Abstract

Background: Although digital tax administration has improved public revenue management, little is known about how indigenous cultural values shape persuasive communication in e-government. Methods: This study adopted an interpretive qualitative case study at the Badung Regency Revenue Agency, Indonesia. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving government officials and taxpayers from corporate, individual, and MSME sectors. Findings: The analysis shows that E-Palapa combines central and peripheral persuasion processes that are reinforced by Tri Hita Karana, Tat Tvam Asi, and Menyama Braya. It also reveals User-Initiated Blended-Channel Communication and persuasion-induced financial harm among financially vulnerable MSMEs, highlighting the diverse consequences of digital persuasive communication. Conclusion: The integration of indigenous values enriches persuasive digital tax communication by strengthening trust, voluntary compliance, and citizen engagement. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study introduces the Local Value-based Digital Persuasive Communication (LV-DPC) Model, providing a culturally grounded framework that extends persuasive communication theory within digital taxation and e-government.

Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in education has grown rapidly due to its potential to support more adaptive learning experiences. However, its effectiveness in improving students’ learning outcomes still requires further investigation, particularly when associated with students’ creativity. This study aims to analyze the effects of AI-based learning media and creativity on learning outcomes in the Economic Learning Evaluation course. The study employed a quantitative method with a quasi-experimental approach using a 2×2 factorial design. The population consisted of 90 fifth-semester students in the Economic Education Study Program, with a sample of 60 students selected through cluster random sampling. Data were collected using creativity instruments and learning outcome tests that met validity and reliability requirements. Data analysis was conducted using two-way ANOVA to examine the main effects and interaction effects among the variables. The results indicate that AI-based learning media do not have a significant effect on learning outcomes, whereas creativity has a positive effect. Furthermore, a significant interaction effect was found between learning media and creativity on learning outcomes. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of AI utilization in learning depends on students’ creativity as a supporting internal factor. This study contributes to the development of AI-based learning models integrated with student creativity and provides implications for the ethical use of AI without neglecting cognitive development and critical thinking skills.

Abstract

As businesses increasingly compete for the attention of Generation Z consumers in digital marketplaces, understanding whether purchasing decisions are driven more by social influence or promotional incentives has become a critical issue for developing effective marketing strategies. Although influencer marketing and flash sale discount programs are widely used in e-commerce, previous studies have predominantly examined these strategies separately, providing limited evidence regarding their relative association with Generation Z consumers’ purchasing decisions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between influencer marketing and flash sale discount programs and the purchasing decisions of Generation Z consumers in the digital era. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method involving 192 students from the Faculty of Economics and Business at Mitra Bangsa University, selected through random sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS. The results indicate that influencer marketing has a path coefficient of 0.361 on Generation Z purchasing decisions, while flash sale discount programs have a path coefficient of 0.592. These findings demonstrate positive relationships between both variables and purchasing decisions, with the relationship between flash sale discount programs and purchasing decisions being relatively stronger than that of influencer marketing. This study contributes to expanding the understanding of factors associated with Generation Z consumers’ purchasing decisions by integrating influencer marketing and flash sale discount programs into a single research model.

Abstract

Volunteer participation has become an important element in local development implementation, especially in regions where public service delivery faces geographical, institutional, and social constraints. In areas with dispersed communities, limited service capacity, and recurring health and disaster-related pressures, volunteers and community facilitators often support the implementation of government programs at the community level. This study examines how media visibility represents volunteer participation in local government development implementation in West Papua. Using media-based content analysis, this study mapped 55 publicly indexed news reports published in 2024–2025 based on volunteer role, location, period, source, and search query. The findings show that reported volunteer activities were concentrated in hub areas, particularly Sorong and Manokwari. Health-related activities, especially blood donation, dominated public reporting, while education, social support, and environmental activities received less attention. The media also tended to frame volunteering as institution-led and programmatic service rather than community-based mutual aid. These findings indicate that media visibility may create representational bias by privileging accessible locations, formal institutions, and standardized activities. This bias can affect how volunteer contributions are recognized in local development policy and may reduce attention to less visible community-based initiatives. The study contributes a repeatable media-based approach for identifying visibility bias in volunteer reporting and provides empirical insight for improving equity-oriented development implementation in geographically dispersed regions.

Abstract

The rapid development of generative artificial intelligence (AI) has transformed digital creative practices, enabling users to produce visual content through AI-assisted design platforms. However, limited research has explored how everyday users experience collaboration with AI tools in creative production, particularly in relation to maintaining digital agency and creative control. This study aims to explore women’s lived experiences in interacting with Canva AI during visual content production and to understand how collaborative intelligence and digital agency emerge in AI-assisted creative practices. The study employed a qualitative approach using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). Data were collected through in-depth interviews with seven women who actively use Canva AI in their digital content production activities. The analysis identified four key experiential dimensions: reflexive agency, collaborative intelligence, ethical and cultural filtering, and digital empowerment. Participants treated AI-generated visuals as preliminary materials requiring human interpretation, refinement, and contextual judgment before publication. Canva AI was perceived as a co-creative partner that accelerated idea generation while preserving human control over the final design decisions. The findings suggest that collaborative intelligence in AI-assisted creativity functions as a partnership between human interpretation and technological support, where human agency remains central in shaping digital communication practices.

Abstract

Teachers’ achievement motivation is a critical factor influencing educational quality and teacher performance. Although previous studies have examined leadership, teacher motivation, and work-life balance independently, limited research has explored the mechanism through which visionary leadership influences teachers’ achievement motivation, particularly within vocational education settings. This study investigates the association between visionary leadership and teachers’ achievement motivation, with work-life balance as a mediating variable among private vocational school teachers in Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted involving 127 mathematics teachers selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. Data were collected using Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using multiple regression and path analysis. The results revealed that visionary leadership was positively associated with teachers’ achievement motivation (β = 0.553, p < .001) and work-life balance (β = 0.496, p < .001). Work-life balance was also positively associated with achievement motivation (β = 0.618, p < .001). Furthermore, the findings indicated that work-life balance mediated the relationship between visionary leadership and teachers’ achievement motivation. These findings suggest that visionary leadership is associated not only with higher teacher motivation but also with more balanced professional and personal lives among teachers. The study contributes to educational management literature by integrating leadership and well-being perspectives into a unified framework for explaining teacher motivation and highlights the importance of supporting teachers’ work-life balance to foster achievement motivation in vocational education contexts.

Abstract

The freezing of inactive bank accounts by Indonesia's Financial Transaction Reports and Analysis Center (Pusat Pelaporan dan Analisis Transaksi Keuangan, PPATK), the country's Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU), has generated significant legal debate due to the tension between preventive anti-money laundering measures and the protection of individual property rights. However, little attention has been paid to how Civil Law and Sharia Economic Law can be harmonized to assess the legitimacy and justice of account-freezing policies. This study aims to analyze the legal mechanism governing PPATK's account-freezing authority and evaluate its implications for the protection of property rights from the perspectives of Civil Law and Sharia Economic Law. Using a normative juridical approach, the study examines Indonesia's Anti-Money Laundering Law, the Indonesian Civil Code, and classical Islamic jurisprudential sources through statutory, conceptual, and comparative legal analyses. The findings reveal two complementary dimensions of legal protection. From the perspective of Civil Law, account freezing constitutes a legitimate preventive administrative measure only when it is implemented within a clear legal framework, supported by due process, transparent procedures, and reasonable time limitations that prevent disproportionate interference with ownership rights. From the perspective of Sharia Economic Law, the policy is justified by the principles of maslahah (public interest) and la darar wa la dirar (the prohibition of harm), as it seeks to preserve the integrity of the financial system while protecting lawful ownership from illicit financial activities. The analysis further demonstrates that substantive justice can be realized only when preventive state authority is exercised transparently, proportionately, and with effective legal remedies that enable account holders to recover legitimate access to their assets. This study contributes to the development of legal scholarship by proposing a proportionality-based framework that harmonizes Civil Law and Sharia Economic Law in balancing financial security objectives with the protection of individual property rights. The proposed framework extends existing legal discourse by offering a normative model for strengthening legal certainty, accountability, and substantive justice in Indonesia's financial regulatory system.

Abstract

Migrant adolescents in school settings often face emotional, social, and academic challenges related to adaptation and future uncertainty. This study examines how an ecological school-based group counselling program implemented at Sekolah Indonesia Kota Kinabalu, Malaysia, contributes to participants’ reported experiences of resilience and adaptive coping among migrant adolescents. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study involved 25 migrant students aged 15–17 years who were purposively selected based on indications of emotional, academic, and psychosocial difficulties identified during the school needs assessment process.  The intervention consisted of a single counselling session deliveres concurrently to four parallel groups of students. Data were collected through session documentation, facilitator observations, and student reflective notes, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings revealed three main themes: (1) emotional regulation and expression, where students developed greater awareness and control over their emotions; (2) peer connectedness and social support, reflected in reduced feelings of isolation and increased sense of belonging; and (3) future orientation and adaptive coping, indicated by improved problem-solving skills and more constructive perspectives toward life challenges. These findings suggest positive changes in participants’ psychosocial well-being, particularly in emotional stability, social connectedness, and adaptive coping. The novelty of this study lies in its application of an ecological group counselling framework within a migrant school context, integrating individual, peer, and systemic dimensions of intervention, which remains underexplored in previous research predominantly focused on individual counselling approaches. Future implementation should focus on developing standardized ecological group counselling modules, strengthening teacher capacity in psychosocial support, and scaling up school-based mental health programs through policy integration to better serve migrant student populations.

Abstract

Digital transformation has become central to improving public service quality, yet evidence on how mobile government applications perform in remote and infrastructure-constrained regions remains limited. This study evaluates the implementation of E-PACE Mobile, a front-end application integrated with the SiCANTIK Cloud ecosystem, at the West Papua Province Investment and One-Stop Integrated Service Agency (DPMPTSP), and assesses its contribution to improving the quality of non-business licensing services in line with SDG 16. A single embedded qualitative case study design was employed, with four sub-units of analysis (application features, institutional framework, infrastructure, and users), supported by document analysis as the primary data collection technique. Primary textual data were obtained from institutional documents of the DPMPTSP, evaluation reports of the Indonesian Ombudsman (2022–2025), documentation of the E-PACE Mobile system, and official statistical data of the BPS, and analyzed using a hybrid deductive–inductive thematic approach framed by the E-GovQual dimensions and the Technology–Organisation–Environment (TOE) framework. The findings indicate that E-PACE Mobile enhances service efficiency through its Digital Approval feature and strengthens transparency via cryptography-based QR code permit verification. However, service reliability is constrained by rural internet access, which stands at only 55.75%. Citizen support remains the weakest dimension due to the absence of an integrated helpdesk, and the organisational capacity paradox (strong political commitment coupled with technical staff limitations) restricts scalability. This study makes three theoretical contributions: (1) the addition of territorial logistical efficiency as a new E-GovQual metric relevant to island and mountainous regions, (2) the proposal of a cultural sub-dimension within the TOE Environment component, and (3) the formalisation of the organisational capacity paradox as a structural pattern of e-government in Indonesia’s 3T regions. In practical terms, the expansion of E-PACE Mobile should be approached sequentially, beginning with the reinforcement of 4G telecommunications infrastructure in districts classified as 'red zones', followed by the integration of WhatsApp/SMS-based help desks and community-based digital ambassador programmes. This approach will ensure that the implementation of E-PACE Mobile does not exacerbate existing service inequalities.

Abstract

Generation Z is a cohort of young people raised in the digital era, with social media playing a significant role in their social interactions and information consumption. This proximity creates opportunities for self-development, but also poses challenges in the form of exposure to unverified information, social pressure, identity formation in online spaces, and shifting patterns of social relationships. This Community Service (PkM) activity aims to facilitate students’ reflective awareness of life goals, career plans, social media literacy, and healthy social relationships through social conversation techniques. The activity was conducted at the Indonesian School of Kota Kinabalu (SIKK), Sabah, Malaysia, involving 30 students aged 15–17 years and 8 facilitators over 120 minutes. A participatory method was used through small group discussions, reflective questions, and open dialogue. The implementation of the social conversation approach provided a dialogic, safe, and participatory atmosphere that facilitated students’ critical reflection on their digital experiences. Students demonstrated emerging awareness of digital footprints, information verification, the relationship between social media and identity formation, and the psychosocial impact of social media use. These findings suggest that social media literacy is more meaningfully developed through a contextual, dialogic, and experience-based approach, rather than a one-way delivery of material. This social conversation model offers a replicable reference for community service practices aimed at strengthening digital literacy among Gen Z youth.
