Abstract

Individual behavior is an important factor in determining employee performance and organizational effectiveness. Differences in attitudes, perceptions, abilities, and work behaviors among employees can influence how tasks are performed and organizational goals are achieved. This study aims to examine the influence of individual behavior on employee performance at PT. PLN Distribution for the Greater Jakarta Area. This research employed a quantitative cross-sectional survey with an explanatory approach. The population consisted of 62 employees, and all members of the population were included as respondents using a saturated sampling technique. Primary data were collected through questionnaires, while relevant literature was used as theoretical support rather than as primary research data. The data were analyzed using simple linear regression with the assistance of statistical software. The results indicate that individual behavior has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The significance test shows a t-count of 8.540, which is greater than the t-table value of 2.00, with a significance value of 0.000 < 0.05. These findings demonstrate that better individual behavior is associated with higher employee performance. Therefore, organizations should pay attention to employees’ individual behavior as an important factor in improving performance and supporting the achievement of organizational goals. This study is expected to provide practical implications for organizational management and serve as a reference for future research concerning individual behavior and employee performance.

Abstract

The strong influence of traditional customs, along with unique demographic and socio-economic conditions, presents significant challenges for PT. ZYX in implementing its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs. These complexities are further shaped by environmental factors, raising the research problem of how CSR initiatives can be effectively designed and implemented to meet community needs while supporting business sustainability. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the implementation of CSR programs carried out by PT. ZYX. This study applies a qualitative research method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis to obtain a comprehensive understanding of CSR practices within the company. The results show that PT. ZYX implements CSR across five main areas: strengthening cooperatives, managing community relations, promoting sustainability, providing public facilities, and developing human resources. Prior to implementation, the company conducts social mapping, which includes program design, area assessment, implementation planning, and target setting. In addition, collaboration with various stakeholders—such as local communities, government authorities, village leaders, partner companies, and economic institutions—plays an important role in ensuring the effectiveness and sustainability of CSR programs

Abstract

Learning Management Systems (LMS) increasingly mediate values education, yet the pedagogical alignment between multimodal interface design and civic-values learning remains underexamined. This study investigated whether a visual–linguistic instructional design grounded in the Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning (CTML) was associated with improved understanding of Pancasila values, how students perceived its design features, and how these perceptions related to engagement. Using a convergent mixed-methods design, a six-week Moodle-based module developed through the ADDIE model was implemented with 47 second-semester undergraduates from Science Education (n = 19) and English Education (n = 28) at Universitas Qamarul Huda Badaruddin Bagu. Data were collected through a researcher-developed Pancasila Understanding Test, LMS analytics, open-ended reflections, and semi-structured interviews with 12 participants, and analysed using paired-samples t-tests, correlation and regression, and reflexive thematic analysis. Both cohorts showed significant pretest–posttest gains (p < .001) with large within-group effect sizes (d_av ≈ 1.63 and 1.70). In contrast, the between-cohort gain difference was negligible and non-significant (d ≈ 0.07, p > .05). Time-on-task was the strongest engagement correlate of gains (r = .65), explaining 42% of gain-score variance (R² = .42). Three themes emerged: clarity and accessibility, engagement and motivation, and cognitive overload from excessive visual density. These findings provide preliminary evidence that coordinated visual–linguistic LMS design may support Pancasila learning, while highlighting the need to calibrate visual density and interpret effects cautiously given the absence of a control group and the small, single-institution sample.

Abstract

Climate change is a global challenge that requires active public participation and context-sensitive communication strategies. This study analyzes community-based social marketing strategies for climate change education in Indonesia through a case study of the Peribumi community, with particular attention to the marketing mix, segmentation-targeting-positioning (STP), and the use of communication media. This study employed a qualitative case-study approach. Data were collected in May 2025 through in-depth interviews with [N] informants, consisting of the community founder as the key informant, administrators, and participants involved in Peribumi programs. The study purposively selected informants based on their direct involvement in planning, implementing, or participating in Peribumi's educational activities. Data were analyzed using an iterative qualitative case-study procedure involving data reduction, categorization, data display, pattern identification, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that Peribumi's community-based social marketing strategy delivers climate-related education through messages connected to everyday life and local values, combines digital communication channels with interactive educational activities, and involves community members and educational partners in collective environmental activities. The findings further indicate that locally relevant narratives and participatory communication facilitate community engagement with climate change issues. However, limited resources and difficulties in scaling up the programs remain important challenges. This study suggests that integrating social marketing principles, community participation, and locally contextualized communication can provide a useful framework for developing community-based climate change education programs in Indonesia.

Abstract

Translation is an essential skill that students in the English Language Education Study Program must master. However, many students still face difficulties in identifying effective media to support translation learning. Therefore, this study aims to investigate improvements in students’ English translation skills through the use of the Quillbot application. This research employed a quantitative approach using a Classroom Action Research (CAR) design, which consisted of four stages: planning, implementation, observation, and reflection. The participants of this study were fourth-semester students of the English Language Education Study Program at Universitas Muslim Nusantara Al Washliyah, with one class selected as the sample. There were 10 students. Data were collected through translation tests, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using comparative descriptive analysis by comparing students’ scores before and after the implementation across two cycles. It can be seen in the increase in the value of cycles I and II that have been carried out. The initial value was only 6 students (60%), then there was a change after the action was taken in cycle I, which was 8 students (80%), and it increased even more after being given action in cycle II, which was 9 students (90%). The findings revealed a significant improvement in students’ translation.

Abstract

This study analyses the edited volume Innovative Learning Environments in STEM Higher Education, edited by Jungwoo Ryoo and Katherine Winkelmann (2021), in the context of advancing innovative learning practices in STEM higher education. This article employs a descriptive-critical book review approach to examine the book, focusing on its conceptual contribution, practical relevance, contextual applicability, organisation, and critical limitations. The book consists of several chapters, each discussing different innovations in STEM learning, such as adaptive learning, multimodal learning, cross-reality (XR), and artificial intelligence (AI). The results reveal that the book emphasises a shift from teacher-centred to more student-centred learning by incorporating several innovative strategies, such as adaptive learning, multimodal learning, cross-reality (XR), and artificial intelligence (AI). In addition, the book outlines key implementation challenges, including constraints in infrastructure, institutional preparedness, and educators’ competencies. Nevertheless, the discussion is largely focused on theoretical perspectives rather than practical applications and predominantly reflects experiences from developed countries, thereby limiting its relevance to developing contexts. Overall, the book offers valuable theoretical insights into contemporary trends in innovative learning; however, further empirical and context-specific research is needed to enhance its practical applicability in diverse educational settings.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the presence, depth, and pedagogical implementation of ecolinguistic content in ESP textbooks at Universitas Muhammadiyah Sumatera Utara, and to explore how lecturers and students perceive this integration. The study is grounded in Stibbe’s ecolinguistic framework and draws on a qualitative case-study design. Using qualitative content analysis and thematic analysis of interview data from four ESP textbooks, four lecturers, and four students as informants, the study finds that environmental topics are present but limited in scope and largely confined to isolated units. The integration remains predominantly superficial and informative, with minimal reflective or transformative tasks that promote critical ecological reasoning or interdisciplinary engagement. Environmental discourse is not systematically embedded across language skills nor operationalized into communicative practices that foster sustainability awareness. Interview findings reveal varying levels of awareness and highlight institutional and material constraints affecting implementation. Overall, this confirms that ecolinguistic integration across the four textbooks remains shallow and disconnected from learners’ disciplinary needs. The study highlights the importance of pedagogical depth as a key criterion for evaluating ecolinguistic integration and underscores the need for structurally embedded, discipline-sensitive sustainability frameworks in ESP material development.

Abstract

This study examines economic pressure and social deviance in illegal tin mining at Kolong Buntu, Sungailiat, Bangka Regency, through Robert K. Merton’s Anomie Theory. This study used a qualitative case study approach. Data were collected through interviews with 16 informants, comprising five miners, four residents, two community leaders, three local government or village officials, and two law enforcement officers, supplemented by field observations and document analysis. The findings show that miners’ involvement was linked to income instability, limited access to legal employment, and the need to secure immediate earnings. Illegal mining operated through an informal network involving field miners, managers or coordinators, equipment controllers, and tin buyers or collectors. Field observations identified water turbidity, mud accumulation, damage to pit margins and vegetation, and machinery noise. Enforcement measures did not fully prevent recurring activities because managerial and buyer networks, worker replacement, adaptive operating patterns, and limited surveillance continued to sustain illegal mining opportunities. From an anomie perspective, innovation more adequately explains economically vulnerable workers with limited access to legitimate means than controlling actors with greater resources and market access.

Abstract

Reading for Pleasure (RfP) is associated with literacy development and reading enjoyment, yet formal education can turn reading into an assessment-driven obligation. This narrative review examines how formal education conceptualizes RfP and how it relates to reading pedagogy. Ten peer-reviewed studies published between 2014 and 2024 were identified through Scopus and Google Scholar and synthesized thematically. The corpus spans school and university contexts in the United States, Australia, Ghana, Nigeria, Spain, Indonesia, and the United Kingdom, as well as non-site-specific conceptual and practice-design analyses. Across the studies, RfP is best understood as a continuum from externally required reading through supported choice and developing enjoyment to more autonomous reading. Meaningful text choice, multimodal and personalized activities, social and private reading opportunities, learner participation, and supportive classroom and library environments emerge as promising approaches, although the heterogeneous evidence does not support uniform causal claims. Teachers and librarians help preserve access, choice, and low-stakes participation, while institutional support can sustain the conditions needed for reader autonomy. RfP can be integrated into formal education when pedagogical structure protects voluntariness and enjoyment. Longitudinal and mixed-method research is needed to assess whether RfP initiatives in formal education produce sustained voluntary reading beyond intervention periods.

Abstract

This study explores how multilingual secondary-school ESL students in an Indonesian diaspora context negotiate their digital agency when using generative AI tools. Specifically, the study examines how students engage with and navigate the perceived potential influence of algorithmic homogenization while trying to preserve their emotional authenticity in L2 academic writing. This study employs a qualitative case study design with data gathered from seven purposefully selected participants through document analysis of their AI prompts, machine outputs, and final essays, triangulated with stimulated recall interviews. Through thematic analysis, the findings reveal a heterogeneous landscape of AI adoption, where the multilingual secondary-school ESL students engage in situational compromises—delegating rigid linguistic tasks to the machine while defending their personal narratives and cultural expressions. The students do not act as passive receivers; instead, they strategically position the tools as pedagogical scaffolds for structural blueprints and lexical consultations. These findings suggest that digital agency and identity preservation operate as closely interrelated dimensions within L2 writing. Ultimately, while highlighting the necessity of critical algorithmic literacy, it should be noted that these findings are highly context-specific to this unique diaspora demographic and should not be interpreted as broadly generalizable to other settings.
