Abstract

Human Capital as an intangible asset is the key to building Readiness for Change (RTC), which is rooted in Self-Efficacy (SE) and Job Satisfaction (JS), which in several previous studies were not significant. Human capital refers to the role of Individuals as important agents in organizations based on the existence of Personal Characteristics (PC) that facilitate the achievement of SE and JS to improve RTC. The purpose of the study is to offer Affective Commitment (AC) as mediating variable in the nexus between SE and JS. This study uses a quantitative approach with 124 school principals in Indonesia, employing Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine Affective Commitment (AC) in bridging the gap between SE and JS on RTC. The results of empirical testing using SEM instruments processed with AMOS software show that AC can fully mediate JS (B= 0.614) on the RTC. However, AC utilizes only part of SE (B= 0.390) in the RTC. This finding confirms that the best path to building an RTC through PC strengthening is through JS and AC. The principal, in their capacity as an organizational leader, holds a pivotal role in cultivating an environment conducive to fostering self-efficacy (SE) and establishing a cohesive, innovative atmosphere that emphasizes the influence of personal character on job satisfaction. Moreover, it is imperative for the principal to advocate for continuous enhancement of knowledge and expertise through structured training, autonomous learning, and collaborative knowledge-sharing practices. This finding contributes to the body of knowledge in the perspective of commitment from Human Capital.

Abstract

Mbangkong Village is predominantly inhabited by young people, accounting for 58% of the total population. Most of the youth in this village, especially women, do not pursue higher education and tend to marry at an early age. This socio-demographic condition has limited the community's livelihood choices, which are primarily concentrated in agriculture, animal husbandry, and micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). One of the MSMEs that partnered in this community engagement program is a free-range native chicken farming business that generates monthly revenue of IDR 8–10 million. Although market demand for native chicken continues to grow, the business faces a 35% supply gap that has yet to be addressed. The partner MSME faces several core challenges, including: (1) inadequate security of the farm area due to the absence of proper fencing, making it vulnerable to external threats; (2) limited managerial capacity in business planning, management, and evaluation, which are still carried out using traditional methods; and (3) lack of product diversification, with income solely dependent on the sale of live chickens and eggs, without any value-added products. This community engagement program aims to provide comprehensive solutions through three main approaches: (1) improving production capacity by building or repairing chicken coops and securing the farm area to make it safer and more productive; (2) providing entrepreneurship management training for MSME actors and local business communities in Mbangkong Village to enhance their business sustainability skills; and (3) developing derivative products from native chicken to increase added value and expand market reach. The expected outcomes of this program include: (1) improved farm safety and productivity through physical infrastructure enhancement; (2) strengthened managerial knowledge and skills of the MSME partner through entrepreneurship training; and (3) increased business income through product diversification and market development. Ultimately, this program is expected to strengthen the MSME partners' economic resilience and promote sustainable local economic growth.

Abstract

Currently, the fashion industry continues to grow and increase, but there is a problem gap in the form of declining demand for orders and stagnant fashion products, which has an impact on 3,000 textile factory workers in Sukoharjo Regency who have been laid off. The problem gap needs to be resolved through the collaborative roles of the sectors in the quadruple helix consisting of the fashion industry, universities, government, and civil society. Therefore, the research question is how does the fashion industry build innovation through the support of sectors in the quadruple helix? The purpose of this study is to identify the role of the quadruple helix in encouraging the fashion industry to create innovations that have an impact on employment. The research method used was a qualitative study with the informants being the Industry Office as the government sector, two fashion MSMEs as industry sector representatives, one university in Indonesia as the university sector, and a sample from civil society. The results of this research indicate that the industry sector is the primary driver of innovation, universities provide foundational knowledge for other sectors, and the government plays a role in maintaining the smooth operation of the fashion industry through policies. Additionally, civil society is responsible for evaluating the work of industry, universities, and government policies. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on the quadruple helix innovation theory.
