Abstract

Gastronomic tourism has rapidly developed as a subsector of tourism that not only offers culinary experiences but also represents local cultural iden- tity. However, gastronomic entrepreneurs face complex challenges ranging from intense competition to external pressures, which affect their well-being. This study aimed to develop a well-being model based on the eudaimonic di- mension for gastronomic tourism entrepreneurs through a case study of Hardadi, the owner of Singkong Keju D-9 in Salatiga. The research employed a qualitative approach with phenomenological methods, using in-depth inter- views, participatory observation, and documentation, analyzed through the- matic analysis with the support of NVivo software. The findings revealed nine core components of eudaimonic well-being: generosity, sincerity, self- introspection, spirituality, inner peace, usefulness to others, gratitude, humil- ity, and optimism. These components demonstrate that entrepreneurs’ well- being is not solely determined by economic factors but also by life meaning, social relationships, and spiritual values. The conceptual model developed in this study shows that eudaimonic well-being functions in two ways: as an out- come of entrepreneurial activity and as psychological capital to face business challenges. The findings provide practical implications for entrepreneurs in in- tegrating meaningful well-being into business practices, academics in enriching studies on the relationship between well-being and entrepreneurship, and poli- cymakers in designing programs that support the sustainability of gastronomic tourism in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze and determine how the implementation of digitalization of the financial administration system can affect the effectiveness of the finance and asset treasury sections of the finance department. It also aims to identify specific areas that indicate inefficiency, potential errors, and bottlenecks in the workflow. It also aims to formulate recommendations for improvements that can be implemented to improve performance. The research method used is a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data collection was conducted through employee interviews, direct observation of operational workflows, and document analysis related to procedures and financial reports. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that digitalization has had a very positive and significant impact on improving the effectiveness of the finance department. By implementing this digital system, the company not only automates routine and manual tasks but also fundamentally transforms its work methods and control mechanisms. Key findings supporting this conclusion include the existence of work processes that can be combined with previous processes, there are work processes that can be eliminated to increase effectiveness in terms of time and costs, the implementation of an automation-based financial administration system has great potential to improve operational performance and data accuracy. Adopting a designed automation solution can create a more efficient, accurate, and responsive financial administration system to business needs.

Abstract

A This study aims to develop and validate a measurement instrument based on Goodman’s (2022) theory. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing 22 developed items of toxic positivity to verify the three aspects according to Whitney Goodman’s theory. The research sample consisted of 205 participants. The sampling technique used was convenience sampling, categorized under non-probability sampling. Data analysis involved several tests, including content validity using Aiken’s V, prerequisite testing via KMO and Bartlett’s tests, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and reliability testing using Cronbach’s Alpha. The Aiken’s V analysis, involving 6 raters and a 5-point scale, yielded a value of 0.77. The results of the data feasibility test using Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) showed a value of 0.780, which falls within the "fairly good" category. The EFA revealed a consistent three-factor structure: Invalidation of Emotion, Shame Disguised, and Denial. Furthermore, the Cronbach’s Alpha reliability test yielded a coefficient of 0.791, indicating that the instrument possesses good internal consistency and is suitable for use. Consequently, 11 items were identified as valid for measuring toxic positivity. This scale is an appropriate instrument for measuring toxic positivity behavioral tendencies. The implication of this study is the availability of a validated psychological measurement tool to identify patterns of toxic positivity.

Abstract

The 2024 Indonesian Presidential Election demonstrated the imbalance in political communication power between the three candidate pairs: Prabowo–Gibran (PRAGIB), Anies–Muhaimin (AMIN), and Ganjar–Mahfud (GAMA). This imbalance is evident in each pair's ability to leverage voter behavior through three models: the bandwagon effect, expected utility, and simple candidate preference as proposed by Abramowitz (1989). This study aims to compare the political communication power of the three candidate pairs in implementing these three models of voter behavior in the 2024 Presidential Election. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with a focus on the political communication strategies of the three candidate pairs. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with two key informants involved in national political surveys and campaign political communications. Analysis was conducted using comparative analysis techniques to identify patterns of intensity and effectiveness of each pair's communication strategies. The results show that PRAGIB is the most dominant pair in the three models of voter behavior. They succeeded in maximizing the bandwagon effect through mass mobilization, media support, and digital campaigns. In the expected utility model, PRAGIB stands out through concrete program promises that are easily understood by the public. In simple candidate preference, Prabowo's personal image and Gibran's association with President Jokowi generated a simple but highly effective preference. AMIN held a middle ground, with strength in the urban-educated segment but limited grassroots reach. GAMA held the weakest position in all three models due to its inconsistent narrative, image, and mobilization strategy. This research confirms that the dominance of political communication was a key factor in PRAGIB's electoral success in the 2024 presidential election.

Abstract

This paper focuses on the occurrence of low back pain due to prolonged sitting in a chair. This paper is designed descriptively. Data is then collected from various ergonomics experts and research, and the analysis also uses descriptive methods. In conclusion, an ergonomic chair must have a backrest, a chair that can be adjusted up and down, have five wheelchair legs, a chair with stable armrests or elbow rests, a chair with a stable footrest, and a rest after sitting for 30 to 60 minutes. The chair must be able to be used loosely or freely. Using an ergonomic chair will prevent low back pain. It is recommended that factories that employ workers or whose work involves sitting in chairs use ergonomic chairs to avoid low back pain.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of responsible leadership, organizational culture, and workload on employee performance, with intrinsic motivation serving as a mediating variable. The research was conducted at PT Yodya Karya (Persero), a state-owned enterprise operating in the construction consulting sector, using a census (saturated) sampling method that produced 250 valid responses. Employing a quantitative, cross-sectional design, data were collected through validated questionnaires and analyzed with Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that responsible leadership, organizational culture, and workload have positive and significant effects on intrinsic motivation, while these variables—together with intrinsic motivation—positively and significantly influence employee performance. Furthermore, intrinsic motivation significantly mediates the relationships between responsible leadership, organizational culture, and workload, and employee performance. These results provide empirical evidence that strengthening responsible leadership practices, fostering a supportive organizational culture, and maintaining proportional workload are critical strategies for sustaining intrinsic motivation and enhancing employee performance in state-owned construction consulting enterprises.

Abstract

The National Democratic Party (NasDem) emerged by promoting the “Restoration of Indonesia” movement, an idea intended to revive the spirit of nationalism as envisioned in the 1945 Proclamation of Independence. The slogan “Restoration of Indonesia” distinguishes NasDem from other political parties; however, more than a decade later, tangible improvements in national and political conditions remain limited. The restoration concept has not been fully institutionalized within the party’s internal structure, creating a gap between political discourse and practical implementation. This study examines how NasDem’s symbolic cues communicate the idea of restoration, the fantasy themes that emerge in this communication, and how symbolic convergence occurs between party elites and constituents. It also analyzes the extent to which a communication model based on symbolic convergence and fantasy themes strengthens party brand identity. Grounded in Symbolic Convergence Theory (SCT) and Fantasy Theme Analysis (FTA) developed by Ernest G. Bormann, and reinforced by Kevin Lane Keller’s branding theory, this research adopts a post-positivist paradigm with a qualitative explanatory approach. Data were collected through online literature review, observation, expert interviews, and focus group discussions. The findings show that fantasy themes and symbolic cues are strategically used to communicate the “Restoration of Indonesia” narrative. Symbolic convergence occurs through restorative communication mechanisms aimed at building shared understanding between party elites and constituents. This communication model contributes significantly to strengthening brand identity. However, the study also reveals that inconsistencies between fantasy narratives and internal political practices may undermine the credibility and sustainability of the party’s brand identity
