Abstract

The interactions among teachers, facilities, leadership, and administrative systems influence the quality of educational services. A holistic approach is necessary to understand how morale, cooperation, professional practices, and facility management improve the effectiveness of early childhood education services. This study aims to analyze the effect of school principal leadership on the quality of Early Childhood Education services. The research used a quantitative correlational method with questionnaires administered to 35 respondents. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS through validity, reliability, and t-statistics tests to ensure the instruments' accuracy and the significance of variable relationships. The research findings revealed that school principal leadership (SPL) had a positive and significant impact on service quality (SQ), with an Original Sample of 0.791, a T-statistic of 17.960, and a P-value of 0.000. This indicates that morale, cooperation, active and professional learning, as well as the utilization and maintenance of equipment, play a significant role in creating quality administrative services and optimizing the use of school facilities. In conclusion, SPL significantly influences SQ, suggesting that morale, cooperation, professional learning, leadership, and the use of facilities are crucial in improving administrative service quality and overall school effectiveness.

Abstract

The "Crabs in a Barrel Syndrome" (CBS), a behaviour characterised by undermining peers to maintain one’s own position, can hinder collaboration and innovation in Early Childhood Education (ECE) institutions. This study aims to examine how CBS manifests in the workplace culture of ECE teachers and to explore collaborative leadership strategies to mitigate such behaviours. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving 9 participants across three ECE centres in Merauke, Indonesia. Thematic analysis was conducted using Braun and Clarke’s six-step framework. The findings reveal that CBS manifests as fear of dominance, resistance to change, and avoidance of open collaboration. However, interventions such as weekly reflection forums, collective appreciation systems, and participatory leadership proved effective in fostering trust, enhancing team cohesion, and nurturing a more constructive work environment. This study concludes that organisational designs that promote psychological safety and transparent communication are essential in countering harmful competitive cultures. Theoretically, the research contributes to the understanding of micro-organisational dynamics in educational settings, while practically, it offers concrete recommendations for ECE administrators to cultivate inclusive and collaborative workplaces.

Abstract

Crab mentality, often described as a tendency to obstruct or undermine the success of others, poses a significant challenge to collaboration and human resource development (HRD) within higher education institutions. This study employed a qualitative phenomenological approach to explore how academics experience crab mentality, how they interpret and cope with it, and what implications it holds for HRD strategies. Data were collected from 15 purposively selected participants, including lecturers, administrative staff, and unit heads, at university X in Papua, Indonesia, through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The findings reveal that crab mentality manifests through passive-aggressive behaviors, lack of collegial support, resistance to innovation, and the downplaying of others’ achievements. Participants described feelings of isolation, mistrust, and alienation, which undermined their motivation and willingness to engage in collaborative projects. Organizational factors such as hierarchical structures, individual-based promotion systems, and competitive reforms aimed at achieving world-class university status further reinforced the prevalence of crab mentality. Despite these challenges, participants demonstrated coping strategies including endurance, selective collaboration, and seeking support from trusted peers. The study highlights that crab mentality directly contradicts the goals of HRD by weakening professional development, obstructing leadership cultivation, and reducing organizational learning capacity. To mitigate these effects, strategic HRD interventions are recommended, including team-based reward systems, transformational leadership development, structured mentoring programs, and transparent HR policies. These interventions are critical for fostering an academic culture that values collaboration, inclusivity, and innovation, thereby strengthening both institutional cohesion and global competitiveness.

Abstract

Buti Village, located on Arafura Street, Merauke Regency, South Papua Province, is home to Indigenous Papuans (OAP) from the Marind Tribe whose livelihoods are closely connected to traditional fishing activities. The village is endowed with local fishery resources, particularly gastor fish (Channa striata), which has the potential to be further developed into value-added products to support community-based economic activities. Strengthening the capacity of local communities through skills development and entrepreneurship support is therefore considered an important step in optimizing this local potential. This community service activity was designed to support community empowerment through entrepreneurship training and hands-on assistance in processing gastor fish into marketable products. The activities were carried out through several stages, including mapping local potential, technical training on fish processing, assistance in packaging and branding, and basic marketing guidance. The program resulted in the development of five gastor-based products marketed under the GASTOMER brand, including fish crackers, nuggets, shredded fish (abon), gastor chili sauce, and organic fertilizer derived from fish waste. Beyond product development, the program also contributed to improving practical skills, encouraging community participation in small-scale entrepreneurship, and supporting local economic initiatives based on available resources. Overall, the activity highlights the importance of community-based empowerment programs as a practical approach to strengthening local capacities and supporting sustainable economic development in Buti Village. ABSTRAK Kampung Buti di Jalan Arafura, Kabupaten Merauke, Provinsi Papua Selatan merupakan kampung yang mayoritas dihuni oleh Orang Asli Papua (OAP) dari Suku Marind dengan mata pencaharian utama di sektor perikanan. Kampung ini memiliki potensi sumber daya ikan gastor (Channa striata) yang cukup melimpah dan berpeluang untuk dikembangkan menjadi produk olahan bernilai ekonomi. Namun, pemanfaatan potensi tersebut masih memerlukan penguatan melalui peningkatan keterampilan pengolahan, manajemen usaha, dan inovasi produk. Kegiatan Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat ini bertujuan untuk meningkatkan kapasitas masyarakat melalui pelatihan kewirausahaan dan pendampingan pengolahan ikan gastor menjadi produk UMKM. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan partisipatif melalui tahapan identifikasi potensi, pelatihan produksi, pendampingan pengemasan dan pelabelan, serta penguatan strategi pemasaran produk. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan bahwa masyarakat mampu menghasilkan lima produk olahan ikan gastor dengan merek GASTOMER yaitu kerupuk, nugget, abon, sambal ikan gastor, dan pupuk organik berbahan limbah ikan yang memiliki nilai ekonomis. Kegiatan ini juga meningkatkan keterampilan masyarakat dalam pengolahan produk, menumbuhkan semangat kewirausahaan, serta membuka peluang pengembangan ekonomi keluarga berbasis potensi lokal. Dengan demikian, program ini menunjukkan bahwa pemberdayaan masyarakat berbasis sumber daya lokal dapat menjadi strategi yang efektif dalam mendorong kemandirian ekonomi dan penguatan kapasitas masyarakat Kampung Buti.
