Abstract

Background: Community empowerment plays an important role in driving sustainable development, especially in rural areas. The Bejiharjo Farmer Women Group (KWT) is an example of community-based empowerment initiatives that have succeeded in developing social entrepreneurship. Through women's active participation, capacity building, and utilization of local resources, this KWT has been able to generate significant economic and social impacts for its communities. Research Urgency: It is important to understand the empowerment pattern that KWT Bejiharjo applies in building sustainable social enterprises, in order to replicate similar models in other villages. Identification of key success factors can make a major contribution to the development of local potential-based women's and community empowerment programs. Research Objectives: This study aims to explore the patterns of community empowerment implemented by the Bejiharjo Women Farmers Group (KWT) and identify the key elements that drive the success and sustainability of community-based social entrepreneurship. Research Method: A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving in-depth interviews, participatory observation, documentation, and focus group discussions. Thematic and narrative analyses were conducted to identify key empowerment patterns, with data triangulation ensuring validity and reliability. Research Findings: The results of the study show that the empowerment carried out by KWT Bejiharjo has succeeded in increasing members' ownership and sense of responsibility for group activities, along with the growth of collective commitment and social bonds. In addition, intensive training from various partners also improves members' skills and knowledge in the fields of production, marketing, and business management. This effort is supported by the utilization and diversification of local resources, which not only strengthens the household economy, but also creates added value through processed products and expands the potential of educational agrotourism in the local area. Research Conclusion: The empowerment model applied by KWT Bejiharjo has succeeded in creating a sustainable social entrepreneurship ecosystem. Shared ownership, capacity building, and utilization of local potential are the main foundations in building economic and social independence at the community level Research Novelty/ Contibution: This research contributes to the development of a community-based empowerment model that is oriented towards social entrepreneurship. The findings in this study can serve as a reference for the development of sustainable empowerment strategies in other rural communities with a participatory and local potential-based approach.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the integration of the influence of green knowledge and green competency in improving innovative work behavior (IWB) with the role of leader support mediation in the garment industry in Semarang Regency. The research approach used is quantitative with an explanatory research design. Data was collected through the distribution of questionnaires to 200 garment industry employees selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the help of SmartPLS. The results of the study show that green knowledge, green competence, and leader support have a positive and significant effect on innovative work behavior. In addition, green knowledge and green competency have also been proven to have a significant effect on leader support. The leader support variable has the most dominant influence on innovative work behavior. The results of the mediation test showed that leader support was able to mediate the relationship between green knowledge and green competency to innovative work behavior partially. The value of the determination coefficient (R²) indicates that the model has strong explanatory ability, while the SRMR value indicates that the research model has a good fit. This research provides the implication that the improvement of innovative employee behavior in the garment industry is not only dependent on environmental knowledge and competence, but is also strongly influenced by the support of leaders. Therefore, organizations need to develop integrated strategies in increasing green knowledge, green competence, and strengthening leadership roles to encourage sustainable innovation.

Abstract

Event-organizing companies operate on short, high-pressure projects that leave little room for formal training. How their employees build capability under these conditions remains largely unexamined in workplace learning and human resource development research. This study examines workplace learning as a human resource development strategy within an event organizer company. It focuses on how experiential engagement with project work, autonomy within defined limits, and cross-divisional collaboration combine to build employee capability. Data were gathered through a qualitative case study design using in-depth interviews with five managerial and operational informants, direct observation of live event execution, and internal documentation. These sources were triangulated into four consistent findings. Results show that competence accumulates primarily through live project experience and bounded decision-making autonomy, which is reinforced by cross-divisional collaboration during execution. Efforts to convert this learning into structured organizational practice remain early and uneven. These findings are synthesized into an original model, the live-project learning loop, which traces how operational pressure generates individual and collective learning that often remains trapped at the tacit level. The study extends transformative learning theory to a non-formal, project-based creative industry setting that has rarely been examined before. It shows that disorienting operational pressure can itself trigger transformative learning and that such learning becomes organizationally transformative only once a deliberate mechanism exists to capture it.

Abstract

River ecosystem degradation caused by pollution and increasing anthropogenic pressure requires culturally grounded and community-based conservation approaches. This study aims to analyse the cultural foundations and ecological functions of the Bersik Kali tradition in supporting community-based river conservation in the karst area of Goa Pindul, Bejiharjo Village, examine its role in enhancing community participation in river ecosystem protection, and assess its alignment with environmental law and SDG 15. Using a qualitative case-study design, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. Data were analysed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana's interactive model data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing, while data validity was ensured through triangulation of techniques, sources, and time. The findings reveal that Bersik Kali serves as an effective culturally rooted mechanism for strengthening ecological awareness, participation, and shared responsibility for river conservation. Beyond improving river cleanliness, the tradition contributes to karst ecosystem functions by enhancing water infiltration, stabilising flow into underground channels, and supporting riparian vegetation recovery. Additional findings show that customary norms, social sanctions, and informal leadership play crucial roles in complementing formal environmental regulations and addressing implementation gaps in local river conservation governance in line with SDG 15. Collaboration with local government and environmental organisations further reinforces program sustainability despite persistent challenges such as waste-disposal habits, limited infrastructure, and uneven legal awareness. The study offers an original contribution by proposing a culturally grounded participatory conservation model that integrates Local Ecological Knowledge, ritual practices, ecological actions, and legal frameworks into a unified system of river and karst management. However, the study is limited to a single tradition and geographic setting, suggesting the need for comparative research across different cultural conservation practices.
