Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of age, working hours, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) on the risk of occupational accidents among port workers, particularly in Work Groups 1 and 2 of the TKBM Cooperative at Sorong Port, Indonesia. Given the high number of reported accidents 40 cases in the last two years. This study highlights a critical safety issue in the maritime logistics sector. A quantitative approach with a descriptive method was employed. Data were collected from 50 dockworkers through a closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaire and direct observation. The analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 27. The results indicated that age (p = 0.085) and working hours (p = 0.340) did not have a significant effect on the risk of work accidents when considered individually. In contrast, PPE usage showed a significant impact (p = 0.008), and all three variables together had a statistically significant combined effect (p = 0.001). These findings underscore the importance of consistent PPE usage in preventing occupational accidents and suggest that integrated safety management strategies should be prioritized, especially in physically demanding work environments such as ports. This study contributes to the occupational health and safety literature by addressing a research gap in high-risk labor sectors and offers practical insights for improving policy and training programs in port labor management.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of work-life balance (WLB) and quality of work life (QWL) on employee job satisfaction within a regional banking institution in Eastern Indonesia. The research aims to explore whether a supportive balance between professional and personal life correlates significantly with job satisfaction in the context of Bank Papua's Teminabuan Branch. quantitative research approach was applied using an associative-causal method. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to all 33 employees at the branch, selected using a saturated sampling technique. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression along with t-tests and F-tests to examine partial and simultaneous effects. The results demonstrate that both WLB and QWL significantly influence job satisfaction, both independently and jointly. Employees who perceive better balance and supportive working conditions report higher levels of satisfaction. The findings further suggest that improving WLB and QWL is essential in enhancing employee morale, commitment, and overall organizational performance. This study contributes to the limited body of research on employee satisfaction in peripheral regions, highlighting the critical importance of work-life policies in government-owned regional banks. The insights provided can support the development of human resource strategies tailored to improve employee well-being in similar institutional and geographic contexts

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the role of leadership in managing regional government organizations, focusing on the Organization Bureau of the Regional Secretariat (SETDA) of Southwest Papua Province—Indonesia's 38th and newest province. This research aims to: (1) explore the role of the Bureau Head in overseeing organizational management; (2) identify factors that contribute to leadership transformation; and (3) examine the strategies and steps adopted by the Bureau Head in responding to internal and external organizational changes. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with six key informants, including the Bureau Head, structural and functional subordinates, and executive staff. The findings show that the Bureau Head exercises a delegative-democratic leadership style, which encourages participation, empowers subordinates, and aligns responsibilities with defined roles (tupoksi). This leadership model fosters adaptability, enhances decision-making quality, and drives organizational innovation. As a newly formed region, Southwest Papua faces unique bureaucratic challenges, including resource limitations, legal restructuring, and human capital development. The role of leadership in this transitional context becomes crucial not only in managing resources but also in cultivating an institutional culture that supports reform, accountability, and sustainable public service delivery. The study highlights the transformative impact of responsive and situational leadership in building administrative capacity and facilitating regional autonomy.
