Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of modern work systems on the social, economic, and emotional lives of workers at the Rista Ban Workshop in Gorontalo City. Using a descriptive qualitative approach and case studies, data were collected through in-depth interviews with the workshop owner and three employees with varying lengths of service. The results show that a rational, standardized, and efficiency-oriented work structure provides economic benefits for workers through basic salaries, meal facilities, and additional income from overtime. However, this system also gives rise to complex social dynamics, such as imbalances in work contributions, potential conflicts between workers, and increased psychological burdens on senior workers. These conditions align with Max Weber's concept of the "iron cage," in which workers are bound by a rational work system that limits flexibility and personal freedom. These findings confirm that modern work systems in small, informal sector businesses have a dualistic impact: strengthening workers' economic stability while simultaneously creating social and emotional stress that requires attention in workforce management.

Abstract

This study explores consumer culture among Sociology students at Gorontalo State University, focusing on the forms, driving factors, meanings, symbolic interactions, and social impacts of consumer behavior. The research approach used was qualitative, with data collected through in-depth interviews with eight students from various semesters and classes from October 27 to November 30, 2025. The findings indicate that consumer behavior primarily occurs in the purchase of non-essential goods, such as clothing, gadgets, and lifestyle products, influenced by peer pressure, social media trends, and family background. Internal factors such as personal financial awareness and family values, as well as external factors such as social media exposure and peer influence, collectively shape student consumption patterns. Consumption serves not only to fulfill needs but also as a symbol of self-expression, identity construction, and social integration. Symbolic interactions influence students' perceptions of needs and wants, guiding consumption decision-making in a social context. The socio-impacts of consumer culture include status competition, financial pressure, and social inequality, while fostering creativity and social bonds.
