Abstract

This article or paper aims to analyze the organizational communication climate between managerial supervisors, school principals, and teachers in building openness and positive behavior in the Muhammadiyah Commerce Education Council and its obstacles. This study uses a qualitative approach with the theory of communication climate, organizational communication, positive attitudes, openness, and communication barriers. The subjects are Managerial Supervisors, Principals, and Teachers in the Basic Education Council and Muhammadiyah Commerce Branch. Data was obtained through interviews, observations, and documentation from 10 informants, with data analysis through reduction, presentation, and conclusions drawn. This study concludes that the organizational communication climate in the Primary and Secondary Education Council of the Muhammadiyah Commerce Branch Executive is effective, with vertical communication between leaders, supervisors, and principals, as well as horizontal communication between teachers. Formal and informal communication processes support the creation of openness and positive behaviors such as discipline, cooperation, and innovation. Communication barriers occur due to individual psychological discomfort in communicating.

Abstract

Tari Bada Hatam Betawi by Wiwiek Widyastuti is a performing arts piece of high aesthetic value, reflecting the richness of Betawi culture through its unique movements and expressions. This article aims to examine the aesthetics of Tari Bada Hatam Betawi from a philosophical perspective, particularly focusing on the aesthetics of culture and art. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method, involving an in-depth analysis of the movement structure and the dance's meaning. The analysis results indicate that Tari Bada Hatam Betawi is not merely a form of artistic expression but also a means to communicate the philosophical values of Betawi life, such as balance, harmony, and simplicity. Through a semiotic study, it reveals that Tari Bada Hatam is multi-layered. This means the dance not only displays movements and aesthetics but also holds complex and profound symbolic values and meanings. Furthermore, Wiwiek Widyastuti's work reflects the integration of tradition and innovation, making it relevant in the context of contemporary performing arts. This research is expected to contribute to a deeper understanding of Betawi dance aesthetics and the application of a philosophical approach to traditional performing arts.

Abstract

The phenomenon of GPA inflation in Indonesian higher education reflects a complex social issue, where academic grades often fail to represent intellectual capacity and instead emerge as products of power relations between lecturers and students. This paper analyzes how symbolic power within academic spaces cultivates a culture of compliance and strategic adaptation among students in pursuit of cum laude honors. Employing a theoretical-critical approach and Michel Foucault’s discourse analysis, the study reveals that academic assessment systems frequently function as instruments of power reproduction, reinforcing academic feudalism and suppressing critical expression. High GPAs, in this context, are often symbolic compromises rather than genuine intellectual achievements. The findings suggest that social structures in universities shape students into submissive, administratively efficient individuals with limited intellectual courage—ultimately undermining the emancipatory function of higher education. This paper calls for academic decolonization to establish egalitarian dialogue, transparent grading systems, and a redefinition of respect (adab) as a foundation for critical and ethical discourse in education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the performance of employees at Asam Kumbang Village in implementing the Non-Cash Food Assistance (BPNT) program based on five performance indicators proposed by Sedarmayanti (2017): work quality, punctuality, initiative, ability, and communication. The findings indicate that overall, the performance of civil servants in the village has been satisfactory. Employees can provide public services professionally, responsibly, and on time, although there are still technical obstacles such as delayed fund disbursement and incomplete beneficiary data updates. The employees demonstrate a high level of initiative in assisting unregistered residents eligible for aid, while their administrative and problem-solving abilities are considered adequate. Communication with the community is relatively effective, although improvement is needed in information dissemination. Supporting factors include leadership support, teamwork, and positive community response, while inhibiting factors include limited human resources, inaccurate data, and technical constraints in distribution. Overall, the performance of Asam Kumbang Village employees reflects good professionalism but still requires improvement in data accuracy and communication effectiveness.

Abstract

This study analyzes the digital transformation of marketplaces as a strategy to strengthen micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. The background of this study is based on the digital technology adoption gap between urban and rural areas, which impacts the competitiveness of MSMEs. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 15 informants comprising business operators, marketplace platform managers, MSME facilitators, and local government representatives. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis, then analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldana model to identify key themes. The findings reveal five key themes: (1) the motivation to adopt marketplaces is driven by the need to expand market reach and adapt to changing consumer behavior; (2) key enablers include training and technical assistance, while barriers include low digital literacy, infrastructure limitations, and logistical challenges; (3) digitalization has a positive impact on sales growth and changes in consumer behavior, particularly among younger generations; (4) local-based mentoring strategies and entrepreneurial communities such as Tangan Di Atas (TDA) are effective in accelerating digital adaptation; and (5) government policies support training and business legality, but collaboration with local platforms is still limited. This study highlights the importance of multi-actor collaboration and contextualized policy interventions to build inclusive, resilient, and sustainable digital marketplace ecosystems in rural areas, providing actionable insights for regional governments and stakeholders in strengthening rural digital economies.

Abstract

The transformation of the labor landscape driven by automation and artificial intelligence (AI) demands new, relevant, and adaptive skills from the workforce. This study aims to identify contextual and inclusive reskilling and upskilling strategies in rural areas, focusing on Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. Using a qualitative case study approach with in-depth interviews involving training providers, participants, community leaders, and local government agencies, the study finds that strengthening basic digital literacy is a critical foundation for preparing communities to navigate technological transitions. Blended learning models, the use of locally relevant media, and the involvement of community mentors have proven effective in increasing participation and comprehension. However, challenges such as limited digital infrastructure, a shortage of qualified trainers, and low training literacy persist. Multi-stakeholder collaboration among vocational training institutions, village governments, and local businesses emerges as a key strategy to expand training reach and ensure program sustainability. Locally relevant training, such as digital marketing for SMEs and online modules aligned with the national Prakerja program, shows strong potential to create new employment opportunities and enhance community competitiveness. This study recommends strengthening training infrastructure, providing continuous mentoring, and designing community-based policies as essential strategies for successful workforce transformation in the digital era. The findings contribute to Indonesia’s national human resource development agenda by offering evidence-based insights on how localized, collaborative approaches can accelerate workforce adaptation to global technological disruption.

Abstract

The Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) is a regional organisation that has worked since its inception to maintain member states' unification and improved relationships with other regional and Western nations to ensure political and socio-economic development. Despite all efforts, ECOWAS faces numerous challenges, such as an undemocratic government, insecurity, a lack of member cooperation, and, most recently, the exit of its trio-member nations. The study explores the political and socio-economic consequences of ECOWAS member nations like Mali, Burkina Faso, and the Niger’s exit, and the effect on regional integration and cooperation. Rational Choice theory was adopted as a theoretical framework suitable for the underpinnings of this study. A qualitative research method, i.e., content analysis, was adopted to analyse the collated data. The study used secondary sources of data collection, e.g., textbooks, journals, conference proceedings, and internet sources, which were thematically discussed. The study finds that the trio-member nations that withdrew their membership are not parasitic and dependent on ECOWAS but have contributed to the continuous well-being of the organisation towards promoting and ensuring the regional integration, cooperation, growth, and development at large. The study concluded that the ECOWAS political and socio-economic system has been seriously affected, including the organisational image and recognition in Africa and globally. The study recommends that policymakers and international organisations such as ECOWAS, AU, EU, etc., should ensure inclusivity of all member nations, which would bring a sense of value and belonging that will keep them committed and loyal to their organizations, to avoid any member nation rising to disobey the principles of this organisation with the mindset of exit.

Abstract

The Industrial Revolution 4.0 and the development of information technology have reached the point where it is possible to create Artificial Intelligence (AI) that can replace most things humans can do. The government is affected by this change. Such rapid global developments demand improvements in the performance management of the State Civil Apparatus (ASN). ASN performance management is not only for assessing employee performance but also as a tool for improving employee performance. The shift in the perspective of ASN performance management is leading to a cascading approach, supporting agile work mechanisms in line with organizational needs and the implementation of continuous performance dialogues between leaders and employees. This research is qualitative and uses a descriptive method in trying to analyze the function of law in ASN performance management regulations since the enactment of Law No.5 of 2014 concerning the State Civil Apparatus until now. This study shows the importance of consistently and accountably implementing the principle of transparency as a general principle applicable in the management of civil servant performance in Indonesia.

Abstract

This article aims to analyze the effectiveness of the Quadruple Helix model in supporting the sustainability of the Free Nutritional Meal Program (MBG) in Makassar City. The problem focuses on the dynamics of collaboration between government, academics, business actors (SPPG and Partners), and community leaders/NGOs in program implementation. To approach this problem, the theoretical reference used is Carayannis and Campbell (2009) on the Quadruple Helix model as a framework for social innovation collaboration. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document studies with eight key informants, then analyzed qualitatively using a case study approach. The results show that the city government plays a dominant role as a driver, SPPG and effective partners in the technical realm of food distribution, while academics and NGOs have not been optimally involved, resulting in weak contributions to policy evaluation, nutritional standards, and social support. Obstacles that emerged include limited inter-agency coordination, kitchen capacity, menu variety, and low transparency and community participation. This study concludes that the effectiveness of MBG is still partial, but opportunities for improvement are open through the establishment of a cross-actor coordination body, formal involvement of academics, and strengthening the participation of MSMEs and civil society to ensure the sustainability and quality of the program. This research contributes to enriching the discourse on Quadruple Helix-based social policy collaboration at the local level and provides practical effectiveness in empowering the governance of national nutrition programs based on multi-actor partnerships.

Abstract

This study examined the influence of elite manipulation of the levy system on stakeholders’ engagement in development initiatives in Nigeria’s Niger Delta. Several social research studies have basically addressed issues like oil theft, oil exploration, environmental challenges caused by oil spillage, ethnic conflict, and political neglect. This study differs in perspective as it undertakes an extensive review of the sociological aspects of the community levy system and stakeholder management, involvement, and roles in developmental concerns that affect the region. The objective was to determine how elite interference in the allocation and distribution of community levies affects trust and participation among key stakeholders, including local communities, oil firms, and government agencies. Based on the Elite Theory, which posits that power structures often manipulate resources for private gain, the study employed a quantitative research approach using a cross-sectional survey design. A total of 400 participants were purposively and randomly selected from the Niger Delta communities. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire designed to capture respondents’ perceptions of levy management, elite influence, and stakeholder engagement. Descriptive statistics and the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation were employed to analyze the data and identify relationships among the variables. The findings revealed a significant negative correlation between elite manipulation of community levies and stakeholders’ active participation in local development efforts. It was observed that elite control over levy disbursement erodes community trust and discourages collaborative engagement in development planning and implementation. The study recommended that the Nigerian government and international development partners strengthen accountability and transparency mechanisms in community levy management. Furthermore, it advocated for inclusive governance frameworks that empower local stakeholders, enhance participatory decision-making, and curtail elite dominance in the management of developmental resources. These measures would promote equitable resource utilization and foster sustainable development in the Niger Delta region.
