Abstract

This study examines the effect of competence and work discipline on employee performance with job satisfaction as an intervening variable at the Department of Transportation, Agam Regency, West Sumatra. The research employed a quantitative design with a census sampling method, involving all 70 employees as respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.0 with the SEM–PLS approach. Results revealed that both competence and work discipline have significant positive effects on employee performance, with discipline emerging as the strongest direct predictor. Competence and discipline also positively influenced job satisfaction, which in turn significantly enhanced performance. Mediation analysis confirmed that job satisfaction partially mediated the relationship between competence and performance, as well as between discipline and performance, with stronger effects observed for discipline. These findings highlight that employee performance improvement requires not only technical competence and behavioral discipline but also psychological satisfaction at work. The study contributes theoretically by extending human resource management literature in the public sector and practically by offering actionable insights for policymakers to strengthen discipline systems, align competencies with job roles, and enhance satisfaction through recognition and career development.

Abstract

This research aims to predicting the delay of book return in the Airlangga University library by using machine learning algorithms. With the consideration of approximately 1600 circulation documents from January to December 2023, several algorithms including Naïve Bayes, Support Vector Machine (SVM), Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Neural Networks, and Gradient Boosting are utilized. The Naïve Bayes model prove to be the most effective model by 92.7% accuracy and 97.7% precision in predicting return delay. The analysis of feature importance has demonstrated that a handful of features, especially days overdue, loan duration, and return date, are the main predictive variables for delay prediction in book returns outcomes. From this study, the Naïve Bayes can be an effective predictor of book return delays in Airlangga University library in order to improve user satisfaction, potentially notifying user in advance and offering alternatives. This study provided a promising picture about machine learning applications in library management systems for practical resource allocation and service quality improvement related to book return delays.

Abstract

This study investigates the key determinants influencing the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the e-commerce sector and examines its impact on marketing performance. The research integrates the Technology–Organization–Environment (TOE) framework and the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explain the relationships among technological readiness, organizational support, environmental pressure, perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and AI adoption level. A quantitative approach employing Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) was conducted on 155 e-commerce SMEs operating in Jakarta, Indonesia. Empirical results reveal that technology, organization, and environment significantly affect perceived usefulness, which in turn strongly drives AI adoption. Perceived usefulness is identified as the most powerful determinant of adoption, whereas perceived ease of use exerts an indirect influence via usefulness perception. Furthermore, AI adoption has a positive and significant effect on marketing performance, particularly in enhancing digital campaign effectiveness, product innovation, and customer loyalty. The findings emphasize that internal readiness and external competitive pressures jointly foster AI-driven digital transformation within SMEs. The study provides both theoretical validation of the TOE–TAM integration and practical guidance for policymakers and business owners to design effective, ethical, and sustainable AI adoption strategies.

Abstract

In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) or test-tube babies is a form of ART that offers a solution for infertile couples. Trust in this program is very important, not only in medical personnel, but also in equipment and support services. This study aims to analyze the influence of digital marketing, knowledge sharing, and E-WOM on the intention to purchase IVF services through the mediating role of consumer trust. The data measurement technique used in the questionnaire to provide answers to each statement item is the 1-10 semantic differential scale. In this study, the data collection technique involves providing statements through Google Forms and disseminating them on social media. The data analysis technique used to draw conclusions from the study was the Structural Equation Model (SEM) approach using Smart PLS 3.2 software. This study found that digital marketing, knowledge sharing, and e-WOM have a positive and significant effect on consumer trust. Furthermore, digital marketing and e-WOM directly influence purchase intention in a positive and significant manner, while knowledge sharing does not significantly influence purchase intention directly. However, knowledge sharing can increase purchase intention through consumer trust. Consumer trust was also found to be a significant mediator in the relationship between digital marketing, knowledge sharing, and e-WOM with purchase intention.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh kualitas layanan dan citra destinasi terhadap kepuasan wisatawan pada UMKM di kawasan wisata Kereng Bangkirai, Palangkaraya. Latar belakang penelitian ini berangkat dari pentingnya peningkatan daya saing UMKM pariwisata yang tidak hanya bergantung pada produk, tetapi juga pada kualitas layanan dan persepsi pengunjung terhadap destinasi wisata. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan metode analisis regresi linier berganda. Sampel penelitian berjumlah 128 responden yang merupakan wisatawan yang telah berkunjung dan berinteraksi langsung dengan pelaku UMKM di kawasan wisata Kereng Bangkirai. Pengumpulan data dilakukan melalui kuesioner terstruktur yang mengukur tiga variabel utama, yaitu kualitas layanan, citra destinasi, dan kepuasan wisatawan. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial dan simultan kualitas layanan dan citra destinasi berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kepuasan wisatawan. Artinya, semakin baik mutu layanan yang diberikan oleh UMKM serta semakin kuat citra destinasi yang terbentuk di benak wisatawan, maka semakin tinggi pula tingkat kepuasan mereka terhadap pengalaman berwisata di Kereng Bangkirai. Uji asumsi klasik menunjukkan bahwa model penelitian memenuhi syarat normalitas, tidak terjadi multikolinearitas maupun autokorelasi. Hal ini membuktikan bahwa model regresi yang digunakan layak untuk menjelaskan hubungan antar variabel. Penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya peran sinergis antara kualitas layanan dan citra destinasi dalam meningkatkan daya saing dan keberlanjutan UMKM wisata berbasis komunitas di kawasan wisata alam Kereng Bangkirai Palangkaraya.

Abstract

This study aims to map publication trends, key themes, and the evolution of TL research referring to the chronological and thematic development of transformational leadership studies over time while integrating findings with relevant leadership theories. This research employs a bibliometric analysis of 92 publications indexed in Scopus (2020–2024). The keyword “transformational leadership” in the context of social organizations was mapped based on thematic clusters and annual evolution. The findings reveal a shift in TL research focus from classical themes such as job satisfaction and organizational commitment (2020–2021) toward contemporary topics such as innovation, knowledge sharing, organizational identification, and digital transformation (2023–2024). Keywords such as trust, employee engagement, and organizational performance dominate and act as mediators of organizational outcomes. Influential articles, including meta-analyses of TL and ethical leadership, studies on the mediating role of trust, knowledge management, and corporate social responsibility, strengthen the evidence of TL as a catalyst for trust, ethics, and social innovation. Cross-country analysis highlights that Pakistan, India, and Indonesia emphasize digital readiness, whereas the UK and Australia focus on psychological safety and burnout prevention.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menelaah hubungan antara waktu tunggu, fasilitas rumah sakit, dan loyalitas pasien dengan kepuasan pelayanan sebagai variabel mediasi pada pasien Poli Gigi RSUD Weda, Kabupaten Halmahera Tengah, Maluku Utara. Dengan pendekatan kuantitatif dan analisis jalur berbasis SmartPLS, sebanyak 77 responden dipilih menggunakan metode purposive sampling. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa fasilitas rumah sakit memiliki pengaruh signifikan terhadap kepuasan pelayanan dan loyalitas pasien, menegaskan pentingnya aspek kenyamanan dan kelengkapan fasilitas dalam membangun kepercayaan pasien. Sebaliknya, waktu tunggu tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kepuasan maupun loyalitas, menunjukkan bahwa toleransi pasien terhadap durasi pelayanan masih relatif tinggi selama mutu layanan tetap terjaga. Kepuasan pelayanan berpengaruh positif terhadap loyalitas pasien, meskipun pengaruh tersebut tidak signifikan secara statistik. Uji mediasi juga memperlihatkan bahwa kepuasan pelayanan belum mampu menjadi jembatan antara waktu tunggu dan fasilitas terhadap loyalitas pasien. Namun, secara simultan seluruh variabel menunjukkan kontribusi bersama yang signifikan terhadap loyalitas. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa peningkatan fasilitas dan pengalaman layanan yang konsisten menjadi strategi kunci dalam memperkuat loyalitas pasien, lebih dari sekadar efisiensi waktu tunggu.

Abstract

The development of Village-Owned Enterprises (VoE) has emerged as a strategic instrument in Indonesia's rural transformation. However, its effectiveness and success remain uneven. This study employed a mixed-methods approach, incorporating stakeholder analysis using the MACTOR (Matrix of Alliances and Conflicts, Tactics, Objectives, and Recommendations) method. Primary data were collected through in-depth interviews with ten actors representing the pentahelix collaboration, comprising government, academics, business sector, community, and media representatives. The analysis showed that government actors served as the main drivers. Pioneering VoEs and their communities still rely on external support, while advanced VoEs were more independent and influential. The most supported key objectives among actors were the improvement of managerial skills and the dissemination of best practices in VoE management, while green business initiatives still received limited attention. These findings confirm that the success of VoE development depends on institutional capacity and effective collaboration among actors involved in achieving village economic independence. They also highlight the importance of strengthening stakeholder collaboration to accelerate rural development by aligning economic empowerment with social welfare and environmental responsibility.

Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh disiplin kerja, beban kerja, dan kompetensi pegawai terhadap kinerja pegawai di Rumah Sakit Umum Daerah (RSUD) Weda Kabupaten Halmahera Tengah. Dengan menggunakan metode kuantitatif dan jumlah sampel sebanyak 149 responden, penelitian ini menguji hubungan antar variabel melalui analisis regresi linier berganda dengan bantuan program SPSS versi 25. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa secara parsial, variabel disiplin kerja tidak berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja pegawai (nilai Sig. = 0,131 > 0,05), sedangkan variabel beban kerja dan kompetensi pegawai berpengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja pegawai, dengan nilai Sig. masing-masing 0,000. Kompetensi pegawai terbukti menjadi faktor paling dominan dalam meningkatkan kinerja, dengan koefisien regresi sebesar 0,425 dan nilai t hitung sebesar 6,721. Secara simultan, hasil uji F menunjukkan nilai F hitung sebesar 44,890 lebih besar dari F tabel 2,67 dengan nilai signifikansi 0,000 < 0,05, yang berarti bahwa disiplin kerja, beban kerja, dan kompetensi pegawai secara bersama-sama berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja pegawai. Nilai koefisien determinasi (R²) sebesar 0,482 mengindikasikan bahwa ketiga variabel independen tersebut mampu menjelaskan 48,2% variasi dalam kinerja pegawai, sisanya 51,8% dipengaruhi oleh faktor lain di luar model. Hasil penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya pengelolaan beban kerja yang proporsional dan peningkatan kompetensi pegawai dalam upaya optimalisasi kinerja aparatur rumah sakit daerah.
