Abstract

This study aims to explore how textile factory employees perceive and experience job insecurity amid the ongoing uncertainty in the national textile industry through mid-2026. Using a qualitative case study approach with a phenomenological orientation, semi-structured interviews were conducted with six production-line employees, consisting of production operators, quality control staff, and a mechanic, at a garment company in the Bawen industrial area, Semarang Regency. The data were analyzed thematically and triangulated across informants holding different positions. Findings show that job insecurity is experienced as multidimensional, encompassing threats to job continuity as well as to job features such as overtime hours, salary certainty, and benefits. This condition affects employees' daily focus and morale, although its intensity varies across individuals, with personal resources and perceived management openness appearing to buffer the impact. In response, employees develop self-initiated coping strategies, such as saving money and starting small side businesses, while continuing to expect open communication and training from management. These findings offer practical input for human resource management in designing more responsive communication and support strategies during periods of uncertainty, while also enriching organizational behavior literature on job insecurity experiences in labor-intensive manufacturing.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of customary obligations on the household financial management of tourism Tongkonan owners in North Toraja and its implications for Family Economic Sustainability. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method of 50 tourism Tongkonan owners in Palawa Tourism Village and Ke'te Kesu. Data were collected using questionnaires and analyzed through validity, reliability, normality, regression, determination coefficient, and hypothesis testing. The results of the study showed that customary obligations had a positive and significant effect on household financial management with a regression coefficient of 0.884, a value of t = 7.283, and p < 0.001. Customary obligations were able to explain 52.5% of the variation in household financial management. Furthermore, customary obligations had a positive and significant effect on Family Economic Sustainability (B = 0.362; p = 0.003), while household financial management also had a positive and significant effect on Family Economic Sustainability (B = 0.347; p = 0.001). Simultaneously, the two variables were able to explain 64.9% of the variation  in Family Economic Sustainability. These findings show that customary obligations are not solely socio-cultural demands, but can encourage families to plan, allocate and control financial resources in a more structured manner. The management of customary obligations balanced with good household financial management plays an important role in supporting the economic sustainability of families who own tourism Tongkonan.
