Abstract

Speaking anxiety is one of the common problems experienced in the classroom learning process. This study aims to identify the level of students’ speaking anxiety and the factors causing speaking anxiety. This study was quantitative research with a descriptive quantitative design. Quantitative data were obtained through a questionnaire adapted from the Foreign Language Classroom Anxiety Scale (FLCAS), followed with qualitative data were collected through interviews. The population of this study consisted of fifth-semester students of the English Study Program, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Riau. The researcher used cluster sampling as the sampling technique, with three classes (5A, 5B, and 5C) as the sample, consisting of 115 students. The results of the study show that most students were at a relatively high level of anxiety, categorized as Anxious level. The findings indicate that anxiety was influenced by several factors, with fear of negative evaluation as the most dominant, followed by lack of understanding of the topic being discussed, lack of preparation, lack of confidence, and afraid of making mistakes.  This study concludes that speaking anxiety is an experience felt by students that not only influenced by linguistic aspects but also by psychological factors and the learning environment.

Abstract

The industrial development of East Cirebon has generated significant employment opportunities, yet has also given rise to a persistent informal phenomenon: illicit payments — known colloquially as suap or bribery — made to individuals claiming affiliation with company HR departments in order to secure employment. This study investigates the factors driving transaction-based recruitment practices in the East Cirebon industrial area, despite formal recruitment mechanisms regulated by both companies and the Regional Manpower Office (Disnaker). Employing a qualitative approach with thematic analysis (Braun & Clarke, 2006), four informants participated: one HR leader (HR-01) and three production workers (TK-01, TK-02, TK-03). Analysis generated four core themes: (1) dualism of formal-informal recruitment mechanisms; (2) structural drivers of transactional practices; (3) power relations among key actors; and (4) ethical perception and resistance to normalization. Key findings indicate that these practices are not caused by the absence of regulation, but by structural loopholes in their implementation, exacerbated by a severe labor supply-demand imbalance (ratio 1:10), economic pressures on both sides of the transaction, and community-level social norms. Policy recommendations are offered for companies, the Manpower Office, and future researchers.

Abstract

The presence of Jamaah Tabligh often elicits diverse responses, ranging from acceptance to resistance, driven by differences in religious traditions and preaching methods. However, a distinct phenomenon of strong social cohesion exists in Penanggungan Village, Maesan, Bondowoso, where the group is openly welcomed by a community predominantly rooted in Nahdlatul Ulama traditions. This study analyzes how social cohesion is constructed through interaction patterns and the process of community acceptance toward Jamaah Tabligh’s religious traditions within this rural setting. Utilizing a qualitative case study, data from participatory observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation were analyzed using the interactive model by Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña. The findings reveal that social cohesion manifests through harmonious interactions, including interpersonal communication, mosque-centric activities, jawlah, regular Islamic study sessions, and civic involvement. Community acceptance of these traditions evolves gradually, facilitated by continuous social interaction, the group's profound respect for local culture, adaptive communication, and exemplary daily conduct. Addressing a gap regarding the acceptance of transnational Islamic movements in rural areas with strong local traditions, this research highlights that social cohesion and acceptance are driven by interaction quality, cultural respect, and civic engagement rather than mere preaching content, ultimately fostering grassroots religious harmony.

Abstract

Watershed degradation contributes to increased peak discharge, erosion, and sedimentation in downstream areas. Forest and Land Rehabilitation (FLR) has become an important approach for restoring hydrological functions through increasing vegetation cover and controlling surface runoff. This study aimed to analyze the predicted impacts of FLR on peak discharge, erosion, and sedimentation in the Piloliyanga micro-catchment, Modelomo Watershed. The study employed a quantitative descriptive approach based on Geographic Information Systems (GIS), hydrological analysis, and land cover change simulation. Erosion analysis was conducted using the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE), while sedimentation was estimated using the Sediment Delivery Ratio (SDR) approach. The results showed that FLR has the potential to reduce peak discharge, erosion, and sedimentation through increased infiltration and vegetation interception. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of USLE, SDR, and land cover change simulation within a tropical micro-catchment watershed scale. The findings imply that watershed-based vegetative rehabilitation can improve hydrological stability and support land degradation control in the upstream area of the Modelomo Watershed.

Abstract

Digital transformation in human resource management has become an important strategy for organizations to improve work effectiveness, competitiveness, and organizational sustainability in the digital era. This study aims to analyze the influence of Artificial Intelligence Integration, Talent Development, and Organizational Sustainability on the Digital Transformation of Human Resource Management. The study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The study population is employees and management staff in several organizations and companies in Gorontalo Province that have implemented digital systems in HR management. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample size of 120 respondents. Data collection was carried out by distributing questionnaires using a Likert scale of 1–5. The data analysis technique used multiple linear regression analysis with the help of SPSS software. The results of the study indicate that Artificial Intelligence Integration, Talent Development, and Organizational Sustainability have a positive and significant effect on the Digital Transformation of Human Resource Management. The Artificial Intelligence Integration variable is the most dominant variable in influencing the digital transformation of HR. Furthermore, the coefficient of determination showed an R² value of 70.9%, indicating that the three independent variables were able to explain 70.9% of the influence on Digital Transformation of HR Management, while the remainder was influenced by other variables outside the study. This study implies that the success of an organization's digital transformation depends not only on technology, but also on the development of digital talent competencies and the organization's ability to build a sustainable and adaptive work system to technological change.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of perceptions of greenwashing and transparency in information disclosure on consumer trust in Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) products in Jakarta. Increasing environmental awareness among consumers has encouraged FMCG companies to adopt green marketing strategies; however, misleading environmental claims may reduce consumer confidence toward environmentally oriented products. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 150 respondents in Jakarta who had purchased FMCG products with environmental claims. Data were collected using questionnaires measured with a Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The results indicate that perceptions of greenwashing have a negative and significant effect on consumer trust, while transparency in information disclosure has a positive and significant effect on consumer trust. The findings demonstrate that consumers tend to distrust companies perceived as exaggerating or manipulating environmental claims, whereas transparent and honest sustainability communication strengthens consumer confidence. The study concludes that FMCG companies should avoid deceptive green marketing practices and improve transparency in environmental information disclosure to maintain and enhance consumer trust. These findings provide theoretical contributions to green marketing literature and practical implications for companies seeking to strengthen sustainability-based competitive advantages in urban consumer markets.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze tourists’ interest in visiting destinations around Ubud through perceptions of overtourism, preferences for alternative destinations, and the search for authentic experiences. The increasing concentration of tourists in major tourism destinations has generated various issues related to overcrowding, environmental pressure, and declining travel comfort, encouraging tourists to seek alternative tourism experiences outside mainstream destinations. This research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method involving 250 respondents consisting of domestic and international tourists who had visited or planned to visit destinations around Ubud, Bali. Data were collected through questionnaires using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The findings indicate that overtourism perception significantly influences tourists’ preference for alternative destinations and authentic experience seeking. Furthermore, preference for alternative destinations and authentic experience seeking were found to positively and significantly affect tourists’ visiting interest. The results suggest that tourists increasingly prefer destinations that offer lower crowd density, environmental comfort, cultural immersion, and meaningful tourism experiences. This study contributes to sustainable tourism literature by explaining the behavioral transformation of tourists in response to overtourism conditions in popular tourism destinations. The findings also provide practical implications for tourism destination managers and policymakers in developing sustainable tourism strategies through destination diversification and preservation of authentic local experiences in Bali tourism.

Abstract

There has been a growing attention in response to numerous multidimensional development challenges emerging within small island context such as vulnerability, geographic isolation, limited infrastructure, and high dependence on coastal and marine resources.  Governance has increasingly arisen as a crucial factor affecting sustainable economic development and community resilience in such island context. This study aims to systematically review the current literature on natural resource governance and sustainable economic development in small islands. In specific, the review examines major research themes, governance approaches, livelihood strategies, and rising research gaps within the literature. This study employed a protocol adopted from PRISMA-based systematic literature review approach using the Scopus database. A total of 1,216 publications were initially identified using predefined search strings, followed by screening and eligibility assessment procedures. 16 articles were included in the final analysis. The findings reveal four dominant themes within the literature: collaborative and multi-scalar governance, blue economy transitions, social capital and islandness, and integrated sustainability frameworks. The review further shows that co-management and decentralized governance approaches positively influence livelihood diversification, fisheries sustainability, tourism development, and community resilience. Fisheries and tourism remain the dominant economic sectors, while alternative livelihoods such as aquaculture, homestay management, and marine creative industries are increasingly promoted to strengthen local economic resilience. Nevertheless, persistent challenges remain significant concerns. This includes elite capture, governance inequality, tourism dependency, and limited quantitative evidence.

Abstract

Objectives – This study aims to examine and gain a deeper understanding of the implementation of ISAK 35 in Islamic boarding schools, as well as to explore stakeholders’ perspectives on the existing accountability practices within Islamic boarding schools. Research Methods – This study employs a qualitative research method using a case study approach at one of the major Islamic boarding schools on Lombok Island, Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. Findings – The findings of this study indicate that the Islamic boarding school has not fully recognized and implemented ISAK 35 in its financial reporting practices. The accountability practices applied by the Islamic boarding school are carried out based on the values, traditions, and management system upheld within the institution. Financial accountability is also adjusted to the needs and expectations of its stakeholders. Although stakeholders generally perceive the current accountability practices as adequate, there are still expectations for future improvements, particularly in terms of more systematic financial record-keeping and the adoption of more formal financial reporting standards such as ISAK 35. Originality – This study not only examines the implementation of ISAK 35 and the accountability practices within the Islamic boarding school, but also explores stakeholders’ perspectives regarding the current accountability practices and the type of accountability system they expect to be implemented in the future.

Abstract

Career personalization has emerged as an important research area in response to evolving workforce expectations, technological advancements, and the growing demand for individualized career development pathways. This study aims to examine the intellectual structure, research trends, and emerging themes within the field of career personalization through a bibliometric analysis of publications indexed in the Scopus database. Bibliographic data were analyzed using VOSviewer to perform co-occurrence, co-authorship, citation, and collaboration network analyses. The results indicate that research on career personalization has developed into an interdisciplinary field encompassing education, human resource management, employment, professional development, and artificial intelligence. Keyword mapping reveals that employment, personalization, learning systems, and professional aspects are the dominant themes, while recent studies increasingly focus on recommendation systems, predictive analytics, large language models, deep learning, and AI-enhanced career decision support. Collaboration analyses demonstrate growing international partnerships among researchers, institutions, and countries, highlighting the global relevance of the topic. Citation analysis further shows that foundational studies have primarily emphasized educational interest, personalized learning, career development, and work individualization, whereas contemporary research is increasingly driven by intelligent and data-driven approaches. The findings suggest a transition from traditional career management frameworks toward technology-enabled and highly personalized career ecosystems. This study contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive overview of the evolution of career personalization research and identifying promising directions for future investigations.
