Abstract

This study aims to examine the effects of self-efficacy and work–life balance on employee performance, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative research design employing a survey method was adopted. Data were collected using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire from 209 employees and analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS. The findings demonstrate that self-efficacy and work–life balance have positive and significant effects on job satisfaction. In addition, job satisfaction positively and significantly influences employee performance. The mediation analysis further confirms that job satisfaction significantly mediates the relationships between self-efficacy, work–life balance, and employee performance, indicating that employees with greater confidence in their abilities and a healthier balance between work and personal life tend to experience higher job satisfaction, which subsequently enhances their performance. These findings highlight the importance of fostering employees’ psychological resources and promoting supportive work environments to strengthen organizational outcomes. The study contributes to the human resource management literature by providing empirical evidence on the mechanism linking individual and organizational factors to employee performance and offers practical implications for designing effective strategies to improve employee well-being, satisfaction, and sustainable organizational performance.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the phenomenon of cultural diversity in an Islamic elementary school and to examine students’ social interactions as well as the school’s strategic role in fostering an inclusive multicultural environment. A qualitative case study design was employed involving 36 fifth-grade students from two classes. Data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews with school stakeholders, and document analysis, and were analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing with source triangulation to ensure credibility. The findings indicate that students and teachers demonstrated highly positive responses toward cultural diversity through openness, mutual respect, curiosity, and collaborative learning practices that strengthened intercultural understanding. These positive outcomes were reinforced by inclusive school policies, proactive leadership in promoting tolerance, and continuous teacher guidance that emphasized equality, respect, and national unity. The integration of these strategies created a harmonious learning environment where students from different cultural backgrounds interacted constructively without discrimination. The study implies that comprehensive multicultural leadership, supported by inclusive policies and culturally responsive teaching practices, can serve as an effective framework for promoting social cohesion, equitable learning opportunities, and sustainable multicultural education in diverse elementary school settings.

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate how university students use ChatGPT throughout the English writing process and how AI-assisted interaction influences their writing revisions. Using a qualitative inquiry, the study involved 30 university students who had used ChatGPT for English writing tasks at least three times. Data were collected asynchronously through pre- and post-ChatGPT writing drafts, structured reflection journals, prompt logs, and written follow-up responses from selected participants, and were analyzed thematically with triangulation to enhance trustworthiness. The findings revealed that students mainly used ChatGPT during the revising and editing stages rather than for idea generation. They engaged critically with AI-generated suggestions by selectively accepting or modifying them to preserve their own voice, examples, and contextual relevance. Draft comparisons showed an average increase of 14.3% in essay length, along with more developed sentences and conclusions, reflecting improvements in grammar, vocabulary, and organization. These findings suggest that ChatGPT functions as a supportive revision tool rather than a replacement for students' writing and provide implications for integrating generative AI into English writing instruction while promoting AI literacy and responsible AI use in higher education.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the effect of Kahoot-based interactive learning on students' learning outcomes in Qur'an-Hadith Education. A quantitative approach was employed using a One-Group Pretest–Posttest Design to evaluate changes in students' cognitive achievement before and after the implementation of Kahoot-based learning. The study involved 33 students, and data were collected through pretest and posttest assessments. Prior to hypothesis testing, the research instrument was confirmed to be reliable, with a Cronbach's Alpha coefficient of 0.826. The collected data were analyzed using normality, homogeneity, and paired-sample t-tests. The findings indicated that the data were normally distributed (p = 0.200 > 0.05) and homogeneous (p = 0.599 > 0.05). Furthermore, the paired-sample t-test revealed a statistically significant difference between the pretest and posttest scores (p < 0.001). Students' mean scores increased from 77.79 on the pretest to 85.30 on the posttest, demonstrating a significant improvement in learning outcomes following the intervention. These findings suggest that Kahoot-based interactive learning is an effective instructional strategy for enhancing students' cognitive achievement while fostering more engaging and student-centered learning experiences in Qur'an-Hadith Education. The study provides practical implications for integrating game-based digital learning into Islamic Religious Education to support more effective classroom instruction.

Abstract

Writing skills are an essential competency in Indonesian language learning; however, teaching observational report writing continues to face challenges, including low student engagement, limited understanding of the material, and difficulties in generating ideas. This study aimed to develop a multiliteracy-based flipbook and evaluate its feasibility, effectiveness, and students’ responses as a digital teaching material for observational report writing. The study employed a Research and Development approach using the Four-D model, consisting of the define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. Data were collected through expert validation, pretests, posttests, classroom observations, and student response questionnaires. The findings revealed that the flipbook achieved an average expert validation score of 89.59%, indicating that it was highly feasible for classroom implementation. Students’ average writing scores improved from 71 on the pretest to 84 on the posttest. In addition, teacher and student learning activities each reached 97%, categorized as very good, while student responses reached 81%, indicating positive acceptance. These findings suggest that the multiliteracy-based flipbook is a feasible and effective digital teaching material that enhances students’ writing skills, promotes active learning, and supports the integration of multiliteracy pedagogy in Indonesian language instruction.

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the thrifting phenomenon by examining how fashion trends, price, brand image, and consumer ethnocentrism shape purchase intention toward Indonesian local fashion products. This study employed a quantitative research design with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to consumers who had experience with thrift fashion products. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on predetermined criteria. The collected data were analyzed descriptively by calculating the mean score of each indicator and interpreting the results based on predefined scale intervals. The findings reveal that purchase intention toward local Indonesian fashion products is formed through a multidimensional evaluation process involving economic, symbolic, and emotional considerations. Price was identified as an important factor influencing thrift product attractiveness, while brand image showed a relatively moderate role in consumer decision-making. Meanwhile, consumer ethnocentrism demonstrated positive support for local fashion products without eliminating interest in thrift alternatives. This study implies that local fashion businesses should strengthen product quality, brand value, and consumer attachment to compete within the growing thrift fashion market. The findings contribute to a broader understanding of consumer behavior by highlighting the coexistence between thrift culture and local fashion preference.

Abstract

This study examines how Problem-Based Learning (PBL) in Islamic Religious Education (IRE) addresses adolescents’ socioreligious challenges. Indonesian Muslim students navigate digital misconduct, peer problems, and cultural tensions requiring moral judgment. Conventional text-centered instruction may provide normative knowledge without developing ethical reasoning, social responsibility, or religious resilience. A qualitative case study was conducted at a pesantren-based high school in East Java, Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, focus groups, and document analysis, thematically analyzed through condensation, display, and verification. First, PBL shifted students from memorizing religious texts toward contextual digital ethical reasoning. Students applied tabayyun and responsible speech to hoaxes, cyberbullying, online gambling, and social-media behavior. Second, PBL broadened piety from ritual observance toward empathy, inclusion, peer support, and environmental responsibility. Students interpreted ukhuwah Islamiyah as an obligation for care. Third, PBL created a safe space for discussing identity, popular culture, and relationships. Facilitated dialogue helped students resolve religious dissonance without abandoning Islamic principles. The study contributes a contextual-dialogic model integrating ethical reasoning, social piety, and religious resilience. Practically, it supports case-based curricula, facilitative teacher development, and student support.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of collaborative governance in supporting the continuation of strategic road infrastructure development, particularly in addressing land acquisition challenges involving multiple stakeholders. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. Data validity was ensured through source triangulation. The findings indicate that the collaborative governance process has been implemented through stakeholder dialogue, coordination, trust building, commitment, shared understanding, and intermediate collaborative outcomes. However, its implementation remains suboptimal due to limited public participation in decision-making, insufficient integration of inter-organizational coordination, the absence of formal agreements among stakeholders, and persistent administrative and land ownership issues affecting the land acquisition process. The study implies that strengthening institutional coordination, expanding meaningful public participation, and establishing formal collaborative mechanisms are essential to improving the effectiveness of collaborative governance and ensuring the successful implementation of strategic infrastructure development projects.
