Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of organizational competence and culture on organizational performance, with employee engagement as a moderating variable. The background emphasizes improving human resources and organizational culture to enhance performance in public institutions, particularly government agencies. Employing a quantitative approach with moderated regression analysis (MRA) via STATA, the study used a saturated sample of 76 respondents. Results show organizational competencies and culture positively and significantly affect employee engagement, which in turn significantly influences organizational performance. However, employee engagement did not significantly moderate the relationship between competencies, organizational culture, and organizational performance. The model explained over 60% of organizational performance variation, indicated by high R-squared values. This study offers novel empirical evidence that employee engagement acts as a mediator, not moderator, in the competence-culture-performance link within Indonesian public sectors—challenging private sector assumptions. Findings urge government agencies to prioritize employee engagement development as a mediating pathway for translating competence and culture investments into performance gains, informing effective human resource strategies for bureaucratic reform.

Abstract

The Rajut Asa Program is a community-based empowerment program aimed at improving the psychosocial well-being and cognitive health of the elderly while simultaneously engaging youth through intergenerational collaboration. Implemented in RW 01, Bidara Cina Village, East Jakarta, the program involved 16 elderly women and 4 Karang Taruna youth members. This initiative integrates three main components: craft-based therapy, intergenerational interaction, and local economic empowerment. The program's effectiveness was evaluated using a mixed-methods approach that combined pretest-posttest quantitative assessments with qualitative observations. The results showed significant improvements in the elderly participants' self-confidence, social support, and cognitive engagement, with an effect size of . The youth also demonstrated substantial increases in intergenerational empathy and leadership readiness, with an effect size of . Overall, the program effectively enhanced participants' cognitive activity, social involvement, and fine motor skills while laying the foundation for a sustainable creative economy model. This study contributes a novel holistic integration of therapeutic intervention, intergenerational collaboration, and creative economy development within a single community program. The findings hold significant public health policy relevance by demonstrating that low-cost, community-asset-based interventions can effectively address the escalating dementia crisis in resource-constrained settings. They offer scalable alternatives to expensive clinical interventions and contribute evidence for age-friendly community development strategies aligned with WHO guidelines on dementia risk reduction. This low-cost, asset-based program design—utilizing local skills and community assets—can be replicated in similar urban communities to promote elderly well-being and intergenerational cohesion.

Abstract

This research focuses on the materiality of street art and its contribution to shaping public spaces and representing the social identity of urban communities. In contemporary urban landscapes, street art practices reflect the complexity of social, political, and cultural dynamics, where material elements—such as paint, wall planes, and urban spatial textures—are not positioned solely as visual mediums but rather as entities that play an active role in shaping spatial meaning and experience. This study utilized a qualitative approach through the narrative literature review method, accompanied by thematic analysis of various scientific sources that examine the relationship between urban art, materiality, and social space. The findings show that street art has a dual function as both aesthetic and social practice; it presents a space for dialogue and resistance to symbolic domination in urban spatial planning while strengthening collective identity through participatory interaction between human subjects and material objects. The results confirm that materiality in street art contains agency that can reconfigure the relationship between art, space, and urban society. The contribution lies in integrating materiality theory, public space concepts, and participatory aesthetics to build a comprehensive understanding of street art as a social-material phenomenon. Thus, this study enriches theoretical discourse and practices in urban art studies while encouraging the formulation of urban policies that are more inclusive of participatory public art practices

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the extent to which the Community Development and Empowerment Program (PPM) implemented by PT. Golden Great Borneo (GGB) in 2024 aligns with the actual needs of communities in the Ring 1 area, specifically Prabumenang and Banjarsari Villages, East Merapi District, Lahat Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research combines analysis of official program documents and field observations with a structured Likert-scale survey involving 40 purposively selected beneficiaries. The study assesses eight core domains mandated in PPM guidelines: education, health, real income, economic independence, socio-religious-cultural aspects, environment, community institutions, and infrastructure. Findings show that the program received moderate appreciation from the community, with average perception scores ranging from 3.5 to 3.7. While education, health, and infrastructure were positively valued, key issues remain in benefit equity, long-term sustainability, and participatory implementation. The study contributes a novel, integrative assessment model combining community perception data with program alignment analysis. It concludes that future PPM efforts should adopt a more impact-oriented, community-driven approach, particularly by strengthening environmental programs, preventive health initiatives, post-training support, and local institutional capacity to ensure sustainable development in mining-affected regions.

Abstract

This study aims to identify the environmental impacts arising from the electricity generation process at PT. X and to determine alternative mitigation scenarios that can be applied to reduce these environmental impacts. Using the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach, the study successfully identified the Cooling Tower as the main hotspot in the generation process, with emissions such as CO?, H?S, NH?, and NO? contributing to global warming potential, acidification potential, eutrophication potential, and human toxicity. Based on the analysis using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), the most effective mitigation alternative to reduce environmental impacts is the use of High Performance Lubricant (HPL) for the Fan Cooling Tower (FCT) system. The use of HPL received the highest priority, with a weight of 46.9% of the total decision, as it can reduce friction and heat, leading to improved energy efficiency and reduced motor power consumption. This research contributes to the development of mitigation strategies that can be applied to achieve a more sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly geothermal power plant, while also supporting Indonesia's energy transition.

Abstract

The dynamic organizational environment demands that public institutions continuously adapt and improve performance. This study aims to analyze the influence of change-oriented leadership and employee adaptability on employee performance, with readiness for change as a mediating variable in the context of organizational restructuring at the Financial Education and Training Agency (Badan Pembinaan Pegawai Keuangan or BPPK). The study uses a quantitative approach with an online survey method targeting BPPK civil servants (pegawai negeri sipil or PNS) who have worked for at least one year. A total of 146 valid questionnaires were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), including tests of the measurement model, structural model, and descriptive analysis. The results show that change-oriented leadership and employee adaptability have significant effects on readiness for change, and readiness for change has a significant effect on employee performance. In addition, readiness for change fully mediates the relationship between change-oriented leadership and employee performance and partially mediates the relationship between employee adaptability and employee performance. These findings confirm that improvements in employee performance during organizational change depend on the organization's ability to build employee readiness for change. Practically, the results of this research are expected to serve as the basis for BPPK policy-making in supporting adaptive and sustainable organizational restructuring.

Abstract

This paper is to evaluate the use of the Hospital Information System (SIMRS) at Hospital X which has been used so far. The aim of this research is to examine the influence of system quality, information quality, service quality, usage and user satisfaction on net benefits. Researchers use the DeLone and McLean method because this model is known as a simple model but is considered quite valid by researchers in measuring an information system. This research was conducted on the population of Hospital X staff who used SIMRS using a questionnaire. The research results show that system quality has no effect on usage. Then system quality affects user satisfaction. The results of this research also show that information quality and service quality jointly influence user usage and satisfaction. Additionally, usage and user satisfaction influence net benefits. As a mediator of use and user satisfaction, it also influences system quality, information quality and service quality on net benefits. It is hoped that the results of this research can be a reference for developing the potential of SIMRS to be even better and provide information regarding the factors that influence the quality of SIMRS at Hospital X.
