Abstract

This research examines the impact of employee engagement on the performance of employees within Sasirangan MSMEs in Banjarmasin, with motivation serving as a mediating factor. The results reveal that employee engagement influences performance both directly and indirectly through motivation. High levels of engagement foster a positive connection between employees and the organization, which in turn strengthens their dedication and enhances the quality of their work. Motivation, whether intrinsic or extrinsic, plays a critical role as a mediator, amplifying the effect of employee engagement on performance. These findings are consistent with Social Exchange Theory, which posits that mutually beneficial relationships between employees and organizations lead to improved overall outcomes. From a practical perspective, this study highlights the importance of implementing strategies that enhance employee engagement for MSMEs, particularly Sasirangan MSMEs. Initiatives such as recognizing employee contributions, providing opportunities for personal growth, and cultivating a supportive work environment can significantly boost employee motivation, thereby improving performance. By fostering a culture of engagement, MSMEs can increase both the quantity and quality of work, contributing to greater organizational success and long-term sustainability. These insights enhance the theoretical understanding of employee engagement and offer actionable strategies for MSME managers to optimize performance through a motivated and engaged workforce.

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that requires long-term management through lifestyle modification and adherence to therapy. Health education is an essential intervention to improve patients’ self-efficacy and self-care in supporting lifelong treatment. Good self-efficacy enhances patients’ confidence in managing their condition, while optimal self-care contributes to improved quality of life. This study aimed to determine the effect of education on self-efficacy and self-care among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in the working area of Batujaya Primary Health Center, Karawang. This research employed a quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental method using a one-group pretest–posttest design. The sampling technique used was proportional purposive sampling, involving 32 respondents. The instruments used were the Diabetes Management Self-Efficacy Scale (DMSES) and the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities (SDSCA) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test. The results showed an improvement in self-efficacy and self-care after the educational intervention. Statistical analysis revealed a p-value of 0.000 for self-efficacy and 0.000 for self-care (p 0.05), indicating a significant effect of education on self-efficacy and self-care among patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. It is recommended that primary health centers optimize continuous health education, counseling, and health promotion programs to enhance patients’ ability to manage their condition and improve their quality of life

Abstract

The thesis discusses the strategic financing dilemma of the H3 Segment Hauling Road Project at PT Atlas Resources Tbk, which is considered vital to eliminate dependence on third-party roads. The issue lies in deciding between funding the project using internal resources under Corporate Finance or using external resources through the implementation of Project Finance with a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) scheme in a private-to-private partnership. Accordingly, this research applies the financial valuation and risk analysis, and then compares the results to determine which scenario is better at providing a superior risk-adjusted value to the company.  The study applies a quantitative method, with capital budgeting techniques as the main analytical tool. The analysis is made on the foundation of Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) valuation, which is complemented by sensitivity analysis, scenario analysis, and Monte Carlo simulation. The results confirm the financial feasibility of both scenarios. Corporate Finance scenario gives a higher Net Present Value (NPV) of Rp 1,243 billion and an Internal Rate of Return (IRR) of 48,33%. On the other side, Project Finance (BOT) scenario offers a slightly lower NPV of Rp 1,183 billion, but provides risk isolation by managing construction and operational risks to the SPV.  The research concludes that the Project Finance (BOT) system is the best option. The difference in financial value (about 4,8%) is considered as a trade-off for the benefits of risk segregation at the project level, which enhances the parent company’s financial flexibility and limits its exposure to project-specific risks. It is therefore recommended that PT Atlas Resources Tbk proceed with the BOT model as there should be a properly organized concession agreement on transfer of the assets.

Abstract

This study examines the effectiveness of influencer speakers in paid healthcare webinars by comparing participant perceptions and purchase decisions between webinars featuring influencers and non-influencers at JIH Academy. Using a quantitative survey method, data were collected from 135 webinar participants and analyzed descriptively. The study integrates influencer marketing constructs (attractiveness, expertise, originality, homophily, interaction, and image satisfaction) with training evaluation dimensions (perceived trainer performance, perceived usefulness, and perceived efficiency). The findings indicate that webinars led by influencer speakers are perceived slightly more positively across most variables, particularly in interaction, image satisfaction, and purchase decision. Although the differences between influencer and non-influencer webinars are relatively small, influencer speakers demonstrate a consistent advantage in enhancing participant interest and intention to attend future paid webinars. These results suggest that influencer-based promotion can modestly strengthen both marketing effectiveness and perceived webinar quality in healthcare training services.

Abstract

Digital transformation in the Human Capital Management (HCM) sector has shifted from mere administrative efficiency to an ecosystem centered on the employee experience. PT XYZ, a Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) company, utilizes the MyHC digital platform to bridge the needs of the organization and its employees. However, the main challenge lies in optimizing MyHC to function as an instrument of empowerment, rather than merely a managerial monitoring tool. This study aims to analyze the optimization strategy of the MyHC platform at PT XYZ to realize a Digital Employee-Centric Organization, where the needs and digital experiences of employees become the top priority. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method following the PRISMA protocol, selecting reputable journal articles from the Google Scholar database published within the last three years (2023-2026). The results indicate that platform optimization focuses on four main pillars: (1) improving the accessibility of self-service to reduce bureaucratic barriers, (2) ensuring data transparency to support fairness in career paths and performance evaluations, (3) providing two-way communication channels to strengthen the employee voice, and (4) strengthening the knowledge management ecosystem. In conclusion, the transformation from a transactional system to an empowerment system that embodies employee-centricity requires a strong alignment between data-driven technological capabilities and organizational policies that prioritize human values.
Reinterpreting Abu di Ateh Tunggua: Power Relations and Male Responsibility in the Minangkabau Matrilineal System Rozalvino, Rozalvino; Sunarto, Bambang; Indrasastra, Andar; Sukerta, Pande Made

Abstract

This article examines the concept of Abu di Ateh Tunggua as a relational framework for understanding male position within the Minangkabau matrilineal kinship system. The role of the sumando has frequently been interpreted as a symbol of fragility or marginal status within customary structures. Using a qualitative, literature-based approach and conceptual analysis of customary norms, proverbial expressions, and the sumando typology, this study argues that Abu di Ateh Tunggua functions as an ethical metaphor that signifies responsibility, prudence, and relational awareness rather than structural subordination. In the Minangkabau context, men are not vested with proprietary authority within the wife’s lineage; instead, their legitimacy is grounded in moral obligations toward the nuclear family and the broader kin network. The article further identifies transformations in male roles in response to urbanization, education, and migration, highlighting ongoing negotiations between customary values and contemporary social change. These findings contribute to discussions of masculinity in matrilineal societies by demonstrating that authority may be constructed through social responsibility and collective recognition rather than ownership. The study underscores the importance of interpreting cultural expressions as analytical tools for examining power relations within indigenous kinship systems.

Abstract

This study discusses how screen reader applications help visually impaired people in Bengkulu City in carrying out their daily activities and increasing their independence. The study was conducted qualitatively by involving ten informants who are active members of PERTUNI. They have been using screen readers for at least six months and are accustomed to interacting with this technology in their daily activities. The results show that screen readers not only help them achieve their initial goals of use, such as working, communicating, or accessing social media, but also strengthen social relationships and improve their ability to adapt to technology. Although some informants experienced difficulties at the beginning of use because they had never used a smartphone, they were still able to adapt with the support of their families and environment. In terms of independence, screen readers made the informants more confident in making decisions, managing their personal lives, and carrying out activities without relying heavily on others. Thus, it can be concluded that screen readers are a very useful technology for people with visual impairments because they help them live more independent and empowered lives

Abstract

In South Asia, especially in Pakistan, the majority of the female labour force is engaged in home-based work compared to men. As it is the most convenient form of work for females, due to cultural restrictions, they are not allowed to go outside their homes without a male companion. In Pakistan, female home-based workers make substantial contributions to the national economy through their wages. Despite their significant contribution, they are facing many challenges that hinder their economic participation.  They are deprived of decent work opportunities and all other work benefits received by formal employees and workers. They are engaged in economic activities to improve their socioeconomic status and meet their household needs. The government needs to consider female home-based workers’ huge contribution toward poverty elimination and national GDP, and establish policy measures to address their issues and challenges to increase their economic participation and enhance women’s economic empowerment. The main objective of this study is to analyze issues of Female Home-based Workers, the significance of addressing their needs to make them more effective for the national economy. The study also suggests the required policy parameters to address the challenges of this substantial workforce.
