Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technologies has reshaped higher education, creating both opportunities and pressures for lecturers, particularly in resource-constrained regions. This study explores the phenomenon of technostress and its impact on lecturers' self-efficacy in Terdepan, Terluar, dan Tertinggal (3T) regions. Based on the Person–Environment Fit Theory and self-efficacy theory, the research investigates how lecturers experience and respond to digital demands amid infrastructure limitations. Using a qualitative phenomenological design, nine lecturers from diverse disciplines participated in in-depth interviews. Thematic analysis revealed five interrelated dimensions: techno-overload, techno-complexity, techno-uncertainty, the mediating role of self-efficacy, and institutional and cultural support. Digitalisation intensified workloads, platform complexity challenged senior lecturers lacking formal training, and unstable systems increased uncertainty. Higher self-efficacy fostered adaptive coping, whereas lower self-efficacy encouraged avoidance strategies. Findings highlight that technostress in underdeveloped higher education settings is not only an individual struggle but also a systemic issue shaped by weak infrastructure, inconsistent institutional support, and cultural dynamics. While self-efficacy strengthens resilience, it cannot offset structural inequities. The study extends the technostress literature in underdeveloped regional contexts and highlights the need for sustained infrastructure investment, structured training, and culturally grounded mentors to support inclusive digital transformation.

Abstract

Despite high internet penetration rates, the benefits of digitalization remain unevenly distributed in Indonesia’s densely populated urban areas. This study investigates RT/RW  Net, a community-driven internet network that has emerged as a grassroots response to the digital divide in Jabodetabek. While often viewed primarily through a legal or technical lens, the socio-economic implications of these networks remain under-explored. Using an interpretive phenomenological approach, this study analyzes data from in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving network managers, users, and local community leaders. The findings reveal that residents adopt RT/RW Net primarily due to affordability and flexible payment schemes. Beyond connectivity, these networks function as mechanisms for Community Driven Digital Inclusion (CDDI), fostering social cohesion through "digital gotong royong" and enabling micro-economic activities. However, sustainability is threatened by legal ambiguity and the risk of enforcement actions. The article concludes by recommending a regulatory framework that legitimizes community networks through cooperative licensing models to ensure inclusive digital transformation.

Abstract

The waste problem requires a multidimensional approach, especially in processing and sorting at the source, in line with the Sustainable Development Goals of achieving zero waste in the future. The waste bank program has been introduced to support waste reduction and the circular economy, but public interest in recycled products remains low. Banten Province, one of the five provinces with the highest waste tonnage in Indonesia in 2022, showed interest of only 19.3%. This study aims to identify the factors influencing public purchase intention of recycled products, with product trust as a mediating variable. Through online questionnaires and data analysis using SEM PLS, involving 158 respondents in Banten Province, it was found that environmental consciousness, environmental concern, perceived value, and perceived risk significantly influence the purchase intention of recycled products. Additionally, these factors also significantly affect product trust. Mediation analysis shows that product trust can mediate the relationship between environmental consciousness and environmental concern with purchase intention, but it is not optimal in mediating the impact of perceived value and perceived risk. Recommendations for environmental activists in Banten Province include increasing the credibility and clarity of information regarding recycled products, as well as ensuring the cleanliness and safety of these products to directly enhance public purchase intention and support the circular economy in Banten Province.
