Abstract

Employee performance is an important factor in determining the success of public organizations in delivering public services. One factor that is believed to influence employee performance is transformational leadership. This study aims to analyze the effect of transformational leadership. This study aims to analyze the effect of transformational leadership on employee performance at the Environmental Agency of Mataram City. This research employed a quantitative approach using an associative method. The population consisted of 528 employees, while 84 respondents were selected using the Slovin formula. Data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale and analyzed using simple linear regression with SPSS version 25. The results indicate that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, with a regression coefficient of 0.842, a t-value of 13.419, and a significance level of 0.000. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R Square) was 0.687, indicating that transformational leadership explains 68.7% of the variation in employee performance. These findings demonstrate that better implementation of transformational leadership leads to higher employee performance at the Environmental Agency of Mataram City.

Abstract

During the welding process, the metal will experience a thermal cycle, which is a rapid heating and cooling process in the welding area that causes a metallurgical process, the deformation that occurs will affect the results of the welding such as the type of defects produced, joint strength, tensile strength and metal microstructure (Teguh Wiyono, 2012). This study aims to determine the effect of welding current variations on the tensile strength of A36 carbon steel welds with the SMAW welding technique. From the results of the data processing obtained, it can be concluded that the highest tensile strength is found in the SMAW connection of ASTM A36 steel plates using a current of 140 A with a value of 448.3 Kgf/mm2. The lowest tensile strength is found in the SMAW connection of ASTM A36 steel plates using a current of 100 A with a value of 63.18 Kgf/mm2. And from testing 6 specimens using three (3) different types of current strength, it can be concluded that the greater the current strength value will produce a high tensile test value.

Abstract

The development of digital technology has provided students with easier access to information; however, it has also created various challenges in the learning process, one of which is the disruption of learning concentration. This study aims to analyze the forms of learning concentration disruption among elementary school students, identify the factors influencing it, and formulate reinforcement strategies based on Islamic Education to address the issue. The research employed a qualitative approach with a field research design conducted at SD Negeri Kampung Tampang. The research participants consisted of the principal, Islamic Education teachers, homeroom teachers, parents, and students. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that disruptions in students’ learning concentration were characterized by a lack of focus during lessons, a tendency to chat while teachers were explaining, playing during learning activities, and a lack of responsibility in completing school assignments. Factors contributing to this condition included uncontrolled gadget use, insufficient parental supervision, weak communication between parents and the school, peer influence, and low learning discipline among students. Islamic Education-based strategies that can be implemented include strengthening “adab al-muta'allim” (student ethics), cultivating the value of “muraqabah” (self-awareness of God's supervision), applying “ta'dib” through teachers’ role modeling, and reinforcing partnerships between families and schools. These strategies are expected to enhance students’ learning concentration, discipline, and sense of responsibility in facing the challenges of the digital era.

Abstract

The implementation of decentralization policies in Indonesia following the 1998 Reform Era was intended to bring public services closer to citizens and strengthen local participation in decision-making processes. However, decentralization has also given rise to the phenomenon of local oligarchy, characterized by the concentration of political and economic power in the hands of a small group of regional elites. This study aims to analyze how decentralization creates opportunities for local elites to capture public policy and to identify the factors that facilitate such dominance. The research employs a qualitative approach using a case study method to examine the relationships among political actors, bureaucratic institutions, and economic interest groups in local policymaking processes. The findings reveal that weak institutional accountability, clientelistic practices, and elite control over strategic resources are the primary factors reinforcing local oligarchy. As a consequence, public policies tend to serve elite interests rather than the broader interests of society. Therefore, strengthening transparent, accountable, and participatory governance is essential to reducing elite domination within decentralized political systems. The study highlights the need for institutional reforms that promote democratic governance and ensure that public policy remains responsive to citizens’ needs and aspirations.

Abstract

This study aimed to describe the strategic management practices implemented by school principals in enhancing teacher performance in Early Childhood Education (ECE) institutions, particularly at TK Negeri Pembina Bangil. The study was motivated by the crucial role of school principals as instructional leaders in creating a conducive working environment and fostering teachers’ professional growth and performance. A qualitative approach with a case study design was employed. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, which consists of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings revealed that the principal performed multiple roles as an instructional leader, resource manager, supervisor, motivator, and facilitator in improving teacher performance. Several strategic practices were implemented, including continuous professional development, clinical supervision, the establishment of a collaborative culture, the integration of educational technology, and the provision of rewards and recognition for outstanding performance. These strategies positively contributed to improving teachers’ pedagogical and professional competencies, work motivation, instructional quality, job satisfaction, and children's developmental outcomes. The study concludes that sustainable strategic management practices implemented by school principals play a significant role in strengthening teacher performance and enhancing the overall quality of early childhood education.

Abstract

Knowledge and motivation are the main pillars of educational success; within the context of Islamic education, learning motivation contributes not only to academic achievement but also to the formation of faith and moral character. This article explores the concept of educational motivation as presented in the Qur’an and the Prophet’s hadiths, and its implications for modern educational practice. The research method is library research and textual analysis of classical and contemporary sources concerning Qur’anic verses (QS. Al-‘Alaq, Al-Mujadalah, At-Taubah, Az-Zumar) and hadiths related to the virtue of knowledge, the obligation to seek knowledge, and tafaqquh fiddin (deep understanding of religion). Findings indicate that Islamic sources provide a strong normative foundation for learning motivation that encompasses spiritual, moral, social, and cognitive dimensions; recommended motivational strategies include instilling the values of tawhid, teacher role-modeling, use of inspirational narratives, targhib wa tarhib (encouragement and warning), and integration of literacy and research into learning. Contemporary implementation is recommended through integration of faith and knowledge in the curriculum, strengthening literacy and research culture, development of higher-order thinking skills (HOTS), inclusive educational services, and prudent use of digital technology to foster students’ intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. This study affirms that a pedagogical approach that combines normative-religious elements with modern educational practices can address the crisis of motivation in learning and shape a knowledgeable and virtuous generation.

Abstract

This study examines the representation of divinity in Erna Suminar’s Sufi poems Mahakarya Ilahi, Pesan Rahasia, and Karena Engkau using Roland Barthes’ semiotic perspective. The research is motivated by the importance of understanding how religious and spiritual meanings are constructed through poetic symbols in contemporary Indonesian literature. The objective of this study is to describe the denotative, connotative, and mythical meanings that construct representations of God in the selected poems. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with Roland Barthes’ semiotic approach. The data source was Pertemuan Antologi Puisi Sufistik by Erna Suminar, while the data consisted of words, phrases, and poetic expressions containing signs related to divinity. Data were collected through reading and note-taking techniques and analyzed through the stages of denotation, connotation, and myth. The findings reveal that the representation of divinity is constructed through various symbolic systems. In Mahakarya Ilahi, God is represented as the Creator and the source of human existence through artistic symbols. In Pesan Rahasia, God is portrayed as a refuge, a source of inner peace, and the destination of spiritual longing through symbols of secrecy and communication. In Karena Engkau, God is represented as the source of beauty, compassion, and power manifested through nature and human spiritual experiences. At the mythical level, the three poems construct the belief that humans can discover meaning, peace, and spiritual awareness through their relationship with God. These findings demonstrate that divinity in Erna Suminar’s poetry is represented as the center of existence, spirituality, and human life.

Abstract

This study aims to examine KRESNA (Responsive and Synergistic Communication between Officials and the Community), a communication innovation implemented as a governmental communication tool in Kanigaran Subdistrict, Probolinggo City, given that communication between subdistrict officials and the community often remains formalistic and unresponsive, potentially creating information gaps and low public participation. The study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach to gain an in-depth understanding of the implementation of the KRESNA Forum based on the perspectives of subdistrict officials, the head of the neighborhood association (RW), and the subdistrict head (Lurah). The findings show that KRESNA functions effectively through four main aspects: the clarity of information delivered in detail through two-way communication, openness in conveying service procedures, officials' empathetic attitude in responding to community aspirations, and officials' ability to adapt messages to the community's diverse social and cultural backgrounds. This success is supported by harmonious cooperation among the subdistrict government, RW/RT leaders, and the community, as well as the continuously developed competence of subdistrict officials, although internal barriers such as limited facilities and heavy workloads, and external barriers such as uneven community participation, were still found. The study concludes that KRESNA represents a concrete form of responsive and participatory governmental communication, though strengthening outreach and supporting facilities is still needed to optimize its effectiveness.
