Abstract

In an increasingly competitive business world, building customer loyalty does not solely depend on product quality but also on interactions that foster trust and emotional connection. This study explores the role of Human Resources (HR) as Brand Ambassadors in enhancing customer loyalty through a qualitative approach. The research method employed is a case study, utilizing in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and document analysis as data collection techniques.The findings indicate that internal brand ambassadors are more effective than celebrities or influencers as they have a deeper understanding of the product and company values. Direct interaction between internal brand ambassadors and customers creates a more authentic experience, strengthens trust, and enhances brand loyalty. Additionally, value alignment between employees and the company plays a crucial role in the success of this strategy. This study suggests that companies aiming to improve customer loyalty can optimize the role of HR as brand ambassadors. By fostering more personal and authentic interactions, internal brand ambassadors contribute to the development of long-term relationships between customers and brands

Abstract

This study examines the influence of organizational learning on employee competencies at PT. Semen Indonesia Unit Tonasa. In the context of intense market competition and rapid technological change, fostering continuous learning has become critical for organizations to enhance workforce adaptability and innovation. Organizational learning dimensions—such as personal mastery, shared vision, team learning, mental models, and systems thinking—were analyzed for their contribution to employee competencies, including knowledge, skills, and attitudes. A quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) revealed a significant positive relationship between organizational learning and competencies, with a path coefficient of 0.465 and a t-statistic of 6.434. The findings underscore the role of organizational learning in improving employee collaboration, problem-solving, and strategic thinking. However, challenges like resistance to change, unequal participation, and resource limitations were identified as barriers. Addressing these issues through leadership commitment, inclusive participation, and resource optimization can amplify the impact of learning initiatives.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of knowledge management on employee competencies at PT. Semen Indonesia Unit Tonasa. Knowledge management, encompassing knowledge creation, storage, sharing, and application, plays a crucial role in enhancing employee knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Employing a quantitative approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between knowledge management and employee competencies, with a path coefficient of 0.512 and a t-statistic of 7.245. Among the dimensions, knowledge sharing emerged as the strongest contributor to competency development, fostering collaboration and collective learning. Employees reported significant improvements in technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and adaptability. However, challenges such as resistance to change, uneven participation, and resource constraints were identified as barriers to the full implementation of knowledge management initiatives. This study underscores the importance of structured knowledge management practices in developing a skilled and adaptable workforce. Practical recommendations include fostering a knowledge-sharing culture, addressing resistance to change, promoting inclusive participation, and investing in knowledge management systems. These insights are expected to contribute to the academic literature and provide actionable strategies for organizational development

Abstract

This study explores work-life balance among female government employees across generations, with a focus on gender-related challenges. Women are hypothesised to face imbalances due to dual roles at work and home. Using a phenomenological approach and descriptive quantitative analysis, the study finds that Indonesian women across generations generally experience moderate work-life balance. Notably, Baby Boomers (60–78 years) and Generation Z (12–27 years) report higher balance, while Generation X (44–59 years) and Millennials (28–43 years) face lower balance due to simultaneous career and family responsibilities. The study offers generationally tailored suggestions, although results may not generalise to women in sectors like banking or private industry. Implications include the need for organisations to act as facilitators, supporting female employees to ensure psychological well-being and sustained performance.
