Abstract

This study examines the communication strategies employed by the Kudus Culture and Tourism Office (Disbudpar) to promote religious tourism to international visitors. The research aims to analyze the effectiveness of these strategies in increasing Kudus' visibility as a religious tourism destination. A qualitative approach with a descriptive method was utilized, incorporating in-depth interviews, direct observations, and document analysis to gather insights from stakeholders, including Disbudpar officials, tour guides, and foreign tourists. The findings indicate that Disbudpar Kudus employs various promotional techniques, including social media campaigns, official websites, and participation in international tourism exhibitions. Social media platforms like Instagram and Facebook serve as primary channels, leveraging visual and interactive content to engage potential tourists. However, challenges remain, such as inconsistent responsiveness to inquiries and a lack of multilingual content. The study highlights the need for more immersive digital strategies to enhance engagement, such as augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). In conclusion, while the current strategies have contributed to increased international interest in Kudus, further improvements in digital engagement, global partnerships, and technological innovation are necessary to sustain long-term growth. This research provides practical recommendations for optimizing communication strategies to attract more international religious tourists and strengthen Kudus’ position in the global tourism market.

Abstract

This study aims to enhance the understanding of happiness at work (HAW) by examining its dimensions and characteristics. Furthermore, it investigates the generation of knowledge concerning HAW through various theoretical frameworks, contextual elements, and methodological approaches. The study also identifies potential future avenues for HAW research. This paper undertakes a systematic literature review of 42 selected empirical articles published from 2010 to 2024, providing an in-depth exploration of HAW. It evaluates trends in publication, dimensions, characteristics, theoretical frameworks, contextual influences, and the research methodologies applied in HAW studies. The results indicate that while research on HAW has gained considerable traction, a significant need remains for further exploration, especially in developing countries. The study identifies several theoretical frameworks, including the job demand-resources model, social exchange theory, and broaden-and-build theory. It also recommends the incorporation of less frequently utilized theories, such as the positive emotion, engagement, relationships, meaning, and accomplishment (PERMA) model, alongside flow theory, for future research initiatives. This review enriches the literature on workplace happiness by providing a thorough analysis and offers valuable insights to inform future research into the factors affecting employee well-being.

Abstract

In Indonesia’s public sector, the Performance Accountability System (SAKIP) is a vital governance mechanism, and its post-COVID-19 concretization necessitates thorough examination, especially at the provincial level. Next move, given that public accountability remains paramount in governance, this study investigates SAKIP’s implementation in West Java, specifically focusing on institutional strengthening and oversight mechanisms. Furthermore, a descriptive qualitative approach was used, whereby secondary data was collected from official documents and media reports to evaluate SAKIP’s effectiveness. Consequently, the analysis reveals that the West Java Provincial Government has demonstrated significant improvements, as evidenced by consistent increases in SAKIP scores from 2019 to 2022, while the integration of robust oversight mechanisms has effectively facilitated meaningful public scrutiny and engagement. Subsequently, several key outcomes emerged, including enhanced institutional performance metrics, successful establishment of transparent oversight mechanisms, and strengthened government-public relationships. Moreover, the implications provide practical insights for policymakers while demonstrating SAKIP’s dual role as both a compliance tool and a catalyst for improved governance.

Abstract

As globalization continues to reshape the landscape of higher education, international student mobility has become increasingly prevalent. In this context, the potential of Indonesian higher education institutions (HEIs) in accommodating Vietnamese students still needs to be explored. This research delves into the prospects of Indonesian higher education for Vietnamese students, examining factors such as academic offerings, a strong cultural affinity between the two countries, language proficiency, and institutional collaborations. Through qualitative analysis of existing policies, student experiences, and academic partnerships, this study sheds light on the untapped opportunities and challenges in fostering educational exchanges between Indonesia and Vietnam. The findings suggest that Indonesian HEIs possess significant potential to attract Vietnamese students, offering diverse academic programs, affordable tuition, and a culturally enriching environment that resonates with Vietnamese students. However, language barriers, administrative hurdles, and limited awareness hinder realizing this potential. It is of utmost importance for policymakers, academic institutions, and stakeholders to urgently implement the recommendations provided in this research, thereby enhancing the accessibility and appeal of Indonesian higher education for Vietnamese students and fostering cross-cultural understanding and educational excellence in the region.

Abstract

Keris is one of the objects of study that is very interesting to study. The research develops a model from the theory of reasoned action using knowledge variables as mediating and moderating variables and subjective norms as moderating variables. This research aims to determine the influence of attitude on purchase intentions, the influence of knowledge as a mediating and moderating variable, and subjective norms as a moderating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach. This research was conducted in Sumenep. The object used in this research is Keris. Two hundred respondents were taken using a purposive sampling method. Hypothesis testing was done using simple linear and hierarchical regression analyses for moderation and mediation tests. The findings of this research show that attitude has a significant effect on knowledge and consumer purchasing intentions. Consumer knowledge also has an important influence on purchase intention. The knowledge variable moderates and mediates the influence of attitude on consumer purchase intention. The subjective norm does not moderate the influence of attitude on purchase intention. This research concludes that attitude notably influences knowledge and intention to make purchases. Knowledge can moderate and mediate the influence of attitude on consumer purchase intentions. The subjective norm variable does not moderate the influence of attitude on purchase intention. This research provides additional studies regarding the TRA theory by adding the knowledge variable as a moderating variable and the subjective norms as moderating variables.

Abstract

Market value estimated by property valuers is essential as it is used for various purposes both in public and private sectors. Hence, the accuracy of market value estimate is of paramount importance. However, valuation involves subjectivity, so it is bound to suffer from errors. This study is aimed at studying such errors. For this purpose, this study uses a market price of a parcel of land in the southern part of Jakarta. This particular area was chosen due to its significant number of property transactions compared to other regions in Jakarta. Government valuers at the Ministry of Finance were invited to provide their value estimate of that property. They were only allowed to use a pre-made worksheet provided by the researchers. This study shows the estimated market value is around 16.9% of the market price. Differences in rank, experience, or neighborhood knowledge have no significant relation to the accuracy of market value estimate. Most participants can demonstrate that their market value estimates are relatively similar, showing low variation between valuers.

Abstract

This study analyzes the formation of the Red and White Cabinet under President Prabowo Subianto through the lens of the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF). It examines whether the cabinet expansion was driven by technocratic considerations or political representation. This research provides insights into Indonesia’s governance structure and policymaking dynamics by exploring the narratives shaping ministerial appointments. This study employs a qualitative approach, utilizing the NPF to analyze policy narratives that influenced the expansion of ministries. Data collection involves document analysis of relevant laws, regulations, academic literature, and credible media reports. This approach systematically examines how political narratives shape institutional decisions and governance strategies. The findings reveal that the expansion of the Red and White Cabinet was primarily influenced by political coalition-building rather than administrative efficiency. Key narratives, such as governance effectiveness, political stability, and national unity, were strategically constructed to justify the increased number of ministries. While some appointments reflect technocratic expertise, many were dictated by political negotiations, highlighting the predominance of partisan interests over governance optimization. This study concludes that policy narratives legitimize political decisions, often surpassing technocratic considerations. The findings contribute to the understanding of political decision-making in Indonesia by demonstrating how institutional constraints, elite bargaining, and strategic policy narratives shape governance structures.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the gaming industry in Southeast Asia has fueled the expansion of digital payment services, where Codashop by PT Coda Payments Indonesia plays a key role in facilitating seamless in-game transactions. Despite its active social media marketing public relations (MPR) efforts, Codashop faces challenges in social media engagement and customer loyalty compared to competitors. This research examines the extent to which MPR influences customer loyalty at Codashop. Through a quantitative correlational approach, data were collected from Codashop Indonesia's Facebook followers, who had completed multiple transactions. The findings indicate a strong positive relationship between MPR activities and customer loyalty. Regression analysis confirms that MPR significantly impacts customer retention, with events and media identity identified as the most influential components. Furthermore, customer advocacy through recommendations emerges as a key driver of loyalty. The study concludes that optimizing MPR strategies can strengthen customer relationships and enhance engagement, providing a competitive edge in the digital gaming industry. These insights emphasize the importance of strategic brand communication to build stronger customer connections. Companies like Codashop can leverage MPR more effectively to maintain loyalty, improve user engagement, and sustain competitive advantage in the evolving gaming market.

Abstract

This study aims to explore implementing BUMDes policies in the Garut Regency, which has not yet been fully effective due to various influencing factors. The research adopts a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was collected through interviews with the DPMD and BUMDes managers in the Garut Regency and analysis of relevant documents. Implementing BUMDes policies in Garut Regency demonstrates varying outcomes, influenced by key factors such as stakeholder communication, resource availability, implementer disposition, and bureaucratic structure. Referring to Edward III's theory, the success of BUMDes policy implementation is shaped by four main variables: (1) Communication, which ensures that policies are well understood and accepted by the village community and BUMDes managers; (2) Resources, including funding, human resources, and infrastructure essential for the sustainability of BUMDes; (3) Disposition (Implementer Attitude), reflecting the commitment of local government, BUMDes managers, and the community in executing policies; and (4) Bureaucratic Structure, involving coordination between agencies and administrative procedures that affect the smooth execution of policies. The research findings reveal that despite challenges such as limited human resources and restricted access to capital, well-managed BUMDes have the potential to strengthen the local economy and reduce dependence on central government assistance. Enhancing communication, building human resource capacity, and streamlining bureaucracy are crucial in accelerating village economic empowerment goals through BUMDes.

Abstract

With the development of information technology, the need for fast information becomes crucial for government attention. The formation of the Community Information Group (KIM) is a solution to increase public knowledge. This study aims to determine and analyze the influence and support of the organization on the performance of the management of the Community Information Group (KIM) in Jember Regency through affective commitment. This study uses descriptive and verification methods with a quantitative approach. The research sample was 168 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques from a total population of 672 KIM managers. Data was collected through questionnaires, observations, documentation, and interviews. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with the WarpPLS 8.0 program. The results showed that the minimum work and organizational support significantly affected KIM members' performance and affective commitment. Work flexibility allows members to manage their time and work methods more efficiently, increasing productivity and emotional commitment to the organization. Organizational support improves performance by providing the necessary resources and strengthening members' emotional ties to common goals. Both factors, both directly and through affective commitment, encourage KIM members to work optimally and effectively. The practical implications of this study emphasize the importance of implementing more adaptive work policies to increase alertness and strengthen organizational support through adequate training, resource provision, and rewards. This will create a supportive and empowering work environment, resulting in members who are not only high performers but also have loyalty and dedication to achieving common goals.
