Abstract

The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a cornerstone of Indonesia’s poverty reduction strategy, yet its success at the local level often depends on informal leadership. This study examines the role of grassroots women’s leadership in PKH implementation in Lumar District, Bengkayang Regency, West Kalimantan. While existing literature often views women solely as program beneficiaries, this research addresses a gap by analyzing women as active informal leaders who mediate policy and community participation in border regions. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with 12 participants (including PKH coordinators and group leaders), participant observation in Family Capacity Building Meetings (P2K2), and document analysis. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. Findings reveal that grassroots women perform four critical roles: socialization, mentoring, group organization, and advocacy. Their leadership is a primary driver for achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty) and SDG 5 (Gender Equality). The study concludes that strengthening the informal leadership capacity of women is essential for the sustainability of social protection programs in remote areas.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the relationship between Information and Communication Technology (ICT) capability and work culture on the performance of public senior high school teachers in Dharmasraya Regency. The study employed a quantitative approach with a correlational survey design. The research population consisted of 466 teachers, with a sample of 81 selected through proportional random sampling. Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had met validity and reliability requirements. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, prerequisite tests of analysis, product-moment correlation, and multiple correlation analysis. The results showed that: (1) there was a positive and significant relationship between ICT capability and teacher performance, with a correlation coefficient of 0.744; (2) there was a positive and significant relationship between work culture and teacher performance, with a correlation coefficient of 0.812; and (3) there was a positive and significant simultaneous relationship between ICT capability and work culture on teacher performance, with an R value of 0.760 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.577. These findings indicate that work culture has a stronger relationship with improving teacher performance than ICT capability. The implications of this study emphasize that improving teacher performance is not sufficient through technology training alone; it also requires strengthening the work culture, including discipline, responsibility, cooperation, and professional commitment. School principals need to build a collaborative work environment and integrate ICT utilization into teachers’ daily work habits. In addition, the education office needs to design teacher-quality improvement programs that balance the development of digital competence with work-culture enhancement. It can be concluded that the synergy between ICT capability and work culture is an important factor in achieving optimal and sustainable teacher performance in the digital era.

Abstract

Amidst the demands of Education 5.0, higher education institutions are faced with the challenge of data-based academic resource management. This study discusses the influence of expertise mapping on the career development of lecturers at Islamic universities in Indonesia, focusing on the case study at the Mandailing Natal State Islamic College. Using an explanatory sequential mix method design. Quantitative data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) v4.1.1.2, while qualitative data were analyzed using NVivo. The findings reveal that expertise mapping significantly influences lecturer career development, with a path coefficient β = 0.596, p < 0.001, R² = 0.355, indicating a moderate explanatory effect. In addition, expertise mapping contributes positively to teaching quality improvement and lecturer productivity in scientific publications. These findings highlight expertise mapping as a strategic data-driven academic resource management model that supports lecturer career advancement, strengthens institutional policy development, and aligns higher education governance with the objectives of Education 5.0 and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Abstract

This study examines the effects of interpersonal competence, work environment, and work discipline on teachers’ job satisfaction, with intrapersonal competence as a mediating variable, among 285 junior high school teachers in Muaro Jambi, Indonesia. A quantitative cross-sectional survey design was applied, and data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results indicate that work discipline (β = 0.336, p < 0.001), interpersonal competence (β = 0.430, p < 0.001), and work environment (β = 0.357, p < 0.001) have significant direct effects on job satisfaction. Intrapersonal competence also significantly affects job satisfaction (β = 0.241, p = 0.001) and mediates the relationships between work discipline (indirect β = 0.147, p = 0.001), interpersonal competence (indirect β = 0.115, p = 0.001), and work environment (indirect β = 0.106, p = 0.001). The model explains 88.2% of the variance in intrapersonal competence (R² = 0.882) and 83.0% of the variance in job satisfaction (R² = 0.830). These findings demonstrate that teachers’ job satisfaction is shaped not only by organizational conditions but also by intrapersonal competence. The study contributes theoretically by clarifying the mediating role of intrapersonal competence as a mechanism linking organizational and personal factors. The novelty lies in empirically combining three organizational predictors with intrapersonal mediation in the Indonesian junior high school context. Practical implications include enhancing workplace conditions, strengthening work discipline, and supporting teachers’ intrapersonal development. A limitation is the cross-sectional design, which does not permit causal conclusions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze whether the trade balances of each ASEAN 6 member country, in both intra- and global trade, can reach a steady state and converge among countries within the region. ASEAN 6 consists of ASEAN member countries with relatively large and developed economies. The data used is secondary panel data sourced from UNCTAD, ASYB, and BI. The analytical model will be selected by selecting the most appropriate method from the Common Fixed Effects Model (FEM) and the Random Effects Model (REM). The results showed that each ASEAN 6-member country reached a steady state in its trade balance, but at a different steady state for each member. This indicates that there is no convergent pattern in trade balances among the ASEAN 6 member countries. Even the disparity in the trade balance between these countries, both in intra- and global trade, shows divergent patterns among member countries within the region.

Abstract

Educational resource management has become a strategic factor in improving the academic quality and institutional performance of higher education institutions. However, many institutions continue to encounter challenges in optimizing human resources, facilities, financial management, and academic administration to support sustainable quality improvement. This study aims to examine the influence of educational resource management on the academic quality of higher education institutions. A quantitative research design was employed using a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires, observations, and documentation involving 150 respondents consisting of lecturers, administrative staff, and students from a higher education institution in North Sumatra, Indonesia. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and inferential analysis, including validity and reliability tests, normality testing, and simple linear regression analysis. The findings reveal that educational resource management has a positive and statistically significant effect on academic quality (β = 0.694, p < 0.001), explaining 44.4% of the variance in academic quality (R² = 0.444). Effective management of human resources, educational facilities, academic administration, and information technology contributes to improving teaching and learning quality, academic services, graduate competencies, and institutional competitiveness. These findings emphasize that systematic planning, efficient resource allocation, continuous evaluation, and the integration of quality assurance practices are essential for strengthening academic performance in higher education institutions. The study provides empirical evidence for institutional leaders and policymakers in developing effective educational resource management strategies to achieve sustainable academic quality improvement and meet national and international higher education quality standards. This study conducted in a single higher education institution in North Sumatra, Indonesia; therefore, the findings should be interpreted within this institutional context. Future studies involving multiple universities and broader institutional settings are recommended to improve the generalizability og the findings.

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a structural model explaining the quality of administrative services through transformational leadership, service motivation, and school organizational climate in public senior high schools. A quantitative causal design was employed involving 90 teachers from three public senior high schools in Padang City. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that the proposed model demonstrates substantial explanatory power (R² = 0.707), adequate predictive relevance (Q² > 0), and good model fit (SRMR = 0.091), suggesting that transformational leadership, service motivation, and school organizational climate collectively provide a robust framework for explaining administrative service quality. The novelty of this study lies in integrating these three organizational factors into a single structural model to explain administrative service quality. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of strengthening leadership practices, enhancing service motivation, and fostering a supportive organizational climate to improve the quality of administrative services in schools.

Abstract

Teacher discipline supports reliable instructional delivery, yet public elementary schools in Solok City continue to face problems involving punctuality, classroom presence, administrative completion, and compliance with professional duties. This study examined servant leadership, teacher motivation, and school culture as predictors of teacher discipline. A quantitative cross-sectional survey involved 221 teachers selected proportionally from 41 schools. Data were collected through four five-point Likert instruments containing 160 valid items. Reliability was strong, with Cronbach’s alpha values from .907 to .969. Separate regressions showed that servant leadership (β = .466), motivation (β = .613), and school culture (β = .289) each positively predicted discipline (p < .001). The combined model was significant, F(3, 217) = 51.893, p < .001, and explained 41.8% of the variance. Motivation remained the strongest positive predictor, followed by servant leadership, whereas school culture produced a negative partial coefficient after shared variance was controlled. The study offers an integrated model for teacher discipline in Indonesian primary education and indicates that school-culture effects require further mediation or multilevel analysis

Abstract

Illiteracy remains a significant educational challenge in Indonesia despite continuous improvements in educational access and national literacy initiatives. This study aims to systematically synthesize recent empirical evidence on the determinants of illiteracy, its multidimensional impacts, intervention strategies, and the effectiveness of literacy programs implemented in Indonesia. A Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was conducted following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Literature was retrieved using the Elicit academic search platform, with studies published between 2022 and 2026. After the screening and eligibility assessment, 28 studies were included in the qualitative synthesis. The findings indicate that illiteracy is influenced by interconnected individual, family, school, community, and policy-related factors. Beyond educational consequences, illiteracy negatively affects employment opportunities, social participation, health literacy, and human resource development. The reviewed studies identified five major categories of literacy interventions: technology-based, culture-based, instruction-based, policy/program-based, and materials-based strategies. Overall, the available evidence suggests that interventions integrating interactive learning, culturally relevant content, student-centered pedagogy, and collaboration among schools, families, communities, and government institutions tend to be more effective in improving literacy outcomes. However, the predominance of short-term intervention studies indicates the need for more longitudinal and large-scale research to strengthen the evidence base. This review suggests that sustainable literacy improvement is more likely to be achieved through comprehensive, context-sensitive, and multi-stakeholder approaches that address the diverse educational contexts across Indonesia.
