Abstract

This study examines the impact of three critical factors—Digitalization of the Recruitment Process, Generational Diversity, and Use of Data Analysis Tools—on Workforce Quality in technology start-up companies in West Java. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 150 respondents with a Likert scale (1-5) and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM-PLS 3). The results indicate that all three factors positively influence workforce quality, with Generational Diversity having the most substantial effect. Specifically, the digitalization of recruitment processes enhances workforce quality by improving candidate selection, while data analysis tools contribute to informed decision-making in talent management. The findings highlight the importance of integrating digital technologies and fostering a diverse workforce to optimize workforce quality in start-up environments. The study provides actionable insights for practitioners seeking to improve workforce performance through technological and diversity initiatives.

Abstract

This study describes an emerging business model of carbon trade under REDD+ scheme arrangements by employing Artificial Intelligence (AI), satellite, and blockchain technology in the Bromo Tengger Semeru (BTS) forest protected area. An integrated methodology of GIS-based spatial analysis, stakeholder interview (qualitative), and pilot testing on blockchain was utilized for testing the viability of the model. Results indicate that AI and satellite integration improve the accuracy of carbon stock estimates and deforestation monitoring, while blockchain facilitates transparency and trust in carbon credit transactions. The study identifies the primary barriers, such as cost and capacity-building requirements, and also identifies the potential for scalability and consistency with global climate goals. The findings provide actionable suggestions for policymakers, investors, and environmental managers to enhance forest conservation and carbon market efficiency.

Abstract

Human trafficking has garnered significant global attention as one of the most pressing issues impacting hundreds of millions of individuals worldwide. It poses a severe threat to human rights and international security, necessitating urgent and coordinated responses. Examining this issue through the lens of liberalism in international relations underscores the shortcomings of global cooperation and institutional frameworks, particularly in upholding normative values designed to safeguard individual freedoms and promote global justice. Within contemporary migration discourse, human trafficking must be recognized as an integral component of the debate. Various international instruments, such as the United Nations Protocol on preventing, suppressing, and punishing trafficking in persons, along with regional agreements, reflect the liberalist ideal of institutional collaboration in combating these transnational crimes. However, the persistence of human trafficking in many countries can be attributed to weak governance, socio-economic disparities, and insufficient enforcement mechanisms, challenging the liberalist assumption that progressive cooperation naturally mitigates such issues. Civil society organizations and advocacy networks serve as influential lobbying entities, exerting pressure on governments to uphold international norms and implement effective anti-trafficking measures. These groups play a critical role in fostering education, empowerment, and cross-border cooperation to address the root causes of trafficking. From a liberalist perspective, the emphasis on eradicating human trafficking rests on the necessity of multilateral collaboration, the establishment of strong legal frameworks, and the reinforcement of shared global values. Ensuring the protection of individual freedoms is foundational in the broader strategy to eliminate human exploitation. This perspective highlights the intersection between normative commitments and practical mechanisms, emphasizing the need for comprehensive, coordinated efforts to confront one of the most urgent humanitarian crises of the 21st century.

Abstract

Growing numbers of Indonesian migrant workers in Japan have become an intrinsic part of Indonesia-Japan bilateral cooperation, particularly through the Indonesia-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (IJEPA). This essay examines the extent to which the rights of Indonesian workers are secured in this cooperation based on liberalism theory in international relations. Liberalism focuses much on interdependence, mutual gains, and institutional cooperation, which is seen in the controlled labor agreements between the two nations. Programs such as the Technical Intern Training Program (TITP) and the Specified Skilled Worker (SSW) scheme have encouraged skills development and economic growth for Indonesian workers in addition to alleviating Japan's labor shortages. Challenges exist, however, with issues of language, cultural adaptation, and workplace exploitation despite such controlled systems. Through response to these challenges, Indonesia and Japan have devised multi-layered associations with administrative units, business corporations, and Non-Government Organizations. Welfare services of employees fall under the ambit of organizations like the Japan International Corporation of Welfare Services (JICWELS) and the Association of Overseas Apprentices (AP2LN), whereas diplomatic interventions, such as performed by the Indonesian Consulate General of Osaka, complement preventive strategies. IJEPA is a legal framework for such collaboration, encouraging labor migration policies that respect the dignity and fair treatment of workers. This study underlines the necessity of continuous dialogue and policy enhancement to enhance the protection and economic contribution of Indonesian migrant workers in Japan. Strengthening cooperation in the liberal framework can also ensure that labor migration is a win-win element of Indonesia-Japan relations. Keywords: Indonesia-Japan cooperation, Indonesian migrant workers, Liberalism theory, IJEPA, worker protection

Abstract

This study evaluates customer satisfaction in business and e-commerce using sentiment analysis based on Indonesian Lexicon and TextBlob. The method used in this study is an explorative quantitative approach with sentiment analysis techniques that compare the Lexicon and TextBlob methods in processing customer review data. The analysis results show the dominance of the neutral sentiment category, with Lexicon producing around 1400 neutral reviews, 1000 positive reviews, and less than 200 negative reviews, while TextBlob shows more than 2000 neutral reviews with less than 500 positive reviews and almost no negative reviews. These findings reveal that the Lexicon method is more sensitive in detecting positive sentiment than TextBlob, which tends to be conservative. The implication of this study is the importance of choosing the right sentiment analysis method to improve customer service strategies. With an accuracy score of 78.52%, precision of 68.11%, and F1-Score of 63.54%, this analysis provides practical insights into how companies can effectively interpret customer sentiment to improve service quality and overall customer satisfaction.

Abstract

Zakat is a key Islamic institution designed to promote social welfare, as mandated in the Qur’an and Sunnah. However, in contemporary practice, zakat has not yet effectively addressed economic disparities within the Muslim community. Fazlur Rahman, a leading modern Islamic scholar, reinterprets zakat using the Double Movement method, aligning its objectives with present socio-economic realities and advocating its integration into fiscal policies, including its potential role as an Islamic tax system. Through library research on Rahman’s works and secondary sources, this study finds that zakat is fundamentally a divine mandate aimed at transforming mustahik (recipients) into muzakki (givers) through productive means, fostering economic self-sufficiency. Rahman views zakat as evolving from a purely spiritual obligation into a mechanism of social empowerment, historically administered from the time of Prophet Muhammad SAW to today as a tool for economic redistribution and justice. The study highlights the ideal moral implications of zakat in enhancing productivity and social welfare. Key aspects include effective zakat management, equitable distribution, timing, and measurement, which can be adapted to modern economic conditions. By implementing these principles, zakat can function as a sustainable instrument for economic empowerment, ensuring both spiritual and material prosperity within the Muslim community

Abstract

This study examines the impact of financial inclusion and financial literacy on improving the economic welfare of communities in Indonesia using a quantitative analysis approach. Data were collected from 70 respondents through a structured questionnaire employing a 1–5 Likert scale, and the relationships between variables were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3 software. The results demonstrate that financial inclusion significantly enhances economic welfare by increasing access to formal financial services and promoting financial stability. Financial literacy also positively affects economic welfare by equipping individuals with the knowledge and skills to make informed financial decisions. Moreover, the synergistic effect of financial inclusion and financial literacy produces the most substantial improvements in economic welfare, highlighting the need for integrated policies. These findings provide theoretical and practical implications, suggesting that policymakers should prioritize comprehensive strategies that combine access to financial services with financial education to foster sustainable economic development.
