. The findings indicate that production costs have a positive and significant effect on both net profit and sales volume. Operating costs positively and significantly affect net profit, but negatively influence sales volume. Additionally, sales volume exhibits a significant negative effect on net profit and significantly mediates the relationships between production and operating costs and net profit. These results highlight the importance of efficiently managing both production and operational costs to enhance financial performance, with direct effects being more dominant than indirect effects through sales volume.

ANALYSIS OF FACTORS INFLUENCING THE REALIZATION OF THE GENERAL STATE BUDGET OF TIMOR-LESTE: A CASE STUDY IN THE MINISTRY OF HEALTH OF TIMOR-LESTE
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the influence of budget planning, financial management, human resource capacity, and coordination between national and municipal levels on the realization of the State General Budget (OJE) in the Ministry of Health of Timor-Leste. This research utilizes a quantitative approach with a descriptive nature. The population and sample consisted of 45 respondents (census method), specifically planning and finance officers from the National Directorate of Budget and Financial Management (DNOJF), Central Procurement Unit, and Municipal Health Services in Ainaro and Bobonaro. Data was analyzed using Multiple Linear Regression via SPSS. The findings indicate that simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence budget realization. However, partially, only Financial Management showed a significant positive effect on budget realization. Budget Planning, Human Resource Capacity, and Coordination did not show a statistically significant partial effect, despite receiving positive descriptive ratings. The coefficient of determination was 34.9%. While the Ministry possesses good planning foundations and competent staff, the critical determinant for actual budget execution is the effectiveness of financial management processes (disbursement and control). Recommendations include simplifying financial procedures and integrating planning more closely with financial execution.

title: THE ROLE OF LEADERSHIP STYLE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE IN ENHANCING JOB SATISFACTION MEDIATED BY TRUST IN LEADERSHIP: A CASE STUDY AT THE SECRETARIAT OF STATE FOR SOCIAL COMMUNICATION (SECOMS), TIMOR-LESTE
description: This study examines the effects of leadership style and organizational culture on job satisfaction, with role of trust in leadership as the mediating variable in Secretariat of Social Communication (SECOMS) in Timor-Leste. The research addresses three gaps: limited empirical evidence from Timor-Leste’s public sector, the underexplored mediating role of trust in leadership, and the scarcity of studies in post-conflict public institutions. A quantitative explanatory design was employed, analyzing 100 valid responses using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Results show that leadership style significantly influences organizational culture and job satisfaction. In addition, Organizational culture has a positive but non-significant effect on job satisfaction while Trust in leadership significantly predicts organizational culture and job satisfaction. In relation to the role of trust as mediating variable, it partially mediates the relationships between leadership style, organizational culture, and job satisfaction. Theoretically, the study highlights trust as a key psychological and organizational mechanism linking leadership practices to employee outcomes in post-conflict public institutions. Empirically, it provides new evidence from Timor-Leste, an underrepresented context in leadership and public administration research. Practically, the findings emphasize the importance of cultivating trustworthy, participatory, and consistent leadership to enhance job satisfaction and support civil service reform. This study offers guidance for policymakers and managers seeking to improve organizational effectiveness through leadership and trust-building strategies.

EFFECTIVENESS OF BUDGET ABSORPTION IN THE MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE (MAPPF) OF TIMOR LESTE
type: item
description: The purpose of this study is to determine and analyse the effectiveness of program-based budget absorption in the Ministry of Agriculture of Timor-Leste, and to assist the Ministry's planning and finance division in providing baseline information for decision-making. This research can inform future budget allocations, provide empirical contributions to financial management theory, and serve as a reference for further research. This study used documentary data collection techniques, collected through the Ministry's financial reports for the 2018-2022 period. Data processing employed descriptive methods, while the effectiveness of program-based budget absorption was measured using the Mardiasomo formula (2007:129). The results of the study show that the effectiveness of program-based budget absorption in the Ministry of Agriculture in 2018 was assessed with an effectiveness level of 92.02% with the category "Very Effective", in 2019 the effectiveness level was 84.62% with the category "Effective", in 2020 the effectiveness level was 95.25% with the category "Very Effective", in 2021 the effectiveness level was 73.67% with the category "Quite Effective" and in 2022 the effectiveness level was 77.02% with the category "Quite Effective" Judging from the average effectiveness level for 5 years of around 84.51%, it is classified as "Quite Effective" It is assumed that the Ministry of Agriculture is very careful in budget planning and always refers to the legal basis for planning so that there are spending programs that are partially realized and several other programs are also not realized due to inadequate budget allocation and suboptimal realization so that they do not reach the expected target.

EVALUATION OF THE RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION PROCESS TO ATTRACT QUALIFIED TALENT USING THE CIPP MODEL IN PLAN INTERNATIONAL TIMOR-LESTE
type: item
description: Human resource management is essential for improving employee quality, competence, and performance. Plan International Timor-Leste also recognizes human resources as a core asset, yet it faces challenges in attracting candidates whose skills fully match organizational needs. Observations indicate that some selected candidates do not always meet the required technical capacity, leading the organization to rely at times on international staff for technical support. Some recruits also resign after selection because their roles do not match their expectations or do not fully align with the organization’s mission. This study evaluates the recruitment and selection system using the CIPP model to analyze context, inputs, processes, and outcomes. A qualitative descriptive method with thematic analysis was applied. The findings show that the organization requires highly qualified staff to support its programs, with recruitment inputs guided by job descriptions and person specifications. Recruitment involves several stages, including public job advertisements through digital and local media. Most selected candidates meet qualification standards and contribute effectively to program implementation, although some require additional training and adaptation. Overall, the system is functional but would benefit from strengthening input and process components to more effectively attract and retain qualified talent.

ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF PERCEIVED ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT AND WORK INVOLVEMENT ON EMPLOYEE WELL-BEING IN THE NATIONAL PARLIAMENT, TIMOR-LEST
type: item
description: This study analyzed the impact of perceived Perceived Organizational Support and Work Engagement on employee well-being. This survey was conducted in the National Parliament of Timor Leste, covering all 118 employees as a sample for the survey. Data collection was obtained through questionnaires and interviews. The analysis techniques used were descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis. Data were analyzed using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) with Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results show that Perceived Organizational Support (POS) has a positive but insignificant effect directly on employee well-being, and work engagement has a positive and significant effect on employee well-being. Complementary work engagement partially mediates the effect of Perceived Organizational support on employee well-being. This research recommends to the Secretariat of the National Parliament to pay more attention to the welfare of employees so that employees can feel that the organization values their contribution and cares about their well-being. This is important because employees' involvement in daily work can greatly affect their well-being.

EVALUATION OF HUMAN RESOURCE ALLOCATION POLICY IMPLEMENTATION IN THE MINISTRY OF PUBLIC WORKS, TIMOR-LESTE
type: item
description: This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Human Resource (HR) allocation policy in the Ministry of Public Works (MOP) of Timor-Leste using a qualitative case study approach. The study focuses on four key aspects: the implementation of the HR allocation policy, the challenges and constraints encountered during implementation, the impact on employee performance and public service delivery, and employee perceptions of the existing HR allocation system. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with key informants from the National Directorate of Human Resources (DNRH) and technical units within the MOP, non-participant observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal a gap between formal regulatory frameworks and actual practices in the field. Although the policy emphasizes merit and competence, HR allocation practices are often influenced by political interference and personal connections. Major challenges include a weak HR information system, unclear job descriptions, and the absence of post-placement training and evaluation mechanisms. These conditions negatively affect employee motivation, contribute to bureaucratic inefficiencies, and create imbalances in personnel distribution across units. Many employees perceive the allocation system as unfair and non-transparent, expressing a need for merit-based reforms. The study recommends strengthening institutional capacity, improving the HR information system, and establishing an independent evaluation and monitoring mechanism to enhance accountability in the public sector HR allocation process.

description: The main objective of this study is to examine and analyze the effect of internal control on fraud prevention with transparency and accountability as intervening variables, using a case study at ONG Assosiasaun Sentru Estudu ba Paz no Demokrasia (ASEPD) and ONG Action For Change Foundation (ACF). The study collected data from 38 respondents. The data used in this research are primary data obtained through questionnaires. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS).The results of the study indicate that internal control has a positive and significant effect on fraud prevention, as well as a significant effect on transparency and accountability. In addition, fraud prevention is found to have a significant effect on transparency but not significant on accountability. In the mediation test, the findings show that transparency serves as a significant intervening variable in the relationship between internal control and fraud prevention. On the other hand, accountability is not proven to be a significant mediating variable in this relationship.

THE ROLE OF SERVANT LEADERSHIP IN ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP BEHAVIOR (OCB) WITH JOB SATISFACTION AS A MEDIATING VARIABLE: A CASE STUDY AT THE INSTITUTE OF GEOSCIENCE OF TIMOR-LESTE (IGTL)
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the role of servant leadership in Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at the Institute of Geoscience Timor-Leste (IGTL). A mixed-method approach with a dominant quantitative design was employed, combining survey data collected from all 75 IGTL employees with qualitative insights from interviews with four key informants. The quantitative data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), while narrative analysis was applied to the qualitative interview data to validate and enrich the statistical findings. The results indicate that servant leadership significantly enhances both job satisfaction and OCB. Employees who perceive their leaders as empathetic, supportive, empowering, and collaborative demonstrate higher levels of voluntary behaviors that benefit the organization. Job satisfaction was also found to have a direct and significant influence on OCB, and it mediates the relationship between servant leadership and OCB, highlighting the importance of employee satisfaction as a mechanism for fostering extra-role behaviors. Based on these findings, organizations are encouraged to cultivate servant leadership behaviors to improve employee satisfaction and promote organizational citizenship behavior. Future research is suggested to involve larger and more diverse samples, employ longitudinal designs, and explore additional variables such as organizational commitment or work environment.

Work Readiness Among Tvet Trainees In Timor-Leste: The Role Of Curriculum, Instructor Competence, Training Facilities And Industry Engagement Under Government Support
type: item
description: This study investigates how training quality dimensions and government support shape trainee work-readiness in Timor-Leste’s Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system, a context marked by high youth unemployment and uneven institutional capacity. Drawing on Human Capital Theory, Constructivist Learning Theory, and Skills Ecosystem Theory, the study tests an integrated structural model linking curriculum relevance, instructor competence, training facilities, and industry engagement to work-readiness, with government support as a moderator. Using data from 151 final-term trainees across two accredited Don Bosco institutions, Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was conducted via SmartPLS 4.0. Results show that instructor competence is the only significant direct predictor of work-readiness (β = 0.306, p = 0.006), while other structural inputs were non-significant. Government support showed no significant moderating effects except in enhancing the relationship between industry engagement and work-readiness (β = 0.282, p = 0.006). The model demonstrated moderate explanatory power (R² = 0.507), predictive relevance (Q²_predict > 0), and acceptable validity, though global model fit (SRMR = 0.095) was marginally suboptimal. The findings highlight that in fragile systems, employability is driven more by human and systemic factors than by formal inputs, underscoring the need to professionalise TVET trainers and foster structured government–industry coordination.

The analysis techniques used were descriptive statistical analysis and inferential statistical analysis. Data were analyzed using SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) with Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. The results show that Perceived Organizational Support (POS) has a positive but insignificant effect directly on employee well-being, and work engagement has a positive and significant effect on employee well-being. Complementary work engagement partially mediates the effect of Perceived Organizational support on employee well-being. This research recommends to the Secretariat of the National Parliament to pay more attention to the welfare of employees so that employees can feel that the organization values ​​their contribution and cares about their well-being. This is important because employees' involvement in daily work can greatly affect their well-being.

Leadership Influences on Employee Satisfaction and Organizational Commitment in Chinese Technology Firms
type: item
description: This paper develops an integrative framework to explain how leadership influences employee satisfaction and organizational commitment in Chinese technology firms. Drawing on contemporary leadership and organizational behavior literature, the study synthesizes theoretical perspectives to clarify the mechanisms through which leadership behaviors shape employees’ evaluative and affective attitudes in innovation-intensive environments. The framework positions employee satisfaction as a central attitudinal outcome of leadership and a key pathway through which organizational commitment is formed. By situating these relationships within the institutional and competitive context of China’s technology sector, the paper highlights the importance of leadership behaviors that foster support, trust, and meaningful work under conditions of high performance pressure. Beyond theoretical integration, the study discusses managerial and policy implications related to leadership development, retention, and sustainable human resource practices. The paper also outlines directions for future empirical research, proposing the use of structural equation modeling, multilevel designs, and longitudinal approaches to validate and extend the framework. Overall, the study contributes to leadership and organizational behavior scholarship by offering a context-sensitive perspective on workforce sustainability in rapidly growing technology firms.

Transformational Leadership and Employee Attitudes in Chinese Technology Firms: A Conceptual Framework for Huawei Technologies
type: item
description: This conceptual paper develops an integrative framework explaining how transformational leadership shapes employee attitudes in Chinese technology firms, with particular relevance to the organizational context of Huawei Technologies. Drawing on social exchange theory, job demands–resources theory, and leadership-based role modeling perspectives, the study synthesizes recent literature to theorize how transformational leadership influences key employee attitudes, including work engagement, job satisfaction, affective organizational commitment, and turnover intention. The framework highlights the mediating roles of psychological empowerment, perceived organizational support, and trust in leadership, while acknowledging the moderating influence of high innovation intensity and environmental uncertainty characteristic of China’s technology sector. Beyond advancing a coherent conceptualization, the paper critically discusses the limitations inherent in theory-driven models and outlines rigorous directions for future empirical research. Specifically, it proposes survey-based structural equation modeling, multilevel designs, and time-lagged approaches as suitable strategies to validate the framework and strengthen causal inference. By linking leadership behaviors to attitudinal outcomes within a high-performance, innovation-driven context, the study contributes to leadership and organizational behavior literature and offers a foundation for evidence-based leadership development in large Chinese technology firms.

Cryptocurrency Adoption and the Future of Global Finance: A Conceptual Exploration of Opportunities, Risks, and Systemic Transformation
type: item
description: This paper examines cryptocurrency adoption as a transformative force reshaping the future of global finance. Drawing on recent interdisciplinary literature, the study synthesises technological, institutional, and systemic perspectives to develop an integrative understanding of how cryptocurrencies generate both opportunities and risks within evolving financial ecosystems. The paper argues that cryptocurrency adoption extends beyond individual user acceptance or market performance, functioning instead as a catalyst for structural change in financial intermediation, regulatory governance, and monetary systems. By conceptually analysing key drivers such as blockchain-enabled efficiency, institutional legitimacy, and regulatory adaptability alongside challenges including volatility, governance gaps, and systemic risk, the study proposes a holistic framework linking micro-level adoption dynamics with macro-level financial transformation. The findings contribute to fintech and financial innovation scholarship by clarifying the conditions under which cryptocurrencies complement rather than destabilise traditional financial systems. The paper further offers theoretical and policy-relevant insights into how hybrid financial architectures integrating decentralised finance, traditional institutions, and central bank digital currencies may shape the long-term configuration of global finance.

Business Performance in Fishing SMEs through Artificial Intelligence Adoption: The Mediating Roles of Relative Advantage and Compatibility
type: item
description: This study develops a conceptual framework to explain how artificial intelligence (AI) adoption influences business performance in fishing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) through the mediating roles of perceived relative advantage and compatibility. Drawing primarily on Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory and complementary perspectives from digital transformation and SME performance literature, the paper argues that AI does not directly enhance performance unless it is perceived by owner-managers as both beneficial and compatible with existing operational routines, resource constraints, and skill bases. By focusing on fishing SMEs as a traditional and under-researched industry context, the study extends AI adoption research beyond technology-intensive sectors and highlights the importance of adoption readiness and fit in realizing performance outcomes. The paper further discusses theoretical, managerial, and policy implications, emphasizing strategic AI decision-making, phased investment approaches, and the role of digital inclusion and capacity-building initiatives. Finally, directions for future research are proposed, including the use of structural equation modeling, mixed-method designs, and longitudinal studies to empirically validate the proposed mediation framework. Overall, the study contributes to AI adoption and SME performance literature by offering a context-sensitive explanation of sustainable digital transformation in fishing SMEs.

Artificial Intelligence Adoption in Fishing SMEs: A Conceptual Framework Linking Perceived Relative Advantage, Compatibility, and Business Performance in Malaysia
type: item
description: This paper develops an integrative framework to explain how artificial intelligence (AI) adoption influences business performance in fishing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Malaysia. Drawing on Diffusion of Innovation (DOI) theory, the study conceptually examines the roles of perceived relative advantage and compatibility as key innovation attributes shaping AI adoption decisions in a traditional, resource-constrained industry context. The framework positions AI adoption as a mediating mechanism through which innovation perceptions are translated into performance outcomes, including operational efficiency, market responsiveness, and competitive positioning. By situating AI adoption within the realities of fishing SMEs—characterised by limited technological readiness, strong reliance on established routines, and sensitivity to cost and risk—the paper extends AI adoption research beyond high-technology sectors. The study further discusses managerial and policy implications related to strategic AI investment, digital inclusion, and capacity-building initiatives, and outlines directions for future empirical research using structural equation modelling, mixed-method approaches, and longitudinal designs. Overall, the paper contributes to AI adoption and SME literature by offering a context-sensitive perspective on digital transformation in Malaysia’s fishing industry.
