Purpose
This paper aims to attempt to collate and understand the fragmented research on female entrepreneurship in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA). The review assesses the literature at the ...macro, meso and micro analysis levels and addresses the obstacles, challenges, motivations and characteristics of female entrepreneurship in the MENA region.
Design/methodology/approach
The analysis bases on a gender aware, narrative review, which is an appropriate method when aggregating studies of different methodological approaches, covering broad and fragmented topics in different settings. The study analyzes the areas that have received sufficient research attention and those which are still under-developed.
Findings
Important gaps in the field are lack of theoretical foundations; an over emphasis on macro level indicators, such as culture and religion and an under emphasis on organizational level variables; a lack of studies that analyze female entrepreneurship within ethnic groups, or studies that acknowledge the complex social, cultural and religious diversity of the region; and inattention to particular regional experiences (e.g. refugees crisis) and emerging trends.
Originality/value
This is the first integrative review of the literature in the growing field of female entrepreneurship in the MENA region that identifies areas of particular research interest and questions that are still under-developed. The study proposes further avenues for future research.

This study aims to analyze various public opinion on the Covid-19 vaccines that appear on social media pages, especially on Facebook and Twitter via # (hastag). The death rate caused by COVID-19 was ...so high which reached 144,227 people until 2022. The Indonesian government required vaccines for the community starting from children aged 6 years as an effort to prevent the spread of the Covid-19 virus. Unfortunately, the implementation of complete vaccines in Indonesia has only reached 51.3% of the mandatory vaccine population, which is 140 million out of 339 million people. The non-achievement of the target set by the government causes the need to conduct a sentiment analysis on vaccines in Indonesia through social media. Based on the sample data, from 1000 words obtained from 320 opinions there are positive and negative opinions. This data is then analyzed and processed to find out how many positive and negative responses occurred. The data was then processed into several stages to test the level of truth through training data and test data. The results of the data processing were tested using the Naïve Bayes algorithm which resulted in an accuracy value with a precession of 77.08% taken from 90 samples test data, recall with a percentage of 97.87% based on positive data which was predicted to be true with a positive opinion status from 47 samples of test data and 1 positive data status which is still predicted to be negative. Furthermore, the specific percentage value obtained was 65.30% of the 132 test data that are predicted to be true negative.
Purpose
– This study aims to address gender gaps in labor participation and earned income. The paper assesses the role of education and cultural dimensions in impacting female labor indicators. The ...paper tests two separate models predicting female labor participation as a percentage of male participation (FPM) and female earned income as a percentage of male earned income (FIM) across 59 nations.
Design/methodology/approach
– Data were taken from those published by World Bank and International Labor Organization, in addition to the GLOBE study. The paper relies on relationships among such data to assess the hypotheses under investigation.
Findings
– FPM was explained by institutional collectivism, gender egalitarianism, and education. FIM was explained by gender egalitarianism and institutional collectivism. Contrary to expectations, in-group collectivism was not found to be a predictor in this model. Based on earlier research and this study, the paper presents the “female labor indicators model”.
Research limitations/implications
– More data need to be collected about gender-related attitudes and behaviors from a larger number of countries. There is also a need to collect culture data at the individual level not only at the country level. The model that the paper presents – explaining gaps in female participation and pay – deserves additional research support.
Practical implications
– There is a need for practitioners to be conscious of hidden forces that work against women who aspire to work despite their high educational levels. Improving women's labor conditions requires a concerted effort from many parties including government and private sector.
Originality/value
– The link between GLOBE's cultural dimensions and female labor indicators has not been sufficiently addressed in prior research. The paper suggests that explaining deficits in female labor indicators requires looking past economic and demographic variables into institutional and cultural factors. The paper presents a comprehensive model that helps in explaining gender gaps in participation and pay.
Mathematical literacy skills and mathematical logical intelligence are essential things that students must have to be able to use mathematics in everyday life. This study aims to identify ...mathematical literacy skills from the perspective of logical-mathematical intelligence of junior high school students in Towuti, East Luwu. This type of research is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques for mathematical logical intelligence tests and tests of mathematical literacy skills and interview guidelines. The indicators used adopt indicators developed by Stecey and Turner. The research subjects used were three categories of students from class VIII room 2 who had high, medium, and low mathematical logical intelligence. The results showed that students with high mathematical logical intelligence were able to identify all indicators of mathematical literacy ability so that they had high mathematical literacy skills. It is different for students with moderate and low logical intelligence, who have low and high literacy abilities. The results of this identification are still possible to continue by an analytical study.

Melalui potensi dasar berupa fitrah, manusia mengembangkan diri dan mewujudkan kehidupan yang beradab. Potensi Fitrah hanya dimiliki oleh manusia, dan tidak dimiliki oleh makhluk lain. Allah swt. menciptakan manusia dengan mmelengkapi kejadiannya dengan alat-alat penting berupa pendengaran, penglihatan, dan hati nurani. Melalui pendengaran, penglihatan, dan hati nurani manusia mengembangkan potensi fitrah yang dimilikinya dalam suatu proses pendidikan. Itulah alasan mengapa manusia membutuhkan pendidikan.
In the Industrial Revolution 4.0 era, humans are required to be able to seek education that is in line with the needs of the time. This is a challenge for Islamic educational institutions in ...particular, which are often trapped in the dichotomy of religious and general knowledge. Negative stigma still often comes from people who question the lack of scientific integration in Islamic educational institutions, so that they are less adaptive in responding to market needs. This study aims to describe the integration of moral education values into the learning process at Madrasah Aliyah DDI Masamba. This research is qualitative, using normative theological and phenomenological approaches to obtain research data. The results of the study show that, on the one hand, MA DDI Masamba has responded to the industrial era 4.0 by integrating moral education values into the entire learning process. However, on the other hand, the integration process is hampered because the teaching staff has not optimally exemplified morals in the learning process. For this reason, alternative curriculum improvements and follow-up evaluations are needed to develop an integrated and global-minded moral education.
Purpose - The audit expectation gap has been examined in many regions of the world, but the extent of such a gap has not been investigated in many Middle-Eastern countries. This study attempts to ...assess the possible existence of an expectation gap between accountants and non-accountants in Lebanon.Design methodology approach - Survey research was conducted on a sample of accountants and non-accountants and comparisons made.Findings - A significant "reasonableness gap" was uncovered. There is a gap between the auditors' understanding of their profession compared with the perceptions of others. There is a significant difference in perceptions of the role of the auditor in respect of fraud detection. Neither group had a strong image of the Lebanon profession compared with worldwide audit practices or with the technical qualifications of the auditors.Research limitations implications - This research can be extended through assessing whether there are differences between different non-accountants (judges, lawyers, bankers, brokers, etc.) in terms of their understanding of the role of external auditors.Practical implications - Much more concerted effort needs to be exercised from professional syndicates and other relevant stakeholders in developing the image of the profession and addressing the varying perceptions and attitudes towards it.Originality value - This paper adds evidence to the important debate about expectation gap from a region that has had little coverage.
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to assess the role of speech on transformational leadership attributions and the role of follower self‐esteem in fostering the relationship between followers and ...their leaders.
Design/methodology/approach
Survey research was used testing specific relationships. A 2‐by‐2 experimental design was conducted including treatments of leader speech and attributes with follower self‐esteem acting as a covariate.
Findings
Significant relationships between most attributions of transformational leadership and follower self‐esteem were found. Inspirational leader speeches were found to lead to higher levels of attributed transformational abilities.
Research limitations/implications
It is suggested that there are contextual differences between different types of transformational relationships. Researchers are invited to distinguish between different types of charisma (social charisma vs business charisma).
Practical implications
Although the use of appropriate speech is an influential asset for the transformational leader, effective leadership does not solely depend on it. Organizations may benefit from inculcating communication training programs into their training agenda towards elevating their trainees to a higher level of leadership capability.
Originality/value
Leadership research has been heavily dominated by an overriding focus on leader attributes. This study concentrates on a specific leader impression management behavior (speech) and inculcates a follower variable (self‐esteem) into the equation towards a better understanding of the leadership phenomenon.
