Abstract

The industrial development of East Cirebon has generated significant employment opportunities, yet has also given rise to a persistent informal phenomenon: illicit payments — known colloquially as suap or bribery — made to individuals claiming affiliation with company HR departments in order to secure employment. This study investigates the factors driving transaction-based recruitment practices in the East Cirebon industrial area, despite formal recruitment mechanisms regulated by both companies and the Regional Manpower Office (Disnaker). Employing a qualitative approach with thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006), four informants participated: one HR leader (HR-01) and three production workers (TK-01, TK-02, TK-03). Analysis generated four core themes: (1) dualism of formal-informal recruitment mechanisms; (2) structural drivers of transactional practices; (3) power relations among key actors; and (4) ethical perception and resistance to normalization. Key findings indicate that these practices are not caused by the absence of regulation, but by structural loopholes in their implementation, exacerbated by a severe labor supply-demand imbalance (ratio 1:10), economic pressures on both sides of the transaction, and community-level social norms. Policy recommendations are offered for companies, the Manpower Office, and future researchers.

Abstract

This study examines the lived experiences of rural communities regarding the indirect transmission of the US dollar exchange rate and their perceptions of the "Dollar Immunity" (Kebal Dolar) discourse. It explicitly analyzes phenomenological responses to President Prabowo Subianto's statement made during the inauguration of the Marsinah Museum in Nganjuk, East Java, on May 16, 2026: "Rupiah begini, rupiah begitu, apa? dolar begini, dolar. Orang rakyat di desa enggak pakai dolar kok. " (Let the dollar reach however many thousands, village people don't use dollars anyway). This statement, intended to reassure the public amid global panic by asserting domestic food and energy security, constructed a narrative that rural communities are immune to foreign exchange fluctuations. Using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) combined with a vignette technique, this study involved six purposively selected informants from various socio-economic backgrounds (e.g., farmers, traders, and laborers) to capture diverse grassroots perspectives. As a knowledge translation component, an interactive dissemination microsite was developed. The findings reveal three core themes: (1) awareness of indirect transmission, where economically active informants identified exchange rate transmission channels to local prices (agricultural inputs, food, energy) without formal terminology, leading to behavioral adaptations; (2) dominant dissonance in debunking the "Dollar Immunity" myth, with four out of six informants explicitly disagreeing with the political claim based on empirical price increases; and (3) perceptions of elite–community distance. As an additional finding, the mismatch between the "Dollar Immunity" narrative and daily economic realities is aligned with an erosion of institutional trust among highly impacted informants. This research contributes to development economics by demonstrating that macro-level exchange rate transmission is phenomenologically real to rural communities, emphasizing the need for data-driven, context-aware policy communication.
