Abstract

The Organizational Performance Value (NKO) of the Regional Office of the Directorate General of State Assets (DJKN) North Sumatra rose consistently from 112.4% in 2021 to 115.94% in 2025, yet this trend runs counter to several job satisfaction indicators: attendance rates and participation in self-development activities declined, while sick leave usage, personnel complaints, and overtime hours increased. This paradox suggests underlying job satisfaction issues not reflected in organizational performance outcomes. This study examines the effects of job characteristics and employee engagement on job satisfaction among civil servants (ASN), with work-life balance as a mediating variable. A quantitative explanatory survey was conducted on 117 ASN respondents at the Regional Office of DJKN North Sumatra, with the sample size determined using the Slovin formula and respondents selected through proportionate stratified random sampling across five work units. Data were analyzed via SEM-PLS with SmartPLS 4. Results indicate that both job characteristics and employee engagement positively and significantly influence job satisfaction and work-life balance. Work-life balance positively and significantly affects job satisfaction and emerges as the strongest predictor in the structural model. Work-life balance partially mediates the relationships between job characteristics and job satisfaction, and between employee engagement and job satisfaction. These findings underscore that enhancing ASN job satisfaction requires simultaneous attention to job redesign, engagement reinforcement, and work-life balance assurance in public sector organizations

Abstract. Saraan M, Rahmawaty, Harahap RH, Hilmi E, Delvian, Sibarani R. 2025. Agroforestry-based plant diversity and its implications for ecosystem restoration in Gunung Leuser National Park, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 26: 6367-6377. The Indonesian government promoted conservation partnership schemes in Gunung Leuser National Park (GLNP) to resolve land-use conflicts while supporting ecosystem restoration and local livelihoods, where communities implement agroforestry that combines native species and Multi-Purpose Tree Species (MPTS). However, empirical evidence on plant diversity and vegetation composition within these systems remains limited. This study analyzes vegetation structure, species composition and plant diversity in conservation partnership areas and assess their contribution to ecosystem recovery, including provides recommendations for sustainable management. Vegetation surveys were conducted on 1-ha plots across three stations representing upper, middle, and lower areas. Species composition, dominance, and diversity were quantified using Importance Value, Shannon–Wiener and Margalef Species Richness Index. The upper area was dominated by native dipterocarps (Dryobalanops aromatica), while lower areas were characterized by cultivated MPTS (Parkia speciosa), reflecting trade-offs between natural regeneration and livelihood-oriented agroforestry practices. Species diversity ranged from moderate to high, with native species concentrated near rehabilitation zones and cultivated species in lower areas, which are intensively managed by communities. Overall, agroforestry within conservation partnership enhances biodiversity, supports ecological recovery, and strengthens livelihoods while offering scalable pathways for integrating restoration and biodiversity enhancement with community-based forest management. Strengthening native-species enrichment is recommended to balance ecological objectives with community needs and guide large-scale restoration policies.
