Abstract

Digitalisation in the public sector has led to higher demands for transparency, accountability, and accurate reporting. However, many organisations still face obstacles such as unsynchronised data, slow reporting processes, and performance evaluations that are not fully evidence-based. These conditions indicate that the effectiveness of information systems is urgently needed to strengthen organisational governance and performance. This study aims to analyse the influence of Information System Effectiveness on Financial Governance and Performance Evaluation in Regional Apparatus Organisations (OPD) within local government. The study uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. The research population consists of OPD employees involved in the use of information systems, financial management, and/or performance evaluation. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample size of 120 respondents. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires in the period November–December 2025. Data analysis used PLS-SEM with the help of SmartPLS through measurement model and structural model evaluation. The results showed that information system effectiveness had a positive effect on strengthening financial governance and improving performance evaluation. These findings confirm that an effective information system not only serves an administrative function but also becomes a strategic factor in ensuring more transparent financial management and more objective performance assessment. The implications of this study encourage OPDs to prioritise improving system quality, data integration, and information utilisation as a basis for performance control and evaluation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze change management strategies in addressing the high intensity of human resource turnover and resistance to digitalization in Islamic faith-based private schools in Bekasi. Using a qualitative approach, the study identifies the root causes as rigid paternalistic culture and bureaucratic inefficiencies. The intervention strategies are designed using Kotter eight-step change model integrated with Schein organizational culture model to transform the organization underlying assumptions. The findings indicate that the formation of a guiding coalition and the achievement of short-term wins in administrative digitalization are key factors in reducing resistance and enhancing employee engagement. In conclusion, a structured change management approach is able to foster a more inclusive and adaptive organizational culture, which ultimately reduces employees’ turnover intention.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between structural change and regional income convergence in Indonesia following the 2001 fiscal decentralization. Utilizing quantitative analysis on 30 provinces over 2005–2018 and 514 districts from 2000–2017, we employ shift-share decomposition, club convergence testing (Phillips & Sul methodology), and dynamic panel data models. Results reveal that while Java Island maintains 57% of national GDP, post-decentralization patterns show heterogeneous convergence dynamics characterized by five distinct convergence clubs rather than uniform income convergence. Structural change, particularly within-sector productivity improvements, positively impacts regional growth, though effectiveness has declined. Dynamic structural effects increasingly negative, indicating labor reallocation toward less productive sectors. Despite decentralization policies, regional inequality persists, modulated by development thresholds and natural resource endowments. Policy implications suggest necessity for differentiated regional development strategies acknowledging structural heterogeneity across convergence clubs

Abstract

Algorithmic nudging through artificial intelligence-driven management has emerged as a transformative force in contemporary hybrid workplaces, offering unprecedented opportunities for personalized performance optimization while simultaneously raising critical concerns about employee autonomy and psychological well-being. This mixed-methods study examined 87 white-collar professionals from Indonesian technology, financial services, and consulting firms to elucidate the complex relationship between algorithmic nudging, job burnout, perceived threat, and workforce well-being. Drawing upon self-determination theory and conservation of resources theory, the study integrated in-depth qualitative interviews (n=32) with quantitative burnout assessments employing the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Results revealed a curvilinear relationship whereby moderate algorithmic nudging implementations demonstrated positive effects on competence satisfaction and task clarity, whereas intensive surveillance and real-time algorithmic interventions paradoxically increased emotional exhaustion and cynicism by undermining autonomy and relatedness. Person-job fit emerged as a critical moderator, with individuals in roles aligned with algorithmic management exhibiting 34% lower burnout compared to misaligned counterparts. The study identified three primary mechanisms through which algorithmic nudging influences well-being: resource depletion (through psychological pressure), autonomy suppression (through constrained decision-making), and relatedness erosion (through surveillance-induced isolation). Contextual factors including organizational transparency, employee agency in system design, and hybrid work flexibility substantially buffered negative effects. These findings suggest that algorithmic nudging represents a double-edged sword requiring calibrated implementation, genuine employee participation in system governance, and human-centric safeguards to maximize productivity gains while protecting psychological well-being in the hybrid work erav

Abstract

Changes in the work environment and demands for improved employee performance have made human resource management an increasingly important strategic factor, including in religious-based educational institutions. Organisations not only need targeted HR planning, but also investment in human capital development and a work environment that supports employee engagement. This study aims to analyse the effect of Strategic Human Resource Planning and Human Capital Investment on Employee Performance with Employee Engagement as a mediating variable and Psychological Safety as a moderating variable. This study uses a quantitative approach with explanatory research. The research population consists of all employees and educators at the Inspiratif Al Ilham Islamic Boarding School in Bojongsoang, West Java. The sampling technique used simple random sampling with a sample size of 100 respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires and analysed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) through SmartPLS. The results showed that human capital investment and strategic human resource planning played a role in increasing employee engagement, which in turn drove performance improvement. Psychological safety was also found to strengthen the relationship between engagement and performance, enabling employees to work more optimally in a psychologically safe environment. This study implies that educational institutions need to strengthen human resource investment, build work engagement, and create a supportive work climate to improve employee performance in a sustainable manner.

Abstract

The rapid digitalization of work has intensified technostress and heightened the risk of digital burnout, particularly in knowledge-intensive and technology-driven organizations. Drawing on the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model, this article develops and tests a conceptual framework in which technostress operates as a key job demand, digital burnout as a central health-impairment outcome, and a bundle of strategic human resource management (HRM) job resources—framed as “techno-recovery” resources—buffers these effects. Techno-recovery resources are defined as integrated organizational, social, and technological practices that support psychological detachment, digital boundary control, and recovery from technology-driven strain. The rapid digitalization of work has intensified technostress and heightened the risk of digital burnout, particularly in knowledge-intensive and technology-driven organizations. Drawing on the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model, this article develops and tests a conceptual framework in which technostress operates as a key job demand, digital burnout as a central health-impairment outcome, and a bundle of strategic human resource management (HRM) job resources—framed as “techno-recovery” resources—buffers these effects. Techno-recovery resources are defined as integrated organizational, social, and technological practices that support psychological detachment, digital boundary control, and recovery from technology-driven strain. Using a quantitative survey design among employees in digitally intensive organizations, the study proposes the use of structural equation modeling to test the mediating role of digital burnout between technostress and outcomes (work engagement and turnover intention), and the moderating role of techno-recovery resources within the JD-R framework. While the empirical patterns are presented conceptually for illustrative purposes, the model is grounded in prior evidence on technostress, recovery experiences, and HRM in digital contexts. The article contributes by (1) positioning technostress and techno-recovery within an extended JD-R model, (2) specifying strategic HRM levers to reduce digital burnout, and (3) offering a measurement framework for future empirical work in emerging economies
