Abstract

Higher education institutions are under increasing pressure to maintain lecturer quality while responding to expanding academic workload, digital transformation, and institutional performance demands. This systematic literature review aims to synthesize evidence on how academic workload and digital transformation shape lecturer quality within the framework of higher education human resource development. The review focuses on lecturers, faculty members, academic staff, and university educators in the context of teaching, research, assessment, digital adaptation, well-being, job satisfaction, and institutional support.This study employed a systematic literature review design using Scopus as the main database. The search strategy applied Boolean combinations related to lecturer quality, academic workload, digital transformation, and higher education. The screening process followed PRISMA logic, beginning with 475 identified records and resulting in 35 studies included in the final thematic synthesis. Data were extracted and coded according to workload dimensions, digital transformation aspects, well-being indicators, institutional support, and lecturer quality outcomes. The review generated three major findings. First, academic workload intensification is a key determinant of lecturer quality because lecturer work now includes teaching, research, publication, assessment, administration, mentoring, and institutional service. Excessive or poorly distributed workload may weaken teaching effectiveness, publication productivity, professional identity, and sustainable academic engagement. Second, digital transformation has a dual role. It can reduce workload through automation, digital assessment, online platforms, and workload planning tools, but it can also intensify work through digital preparation, technostress, artificial intelligence-related academic integrity challenges, and continuous adaptation. Third, lecturer well-being, job satisfaction, and institutional support function as important mechanisms linking workload and digital change to sustainable lecturer performance. This review concludes that lecturer quality should be understood as a sustainable human resource development outcome rather than merely an individual competence indicator. Higher education institutions need fair workload governance, digital competence development, mentoring, technical support, research support, and well-being-oriented academic management to sustain lecturer quality in the digital era.

Abstract

Teacher competence is a key factor in improving education quality and student outcomes in the 21st century. This systematic literature review analyzes 41 peer-reviewed studies published between 2020 and 2025, examining the roles of leadership, professional development, and digital innovation. Using PRISMA methodology and a critical assessment framework, the review identifies that instructional and transformational leadership enhance teacher competence by promoting collaboration, innovation, and accountability. Effective professional development models include mentorship, coaching, and learning communities, particularly when adapted to local contexts. Digital innovations—such as AI, gamification, and mobile learning—offer new pathways for teacher growth but face challenges related to infrastructure, training, and socio-economic disparities. The review highlights significant inequalities between developed and developing regions, especially in rural areas. Findings underscore the need for equity-focused policies, localized implementation of global frameworks, and sustainable investment in teacher development. Enhancing teacher competence remains a global and local priority to prepare students for the demands of an increasingly complex world.

Abstract

Accreditation and quality assurance (QA) are crucial for the development and global competitiveness of MBA programs. This study systematically reviews trends, frameworks, and stakeholder perspectives on accreditation in MBA education. It aims to identify common QA practices, explore stakeholder roles, and examine how accreditation affects institutional performance and strategic priorities. The study analyzed 48 empirical and conceptual studies from Scopus-indexed sources using thematic analysis, focusing on five key areas: definitions and theories of quality, comparative accreditation models, stakeholder involvement in QA, challenges in autonomous institutions, and the impact of accreditation on performance indicators. Findings show that accreditation fosters both standardization and innovation, particularly in autonomous and non-Western institutions. Stakeholder perceptions significantly influence QA success, with collaboration and transparency enhancing legitimacy. Empirical evidence highlights a strong correlation between accreditation and improvements in graduate employability, student satisfaction, institutional governance, and market positioning. This review contributes to the discourse on business education quality, identifying gaps and recommending more inclusive and adaptive accreditation strategies for institutions, accrediting bodies, and policymakers to enhance educational outcomes and global relevance.

Abstract

This study aims to synthesize empirical evidence on the relationships among Industry 4.0–driven digital technologies, soft skills development, psychological well-being, and graduate employability in higher education, with particular attention to mediating and moderating mechanisms. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following PRISMA 2020 guidelines using the Scopus database, applying inclusion criteria related to publication year (2020–2025), document type, language, subject area, and relevance, resulting in 21 empirical studies analyzed through thematic analysis. The findings indicate that digital technologies function as conditional enablers of soft skills, demonstrating stronger effects when embedded in experiential and participatory pedagogies; digital learning environments also show ambivalent effects on psychological well-being, enhancing engagement when well designed but generating stress when pedagogical and organizational support is inadequate. Furthermore, soft skills consistently emerge as dominant predictors of employability beyond technical skills alone, while psychological well-being plays a crucial mediating role in the relationship between digital technologies, soft skills, and career outcomes, with leadership, organizational culture, and learning ecosystems acting as key moderating factors. These findings imply that higher education institutions must adopt integrated educational management strategies that balance digital innovation with soft skills development and psychological well-being to sustainably enhance graduate employability in the Industry 4.0 era

Abstract

This study examines how growth mindset contributes to academic resilience by investigating grit as a mediating mechanism and perceived academic stress as a moderating condition in the grit–resilience relationship. The study integrates Conservation of Resources Theory and Broaden-and-Build Theory to explain how resources operate under demands. A quantitative explanatory design with a cross-sectional survey was conducted among 210 university students. Participants were selected using criterion-based purposive sampling. Data were collected through a questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with 5,000 bootstrap resamples. Growth mindset positively predicted academic resilience (β = 0.368, p < 0.001) and grit (β = 0.609, p < 0.001), while grit positively predicted academic resilience (β = 0.412, p < 0.001). Grit significantly mediated the relationship between growth mindset and academic resilience (β = 0.251, p < 0.001), indicating partial mediation. Perceived academic stress negatively affected resilience (β = −0.120, p = 0.022), whereas its interaction with grit was positive and significant (β = 0.103, p = 0.025). The findings indicate that academic resilience is strengthened through the combination of beliefs and persistence, while grit becomes more important under academic stress. Universities should therefore integrate growth mindset, persistence strategies, and stress-management support.

Abstract

Foreign debt has an important and inseparable role in the history of Indonesia's national development. The government has changed seven times, foreign debt is always present to fill the development budget deficit. Debt is expected to help move the wheels of the economy, create growth, create jobs, and alleviate poverty. This study aims to analyze the effect of debt, budget, inflation and differences in government regimes on the Indonesian economy (GDP and Income per Capita) in Indonesia for the 1976-2021 period. The study uses secondary data obtained from Bank Indonesia, the National Development Planning Agency (Bappenas), the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the World Bank, and other reference sources such as books, journals and scientific papers. The data used are the value of foreign debt, APBN, national income (GDP), population, inflation rate, and government regime in the period 1976 - 2021. The results of multiple regression analysis with dummy variables (using the Eviews 10 application program) show the following results: Foreign debt and APBN have a correlation with the condition of the national economy, especially the value of GDP. Debt and the state budget tend to increase the value of GDP. In terms of debt management as a driver of economic growth, the Suharto Era (New Order) tended to be better than the eras that followed. However, relatively speaking, the Habibe and SBY eras tended to be better than the Megawati era, the Abdurahman Wahid era, and the Jokowi era. In fact, Jokowi's era is no better than previous eras. Keywords: Budget, Inflation, GDP, Indonesian Economy
