Abstract

This study explores the interaction between leadership, digital culture, and organizational sustainability within the context of digital transformation at Universitas Kristen Indonesia Tomohon (UKIT), a faith-based higher-education institution in Eastern Indonesia. Employing a qualitative case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 15 key informants, strategic document analysis, and observational notes. Thematic analysis revealed that value-driven transformative leadership serves as the central catalyst for digital adoption, with senior leaders actively modeling digital practices and framing technology as an extension of the Christian mission and service. The concept of "digitalization with heart" emerged as a powerful narrative that reduced resistance and fostered moral legitimacy among stakeholders. While digital culture remains in transition, generational differences and structural barriers are gradually being addressed through communities of practice and meaning-making processes that align innovation with the institutional identity. The integration of religious values into digital initiatives enabled a unique form of cultural alignment, distinguishing UKIT from secular transformation models. The impact on organizational sustainability is evident across the academic, operational, financial, and social dimensions, including improved graduation rates, reduced paper dependency, cost savings, and expanded outreach to marginalized communities. The findings suggest a reciprocal relationship among leadership, culture, and sustainability, forming a context-sensitive model of digital transformation grounded in ethical commitment and a shared vision. This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating how resource-constrained institutions can achieve sustainable digital change through holistic, value-based, and participatory approaches. It also offers practical insights for leaders of faith-based and regional universities navigating digital evolution.

Abstract

This study examines the socio-economic, health, and agricultural conditions of communities in mining-affected villages in North Minahasa Regency, Indonesia, using a comprehensive census of 2,288 respondents across five villages—Tumbohon, Talawaan, Tatelu, Warukapas, and Tatelu Rondor with Klabat Village as a control site. Employing the Sustainable Livelihood Approach (SLA) framework, the research analyzes five key livelihood assets: human, social, natural, financial, and physical capital. Findings reveal a significant shift in livelihoods, with artisanal mining emerging as a primary income source, surpassing agriculture in economic contribution. While access to infrastructure and basic services is relatively adequate, critical vulnerabilities persist in human capital, particularly in education quality and youth school dropout rates linked to mining work. Health indicators show low prevalence of infectious diseases and high Covid-19 vaccination coverage; however, maternal and child health practices such as exclusive breastfeeding and routine immunization remain suboptimal. Nutritional challenges are evident, with low consumption of fruits and vegetables despite sufficient meal frequency. Social capital is structurally present but weakly expressed in collective action, as participation in communal activities is minimal. Financial dependence on informal and extractive sectors, coupled with limited access to formal financial institutions, increases economic vulnerability. The comparison with Klabat Village highlights a development paradox: higher income in mining areas does not equate to greater multidimensional well-being. This research underscores the need for holistic development strategies that strengthen institutional capacity, diversify livelihoods, and prioritize human development over short-term economic gains. The findings provide critical insights for policymakers, corporations, and local governments aiming to foster inclusive and sustainable development in extractive regions
