Abstract

This study aims to identify strengths and weaknesses in oil palm seed marketing, analyze opportunities and threats that influence marketing, and formulate an effective marketing strategy based on a SWOT analysis at PT. Utama Karya Tani. The study was conducted at PT. Utama Karya Tani during March–May using descriptive methods with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation, then analyzed using descriptive analysis and SWOT analysis through the preparation of the Internal Factor Analysis Summary (IFAS), External Factor Analysis Summary (EFAS), and SWOT Matrix. The results show that the company's main strengths include good seed quality, the use of certified seeds, good relationships with customers, and business experience. Meanwhile, the company's weaknesses include limited promotion, suboptimal digital marketing, a limited distribution network, and price competition. From the external side, the main opportunities come from the increasing demand for oil palm seeds, the People's Oil Palm Replanting Program (PSR), developments in information technology, and increasing farmer awareness of the use of superior seeds. Threats faced by the company include competition in the nursery business, fluctuating economic conditions, increasing production costs, and changes in market conditions. The analysis results show an IFAS value of 0.78 and an EFAS value of 0.65, placing PT Utama Karya Tani in Quadrant I (Strength–Opportunity). This position indicates that the company is in a favorable position, so the recommended strategy is an aggressive strategy (SO), which utilizes the company's strengths to seize opportunities through improving product quality, setting competitive prices, expanding distribution networks, and optimizing digital-based promotions.

Abstract

Fertilization is one of the maintenance activities that plays an important role in increasing the productivity of oil palm plants, but it is also the largest cost component in plantation management. The development of mechanization through the use of EMDEK tractors is expected to increase operational efficiency, so a study is needed regarding the cost comparison between manual and mechanical fertilization methods. This study aims to analyze the comparative costs of fertilizing mature plants (TM5) using manual methods and mechanical methods ( EMDEK tractors ) in Division IV of the Kandista PSM 5 Plantation of PT Ivomas Tunggal Regional Siak. The study was conducted from May–August 2026 using a comparative descriptive method. The research sample consisted of six blocks, namely three manual fertilization blocks and three mechanical fertilization blocks. Primary data were obtained through field observations and interviews, while secondary data were obtained from company administrative documents. Data analysis began with the Shapiro–Wilk normality test, then continued with an independent sample t-test at a significance level of 5%. The results of the study showed that the average cost of manual fertilization was Rp2,830,710 per hectare or Rp20,922 per tree , while the average cost of fertilization using an EMDEK tractor was Rp9,636,062 per hectare or Rp71,811 per tree . The largest cost component in the manual method was the cost of purchasing fertilizer, while in the EMDEK method it was dominated by the cost of TRC2 fuel. The results of the normality test showed that the data were normally distributed (p>0.05), thus fulfilling the assumptions for the t -test . The independent sample t-test produced a significance value of 0.004 (p<0.05), which indicated that there was a significant difference in fertilization costs between the manual method and the EMDEK tractor . Thus, the manual fertilization method had lower costs than the mechanical method at the research location.

Abstract

The high turnover rate of healthcare personnel in hospitals has become a major challenge in human resource management, as it can disrupt service continuity, reduce the quality of healthcare services, and increase recruitment and training costs for new employees. Therefore, effective retention strategies are essential to retain competent healthcare professionals and ensure the sustainability of hospital services. This study aims to identify the factors contributing to healthcare workforce turnover and to analyze human resource retention strategies for reducing turnover in hospital settings. The study employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A total of 20 scientific articles, consisting of 10 national and 10 international journals published between 2020 and 2026, were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. The selected studies were analyzed descriptively through the processes of identification, screening, evaluation, and synthesis of research findings. The results indicate that the primary factors contributing to turnover include excessive workload, burnout, inadequate compensation, ineffective leadership, low job satisfaction, organizational culture, work-life balance, employee engagement, and limited career development opportunities. The most frequently recommended retention strategies include fair compensation and reward systems, career development, continuous training, mentoring programs, transformational leadership, strengthened organizational support, a positive work environment, and work-life balance policies. These strategies have been shown to improve job satisfaction, employee loyalty, and organizational commitment, thereby reducing turnover rates. Therefore, retention strategies should be implemented in an integrated and sustainable manner as part of hospital human resource management policies to retain competent healthcare professionals and improve the quality of healthcare services

Abstract

Farmer groups play an important role in increasing the productivity and success of smallholder oil palm farming. However, the effectiveness of farmer groups is greatly influenced by the implementation of management functions, including planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising. This study aims to analyze the influence of management functions on the effectiveness of the Sejahtera Farmer Group in Tapak Meriah Village, Silinda District, Serdang Bedagai Regency. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory research type. The study population consisted of 35 farmer group members, all of whom were sampled using a total sampling technique . Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires, then analyzed using multiple linear regression with the help of IBM SPSS. Before the analysis was carried out, the data had met the classical assumption test, which included normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests. The results showed that partially the variables of planning, organizing, implementing, and supervising had a positive and significant effect on the effectiveness of farmer groups with a significance value of 0.000 (p<0.05) each. Simultaneously, these four variables also significantly influence the effectiveness of farmer groups with an F-value of 29.806 and a significance level of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.773 indicates that 77.3% of the variation in farmer group effectiveness can be explained by management functions, while the remaining 22.7% is influenced by other factors outside the research model. The results of the study indicate that planning is the variable that has the most dominant influence on farmer group effectiveness. Therefore, strengthening the implementation of integrated management functions is needed to increase the institutional effectiveness of oil palm farmer groups.

Abstract

As community-based networks increasingly rely on the internet, providing stable, reliable, and uninterrupted service has become essential. However, public internet hubs like "WiFi Corner" often suffer from network overloads and frequent disruptions due to the limited capacity of local RT/RW Net servers. This bottleneck degrades service quality, spikes latency, and increases the risk of downtime, ultimately disrupting user activities. To address this issue, this study implements a load-balancing technique at WiFi Corner to improve server redundancy and ensure continuous uptime. We utilized the Per Connection Classifier (PCC) method on MikroTik RouterOS, which dynamically distributes traffic based on active connections while providing an automatic failover mechanism if an ISP link drops. To evaluate performance, we compared three distinct scenarios: A single ISP setup, Dual ISPs without load balancing, and Dual ISPs optimized with PCC load balancing and failover. The performance metrics analyzed include throughput, delay, packet loss, jitter, and overall system uptime. The results demonstrate that implementing PCC load balancing successfully doubled the throughput compared to the baseline setup. Additionally, delay and jitter were significantly reduced, and packet loss dropped below 2%. Thanks to the integrated failover mechanism, network uptime reached nearly 100%. Ultimately, this study offers a cost-effective and highly efficient technical solution to boost the reliability and sustainability of community-based RT/RW Net internet services.

Abstract

Urban agglomeration is a spatial phenomenon that reflects the concentration of population, economic activity, and rapidly developing infrastructure in Indonesia’s metropolitan areas. The government has designated ten National Priority Metropolitan Areas (KMPN) in the National Spatial Plan and the National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) for 2020-2024 and 2025-2029 as centers of national economic growth; however, this designation has not been accompanied by an empirical study on its impact on fiscal decentralization as mandated by Law No. 33 of 2004. This study aims to analyze the impact of urban agglomeration on the Degree of Fiscal Decentralization (DDF) in 514 regencies and cities across Indonesia in 2022, both directly and through interactions with metropolitan status. Using an explanatory quantitative approach and a census method, urban agglomeration was measured across four dimensions (social, economic, environmental, and infrastructure) and then analyzed using a t-test, simple linear regression, and interaction regression. The results show that the average DDF for metropolitan areas (27.54%) is significantly higher by 18.22 percentage points than that of non-metropolitan areas (9.31%). All four dimensions of agglomeration have a positive and significant effect on DDF, with the infrastructure dimension being the strongest factor (β = 0.163). The interaction model reveals that metropolitan status alone does not necessarily increase DDF; rather, it is highly dependent on the intensity and quality of agglomeration (interaction β = 0.1795; p < 0.001). These findings recommend intensifying infrastructure development, fostering agglomeration-based economic clusters, strengthening cross-regional metropolitan governance, and establishing a national agglomeration monitoring system to enhance local fiscal autonomy.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of transformational leadership and work environment on employee performance, with organizational commitment as a moderating variable, at Wellness Center Yakes Telkom West Java. The topic is relevant because health-service organizations require consistent, responsive, and service-oriented employee performance. This research adopted a quantitative explanatory design. The population comprised all 80 employees of Wellness Center Yakes Telkom West Java, and the entire population was used as the sample through total sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed through descriptive statistics, validity testing, reliability testing, classical assumption testing, and Moderated Regression Analysis. The findings reveal that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The work environment also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Organizational commitment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The moderation analysis confirms that organizational commitment strengthens the effect of transformational leadership on employee performance and strengthens the effect of the work environment on employee performance. These results indicate that improving employee performance requires an integrated managerial approach that combines transformational leadership, a conducive work environment, and sustained organizational commitment

Abstract

The plastic piping industry depends on a complete portfolio of pipes and fittings to serve infrastructure, clean-water distribution, and industrial applications. PT Sentra Pipa Nusantara (a disguised name) completes part of its fitting portfolio through imported products, including the clamp saddle 63 mm × 1¼" that is currently purchased as a finished good under a third-party Malaysian brand. Although operationally simple, this import-based model limits the company’s control over product cost, brand ownership, and product design, and exposes profitability to supplier price, exchange-rate movement, and landed-cost components. At present the import model yields only about a 20% markup over cost (16.7% gross margin on the net selling price), and management has formally mandated a feasibility study to assess whether in-house production or contract manufacturing of an own-brand product could improve profitability. The study therefore addresses a clear managerial problem: under a constrained selling price, profitability improvement depends on the company’s ability to reduce unit cost and strengthen its sourcing strategy. This study compares three production-strategy alternatives, namely continuing to import, in-house production, and contract manufacturing (an indicative tolling or makloon scenario) and pursues three objectives: to compare the alternatives in terms of unit cost and unit margin against the net selling price; to test the sensitivity of each alternative to selected key cost drivers; and to recommend the most feasible strategy through a weighted multi-criteria feasibility assessment. The analysis proceeds in three connected stages. First, the unit cost of each alternative is built on a common per-acceptable-unit basis: import through a total landed-cost approach, in-house production through manufacturing-cost decomposition with units-of-production tooling allocation, and contract manufacturing through the indicative tolling scenario. Subsequently, the unit margin and margin ratio are then calculated against the actual net selling price. Second, a threshold sensitivity analysis varies five declared cost drivers (resin price, exchange rate, contract-manufacturing fee, reject rate, and tooling investment) one at a time to test the robustness of the ranking. Third, a weighted scoring matrix following the Simple Additive Weighting method integrates three quantitative criteria (comparative cost and margin, sensitivity robustness, and investment or MOQ commitment) and four qualitative criteria (implementation readiness, vendor dependency, market and customer acceptance, and intellectual-property consideration). Primary data were obtained through semi-structured interviews and internal consultations across the relevant functions, while the contract-manufacturing scenario and the reject rate were treated as validated planning assumptions; product quality was treated as a mandatory baseline and the recommendation as decision support rather than a final commercial decision. The results show that in-house production is the most economical and the most profitable route. It carries the lowest unit cost (Rp 19,208 per unit) and the widest unit margin (Rp 21,958, a 114.3% markup over cost), ahead of contract manufacturing (Rp 24,905; Rp 16,261; 65.3%) and import (Rp 34,305; Rp 6,861; 20.0%); both own-brand routes clear the 20% management target, whereas import only meets it at the threshold. This advantage is robust: across all eleven sensitivity scenarios in-house production remains the lowest-cost option and the ordering in-house < contract manufacturing < import is never reversed, with resin price the dominant driver for the own-brand routes and the exchange rate for import. In the weighted assessment, in-house production records the highest validated score (4.60 out of 5.0, against 2.72 for contract manufacturing and 2.46 for import) while staying within the Rp 300 million investment limit. The study therefore recommends a staged transition from import to in-house production of an own-brand clamp saddle, executed through a stage-gate roadmap and escalated to the CEO for the final go or no-go decision, with contract manufacturing retained as a fallback. The contribution of the study is a transparent and replicable evaluation framework — combining unit-cost build-up, threshold sensitivity, and a validated weighted scoring matrix — that can be applied to other imported fittings to support margin-improvement decisions.

Abstract

This study aims to determine students' critical thinking skills based on learning outcomes and analyze the differences between students' critical thinking skills and predetermined standard scores. This study uses a quantitative approach with descriptive analysis methods and hypothesis testing. The sample in this study amounted to 20 students. The research instrument used was a critical thinking skills test. Data analysis was carried out through a normality test using Shapiro-Wilk and a hypothesis test using the Wilcoxon Signed-Rank Test because the data did not meet the normality assumption. The results showed that the average value of students' critical thinking skills was 77.3, with a median value of 80.0 and a standard deviation of 8.66. Descriptively, the students' average score was above the comparison score, which was 75. The results of the normality test showed a significance value of 0.033 <0.05, so the data was declared not normally distributed. Furthermore, the results of the Wilcoxon test showed a significance value of 0.209 >0.05, so there was no significant difference between students' critical thinking skills and the predetermined standard scores. Based on the research results, it can be concluded that students' critical thinking skills are already in the good category descriptively, but the improvements obtained have not shown statistically significant differences. Therefore, the implementation of more active, innovative, and problem-solving-oriented learning strategies is needed to improve students' critical thinking skills.
