Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the strategic contribution of visionary leadership and trust to organizational resilience in Indonesian private higher education institutions. Specifically, it investigates the magnitude of influence these factors have on building institutional resilience amidst the VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, Ambiguity) era challenges. Method: Employing a POP-SDM (Resource Strengthening Management) approach, this research utilizes path analysis and SITOREM methods. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and document analysis from private universities across Indonesia. The study focuses on measuring the direct and indirect effects of visionary leadership and trust on organizational resilience. Results: The findings reveal that visionary leadership has a significant positive influence on organizational resilience, with trust serving as a crucial mediating factor. The magnitude of effect demonstrates that institutions with stronger visionary leadership and higher levels of trust exhibit substantially greater resilience capabilities. The integrated model explains a substantial proportion of variance in resilience outcomes, providing empirical evidence for the strategic importance of these factors. Novelty: This research introduces the POP-SDM approach adapted for higher education contexts, offering a comprehensive framework for strengthening organizational resilience. The study contributes to theoretical literature by integrating visionary leadership, trust, and resilience in the specific context of Indonesian private universities facing unique challenges in the VUCA era.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to develop evidence-based strategies for enhancing Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) among public elementary school teachers in Bogor Regency, Indonesia, by examining the roles of servant leadership, stress management, and local wisdom (Sauyunan). Method: Employing the POP-SDM (Modeling and Optimization of Human Resource Strengthening) methodology, this research integrates qualitative exploration with quantitative analysis. Data were collected from public elementary school teachers in Bogor Regency using structured questionnaires. The study applies Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis to examine relationships between servant leadership, stress management, self-efficacy, Sauyunan local wisdom, work ethic, and OCB. The SITOREM method is utilized for intervention strategy development. Results: The findings reveal significant positive relationships between servant leadership and OCB (β = [value], p < 0.001), with stress management serving as a crucial mediating factor. Sauyunan local wisdom demonstrates substantial influence on OCB development, highlighting the importance of cultural context in teacher behavior. Self-efficacy and work ethic also contribute significantly to OCB enhancement. The SITOREM analysis identifies key intervention areas for optimizing OCB improvement strategies. Novelty: This research contributes novel insights by integrating Sundanese local wisdom (Sauyunan) into OCB theoretical frameworks within elementary education contexts. The application of POP-SDM methodology to teacher behavior optimization represents an innovative approach to educational management. The study provides culturally-relevant strategies for enhancing teacher citizenship behavior in Indonesian educational settings.

Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine the contributions of self-efficacy (SE) and perceived social support (PSS) in predicting subjective well-being (SWB) among teachers across early childhood (KB-TK), primary (SD), and lower secondary (SMP) levels at an Islamic educational foundation in Gresik, Indonesia. It addresses the gap in research on teacher well-being across multiple school levels within a single foundation. Method: A quantitative correlational design was applied. From 242 active teachers, 202 respondents were selected via saturated sampling. Data were collected using standardized instruments: Teacher Subjective Well-Being Questionnaire (TSWQ), Teacher Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS). Analyses included descriptive statistics, assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity), and multiple linear regression to assess both simultaneous and partial effects. Results: SE and PSS simultaneously predicted SWB significantly (R = 0.719, R² = 0.516, F(2,199) = 106.2, p < 0.001). Individually, SE (β = 0.526, t = 9.269, p < 0.001) had a stronger effect than PSS (β = 0.293, t = 5.166, p < 0.001). A one-way ANOVA further indicated no significant differences in SWB across educational levels (p > 0.05). The findings suggest that teachers’ SWB remains relatively consistent across school levels. Novelty: This study contributes to the literature by demonstrating that teachers’ subjective well-being is more strongly shaped by internal psychological resources and perceived social support than by differences in educational level. Despite variations in school level, no significant differences in well-being were found, highlighting the role of a shared organizational context in producing relatively uniform well-being across teachers.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to evaluate the longitudinal effectiveness of interactive learning media on academic achievement and learning motivation among elementary school students in rural Indonesia. The research specifically examines how sustained exposure to digital interactive tools influences learning outcomes over one academic year in contexts with limited technological infrastructure. Method: Employing an explanatory sequential mixed-methods design, the study was conducted at SDN 5 Limboto, Gorontalo, involving 120 students (aged 9-11) across experimental and control groups. Quantitative data were collected through standardized achievement tests (pretest, midtest, posttest, follow-up) and a validated motivation scale, analyzed using ANCOVA and repeated-measures ANOVA. Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with six teachers were analyzed thematically to provide contextual insights. Results: Findings indicate that long-term use of interactive media significantly improves students' academic performance (F = 12.43, p < 0.01, η² = 0.34) and motivation scores (F = 9.82, p < 0.05, η² = 0.29). Teachers reported enhanced classroom engagement, increased self-directed learning behaviors, and development of curiosity and confidence among students. Despite infrastructure limitations, interactive media demonstrated adaptability and pedagogical value in rural educational settings. Novelty: This research provides empirical evidence on the sustained effectiveness of technology-mediated learning in rural education contexts, contributing to discussions on digital equity and context-sensitive pedagogy. The study uniquely combines longitudinal quantitative assessment with qualitative teacher perspectives, offering holistic insights into how interactive media can be effectively integrated in resource-constrained environments.

Abstract

Objective: To address the persistent challenges of low engagement and poor outcomes in elementary social studies instruction. This study aimed to develop an Android-based Monopoly game and examine its effects on fourth-grade students’ engagement and learning outcomes regarding Indonesian Cultural Diversity. Method: A Research and Development approach was integrated with a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group pretest–posttest design involving 62 fourth-grade students (experimental: n = 32; control: n = 30) from two public elementary schools in Central Java. Data collected through validated engagement questionnaires and cognitive achievement tests were analyzed using one-way ANCOVA (with pretest as covariate), independent samples t-tests, N-gain, and Cohen’s d. Results: Expert validations confirmed the media’s feasibility as ‘Very Feasible’ (88.02%, ICC = 0.882). ANCOVA results demonstrated that the experimental group achieved significantly higher posttest scores than the control group after controlling for pretest scores (F(1, 59) = 6.12, p = 0.016, η²p = 0.094), supported by a larger N-gain (0.38 vs. 0.29) and a medium effect size (d = 0.58). Furthermore, experimental students reported meaningfully higher behavioral, emotional, and cognitive engagement (d = 0.65). Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence on the synergistic potential of combining gamification mechanics with mobile platforms for culturally specific content. It demonstrates how interactive game-based pedagogy can successfully operationalize the student-centered principles of the Kurikulum Merdeka framework, specifically addressing the lack of technology-enhanced media in the integrated IPAS (Ilmu Pengetahuan Alam dan Sosial) curriculum.
