Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of internal communication strategies on employee engagement and to identify the most effective communication approaches in enhancing employee involvement. The research employed a literature review method by examining journal articles, conference proceedings, and academic books published between 2019 and 2025. Literature sources were obtained from Google Scholar, Scopus, ResearchGate, and DOAJ, and were selected based on topic relevance, full-text availability, and alignment with the research focus. Data were analyzed using content analysis through thematic categorization. The findings indicate that internal communication strategies have a significant impact on employee engagement across three dimensions: cognitive, emotional, and behavioral. Three strategies were found to be the most effective: (1) digital channel–based communication that improves information access and accelerates feedback, (2) leadership-based communication that strengthens trust and emotional support, and (3) participatory two-way communication that fosters a sense of belonging and psychological ownership. Engagement formation occurs through role clarity, reinforced trust, and increased participation. In conclusion, internal communication serves as an organizational strategy that enhances employee motivation, loyalty, and contribution. Organizations must design communication patterns that are transparent, interactive, and participatory to optimize engagement.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the Presentation and Negotiation Techniques course in improving public speaking skills through the Role Playing Method among students of the D IV MICE Study Programme at the Medan State Polytechnic. Public speaking skills are a necessary competency in the MICE industry in order to support successful communication and the achievement of company objectives. The role playing method was chosen for classroom learning because it represents real-life situations, allowing students to play various roles according to scenarios designed and presented in class. This method also provides opportunities for students to practise persuasive communication skills, the ability to convey information effectively, and build confidence in dealing with various types of clients in the MICE industry.  This study used a qualitative descriptive method through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of 24 students in the MICE 5C class. The results showed that learning through the Role Playing Method contributed to an improvement in public speaking. However, it was not yet optimal because students still had difficulty applying public speaking skills consistently. This study emphasises the importance of an intensive practice-based learning approach, industry simulations, and structured feedback to continuously improve students' public speaking competence and ensure that their skills are in line with the needs of the MICE industry.

Abstract

This study examines the KPU Sergai Podcast as a digital public communication initiative for voter education. While podcasts offer potential to enhance political literacy through flexible and narrative-driven formats, their effectiveness in institutional contexts remains limited. This research employs a qualitative case study approach, integrating podcast analytics, content observation, and in-depth interviews to analyze how communication strategies are designed and implemented. The findings reveal that podcast performance remains suboptimal, as indicated by consistently low audience reach (fewer than 100 views per episode) and minimal engagement, including limited likes and the absence of comments and shares. These patterns suggest that the podcast has not succeeded in expanding its visibility or fostering interactive communication. Beyond descriptive results, the study identifies a structural communication problem. Internal constraints such as limited resources, lack of technical capacity, and restricted production quality shape content characteristics and distribution strategies, resulting in predominantly one-way communication and misalignment with audience preferences, particularly among younger users. The findings demonstrate a causal pathway in which these constraints lead to audience misalignment, low engagement, and passive audience behavior. This condition reflects a broader communication gap between the interactive potential of digital media and its practical implementation in governmental communication. This study contributes by offering an integrated analytical framework linking institutional capacity, content strategy, and audience engagement. Practically, it highlights the need for more interactive content, multi-platform distribution, and improved production quality to enhance digital public communication effectiveness.
