This study examines how socioeconomic factors influence livelihood diversification among households living in peatland areas in Palangka Raya City. Peatland ecosystems that are vulnerable to fire, degradation, and environmental pressure require communities to adopt adaptive livelihood strategies to sustain economic stability. Using survey data from 100 households, this study analyzes the roles of education, household income, fire risk, and access to credit within the Sustainable Livelihood Framework. The results show that education and income significantly increase households’ likelihood of diversifying their livelihoods, with education emerging as the most influential factor. In contrast, fire risk and access to credit are not statistically significant. These findings indicate that human capital and internal financial capacity play a more decisive role in livelihood decisions than ecological pressure or financial access alone. The study recommends strengthening education, vocational skills, and peatland-based local economic activities to enhance community resilience and support sustainable peatland development in Palangka Raya.

This study aims to examine the effect of work motivation on employee job satisfaction at the Gowa Regency Trade and Industry Office. Human resources are the main factor in determining the success of an organization, so work motivation is an important aspect to improve employee performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with data collection techniques through questionnaires to the entire population of 36 people, consisting of 29 Civil Servants and 7 honorary workers. The analysis technique used is path analysis with the help of the SPSS 23 program. The results show that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee job satisfaction with a p-value of 0.000 < 0.05. The highest indicator of work motivation is work performance, followed by work facilities, recognition from superiors, remuneration, and working conditions. This finding strengthens the results of previous studies that state that work motivation can increase employee job satisfaction. Facts in the field show that there are efforts to provide motivation by leaders through challenging tasks, direction, and appreciation for employee performance. Thus, the higher the work motivation given to employees, the higher their level of job satisfaction. These results form an important basis for efforts to improve the quality of human resources in government environments.

Audits are conducted to ensure that the information in financial statements is accurate and to provide users with confidence in management's accountability. However, financial statements still contain errors due to incomplete or biased reporting, or fraud. The 2022 ACFE results show that Indonesia ranks fourth among the four most fraudulent countries in the Asia-Pacific. In Indonesia, there were 23 cases of fraud, with 6.7 percent of these cases involving financial statement fraud. This indicates that management continues to commit fraud in financial reporting. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the influence of financial targets, industry nature, changes in directors, and auditor changes on financial fraud. This study will utilize data from 13 state-owned enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results show that the moderating effect of audit quality weakens the influence of financial targets, industry nature, changes in directors, and auditor changes on financial fraud.

Coordination of state intelligence is one source of problems which also This article explores the integration of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) with Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) in the banking sector. The integration of GRC and ESG, known as ESGRC, plays a crucial role in mitigating both financial and non-financial risks, enhancing reputation, and creating long-term value through smarter risk management and sustainable governance. Additionally, ESGRC facilitates better responses to global challenges such as climate change and social inequality while unlocking new opportunities in sustainable finance, including carbon trading and green financing. Other strategic benefits include improved transparency, accountability, and corporate performance. However, the article highlights several major challenges, including the need for investment in advanced technologies like Big Data and Artificial Intelligence, as well as the cultural shifts required to support ESGRC adoption. Regulations like POJK 51/2017 and POJK 14/2023 in Indonesia serve as key drivers for ESGRC implementation, though global uncertainties remain significant barriers.

The volatile Indonesian used EV market is characterized by high consumer uncertainty due to aggressive new EV price wars, necessitating an understanding of the key factors driving purchase intention. This study analyzed the determinant factors influencing consumer purchase intention toward used EVs in Indonesia using an Extended Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) framework by examining five individual motivational Attitude dimensions, Attitude, Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC), Subjective Norms, Past Purchase Experience, electronic Word-of-Mouth (e-WOM), and Willingness to Pay (WTP). A quantitative survey of 426 valid Indonesian respondents was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Research indicate that Economic Motivation is the sole significant antecedent to Attitude strongly dominating sustainable and ethical motivations, Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC) emerged as the strongest predictor of Purchase Intention underscoring consumer technical risk aversion, Attitude exhibited a marginal negative effect on Purchase Intention, suggesting that technical risk concerns outweigh positive sentiment, Purchase Intention significantly drives both e-WOM and WTP, confirming its central role in the adoption ecosystem. The conclusion is that used EV adoption in Indonesia is driven by rational economic calculation and technical confidence, rather than environmental values. Managerially, the necessity for standardized battery health certification is highlighted to enhance consumer Perceived Behavioral Control (PBC). This research offers novelty by integrating five specific motivational dimensions into an extended TPB framework to analyze purchase intention, e-WOM, and WTP within the unique and volatile Indonesian used EV market, particularly highlighting the dominant role of Economic Motivation and PBC in a developing market with high price volatility.

Ensuring customer loyalty in Indonesia’s oil and chemical freight shipping sector remains challenging despite substantial investment in operational improvement and digital technology. In this high risk logistics environment, where compliance, reliability, and safety are essential, customer loyalty is not shaped by service performance alone. This study examines the effects of service quality, perceived value, and Customer Relationship Management on customer loyalty, with customer satisfaction positioned as a mediating variable. Grounded in SERVQUAL, perceived value theory, and relationship marketing, the study adopts a quantitative explanatory approach. Data were collected from 200 corporate clients of PT PCS Internasional and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling. The findings show that service quality significantly improves perceived value but does not directly influence customer satisfaction. This indicates that customers first interpret service performance through the value they receive before forming satisfaction judgments. Perceived value and CRM both have significant positive effects on satisfaction, while satisfaction emerges as the strongest predictor of customer loyalty with a path coefficient of 0.837. Mediation analysis further reveals that loyalty is formed mainly through indirect pathways, especially through the relationship between CRM, satisfaction, and loyalty. The model demonstrates strong predictive power, explaining 94.5 percent of the variance in loyalty. These findings suggest that operational excellence alone is not sufficient to secure long term loyalty. Companies must also strengthen digital CRM, transparent communication, and value delivery. This study contributes to the literature by testing an integrated loyalty model in Indonesia’s hazardous shipping industry, a context that remains rarely explored empirically.

This study aims to explore the role of public speaking skills in enhancing corporate reputation through strategic business communication. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach involving the identification, evaluation, and systematic analysis of 50 articles, where six selected articles are the main focus based on the relevance and completeness of the text. The results of the study indicate that effective public speaking skills can strengthen emotional connections with the audience, increase public trust, and strengthen corporate reputation. In addition, communication strategies through strong public speaking narratives significantly contribute to crisis management and building relationships with stakeholders. This study also found that public speaking combined with social responsibility (CSR) communication creates positive perceptions of the company, strengthens customer loyalty, and increases the value of the organization's reputation. The contribution of this study to academic discussions is to strengthen the argument that public speaking skills are a strategic element in corporate reputation management. These findings provide a new perspective on the integration between public speaking and corporate communication strategies, which have often been separated in related research. This study also highlights the importance of public speaking in building transparency, trust, and emotional connections with various stakeholders, both internal and external. Thus, this study offers practical guidance for organizations in managing reputation through effective communication, as well as providing important insights for academics and practitioners to develop public speaking-based communication models in the digital era. This study provides a strong foundation for the development of innovative and relevant business communication strategies in an increasingly competitive global landscape..

The Village Fund Program represents a key policy initiative of the Indonesian government aimed at accelerating rural development and enhancing community welfare. Despite its strategic importance, its implementation continues to face oversight challenges that create opportunities for irregularities, as observed in Manggarai Regency, East Nusa Tenggara. This study seeks to examine the implementation of the Village Fund oversight system, identify potential points of deviation within the control chain, and analyze the implications of weak supervision on accountability.This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. The study was conducted in four villages in Satar Mese District, namely Paka, Papang, Lolang, and Umung. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving village heads, officials, BPD members, facilitators, community leaders, and beneficiaries. Data analysis followed thematic procedures, including data reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and method triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that the oversight system remains suboptimal. Potential irregularities emerge in three dimensions. Procedurally, monitoring and audits are not conducted consistently, with Lolang Village not audited by the Inspectorate between 2019 and 2024. Participatory weaknesses are evident in the limited involvement of the community and BPD. Administratively, documentation and reporting practices remain incomplete. These conditions increase the risk of moral hazard, weaken accountability, and reduce public trust. Grounded in Agency Theory, Fraud Triangle Theory, Good Governance, and public sector deviation perspectives, the study highlights the need to strengthen BPD capacity, enhance officials’ competence, provide internal audit training, and implement periodic external audits to ensure transparent, participatory, and accountable governance.

This study examines the written language errors produced by elementary school students in Makassar City through a psycholinguistic and educational management lens, foregrounding how linguistic performance is shaped by systemic, organizational, and instructional structures. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the research analyzed students’ written texts, classroom observations, and interviews with teachers to uncover the types, patterns, and underlying sources of writing errors. Findings reveal four dominant categories of errors orthographic, morphological, syntactic, and semantic each reflecting not only developmental cognitive processes but also the influence of instructional fragmentation, inconsistent feedback mechanisms, and limited teacher expertise in psycholinguistic-responsive pedagogy. Teachers’ perspectives further demonstrate how large class sizes, insufficient resources, and culturally unresponsive management practices constrain effective writing instruction, ultimately reproducing recurring student errors. The study argues that these linguistic weaknesses are organizational products, not individual deficits, and must therefore be addressed through strategic school management interventions. The implications highlight the need for coherent literacy programs, capacity-building for teachers, improved feedback systems, and managerial alignment between curriculum design and classroom delivery. By situating children’s written errors within the broader structure of educational governance, this study contributes to both psycholinguistic scholarship and educational management research, offering a deeper understanding of how institutional practices shape literacy outcomes. The results underscore that improving student writing accuracy requires integrated systemic reform rather than isolated classroom-level adjustments.

This research examines the impact of academic stress on students' mental health, which is caused by high academic demands. Using a qualitative approach and in-depth interviews, the study explored the experiences of 20 students at SMP Budi Mulia Bogor during August-September 2025. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze how academic stress, such as heavy workloads, pressure to achieve, and academic competition, can become a "silent killer" that erodes students' psychological well-being. The results indicate that high academic stress significantly contributes to increased anxiety, depression, and burnout among students. Implications include sleep disturbances, fatigue, decreased motivation, and withdrawal behavior. Therefore, it is important to create a learning environment that supports students' mental health through proportional time allocation, transparent scheduling, innovative teaching methods, as well as the active role of teachers and parents in supporting students' psychological well-being.
