Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of digital collaboration, government support, and technology access on entrepreneurial interest among Generation Z in Sumbawa Regency. A quantitative approach was adopted, employing surveys and Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) analysis using SmartPLS 3.2.9. Primary data were collected from 100 Generation Z respondents (born 1997–2012) through an online Likert-scale questionnaire using purposive sampling. Measurement model evaluation confirmed convergent and discriminant validity, along with high instrument reliability. Structural model analysis revealed that technology access, digital collaboration, and government support significantly influenced entrepreneurial interest, with technology access being the most dominant predictor. These results highlight the importance of digital infrastructure in addressing geographical disparities, enhancing social influence via online networks, and reducing perceived risks through supportive policies. Practically, the findings provide guidance for stakeholders to modernize digital entrepreneurship programs, expand ICT infrastructure, and improve the dissemination of online policy initiatives. The study contributes theoretically by integrating the Theory of Planned Behavior with Social Cognitive Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model in a rural context. Limitations of the cross-sectional design suggest the need for longitudinal research to examine the dynamics of sustainable entrepreneurial behavior.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of the Project-Based Learning (PjBL) model on students' critical thinking skills, with collaborative ability acting as an intervening variable, in the context of the Merdeka Curriculum for the Database subject in vocational education. This research was conducted at SMKN 6 Kupang involving 60 eleventh-grade students of the Software and Game Development (PPLG) program. A quantitative approach was employed using path analysis to examine both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings of Model 1 indicate that the PjBL model has a significant positive effect on students' collaborative ability (β = 0.390, p < 0.05), explaining 15.2% of the variance. Furthermore, Model 2 reveals that the PjBL model significantly influences students' critical thinking skills both directly and indirectly through collaborative ability. Collaborative ability was found to have a significant effect on critical thinking skills and partially mediates the relationship between PjBL and critical thinking. These results suggest that PjBL not only directly enhances students' critical thinking skills but also strengthens them indirectly by fostering effective collaboration during project implementation. Therefore, the integration of PjBL in vocational learning, particularly in Database subjects, is effective in supporting the development of critical thinking and collaborative competencies required in 21st-century learning and the Merdeka Curriculum framework.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of Star Jump games on children’s gross motor skills from an educational management perspective, particularly in managing physical activity learning in early childhood education. A quantitative approach with a quasi-experimental nonequivalent control group design was employed, involving 28 children divided into experimental and control groups. Data were collected through structured observation using a gross motor skill assessment instrument focusing on body balance and movement accuracy, and analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test and the Mann–Whitney U Test. The results revealed a significant improvement in gross motor skills among children in the experimental group after the implementation of Star Jump games compared to the control group. These findings indicate that well-planned and systematically managed movement-based learning activities effectively enhance children’s balance and movement precision. From an educational management perspective, the study underscores the importance of organizing, implementing, and evaluating engaging physical activity programs to support gross motor development. Therefore, Star Jump games can be considered an effective and enjoyable alternative for managing physical activity learning in early childhood education.

Abstract

Quality education is vital for advancing societal progress, and the management of educational facilities and infrastructure plays a key role in enhancing learning outcomes. This study investigates the management and optimization of facilities at SMK Ma’arif NU 02 Kemiri Purworejo, focusing on its impact on student learning quality. The research aims to examine the processes of planning, utilization, maintenance, and optimization of educational facilities in a vocational setting. A qualitative approach was used, with data collected through structured interviews, direct observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that while the school has made progress in managing its facilities, issues such as uneven facility utilization, limited funding, and reactive maintenance persist. The optimization efforts, including priority-based facility allocation and resource rotation, align well with educational needs. However, challenges in needs-based planning and equitable facility distribution require improvement. This research contributes to the academic literature by emphasizing the strategic role of facility management in vocational education, offering practical insights for improving learning environments. Future studies could explore broader institutional contexts and incorporate quantitative methods to strengthen the findings.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of work efficiency, progress monitoring, and digital collaboration on employee performance within the context of digital transformation in a certification institution. The research aims to analyze both the partial and simultaneous influence of these three factors on employee performance during the transition to a digital-based work system. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method involving 40 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The findings reveal that, partially, work efficiency has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while progress monitoring and digital collaboration do not show a significant individual effect. However, simultaneously, all three variables significantly influence employee performance, indicating a strong explanatory power of the regression model. These results suggest that the success of digital transformation in certification institutions is primarily supported by improved work efficiency and the integrated implementation of digital management practices. The study implies that education and training institutions undergoing digital transformation should prioritize efficiency-oriented digital strategies while strengthening the synergy between monitoring systems and digital collaboration to enhance overall employee performance.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the gig economy has reshaped student employment patterns, particularly among final-year university students who must navigate competing academic and work demands. This study aims to explore how final-year students engaged in gig work experience and negotiate work–life balance within the context of higher education. Employing a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach, this study involved four final-year students participating in task-based or on-demand gig work. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and analyzed thematically to capture participants’ lived experiences. The findings indicate that work–life balance is perceived not as a stable or fixed state, but as a dynamic and situational process shaped by fluctuating academic workloads, job flexibility, and personal resource availability. Participants relied on psychosocial strategies such as time management, self-regulation, and social support to manage their dual roles. However, sustaining this balance often required significant personal sacrifices, including reduced rest and limited social engagement, which contributed to basic psychological need frustration and diminished well-being. These findings imply that higher education institutions need to reconsider student support systems by integrating flexible academic policies, psychosocial support services, and work-integrated learning frameworks to better accommodate the realities of student engagement in gig work.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of service quality and price fairness on customer loyalty, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable, within the context of service management. The study adopts a quantitative approach involving 100 repeat customers, selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4 software. The results demonstrate that service quality and price fairness have positive and significant effects on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Customer satisfaction also shows a significant positive effect on customer loyalty and partially mediates the relationships between service quality, price fairness, and customer loyalty. These findings highlight that customer satisfaction plays a strategic role in translating service performance and pricing fairness into long-term loyalty. From a managerial and educational perspective, the study implies that organizations should strengthen service quality through continuous staff training, service-learning practices, and human capital development to enhance employees’ service competencies. Additionally, fair pricing strategies supported by transparent communication and customer-oriented education are essential in fostering trust and sustainable customer loyalty in competitive service industries.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between work–study conflict and academic burnout among university students working as online motorcycle taxi drivers. The increasing participation of students in the gig economy presents new challenges in balancing academic responsibilities and work demands. Persistent role pressure arising from simultaneous academic and occupational obligations may lead to psychological strain and academic exhaustion. A quantitative correlational design was employed involving 117 working students selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a work–study conflict scale adapted from Markel and Frone and the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Student Survey (MBI-SS). Descriptive analysis indicated moderate levels of work–study conflict and academic burnout among respondents. Assumption testing confirmed data normality, allowing the use of parametric analysis. Pearson’s correlation analysis revealed a significant positive relationship between work–study conflict and academic burnout (r = 0.565; p < 0.001). This finding suggests that greater conflict between work and academic roles is associated with increased academic exhaustion, reduced learning engagement, and lower perceived academic competence. The results emphasise the importance of role management in supporting students’ academic well-being. This study provides empirical evidence from gig-economy student workers and recommends developing flexible academic policies and institutional support systems to reduce academic burnout.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the forms of student behavior management in schools and to explore how educational institutions transition from reactive disciplinary practices to positive, supportive approaches. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and document analysis. The findings indicate five main strategies employed by teachers: stern reprimands, standing punishments, cleaning tasks, verbal appreciation, and praise. The first three represent traditional, reactive disciplinary methods that effectively manage immediate classroom disruptions but have limited impact on fostering long-term behavioral awareness. In contrast, verbal appreciation and praise reflect the initial implementation of positive reinforcement, promoting students’ confidence, responsiveness, and cooperation. The imbalance between punishment and reward practices highlights the lack of structured behavior management policies and the need for systematic educational management. The study concludes that schools are gradually shifting toward a more humanistic and proactive approach to behavior management. The implications emphasize the importance of clear written guidelines, teacher training to enhance competence in positive disciplinary strategies, and the development of a supportive school culture that integrates social-emotional learning and leadership principles to strengthen overall classroom management.

Abstract

This study aims to examine work culture and bureaucratic ethics in public sector organizations from an educational management perspective. A qualitative approach was employed using a case study design to gain an in-depth understanding of ethical practices, organizational values, and professional behavior among civil servants. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that work culture and bureaucratic ethics have been generally implemented effectively, reflected in employees’ awareness of moral values such as professionalism, integrity, responsibility, public courtesy, and neutrality. Nevertheless, several challenges persist, particularly the limited internal supervision and insufficient socialization of the bureaucratic code of ethics. As a result, the implementation of ethical work culture remains inconsistent across organizational units and has not been fully internalized as individual professional behavior, instead relying heavily on hierarchical supervision. The study implies that strengthening educational management practices—such as ethical leadership, continuous professional development, and organizational learning—is essential to internalize work culture and bureaucratic ethics sustainably. These findings contribute to discussions on human resource development and ethical governance in public administration.
