Abstract

Aside from academic activities, university life is enriched by extracurricular or community events that foster organisational skills and competency development. According to previous studies, university students who are motivated to grow personally are those who have aspirations for their future careers. Another factor that encourages active participation in organisational activities is a sense of belonging. Students’ active participation will contribute positively to organisational development. This study uses the lens of weak ties theory, which contrasts with the notion that people with strong relationships are more inclined to provide benefits in certain contexts. This study will use network analytic techniques to determine the extent of relationships between university students through UCINET software. The study aims to identify whether weak interpersonal interactions among students can promote their community engagement. The relationship analysis will relate to the level of their sense of belonging, obtained from questionnaire responses. The data were processed using descriptive statistics and multiple linear regression analysis through SPSS. The results demonstrate that weak relationships and a sense of belonging positively impact member engagement in organisation. This study aims to contribute by offering a hitherto limited analysis of student organisations using the weak ties theory and network analysis method.

Abstract

Abstract Reading activities have shifted to social media platforms. Despite Indonesia having a low reading habit worldwide, it is expanding rapidly among millennial and Gen Z bookstagrammers. This study explores the meaning of ‘reading buddy’, motivations for engaging in virtual ‘reading buddy’ activities, emotional intimacy, habits and continuity of virtual communication with reading buddy partners. Using a cyberphenomenology approach, this study involved in-depth, semi-structured interviews with ten (10) Indonesian millennials and Z generation bookstagrammers by applying Barry Wellman's Networked Individualism Theory. This study's cyberphenomenology data analysis technique refers to the coding colour analysis procedure (CCAP). The study results show that a reading buddy is interpreted as a friend who reads books together, a sharing friend, and community outreach activities. It is known that the shift in social interaction from groups to individuals has opened up opportunities for virtual community bookstagrammers on Instagram to create interests that are appropriate for personal networks. In the reading buddy activities carried out, this is believed to enrich the reading experience while improving communication and literacy skills. Instagram is essential in positively impacting interpersonal relationships, personal development, and individual knowledge, especially among the younger generation who like to read books.

Abstract

The quality of the mother-child relationship is shaped by perceptions of closeness and satisfaction in family life. In recent times, many working mothers have faced challenges in maintaining effective family communication patterns, often leading to gender ideology disagreements about maternal roles and hindering relational quality. This study examines (1) the influence of family communication patterns on the relational quality of working mothers and children, (2) the impact of family communication patterns on gender ideology, and (3) the mediating role of gender ideology in shaping mother and child relational quality. Using a quantitative approach, survey data were collected from 157 working mothers through purposive sampling. Key measures included the Family Communication Patterns Instrument (FCPI) and the Gender Ideology Scale (GIS), analysed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). Results indicate that only conversational family communication patterns, mediated by gender ideology, significantly influence mother-child relational quality. These findings highlight the critical role of gender ideology in fostering positive mother-child relationships and suggest the need for family communication strategies that address gender role expectations to support working mothers.

Abstract

There appears to be a generational gap between generations during the 4th vice-presidential candidate debate, which has the potential to be in the public spotlight during the 2024 election due to the instances of unethical communication of the candidate pairs. Three important points to be answered: First, explaining the dynamics of the debate in various perspectives between generations both visually and verbally (body language and diction used during rhetoric); Second, explaining the substance of the debate on communication ethics and verbal politeness in the context of the vice-presidential debate; Third, exploring the visual elements of both the visible and underlying aspects of the vice-presidential debate. A qualitative explanatory approach was employed in this research with data collection of YouTube video documentation categorised based on the concept of verbal politeness and the visual world according to the content analysis of the debate event video. The findings of the data display are associated with verbal politeness, ethics, and visual communication in the visual world (performance consisting of visible and invisible visual structures), which are based on the social culture and political reality of the vice-presidential candidates who have an important role in filling the gap between generations as a representation of the prospective leader of the nation. In conclusion, the communication process of debating requires ethics, self-control, represented in the polite attitudes and words of the three prospective leaders with the principles of mutual understanding, knowledge, self-control, humility, and wisdom. However, different generations do not need to underestimate or bring each other down. It is mandatory to have the principle of upholding equal human dignity so that the purpose of communication as information, persuasion, and education achieves the content of the message as a quality debate.

Abstract

Media ownership by specific groups or individuals can influence the news narrative. Media may not always be neutral due to ownership factors causing bias, especially when conflicting political interests are involved. This study aims to determine the influence of ownership on news content, particularly Media Indonesia's coverage leading up to the end of President Joko Widodo's term. The study used quantitative content analysis to assess the tone of news coverage regarding the Five Presidential Work Priorities (2019-2024), as published in Media Indonesia's e-paper from 1 March 2023, to 29 February 2024. The results indicate a tendency for Media Indonesia to report negatively on Joko Widodo as his term ends. The critical coverage of President Joko Widodo's performance in Media Indonesia, a newspaper owned by Surya Paloh, is directly linked to the escalating political tensions leading up to the 2024 Election. These tensions involve both President Joko Widodo and Surya Paloh, highlighting the complex interplay of political interests and power dynamics as the election approaches.

Abstract

This study examines the function of da'wah communication in disseminating knowledge, education, and counsel to mitigate divorce rates in Central Aceh Regency. This study incorporated A descriptive qualitative methodology, specifically observation, interviews, and document analysis of pertinent literature, legislation, regulations, and scholarly publications . This methodology provided comprehensive insights into the intricate dynamics of da'wah communication and its influence on marital stability. The study investigated three principal questions: What impact does da'wah communication as an information provider have on divorce rates? How does its educational role affect marital stability? How does its advisory role aid in decreasing divorce rates in the Central Aceh District? The results demonstrate that da'wah communication significantly lowers the divorce rate in Central Aceh District by functioning as a source of knowledge, education, and guidance; effectively resolving family disagreements is essential for fostering patience and encouraging spouses to uphold marital integrity under divine guidance. In contrast, families who do not engage in da'wah communication are more susceptible to issues, misunderstanding, and divorce. These findings underscore the need to incorporate da'wah communication into community initiatives to mitigate divorce rates and promote healthier family relations. Future studies may investigate the enduring impacts of da'wah communication on marital stability and its possible implementation in many cultural settings.

Abstract

This study examines how post-structuralist visual identities and counter-hegemonic practices are expressed through digital street art on the Instagram account specifically onn @visual.jalanan account. Using a qualitative content analysis, this research focuses on posts made between January to May 2024, coding visual and textual elements to identify themes of hybridity, fragmentation, and resistance. This study selected 127 posts based on relevance to socio-political discourse and public engagement metrics such as likes and comments. The findings reveal that Instagram serves as a platform for cultural expression and social critique, enabling artists to bypass traditional gatekeepers. The artworks analysed in this study challenge dominant narratives related to nepotism, political propaganda, corruption, and cultural homogeneity. These artworks foster fluid identities and critical dialogue through visual satire and audience interaction, exemplifying post-structuralist principles. This research highlights Instagram’s role as a counter-hegemonic medium that contests mainstream narratives by amplifying marginalised voices. The study contributes to the scholarship on digital media art and visual identity by demonstrating how digital platforms enable innovative artistic expression and resistance to socio-political structures. Future research should explore the evolving role of digital platforms in sustaining counter-hegemonic movements and engaging with political advocacy in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of Islamic personal branding tactics by politicians competing in the 2024 Central Aceh local elections. This research, rooted in the theoretical framework of personal branding and political communication, examines how politicians in this primarily Muslim region leverage diverse media channels to shape their public image and engage the local population. The study employs a qualitative technique, including text analysis, observations, and document inspection, to evaluate the personal branding tactics of a sample of ten politicians across various media platforms that include the internet, social media, and print media. The data collection period spans six months before the 2024 Central Aceh local election. The findings show that politicians make substantial use of Islamic rhetoric, symbolism, and the involvement of religious authority to boost their personal brands. They use a consistent media strategy, carefully incorporating these Islamic personal branding elements across several interconnected mediums. Nonetheless, the study emphasises the difficulties of guaranteeing consistency between the leaders' crafted image and their actual behaviour and policies. This study enhances the limited academic understanding of the influence of religion on personal branding and political communication, specifically regarding local elections in predominantly Muslim areas. The insights acquired can guide the formulation of more effective and ethical personal branding strategies for politicians aiming to engage with their people.
