Abstract

The rapid growth of the digital gig economy has given rise to a new and controversial profession: Binary Option platform affiliates, who frequently employ the "flexing" marketing strategy (excessive displays of wealth) to attract customers. This phenomenon has become a serious problem in Human Resource Management (HRM) due to the use of psychological manipulation and dishonest information in the recruitment process for new users or partners. This activity often traps customers in a speculative and illegal system, substantially resembling online gambling. This study aims to analyze the morality of flexing-based recruitment strategies through the lens of HRM ethics and interfaith perspectives, particularly Islam and Christianity, to examine the social and spiritual impacts of this digital economic malpractice. This study uses qualitative methods with a descriptive and comparative approach between positive law and religious norms in Indonesia and Singapore. The analysis examines affiliate marketing practices and religious texts relevant to the ethics of earning a living and honesty. Flexing is an unethical recruitment strategy because it violates the principles of transparency and professional integrity, where commissions are derived from the losses of others (loss-sharing). This practice is identified as a form of Riya (showing off) and support for Maysir (gambling) and Gharar (uncertainty/fraud), which are strictly prohibited in Islamic economic law because they harm others for personal gain. From a Christian perspective, this strategy contradicts the principle of honesty towards others and the warning about the "Love of Money" as the root of evil, and ignores the value of humility and moral responsibility in managing God's blessings. The difference in policy in Indonesia, which prohibits Binary Options as gambling, compared to Singapore, which strictly regulates it, shows how religious morality values ​​influence public policy. The study concludes that flexing in the digital gig economy is not just a social trend, but a crisis of recruitment morality. The integration of Islamic and Christian values ​​can provide a strong ethical foundation to strengthen digital HR regulations and protect society from fraud-based economic exploitation.

Abstract

The legal protection of victims of crime requires serious attention, as the victims frequently refuse to respect their human rights. In the criminal justice system in Idonesia the rights of victims of criminal acts are not widely accommodated, as the normative provision in the Act only states that the victim of a serious offence can obtain compensation from the state. With regard to criminal acts, it should be recognised that not all perpetrators can pay damages or compensation. So in this case, the state must play a role in restoring the condition of victims of crime, which can undermine the dignity and dignity of the victims

This article aims to reveal the representation of Banyumas local wisdom values ​​as reflected in the Kembang Glepang anthology. Researchers interpreted data related to the value of local wisdom in the literary works of Banyumas writers in the Kembang Glepang anthology. The data in the research were obtained from interviews, observations and interpretations of the literary works of Banyumas writers in the anthology Kembang Glepang. The focus of this research is on the book Kembang Glepang which was used by the Culture and Tourism Service as an effort to explore literacy in Banyumas. Representations of Banyumas local wisdom values ​​as reflected in the Kembang Glepang anthology appear in art, language and discourse. In Banyumas, traditional art reflects local wisdom in various aspects, from themes, styles, to the techniques used. Art plays a crucial role in preserving local wisdom amidst the currents of globalization and modernization. Then what is more important is the linguistic aspect. The Kembang Glepang anthology contains various aspects of linguistic locality which make this anthological work unique. This linguistic aspect is concluded in the use of Banyumasan terms and proverbs in the various literary works published, the existence of local legends that inspired the birth of folklore, the use of certain ritual language in literary works, the existence of place names and people's names that symbolize Banyumasan, and the use of dialects. as well as language variations in narrative, dialogue, or in the poetry of the Kembang Glepang anthology. For the people of Banyumas, the ngapak dialect is not just a means of communication, but also a symbol of cultural identity.

Abstract

This study critically examines how organizational identity, meritocratic evaluation, and commercialization intersect to reproduce professional inequality within the Nigerian accounting profession. Employing a qualitative research design, it draws on document analysis and in-depth interviews with accounting professionals across diverse firms. Thematic analysis identifies four interrelated mechanisms. First, a dominant discourse of neutrality and technical objectivity obscures underlying power relations within the profession. Second, merit-based evaluation systems privilege elite educational credentials and embedded social capital, thereby reinforcing stratified access to career advancement. Third, intensifying commercialization pressures prioritize revenue generation and client acquisition, reshaping professional norms and performance expectations. Fourth, discursive strategies are mobilized to legitimize and normalize exclusionary outcomes. The findings demonstrate that organizational identity functions not merely as a symbolic construct but as a material and institutional mechanism structuring access to opportunities, recognition, and rewards. While meritocracy and market-oriented logics are framed as neutral and efficiency-driven, they operate in practice as instruments that reproduce structural inequalities. This study contributes to critical debates on professional stratification and institutional power, and calls for targeted interventions by policymakers and professional bodies to balance market imperatives with inclusion, thereby fostering more equitable career progression.
