Abstract

Ethics play a fundamental role in shaping the quality of public services, providing the foundation for professionalism, transparency, accountability, and fairness in governance. This study aims to analyze the role of ethics in improving public service delivery through a comprehensive literature review. By employing a descriptive qualitative approach and library research method, this study synthesizes insights from books, peer-reviewed journal articles, laws and regulations, official institutional reports, and international publications. The findings revealed that ethical standards significantly contribute to building public trust, preventing maladministration, and fostering clean governance. However, challenges persist in implementing ethics within the public sector, including weak law enforcement, limited ethical awareness among officials, and the persistence of a patrimonial bureaucratic culture. To address these obstacles, this study highlights the need to strengthen bureaucratic reform, integrate ethics education into civil service training, and enhance participatory monitoring systems. This study contributes both theoretically and practically by emphasizing ethics as an indispensable pillar of good governance and offering recommendations to enhance the effectiveness, fairness, and accountability of public services.

Abstract

The Japan Foundation (JF) plays a central role in strengthening the sociocultural foundation of bilateral relations between Indonesia and Japan. To promote mutual understanding, the JF adapted its public diplomacy strategy to an online format when the COVID-19 pandemic posed significant challenges. This study aims to analyze JF's strategy through its 2023 Online Lecture Series on Japanese Culture (OLS) program in Indonesia. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach with interviews and a literature review, and applying Mark Leonard's public diplomacy concept, this study examines how the JF implemented its strategy. The findings show that the JF successfully executed three key dimensions of public diplomacy. News Management was conducted through the rapid dissemination of information on social media and a responsive approach to audience interactions. Strategic Communication was embodied by the well-planned OLS program, a proactive initiative designed to cultivate a rich and profound image of Japan, reinforced by a varied selection of themes and a clear connection to the celebration of diplomatic relations. Finally, Relationship Building was strengthened through long-term collaborations with local institutions and the facilitation of dialogue. Despite facing technical and material challenges, OLS proved effective in reaching a wider audience and contributed to maintaining mutual trust. This research also offers a novel perspective on how digital adaptation and online strategies can effectively engage youth and sustain transnational collaboration, making OLS a reference for future hybrid diplomacy in Southeast Asia.

Abstract

The increasing reliance on commercial satellite networks during armed conflicts has revealed substantial deficiencies in international space law. The Russia–Ukraine conflict serves as a pivotal case study, wherein Ukraine's utilization of SpaceX's Starlink satellite constellation for military communications obscured the distinction between civilian and military objects. This dual-use characteristic poses challenges to the traditional principles of international law, including state sovereignty over airspace, as delineated by the 1944 Chicago Convention, the freedom of outer space, as established by the 1967 Outer Space Treaty, and the principle of distinction under international humanitarian law. This study employs doctrinal legal analysis to assess whether dual-use satellites should be deemed legitimate military targets and to what extent states are accountable for the actions of private space actors. It contends that existing frameworks inadequately address the militarization risks posed by commercial satellites in low Earth orbit. The study concludes that new normative measures – whether through treaty amendments, interpretive declarations, or soft law instruments – are urgently needed to reconcile the competing principles of state sovereignty, civilian protection, and non-militarization of outer space.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze how metacommunication works in the case of the worldwide stupid speech controversy by Ahmad Sahroni related to the dissolution of the House of Representatives of the Republic of Indonesia. The remark gained public attention not because of the substance of the message about the danger of dissolving the House of Representatives, but because of the choice of words that were considered rude and inappropriate to be uttered by a state official. This research uses a qualitative approach with a case study method through the analysis of critical discourse on statement texts, media reports, and public interaction on social media. The results show that the metacommunication aspect, especially diction and delivery style, is more dominant in shaping public perception than the substance of political messages. Media framing that highlights the world's stupid diction and virality on social media magnifies the resonance of controversy, making it a digital popular culture phenomenon. This controversy not only impacts Sahroni's personal image but also has implications for the institutional delegitimization of the House of Representatives, further deepening the crisis of public trust. Thus, this study confirms that in political communication in the digital age, legitimacy is not only determined by substantive performance, but also by the way elites choose words and communication styles, as well as how their messages are perceived and reproduced in the media space.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how inflation and the Gini Ratio affect Indonesia's Human Development Index (HDI).Multiple linear regression using secondary data was used for the analysis.The results show that the HDI is negatively and significantly impacted by inflation, suggesting that rising inflation can lower the quality of human development by stifling people's purchasing power and restricting access to healthcare and education.Income inequality has not yet emerged as a major factor impacting HDI accomplishment during the study period, as seen by the Gini Ratio's lack of a substantial impact on the HDI.The HDI is significantly impacted by both independent variables at the same time, with the model accounting for 23.9% of the variation in the HDI and other factors influencing the remaining variation.These results emphasize how crucial inflation control measures are to promoting the enhancement of Indonesia's human development, especially with regard to food items and essentials.

Abstract

Entrepreneurial intention is a critical determinant of business venture sustainability, particularly among small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) owners. This study investigates the influence of social media, motivation, and creativity on entrepreneurial intention using the framework of Social Learning Theory. A quantitative research design was employed, with data collected through an online survey administered to 61 SME owners in South Tangerang, all of whom have operated their businesses for a minimum of three years and employed at least five staff members. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis via SPSS version 26. The findings demonstrate that social media exerts a positive and statistically significant effect on entrepreneurial intention, whereas motivation and creativity have no significant impact. From a theoretical perspective, this study contributes to the application of Social Learning Theory in the context of established entrepreneurship. Practically, the results underscore the strategic importance of social media as a tool for fostering entrepreneurial learning and community engagement, thereby enhancing the entrepreneurial intentions of experienced SME owners.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to the improvement of employee performance at the Local Public Broadcasting Institution (LPPL) Agropolitan Television, Batu Tourism City, East Java. This study focuses on the influence of interpersonal communication and workplace comfort on employee performance. A quantitative associative approach was employed to provide a comprehensive understanding of employee performance optimization at the LPPL Agropolitan Television. Respondents were selected using a saturated sampling method, involving all 40 employees whose performances were assessed. Data was analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method. The findings reveal that workplace comfort directly enhances employee performance, whereas interpersonal communication improves performance only when it first fosters workplace comfort. Furthermore, workplace comfort fully mediated the relationship between interpersonal communication and employee performance. It is recommended that the leadership of LPPL ATV and the Department of Communication and Information of Batu Tourism City continue to provide adequate facilities to create a comfortable working environment. Such efforts are essential to improving employee performance in alignment with the shared vision and mission of advancing sustainable tourism in the Greater Malang area.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategic role of women as pillars of economic growth within the framework of the Islamic economy in Indonesia. A mixed-method approach was employed that combined quantitative and qualitative techniques. The quantitative method utilized Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to measure the influence of women's variables on economic growth. Meanwhile, the qualitative approach adopted a literature review to analyze the structure of the Islamic economic framework in Indonesia. The results indicate that the Gender Development Index (GDI) significantly mediates and strengthens the influence of women-related indicators on economic growth. Women's education emerged as the most dominant factor, both directly and indirectly, followed by women's income. Meanwhile, female labor force participation and professional engagement exerted significant indirect effects on the GDI. These findings underscore the importance of inclusive gender-based development policies to support Indonesia’s sustainable economic growth. Furthermore, the analysis reveals that women’s involvement in economic sectors—particularly in the halal industry, Islamic microfinance, and the management of Islamic social funds such as zakat and waqf—has a significant impact on equitable and sustainable economic development. The Islamic economy provides a holistic value framework for empowering women as economic actors and agents of social transformation who maintain a balance between spiritual values and material progress. This study recommends the formulation of gender-inclusive Islamic macroeconomic policies and the enhancement of Islamic financial literacy and access for women. Thus, women’s empowerment in the Islamic economy is not merely a matter of equality but a strategic foundation for achieving just and sustainable national economic growth

Abstract

Pesantren is one of the oldest educational institutions in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze how social capital contributes to economic independence at Pesantren Aulia Cendekia in Palembang, Indonesia. This is due to limited funding sources and competition among educational institutions. Pesantren, as an institution with a unique educational program centered on religious teaching, uses social capital to maintain financial sustainability by utilizing business units within the institution. This study examines the assets of pesantren business units using Robert D. Putnam's social capital theory, which links social capital with economic independence. With a comprehensive and contextual approach, this study uses qualitative methodology and collects data through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results show that the economic success of pesantren depends not only on their tangible assets but also on the quality of connections, teamwork, and important figures such as ustadz. Using sustainable business units, such as managing productive waqf (Islamic endowment funds), establishing business incubators, and forming Micro Waqf Banks in collaboration with the government, Islamic boarding schools utilize their social capital, which includes alumni networks and trust. In addition to business units, the ustad also plays an important role in the sustainability of Islamic boarding schools in terms of their economic independence.
