Abstract

The successful political communication between politicians and the general public demands the utilization of social media, including TikTok, which is currently being utilized by the Golkar Party in preparation for the 2024 elections. This article examines the strategies of political communication in utilizing social media as a means of a political campaign, along with the potential opportunities and challenges that arise during the campaign. This research employs a qualitative descriptive method, collecting primary data through interviews with informants from the Golkar responsible for managing their official TikTok account. The research was conducted from October 2022 to January 2023. The results show that the utilization of TikTok by the Golkar as a campaign platform is driven by several reasons, including adaptation to reach the younger generation, leveraging TikTok’s unique features and wide reach, alignment between party leadership and team enthusiasm, expanding efforts towards democratic campaigns, and being a pioneer among political parties in TikTok utilization. This process involves audience acquisition, content direction, and human resource management. Planning the target audience and message, content design, key messages, and audience interaction are crucial aspects. The experience of Golkar can serve as an example of utilizing TikTok in politics. Challenges faced include content direction, staying up-to-date, consistency, software proficiency, and consolidating the user base.

Abstract

Cohesiveness is a key aspect of group communication, as it reflects the degree of attachment members feel toward their group and how relationships can be maintained over time. However, existing studies on cohesiveness are predominantly examined from psychological perspectives, while communication as a process of social exchange has received less attention. This article aims to examine group cohesiveness using Social Exchange Theory, by placing communication as the main mechanism in social exchange. The method used in this study is a literature review of previous studies related to Social Exchange Theory, group communication, and cohesiveness. The findings indicate that cohesiveness develops through communication processes that facilitate interaction and social exchange, where group members evaluate their relationships based on perceived benefits and costs. Therefore, group cohesiveness can be understood as a relational outcome that emerges from ongoing communication within the group.

Abstract

Background: Existing research on face negotiation tends to overlook short-term leadership exchange programs, resulting in a limited understanding of how participants navigate the contrasting communication styles between Southeast Asian high-context cultures and the low-context culture of the United States. Purpose: This study aims to examine the intercultural communication strategies and identity negotiation practices of participants in the Young Southeast Asian Leaders Initiative (YSEALI) 2022–2025 cohort during their exchange in the United States, with a particular focus on how they manage self-face, other-face, and mutual-face concerns. Methods: Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 11 participants representing 11 Southeast Asian countries and analyzed using Stella Ting-Toomey’s Face Negotiation Theory. Results: The findings indicate that self-face was primarily expressed through symbolic cultural representations rather than direct verbal confrontation, whereas other-face concerns were managed by avoiding sensitive topics to preserve interpersonal harmony. Mutual-face was achieved through inclusive and collaborative communication styles that emphasized group cohesion and shared understanding. Conclusion: The study concludes that Face Negotiation Theory provides a valuable framework for understanding how individuals from collectivist cultures adapt in short-term intercultural exchanges, demonstrating that cultural identity can serve as a bridge rather than a barrier to effective communication. Implications: These findings have important implications for advancing efforts to reduce social inequalities, suggesting that program organizers should implement targeted pre-departure orientations focusing on intercultural communication styles to enhance participants’ adaptability and foster more inclusive interactions.
