The research method used was qualitative. Data analysis used was interactive model analysis consisting of three analysis components i.e. 1) data reduction, 2) data presentation and 3) data verification and conclusion drawing. Research findings indicated that the planning process should be supported by the rule of law aspect. The enforcement in rule of law as the research findings was as follows: 1) service mechanism in DPM-PTSP required regulating power to optimize organizational function, 2) the regulation aspect should be reviewed adequately to ensure legal protection was given to service innovation made by employees, 3) regulations available in DPM-PTSP Gorontalo were overlapping. It restricts the director to stipulate planning standards as one of the corrective acts in DPM-PTSP services, 4) rule of law could selected mechanism and protect all employees, so a transparent, accountable, effective and efficient public service could be achieved and 5) optimization in regulation might elevate public service quality, develop an investment climate and increase both regional and national economic growth. http://ijaems.com/detail/problems-in-bureaucratic-planning-process-supporting-quality-of-public-services/ Podungge Wahab Abdul, Asna Aneta, Ansar Made, Juriko Abdussamad http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/2IJAEMS-10820205-Problems.pdf The performance of government apparatuses was important in the implementation process of government organization activities and programs. Several aspects such as organizational culture, work motivation, and leadership were influential in the implementation. The objectives of this research were to analyze and to find whether or not female leadership competency, organizational culture and work motivation directly affected the performance of government apparatuses. This wasquantitative research using exploratory survey method. Data were collected using questionnaire and interview. Data were analyzed using PLS (Partial Least Square) approach with an assistance of SmartPLS 3.1 application. The findings showed that female leadership competency, organizational culture and working motivation did not haveany significant direct effect on the performance of government apparatuses. However, female leadership competency gave an indirect significant effect on the performance of government apparatuses, mediated by both working culture and work motivation. http://ijaems.com/detail/the-effect-of-female-leadership-competency-organizational-culture-and-work-motivation-on-apparatus-performance-in-the-government-of-gorontalo-district/ Nirmala Afrianti Sahi, Arifin Tahir, Rauf A. Hatu, Rosman Ilato http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/3IJAEMS-10820203-TheEffect.pdf Public services operated by the government agencies in Gorontalo were not in accordance with procedures. People almost were not informed about public services they could obtained. They were also reluctant to complain about the poor services. In fact, public services by government agencies had been regulated in Law of 2007 on The Second Amendment to Regulations Number 3 of 2005 on Duties and Authorities of Regents and Deputy Regents as well as Regional Government Officials in Performing Technical Tasks. The objective of this research was to find effects of bureaucratic behavior, organizational culture, and leadership on public services in the local government of Gorontalo. This research used survey method. Data were collected using several instruments i.e. observation, interview, documentation, questionnaire, and literature review. Validity test was conducted using the value of Standardize Loading Factor (SLF); while reliability test was using the value of Cronbach Alpha (CA). The research findings showed that bureaucratic behavior, organizational culture and leadership simultaneously provided positive effects for public services in the government agencies of Gorontalo. http://ijaems.com/detail/effects-of-bureaucratic-behavior-organizational-culture-and-leadership-on-public-services-in-the-local-government-of-gorontalo/ Robin Pakudu http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/4IJAEMS-10820204-Effectsof.pdf Over the years, higher education has been the subject of intense debate and discussion, as the traditional teaching approach, based on theoretical knowledge, concepts and information is no longer sufficient. In chemical engineering courses, this practice is no different, but with the dynamics of the current world and the increasingly competitive job market, it is essential to train professionals with creative, multidisciplinary skills, able to develop reflective thinking. Thus, the crucial challenge in terms of teaching quality in engineering is based on identifying ways to encompass the social and technological changes in the current world in the manner of teaching. An excellent alternative is to increase students' contact with the practice since it allows the execution of theoretical concepts. Therefore, the main objective of this work is to present the importance and positivity of pedagogical experience that occurred with the theory-practice integration implemented in the “Management and Treatment of Effluents” class from Chemical Engineering program at the UNILA, Brazil. A practical activity was developed where students, under the professor's supervision, developed a project of a water treatment plant, after conducting expository classes and technical visits in industries that have wastewater treatment. Once the project was concluded, a survey was sent to the students to gather opinions regarding the activities carried out. From authors and students, this sort of activity represents an interesting tool in the teaching/learning process, since it stimulated the development of some multidisciplinary skills besides the students' motivation in the program. http://ijaems.com/detail/theory-practice-interaction-in-engineering-teaching-pedagogical-experience-in-the-management-and-treatment-of-effluents-course-from-chemical-engineering-program/ Adriano Gomes Paixão da Silva, Sidmara Bedin, Karine Zanella http://ijaems.com/upload_images/issue_files/5IJAEMS-108202011-Theory.pdf This research was made to determine the effectiveness of selected small-scale pharmacy store owners in Cabanatuan City, Philippines in terms of their financial management that will focus on cash and accounts payable management. It involved 16 small-scale pharmacy businesses operating near the government hospitals in Cabanatuan City such as Dr. Paulino J. Garcia Memorial Research Center, Manuel V. Gallego, Cabanatuan City Hospital, and Eduardo L. Joson Provincial Hospital. These Small-Scale Pharmacy Business includes sole proprietorships and partnership type of business, Other pharmacy stores located in the same area were not included because they belong to the corporate type of business. The outcome of this research will be useful and valuable to the Small-Scale Pharmacy Store owners and it will provide necessary pieces of information about management styles which could be of significant help to the small-scale pharmacy store owners. It can also help them to be more efficient in handling their cash and accounts payable through the help of the recommendation by the researcher. To the Product Suppliers, the outcome of this study will be helpful to the suppliers of different small-scale pharmacy stores in the matter of mode of payment and incentives given to the owners which are most important to motivate them to sell more. To the Investors, the results of this study can help investors who want to have a small-scale pharmacy store in terms of cash and payable handling and dealing with problems that their business might encounter. To the Philippine Economy, the results of this study will strengthen and back up the economy of the Country. Since the study aims to evaluate the business profile of the small-scale pharmacy store owners including managing their working capital, it also includes the evaluation of the competitiveness of their business. This only means that the study wishes to find out more about the nature of the existence of the said enterprises as well as their relationship to their suppliers and customers. Lastly, this will also be beneficial to future researchers to draw pertinent results to their studies. The researcher also wishes to evaluate the literacy of selected small-scale pharmacy businesses within the City of Cabanatuan, Philippines along with the areas of cash management and accounts payable management using the descriptive method of research. http://ijaems.com/detail/financial-management-of-pharmacies-in-the-city-of-cabanatuan-philippines/ Alvin Gino M.
