Abstract

This research explores diversity management strategies in multicultural organizations, addressing challenges and opportunities arising from cultural, ethnic, gender, and demographic differences. With globalization, workplaces are becoming increasingly diverse, offering benefits but also challenges. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through a literature review to analyze diversity management strategies in global organizations. The findings highlight major challenges such as intercultural conflict, implicit bias, and cross-cultural communication barriers. Effective strategies include diversity training, anti-discrimination policies, and fostering an inclusive work environment. Properly managed diversity enhances creativity, innovation, and decision-making while broadening an organization’s global market reach. Practically, organizations are advised to develop inclusiveness policies and provide diversity training to promote workplace harmony. Theoretically, this study enriches diversity management literature by presenting a new approach to addressing workplace diversity. Future research should focus on empirical studies to deepen understanding of strategy implementation across various organizational contexts.

Abstract

This article examines the strategic role of the younger generation in environmental preservation as a form of non-military national defense, with reference to the reflection of the 79th anniversary of Indonesia's Independence. This study uses literature reviews from various international sources indexed by Scopus and other reputable journals to explore the contribution of youth in environmental conservation and its relationship with national resilience. This article also discusses the methodology used in previous studies on youth and environmental conservation, as well as their impact on public policy. The method used is a literature review that focuses on the contribution of youth in environmental conservation programs and the use of green technology. The results of the study show that youth involvement is very important in strengthening national resilience, both through public policy, participation in conservation, and technological innovation. In addition, support from the private sector, NGOs, and the government is urgently needed to empower youth so that they can play an active role in strengthening national sovereignty and environmental sustainability. The research also highlights the great potential of the use of digital technology and social media to increase youth engagement in environmental movements and support the role of national defense.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of Baitul Maal wa Tamwil (BMT) as an Islamic microfinance institution in eliminating loan shark practices in communities, particularly in Java and Sumatra. Loan shark practices persist due to the ease and speed of loan disbursement, despite the high interest rates that entrap small communities in difficult-to-escape debt cycles. BMT offers a fair and interest-free Islamic financing solution based on profit-sharing principles and a more inclusive approach. This study discusses BMT’s financing strategies, such as lenient requirements, fast processing, and financial education programs designed to compete with loan sharks. The main findings indicate that BMT plays a significant role in providing fairer financing access to small communities and helping reduce their dependence on loan sharks. However, this study also reveals several challenges BMT faces, such as limited capital, strict regulations, and low financial literacy among the public. These challenges hinder BMT's ability to effectively compete with loan sharks in terms of speed and accessibility. The results of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening BMT’s capital, developing human resources, and innovating Islamic financing products so that BMT can play a more prominent role in eradicating loan shark practices in the community. With the right strategy and support from various stakeholders, BMT has great potential to continue growing as a more equitable and empowering financing solution.

Abstract

Children are often vulnerable to violence due to their limited knowledge and physical strength. The family, the environment, and the state must be responsible for the fulfillment of children's rights and child protection. The purpose of this study is to determine the suitability between the Family Learning Center (PUSPAGA) program and beneficiaries, the suitability between the PUSPAGA program and the implementing organization, and the suitability between beneficiaries and implementing organizations in an effort to implement the Child-Friendly City policy in the city of Surabaya through the PUSPAGA program. Through a descriptive qualitative method, this study provides an overview of the implementation of a program. This analysis is based on the indicators of the program implementation suitability model introduced by David C. Korten. The results of this study show that the PUSPAGA program has supported the implementation of the Child-Friendly City policy relatively well, but there are obstacles experienced due to the limitations of professional psychologists at PUSPAGA Balai RW (Rukun Warga) and the participation of the beneficiary community.
