Abstract

Purpose – This study examines the phenomena of rationalization and bureaucratization in the Indonesian education system, focusing on teachers’ administrative burdens and complaints related to educational digitalization. The study is grounded in the growing implementation of efficiency-oriented, technology-driven education policies that aim to simplify bureaucracy but are often perceived by teachers as increasing administrative burdens. Methodology – A qualitative research design with a document analysis approach was employed. Data were collected from online media reports published by KOMPAS and Kompas.id using purposive sampling to select articles addressing teachers’ administrative workloads, bureaucratic simplification, digital education applications, and policy responses. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis, including data reduction, categorization, and thematic interpretation, guided by Max Weber’s concept of the iron cage of bureaucracy. Findings – Policies emphasizing efficiency, accountability, and administrative modernization paradoxically expanded teachers’ administrative workloads. Digitalization has generated new forms of bureaucracy that demand continuous adaptation, increase work pressure, and shift teachers’ focus from pedagogical practices to documentation and reporting tasks. Consequently, teachers’ professional autonomy is diminished, revealing a misalignment between policy objectives and teachers’ lived experiences. Novelty – This study contributes original insights by combining media discourse analysis with Weberian bureaucratic theory to reveal the unintended consequences of digitalization on teacher professionalism and identity. Significance – The study has significant implications for policymakers, school administrators, and education researchers by highlighting the need to reorient policy to prioritize pedagogical quality and teacher autonomy.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the application of the target costing method in financial management to increase profit at Studio Foto Kamoe in Jambi City, identify the challenges encountered, and examine its conformity with Islamic economic principles. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving the owner, employees, and customersselected using purposivesampling. The results indicate that target costing is implemented through market price determination, profit targeting, and cost control during the planning stage, which improves cost efficiency and profit stability without compromising service quality. The main challenges include limited capital, rising rental costs, and suboptimal marketing strategies. From an Islamic economic perspective, the implementation of target costing reflects the principles of efficiency and justice (al-‘adl and ihsan), emphasizing fair pricing and social welfare. This study contributes to the development of Islamic financial management by demonstrating the relevance of target costing in the creative service sector as an efficient and ethical financial strategy.
