Why Do Educational People Commit Corruption in Communicating Their Personal Brands?
B. S. Wijaya, Muhammad Taufiq Amir, & Jurica Lucyanda
Abstract
Amid the increasingly fierce competition, personal branding has become necessary for modern workers today, including professionals in education. This article explores why people in the educational milieu, especially higher education, commit corruption in communicating their brands. We conducted interviews and one-on-one discussions with ten people who work as instructors, researchers, and structural officials in educational institutions. We identified three main reasons motivating them to commit corruption in personal brand communication: financial reasons, managerial reasons, and communicative reasons. Financial reasons refer to economic goals in improving self and family well-being and meeting daily and long-term needs. On the other side, managerial motives refer to organizational performance goals that impact personal career advancement. Meanwhile, communicative intentions apply to imaging related to the need for identity and social recognition. This research can reference decision-makers to assess performance and determine what rewards or punishments are suitable for individuals in their organizations.

Why do people ignore the ‘plastic bag diet’ campaign? An Indonesian consumers perspective

Abstract
As an effort to minimize the climate change impact, reducing plastic waste is urgently needed. Unfortunately, so far this effort has not yielded maximal results, even though the ‘plastic bag diet’ campaign has been intensified. This paper interrogates the reason why Indonesian consumers/shoppers disregarded and did not even care about the campaign. Using Focus Group Discussion, the authors discussed with two groups of different shoppers, namely the regular shoppers and non-regular shoppers. The discussion is divided into three topics. First, the habit of using plastic shopping bags. Second, awareness of avoiding the use of plastic shopping bags. Third, the possibility to adopt an eco-friendly lifestyle. The results show that both regular and non-regular shopper groups do not mind paying 200IDR for plastic shopping bags because it is financially not detrimental, and they are reluctant to bring their shopping bags. Besides being troublesome, some of the participants also considered it old-fashioned. However, non-regular shoppers tend to have an awareness of environmental preservation better than regular shoppers. Therefore, we conclude several factors that cause consumers to ignore the ‘plastic bag diet’ campaign, including functional, social, cultural, and structural reasons.

Abstrak: Dalam komunikasi, hak publik atau khalayak adalah menerima pesan yang disampaikan komunikator secara utuh sesuai fakta, baik fakta normatif maupun fakta kontemplatif yang mengacu pada kaidah kebenaran berdasarkan hati nurani dan tanggung jawab moral. Korupsi komunikasi adalah perbuatan atau peristiwa dalam proses komunikasi yang mengurangi hak publik atau khalayak dalam menerima pesan secara utuh dan benar sesuai fakta, baik fakta normatif maupun fakta kontemplatif dengan memanfaatkan kekuasaan, kekuatan atau kewenangan yang dimiliki. Tulisan ini memaparkan dan membahas berbagai dimensi koruptivitas komunikasi, baik dari dimensi pesan, media, konteks dan perilaku yang kerap dijumpai di berbagai lingkup aktivitas komunikasi seperti komunikasi politik, komunikasi pendidikan, komunikasi pemasaran, komunikasi korporat, komunikasi media massa, bahkan dalam lingkup komunikasi antarpribadi. Untuk menggambarkan tinggi-rendahnya tingkat koruptivitas suatu komunikasi, maka penulis menawarkan sebuah rumus Koruptivitas Komunikasi yang terdiri dari unsur-unsur N (communication Needs) plus P (Power) pangkat O (Opportunity) kurang Ar (Audience right) yang dikalikan dengan Cs (Conscience) plus R (moral Responsibility).
