Abstract

This study challenges the dominant “cultural persistence” paradigm in Global South sociology, which often portrays local communities as passive custodians of tradition under globalization. Focusing on the Patasiwa Putih community in Amahai, Eastern Indonesia, it examines how local identity is actively decolonized through dynamic local–global encounters. The study explores (1) the construction of identity through indigenous structures and symbols (2) its transformation under globalization, modernization, and digital technology, and (3) the strategies through which local actors negotiate and reconstruct identity. Employing a qualitative case study, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis involving customary leaders, community members, and youth. The analysis follows an interactive model supported by triangulation and member checking. Findings reveal that identity is not eroded but reflexively transformed through reinterpretation of cultural symbols, ritual revitalization, and selective adaptation to global influences. While rooted in customary institutions, identity expands through digital mediation and generational shifts, producing a dynamic interplay between continuity and change. This study advances a decolonial perspective by reframing identity as an active and emancipatory process and highlights island societies as critical sites of knowledge production in the Global South.

Abstract

This study examines the transformation of marriage practices in Tanimbar Island society, focusing on the shift from sacred ritual objects to monetary exchange and its implications for social relations, symbolic meanings, and cultural structures. It situates this transformation within the broader context of Global South sociology, questioning whether such changes reflect pragmatic adaptation to socio-economic pressures or deeper reconfigurations of kinship, status, and sacred values. A qualitative case study was conducted in Watidal Village, North Tanimbar District, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with customary leaders, married couples, and community members, supported by participant observation and document analysis. An interpretive analytical approach was employed to understand how local actors construct and negotiate meaning amid cultural change. The findings indicate that the monetization of ritual exchange is driven by intertwined economic and social factors, including resource constraints, efficiency, and shifting lifestyles. Rather than eliminating symbolic meaning, this transformation produces a hybrid cultural form in which monetary exchange acquires new symbolic significance, while the sacred dimension of traditional objects gradually weakens. This study contributes by conceptualizing monetization as a process of social reconfiguration rather than mere commodification. It concludes that Tanimbar marriage practices reflect an ongoing negotiation between tradition and modernity and recommends strengthening community-based engagement to sustain cultural values within changing socio-economic contexts.

Abstract

This article examines how morality is negotiated within clientelistic democratic practices in an archipelagic society of Eastern Indonesia. Moving beyond dominant political economy approaches that reduce clientelism to rational-instrumental exchange, the study analyzes the social embeddedness of political exchange, identifies the moral dilemmas experienced by political actors and citizens, and explains how local values interact with formal democratic norms to produce hybrid political practices. It also develops an analytical framework positioning morality as a mediating variable between rational action and social structure. Adopting a qualitative intrinsic case study in Namlea, Buru Regency, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis. The analysis follows an interactive model of data reduction, display, and iterative conclusion drawing, enabling an in-depth interpretation of moral negotiations in everyday political life. The findings reveal that social exchange is shaped not only by instrumental rationality but also by value-oriented, affective, and traditional rationalities. Political actors face dilemmas between adhering to democratic ideals and fulfilling socially embedded obligations, while communities exhibit moral ambivalence toward practices often labeled as violations. These dynamics produce a hybrid democratic order grounded in local moral economies. This study contributes by conceptualizing “negotiated morality,” integrating multiple theoretical perspectives, and foregrounding underrepresented island contexts in global sociology.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of leadership styles and employee competency on employee performance within a sub-district government office in Indonesia. It responds to persistent challenges in local public service delivery, including procedural inefficiencies, low timeliness, limited employee initiative, and inadequate adoption of participatory leadership and digital competencies. Employing a quantitative associative design, the study uses a saturated sampling technique involving all 25 employees. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression, supported by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The findings indicate that leadership style has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (β = 0.511; p < 0.05), while employee competency exerts a stronger and more significant influence (β = 0.618; p < 0.05). Simultaneously, both variables significantly predict performance, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.757, suggesting substantial explanatory power. These results highlight the critical role of competency, particularly technical and digital skills, in shaping performance within stable bureaucratic contexts. This study contributes to public administration literature by integrating leadership and competency perspectives within a micro-level governance setting and providing empirical evidence from an underexplored sub-district context in a developing country.

Abstract

This article examines the decolonization of gender roles by analyzing women’s embedded agency within family and livelihood systems in Nolloth Village, Indonesia. Challenging dominant global narratives that portray women as confined to domestic and marginalized roles, the study highlights the relational and context-specific dynamics of gender in a Global South island society. Using a qualitative intrinsic case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation of everyday economic practices among fishing and farming households. Thematic and interpretive analysis reveals that women occupy strategic positions across the entire production chain. In fisheries, they manage processing, distribution, and market exchange, while in subsistence agriculture they participate from cultivation to harvest. These roles are not perceived as subordination but as integral to collective household responsibility, providing women with social recognition and decision-making influence. The findings advance the concept of embedded agency, demonstrating how women’s power is enacted through integration within social and economic structures rather than overt resistance. By challenging rigid dichotomies such as domestic versus public and productive versus reproductive labor, this study contributes to decolonial sociology and feminist political economy, offering a context-sensitive framework for understanding gender in the Global South.

Abstract

This study examines platform capitalism and uneven digital transformation in social media–based property marketing in Indonesia, focusing on organizational constraints that shape marketing practices. While digital transformation is often framed as a linear path to efficiency and increased sales, this study argues that in the Global South it is inherently uneven, mediated by platform logics and internal organizational limitations. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving key informants from a property company in North Sumatra. Data were analyzed using an interactive model supported by triangulation. The findings show that social media platforms function not only as promotional tools but also as market infrastructures mediating early interactions between firms and consumers. Visual content operates as symbolic capital shaping consumer perception and engagement. However, digital marketing effectiveness is constrained by limited human resources, inadequate content production, and the absence of an integrated Customer Relationship Management system, resulting in fragmented implementation. This indicates that digital transformation remains partial and uneven at the organizational level, reinforcing dependence on platform algorithms. This study contributes by reconceptualizing digital marketing as a platform-mediated social practice and identifying organizational constraints as a key locus of digital inequality. It recommends strengthening digital capacity, integrated systems, and community-based digital literacy to support inclusive and sustainable development.

Abstract

This article examines the nature of homeless media in Law No. 40 of 1999 on the Press through the perspective of legal certainty theory. The research method used is normative legal research with legislative, conceptual, and comparative approaches. The results show that homeless media media entities that substantively perform journalistic functions but lack formal legal status under the Press Law are essentially entities experiencing normative dissonance: their functional capacity as journalistic actors exceeds the available legal recognition. This dissonance stems from three structural weaknesses in the Press Law: the institutional bias of the legal entity requirement in Article 9(2), the temporal limitations of the 1999 regulation, and the absence of a mechanism for gradual recognition. Using Fuller’s eight criteria of the “inner morality of law” as an analytical framework, this study identifies that these conditions violate the criteria of generality, clarity, and congruence, resulting in three-dimensional legal uncertainty: regarding rights, obligations, and dispute resolution forums. This study concludes that the issue of “homeless media” is fundamentally a regulatory failure to respond to the diversity of the digital media ecosystem, not merely a matter of non-compliance by media actors. A reformulation of the Press Law that prioritizes a recognition-based approach grounded in journalistic functions is an urgent constitutional necessity.

Abstract

Growing public awareness of healthy lifestyles and environmental sustainability has contributed to the increasing consumption of organic rice in Indonesia. However, consumers’ repurchase intention through e-commerce platforms remains relatively unstable. This study aims to analyze the influence of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, environmental concern, and health consciousness on consumers’ repurchase intention toward organic rice through e-commerce. This study employed a quantitative approach involving 100 respondents aged 30–55 years who had purchased organic rice through e-commerce at least twice in the past year. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results indicate that attitude, perceived behavioral control, environmental awareness, and Health Consciousness have a positive and significant effect on repurchase intention, whereas subjective norms do not have a significant effect. These findings suggest that repurchase intention is more influenced by internal factors than by external factors.

Abstract

Coastal areas in Eastern Indonesia possess significant ecological and economic potential through mangrove-based ecotourism development. Nevertheless, sustainable coastal tourism remains challenged by environmental degradation, limited community participation, weak institutional collaboration, and the persistent tension between environmental conservation and local livelihood needs. This study examines environmental governance practices and social participation in the development of sustainable coastal tourism in Waiheru Village, Ambon City. Employing a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews with village authorities, youth organizations, community leaders, coastal residents, visitors, and relevant stakeholders, as well as documentation of environmental policies and tourism initiatives. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation and member checking to ensure validity. The findings reveal that collaborative environmental governance enhances mangrove conservation and promotes sustainable coastal tourism through active community engagement. Youth organizations play a strategic role in mobilizing participation, strengthening environmental awareness, and reinforcing local social capital. In addition, village regulations and collective monitoring mechanisms contribute to ecosystem protection and local economic empowerment. This study offers a novel contribution by integrating environmental governance, social participation, and sustainable tourism into a community-based governance framework within the socio-cultural context of Eastern Indonesia.
