Innovative Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Policies Based on Local Wisdom: Towards an Inclusive and Sustainable Development Model
type: item
description: Although Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has been widely adopted, most implementations in developing countries tend to be oriented towards regulatory compliance and biased towards the economic-environmental dimension. This approach often ignores local socio-cultural aspects, thus triggering low social legitimacy and program sustainability. To fill this gap, this study examines innovation in CSR policy through the integration of local wisdom values as the basis for inclusive and sustainable regional development. Using the theoretical framework of the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and Triple Bottom Line (TBL), this study employs a qualitative case study with an exploratory approach to analyze the dynamics of CSR policy in Banyuwangi Regency, Indonesia. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with 15 key informants, document analysis, and field observations involving government actors, companies, and local communities. The results show that CSR policy in Banyuwangi has undergone a transformation from a philanthropic and regulatory approach to a participatory policy model rooted in local culture. This policy innovation is concretely realized through the institutionalization of the values of Gugur Gunung (collective work), Sambatan (mutual cooperation), and Tanggap ing Sasmita (social sensitivity) into the Regional Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMD), orchestration of multi-actor coalitions in which local governments act as policy intermediaries, and transformation of programs into sustainable partnerships focused on empowering creative MSMEs and conserving green tourism. Theoretically, this study contributes by integrating ACF and TBL in the local cultural context to form a hybrid model of CSR policy innovation. Practically, the results offer strategic direction for local governments and companies in designing CSR programs that are socially just, sustainable, and responsive to local cultural values.

Institutional Framework for Protecting Communal Land Rights in Customary Villages (The Case Study of Pengastulan and Sumberklampok, Bali, Indonesia)
type: item
description: Communal land rights in Bali face increasing threats from land commercialization, tourism development, and legal uncertainties, highlighting the need for robust governance mechanisms that integrate formal state regulations and customary institutions. This study examines how these institutional systems interact to protect communal land rights in Pengastulan and Sumberklampok villages. Using Scott's four-pillar institutional framework, we conducted a qualitative constructivist study involving 26 informants, including customary leaders, government officials, and community members, through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. Results show contrasting institutional capacities: Pengastulan exhibits strong customary legitimacy, cohesive social norms, and resilient cultural practices, but faces pressures from privatization and tourism; Sumberklampok demonstrates weaker customary institutions, relying more on legal advocacy and collective mobilization due to prolonged agrarian conflicts. Findings indicate that effective communal land protection depends on the dynamic interplay of regulatory, normative, cultural-cognitive, and habitual dimensions rather than formal legal recognition alone. The study contributes theoretically by extending institutional governance frameworks to customary land contexts under legal pluralism and offers practical insights for adaptive, collaborative approaches that integrate state administration with local customary mechanisms to strengthen communal land resilience.

Motor Vehicle Tax Amnesty and Transfer Fee Exemption on Taxpayer Compliance: The Moderating Role of Tax Socialization
type: item
description: Motor vehicle tax and motor vehicle ownership transfer fee are important sources of local own-source revenue. However, low taxpayer compliance constrains the optimization of regional revenue. This study examines the effects of motor vehicle tax amnesty and motor vehicle ownership transfer fee exemption on motor vehicle taxpayer compliance, with tax socialization as a moderating variable. This study used a quantitative approach involving 113 respondents selected through incidental sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to test the direct effects and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to examine the moderating effect of tax socialization. The results show that motor vehicle tax amnesty has a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance (p = 0.029), and motor vehicle ownership transfer fee exemption also has a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance (p = 0.003). Furthermore, tax socialization weakens the effect of motor vehicle tax amnesty on taxpayer compliance (p = 0.025), but strengthens the effect of motor vehicle ownership transfer fee exemption on taxpayer compliance (p = 0.018). These findings indicate that tax socialization plays different moderating roles across tax incentive policies. Therefore, tax authorities should adjust their communication strategies according to the characteristics of each incentive policy to improve taxpayer compliance.

Legal Protection and Liability of Anesthesiologists in High-Risk Medical Procedures: A Normative Juridical Study
type: item
description: Medical complications in anesthesiology frequently create legal disputes due to the unclear distinction between inherent medical risks and medical negligence in Indonesian healthcare practice. Previous studies generally discuss medical malpractice broadly, while limited research specifically examines legal protection and proportional liability for anesthesiologists in high-risk medical procedures. This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection for anesthesiologists and determine the limits of their legal liability within the Indonesian healthcare legal system. This research uses a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and case approaches. Primary legal materials include Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health, the Civil Code, and the Criminal Code, supported by legal doctrines and scholarly literature. The analysis applies qualitative legal reasoning through systematic interpretation and doctrinal analysis. The findings show that legal protection for anesthesiologists consists of preventive and repressive mechanisms. Preventive protection is implemented through professional standards, standard operating procedures, informed consent, medical records, and patient safety systems. Repressive protection is conducted through mediation, medical audits, disciplinary proceedings, and litigation as a last resort in resolving medical disputes. The study also finds that legal liability in anesthesiology only arises when unlawful conduct, fault, damage, and causality are cumulatively proven. The novelty of this study lies in positioning anesthetic complications as inherent medical risks rather than automatically categorizing them as malpractice. The research contributes to the development of proportional medical liability theory and strengthens a standard-based approach in Indonesian health law.

Bounded Agility in Hybrid Organization: Bridging Fiscal Duties and Regulatory Constraints in Lembaga Manajemen Aset Negara
type: item
description: The transformation of public organizations into hybrid entities has created increasing complexity in governance, particularly when administrative flexibility must coexist with strict fiscal compliance. In the Indonesian public sector context, the State Asset Management Agency (Lembaga Manajemen Aset Negara/LMAN), operating as a Public Service Agency (Badan Layanan Umum/BLU) while simultaneously registered as a Taxable Entrepreneur (Pengusaha Kena Pajak/PKP), faces unique institutional challenges in balancing its dual mandate of public service delivery and fiscal compliance. This study aims to analyze LMAN's institutional strategy in managing fiscal duty through an agile governance perspective. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach, utilizing in-depth interviews with nine key informants from within and outside the organization, supported by observation and document analysis. Data were analyzed using an interactive model developed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings indicate that agile governance in LMAN is not solely driven by structural transformation but emerges through flexible work processes, adaptive decision-making, and the active role of human resources in responding to the dynamics of change. Organizational agility is supported by cross-unit coordination and the use of technology as a supporting tool rather than a primary driver. This study identifies the concept of bounded agility, which is a form of organizational agility that operates within the constraints of institutional regulations and strict fiscal compliance. These findings highlight that agility in public organizations is process-driven and actor-centered, rather than structurally imposed. This study contributes to the literature by extending agile governance theory to the context of fiscal compliance in public organizations, offering a new perspective on how adaptive capacity is shaped under institutional regulation. Practically, this study provides insights for policymakers …

Collaborative Intelligence and Digital Agency: Women’s Lived Experiences in Navigating Human-AI Interaction on Canva
type: item
description: The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed digital creative practices, enabling users to produce visual content through AI-assisted design platforms. However, limited research has explored how everyday users experience collaboration with AI tools in creative production, particularly in relation to maintaining digital agency and creative control. This study aims to explore women’s lived experiences in interacting with Canva AI during visual content production and to understand how collaborative intelligence and digital agency emerge in AI-assisted creative practices. The study employed a qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven women who actively use Canva AI in their digital content production activities. The analysis identified four key experiential dimensions: reflexive agency, collaborative intelligence, ethical and cultural filtering, and digital empowerment. Participants treated AI-generated visuals as preliminary materials requiring human interpretation, refinement, and contextual judgment before publication. Canva AI was perceived as a co-creative partner that accelerated idea generation while preserving human control over the final design decisions. The findings suggest that collaborative intelligence in AI-assisted creativity functions as a partnership between human interpretation and technological support, where human agency remains central in shaping digital communication practices.

The Effectiveness of Budget Simulation Training in Improving Budget Preparation and Control Capabilities in MSMEs: The Role of Management Accounting Mediation
type: item
description: Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in economic development; however, many experience high failure rates due to weak financial management capabilities, particularly in budgeting and financial control. Limited understanding of systematic budgeting and the lack of practical financial training often prevent MSME actors from effectively planning and monitoring their financial resources. Strengthening budgeting competencies through structured training interventions is therefore essential to improve the financial sustainability of MSMEs. This study aims to examine the effectiveness of budget simulation training in improving budget preparation and control capabilities among MSME actors, while considering the mediating role of management accounting practices. This study employed a quantitative approach using a one-group pretest–posttest quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 112 MSME actors selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using questionnaires administered twice, namely before the training and four weeks after the intervention. Data analysis was conducted using paired sample t-tests and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that budget simulation training has a positive and significant effect on budgeting skills (β = 0.347) and management accounting practices (β = 0.642). Management accounting practices also significantly influence budgeting skills (β = 0.468). Furthermore, management accounting practices partially mediate the relationship between training and budgeting skills, with a variance accounted for of 46.4%. These findings suggest that MSME capacity-building programs should integrate simulation-based budgeting training with guidance on the implementation of management accounting systems. This study contributes by integrating Experiential Learning Theory, Contingency Theory, and the Resource-Based View into a unified framework and empirically te…

From classroom to market: The role of brand identity and local cultural values in building customer loyalty for vocational teaching factory products
type: item
description: Teaching Factory (TEFA) programs are designed to connect classroom-based vocational education with real market production, positioning polytechnics as hybrid institutional–commercial actors within regional innovation ecosystems. However, sustaining the commercial viability of TEFA products remains a structural challenge. This study investigates the role of brand identity and local cultural values in strengthening customer loyalty toward TEFA products at Politeknik Negeri Jember. Employing a quantitative explanatory design with path analysis on data collected from 215 respondents, the study examines both direct and mediated relationships among brand identity, perceived cultural values, and customer loyalty. The results indicate that brand identity significantly influences customer loyalty directly (β = 0.412, p < 0.01) and indirectly through local cultural values (β = 0.153, p < 0.01), with the model explaining 46.1% of the variance in loyalty. These findings suggest that culturally embedded branding enhances institutional credibility and supports the transition from educational production to sustainable market engagement. The study contributes to the understanding of how branding mechanisms operate within vocational innovation systems and regional knowledge-based economic development contexts.

Digital Human Resource Management and Its Effect on Human Resource Efficiency: Empirical Evidence from Manufacturing Companies in Batam, Indonesia
type: item
description: Digital transformation has fundamentally reshaped human resource management (HRM) practices in the manufacturing industry. Although many organizations have adopted Human Resource Information Systems (HRIS), their utilization often remains limited to administrative functions, thereby constraining their strategic potential. This study aims to examine the impact of Digital Human Resource (Digital HR) implementation on Human Resource Management efficiency in manufacturing companies. Employing a quantitative explanatory research design, data were collected from 40 human resource practitioners in manufacturing firms in Batam, Indonesia, using a structured questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale and purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that Digital HR implementation has a positive and significant effect on HRM efficiency (β = 0.670; p < 0.001), with a moderate explanatory power (R² = 0.449) and a substantial effect size (f² = 0.352). Multidimensional analysis indicates that the most significant improvements occur in process integration and decision-making readiness, rather than merely in administrative speed and data accuracy. These findings suggest that Digital HR functions not only as an operational tool but also as a strategic driver for enhancing organizational efficiency. This study contributes to the literature by validating the applicability of the Electronic Human Resource Management framework and the Technology Acceptance Model in a labor-intensive manufacturing context. Practically, the findings offer valuable insights for organizations seeking to optimize HR performance through digital transformation initiatives.

Understanding Purchase Intention through Customer Relationship Management, Brand Equity, and Perceived Value: A Qualitative Study of Modern Retail Consumers in Sumatra
type: item
description: In the increasingly competitive modern retail context, understanding the formation of purchase intentions has become essential. Accordingly, this study aims to explore how purchase intentions are shaped through customer relationship management (CRM), brand equity, and perceived value, while also considering the roles of perceived product quality and price perception among modern retail consumers in Sumatra. To achieve this objective, an exploratory qualitative approach was employed to capture consumers’ experiences and subjective interpretations in the purchase decision-making process. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews with regular customers of modern retail outlets in Sumatra and subsequently analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and key themes. The findings indicate that purchase intentions are formed through an integrative evaluative process rather than through isolated assessments of product attributes. In this process, CRM fosters trust and emotional comfort, while brand equity reduces perceived risk by providing a sense of consistency and reliability. Furthermore, perceptions of product quality and price are interpreted contextually, shaping consumers’ judgments of fairness and functional value. These elements ultimately converge in perceived value, which acts as a central mechanism linking consumer experiences to purchase intentions. Overall, this study contributes to the marketing literature by offering a more context-sensitive understanding of purchase intention formation and provides practical insights for retailers in developing relationship-oriented and value-based strategies.

Enhancing STEM Education through IoT-Based Distance Monitoring Projects in High Schools
type: item
description: This community service program was conducted in response to the demands of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, which requires stronger digital literacy and practical STEM competencies in schools. The program aimed to introduce IoT-based STEM learning to teachers and students at Situraja State Senior High School (SMAN Situraja), a rural school in West Java, Indonesia, to enhance digital literacy and promote hands-on STEM education. To achieve this, the program implemented an IoT-based distance monitoring project using an ultrasonic sensor, an ESP32 microcontroller, and the Blynk platform through a project-based learning approach that included lectures, collaborative practical sessions, and interactive feedback activities. The program was evaluated using post-activity questionnaires administered to both teachers and students to capture their perceptions of the learning activities and outcomes. The results showed highly positive teacher responses, with 75–100% of participants selecting "strongly agre across all evaluation items, including 100% agreement on understanding IoT data transmission and the relevance of STEM integration. Student feedback also indicated positive motivation toward STEM learning, with 48% of students strongly agreeing that the activity increased their interest in STEM. However, student responses related to physics concept understanding and real-world application were more varied, with up to 48% selecting neutral responses in these areas. This difference suggests that teachers more readily recognized the instructional relevance of the program, while some students were still adapting to newly introduced IoT and physics concepts.

Community-Based Educational Intervention to Enhance Higher Education Aspirations among Underprivileged Students
type: item
description: Higher education plays an important role in improving quality of life and breaking the cycle of poverty. However, economic limitations often prevent underprivileged students from pursuing university education. This study aimed to enhance higher education aspirations among students from social assistance recipient families in Batu Putuk Village, Teluk Betung Barat District, Bandar Lampung City, Indonesia, using the Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach. The program involved educational socialization, motivational activities, academic mentoring, and university entrance examination preparation for 30 students from economically disadvantaged households. The results of the self-awareness questionnaire indicated a significant increase in students’ motivation toward higher education. Approximately 94% of participants expressed strong motivation to obtain better employment opportunities and reduce dependence on social assistance in the future, while 88% were determined to improve their family’s socioeconomic conditions. In addition, 94% of students reported increased family awareness regarding the importance of higher education. Scholarship opportunities and parental support were identified as major factors influencing students’ aspirations to pursue university education, each reported by 88% of participants. These findings highlight the importance of educational empowerment, accessible financial support, and cross-sector collaboration in increasing higher education participation among underprivileged students.

Sociopragmatic Functions of Sumimasen and Gomennasai in the Film Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou
type: item
description: Apology expressions play an important role in maintaining interpersonal relationships in Japanese communication. Among the commonly used expressions, sumimasen and gomennasai perform distinct sociopragmatic functions depending on situational context and speaker–listener relationships. However, learners of Japanese often experience difficulty distinguishing the appropriate contexts for using these expressions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the sociopragmatic functions of sumimasen and gomennasai in film dialogue. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using sociopragmatic analysis. The data were collected from the animated film Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou through observation and note-taking techniques. A total of fifteen utterances containing the expressions were identified and analyzed based on their contextual functions. The findings reveal that sumimasen performs two main functions: avoiding conflict and expressing dissatisfaction (two instances) and maintaining attitudinal distance (one instance). Meanwhile, gomennasai appears more frequently and functions as a marker of attitudinal distance (six instances) and as an expression of sincere apology (six instances). These findings suggest that the choice between sumimasen and gomennasai is strongly influenced by interpersonal relationships and emotional context within the narrative interaction.

Community Facilitators and Volunteers as a Model for the Implementation of Local Government Development in West Papua
type: item
description: Volunteer participation has become an important element in local development implementation, especially in regions where public service delivery faces geographical, institutional, and social constraints. In areas with dispersed communities, limited service capacity, and recurring health and disaster-related pressures, volunteers and community facilitators often support the implementation of government programs at the community level. This study examines how media visibility represents volunteer participation in local government development implementation in West Papua. Using media-based content analysis, this study mapped 55 publicly indexed news reports published in 2024–2025 based on volunteer role, location, period, source, and search query. The findings show that reported volunteer activities were concentrated in hub areas, particularly Sorong and Manokwari. Health-related activities, especially blood donation, dominated public reporting, while education, social support, and environmental activities received less attention. The media also tended to frame volunteering as institution-led and programmatic service rather than community-based mutual aid. These findings indicate that media visibility may create representational bias by privileging accessible locations, formal institutions, and standardized activities. This bias can affect how volunteer contributions are recognized in local development policy and may reduce attention to less visible community-based initiatives. The study contributes a repeatable media-based approach for identifying visibility bias in volunteer reporting and provides empirical insight for improving equity-oriented development implementation in geographically dispersed regions.

Evaluation of the Gerakan Nasional Revolusi Mental (GNRM) Policy in Improving Tolerance and Harmony among Religious Communities
type: item
description: The Gerakan Nasional Revolusi Mental (GNRM) [National Mental Revolution Movement] aims to strengthen Pancasila values however, its implementation in multicultural Jakarta continues to face challenges related to value consistency, interagency coordination, and public participation. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the GNRM policy in improving tolerance and harmony among religious communities, identify supporting and inhibiting factors, and formulate reflective strategies to strengthen value-based governance in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study uses a qualitative approach with the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) evaluation model. The data was collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis involving 25 informants, including policymakers, religious leaders, and civil society organizations. The analysis was conducted through open, axial, and selective coding to establish thematic relationships between empirical findings and conceptual reflections. The main findings show that: (1) GNRM contributes positively to strengthening social tolerance, discipline, and cooperation among citizens; (2) there are still limitations in bureaucratic synchronization and reflective monitoring mechanisms; and (3) local leadership commitment and interfaith collaboration are key supporting factors. This study introduces the concept of Value-Based Policy Evaluation, which integrates moral, social, and bureaucratic dimensions into public policy analysis. Overall, the results confirm that value-based governance can bridge bureaucratic systems and social culture to achieve sustainable policy outcomes. The policy implications emphasize the need to institutionalize Pancasila values through an adaptive and learning-oriented governance framework at the central and regional levels.

From Line to Logic: STEM Learning Based on Line Follower Robot Program for Vocational Students' Logical Thinking Development
type: item
description: In the current digital era, logical thinking skills and technological understanding are increasingly essential for vocational high school (SMK) students preparing to enter a technology-driven workforce. This community service program aimed to strengthen students’ logical thinking skills through STEM-based learning activities focused on the configuration and programming of line follower robots. The program was conducted over one month and comprised three stages: focus group discussion with school partners, development of instructional materials, and training sessions. The training involved 17 students. Participants were introduced to fundamental concepts of line follower robots, including basic logic, sensors, and programming principles, and then applied this knowledge through practical tasks. Evaluation results showed that 76% of students expressed increased interest in further learning robotics, while all participants (100%) successfully completed the assigned task of programming the robot to navigate from the starting point to the finish line. These findings indicate that robotics-based learning effectively supports the program’s objective of enhancing logical thinking while simultaneously increasing students’ engagement with STEM concepts. By integrating theoretical explanations with direct practice, the line follower robot served as an accessible and meaningful medium for translating abstract logical reasoning into concrete technological applications. The main contribution of this community service activity lies in offering an applied STEM learning model for vocational high schools, particularly in contexts with limited prior exposure to robotics. This program provides a practical reference for integrating educational robotics into SMK learning environments to strengthen logical reasoning, technical competence, and students’ motivation to pursue STEM-related fields.

Enhancing Halal Certification Compliance Among MSMEs Through Asset-Based Community Development: Evidence from Coastal Tourism in Indonesia
type: item
description: The implementation of mandatory halal certification policies in Indonesia presents significant challenges for micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), particularly in tourism-driven coastal areas where regulatory literacy and procedural readiness remain uneven. This study aims to examine whether an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach can enhance halal certification readiness among MSME actors operating in Pahawang Beach and Klara Beach, Lampung Province. Employing a quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design combined with qualitative triangulation, data were collected from 50 MSME participants through structured surveys, focus group discussions, and field observations. The intervention focused on strengthening regulatory awareness, procedural literacy, attitudinal readiness, and behavioral commitment toward halal certification. The findings indicate substantial improvements across knowledge and compliance indicators, including increased understanding of legal obligations, certification timelines, and administrative sanctions, as well as a marked rise in certification registration interest and application behavior. The results further reveal that prior barriers were predominantly procedural rather than ideological, and that participatory mentoring effectively reduced informational asymmetry while activating community-level support networks. By integrating regulatory compliance with asset-based empowerment, this study advances halal governance scholarship and demonstrates that community-driven facilitation can function as an effective intermediary mechanism between statutory mandates and MSME institutional engagement. The implications suggest that mandatory halal certification policies should be accompanied by localized participatory capacity-building strategies to ensure inclusive compliance, particularly within emerging halal tourism ecosystems.

The Effects of Influencer Marketing and Flash Sale Discount Programs on the Purchasing Decisions of Generation Z Consumers in the Digital Era
type: item
description: As businesses increasingly compete for the attention of Generation Z consumers in digital marketplaces, understanding whether purchasing decisions are driven more by social influence or promotional incentives has become a critical issue for developing effective marketing strategies. Although influencer marketing and flash sale discount programs are widely used in e-commerce, previous studies have predominantly examined these strategies separately, providing limited evidence regarding their relative association with Generation Z consumers’ purchasing decisions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between influencer marketing and flash sale discount programs and the purchasing decisions of Generation Z consumers in the digital era. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method involving 192 students from the Faculty of Economics and Business at Mitra Bangsa University, selected through random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results indicate that influencer marketing has a path coefficient of 0.361 on Generation Z purchasing decisions, while flash sale discount programs have a path coefficient of 0.592. These findings demonstrate positive relationships between both variables and purchasing decisions, with the relationship between flash sale discount programs and purchasing decisions being relatively stronger than that of influencer marketing. This study contributes to expanding the understanding of factors associated with Generation Z consumers’ purchasing decisions by integrating influencer marketing and flash sale discount programs into a single research model.

Problems and Strategies for Developing Sharia Fintech in Indonesia: Regulatory, Operational, Technology, Financing, and Human Resources Perspectives
type: item
description: The development of financial technology (fintech) in Indonesia has increased significantly over the past two decades, expanding access to digital financial services, including payments, financing, and investment. Amid this trend, Islamic fintech has emerged as an alternative that operates in accordance with Sharia principles, such as the prohibition of riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maisir (gambling). However, its implementation continues to face challenges in regulatory, operational, technological, financial, and human resource aspects. This study aims to identify the main problems facing Islamic fintech in Indonesia and to formulate development strategies from regulatory, operational, technological, financial, and human resource perspectives. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with informants, including industry practitioners, regulators, and academics, focus group discussions (FGDs), document analysis, and field observations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain in-depth insights. Data analysis employed thematic analysis and content analysis, with triangulation used to ensure the credibility of the findings. The results reveal several key issues, including the absence of optimal and specific regulations for Islamic fintech, low levels of digital Islamic financial literacy, limited technology-based supervision, and challenges in integrating technology with the existing Islamic financial ecosystem. Financial challenges are also prominent, particularly the risk of default in Sharia-compliant peer-to-peer (P2P) lending services and limited funding sources. The implications of this study highlight the importance of strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing Islamic financial literacy, utilizing big data and artificial intelligence for Sharia-compliant credit scoring, and developing integrated human resources to strengthen the inclusion and competitiveness …

Analysis of Work Competence and Work Discipline on Performance Integrity within Organizational Settings under Transformational Leadership among Correctional Officers in Indonesia
type: item
description: Performance integrity of correctional officers in Indonesia has received increasing attention amid growing demands for professionalism and transparency, as well as various reports of procedural violations. This situation underscores the need to examine internal factors influencing integrity, particularly work competence, work discipline, and the role of transformational leadership. This study aims to investigate the relationships between work competence and work discipline on the performance integrity of correctional officers in Indonesia, assess the moderating effect of transformational leadership, and identify which factors most significantly impact integrity within correctional institutions. A quantitative approach was employed through a survey of 351 active correctional officers from various institutions across Indonesia, with data analyzed using PLS-SEM version 4.0.9.9. The findings indicate that work competence has a strong and significant effect on performance integrity, whereas work discipline and transformational leadership do not have significant effects, either directly or as moderators. These results emphasize that enhancing technical and functional competencies is key to improving integrity. This study is limited to quantitative analysis and does not encompass qualitative aspects, such as organizational culture, moral values, or interpersonal dynamics. Practically and theoretically, this research contributes to human resource management in correctional institutions by providing evidence-based insights and serving as a policy reference for implementing competency-focused strategies to strengthen officer integrity. The novelty of this study lies in its emphasis on individual capability as a more influential factor on integrity than structural mechanisms such as discipline or leadership style, challenging the common assumption that administrative discipline or leadership alone can foster integrity.

Bibliometric Analysis-Based Scientific Article Writing Training for Lecturers
type: item
description: Enhancing lecturers’ research productivity is a strategic priority in higher education, particularly in institutions where publication performance is constrained by limited research mapping skills and low bibliometric literacy. This study addresses the need to strengthen lecturers’ ability to identify research trends, position manuscripts strategically, and target reputable journals through a structured bibliometric training model. The community service program aimed to develop and evaluate a participatory bibliometric training framework to improve scientific article writing. Eight lecturers from the Diploma III Mechanical Engineering and Applied Bachelor MICE programs at PNJ PSDKU Demak were selected using purposive sampling, based on their active involvement in research activities and interest in improving publication skills. The training consisted of sequential stages: introduction to bibliometric concepts, systematic data retrieval from Scopus, article screening using PRISMA and PICOS, data visualization with VOSviewer and Biblioshiny, and guided manuscript development. Participants’ cognitive improvement was measured using structured pre-test and post-test instruments assessing bibliometric understanding and research mapping skills, administered through an online questionnaire. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and the normalized gain (N-Gain) method. Results showed a significant increase in participants’ competencies, with N-Gain scores ranging from 0.72 to 0.80, indicating high improvement. The findings demonstrate that integrating bibliometric mapping into academic writing training enhances strategic research awareness beyond technical writing skills. This model reconceptualizes bibliometric tools as pedagogical instruments and provides a practical, replicable framework for improving lecturers’ publication performance and supporting sustainable quality education.

Accounting Students’ Ethical Perceptions of Creative Accounting: The Impact of Intellectual, Emotional, and Spiritual Intelligence
type: item
description: The increasing number of financial statement manipulation cases in various large companies indicates weakened integrity and ethics in accounting practices. This condition highlights the importance of developing ethical perceptions early in the education process, particularly for accounting students as future professional accountants. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of intellectual intelligence, emotional intelligence, and spiritual intelligence on accounting students’ ethical perceptions regarding creative accounting practices. This research employs a quantitative approach with a survey method using a questionnaire. The study population consists of 170 accounting students from the 2020 cohort at STIE Pembangunan Tanjungpinang, with a sample of 63 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the JASP software. The results indicate that intellectual and spiritual intelligence have a significant effect on students’ ethical perceptions, while emotional intelligence does not have a partial effect. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly influence ethical perceptions of creative accounting practices. These findings suggest that enhancing intellectual and spiritual intelligence can strengthen the professional ethics of future accountants. This study contributes to the development of accounting education grounded in ethical and spiritual values.

Enhancing Public Transit Ridership through Mixed Use: A Case Study of Pulo Gebang Terminal
type: item
description: Pulo Gebang Terminal, the largest bus terminal in Indonesia and Southeast Asia, continues to face challenges in attracting ridership. Despite its modern infrastructure, passenger levels remain relatively low due to concerns about safety, comfort, and competition from private vehicles. This study aims to identify and propose effective strategies to increase ridership through a mixed-use development approach. Using a quantitative descriptive design combined with qualitative insights, the research employed stakeholder interviews, user surveys, direct observations, and secondary data analysis. The SWOT analysis revealed both internal strengths, such as the integration of health and administrative services, and external opportunities, such as the use of multipurpose spaces, alongside critical weaknesses related to security and service quality. Findings indicate that developing multifunctional facilities, including retail, offices, hotels, entertainment venues, and essential public services, can enhance user comfort, improve service quality, and strengthen the terminal’s integration with its surrounding urban environment. The study contributes to the discourse on sustainable transit-oriented development by demonstrating how mixed-use terminal design can increase ridership while optimizing urban land use. The results provide practical recommendations for policymakers and terminal managers in enhancing Pulo Gebang’s role as a key transportation hub and multifunctional urban center.

Economic Empowerment Strategies Through Entrepreneurship in Reducing Household Waste
type: item
description: Household waste mismanagement remains a pressing issue in many regions, including Darul Imarah, Aceh Besar, Indonesia, leading to environmental degradation, health risks, and inefficient land use. Despite the persistence of poor waste management practices, community-driven entrepreneurial initiatives have emerged as an alternative pathway to strengthen the local economy and foster environmental awareness. This study aims to explore economic empowerment strategies through entrepreneurship to reduce household waste and promote community welfare. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected via semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and document analysis involving 50 purposively selected participants, including entrepreneurs, community members, government officials, and environmental experts. Findings reveal that waste-based entrepreneurship has increased household income by 20–30%, generated over 100 jobs within two years, and reduced waste volume entering landfills by up to 35%. Compost production yielded the highest income growth (30%) and waste reduction (40%). Despite these benefits, challenges such as limited access to capital, inadequate infrastructure, and market barriers persist. This study contributes novelty by integrating the concepts of shared value and social business to show how local entrepreneurship can simultaneously drive economic and environmental outcomes. It also incorporates bibliometric mapping to visualize key thematic relationships in the field. In conclusion, a collaborative, policy-supported approach involving the government, private sector, and communities is crucial to sustaining waste-based entrepreneurship as a scalable model for green economic empowerment.
