Abstract

The relocation of Indonesia’s Capital City/Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN), from Jakarta to East Kalimantan began in 2022, with the government citing economic equity as the primary rationale. Economic development cannot progress without revitalization across all sectors. Agriculture is a sector with significant development potential, despite its current suboptimal operations. Among agricultural activities, oil palm plantations are one of the most prominent and important contributors. Effective human resource management (HRM) of farmers is crucial to driving agricultural economic growth. This study aims to examine the causal relationship between competence and motivation on farmer performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The sample comprises 138 urban farmers who are members of the Farmers' Group Association (GAPOKTAN) engaged in palm oil production. Data were collected in Sukaraja Village, Penajam Paser Utara (PPU) Regency. The approach was conducted using path analysis. Empirical results indicate that both competence and motivation significantly affect job satisfaction and performance. Additionally, job satisfaction is significantly related to performance. Thus, competence and motivation influence performance indirectly through job satisfaction. This study offers practical benefits for decision-makers, particularly GAPOKTAN, by emphasizing the importance of enhancing farmer competence. The findings also encourage further investigation into additional aspects that may affect farmer performance.

Abstract

Pengelolaan sampah hingga saat ini terus menjadi sebuah persoalan di tingkat rumah tangga maupun komunitas. Kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat dalam memilah sampah menyebabkan volume timbulan sampah yang terus meningkat. Kegiatan pengabdian masyarakat ini memiliki tujuan dalam meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat dalam pengelolaan sampah berbasis 3R (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) dan membentuk Bank Sampah sebagai solusi berkelanjutan. Metode kegiatan meliputi sosialisasi, penyuluhan, pelatihan, diskusi, serta pendampingan kader lingkungan desa melalui pendekatan partisipatif. Hasil kegiatan menunjukkan peningkatan partisipatif masyarakat sebesar 70% dalam praktik melalui memilah dan pengurangan sampah rumah tangga. Selain itu, 85 peserta mulai menerarkan kebiasaan ramah lingkungan seperti  membawa kotak bekal, menggunakan tas belanja ramah lingkungan, dan memanfaatkan kembali barang bekas. Program ini menghasilkan kesepakatan untuk membentuk bank sampah desa sebagai pusat pengelolaan dan pemberdayaan ekonomi berbasis daur ulang. Kegiatan ini terbukti efektif meningkatkan kesadaran, perilaku, dan kapasitas masyarakat menuju pengelolaan sampah berkelanjutan berbasis komunitas sekaligus mencapai tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan.

Abstract

This research examines the relationship between poverty levels, population growth, and regional potential across six Sulawesi provinces from 2015 to 2025. Poverty remains a significant challenge, with variations influenced by dependence on primary sectors like agriculture and mining, coupled with high population growth rates. Using panel data analysis with the Fixed Effect Model (FEM), the study finds that population growth significantly increases poverty levels, with a coefficient of 0.324 (p<0.05). This suggests that unchecked population growth exacerbates poverty if not accompanied by effective control and job creation. Conversely, regional potential, measured through leading sectors (LQ>1), significantly reduces poverty, with a coefficient of -0.456 (p<0.01). Provinces with strong leading sectors experience faster poverty reduction, highlighting the importance of optimizing these sectors. To address poverty, integrated family planning programs and the development of leading sectors should be prioritized. These strategies align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly Goal 1: No Poverty. The findings offer valuable insights for policymakers and regional development strategies to achieve sustainable poverty reduction in Sulawesi

Abstract

This study highlights both direct and indirect linkages mediated by economic growth, as it investigates the effects of fiscal decentralization on poverty levels in South Sulawesi Province between 2004 and 2024. The General Allocation Fund (DAU), Special Allocation Fund (DAK), Revenue Sharing Fund (DBH), and Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD) are the four main fiscal mechanisms that are the focus of this study. Using route analysis with time-series data in SPSS, this study reveals several important findings. Poverty levels are significantly negatively impacted by economic growth. As a mediating variable, DAU shows a strong positive relationship with poverty, but DAK and PAD show notable negative relationships. DBH, on the other hand, does not demonstrate a noteworthy indirect impact on poverty via the conduit of economic expansion. The findings suggest that the efficacy of fiscal decentralization in alleviating poverty varies among different fiscal instruments, with DAK and PAD yielding the most beneficial results when implemented in programs that foster economic growth. These insights provide critical guidance for policymakers aiming to enhance the effectiveness of fiscal decentralization strategies in combating poverty in South Sulawesi Province.

Abstract

This study investigates how inflation and monetary policy, as reflected in the policy interest rate (BI Rate), affect Indonesia's economic growth, as indicated by the GDP. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to discover connections between independent and dependent variables in an economic setting. The analysis's findings indicate that neither the BI Rate nor inflation significantly affects GDP growth. Although not sufficiently strong to be regarded as statistically significant, the positive coefficients derived from both variables show a propensity for increases in inflation and policy interest rates to enhance economic growth. The significance of the interaction between the two variables in monetary policy is confirmed by simultaneous analysis, which reveals that both inflation and the BI Rate significantly contribute to GDP variance when examined together. These results suggest that monetary policy must work in tandem with fiscal policy and the real sector, as well as be adaptively managed to respond to changes in the global economy to effectively stimulate economic growth in Indonesia [2]. This study is anticipated to significantly aid policymakers in developing more potent plans to accomplish sustainable growth and national economic stability.

Abstract

There have been few studies examining the link between open economic and demographic policies and the integration of socio-economic indicators into employment, particularly in developing markets. To address this gap in the literature, this scientific paper investigates the relationship between foreign investment capital and population growth on labor force participation, considering the mediating roles of minimum wages, economic growth, and human development. The study focuses on the Capital City of Nusantara (IKN) as a representation of a new economic growth center in Indonesia. Time-series secondary data from official government sources covering the period 2011–2024 were calculated using moderated regression analysis (MRA). The empirical results reveal that foreign investment capital has a significant negative effect on minimum wages, while population growth significantly and positively influences regional economic growth. Statistically, foreign investment capital significantly reduces human development. Moreover, foreign investment capital, when moderated by minimum wages and regional economic growth, as well as population growth moderated by human development, exerts a significant positive impact on labor force participation. These findings suggest that additional macroeconomic components beyond the current model warrant the attention of policymakers and further research.
