Abstract

Language skills, particularly in the context of professional communication and caregiving terminology, are an important factor determining service effectiveness, response accuracy, and the quality of interactions between caregivers and service recipients. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method of Indonesian caregivers working in Japan through the Specified Skilled Worker Program (SSW). The Japanese language proficiency variable measured includes four basic skills (listening, speaking, reading, writing), vocabulary mastery (goi) and grammar, and script comprehension (kanji, hiragana, katakana), which are often measured through standard levels such as the Japanese-Language Proficiency Test (JLPT) from the lowest level N5 to N1 or the Japan Foundation Test for Basic Japanese (JFT). Meanwhile, service competency is assessed based on the dimensions of task knowledge, technical care skills, interpersonal communication, and service quality. The results of the study indicate that Japanese language skills have a significant influence on improving the service competency of Indonesian caregivers, especially in the aspects of communication, accuracy in carrying out work procedures, and understanding the needs of service recipients. This study recommends strengthening Japanese language training programs that focus on the caregiving context as an effort to improve the competence of the Indonesian workforce in this sector.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the role of human resource (HR) digital competency in improving the organizational performance of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Medan City in the era of Industry 4.0. A quantitative approach with a survey design was employed, involving 85 MSME owners selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4. The results confirm that HR digital competency positively and significantly affects MSME organizational performance (β = 0.621; t = 7.843; p < 0.001; R² = 0.514). All five digital competency dimensions, digital literacy, digital security, digital communication, digital problem-solving, and digital content creation, demonstrated significant partial effects, with digital literacy as the most dominant dimension (β = 0.538). These findings underscore the strategic urgency of HR digital competency development for improving MSME performance in Medan City and provide an evidence base for policymakers in designing differentiated, evidence-based digital training programs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of competence and work-life balance on the performance of millennial generation employees, both partially and simultaneously. A quantitative approach with a survey design was used, involving 85 millennial employee respondents (born 1981–1996) selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a 1–5 Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed by multiple linear regression using IBM SPSS Statistics 26. The results of the study proved that competence had a positive and significant effect on the performance of millennial employees partially (b₁ = 0.463; t = 6.257; sig. = 0.000), as well as work-life balance (b₂ = 0.312; t = 4.952; sig. = 0.000). Simultaneously, both variables had a significant effect on performance (F = 48.217; sig. = 0.000) with an explanatory power of 53.9% (R² = 0.539). Competence contributes more to performance than work-life balance, indicating that investing in millennial employee competency development is a top strategic priority. This study is the first to simultaneously integrate both variables with generation-specific millennial subjects, filling a gap in previous research.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of pre-departure training on the competency of Indonesian interns in Japan. A quantitative approach with a causal-associative survey design was used and supplemented with qualitative data through interviews. A sample of 60 pre-departure training students from five private Job Training Institutions (LPK) in Medan City was selected through purposive sampling with proportional allocation. Data were collected through a 1–5 Likert scale questionnaire, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using simple linear regression with IBM SPSS Statistics. The results of the study proved that pre-departure training had a positive and significant effect on the competency of interns (b = 0.765; t = 8.040; sig. = 0.000), with an explanatory power of 52.7% (R² = 0.527). Qualitative findings confirmed that Japanese language proficiency, practical portion, and work attitude development are central factors in competency formation. This research contributes quantitative empirical evidence in the context of international labor mobility, which has been dominated by qualitative studies, while also emphasizing the need for standardization of training quality between LPKs.
