Abstract

Performance integrity of correctional officers in Indonesia has received increasing attention amid growing demands for professionalism and transparency, as well as various reports of procedural violations. This situation underscores the need to examine internal factors influencing integrity, particularly work competence, work discipline, and the role of transformational leadership. This study aims to investigate the relationships between work competence and work discipline on the performance integrity of correctional officers in Indonesia, assess the moderating effect of transformational leadership, and identify which factors most significantly impact integrity within correctional institutions. A quantitative approach was employed through a survey of 351 active correctional officers from various institutions across Indonesia, with data analyzed using PLS-SEM version 4.0.9.9. The findings indicate that work competence has a strong and significant effect on performance integrity, whereas work discipline and transformational leadership do not have significant effects, either directly or as moderators. These results emphasize that enhancing technical and functional competencies is key to improving integrity. This study is limited to quantitative analysis and does not encompass qualitative aspects, such as organizational culture, moral values, or interpersonal dynamics. Practically and theoretically, this research contributes to human resource management in correctional institutions by providing evidence-based insights and serving as a policy reference for implementing competency-focused strategies to strengthen officer integrity. The novelty of this study lies in its emphasis on individual capability as a more influential factor on integrity than structural mechanisms such as discipline or leadership style, challenging the common assumption that administrative discipline or leadership alone can foster integrity.

Abstract

The development of financial technology (fintech) in Indonesia has increased significantly over the past two decades, expanding access to digital financial services, including payments, financing, and investment. Amid this trend, Islamic fintech has emerged as an alternative that operates in accordance with Sharia principles, such as the prohibition of riba (interest), gharar (uncertainty), and maisir (gambling). However, its implementation continues to face challenges in regulatory, operational, technological, financial, and human resource aspects. This study aims to identify the main problems facing Islamic fintech in Indonesia and to formulate development strategies from regulatory, operational, technological, financial, and human resource perspectives. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with informants, including industry practitioners, regulators, and academics, focus group discussions (FGDs), document analysis, and field observations. Semi-structured interviews were conducted to obtain in-depth insights. Data analysis employed thematic analysis and content analysis, with triangulation used to ensure the credibility of the findings. The results reveal several key issues, including the absence of optimal and specific regulations for Islamic fintech, low levels of digital Islamic financial literacy, limited technology-based supervision, and challenges in integrating technology with the existing Islamic financial ecosystem. Financial challenges are also prominent, particularly the risk of default in Sharia-compliant peer-to-peer (P2P) lending services and limited funding sources. The implications of this study highlight the importance of strengthening regulatory frameworks, enhancing Islamic financial literacy, utilizing big data and artificial intelligence for Sharia-compliant credit scoring, and developing integrated human resources to strengthen the inclusion and competitiveness of Islamic fintech in Indonesia.

Abstract

A conducive learning environment is a key determinant of educational success, particularly at the junior secondary school level, where students require not only cognitive stimulation but also physical and emotional support. This study aims to address facility-related challenges at SMPN 1 Warureja, Tegal Regency, where the absence of comfortable rest areas, limited creativity spaces, and inefficient spatial layout have hindered student comfort and engagement. Employing the Design Thinking approach empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test this research involved observations, in-depth interviews, and student surveys to explore students’ and teachers’ perceptions and identify core user needs. Data analysis revealed a strong demand for child-friendly, inclusive, and participatory spatial designs that support learning motivation and well-being. Based on these insights, a spatial redesign strategy was developed and pilot-tested, showing a significant increase in student comfort and engagement levels. The findings highlight the novelty of integrating Design Thinking as a participatory, context-sensitive method for educational facility planning, which not only empowers users but also aligns designs with local socio-cultural values and sustainability principles. This research offers a replicable model for schools seeking innovative, inclusive, and student-centered solutions to improve learning environments and promote holistic educational outcomes.

Abstract

Apology expressions play an important role in maintaining interpersonal relationships in Japanese communication. Among the commonly used expressions, sumimasen and gomennasai perform distinct sociopragmatic functions depending on situational context and speaker–listener relationships. However, learners of Japanese often experience difficulty distinguishing the appropriate contexts for using these expressions. Therefore, this study aims to examine the sociopragmatic functions of sumimasen and gomennasai in film dialogue. This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using sociopragmatic analysis. The data were collected from the animated film Sayonara no Asa ni Yakusoku no Hana wo Kazarou through observation and note-taking techniques. A total of fifteen utterances containing the expressions were identified and analyzed based on their contextual functions. The findings reveal that sumimasen performs two main functions: avoiding conflict and expressing dissatisfaction (two instances) and maintaining attitudinal distance (one instance). Meanwhile, gomennasai appears more frequently and functions as a marker of attitudinal distance (six instances) and as an expression of sincere apology (six instances). These findings suggest that the choice between sumimasen and gomennasai is strongly influenced by interpersonal relationships and emotional context within the narrative interaction.

Abstract

Teaching Factory (TEFA) programs are designed to connect classroom-based vocational education with real market production, positioning polytechnics as hybrid institutional–commercial actors within regional innovation ecosystems. However, sustaining the commercial viability of TEFA products remains a structural challenge. This study investigates the role of brand identity and local cultural values in strengthening customer loyalty toward TEFA products at Politeknik Negeri Jember. Employing a quantitative explanatory design with path analysis on data collected from 215 respondents, the study examines both direct and mediated relationships among brand identity, perceived cultural values, and customer loyalty. The results indicate that brand identity significantly influences customer loyalty directly (β = 0.412, p < 0.01) and indirectly through local cultural values (β = 0.153, p < 0.01), with the model explaining 46.1% of the variance in loyalty. These findings suggest that culturally embedded branding enhances institutional credibility and supports the transition from educational production to sustainable market engagement. The study contributes to the understanding of how branding mechanisms operate within vocational innovation systems and regional knowledge-based economic development contexts.

Abstract

Sexual violence in Indonesia remains a persistent social problem rooted in structural gender inequality, patriarchal norms, and emerging forms of digital violence. This study aims to identify knowledge gaps and evaluate the effectiveness of a capacity-building intervention designed to strengthen women’s organizations in preventing sexual violence and supporting victim-centered responses. The study involved 31 women’s organizations in Klaten Regency, Indonesia. A quasi-experimental pre-test and post-test design was employed to measure participants’ knowledge across four domains: conceptual understanding of sexual violence, recognition of causal factors, victim-friendly prevention and response, and ethical digital campaigning. Data were collected using a structured 20-item questionnaire administered before and after the intervention, and analyzed using descriptive statistical comparison of response proportions. The results indicate notable improvements in several areas. Recognition of structural power imbalance as a cause of sexual violence increased from 77% to 100%, while understanding that physical injury is not a prerequisite for identifying sexual violence rose from 23% to 92%. Participants also demonstrated improved awareness of trauma-informed prevention and the importance of inclusive communication in digital campaigns. However, significant knowledge gaps persisted in recognizing verbal harassment as sexual violence and understanding the ethical implications of using victims’ images in digital advocacy. These findings reveal a persistent knowledge–norm gap, where technical knowledge improved but ethical awareness remained limited. The study highlights the need for multi-phase dialogic interventions that combine knowledge transfer with ethical reflection and cultural norm transformation. It also demonstrates the strategic role of women’s organizations as grassroots actors in collaborative and survivor-centered governance for sexual violence prevention.

Abstract

The wickerwork home industry in Jombang Regency, which utilizes screw pine and bamboo, plays an important role in local employment. However, its development remains constrained by manual production processes and limited marketing strategies. This study aims to examine the implementation of technological automation and the digitalization of promotional efforts in wickerwork home industries using a Participatory Action Research (PAR) approach, consisting of identification, planning, action, observation, and evaluation stages. The program involved two home industries, including owners and employees, in adopting simple automation technologies and digital marketing practices. The results indicate that the application of automation technology improved production efficiency and enabled businesses to better meet customer demand. In addition, digital promotion training covering product photography, content creation, and the use of AI tools enhanced marketing reach through social media, contributing to increased national-level demand. This study highlights that integrating automation and digital marketing can strengthen the competitiveness of small-scale industries. However, sustained mentoring and multi-stakeholder support are essential to ensure long-term impact, expand employment opportunities, and promote business sustainability.

Abstract

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) often face barriers to business growth due to limited access to capital and the increasing reliance on high-interest online lending. This study aims to examine the implementation and impact of a waqf-based halal financing program designed to provide sustainable and interest-free capital for SMEs. The program represents a collaboration between YEWI and Alma Ata University through the GoJariyah platform, which promotes a fair and inclusive sharia-based financial ecosystem. The program was implemented from July 2024 to August 2025 in Yogyakarta using a community-based program design that included needs mapping, outreach, transparent beneficiary selection, and periodic evaluation supported by digital technology and partnerships with local Islamic financial institutions. Through this program, a total of IDR 300 million in productive waqf funds was distributed to 30 selected SMEs. The first year of implementation demonstrated positive outcomes. Beneficiary SMEs experienced an average revenue increase of 10–15%, with several businesses expanding production capacity and creating new employment opportunities. In addition to financial access, participating SMEs also showed improvements in business management practices, readiness for halal certification, and stronger integration into the local halal economic ecosystem. Overall, the findings indicate that waqf-based financing can serve as a practical and impactful model for supporting SME development. The GoJariyah program demonstrates the potential of productive waqf to strengthen small business resilience, reduce dependence on high-interest loans, and contribute to the development of the halal economy.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the high dependence of beneficiaries on social assistance. Beneficiary Families (KPM) face mental, psychological, and social obstacles in achieving post-graduation economic independence, so that financial-based empowerment programs are considered not effective enough. This research aims to understand the role of empowerment counseling in the process of social assistance for graduates, especially in psychosocial, behavioral, and economic aspects, to support the transition process from dependence to sustainable independence. The approach of this study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological analytical framework to understand the subjective experiences of beneficiaries in the local context of Banyumas Regency. Data collection was carried out through active observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation to capture the meaning, perception, and process of social assistance as experienced and interpreted by the informants. The research subjects consisted of five social companions at the sub-district level and fifty families of graduation participants from ten communities in Banyumas. Data were analyzed through the process of reduction, classification, and mapping of findings by linking field results to empowerment theory and community counseling practices. The results of the research on social assistance through community empowerment counseling for beneficiary graduates (PKH) in Banyumas indicate that empowerment counseling plays a role in supporting the independence process of participants. This research explicitly highlights women's empowerment in the transition from dependence on social assistance to economic and psychosocial independence, with empowerment counseling as a key element in the process of change. The mentoring approach through socialization, access, partnerships, and independent business development is understood as an effort to increase personal autonomy through strengthening motivation, confidence, and mindset changes. The application of cognitive restructuring techniques, motivational interviewing, support groups, and community support through KUBE and community leaders strengthens the sustainability of the graduation process

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of the PRISMA-E’xi learning model—an instructional innovation that integrates a multi-representation approach with the Engineering Design Process (EDP) in a STEM framework—to enhance senior high school students’ creative problem-solving (CPS) skills in physics. Employing a quantitative quasi-experimental design with a nonequivalent control group, the research involved 350 students from five schools representing rural, suburban, and urban regions. Students in the experimental group (n = 175) received instruction using PRISMA-E’xi, while those in the control group (n = 175) experienced conventional teaching. CPS ability was assessed through pre- and posttests aligned with six indicators: objective finding, fact finding, problem finding, idea finding, solution finding, and acceptance finding. Data were analyzed using independent t-tests, effect size (Cohen’s d), one-way ANOVA, and MANOVA with prerequisite tests for normality and homogeneity. Results revealed a highly significant improvement in CPS for the experimental group (t(342) = 17.8, p < 0.001) with a large effect size (d = 1.92). One-way ANOVA indicated no significant differences in n-gain across regions (p = 0.707), and MANOVA confirmed a strong multivariate effect of the learning model (Pillai’s Trace = 0.5027, p < 0.001) on all CPS indicators without regional interaction effects. Each instructional syntax of PRISMA-E’xi—problem exploration, representation structuring, investigative reasoning, scientific modelling, model assessment, and adaptive reflection—was found to foster specific CPS indicators, supporting critical and creative thinking as well as adaptive reasoning. Guided reflection, multi-representation analysis, and iterative solution evaluation promoted deep conceptual understanding and transferable problem-solving skills. The findings demonstrate that PRISMA-E’xi is an effective, flexible, and equitable model for improving students’ creative problem solving in physics, independent of geographic context. Despite limitations related to the quasi-experimental design, limited duration, and sample scope, the study provides robust empirical evidence that PRISMA-E’xi can serve as a scalable and innovative framework for 21st-century competency-based science education. Future research should employ randomized or longitudinal designs and explore cross-disciplinary applications to strengthen external validity and long-term impact assessment.
