Abstract

Governments worldwide are implementing digital transformation policies to enhance public service delivery. However, the impact of these algorithm-driven systems on street-level bureaucrats remains critically under-examined. This study investigates the complex pathways through which Indonesia's e-government policy affects bureaucratic work and service outcomes. This study employed a mixed-methods explanatory sequential design. Quantitative data were collected from 500 public officials across five Indonesian provinces. An E-Government Implementation Index (EGII) was constructed. We used Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression and a formal mediation analysis with bootstrapping to analyze the relationships between EGII, Perceived Bureaucratic Discretion (PBD), and Bureaucrat-Perceived Public Service Quality (B-PSQ). This was supplemented by 20 in-depth, semi-structured interviews to explain the statistical findings. Regression analysis confirmed a significant negative association between EGII and PBD (β = -0.47, p < 0.001) and a significant positive association between EGII and B-PSQ (β = 0.62, p < 0.001). The mediation analysis revealed that EGII has a strong, positive direct effect on B-PSQ (Effect = 0.57, p < 0.001) and a small but significant negative indirect effect through the reduction of PBD (Effect = -0.05, p < 0.01). Qualitative data revealed that officials feel constrained by "algorithmic cages" that, while improving efficiency, limit their ability to handle exceptional cases, thereby risking service equity for marginalized citizens. In conclusion, Indonesia’s digital transformation presents a complex trade-off. It successfully enhances administrative efficiency but simultaneously curtails the beneficial discretion of frontline bureaucrats, creating a small but significant drag on service quality. Effective digital governance requires a hybrid model that embeds algorithmic systems within a framework that empowers, rather than replaces, human judgment.

Abstract

The 2024 Indonesian presidential election marked a tectonic shift in its political landscape, dissolving the decade-long 'Cebong versus Kampret' rivalry. This study investigates whether this realignment led to depolarization or a reconfiguration of partisan animosity. It examines the structure and predictors of affective polarization in the immediate post-election environment. A cross-sectional survey was conducted from May to July 2024, involving 1,500 respondents across 15 provinces, selected via a multi-stage random sampling method with probability proportional to size. Affective polarization was measured using a feeling thermometer scale. Key predictors—including ideological self-placement, social media consumption for political news, and intergroup contact—were analyzed using hierarchical multiple regression. To test for non-linear ideological effects, both linear and quadratic terms for ideology were included in the model. The analysis reveals that affective polarization remains a potent force. The regression model showed a strong fit (R2= 0.47). While a linear measure of ideology was not a significant predictor, its quadratic term was a powerful and positive predictor (b = 0.42, p<0.001), indicating a U-shaped relationship where individuals at both ideological poles exhibit significantly higher polarization than those in the center. High consumption of partisan social media was also strongly associated with increased polarization (b = 0.35, p<0.001), while quality intergroup contact was linked to lower levels (b = -0.21, p<0.001). In conclusion, the post-2024 political era in Indonesia is characterized by a reconfiguration, not a dissipation, of affective polarization. The cleavage is no longer primarily personality-driven but is increasingly structured by ideological sorting, amplified by digital media ecosystems. These findings highlight the need for initiatives promoting cross-cutting dialogue and digital literacy to safeguard democratic health.

Abstract

The state-led relocation of Indonesia's capital to Nusantara (IKN) is a monumental project framed as a leap into a sustainable future. However, this top-down imposition of modernity is creating deep social fissures on the ground. This study conducts a sociological autopsy of the IKN development, dissecting the intricate mechanisms of resistance, displacement, and identity formation among affected communities. We employed a concurrent embedded mixed-methods design in North Penajam Paser, East Kalimantan (Jan 2024–Mar 2025). A structured survey was administered to 500 households, selected via a multi-stage sampling process, to quantify displacement anxieties and resistance participation. This was triangulated with 50 in-depth interviews with community leaders, displaced residents, and officials. Quantitative data were analyzed using t-tests and a Negative Binomial regression model to identify predictors of resistance, while qualitative data were analyzed thematically. Survey data revealed profound anxiety, with indigenous communities reporting significantly higher distress levels (t(498) = 10.2, p < 0.001). The Negative Binomial regression identified indigenous status (IRR=3.45, p<0.001), reliance on agro-forestry (IRR=2.88, p<0.001), and higher anxiety scores (IRR=1.12, p<0.001) as significant predictors of increased participation in resistance activities. Qualitative findings uncovered a sophisticated "tripartite arsenal" of resistance (symbolic, material, legal) and documented the emergence of a "Janus-faced" state, perceived as both coercively present and procedurally absent. In conclusion, the IKN project is a site of intense social struggle where competing modernities collide. State-led development, without genuine participation, engenders resilient and adaptive forms of social resistance and catalyzes a dialectical process of identity politicization. We argue that IKN risks becoming a landscape of exclusionary modernity unless a fundamental shift towards rights-based development is enacted.

Abstract

Indonesia's mandatory Halal certification policy represents a critical juncture of state governance, religious practice, and neoliberal market forces. This study moves beyond a purely economic or policy-based analysis to investigate how this regulation functions as a powerful engine of social stratification. We examine the process by which Halal certification creates a new social field of consumption, reshaping class distinctions and religious expression in urban Indonesia. A mixed-methods sequential explanatory design was employed in Jakarta and Makassar. The quantitative phase involved a survey of 500 urban consumers selected via multi-stage stratified sampling. Key variables, including Socio-Economic Status (SES) and Religiosity, were constructed as composite indices. Logistic regression and a Two-Step Cluster Analysis, justified by Bayesian Information Criterion (BIC) and silhouette coefficients, were used to identify consumer patterns. The qualitative phase comprised 30 in-depth semi-structured interviews and over 100 hours of participant observation, with a specific focus on the gendered dynamics of consumption. Quantitative analysis reveals that SES is the strongest predictor of willingness to pay a premium for Halal-certified products (OR=2.89, p<0.001). Cluster analysis identified three distinct consumer profiles: the 'Conscious Cosmopolitans', 'Pious Pragmatists', and 'Market Traditionalists'. Qualitative findings illuminate how the Halal logo has been symbolically transformed from a religious marker into a signifier of quality, modernity, and class. This enables "piety signaling," a gendered performance of social status. In conclusion, Halal certification is not a neutral regulatory tool but an active force in social structuration. It creates a new field of distinction where "Halal capital" is used to perform symbolic boundary-work, legitimizing inequality through the moral language of piety. This study contributes a novel theoretical framework for understanding how state-regulated religion intersects with consumer capitalism to forge new, intersectional hierarchies of class and gender in the contemporary Muslim world.

Abstract

The digital divide in higher education, particularly in resource-constrained environments, critically impedes institutional effectiveness and academic parity. Effective network systems management (NSM) is the bedrock of modern pedagogy and administration, yet its key determinants are insufficiently understood in these challenging contexts. This study investigates the factors predicting the quality of NSM in public Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) within a geographically isolated and developing region. A quantitative, cross-sectional study was conducted at three public HEIs in Sulu, Philippines, a representative resource-constrained archipelagic province. A validated survey instrument was administered to a stratified sample of 256 respondents, including IT personnel, administrators, faculty, and students. The instrument measured three latent constructs identified from the literature: IT Governance and Policy (ITGP), Technical Infrastructure and Configuration (TIC), and Human Capital and Personnel (HCP). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and multiple linear regression. The overall quality of NSM was found to be 'moderately satisfactory' (M=2.84, SD=1.05), but with a statistically significant and profound chasm between institutions (p < 0.001). Institution 3 (M=1.50) was 'unsatisfactory,' while Institution 2 (M=3.53) achieved a 'satisfactory' status. The multiple regression model was significant (F(3, 252) = 188.7, p < 0.001), explaining 68.9% (Adjusted R²) of the variance in NSM. IT Governance and Policy emerged as the most powerful predictor (β = 0.45, p < 0.001), followed by Human Capital and Personnel (β = 0.31, p < 0.001). Technical Infrastructure and Configuration (β = 0.18, p < 0.01), while significant, had the smallest unique contribution. In conclusion, the study demonstrates that institutional policy and human capital are more critical determinants of effective network management than technical infrastructure alone. Bridging the digital chasm in resource-constrained HEIs requires a holistic, socio-technical approach, prioritizing the development of robust IT governance frameworks and investing in the continuous training, retention, and empowerment of skilled IT personnel.

Abstract

Livestream commerce (LSC) has redefined digital retail in Southeast Asia, with Indonesia as its most competitive market. The two dominant platforms, Shopee Live and TikTok Shop, leverage vastly different user interfaces and engagement philosophies—commerce-first versus content-first, respectively. However, the precise cognitive and affective mechanisms by which these platforms guide consumer attention and trigger impulse purchases remain empirically unexamined. This study employed a within-subjects laboratory experiment with 60 Indonesian consumers (aged 18-25). A multi-modal neuromarketing approach was used, synchronizing eye-tracking (ET) and electroencephalography (EEG) data. Participants viewed six 60-second LSC clips (three from Shopee Live, three from TikTok Shop) matched for product category. Key eye-tracking metrics (Total Fixation Duration, Time to First Fixation) were analyzed across predefined Areas of Interest (AOIs: Host Face, Product, Price, CTA Button, Chat). EEG data was processed to derive Frontal Alpha Asymmetry (FAA) for approach-avoidance motivation and Cognitive Load indices. Post-stimulus surveys measured Impulse Buying Urge (IBU). Significant differences emerged. Shopee Live generated longer Total Fixation Duration on the Host’s Face (M=12,500ms) and Price/Discount AOIs (M=8,800ms). Conversely, TikTok Shop elicited significantly faster Time to First Fixation on the Product (M=1,600ms) and CTA Button (M=2,800ms), and higher TFD on these AOIs. Neurologically, TikTok Shop produced significantly greater FAA (M=0.19 vs. 0.08), indicating higher approach motivation, and also induced a higher cognitive load. A multiple regression analysis revealed that the strongest predictors of IBU were TFD on the CTA Button, FAA, and TFD on the Host’s Face. TFD on the product itself was not a significant predictor. In conclusion, the findings demonstrate that platform architecture fundamentally shapes the "live" gaze. Shopee Live fosters a deliberative, host-centric, and price-evaluative attentional strategy. TikTok Shop promotes a rapid, immersive, and conversion-focused gaze, driving higher affective engagement (approach) and subsequent impulse buying. The study provides novel evidence that in LSC, impulse triggers are tied more to conversion-point (CTA) and para-social (Host) cues than to the product itself.

Abstract

Despite the historical success of Indonesia's family planning program, the contraceptive prevalence rate (CPR) has stagnated, driven largely by high rates of contraceptive discontinuation (29%). Conventional demographic analyses often attribute this to biomedical side effects, overlooking the structural influence of kinship systems and the potential confounding role of socioeconomic status. This study aims to analyze the structural pathways linking patriarchal gender norms to contraceptive discontinuation, mediated by reproductive autonomy, while explicitly controlling for educational attainment. We compare Indonesia’s two dominant cultural groups: the matrilineal Minangkabau and the patriarchal Javanese. A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted with 1,450 married women of reproductive age in West Sumatra (Minangkabau, n=725) and Central Java (Javanese, n=725). We employed Multi-Group Structural Equation Modeling (MG-SEM) with a rigorous invariance testing protocol. The model tested the "Patriarchal Norms → Reproductive Autonomy → Discontinuation Propensity" pathway, adjusting for age and education level. Measurement invariance (Configural and Metric) was established, allowing for valid group comparisons. The Minangkabau group exhibited significantly higher education levels (p<0.001). However, even after controlling for education, the structural analysis revealed a distinct divergence. Among Javanese women, patriarchal norms significantly suppressed autonomy (β = -0.58, p < 0.001), leading to higher discontinuation propensity. Conversely, Minangkabau women displayed a "Matrilineal Buffer"; the path from patriarchal norms to autonomy was non-significant (β = -0.09, p > 0.05), suggesting that cultural leverage protects decision-making power regardless of internalized gender norms. In conclusion, the mechanism of contraceptive discontinuation is culturally distinct. The "Matrilineal Buffer" is a robust structural phenomenon that persists independent of educational advantages. Interventions in patriarchal settings must dismantle barriers to female autonomy, while programs in matrilineal settings should focus on quality of care.
