Abstract

This research focuses on analyzing leadership styles in increasing the involvement and performance of organizational members. Human resources, as the main asset in an organization, play a crucial role in achieving goals. Organizational success is highly dependent on the implementation of an effective leadership style, especially in the context of government organizations facing the challenges of bureaucratic reform. This research uses qualitative methods with a literature study approach to explore the relationship between transformational and democratic leadership styles and employee involvement and performance. The research results show that a transformational leadership style, with an approach to inspiring vision, emotional involvement, individual development, and intellectual stimulation, plays a significant role in creating a harmonious and productive work environment. Meanwhile, a democratic leadership style, which emphasizes active participation in decision making and appreciation of employees, can increase motivation and performance. The combination of these two leadership styles is effective in creating inclusive and innovative organizations. However, research also finds challenges in implementing leadership styles, such as lack of coordination, less firm decision making, and low employee awareness of responsibilities. Therefore, an integrative leadership strategy is needed to overcome these obstacles. This research provides recommendations for improving leadership competencies through effective communication, regular evaluations, and the development of relevant training programs. These findings are expected to contribute to more effective leadership practices in various organizational contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of remuneration on work ethic and employee performance at the State Islamic University of North Sumatra (UIN-SU). Remuneration as a form of financial compensation has an important role in encouraging employee morale and productivity. Nevertheless, performance improvement does not only depend on material incentives, but is also influenced by internal work values such as work ethic. This study uses a quantitative approach with Pearson's correlation technique and involves 45 structural employees as respondents. The main instrument used is a questionnaire that has gone through validity and reliability tests. The results showed that remuneration had a significant influence on work ethic with a correlation value of 0.304 (significant at the level of 5%). Meanwhile, remuneration also has a significant effect on employee performance with a correlation value of 0.553 (significant at the level of 1%). The most prominent finding was that work ethic had the most dominant influence on employee performance, with a correlation value of 0.887 (significant at the level of 1%). These results show that although remuneration is important as a motivational tool, work ethic has a greater role in determining employee overall performance. The implications of these findings emphasize the importance of developing a fair and transparent remuneration system, accompanied by a strong value building strategy and work culture. In the context of Islamic higher education institutions such as UIN-SU, a work ethic based on the value of worship and social responsibility needs to be strengthened in order to achieve optimal and sustainable performance.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between natural resources, poverty, and industrialisation in the context of economic development. Natural resources are often considered a key asset for development, but their suboptimal utilisation can exacerbate poverty and social inequality. This study analyses how the proper management of natural resources in industrialisation can be a driving force in eradicating poverty. Using theoretical approaches and case studies, it is found that natural resource-based industrialisation requires policies that support equitable distribution of output and environmental protection. The results show that synergies between wise use of natural resources, inclusive industrialisation policies, and poverty eradication strategies are essential to achieve sustainable development.

Abstract

Natural resources are an element of the environment that has important value in meeting human needs. Natural resource economics is concerned with the management, use, and conservation of resources, including renewable and non-renewable resources. According to experts, natural resources can be classified according to their materials, habitat, and recreational capabilities. It includes biological and abiotic resources, soil and water, renewable and non-renewable resources. Sustainable economic development requires careful use of natural resources, as overexploitation can damage the environment and affect the wellbeing of future generations. Despite sustainable management efforts, Indonesia still faces major challenges such as environmental damage, climate change, and social conflicts. Policies that pay attention to environmental sustainability allow Indonesia to maximize the economic benefits of its natural resources while maintaining ecological balance and community welfare.

Abstract

This study investigates the integration of artificial intelligence into human resource management within the context of Industry 4.0, focusing on its transformative role, challenges, and strategic implications. The primary objective is to explore how AI technologies influence recruitment, employee development, performance management, and organizational sustainability while addressing ethical and operational concerns. Using a literature review method, the research synthesizes insights from peer-reviewed journals, academic books, and reports published within the last five years, selected based on relevance, methodological rigor, and contribution to the discourse on AI-driven HRM. The findings reveal that AI enhances predictive capabilities in talent retention, enables personalized training pathways, and improves decision-making accuracy, yet it also introduces risks related to algorithmic bias, transparency, and employee resistance. The analysis emphasizes that successful AI adoption requires a hybrid approach that combines technological precision with human judgment, supported by robust governance frameworks and alignment with organizational culture. These results underscore the importance of adopting a multidisciplinary perspective to guide future research and practice, ensuring that AI integration in HRM contributes to sustainable, ethical, and human-centered organizational transformation in the era of Industry 4.0.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the intersections of artificial intelligence, wage dynamics, and work-life balance in the context of the e-commerce industry, with particular attention to how digital transformation reshapes human resource management practices. Using a literature review method, the research systematically analyzed peer-reviewed journal articles, academic books, and reputable reports published in the last five years, focusing on themes related to algorithmic management, compensation structures, and employee well-being. The findings highlight that AI contributes significantly to wage optimization, predictive workforce planning, and performance evaluation, thereby improving organizational efficiency and responsiveness. However, the results also reveal critical challenges such as algorithmic bias, wage inequity, heightened employee monitoring, and the potential erosion of boundaries between work and personal life. These insights underscore the dual role of AI as both an enabler of productivity and a source of ethical dilemmas within e-commerce workplaces. The study concludes that successful integration of AI requires balanced strategies that combine technological innovation with human-centered values, ensuring fairness, inclusivity, and sustainable work practices in the digital economy.

Abstract

This study discusses the Islamic economic thought of Abu Ubaid al-Qasim ibn Sallam (d. 224 AH/838 AD), one of the important figures in the classical Islamic intellectual tradition who made a major contribution to the formation of the concept of public finance and the distribution of wealth in Islam. The background of this research departs from the need to re-examine classical Islamic economic ideas that are relevant to contemporary economic issues, such as social inequality, distribution justice, and sharia-based fiscal policies. The purpose of this research is to examine in depth Abu Ubaid's thought as contained in his monumental work, Kitab al-Amwal, and to analyze its relevance to modern economic challenges. The method used in this study is a qualitative approach with the type of figure study, through a search of scientific literature obtained from Google Scholar and other credible academic sources. The data was analyzed using content analysis techniques, by examining the main themes in Abu Ubaid's work, such as zakat, kharaj, jizyah, baitul mal, and the principle of wealth distribution. The results of the study show that Abu Ubaid emphasizes the importance of social justice, economic equity, and the active role of the state in ensuring the welfare of the people through a fair public asset management system. His thinking is based on Islamic moral values which place wealth as a trust for the common good. In conclusion, Abu Ubaid's thoughts remain relevant in answering contemporary economic challenges, especially in building an Islamic economic system that is just, sustainable, and in favor of the welfare of the people.

Abstract

The principle of gharar is one of the important pillars in Islamic economics that functions to maintain justice, transparency, and certainty in every economic transaction. The prohibition against gharar is based on the hadith of the Prophet Muhammad which prohibits buying and selling that contains an element of uncertainty (bay' al-gharar). In the modern context, this principle faces serious challenges due to the development of the global economic system, the emergence of digital financial instruments, and complex technology-based business models. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the basic concepts and theoretical foundations of gharar, identify the challenges and regulations of its application in contemporary economic systems, and evaluate the implementation of anti-gharar principles in modern business practices. The method used is a qualitative approach with literature studies, with data searches through scientific sources on Google Scholar which include journals, books, and fatwas of the National Sharia Council of the Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI) related to gharar. The results of the study show that the gharar ban has strong relevance in maintaining economic stability and ethics in the midst of global business dynamics. Sharia regulations, such as the DSN-MUI fatwa, are an important instrument in ensuring compliance with this principle, especially in the Islamic banking, insurance, and fintech sectors . In conclusion, gharar is not just a normative prohibition, but a moral and legal guideline for building a fair, transparent, and sustainable business system in accordance with Islamic values.
