Abstract

Used cooking oil is a common household waste that can cause pipe blockages and environmental pollution when improperly discarded into drainage systems. This community service program aimed to enhance literacy and practical skills in the safe reuse of used cooking oil through training on the production of aromatherapy candles. The activity involved members of the Family Welfare Empowerment Group (PKK) in Munding Urban Village, Bergas Subdistrict, Semarang Regency, who play key roles in promoting healthy and environmentally responsible household practices. The training combined environmental education, occupational safety awareness, and hands-on practice. The program was evaluated using the CIPP (Context, Input, Process, Product) framework to assess contextual relevance, resource adequacy, procedural adherence, and product quality. The results indicated 91 percent participation, 94 percent adequacy of inputs, 88 percent compliance with safe procedures, and an average product quality of 86 percent. These findings demonstrate that the program was feasible, safe, and easily replicable using household tools. Beyond technical outcomes, the initiative fostered circular economy awareness and strengthened community-based environmental empowerment through the PKK network, providing both social and environmental benefits at the household level.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of the reward system, work-life balance, and self-efficacy on employee performance, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable among employees of PT Prodeco Wood Indonesia. A quantitative research design was employed using primary data collected through questionnaires measured on a five-point Likert scale. The population consisted of 118 employees, and 91 respondents were selected through simple random sampling. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS 3, including validity and reliability assessments, R-square and F-square evaluation, and hypothesis testing through bootstrapping. The findings show that the reward system and work-life balance have positive and significant effects on employee performance, while self-efficacy has a positive but statistically insignificant direct effect. The reward system, work-life balance, and self-efficacy also have positive and significant effects on job satisfaction. Furthermore, job satisfaction positively and significantly influences employee performance. The mediation analysis confirms that job satisfaction mediates the effects of the reward system, work-life balance, and self-efficacy on employee performance. These results indicate that employee performance is shaped not only by organizational policies and individual confidence, but also by the extent to which employees experience satisfaction in their work. Therefore, PT Prodeco Wood Indonesia should strengthen fair reward practices, support a healthier balance between work and personal life, and create conditions that reinforce employee confidence and job satisfaction to achieve sustainable performance improvement.

Abstract

Meningkatnya kompetisi di sektor ban mobil mendorong perusahaan untuk menciptakan kesetiaan konsumen dengan memperkuat citra merek, membangun kepercayaan merek, serta meningkatkan kepuasan pelanggan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh citra merek dan kepercayaan merek memengaruhi loyalitas merek melalui kepuasan pelanggan di kalangan pengguna ban GT Radial di Kota Semarang. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan survei terhadap 95 responden yang diambil melalui teknik purposive sampling. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner dengan skala Likert lima poin, sementara analisis data diterapkan melalui Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. Temuan menunjukkan bahwa citra merek memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kepuasan pelanggan serta loyalitas merek. Selain itu, kepercayaan merek juga menunjukkan pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kepuasan pelanggan serta loyalitas merek. Kepuasan pelanggan berkontribusi secara positif dan signifikan terhadap loyalitas merek. Analisis pengaruh tidak langsung menunjukkan bahwa kepuasan pelanggan belum mampu memediasi hubungan antara citra merek dan loyalitas merek, maupun dalam hubungan kepercayaan merek dan loyalitas merek. Loyalitas pengguna ban GT Radial lebih banyak ditentukan secara langsung oleh citra merek dan kepercayaan merek, bukan melalui kepuasan pelanggan. Oleh karena itu, penguatan citra merek, peningkatan kepercayaan konsumen, serta pemeliharaan kualitas produk menjadi strategi kunci untuk memperkuat loyalitas pelanggan.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan menguji dan membuktikan secara empiris peran ulasan (Reviews) dan penilaian bintang (Rating) terhadap Keputusan Pelanggan, baik secara langsung maupun lewat Minat Pembelian sebagai variabel mediasi, pada produk tas Mossdoom yang dipasarkan melalui marketplace Lazada. Pendekatan kuantitatif asosiatif-kausal mempergunakan teknik purposive sampling kepada 100 responden yang pernah membeli produk Mossdoom di Lazada. Data dianalisis mempergunakan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) yang didukung program SmartPLS 4. Temuan pengujian menandakan, Reviews tidak memengaruhi signifikan terhadap Minat Pembelian, sementara Rating memengaruhi positif dan signifikan terhadap Minat Pembelian. Minat Pembelian selanjutnya dibuktikan memengaruhi positif dan signifikan terhadap Keputusan Pelanggan. Reviews memengaruhi positif dan signifikan secara langsung terhadap Keputusan Pelanggan, sedangkan Rating tidak memengaruhi langsung secara signifikan. Efek mediasi hanya terbukti pada jalur Rating menuju Keputusan Pelanggan (mediasi penuh), sementara pada jalur Reviews tidak terbukti adanya mediasi. Model penelitian mampu menjelaskan 32,8% variasi Minat Pembelian dan 66,0% variasi Keputusan Pelanggan. Temuan ini mengindikasikan bahwa Rating berperan pada tahap awal pembentukan minat beli, sedangkan Reviews lebih berperan pada tahap akhir sebelum keputusan dibuat, sehingga menjadi masukan strategis bagi pelaku bisnis di platform e-commerce Lazada dalam mengelola reputasi digital.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of workload and employee engagement on turnover intention among contract employees and to explain their contribution to employees’ intention to leave the organization. A quantitative explanatory research design was employed using a survey approach. Data were collected through an online questionnaire from 100 respondents selected using simple random sampling. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS, including measurement model evaluation, structural model assessment, and bootstrapping for hypothesis testing. The results indicate that workload has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention, suggesting that excessive job demands increase employees’ intention to leave the organization. Unexpectedly, employee engagement also shows a positive and significant effect on turnover intention, indicating that among contract employees, high engagement may reflect commitment to work responsibilities rather than long-term organizational attachment. Furthermore, workload and employee engagement jointly explain a substantial proportion of the variance in turnover intention. These findings extend the application of the Job Demands–Resources perspective by demonstrating that employee engagement does not necessarily function as a retention mechanism under contractual employment conditions. Practically, organizations should balance workload while strengthening employment security and career development policies to reduce turnover intention.
