Abstract

This study aims to investigate the flexing phenomenon on social media, exploring its position between financial education and ostentatious displays of wealth, with a focus on its implications in criminal law aspects in Indonesia. The research employed a qualitative methodology, utilizing interviews with key stakeholders, focus group discussions, analysis of social media content, and a comprehensive literature review. Additionally, the study incorporated comparative analysis with other Southeast Asian countries to provide regional context. The results reveal a complex interplay of social, legal, and educational factors surrounding the flexing phenomenon. Key findings include: (1) a significant divergence in perceptions of flexing among different stakeholders, with influencers viewing it as inspirational while legal experts express concerns about potential legal scrutiny; (2) the effectiveness of flexing as an educational tool when balancing success stories with practical financial advice; (3) a notable knowledge gap among social media users regarding the legal implications of their online behavior; (4) growing concerns about the use of social media evidence in financial crime investigations; (5) the emergence of "aspirational flexing" among younger users, raising ethical and potential legal issues; and (6) a shift in public perceptions of wealth and success due to constant exposure to luxury displays on social media. The study concludes that while flexing can serve as a powerful educational tool, it also presents significant legal risks and societal challenges that require a balanced approach to address effectively

Abstract

Transformational leadership is a dynamic approach that motivates individuals to work together in achieving organisational goals. It emerges whenever someone exhibits the ability to guide others' behaviours towards a common objective. This leadership style enables leaders to inspire their subordinates positively. The objective of implementing transformational leadership is to improve employee performance within the banking industry in North Sulawesi, Indonesia. The study focuses on three banks, namely Bank BRI, BNI, and BSG, which have branches throughout the North Sulawesi region. A total of 176 employees participated as respondents. Following the collection of data, an analytical method known as Partially Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) was employed for the purpose of analysis. The results provide empirical evidence that transformational leadership has a positive influence on employee performance, particularly in the realms of individual consideration and individual inspiration. Nevertheless, dimensions such as intellectual stimulation and inspirational motivation do not exhibit a significant correlation with performance-related activities. Moreover, the contingent reward aspect of transactional leadership does not demonstrate a significant impact on employee performance.

Abstract

Penelitian ini membahas problematika penerapan hukuman mati di Indonesia dengan menyoroti aspek hukum pidana serta dampak sosial-kulturalnya. Tujuan utama penelitian ini adalah untuk mengkaji konsistensi sistem peradilan dalam menjatuhkan vonis mati, persepsi masyarakat terhadap hukuman tersebut, serta posisi Indonesia dalam konteks hak asasi manusia internasional. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi literatur, yang menganalisis berbagai sumber sekunder seperti peraturan perundang-undangan, artikel ilmiah, putusan pengadilan, dan laporan lembaga HAM. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penerapan hukuman mati di Indonesia sering tidak konsisten dan dipengaruhi oleh tekanan sosial maupun politik. Selain itu, persepsi publik terhadap hukuman mati dibentuk oleh konstruksi budaya dan agama, serta diperkuat oleh framing media. Di sisi lain, Indonesia mengalami dilema antara mempertahankan kedaulatan hukum nasional dan memenuhi komitmen terhadap standar HAM global. Penelitian ini merekomendasikan perlunya reformasi hukum pidana yang lebih akuntabel dan edukasi publik yang menekankan pentingnya prinsip keadilan substantif. Dengan demikian, hukuman mati dapat dievaluasi secara kritis dalam kerangka negara hukum yang beradab.

Abstract

Fenomena kekerasan yang dialami perempuan karena faktor gender merupakan isu yang semakin mencuat, seiring meningkatnya kasus tiap tahun yang menunjukkan ketimpangan relasi kuasa dan belum maksimalnya perlindungan hukum yang tersedia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menelaah bagaimana sistem hukum di Indonesia mengatur bentuk kekerasan berbasis gender terhadap perempuan serta sejauh mana jaminan hukum bagi korban ditinjau dari sudut pandang hak asasi manusia. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan normatif dengan analisis terhadap ketentuan perundang-undangan dan konsep-konsep hukum relevan. Berdasarkan hasil kajian, diketahui bahwa meskipun Indonesia telah memiliki berbagai peraturan hukum nasional maupun yang diratifikasi dari hukum internasional, pelaksanaannya di lapangan belum berjalan efektif. Hambatan utama berasal dari budaya patriarki yang masih kuat, belum meratanya pemahaman aparat penegak hukum terhadap perspektif gender, serta kurangnya akses korban terhadap keadilan. Oleh karena itu, perlu adanya pembenahan menyeluruh baik dalam hal regulasi, kapasitas aparatur hukum, maupun kesadaran masyarakat luas, guna menjamin keadilan dan perlindungan menyeluruh bagi perempuan sebagai korban kekerasan gender.
