Abstract

Administrasi lembaga pendidikan adalah fondasi utama manajemen yang menjamin kelancaran proses belajar mengajar demi tercapainya tujuan pendidikan. Data administrasi sangat vital bagi semua pelaku pendidikan, mulai dari kepala sekolah dan guru untuk pengelolaan harian, pengawas pendidikan sebagai bahan supervisi, hingga Dinas Pendidikan di berbagai tingkatan (kecamatan sampai provinsi) untuk pelaporan, pembinaan, serta penyusunan rencana dan program pendidikan masa depan. Pendidikan Anak Usia Dini (PAUD) merupakan upaya pembinaan anak usia 0-6 tahun melalui rangsangan pendidikan agar siap memasuki jenjang pendidikan selanjutnya. Pos PAUD Bintang Harapan Kelurahan Kramas, Tembalang, Semarang, sebagai salah satu lembaga PAUD, sangat bergantung pada tata kelola administrasi yang tertib dan teratur. Namun, di Pos PAUD Bintang Harapan, ditemukan masalah signifikan: belum tersedianya tenaga administrasi yang kompeten di bidangnya, dan ketersediaan peralatan edukasi yang masih kurang. Kondisi ini mengakibatkan kemampuan serta keterampilan administrasi pada guru dan tenaga administrasi di sana perlu ditingkatkan secara serius. Oleh karena itu, pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kompetensi tata kelola administrasi perkantoran bagi para guru dan tenaga administrasi di Pos PAUD Bintang Harapan. Kegiatan ini akan dilaksanakan melalui metode pelatihan dan pendampingan. Diharapkan, peningkatan kemampuan ini akan membawa dampak positif berupa peningkatan efisiensi, mutu, dan perluasan kinerja di dunia pendidikan.

Abstract

The problems that arise are the lack of co-creation product development, low technology utilization, and organizational difficulties in adapting to market changes. From these problems, this study offers the role of dynamic capability (DC) to be adaptive during market changes by optimizing organizational resources in creating creativity. DC requires the role of virtual leadership (VL) and relational capital (RC) to encourage creative performance (CP). The evidence gap is another problem in the form of contradiction in the research results on the influence of VL on CP, which are still inconclusive. This research empirically tests the role of DC with VL and RC as antecedent variables that can be used as strategies for achieving CP. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling to obtain 180 respondents who are creative industry leaders in Central Java. This study uses the perspective of dynamic capability theory (DCT). The analysis tool is structural equation modeling (SEM), which is processed using AMOS software. The results of this study empirically prove that the role of DC can be fully mediated. This study provides practical contributions for managers to encourage organizational members to improve sensing, learning, integration, and reconfiguration capabilities in using virtual technologies and networked organizations.

Abstract

Teachers represent the core human capital within educational systems, serving as the pivotal agents in embedding character education into early childhood curricula framed by the principles of child-friendly schools. This study aims to identify teachers’ competence following storytelling-based character education training and to examine their readiness to utilize Augmented Reality (AR) technology embedded in innovative storybooks as a medium for character formation among Early Childhood Education (ECE) students. Using a quantitative descriptive approach and cluster analysis, data were collected from ECE teachers who had completed training on storytelling and AR-based pedagogical practices. The descriptive findings reveal diverse levels of pedagogical knowledge, digital literacy, and creative implementation, while cluster analysis delineates teacher profiles based on readiness and competence dimensions. Grounded in Intellectual Capital Theory, this study conceptualizes teachers as strategic assets whose cognitive and relational capital underpin the effectiveness of educational innovation. Drawing on Experiential Learning Theory, the integration of AR storybooks is interpreted as a reflective and active learning process that enhances teachers’ capability to design meaningful, technology-enhanced learning experiences. The study contributes to the literature on human capital development in education by offering managerial implications for differentiated professional learning strategies that foster innovation capability and sustain intellectual capital growth in ECE institutions.

Abstract

The furniture export performance study departs from an awareness decline in Export Performance (EP) and an innovation index below Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and the Philippines in 2021. Thus, this paper aims to build an empirically tested model to build EP. The critical concept is the importance of building innovation through learning and utilizing learning to transform current challenges into opportunities to address various challenges. Organizations must get an agile work team by building Energizing Team Learning (ETL). ETL is offered to strengthen Digital Technology (DT), whose use has been strategically attached to the furniture industry to achieve performance and provide various solutions to problems facilitated by Opportunity Recognition (OR). This study's theoretical gap contradicts the DT to EP research results. The direction of this paper is to develop an appropriate strategy to encourage the presence of EP through ETL, which is used to facilitate the presence of OR to create EP. This research involved 194 furniture exporters in Central Java. The analytical method used is Structural Equation Modeling with the AMOS 22 analysis tool. This study uses the perspective of Knowledge-Based View Theory and empirically proves that DT has an insignificant effect on EP, and ETL and OR managed to mediate DT to EP fully. The strategy to optimize EP is to strengthen DT in the organization, build learning agility through ETL, and apply learning contexts in capturing OR so that implementing this strategy provides empirical evidence to be an optimal strategy. Managers need to make practical implications for the contribution of knowledge built up through the talents of people placed in ETL.

Abstract

Child-friendly school education is education with a pleasant learning atmosphere and supports teachers’ ability to implement active, collaborative, and democratic learning in the context of edutainment. Child-friendly school education programs are considered capable of strengthening the character of children to become individuals with noble character. In 2020, Indonesia had 36,766 child-friendly schools spread across the country. However, the current implementation of child-friendly schools is still not optimal considering the many phenomena of bullying problems that are increasingly rampant. This is in line with the data that in Indonesia there were 12,285 children experiencing violence, and the data continued to increase in 2020 to 12,425 and 2022 as many as 15,972 children. This quantitative study included 138 teacher respondents. The obtained data were analyzed using a structural equation model with SmartPLS software. This research builds a model that involves the Variables Of Technology Knowledge And Teaching Aids as endogenous variables with Educational Competence as a mediating variable to improve Child-Friendly School Performance. The results revealed that the model built fit is proven that Educational Competence can leverage Teaching Aids and Technology Knowledge on Child-Friendly School Performance with the best path being Teaching Aids->Educational Competence-> Child-Friendly School Performance, with a total effect of 0.239198. This research contributes to the body of knowledge of Constructivism Theory.

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

Islamic studies in Indonesia are rapidly expanding in the financial realm. Sharia-based financial calculations are an important element in ensuring compliance with Islamic Sharia in various financial products and services affiliated with the halal food industry. The principle of sharia calculation in the halal industry includes the formulation of prohibitions such as interest (riba), gambling, fraud, and loss. As a Muslim-majority nation, Indonesia holds significant potential to lead in Islamic economics, particularly in finance. However, the management of information systems in the halal food sector remains underdeveloped, with many halal companies relying on conventional systems instead of Sharia-compliant solutions. This study seeks to address the identified issue by developing a Sharia-compliant information system for the food and beverage industry where the existing information system acquires halal, infaq, sadaqah, and waqf calculations by uploading without involving tax obligations. Data collection was conducted from halal-certified companies with branch offices in Semarang and Surakarta, while user requirements were defined through technical discussions with main managers and branch heads to ensure system relevance. Implementation of system development methods using a prototype approach by acquiring system development theory. In its contribution, feedback from users who are business people in the halal industry includes sharia after tax, displaying suppliers of products that have the legality of halal certification and product prices that are above the price of potential products: so that even though halal production costs more, the resulting information system will be able to control these costs. This system is able to reduce and control costs so that the company remains in the profit corridor.

Abstract

The intensifying competition in Indonesia’s coffee industry necessitates a deep understanding of the factors influencing purchase decisions. This study examines the effects of Consumer Value, Consumer Trust, and Product Variety on Purchase Decision, with Perceived Quality serving as a moderating variable. An associative quantitative approach employing moderation analysis was conducted on 675 urban coffee consumers who drink coffee at least four times per week, using a 1–6 Likert scale questionnaire. Classical assumption tests indicated no multicollinearity (VIF < 10) or heteroscedasticity (Sig. > 0.05). Although the data were not normally distributed, regression analysis remained valid due to the large sample size. Multiple regression results revealed that Consumer Value (β = 0.337; p < 0.001), Consumer Trust (β = 0.164; p < 0.001), and Product Variety (β = 0.173; p < 0.001) have significant positive effects on Purchase Decision, with Consumer Value being the strongest predictor. The Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) further indicated that Perceived Quality significantly strengthens the relationship between Consumer Trust and Purchase Decision (β = 0.125; p < 0.001), but does not moderate the effects of Consumer Value or Product Variety. These findings reinforce the commitment-trust theory and the means-end model, highlighting the synergistic role of perceived quality in enhancing the influence of trust on purchase decisions. Practically, coffee businesses should maintain a high perception of quality through quality assurance, certification, and product consistency to maximize the impact of trust, while simultaneously sustaining product value and variety to achieve competitive advantage.

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.
