Abstract

This study examines how return-to-work practices are implemented for workers with acquired disabilities following work-related accidents in a remote plantation setting in Indonesia. It explores how return-to-work responsibility is enacted at the workplace level and whether existing practices align with the principles of responsible return to work in labor-intensive, geographically isolated settings. Using a qualitative case study approach, the research draws on in-depth interviews with injured workers and organizational actors, supported by workplace observations. Data were analyzed thematically using the responsible return to work framework, which encompasses legal, economic, moral, and discretionary dimensions. The findings show that return-to-work is primarily implemented as employment retention rather than meaningful reintegration. Legal and economic responsibilities emphasize procedural compliance and income continuity, while moral responsibility is framed through organizational care that often takes a paternalistic form. Discretionary responsibility is largely exercised by supervisors, leading to uneven outcomes shaped by managerial judgment and operational constraints. The study positions return-to-work as an organizational and industrial relations process influenced by power dynamics and contextual limitations, demonstrating how fragmented responsibility constrains dignity, participation, and sustainable work trajectories.

Abstract

Purpose. This research examines the influence of union instrumentalism and transformational leadership on job performance, mediated by job security and job satisfaction. In promoting the effectiveness of organizational transformation, trade unions and transformational leadership play a crucial role in the sustainable management of human resources. Methods. Quantitative approach with Covariance Based SEM with a total of 370 respondents used for data analysis, using Lisrel. Findings (plan). The research findings reveal that the instrumentalism of labor unions is positively related to job security, job security mediates the relationship between the instrumentalism of labor unions and job performance, the instrumentalism of labor unions positively affects job satisfaction, transformational leadership has a positive relationship with job security, and job satisfaction mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and job performance. Originality/novelty. There are not many studies that integrate trade unions and transformational leadership to evaluate job performance in the context of organizational transformation, particularly in Indonesia. The contribution of this research to the literature is to provide empirical evidence regarding the impact of union instrumentalism and transformational leadership on job performance. Similar studies are still rare in Indonesia, thus enriching the research on the topic..
