Abstract

In developing countries like Indonesia, the study of public attitudes toward foreign policy remains a largely unexplored area. As one of the world's largest democracies, public opinion plays an important role in shaping foreign policy, influenced by cultural, historical, economic, and geographical factors. This study aims to examine how International Relations students view it based on the geographical location of their institution. This study uses quantitative approach using SMARTPLS 4 applications. The study population consisted of 431 respondents. Researchers used a measuring instrument namely The Structure of Foreign Policy Attitudes developed by Gravele. The results show different geographic patterns. These findings highlight the role of regional and sociocultural contexts in shaping the foreign policy perspectives of Indonesia's younger generation, providing insight into how Indonesia's diplomatic voice in the future might reflect its geographical and ideological diversity.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of green marketing, brand image, and emotional desire on customer satisfaction and loyalty within the context of McDonald's, a leading brand in the fast-food industry. In response to growing environmental awareness and intense market competition, companies are increasingly required not only to offer high-quality products but also to foster emotional connections and build strong, positive brand images in the minds of consumers. Employing a quantitative approach, this research uses a survey method targeting consumers of environmentally friendly products. The population comprised customers who had made at least two purchases at McDonald’s, and data were collected using a purposive sampling technique, yielding a total of 225 respondents. Questionnaires were distributed between February and April 2025, and data were analyzed using the SmartPLS software. The findings reveal that green marketing, brand image, and emotional desire significantly influence customer satisfaction. Moreover, brand image and emotional desire directly impact customer loyalty, while green marketing does not have a direct effect. Emotional desire also indirectly positively affects customer loyalty through the mediating role of customer satisfaction. However, green marketing and brand image do not exhibit significant indirect effects through customer satisfaction. This study contributes to understanding emotional and sustainability-related drivers of customer loyalty in the fast-food sector. It offers practical implications for marketers and business practitioners, emphasizing the need to integrate emotional engagement and environmentally responsible strategies to enhance customer loyalty.

Abstract

This study examines Tyler Perry's 2025 film Straw through Pierre Bourdieu's sociological theory, focusing on intersections of motherhood, mental health, and societal pressure. Despite increasing scholarly attention to Black women's cinematic representation, a significant gap exists in Bourdieusian analyses of contemporary films that centre mental health dimensions of Black motherhood, particularly in dramatic narratives addressing institutional violence. This study addresses three research questions: (RQ1) How does Straw represent the depletion of economic, social, and symbolic capital for Black single mothers within institutional fields? (RQ2) What narrative and visual strategies does the film employ to dramatize symbolic violence and its psychological consequences? (RQ3) How does Perry's film contribute to evolving cinematic representations of mental health in Black motherhood narratives? The study employs qualitative close textual analysis of key scenes across five thematic categories. Analysis includes scene transcription, visual motif identification (framing, sound, montage), Bourdieusian concept mapping, and literature triangulation. Scene selection criteria prioritized moments depicting capital exchange, institutional power dynamics, and psychological transformation. Drawing on Bourdieu's concepts of capital, habitus, field, and symbolic violence, the analysis reveals how the film dramatizes economic, social, and symbolic capital erosion endured by marginalized mothers. The findings document three distinct patterns such as the cascading institutional failures that transform routine encounters into crises, the weaponization of maternal identity through surveillance systems, and the psychological accumulation of symbolic violence leading to breaking points. This study makes three contributions: it extends Bourdieu's symbolic violence concept to cinematic mental health representation, documents emerging patterns in Black motherhood film narratives post-2020, and offers methodological innovations for integrating sociological theory with film textual analysis. The study argues that Straw exposes cumulative effects of societal neglect and stigmatization of Black motherhood, offering critical perspective on systemic barriers limiting agency and wellbeing.

Abstract

This study explores the institutionalization of village-owned enterprises (VOEs) in a program developed in Indonesia to encourage village economic independence through the management of local potential by the community. The study of VOEs institutions in recent years has experienced rapid growth, meaning that there is an increasing urgency to face this challenge. This data is based on a bibliometric analysis to evaluate the scientific landscape of village-owned enterprises using the Biblioshiny analysis tool in R-Studio, as well as VOSviewer and MS Excel. This study analyzes 197 articles published from 2005 to 2024, based on Scopus data, by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria through range, subject area, and document type. The main findings highlight trends in scientific work production, thematic analysis, most cited articles, country contributions, word cloud analysis, trend topics, most frequent words, and co-occurrence networks. The results of the analysis show that from 2005 to 2015, contributions were dominated by authors from Canada and the United States, but from 2016 to 2024, they were dominated by authors from Indonesia. The highest number of citations, namely 925, was published in 2006. The most frequently appearing words include community-based enterprise, sustainability, bumdes, and village-owned enterprises. Thus, VOEs have become one of the biggest challenges in managing economic potential, village assets, and public services in order to improve the welfare of villagers. The role of the government in realizing village independence is very important through the management of VOEs because basically the community will prosper if village income increases. These findings contribute to future research and practice as a reference for stakeholders in making policies, developing governance, research and practitioners in realizing regional economic independence that synergizes with government programs.

Abstract

The Bangladesh Army has long contributed to the country’s education sector setting an important example in nation-building. The study aims to assess the contributions, opportunities, and limitations of Army-administered Educational Institutions (AAEIs) and explore their potential role in Madrasah, technical and vocational education, areas where structured governance remains an ongoing national concern. It addresses a key gap in existing literature by examining the research problem.  The study employed a qualitative approach, and the views of administrators, teachers, students, and parents were collected through 70 in-depth interviews (IDI) and four focus group discussions (FGD) using purposive and convenience sampling. Data were analysed through thematic procedures involving coding and category development. Findings indicates that AAEIs have gained widespread trust among parents and students due to their emphasis on discipline, security, efficient management, and moral education while some challenges include higher tuition fees compared to government schools and colleges, difficult to access in cantonment areas, frequent changes of principals, and non-standard student-teacher ratio etc. The study identifies recurring themes related to institutional capabilities, public trust, operational limitations, and future expansion of the Army’s role in diversified education streams. The study recommends that curriculum development, teacher training and technology integration are found necessary to achieve international standards and as a pilot project, the Army may bring about qualitative changes in Madrasah and technical education through efficient administration. At the same time, the research points out the way to transform AAEIs into a sustainable and inclusive education model. The study’s insights carry implications for educational policy and contribute to global discussions on the educational roles of military institutions.

Abstract

Green consumption is now a phenomenon that is not only growing at the global and national levels, but is also beginning to enter urban communities such as the city of Bogor in Indonesia. In an effort to mitigate environmental problems, green consumption behavior offers a strategic and sustainable approach, which is expected to build collective awareness among the community of the importance of an environmentally friendly lifestyle.  The trend of green consumption behavior, driven by awareness of the importance of protecting the environment and self-efficacy to support its implementation, is hampered by several factors. The correlation between the two can be examined using the Theory of Planned Behavior, which explains the relationship between environmental awareness and self-efficacy, which is formed from consumer interactions through attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. This study aims to investigate the role of perceived behavior control in helping to accelerate the trend of green consumption among consumers of environmentally friendly products in Bogor City. In this study, data were obtained through the distribution of questionnaires to respondents selected using purposive sampling. The number of variables observed in this study was 20 indicators, resulting in a sample size of 100.  Respondent demographics were divided into 6 profile categories such as gender; generation; education; occupation; monthly expenditure; and residential area in Bogor City. The data were analyzed using PLS-SEM and processed with SmartPLS 4 software. The main findings show that the relationship between self-efficacy and PBC has the most significant pathway. In addition, the role of PBC as a psychological factor has a substantial contribution in bridging self-efficacy and green consumption, making it a key factor in strengthening individual self-efficacy to adopt green consumption behavior.

Abstract

Monitoring,​‍​‌‍​‍‌ Evaluation, and Learning (MEL) systems are essential tools in assessing programme performance and aiding in evidence-based decision-making within development initiatives. Unfortunately, MEL practices in Tanzania are usually hindered by dispersed data sources, low analytical capacity, and slow uptake of evaluation results for decision-making. This paper aims at developing a decision-making framework that will integrate Big Data Analytics (BDA) in MEL (Monitoring, Evaluation, and Learning) systems. The authors adopted a mixed-methods research design that captured qualitative data through semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, and quantitative data through structured questionnaires administered to MEL practitioners in the health, education, agriculture, and economic development sectors. The coding of qualitative data was done through thematic analysis, and the processing of quantitative data was done through descriptive and inferential statistics. One of the major findings of the study is that the inclusion of BDA into MEL has helped to increase the efficiency of data analysis and decision support. The research further revealed the main obstacles to the adoption of BDA in MEL that are data quality issues, lack of infrastructure, lack of technical skills, and concerns related to data governance. The authors present a holistic BDA-enabled MEL decision-making framework bridging diverse data sources and sophisticated analytics to support policy evaluation, formative, developmental, and summative evaluation functions. The suggested framework incorporates practical steps for organizations willing to enhance their MEL systems and serves as a generalizable model that can be customized and empirically tested in other developing-country settings and practice in the ​‍​‌‍​‍‌future.

Abstract

This study examines the alignment between higher learning education and the labour market in Tanzania. The shift from a socialist ideology to a free-market economy, coupled with technological advancements and increased competition in the East African community, has led to a scarcity of employment opportunities. The current education system needs to adapt to the changing needs of the workforce and foster self-reliance and creativity. The study aims to assess the influence of liberalism in education and employment opportunities in higher learning education in Tanzania. Specifically, the study evaluates the alignment of higher learning institutions' curricula with employment opportunities in Tanzania. The study utilizes a mixed research approach, including a survey of graduates. The findings reveal the skills gap in the higher learning education curriculum in employment opportunities in Tanzania. The findings contribute to evidence-based strategies and policies that improve graduates' employability and success in the labour market. The study concludes that higher learning institutions should provide appropriate training to enable graduates to acquire employment skills. Also, the government should address the unemployment situation of graduates in the country by investing in projects that offer youths employment.

Abstract

Academic performance at the secondary level is a crucial determinant of students’ future educational attainment, employment opportunities, and socioeconomic mobility in developing countries. Despite improved access to secondary education in Bangladesh, significant disparities in academic achievement persist, largely driven by family socioeconomic conditions and students’ behavioral patterns. This study examines the influence of parental socioeconomic characteristics and students’ time-use behavior on secondary school academic performance using primary household-level data from Khulna district, Bangladesh. Data were collected through face-to-face surveys of 94 parents of students who passed the Secondary School Certificate (SSC) examination in 2023. Students’ academic performance is measured using SSC Grade Point Average (GPA), which is right-censored at the upper limit of 5; therefore, a Tobit regression model is employed to obtain unbiased estimates. The results show that maternal education, household income, educational expenditure, nuclear family structure, and study time have statistically significant positive effects on students’ GPA. In contrast, unstable paternal employment particularly day labor poor housing conditions, higher non-educational expenditure, and excessive time spent playing are negatively associated with academic performance. Empirically, each additional year of mothers’ schooling increases GPA by 0.071 points, while students whose fathers are engaged in day-labor employment score about 1.59 GPA points lower than those from farming households. Overall, the findings highlight the central roles of maternal human capital, household economic stability, family environment, and effective time management in shaping secondary-level academic outcomes. The study provides district-level evidence and supports policies aimed at promoting maternal education, assisting economically vulnerable households, improving home learning conditions, and encouraging balanced study habits to reduce educational inequality.

Abstract

Despite Indonesia’s adoption of Basel III standards and high formal compliance with Good Corporate Governance (GCG) (96%), a significant gap remains between regulatory compliance and actual governance effectiveness. This study examines how implementation of the RGEC framework affects banking performance and financial stability in Indonesia compared to ASEAN peers. Using a mixed-methods design, the research combines a systematic literature review and meta-analysis of 68 peer-reviewed studies (2019–2024) with thematic analysis of regulatory documents and banking reports. The results show that integrated risk management has a significant positive effect on banking performance (coefficient: 1.174; p = 0.0003), with credit and operational risks accounting for 67% of performance variance. Three key gaps are identified: (1) a disconnect between GCG compliance and substantive effectiveness, (2) uneven risk governance capacity across bank tiers, and (3) limited integration of emerging risks within RGEC assessments. While Risk Profile, GCG, and Earnings reduce financial distress, Capital shows a paradoxical positive relationship, suggesting that capital adequacy alone is insufficient without strong risk governance. This study introduces a hierarchical risk-impact model tailored to Indonesian banking and proposes an enhanced RGEC+ framework that integrates climate risk, cybersecurity, and fintech disruption. The findings highlight that adopting international standards does not guarantee effective implementation without corresponding organizational capacity and governance quality—an important implication for financial systems in emerging markets.
