Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of job rotation and work motivation on employee performance at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Lampung. The background of this research is based on the importance of employee performance in supporting the achievement of organizational goals, as well as the phenomenon of fluctuations in performance and employee discipline levels, where job rotation and work motivation are considered factors that have the potential to significantly influence employee performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with an associative method, and the population consists of all 70 employees of the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Lampung. The data analysis technique employs multiple linear regression using SPSS software, including classical assumption tests, t-test (partial), F-test (simultaneous), and coefficient of determination test (R²). The results show that partially, job rotation does not have a significant effect on employee performance (sig. 0.182 0.05), although it has a positive relationship direction, while work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (sig. 0.000 0.05) with a regression coefficient of 0.573, making it the dominant variable in this study. Simultaneously, job rotation and work motivation have a significant effect on employee performance with an F-value of 55.022 and a significance level of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.625 indicates that 62.5% of the variation in employee performance can be explained by these two variables, while the remaining is influenced by other factors outside this study. This research confirms that work motivation has a more dominant role than job rotation in improving employee performance.

Abstract

The implementation of the Smart Village program in Sugihwaras Village, Candi District, Sidoarjo Regency, adopts a bottom-up approach by utilizing local potential, initiatives, and innovations. This study aims to evaluate the implementation of the Smart Village program within the smart governance pillar by applying William N. Dunn’s policy evaluation framework. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings indicate that the program's effectiveness has not yet been optimal due to disparities in community digital literacy in using village-based digital services. In terms of efficiency, the use of information technology has accelerated administrative services; however, limitations in village officials' technical capacity remain a challenge. About adequacy, the program has succeeded in providing information and administrative services through the village website that support community needs. In terms of equity, digital village services are publicly accessible to the community. Regarding responsiveness, the village government has established complaint mechanisms and demonstrated responsiveness to community needs. Meanwhile, in terms of appropriateness, the program still requires improvement due to the limited and suboptimal assistance provided by the local government.

Abstract

This study examines the political branding of Gus Barra (Dr. H. Muhammad Al Barra, Lc., M.Hum.) as Deputy Regent of Mojokerto representing the santri (Islamic boarding school) community through content analysis of his Instagram account @gusbarra_. In an increasingly digital era, social media has become a pivotal instrument in political communication and the construction of public leaders' images. Gus Barra, as the son of a prominent kiai and an alumnus of Al-Azhar University in Cairo, leverages Instagram to build a political identity grounded in pesantren (Islamic boarding school) values. This research employs a qualitative approach with content analysis method applied to the Instagram feed @gusbarra_ uploaded between October 2022 and September 2023. Findings reveal that Gus Barra's political branding is constructed through three primary dimensions: (1) personality reflecting santri character, (2) appearance embodying Islamic identity, and (3) key political messages rooted in da'wah values and public service. The @gusbarra_ Instagram account presents memorable, meaningful, and engaging content consisting of highlights, reels, photos, and high-quality captions. This strategy successfully builds a positive image of Gus Barra as a young leader from the pesantren milieu who is inclusive, aspirational, and close to the people. This study is expected to serve as an academic contribution to the study of social media-based political communication in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of the internalization of religious values and the pesantren lifestyle on the control of consumptive behavior among Muslim university students in Surabaya. The research uses an associative quantitative approach with primary data collected through an online questionnaire. The sample consists of 153 respondents selected using purposive sampling from various universities in Surabaya. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 23. The results show that the internalization of religious values has a significant and negative effect on consumptive behavior (t = -3.363; sig. = 0.001), meaning that the higher the internalization of religious values, the lower the students’ consumptive behavior. Meanwhile, the pesantren lifestyle does not have a significant partial effect (t = -1.349; sig. = 0.179). However, simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect on consumptive behavior (F = 15.728; sig. 0.000) with a contribution of 17.3% (R² = 0.173). These findings imply that strengthening the continuous internalization of Islamic values is an important strategy in shaping moderate and responsible consumption patterns among Muslim students with pesantren backgrounds.

Abstract

This research is motivated by the initiative of the Surabaya City Government in providing safe, comfortable, and affordable public transportation services through the Suroboyo Bus Program to reduce the level of congestion. Although strategic, the implementation of this policy still faces major obstacles in the form of budget limitations that have a direct impact on fleet maintenance, the provision of bus stop facilities, and the development of service routes. In addition, the problem of long waiting times and low public literacy of operational mechanisms also hinder the achievement of targets. This study aims to describe the implementation of the Suroboyo Bus Program at the Surabaya City Transportation Agency using the George C. Edwards III model which includes communication variables, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure. The approach used is qualitative descriptive with data collection techniques through interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Data analysis is carried out systematically through the stages of reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the implementation of the program has not been optimal. In the aspect of communication, socialization has not reached all levels of society equally. From the dimension of resources, budget limitations are the dominant inhibiting factor for the quality of facilities and infrastructure. However, the implementing disposition shows a strong commitment and the bureaucratic structure has been supported by adequate Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs). The research concludes that the success of the program requires strengthening fiscal support, improving the quality of public facilities, and intensifying socialization massively to optimize the implementation of public transportation in the city of Surabaya in order to achieve the policy goals that have been set.

Abstract

This study aims to formulate a strategy for developing human resource (HR) competencies in the digital era, characterized by the rapid development of information and communication technology. These changes require HR to possess adaptive, innovative competencies, and the ability to master digital skills. However, in practice, there is still a skills gap between existing capabilities and the needs of the workplace, and the development methods implemented by organizations are suboptimal. This study used a qualitative, descriptive approach. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation, with informants selected using purposive sampling. Data analysis was carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, and its validity was tested through triangulation of sources and methods. The results of the study indicate that a comprehensive HR competency development strategy in the digital era requires competency mapping, the implementation of digital-based learning, strengthening leadership roles, and building a culture of continuous learning.

Abstract

This study examines the reconfiguration of education systems in the 21st century by emphasizing the interconnected roles of innovation, equity, and global transformation. The research employs a qualitative approach with a literature-based design to analyze contemporary educational shifts through academic publications and official government data. The findings reveal that educational innovation, particularly through digital technology integration and adaptive pedagogical models, serves as a primary catalyst for systemic transformation. However, disparities in access remain evident, as indicated by the significant decline in school participation rates from 99.19% among children aged 7–12 to 29.01% among young adults aged 19–23 in Indonesia, highlighting structural challenges in sustaining educational continuity. The study further identifies that global transformation has reshaped educational priorities, requiring institutions to incorporate 21st-century competencies, including critical thinking, digital literacy, and cross-cultural understanding. Despite progress in digital adoption, unequal infrastructure distribution and varying levels of institutional readiness continue to hinder inclusive implementation. The discussion underscores that successful education system reconfiguration requires a holistic and integrated approach involving policy alignment, capacity building, and technological accessibility. The study concludes that an adaptive, inclusive, and innovation-driven education system is essential for enhancing global competitiveness while reducing social inequalities. These findings contribute to the broader discourse on sustainable education development by providing a conceptual and empirical foundation for policymakers and educational institutions to design resilient and future-oriented systems.

Abstract

Discipline and learning motivation are two key factors that significantly determine the success of the educational process in schools. However, many schools, including SMA Negeri 1 Calang in Aceh Jaya Regency, face problems related to low levels of student discipline and learning enthusiasm. This phenomenon impacts the effectiveness of learning and students' academic achievement. Based on this condition, innovative managerial efforts from school principals are required to design strategies for student character development. One such approach is the implementation of a point system, a structured mechanism in which students receive positive or negative points based on their behavior and achievements. This study aims to examine the role of school principal management in designing and implementing the point system and to analyze its effectiveness in improving student discipline and learning motivation. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The subjects of the study include the school principal, guidance and counseling teachers, homeroom teachers, and students at SMA Negeri 1 Calang. The findings reveal that the school principal plays an active role in the planning, implementation, and evaluation of the point system by involving various school components. The point system proves effective in increasing students' awareness of the importance of discipline and provides psychological encouragement through rewards for positive behavior and achievements. The system also fosters a healthy competitive culture and strengthens students' overall character.
