Abstract

The rapid digital transformation requires human resources (HR) to adapt to various new technologies in the work environment. This research aims to analyze the level of readiness of human resources in facing the implementation of digital technology, identify the digital competencies needed, and formulate relevant training strategies based on actual needs. The research method employed was a descriptive, quantitative approach using a survey of 120 respondents from the service and public administration sectors. The results show that HR readiness levels vary, with younger generations and operational job positions exhibiting higher readiness than senior generations and top-level management. The most essential digital competencies include basic digital literacy, data analysis skills, software utilization for work, cybersecurity, and digital communication. The primary implication of these findings is the need for initial competency mapping and the implementation of need-based training to address the challenges of digital transformation effectively. The study also identified implementation barriers, including budget constraints, resistance to change, and lack of top management support. These findings make a crucial contribution to the development of adaptive and sustainable HR strategies in the digital era.

Abstract

This study investigates how language learning contributes to leadership transformation among students in higher education. In an increasingly global and multilingual environment, leadership is no longer defined solely by technical competence or formal authority, but also by the ability to communicate effectively, influence others, and manage social interactions. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores how participation in language learning activities shapes students’ communication practices, leadership behaviors, and social roles within group settings. The participants were 50 students from three diploma programs who had completed courses in Indonesian and English. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, reflective journals, and documentation of speaking tasks and group discussions. The findings show that language learning enhances leadership communication through increased verbal initiative, more precise message delivery, improved persuasive ability, greater involvement in group decision-making, and higher communication confidence. The study also identifies learning strategies that foster leadership capacity, including group discussions, oral presentations, role-play activities, collaborative projects, and reflective writing. However, several barriers were identified that limit leadership transformation, including fear of making mistakes, limited vocabulary, low self-confidence, cultural inhibition, and unequal participation in groups. Overall, the study concludes that language learning provides a powerful social and communicative space for developing leadership, although its impact depends on both individual and contextual factors.
