Abstract

This study examines the structural relationships among fiscal strategy, intergovernmental transfers, financial accountability, economic development performance, candidate strength, and incumbent electoral performance in local elections. The study uses secondary data from 214 Indonesian regencies and municipalities where incumbent regional heads or deputy heads ran again in the 2020 simultaneous local elections. Fiscal indicators are measured using realized local budget data and audit results from the 2019 local government budget, representing the pre-election period, while electoral performance is measured using election results and incumbent vote share. The data are analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares. The findings show that candidate strength has the strongest structural relationship with incumbent electoral performance in the specified model. Among the fiscal strategies examined, only the revenue strategy shows positive structural relationships with both economic development performance and incumbent electoral performance. Expenditure strategy and intergovernmental transfers are negatively associated with economic development performance and do not show direct structural relationships with incumbent electoral performance. Financing strategy is not significantly related to either development or electoral performance. Financial accountability shows a positive structural relationship with economic development performance, but not with incumbent electoral performance. The mediation test indicates that economic development performance does not mediate the structural relationships between fiscal strategy, intergovernmental transfers, financial accountability, and incumbent electoral performance. These findings suggest that, in the specified model, incumbent electoral performance is more closely associated with candidate strength and local revenue capacity than with economic development performance as a retrospective voting mechanism.

Abstract

Employee job satisfaction remains an important human resource management issue in plantation companies because employees work under diverse operational and environmental conditions that influence their perceptions of organizational rewards and workplace quality. Despite extensive research on job satisfaction, empirical evidence regarding the relationships between rewards, work environment, and employee job satisfaction in Indonesia's plantation sector remains limited. Therefore, this study examined whether rewards and work environment are associated with employee job satisfaction at PT Perkebunan Nusantara IV Regional I Bandar Betsy. This study employed a quantitative explanatory survey involving 80 employees selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that rewards are positively and significantly associated with employee job satisfaction. Likewise, the work environment is positively and significantly associated with employee job satisfaction. Furthermore, rewards and work environment jointly explain a substantial proportion of the variation in employee job satisfaction. These findings support the applicability of Herzberg's Two-Factor Theory in the plantation-sector context by demonstrating that both organizational rewards and workplace conditions are important predictors of employee job satisfaction. Practically, the findings provide empirical evidence that may assist the management of plantation companies in developing fair reward systems and supportive workplace conditions to enhance employee job satisfaction.

Abstract

The gap between the high interest in entrepreneurship among Indonesians and the low actual entrepreneurship rate suggests that entrepreneurship education in vocational higher education lacks an ideal curriculum-based practical model to bridge this divide while simultaneously accelerating the digital transformation of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). This study aims to develop and evaluate a Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model integrated with an Outcome-Based Education (OBE) curriculum structure within the Digital Transformation and Technopreneurship course. A quasi-experimental approach was employed, involving 91 vocational college students in Semarang, Indonesia, over 6.5 weeks of active instruction organized into 29 groups and collaborate with 29 MSMEs. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was also conducted to examine the role of Project-Based Learning (PjBL) as a mediator between Entrepreneurial Support Clarity (ESC) and Digital Transformation Readiness Competency (DTRC). The study demonstrated a significant influence of PjBL in leveraging ESC (coefficient = 0.525; p less than 0.001) on DTRC. The PjBL implementation proved effective, with the proportion of students achieving an 'A' grade rising from 10.70 percent during the conceptual reinforcement stage to 96.40 percent during the real-project implementation stage. Achievement levels for course learning outcome indicators closely matched the established weightings, while Digital Readiness Assessment (DRA) results indicated that the partner MSMEs' digital maturity fell within Level 2 (Basic Digital). These findings confirm the relevance of the five PjBL criteria, as follows: centrality, driving questions, constructive investigation, autonomy, and realism, within the framework of Experiential Learning Theory. The study's novelty lies in the development of an implementation model that explicitly maps the integration of OBE, PjBL, and digital transformation instruments, offering both theoretical and practical contributions to entrepreneurship curriculum development in vocational higher education and the acceleration of MSME digital transformation in Indonesia.

Abstract

Biodiversity conservation has become one of the global priorities due to human activities such as habitat destruction, deforestation, and the introduction of invasive species, which have caused significant biodiversity loss. The Philippines, recognized as a global biodiversity hotspot, includes Negros Occidental, a province known for its rich ecosystems. This study focuses on the Municipality of Ilog in southern Negros Occidental and primarily used a descriptive quantitative survey design, employing individual interview surveys with 40 respondents. Quantitative data served as the primary basis for analysis using frequency counts and percentage distributions, while selected open-ended responses were summarized thematically to provide supplementary contextual insights. The study explored biodiversity awareness within the local community and examined how demographic characteristics may relate to local ecological knowledge and conservation awareness. The study aimed to investigate the role of demographic factors in biodiversity awareness within the local community, specifically examining age, years of residence, distance to the nearest LCA, among others. It also explored the coexistence of diverse ethnic groups and demographic characteristics, highlighting the complexity of challenges and opportunities in biodiversity conservation. Furthermore, the study examined the local community’s knowledge of extinct and existing plant species, revealing that a significant percentage of respondents show in-depth awareness regardless of educational backgrounds. The reasons for plant extinction, such as typhoons, use of plants for fuel and housing, natural aging, and fire, as well as the location and abundance of current plant species, were also identified. The findings emphasize the vital role of community involvement in conservation efforts and demonstrate the need for strategies that address demographic, economic, and cultural factors to preserve plant species and ecosystems effectively. By integrating theory with local data, this study contributes to guiding future conservation initiatives and promoting ecological sustainability through informed and inclusive approaches.

Abstract

Previous studies have reported inconsistent findings on the raelationship between transformational leadership and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), while the simultaneous mediating roles of quality of work life and organizational commitment remain underexamined in local public-sector organizations. This study examines the association between transformational leadership and OCB and analyzes the mediating roles of quality of work life and organizational commitment among employees of the Health, Population Control and Family Planning Office of Cilacap Regency. Using a quantitative cross-sectional survey, data were collected from all 171 employees through saturated sampling. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings show that transformational leadership is positively associated with OCB and quality of work life, but not directly associated with organizational commitment. Quality of work life is positively associated with organizational commitment and OCB, while organizational commitment is positively associated with OCB. Mediation testing indicates that quality of work life significantly mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and both organizational commitment and OCB, whereas organizational commitment does not significantly mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and OCB. These findings extend Social Exchange Theory by showing that leadership in a local public-sector setting supports extra-role behavior primarily through improved quality of work life.

Abstract

Electric vehicle (EV) adoption in emerging economies is shaped by interacting technical, economic, institutional, and behavioral factors. In Indonesia, despite substantial fiscal and non-fiscal incentives, EV adoption remains below 1% of vehicle sales, reflecting persistent misalignment among government targets, industry capabilities, and consumer acceptance. Existing studies tend to analyze these challenges in isolation and rarely integrate behavioral and institutional dimensions within a single coherent framework suited to such "wicked" policy problems. This study is conceptual and methodological in nature. Through a systematic literature review (SLR) of 81 articles, supported by a System of Systems Methodologies (SOSM) analysis and refined by a pilot workshop with Indonesian experts, it develops an integrated problem-structuring framework. The review indicates that Problem Structuring Methods, particularly Soft Systems Methodology (SSM), remain underutilized in emerging-economy transport policy. On this basis, the study proposes a six-stage integration protocol that positions SSM as the methodological backbone, complemented by Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT), Principal-Agent Theory (PAT), and Strategic Choice Approach (SCA), spanning problem exploration, innovation analysis, incentive mapping, conceptual modeling, uncertainty management, and implementation strategy. The framework offers a structured way to combine interpretive, behavioral, institutional, and strategic perspectives while maintaining theoretical coherence. Its applicability is illustrated through an exploratory application to Indonesia's EV charging-infrastructure policy, with broader empirical validation identified as a priority for future research.

Abstract

Hospitals are health service institutions that provide comprehensive medical services including inpatient, outpatient, and emergency care. In the era of digital communication, electronic word of mouth has become an important factor influencing patients’ perceptions and loyalty toward health services. This study aims to examine the influence of electronic word of mouth dimensions—Concern for Others, Expressing Positive Feelings, and Helping the Company—on patient loyalty at Muhammadiyah Bandung Hospital. This research employed a quantitative approach using a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to outpatients at the internal medicine polyclinic. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and multiple linear regression. The results indicate that Concern for Others (mean = 3.52), Expressing Positive Feelings (mean = 3.48), Helping the Company (mean = 3.55), and Patient Loyalty (mean = 3.40) are all categorized as high.

Abstract

Higher education institutions (HEIs) increasingly demonstrate institutional excellence through effective governance, quality assurance, innovation, and stakeholder-centered service. However, limited research has examined how governance, administrative, and academic practices operate as an integrated institutional system within Philippine Local Universities and Colleges (LUCs) from a Public Administration perspective. This study aimed to identify, document, and analyze the institutional best practices of the City College of Calamba (CCC), examine how these practices reflect selected Public Administration perspectives, and develop a theory-informed Best Practices Framework. Using a qualitative single-case study design, the study analyzed 916 institutional documents covering 2023–2025 and used non-participant observation as contextual corroboration of documented practices and processes. Data were analyzed through document analysis, thematic analysis, and theory-based pattern matching. Practices were assessed using documented indicators of effectiveness, innovativeness, sustainability, and replicability. The findings show three interconnected domains: governance, administrative systems, and academic excellence. These practices were documented alongside institutional patterns involving accountability, quality management, stakeholder-centered service, innovation, organizational learning, and continuous improvement. The practices also reflected complementary principles of Good Governance Theory, New Public Management, Total Quality Management, Institutional Theory, and Learning Organization Theory. The study contributes a contextual, practice-based framework that connects institutional evidence, governance, administrative systems, academic practices, documented outcomes, enabling conditions, and continuous improvement. Because the evidence is drawn from a single institutional case, the framework is presented as a conceptual model for interpretation and adaptation rather than as a causally validated model.

Abstract

Private universities in Medan City, Indonesia, have experienced a notable decline in the number of institutions, approximately 15.7% between 2020 and 2025, amid rapid advances in science and technology that have transformed how prospective students search for, evaluate, and select higher education institutions through digital platforms. In this increasingly competitive environment, Digital Marketing Capability has emerged as an important strategic asset for enhancing institutional visibility, engaging prospective students, and strengthening competitive advantage. However, empirical evidence explaining how Digital Marketing Capability is associated with students’ university selection decisions through Perceived Competitive Advantage remains limited, particularly in the context of private higher education. This study examines the association between Digital Marketing Capability and University Selection Decision, with Perceived Competitive Advantage serving as a mediating variable. An explanatory quantitative approach was employed using cross-sectional survey data collected from 363 new students enrolled in private universities in Medan City, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that Digital Marketing Capability is positively and significantly associated with both Perceived Competitive Advantage and University Selection Decision. Furthermore, Perceived Competitive Advantage is positively and significantly associated with University Selection Decision and partially mediates the relationship between Digital Marketing Capability and University Selection Decision. These findings suggest that digital marketing should be viewed not merely as a promotional tool but as a strategic organizational capability associated with stronger perceived competitive advantage and more favorable university selection decisions. This study contributes to the higher education marketing literature by highlighting the mediating role of Perceived Competitive Advantage in explaining the relationship between institutional Digital Marketing Capability and students’ University Selection Decision. Practically, the findings provide insights for private universities seeking to strengthen their digital capabilities and competitive positioning in an increasingly competitive higher education market.

Abstract

Prior literature on strategy implementation established that organisations routinely fail to realise the performance potential of their formulated strategies, with execution failures consistently identified as the primary source of this shortfall. However, the construct responsible for closing this gap, execution consistency, implementation consistency, or execution discipline, remained unstabilised across the literature. This paper reviewed how this fragmentation arose and what was required to resolve it. Through a structured integrative review of four bodies of literature, covering the classical strategy process, business strategy, performance management systems, and strategy execution, the review identified that the instability stemmed from unresolved boundaries between execution consistency and two better-established adjacent constructs: business strategy upstream and performance management systems further upstream. The review concluded that execution consistency was a construct the literature recognised but had not yet built, and that construct-development work must begin with boundary specification before definitional, theoretical, measurement, and causal stabilisation could follow.
