Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of the merit system through the mediating role of talent management at the Regional Secretariat of the Riau Islands Province. Specifically, it examines the effects of spiritual motivation, innovative behavior, competence, and work culture on the merit system, both directly and indirectly through talent management. The research employs Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS (SEM-AMOS) to analyze data collected from 160 respondents selected based on the Slovin formula. The findings indicate that spiritual motivation, innovative behavior, and work culture exert a significant positive effect on the merit system, whereas competence demonstrates a positive but statistically insignificant direct effect. All four independent variables significantly influence talent management, which subsequently mediates their relationships with the merit system. The mediation analysis confirms that talent management plays a significant intermediary role, as spiritual motivation, innovative behavior, competence, and work culture each positively and significantly affect the merit system through this mechanism. Additionally, the simultaneous effect of these variables on the merit system via talent management is statistically significant. The coefficient of determination (R²) values demonstrates strong explanatory power, with 0.790 for talent management and 0.886 for the merit system. These results underscore the strategic importance of spiritual motivation, innovative behavior, and work culture in strengthening the merit-based governance of civil servants, particularly when integrated through structured talent management practices. Practically, the study highlights the necessity of embedding cultural and spiritual values, promoting innovation, and enhancing professional competence within public sector human resource management frameworks.

Abstract

Contemporary mission theology has largely privileged New Testament paradigms, often marginalizing the Torah as merely a legal or historical precursor rather than a theological witness to God’s redemptive mission. This study seeks to address that imbalance by examining the Torah as a foundational and coherent articulation of missio Dei within Old Testament theology. The purpose of this research is to demonstrate that the Pentateuch, read in its final canonical form, embodies a consistent missional logic rooted in God’s creative purpose, covenantal initiative, and redemptive engagement with humanity. Employing a qualitative theological method grounded in canonical and narrative analysis, this study analyzes the theological movement of the Torah from creation and fall to promise, election, liberation, law, wilderness formation, and covenant renewal. The findings reveal that mission in the Torah is not expressed primarily through explicit sending commands but through narrative patterns that portray God as the initiating subject of mission and Israel as a covenant people formed for the sake of the nations. Mission emerges as universal in scope, ethical in expression, and formative in process, sustained by divine faithfulness rather than human consistency. The study concludes that the Torah is constitutive, not merely anticipatory, of biblical mission theology and provides the theological framework upon which later canonical developments build. This research contributes to contemporary missiology by offering a canonically grounded Old Testament foundation for understanding Christian mission as participation in God’s redemptive work from creation onward.

Abstract

A growing church requires servants called shepherds who carry out their ministry to the congregation. The pastor plays an important role in carrying out leadership as a leader given by God and someone who is called to be a shepherd. In carrying out his ministry, various problems often arise in the congregation. The purpose of writing this scientific paper is the importance of understanding the pastoral ministry in the letters I, II Timothy and Titus as well as pastoral in the church, and finding its relevance for pastoral ministry in the church today. The research method is Library Research in the form of an exposition of Paul's Letters to Timothy and Titus and a field research method through the distribution of questionnaires to 250 members of the congregation at the Bethel Indonesia Taman Modern Church as respondents. The writing limitation refers to pastoral leadership according to letters I, II Timothy and Titus. The results of this study state that the three hypotheses are not proven true, the study shows that 86.19% of respondents agree with the contents of the questionnaire, where the understanding of church members regarding pastoral ministry in letters I, II Timothy and Titus is low, while the level of pastoral service in the church is also low, and the level of relevance of pastoral service in letters I, II Timothy and Titus for pastoral service in the church today is low.

Abstract

Daniel 12:1-2 contains important prophecies concerning the resurrection of the dead and the great tribulation at the end of the age. A proper understanding of this passage contributes significantly to the development of eschatological doctrine in both Jewish and Christian traditions. This study aims to examine the theological concepts of resurrection and the great tribulation in Daniel 12:1-2 and to evaluate their practical application for believers preparing for the second coming of Christ. The research method used is a qualitative approach, utilizing biblical textual analysis, a theological literature review, and interviews with respondents from the Christian community. The results found that Daniel 12:1-2 presents a strong eschatological framework concerning the separation of the righteous from the wicked through the resurrection, while also warning of the coming of the great tribulation as a marker of the end times. The Book of Daniel provides a fundamental foundation for eschatological theology. Reflection on Daniel 12:1-2 encourages believers to pursue spiritual readiness, live in holiness, and strengthen their hope for the second coming of Christ.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) mechanisms, represented by the board of commissioners, board of directors, and audit committee, on financial performance, as well as to examine the role of company size as a moderating variable. This is a quantitative study using secondary data from transportation and logistics companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2019-2024. The study population consisted of 38 companies, with a sample of 138 observations determined using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression and MRA. The results show that the board of directors has a positive and significant influence on financial performance. Meanwhile, the board of commissioners and audit committee have no direct influence. The moderation test shows that company size can strengthen the influence of the board of commissioners and audit committee on financial performance, but does not moderate the relationship between the board of directors and financial performance.

Abstract

Synonymy is a universal linguistic phenomenon found in every language. However, synonyms in each language have their own unique characteristics. This article focuses more intensively on the types of synonyms, their semantic features, and which type of synonymy is most dominant in Lio. Synonyms represent two or more linguistic units that differ phonologically and morphologically but have semantically similar meanings. Data were collected through observation, listening, and speaking, using listening and speaking techniques, as basic techniques, and recording and note-taking as advanced techniques. The results of the data analysis prove that absolute synonyms are rarely found in Lio, while the most dominant type of synonyms are partial synonyms with various interesting semantic features. Synonyms not only represent lexical variations but also have distinctive distinguishing features because they are highly determined by the situation, context, and socio-cultural background. The use of synonyms reflects the speaker's sensitivity to social situations, relationships between speakers, and the intensity of the emotions they wish to convey. The choice of appropriate synonymous words indicates the level of politeness, closeness, and even firmness of attitude in the Lio tradition.
