Abstract

The study purpose was to examine how Batam City—located at Indonesia’s international border and functioning as a free-trade industrial zone—navigates its ongoing industrial transition and how this transformation influences workforce adaptation and inter-institutional collaboration. The study also wanted to find out how government agencies, businesses, and training centers see the problems that come up when investment patterns change, automation happens, and labor needs change. By concentrating on this aspect, the study offers a comprehensive insight into the governance dynamics influencing industrial resilience in Batam. Materials and methods. This study utilized a qualitative case study methodology. Data were collected via semi-structured in-depth interviews with officials from local government agencies, representatives from the manufacturing and service sectors, instructors from vocational training schools, and workers undergoing industrial transformation. Results. The results show three main themes: (1) workforce adaptation is still uneven because of skill mismatches and a lack of opportunities to learn new skills; (2) institutional collaboration is difficult because of broken coordination, overlapping mandates, and policies that don't always match; and (3) even though these problems exist, new informal networks and partnerships across sectors show promise for improving Batam's ability to adapt during industrial transition. Conclusions. The study finds that Batam's industrial transformation needs not only better ways to improve workers' skills but also stronger and more formal ways for people to work together to make decisions. To make the economy in a border region more resilient, encourage industrial upgrading, and ensure long-term growth, it is important to strengthen cooperation between public institutions, industries, and training centers.

Abstract

This study examines the extent to which candidates’ political background influence their electability in local legislative elections, specifically within the context of the 2024 elections in Banggai Regency, Indonesia. The study further investigates how public trust moderates this relationship, offering insight into interplay between candidate characteristic and voter perceptions. This study employs a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to examine the realtionship among political background, public trust, and candidate electability. The analysis of data from 100 respondents using PLS-SEM reveals that political background has a significant posirive effect on candidate electability , while public trust also exterts a direct and significant influnce . furthermore, public trust significantly moderates the relationship between political background and electability , suggesting that candidates with strong political credential receive greater electoral support when they are perceived as trustworthy. The model explain 56% of the variance in electability. , with all contructs meeting the trhesholds for realibility and validity. the findings of this study offer several prcatical implications for political actors, campaign strategist, and political parties operating within local electoral contexts. This study offers a significant contribution to the literature on electoral behaviour and political marketing by elucidating the interactive influence of structural attributes (political background) and perceptual dimensions (public trust) on candidate electability.
