Peran Sistem Informasi Manajemen, Lingkungan Kerja, dan Pelatihan dalam Meningkatkan Kinerja Pegawai
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis peran sistem informasi manajemen, lingkungan kerja, dan pelatihan dalam meningkatkan kinerja pegawai pada PT Indosat. Latar belakang penelitian didasarkan pada pentingnya pemanfaatan teknologi informasi, kondisi lingkungan kerja yang kondusif, serta efektivitas pelatihan sebagai faktor yang berpotensi memengaruhi produktivitas pegawai di era persaingan industri telekomunikasi yang semakin ketat. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode survei, melibatkan 77 pegawai sebagai responden. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner yang telah diuji validitas dan reliabilitasnya, dengan analisis data dilakukan menggunakan metode Partial Least Square (PLS) untuk menguji hubungan antar variabel. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa sistem informasi manajemen berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja pegawai. Hal ini menegaskan bahwa penggunaan sistem informasi yang terintegrasi mampu meningkatkan efektivitas kerja dan pencapaian hasil kinerja pegawai. Sebaliknya, pelatihan memberikan pengaruh negatif namun signifikan terhadap kinerja pegawai, yang mengindikasikan adanya ketidaksesuaian dalam materi atau metode pelatihan sehingga belum memberikan kontribusi optimal terhadap peningkatan kinerja. Sementara itu, lingkungan kerja berpengaruh positif tetapi tidak signifikan, menandakan bahwa faktor ini belum menjadi determinan utama dalam memengaruhi kinerja pegawai. Temuan penelitian ini memberikan implikasi praktis bahwa manajemen perlu memperkuat penerapan sistem informasi manajemen, mengevaluasi program pelatihan agar lebih relevan dengan kebutuhan pegawai, serta tetap menjaga lingkungan kerja yang kondusif untuk mendukung produktivitas jangka panjang.

Tujuan Pembangunan Berkelanjutan Desa: Strategi Alokasi Anggaran Desa Berbasis Prioritas yang Berlandaskan Kinerja Sosial, Ekonomi, dan Lingkungan
Pengelolaan anggaran desa yang masif menghadapi tantangan krusial dalam memastikan efektivitas alokasi untuk peningkatan kinerja pembangunan multidimensi. Realitas di lapangan menunjukkan praktik pengelolaan anggaran seringkali terjebak dalam rutinitas administratif dan belum sepenuhnya berbasis kinerja, yang berpotensi menimbulkan inefisiensi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk (1) menganalisis pengaruh alokasi dana desa terhadap kinerja pilar SDGs, (2) mengidentifikasi faktor-faktor strategis yang menjelaskan perbedaan kinerja antar desa, dan (3) mengembangkan model strategi prioritas alokasi anggaran. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain metode campuran, diawali dengan analisis regresi data panel terhadap 62 desa di Kabupaten Majene (2022-2024), dilanjutkan dengan studi kasus komparatif mendalam di dua desa. Hasil analisis kuantitatif secara mengejutkan menunjukkan bahwa alokasi dana desa berkorelasi negatif signifikan dengan kinerja pilar sosial, ekonomi, dan lingkungan, mengindikasikan adanya masalah efektivitas sistemik. Analisis kualitatif mengungkap bahwa desa berkinerja tinggi berhasil mematahkan tren ini melalui paradigma "investasi strategis" yang ditopang oleh kepemimpinan visioner, perencanaan berbasis data, dan fokus pada program unggulan. Sebaliknya, desa berkinerja stagnan terjebak dalam paradigma "administrasi rutin" dan siklus "tambal sulam infrastruktur". Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa kualitas strategi alokasi, bukan besaran dana, adalah determinan utama keberhasilan pembangunan desa.

Work Environment and Career Development Opportunities on Salesman Performance: The Mediating Role of Job Satisfaction in Pasukan Garuda PT HM Sampoerna
This study investigates the influence of work environment and career development opportunities on salesman performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable, focusing on the Pasukan Garuda unit of PT HM Sampoerna in Pamekasan–Madura. A quantitative approach with descriptive and explanatory methods was employed, using a census sample of 66 salesmen. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire consisting of 19 indicators measured on a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The measurement model demonstrated validity and reliability, with factor loadings above 0.70, Cronbach’s Alpha and Composite Reliability exceeding 0.70, and AVE values greater than 0.50. The structural model showed that work environment had both direct and indirect positive effects on performance, while job satisfaction emerged as the strongest predictor and a significant mediator. Conversely, career development opportunities significantly affected job satisfaction but did not directly improve performance, and the mediating pathway was not statistically supported. The R² values indicated that predictors explained 35% of the variance in job satisfaction and 88.9% of the variance in performance. Overall, the study concludes that enhancing work environment and job satisfaction are the most effective strategies to strengthen sales force performance in competitive contexts.

Analysis of Digital Marketing Utilization: Prospects for Implementing Artificial Intelligence-Based Chatbots in Madura Snack Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)
The use of digital technology, particularly AI (Artificial Intelligence)-based chatbots, has great potential to improve efficiency and customer experience for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). However, the implementation of this technology in MSMEs, especially in Madura specialty snack MSMEs, still faces various challenges. This study uses a qualitative approach with case studies to analyze the use of digital marketing with the prospect of implementing AI-based chatbots in Madura specialty snack MSMEs. Data was collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using NVivo 15 software. The results of the analysis show that although chatbots are already in use, their use is still considered limited by certain parties. The main benefits felt are work efficiency and quick responses. However, there are several major obstacles that hinder optimization, such as the limited understanding of MSME players, technical issues related to accuracy and language, as well as concerns about costs and resistance to change due to fear of losing personal interaction. Nevertheless, expectations for chatbot development vary, with business owners focusing on system integration, while consumers and employees expect product recommendation features. This study concludes that to optimize the use of this technology, continuous education and the availability of affordable chatbot solutions are needed.

Analysis of the Application of Depreciation Methods, Useful Life, and Revaluation of Fixed Assets on Financial Performance at PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional I
This research aims to analyze the impact of depreciation methods, estimated useful life, and revaluation of fixed assets on the company's financial performance, with a case study on PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional I. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach by analyzing the company's financial statements and conducting interviews with relevant parties. The research results indicate that the depreciation method has a significant impact on financial performance, particularly in the Return on Asset (ROA), Return on Fixed Asset (ROFA), and Fixed Asset Turnover (FATO) ratios. The Declining Balance and Sum-of-the-Years' Digits methods yield higher performance ratios compared to the Straight-Line Method, especially in the initial period of asset use. Accurate estimation of useful life helps ensure the relevance of financial statements, supports the accuracy of asset provisioning, and maintains the stability of the company's equity. On the other hand, revaluation of fixed assets increases the value of assets and equity, but it also raises depreciation expenses, which can pressure net profit if not balanced with operational efficiency. This research provides recommendations for companies to choose a depreciation method that aligns with strategic needs, pay attention to accurate useful life estimates, and consider asset revaluation policies to enhance the relevance and accuracy of financial statements.

Determinasi Nilai Perusahaan dengan Profitabilitas sebagai Mediasi: Studi Kasus pada Perusahaan Sektor Energi
Penelitian ini menganalisis perubahan nilai perusahaan yang terjadi pada sektor energi yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia. Penelitian ini menggunakan sampel perusahaan sektor energi pada periode 2020-2024, dengan jumlah 247 observasi yang diuji menggunakan EViews 13. Penelitian ini memiliki tujuan untuk menguji hubungan antara manajemen modal kerja dan struktur modal terhadap nilai perusahaan dengan profitabilitas sebagai variabel mediasi. Hasil pengujian yang telah dilakukan menunjukkan bahwa manajemen modal kerja, struktur modal, dan profitabilitas berpengaruh positif terhadap nilai perusahaan. Temuan ini menunjukkan bahwa perusahaan terbukti mampu mengoptimalkan modal kerja secara optimal, serta menggunakan utang dalam mendukung kegiatan operasional perusahaan dan berdampak pada peningkatan penjualan perusahaan. Hasil pengujian manajemen modal kerja terhadap profitabilitas berpengaruh positif, sedangkan pengujian struktur modal terhadap profitabilitas berpengaruh negatif. Hal ini disebabkan oleh beban bunga yang harus dibebankan perusahaan sehingga mengakibatkan penurunan laba bersih perusahaan. Profitabilitas sebagai variabel mediasi mampu memediasi hubungan antara manajemen modal kerja terhadap nilai perusahaan secara positif, sementara profitabilitas mampu memediasi hubungan antara struktur modal terhadap nilai perusahaan secara negatif. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi tambahan terhadap penelitian sebelumnya yang membahas hubungan antara manajemen modal kerja dan struktur modal terhadap nilai perusahaan melalui profitabilitas.

Digital Marketing and Sales Performance Perceptions among Rural MSMEs: A Study in Sawang District, North Aceh
In an increasingly digital economy, many micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) face challenges in adapting their marketing strategies to remain visible and competitive, particularly in rural or underserved regions. This study investigates how MSMEs in Sawang District, North Aceh Regency, experience and perceive the impact of digital marketing on their sales performance. Using a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using regression techniques to explore the association between digital marketing efforts and perceived business outcomes. The findings reveal a consistent positive relationship, suggesting that MSMEs that actively utilize digital tools—such as social media, websites, and online search platforms—tend to report more favorable assessments of their sales performance. Although both variables were assessed through self-reported measures, and therefore reflect perception rather than objective data, the results offer meaningful insight into how digital engagement shapes entrepreneurial confidence and strategic behavior. This underscores the importance of digital literacy, content effectiveness, and platform accessibility in empowering small businesses. The study recommends enhanced support through policy initiatives, training programs, and digital infrastructure to strengthen MSME capacity. Future research should consider integrating perceptual and objective indicators to more comprehensively assess the role of digital marketing in business development.

Cultural and Environmental Services in Batang Arau River: Heritage and Sustainability
This study examines the interconnection between cultural ecosystem services, community practices, and environmental degradation in the downstream area of the Batang Arau River, Indonesia. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, archival analysis, and field observations. Findings indicate that the river functions not only as an ecological system but also as a cultural and social space, historically tied to traditions such as Selaju Sampan Dayung Palinggam and riverside livelihoods. However, ecological decline—driven by pollution, sedimentation, and weak institutional coordination—has disrupted cultural services, reduced community attachment, and weakened environmental stewardship. The results emphasize that sustainable ecosystem management (SEM) in urban river systems requires more than ecological restoration; it must also include socio-cultural revitalization and participatory governance. Theoretically, this study expands sustainability literature by underscoring the role of cultural ecosystem services and place-based identity. Empirically, it provides grounded evidence that informs inclusive policy strategies, highlighting community-based tourism, heritage conservation, and environmental education as pathways to restore ecological and cultural integrity.

Linking Competence and Work Discipline to Employee Performance Through Job Satisfaction Mediation
This study examines the effect of competence and work discipline on employee performance with job satisfaction as an intervening variable at the Department of Transportation, Agam Regency, West Sumatra. The research employed a quantitative design with a census sampling method, involving all 70 employees as respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0 with the SEM–PLS approach. Results revealed that both competence and work discipline have significant positive effects on employee performance, with discipline emerging as the strongest direct predictor. Competence and discipline also positively influenced job satisfaction, which in turn significantly enhanced performance. Mediation analysis confirmed that job satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between competence and performance, as well as between discipline and performance, with stronger effects observed for discipline. These findings highlight that employee performance improvement requires not only technical competence and behavioral discipline but also psychological satisfaction at work. The study contributes theoretically by extending human resource management literature in the public sector and practically by offering actionable insights for policymakers to strengthen discipline systems, align competencies with job roles, and enhance satisfaction through recognition and career development.

Optimizing Digital Platforms as a Strategy to Improve the Skills of Creative Industry Players in MSMEs Assisted by CIC Hub Cirebon
The rapid development of the digital economy has shifted the way micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) compete, demanding the continuous improvement of human capital to remain relevant in the creative industry sector. This study aims to analyze the effect of digital platform utilization and the challenges faced on the improvement of creative industry players’ skills in MSMEs fostered by CIC Hub Cirebon. A quantitative descriptive approach was employed, using a saturated sample of 55 respondents representing the entire population. Data were collected through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using validity and reliability tests, as well as simple linear regression with PLS. The results show that all measurement items meet convergent and discriminant validity criteria, with composite reliability > 0.70, indicating high construct reliability. The structural model yielded an R² value of 0.324, meaning that digital platform utilization and related challenges explain 32.4% of the variance in skill improvement, with significant path coefficients (p < 0.05). These findings are consistent with Human Capital Theory and the Resource-Based View, reinforcing those digital platforms are not merely marketing channels but strategic tools for structured skill enhancement. This research contributes theoretically by integrating human capital and digital capability perspectives and practically by providing a framework and training module that can be implemented to empower MSME creative industry players to compete in the digital era.

Analysis of the Effect of Firm-Generated Content (FGC) and User-Generated Content (UGC) on Brand Trust and Perceived Value mediated by Social Media Brand Engagement (SMBE): Empirical Study on Residential Property in Indonesia
This study aims to explore the impact of User Generated Content (UGC) and Firm Generated Content (FGC) on brand engagement in social media, referred to as Social Media Brand Engagement (SMBE), as well as their effects on brand trust, consumer satisfaction, and perceived value. The research employs a quantitative approach, collecting data through surveys involving 369 respondents sampled from followers of residential property brand accounts and residential property influencer accounts in Indonesia. The findings indicate that both UGC and FGC have a significant positive influence on brand trust and perceived value, with SMBE serving as a mediator in these relationships. However, the results also reveal that Social Media Influencer Endorsement does significantly moderate the relationship between FGC and SMBE, and Self-image Congruence does significantly moderate the relationship between UGC and SMBE. The results of this study provide practical guidance for companies in the property sector to leverage UGC and FGC in their marketing strategies. By understanding the importance of brand engagement in social media, companies can enhance their relationships with consumers and achieve better outcomes in digital marketing.

Adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Small and Medium Enterprise E-Commerce to Improve Marketing Performance
This study investigates the key determinants influencing the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the e-commerce sector and examines its impact on marketing performance. The research integrates the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explain the relationships among technological readiness, organizational support, environmental pressure, perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and AI adoption level. A quantitative approach employing Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was conducted on 155 e-commerce SMEs operating in Jakarta, Indonesia. Empirical results reveal that technology, organization, and environment significantly affect perceived usefulness, which in turn strongly drives AI adoption. Perceived usefulness is identified as the most powerful determinant of adoption, whereas perceived ease of use exerts an indirect influence via usefulness perception. Furthermore, AI adoption has a positive and significant effect on marketing performance, particularly in enhancing digital campaign effectiveness, product innovation, and customer loyalty. The findings emphasize that internal readiness and external competitive pressures jointly foster AI-driven digital transformation within SMEs. The study provides both theoretical validation of the TOE–TAM integration and practical guidance for policymakers and business owners to design effective, ethical, and sustainable AI adoption strategies.

Analisis Digital Marketing, Knowledge Sharing, E-WOM terhadap Niat Pembelian Layanan Program Bayi Tabung melalui Kepercayaan Konsumen
In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or test-tube babies is a form of ART that offers a solution for infertile couples. Trust in this program is very important, not only in medical personnel, but also in equipment and support services. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital marketing, knowledge sharing, and E-WOM on the intention to purchase IVF services through the mediating role of consumer trust. The data measurement technique used in the questionnaire to provide answers to each statement item is the 1-10 semantic differential scale. In this study, the data collection technique involves providing statements through Google Forms and disseminating them on social media. The data analysis technique used to draw conclusions from the study was the Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach using Smart PLS 3.2 software. This study found that digital marketing, knowledge sharing, and e-WOM have a positive and significant effect on consumer trust. Furthermore, digital marketing and e-WOM directly influence purchase intention in a positive and significant manner, while knowledge sharing does not significantly influence purchase intention directly. However, knowledge sharing can increase purchase intention through consumer trust. Consumer trust was also found to be a significant mediator in the relationship between digital marketing, knowledge sharing, and e-WOM with purchase intention.

Kepuasan Pelayanan sebagai Jembatan antara Kualitas Fasilitas dan Waktu Tunggu terhadap Loyalitas Pasien Rumah Sakit
Penelitian ini menelaah hubungan antara waktu tunggu, fasilitas rumah sakit, dan loyalitas pasien dengan kepuasan pelayanan sebagai variabel mediasi pada pasien Poli Gigi RSUD Weda, Kabupaten Halmahera Tengah, Maluku Utara. Dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dan analisis jalur berbasis SmartPLS, sebanyak 77 responden dipilih menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fasilitas rumah sakit memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap kepuasan pelayanan dan loyalitas pasien, menegaskan pentingnya aspek kenyamanan dan kelengkapan fasilitas dalam membangun kepercayaan pasien. Sebaliknya, waktu tunggu tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kepuasan maupun loyalitas, menunjukkan bahwa toleransi pasien terhadap durasi pelayanan masih relatif tinggi selama mutu layanan tetap terjaga. Kepuasan pelayanan berpengaruh positif terhadap loyalitas pasien, meskipun pengaruh tersebut tidak signifikan secara statistik. Uji mediasi juga memperlihatkan bahwa kepuasan pelayanan belum mampu menjadi jembatan antara waktu tunggu dan fasilitas terhadap loyalitas pasien. Namun, secara simultan seluruh variabel menunjukkan kontribusi bersama yang signifikan terhadap loyalitas. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa peningkatan fasilitas dan pengalaman layanan yang konsisten menjadi strategi kunci dalam memperkuat loyalitas pasien, lebih dari sekadar efisiensi waktu tunggu.

Analyzing Stakeholder Roles and Collaboration in the Development of Village-Owned Enterprises in Indonesia
The development of Village-Owned Enterprises (VoE) has emerged as a strategic instrument in Indonesia's rural transformation. However, its effectiveness and success remain uneven. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, incorporating stakeholder analysis using the MACTOR (Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts, Tactics, Objectives, and Recommendations) method. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten actors representing the pentahelix collaboration, comprising government, academics, business sector, community, and media representatives. The analysis showed that government actors served as the main drivers. Pioneering VoEs and their communities still rely on external support, while advanced VoEs were more independent and influential. The most supported key objectives among actors were the improvement of managerial skills and the dissemination of best practices in VoE management, while green business initiatives still received limited attention. These findings confirm that the success of VoE development depends on institutional capacity and effective collaboration among actors involved in achieving village economic independence. They also highlight the importance of strengthening stakeholder collaboration to accelerate rural development by aligning economic empowerment with social welfare and environmental responsibility.

Bibliometric Analysis of the Development of Research on Transformational Leadership in Social Organizations
This study aims to map publication trends, key themes, and the evolution of TL research referring to the chronological and thematic development of transformational leadership studies over time while integrating findings with relevant leadership theories. This research employs a bibliometric analysis of 92 publications indexed in Scopus (2020–2024). The keyword “transformational leadership” in the context of social organizations was mapped based on thematic clusters and annual evolution. The findings reveal a shift in TL research focus from classical themes such as job satisfaction and organizational commitment (2020–2021) toward contemporary topics such as innovation, knowledge sharing, organizational identification, and digital transformation (2023–2024). Keywords such as trust, employee engagement, and organizational performance dominate and act as mediators of organizational outcomes. Influential articles, including meta-analyses of TL and ethical leadership, studies on the mediating role of trust, knowledge management, and corporate social responsibility, strengthen the evidence of TL as a catalyst for trust, ethics, and social innovation. Cross-country analysis highlights that Pakistan, India, and Indonesia emphasize digital readiness, whereas the UK and Australia focus on psychological safety and burnout prevention.

Pengaruh Brand Congruence terhadap Intention to Join Community dengan Word-of-Mouth sebagai Variabel Moderator pada Komunitas Musik Orkes Kota Pahlawan
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh Brand Congruence terhadap Intention to Join Community dengan Word-of-Mouth sebagai variabel moderator pada komunitas musik Orkes Kota Pahlawan (OKP) di Surabaya. Ruang lingkup penelitian difokuskan pada bagaimana kesesuaian antara nilai dan identitas merek komunitas dengan kepribadian anggotanya dapat meningkatkan minat bergabung, serta bagaimana komunikasi dari mulut ke mulut dapat memperkuat hubungan tersebut. Fenomena yang melatarbelakangi penelitian ini adalah meningkatnya peran komunitas musik edukatif dalam menarik minat generasi muda untuk bergabung, namun masih ditemui tantangan dalam mempertahankan loyalitas dan partisipasi aktif anggotanya. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan pemahaman mengenai faktor psikologis dan sosial yang memengaruhi keputusan seseorang untuk menjadi bagian dari komunitas. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan teknik analisis regresi moderasi (Moderated Regression Analysis). Data diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada 65 anggota aktif komunitas OKP menggunakan skala Likert empat poin. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Brand Congruence berpengaruh positif dan mendekati signifikan terhadap Intention to Join Community, yang berarti semakin tinggi kesesuaian nilai komunitas dengan citra diri individu, semakin besar niat untuk bergabung. Namun, Word-of-Mouth tidak terbukti signifikan sebagai variabel moderator dalam hubungan tersebut. Model regresi yang digunakan mampu menjelaskan 30,81% variasi perilaku intensi bergabung. Implikasi dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa komunitas musik perlu memperkuat identitas merek dan pengalaman anggota untuk membangun keterikatan emosional yang lebih kuat, sehingga dapat meningkatkan partisipasi dan loyalitas anggota dalam jangka panjang.

Analisis Pengaruh Makro Ekonomi Terhadap Perkembangan Indeks Saham di BSI Pada Tahun 2021-2024
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh indikator makroekonomi yang terdiri dari inflasi, kurs, dan Produk Domestik Bruto (PDB) terhadap indeks saham PT Bank Syariah Indonesia Tbk (BSI) pada periode Juli 2021–Desember 2024. Penelitian ini menerapkan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan analisis regresi linier berganda. Sumber data yang digunakan berupa data sekunder yang diperoleh dari publikasi resmi Bank Indonesia, Badan Pusat Statistik, serta Bursa Efek Indonesia. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial inflasi berpengaruh negatif signifikan terhadap indeks saham BSI, yang berarti kenaikan inflasi cenderung menurunkan harga saham. Kurs juga berpengaruh negatif signifikan, sehingga pelemahan nilai tukar rupiah berdampak pada penurunan indeks saham BSI. Sementara itu, PDB berpengaruh positif signifikan, menandakan bahwa pertumbuhan ekonomi nasional mendorong peningkatan kinerja saham BSI. Hasil uji simultan (F-test) memperlihatkan bahwa ketiga variabel bebas secara bersama-sama berpengaruh signifikan terhadap indeks saham BSI dengan nilai F-hitung 23,954 lebih besar dari F-tabel 2,76 dan signifikansi 0,000 < 0,05. Nilai Adjusted R² sebesar 0,671 menunjukkan bahwa 67,1% variasi pergerakan saham BSI dapat dijelaskan oleh variabel inflasi, kurs, dan PDB, sementara 32,9% sisanya dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar model penelitian ini.

The Role of Digital Transformation in Enhancing Human Resource Management Practices in Global Organizations
This study explores the role of digital transformation (DT) in enhancing Human Resource Management Practices (HRMP) within multinational enterprises (MNEs). Employing a qualitative multi case study approach, data were collected through semi structured interviews, organizational documents, and digital implementation records across global companies. The research identifies four key areas of improvement due to digital tools: recruitment, training and development, performance management, and employee engagement. AI-based platforms, cloud based HRIS, and Learning Management Systems (LMS) have streamlined processes and enabled data driven decision making. However, the study also finds significant disparities in DT effectiveness across regions, influenced by infrastructure, digital literacy, and cultural factors. Critical organizational enablers such as digital leadership, employee digital competence, and strategic alignment were found to significantly mediate DT outcomes. The findings suggest that DT in HR should be approached holistically, integrating technology with strategic planning, change management, and ethical governance. This research contributes to the theoretical framework of digital HRM and provides practical insights for global HR leaders aiming to design adaptive and culturally responsive digital strategies. The study concludes that while digital tools offer significant potential, their success depends on organizational readiness and regional adaptability. Suggestions for future research include expanding the study to small and medium sized enterprises and analyzing sector specific dynamics.

The Influence of Organizational Culture and Leadership Style on Employees' Innovative Work Behavior at the South Coast Regional Planning Agency with Innovation Willingness as an Intervening Variable
This study examines the influence of organizational culture and leadership style on employees’ innovative work behavior, with innovation willingness serving as a mediating variable, in the South Coast Regional Development Planning, Research, and Innovation Agency (Bappeda Litbang). The research aims to determine the direct and indirect effects of organizational culture and leadership on innovative work behavior and to evaluate the role of innovation willingness as a psychological mediator. A quantitative causal associative approach was employed, with a population of 47 employees included through a census method. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire with a five point Likert scale and analyzed using path analysis in SPSS 25. The results indicate that organizational culture has a significant and positive effect on innovation willingness and innovative work behavior, while leadership style also contributes positively, albeit with a smaller magnitude. Innovation willingness strongly mediates the relationship, amplifying the impact of organizational culture and leadership on innovative behavior. The regression model shows that 53.1% of the variance in innovative work behavior is explained by the three variables. These findings suggest that fostering a supportive organizational culture and effective leadership, combined with enhancing employees’ innovation willingness, is crucial to promote innovative behavior in public institutions. The study provides practical insights for policymakers and administrators seeking to strengthen organizational innovation and develop human resources capable of adapting to dynamic and complex public sector challenges.

Analysis of Generation Z Consumer Behavior in Online Purchases: Purchase Habits and Brand Preferences in the Digital Era
This study explores the influence of Digital Information Access, Customer Reviews, and Digital Marketing on Purchase Habits and Brand Preference among Generation Z consumers in Indonesia’s online shopping environment. Using a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), data were collected from 213 respondents aged 18 to 26 who actively shop online. The results indicate that all three independent variables significantly influence Purchase Habits, with Digital Marketing showing the strongest effect. However, only Customer Reviews and Digital Marketing significantly impact Brand Preference, while Digital Information Access does not. These findings suggest that habitual purchasing behavior is primarily driven by informational convenience, while brand preference formation is more influenced by emotional and social engagement. The study contributes theoretically by integrating cognitive and affective dimensions of digital consumer behavior and practically by offering insights into strategic digital marketing tailored to Generation Z. Recommendations for further research include exploring mediating factors such as trust or social identity and conducting cross-generational comparisons to enrich understanding of evolving consumer dynamics in digital ecosystems.

Adaptive Leadership 5.0: Integration of AI and Emotional Intelligence (EQ) in the Organizational Transformation Process of Bank Muamalat West Sumatra in the Vuca Era
This study explores the role of Adaptive Leadership 5.0, an integrative leadership model combining Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ), in facilitating organizational transformation within Bank Muamalat West Sumatra in response to VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) challenges. Employing a quantitative method using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), data were gathered from 85 respondents through online surveys, complemented by qualitative insights from expert interviews. The findings reveal that while AI and EQ do not have a significant direct impact on organizational transformation, both significantly influence VUCA responsiveness. Specifically, adaptive leadership significantly enhances transformation outcomes and reduces VUCA effects. AI has a significant positive impact on VUCA but not directly on transformation, whereas EQ strongly influences VUCA but lacks direct influence on transformation outcomes. These results suggest that technological and emotional capacities function more effectively as mediating mechanisms rather than primary drivers of change. The study contributes theoretically by advancing the concept of Adaptive Leadership 5.0 within the context of Islamic banking and highlights practical implications for leadership development programs that emphasize the ethical integration of digital innovation and emotional intelligence.

Algorithmic Management and Employee Autonomy: Impacts on Creativity in Remote First Companies
This study explores the influence of algorithmic management on employee autonomy and creativity within remote first companies. As organizations increasingly rely on automated systems to assign tasks, monitor performance, and standardize workflows, concerns arise about how such systems impact workers' creative capacities. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 15 employees across various digital industries. Thematic analysis revealed that while algorithmic oversight enhances operational clarity and consistency, it also imposes rigid structures that often reduce discretionary decision making and psychological safety. Autonomy emerged as a key mediating factor: employees who retained some control over how they worked were more likely to report creative engagement, while those facing strict digital control reported demotivation and cognitive fatigue. Emotional responses, such as anxiety, trust, and detachment, were also found to shape creative outcomes. The study further identified design implications for algorithmic systems, emphasizing transparency, human override mechanisms, and participatory features that support innovation. These findings suggest that creativity and algorithmic management are not mutually exclusive but require careful system design that balances control with employee empowerment. The research contributes to a deeper understanding of how digital oversight affects innovation in distributed work settings and offers practical guidance for organizations navigating remote workforce management through algorithms.

Identify Key Drivers of Patient Dissatisfaction: Applying Importance-Performance Mapping Analysis (IPMA)
This study aims to identify the key factors contributing to patient dissatisfaction in six general hospitals operated by security institutions in East Java using the Importance–Performance Mapping Analysis (IPMA). Patient dissatisfaction generally arises from three categories of issues—clinical, management, and relational problems that influence patients’ experiences during hospitalization. Using a purposive sampling method, data were collected from 130 inpatients who had previously submitted complaints. The analysis indicates that clinical issues, particularly indicators related to the adequacy of pain management and the appropriateness of hospital meals (CPQY4 and CPQY5), fall within the high-importance and low-performance quadrant, making them the primary priorities for service improvement. Meanwhile, several indicators within the management and relational problem categories, such as RPCN2 and MPET4, demonstrate high performance but have a low impact on dissatisfaction, suggesting that these aspects are functioning well but are not the principal determinants of patient dissatisfaction. The implementation of this study includes recommendations to enhance clinical competence through integrated training programs, regular medical audits, and the refinement of complaint-handling procedures to ensure a more proactive and responsive approach. Additionally, strengthening interpersonal communication, improving inter-unit coordination, and conducting routine evaluations using IPMA are proposed to help hospitals more accurately target improvement priorities and support the development of patient-centered healthcare services.

Exploring the Digital Entrepreneurship Ecosystem in Indonesian Higher Education: Barriers, Enablers, and Strategic Empowerment
This study explores the configuration of digital entrepreneurship ecosystems in Indonesian higher education institutions (HEIs), emphasizing barriers and enabling factors that shape students’ entrepreneurial engagement. Using an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the research integrates quantitative survey data (N = 173) and qualitative interviews to examine entrepreneurial readiness, innovation capacity, and institutional support structures. Findings indicate that students demonstrate high motivation and self-efficacy but face persistent constraints related to mentorship, funding, and technical access. The qualitative phase identifies six recurring challenges—ideation and market-fit, marketing skills, time management, mentoring gaps, technical limitations, and financial barriers—revealing a fragmented yet promising ecosystem. To address these issues, the study proposes the Strategic Empowerment Model for Digital Entrepreneurship (SEM-DE), a four-lever framework emphasizing structured ideation, continuous mentoring, skill-based clinics, and micro-grant schemes. This research contributes a contextualized and actionable model for strengthening university-based entrepreneurship ecosystems and informs policy directions toward inclusive, innovation-driven higher education in emerging economies.

Achievement Operation Performance: The Role of Soft TQM to Business Performance
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in driving Indonesia’s economic growth, innovation, and job creation. However, the majority of MSMEs, particularly in the food and beverage sector, face significant challenges in quality control and operational efficiency due to limited internal resources. This study aims to investigate the effect of Soft Total Quality Management (Soft TQM) on Operational Performance and Business Performance, with Operational Performance examined as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 185 student-owned food and beverage businesses at Ciputra University Surabaya. Respondents were selected from three cohorts (2021, 2022, 2023) using a purposive sampling technique. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the help of SmartPLS software. The results indicate that Soft TQM significantly affects Operational Performance, and that Operational Performance significantly affects Business Performance. However, the direct effect of Soft TQM on Business Performance, as well as its indirect effect through Operational Performance, is not statistically significant. These findings suggest that while Soft TQM can enhance internal operations, its impact on overall business performance is contingent upon the presence of structured systems and readiness of internal capabilities. Therefore, strengthening operational systems and aligning TQM practices with organizational strategy is crucial for MSMEs aiming for sustainable competitiveness.

Entrepreneurship, Innovation, and Business Environment Adaptation: Determinants of Culinary SMEs’ Performance in Semarang
SMEs are independent productive enterprises managed by individuals or business entities that are not subsidiaries or branches of larger companies. This study aims to analyze the influence of entrepreneurial orientation, business environment adaptation, and business innovation on business performance through competitive advantage among culinary SMEs in Semarang City. The research involved 120 respondents, consisting of owners and managers of culinary SMEs in Semarang. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) method with the support of IBM AMOS 22 software. The findings reveal that entrepreneurial orientation, business environment adaptation, and innovation influence business performance through competitive advantage. However, only business environment adaptation has a direct effect on business performance without going through competitive advantage, while the other variables impact business performance only when mediated by competitive advantage. Therefore, MSME owners are advised to strengthen their adaptability, business innovation, and entrepreneurial orientation in order to face market dynamics and competition. For further research, it is highly recommended to expand the study to other MSME sectors or different regions to enrich local business development strategies.

The Role of Biodiversity Potential in Sustainable Ecotourism Development Strategy: A Case Study of Mount Sigogor Nature Reserve and Mount Picis Nature Reserve
The Mount Picis and Mount Sigogor Nature Reserves in Ponorogo Regency, East Java, are conservation areas with significant potential for high biodiversity, including habitats for protected species such as the Javan Hawk-eagle and the Javan Leopard, as well as vital environmental services. This study aims to formulate a strategy for developing sustainable ecotourism-based nature tourism in the Mount Picis and Mount Sigogor Nature Reserves, Ponorogo Regency. The data from this study were analyzed using the SWOT method, identifying internal and external factors. The area's main strengths include its ecosystem integrity and rich flora and fauna diversity, while opportunities came from local government support and the participation of buffer communities. However, significant weaknesses include limited management facilities and infrastructure, suboptimal area data, and external threats such as low community well-being and the risk of forest fires. Based on this analysis, two main strategic objectives were formulated: (1) Increasing research and education based on biological potential, and (2) Maintaining the security and integrity of the area. The implementation strategy includes developing a potential database, adding infrastructure, improving human resources, and securing the area integrated with the economic empowerment of communities in the buffer zone. The conclusion of this study is that ecotourism development in the Picis mount and Gunung mount Nature Reserve must be carried out adaptively, prioritizing conservation, and involving the active participation of local communities to ensure the sustainability of the ecological and social functions of the area.

Pengaruh Karakteristik Pekerjaan, Kepuasan Kerja terhadap Komitmen Karyawan Melalui Kedisiplinan
Dalam lingkungan kerja yang terus berubah, memahami faktor-faktor yang mampu membangun komitmen karyawan menjadi semakin penting bagi organisasi. Komitmen tidak muncul begitu saja, ia dipengaruhi oleh bagaimana pekerjaan dirasakan, seberapa puas karyawan dalam menjalani perannya, serta bagaimana kedisiplinan terbentuk dalam aktivitas kerja sehari-hari. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk melihat hubungan di antara variabel-variabel tersebut pada Bank BPR Koto Baru Tanah Datar. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kuantitatif dengan metode pengumpulan data melalui penyebaran kuesioner menggunakan teknik sampel jenuh. Analisis data dilakukan menggunakan path analysis berbasis Partial Least Squares (PLS), yang mencakup pengujian outer model, inner model, serta uji hipotesis, dengan bantuan software SmartPLS 3.0. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa karakteristik pekerjaan serta kepuasan kerja sama-sama berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kedisiplinan. Karakteristik pekerjaan juga terbukti berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap komitmen karyawan, sedangkan kepuasan kerja memiliki pengaruh negatif namun tidak signifikan. Kedisiplinan ditemukan memberikan pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap komitmen karyawan. Selain itu, karakteristik pekerjaan berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap komitmen karyawan melalui kedisiplinan sebagai variabel intervening. Namun, pengaruh kepuasan kerja terhadap komitmen karyawan melalui kedisiplinan menunjukkan hasil positif tetapi tidak signifikan.
