Abstract

This study explains how the ban on girls’ education in Afghanistan after August 2021 has affected family income. For many years, girls’ education helped families because educated women had better chances to find jobs and bring in steady earnings. When schools and universities closed again, many families worried about how they would manage without the future income they expected from their daughters. The purpose of this study is to measure how the ban has changed household income. A quantitative survey was carried out with 316 households in Kabul, Herat, Balkh, and Badakhshan. Data were collected through an online questionnaire, and the analysis used Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling to examine the links between female education, expectation loss, support for education, and income. The findings show that the education ban has clearly reduced household income and increased financial stress. Families who had daughters with higher levels of education before the ban reported even bigger income losses. Expectation loss also played a role, as households that relied on future income from their daughters experienced stronger financial decline. Even with these difficulties, most families still support girls’ return to school. Overall, the results show that stopping girls from studying directly harms family finances and increases economic problems for communities across Afghanistan.

Abstract

The pharmaceutical industry is an influential industrial sector in the Indonesian economy. However, by the end of 2024, almost all state-owned pharmaceutical companies experienced a decline in profits due to various problems such as the spread of vaccines and medicines due to the end of the Covid-19 pandemic, to serious problems such as accumulating debt and impacting the company's operational costs. Therefore, the author is interested in conducting research that impacts company profitability, namely the effect of the Current Ratio, Debt to Asset Ratio, and Debt to Equity Ratio on Return on Assets in the pharmaceutical industry listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange for the period 2015-2024. Data were taken from annual report data and the sample used was 40 from four pharmaceutical industries, namely PT. Indofarma Tbk, PT. Kimia Farma Tbk, PT. Phapros Tbk and PT. Pyridam Farma Tbk. The data were analyzed using panel data regression and processed using Eviews 12 software. The results of partial hypothesis testing showed that the Current Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio had no significant effect on Return on Assets, while the Debt to Asset Ratio had a significant effect on Return on Assets. Simultaneously, the variables Current Ratio, Debt to Asset Ratio and Debt to Equity Ratio had a significant effect on Return on Assets of pharmaceutical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange.

Abstract

In an increasingly turbulent and digitalized environment, organizational resilience has become a critical capability enabling organizations to survive and thrive amid unexpected disruptions. Drawing on the digital transformation and organizational resilience framework, this study examines the role of digital literacy as a mediating mechanism through which digital transformation enhances organizational resilience. Although prior studies highlight the importance of digital transformation in strengthening resilience, limited attention has been given to the human-capability mechanisms that explain how this relationship unfolds. Addressing this gap, the present study integrates digital literacy into the digital transformation and organizational resilience. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 224 SME owners in the retail sector in Greater Bandung and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that digital transformation has a positive and significant effect on digital literacy, suggesting that digitally mature organizations are more likely to foster owner digital capabilities. In addition, digital transformation is found to directly and positively influence organizational resilience. Most importantly, the findings demonstrate that digital literacy partially mediates the relationship between digital transformation and organizational resilience. This suggests that digital transformation strengthens organizational resilience not only through technological and structural mechanisms, but also by enhancing their ability to effectively use and adapt digital technologies.

Abstract

The outbreak of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 has put great pressure on the health care system, especially on the aspect of human resource (HR) management in hospitals. This study aims to analyze the relationship between the role of hospital managers and the effectiveness of HR management during a health crisis. The method used is quantitative correlational involving 172 respondents consisting of health workers and managerial staff in several referral hospitals. Data were collected through a closed questionnaire based on a Likert scale and analyzed using descriptive statistics and Pearson correlation tests. The results of the study indicate that there is a positive and significant relationship between the role of hospital managers, especially in the aspects of planning, directing, supervising, and crisis communication, with the effectiveness of HR management during an outbreak. This finding emphasizes the importance of strengthening managerial capacity and formulating adaptive HR policies to increase organizational resilience in dealing with health emergencies. This study is expected to be a reference in formulating hospital management policies and strategies in the future.

Abstract

Based on the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) report, procurement of goods and services in Bogor Regency still faces challenges, including limited public information access and weak independent oversight. These issues contributed to the regional government’s Qualified Opinion (WDP), driven by unclear management of BOS-related expenditures, non-compliant allowance for doubtful accounts, and high short-term liabilities. This study analyzes the implementation of transparency and accountability principles in the procurement process at the Department of Communication and Informatics of Bogor Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through open and closed questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The findings indicate that transparency through the Electronic Procurement Service (LPSE) system has been implemented adequately; however, challenges persist in data integration, documentation quality, and internal monitoring. Accountability efforts through reporting and auditing are evident but constrained by limited human resource competence, the absence of measurable accountability mechanisms, and weak multi-layered oversight. The study underscores the need for integrated digital data management, capacity building for procurement personnel, and stronger oversight systems to enhance transparency and accountability in public procurement.

Abstract

Digital transformation changes the function and role of government offices from an administrative center to a digital-based center for data integration and cross-unit coordination. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital government coordination in the city of Bandung and provide recommendations for repositioning the role of offices in the era of automation. With a descriptive literature study method that utilizes academic literature sources, reports from various agencies, and the results of previous research, an overview of digital coordination in various local governments is obtained. The results show that the use of integrated systems such as the Bandung Command Center (BCC) and the Bandung City Government Integrative Data Analytics System (SADIG) improves efficiency, transparency, and accuracy of communication and decision-making. However, its effectiveness is still limited by limited interoperability, low digital literacy of apparatus, and lack of optimal data governance. This study recommends repositioning the role of the office as a data governance center and collaboration facilitator through the establishment of a Data Integration and Collaboration Office unit, strengthening interoperability between SKPDs, and increasing data analysis capacity. The novelty lies in the concept of the office as a data governance manager and digital coordination center that is adaptive to automation.

Abstract

Work-life balance has become an important factor shaping employee attitudes and organizational outcomes, especially in service-based sectors such as food and beverage businesses. This study examined the relationship between work-life balance and organizational commitment among employees of Kedai Kopitiam Budiman, focusing on whether employees who experience better balance between work and personal life tend to show stronger commitment to their organization. A quantitative cross-sectional design was used, and data were collected through an online questionnaire completed by all 44 employees using a total sampling approach. Both constructs were measured with validated Likert-scale instruments, and analysis included descriptive statistics, normality testing, and the Spearman rank correlation due to the non-normal distribution of one variable. The findings revealed a moderate and positive correlation between work-life balance and organizational commitment. Employees who reported higher perceived balance were more likely to demonstrate stronger loyalty and attachment to the organization. This statistically significant finding suggests that healthy work-life balance practices may contribute to organizational stability. These results highlight the importance of supportive scheduling, equitable workload distribution, and employee-centered policies in strengthening organizational stability. Future research may explore causal mechanisms or examine which specific work-life balance practices have the strongest long-term impact on employee outcomes.

Abstract

Generational differences in the workplace present both challenges and opportunities for organisations to build effective communication and a balanced working environment. This topic was chosen because younger employees entering the workforce are bringing perspectives and communication styles that differ from those of previous generations. This study aims to explore how intergenerational communication behaviour and ethics are formed in office settings, and how interactions across age groups contribute to workplace harmony. The research employs a qualitative descriptive approach through literature review, observation, and interviews with employees from various generations. The findings reveal that communication differences between younger and older generations can be bridged through mutual understanding and willingness to adapt to each other’s communication patterns. Younger generations tend to communicate more openly and adapt quickly to digital platforms, while older generations emphasise politeness, structure, and experience. When both groups interact, a new form of communication emerges, one that is more open, respectful, and built on mutual trust. Ethical communication has also evolved from formal rules into a shared awareness of communicating wisely and professionally. This study is expected to provide organisations with insights into fostering a more harmonious and collaborative multigenerational work culture.

Abstract

The development of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has driven significant changes in modern office management. The implementation of AI enhances operational efficiency through automated workflows, algorithm-based data analytics, and the optimization of energy usage and facility management. However, conventional office management practices still face challenges, including inefficiencies, high energy consumption, and limited adoption of environmental sustainability principles. This study aims to analyze the role of AI in supporting the transformation toward environmentally friendly smart offices through its integration with the Internet of Things (IoT) and Green Human Resource Management (GHRM) practices. This research employs a literature review method based on recent scholarly sources. Findings indicate that AI has the potential to reduce carbon footprints, improve workplace environmental quality, and strengthen sustainability-oriented organizational culture. Nevertheless, successful implementation of AI requires adequate infrastructure readiness, enhanced human resource competencies, and robust governance of data privacy and security. With appropriate strategic planning, AI can serve as a catalyst for developing efficient and sustainable office management systems.

Abstract

Human Resource Management (HRM) has developed into a strategic and knowledge-based discipline, yet many studies apply theoretical and analytical approaches without explicitly examining the philosophical assumptions underlying HRM research and practice. This limited reflection may reduce theoretical coherence, methodological consistency, and ethical accountability. This study examines how the ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions of the philosophy of science contribute to strengthening the theoretical, methodological, and ethical foundations of Human Resource Management. Using a qualitative thematic literature review, 54 academic publications published between 2018 and 2025 were systematically analyzed through iterative coding and thematic synthesis. The findings show that philosophical assumptions are widely embedded but rarely made explicit in HRM research. Ontological perspectives are often rhetorical, epistemological approaches are dominated by quantitative and data-driven methods, and axiological considerations are acknowledged but weakly institutionalized. This uneven integration sustains a gap between philosophical principles and HRM practice. The study proposes an integrative conceptual model linking philosophical dimensions to HR practices and organizational outcomes. The study concludes that philosophy of science can serve as a reflective framework to support more coherent, ethically grounded, and context-sensitive HRM research and practice.
