Abstract

This study investigates the mediating roles of Quality of Work Life (QWL) and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in the relationship between workload and employee performance within the Public Works and Spatial Planning Office (PUPR) of Central Maluku Regency. Amid fluctuating employee performance from 2020 to 2024, organizational factors such as work environment and collaborative culture have emerged as potential determinants of employee outcomes. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 80 civil servants through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that workload significantly influences employee performance, with QWL acting as a significant mediator in this relationship. However, OCB does not significantly mediate the effect of workload on performance. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing QWL through supportive workplace policies to sustain employee performance under demanding workloads. This study contributes to public sector human resource management literature and offers practical insights for improving civil servant effectiveness through balanced workload management and workplace quality enhancement.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of the digital social media environment on academic and non-academic achievement among junior high school students at MTs Pembangunan Mandirancan, Kuningan Regency, Indonesia. Against the backdrop of increasing digital engagement among adolescents, this research addresses a gap in the literature by focusing on students at the MTs level—a group often overlooked in previous studies. Employing a quantitative associative explanatory approach, the study involved 100 students selected through stratified random sampling from a population of 255 active social media users. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale questionnaires and official academic documentation. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including Pearson correlation and multiple linear regression, were conducted using SPSS. The results reveal a moderate and statistically significant positive correlation between the digital social media environment and both academic achievement (r = 0.512, p < 0.01) and non-academic achievement (r = 0.478, p < 0.01). These findings suggest that, when used constructively, social media can support student learning, collaboration, and engagement in extracurricular activities. It is recommended that educators, parents, and policymakers promote digital literacy and responsible media use, integrating social media into learning strategies and school programs to foster critical thinking, creativity, and social competence among students.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of work flexibility and incentives on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable, focusing on Desk Collection employees at PT Swakarya Insan Mandiri Yogyakarta. Utilizing a quantitative approach, data were collected from 80 randomly selected employees out of a population of 321 using structured questionnaires measured on a Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the measurement and structural models. The results indicate that work flexibility positively and significantly affects performance, while incentives exert a significant negative effect, implying a potential mismatch between incentive systems and employee expectations. Job satisfaction significantly enhances performance and mediates the relationship between incentives and performance; however, it does not significantly mediate the relationship between work flexibility and performance. These findings suggest that while work flexibility directly improves performance, poorly structured incentive systems may reduce job satisfaction and hinder performance outcomes. The study offers theoretical contributions to the literature on human resource and performance management, while also providing practical implications for HR policy improvements related to flexible work arrangements and incentive structures.

Abstract

In the digital transformation era, website quality has become a key strategic element in enhancing customer experiences and fostering brand loyalty, particularly within the hospitality sector. This study investigates the impact of website quality on brand loyalty, with customer engagement behavior acting as a mediating variable. Drawing on empirical data from guests of Merapi Merbabu Hotel Yogyakarta, the research employs a quantitative, hypothesis-driven approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze relationships among key constructs: website quality, customer engagement behavior, and brand loyalty. The findings reveal that website quality has a significant direct effect on brand loyalty, and also positively influences customer engagement behavior, which in turn mediates the relationship between website quality and brand loyalty. This highlights the pivotal role of digital customer engagement in translating website excellence into long-term brand loyalty. The study provides both theoretical and practical implications, emphasizing the necessity for hotel management to continuously improve digital interface quality and foster interactive online experiences. These strategies are vital for strengthening emotional connections with customers and ensuring sustainable competitive advantage in the hospitality industry.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of implementing the Smart Tihamah mobile application on students’ savings participation and the ease of education fee (SPP) payments at MA Tihamah Putra. In the digital era, mobile financial applications are increasingly used by educational institutions to enhance financial efficiency, transparency, and convenience for students and parents. However, few empirical studies have specifically examined the role of educational mobile apps in improving financial behaviors and administrative efficiency at the secondary education level, particularly within Islamic schools. This research adopts a quantitative explanatory approach using structured questionnaires and school documentation to assess the effects of the application. The study sample comprises 100 students selected via stratified random sampling. Results reveal that the Smart Tihamah app significantly enhances both savings participation (R² = 0.56) and tuition payment convenience (R² = 0.61), with statistically significant t-test and F-test values supporting its effectiveness. The findings underscore the importance of digital innovation in promoting financial inclusion and operational improvement in education, while also identifying key contextual factors—such as digital literacy, user trust, and social support—that influence app adoption and impact. The study provides practical insights and theoretical contributions for the development and implementation of educational mobile financial systems aimed at improving student financial outcomes and institutional efficiency.

Abstract

This study investigates policy advocacy for the management of the Sunan Gunung Jati religious tourism area in Cirebon, focusing on the critical role of participatory communication and local actor engagement. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach through library research, the study analyzes scholarly literature and policy documents to understand how inclusive communication fosters community co-creation in policy planning, decision-making, and implementation. The findings reveal that participatory communication, rooted in Islamic community development principles, cultivates collective ownership and shared responsibility, essential for sustainable social transformation. The research highlights the indispensable function of diverse local actors—including religious leaders, youth groups, and NGOs—in mediating social dynamics such as conflicts of interest and resistance to change. Effective advocacy in this context demands context-sensitive communication strategies that balance cultural values, community aspirations, and policy objectives. This study concludes that strengthening community social capacity and clearly defining local actors' roles through holistic communication approaches are paramount for achieving efficient, equitable, and sustainable policy outcomes in culturally intricate environments. The insights offer valuable contributions for developing participatory policy advocacy theories and practices in Indonesia, particularly for religious tourism sites.

Abstract

This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of work engagement and organizational culture on employee performance, with job satisfaction examined as a mediating variable, in the context of the Regional Development Planning, Research, and Development Agency of Fakfak Regency, Indonesia. Employing a quantitative research design and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), data were collected from a saturated sample of 54 civil servants using validated survey instruments. The findings reveal that both work engagement and organizational culture have significant direct impacts on employee performance. However, job satisfaction does not significantly mediate these relationships, challenging prevailing assumptions in public sector performance theory. These results imply that enhancing employee performance in government institutions may be more effectively achieved through direct investments in engagement and organizational culture rather than relying solely on job satisfaction as a psychological intermediary. The study offers empirical contributions to public management literature and provides practical recommendations for local government agencies aiming to improve workforce productivity and strategic planning outcomes. Future research should explore alternative mediators or moderators and utilize longitudinal approaches to better capture the complexity of organizational dynamics.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of workload and work-life balance on organizational performance, with motivation as a mediating variable, among employees of PT Bank Woori Saudara 1906 Tbk, Region III (Central Java and D.I. Yogyakarta). The research is motivated by fluctuating employee performance appraisals observed between 2020 and 2024, with a notable increase in employees rated “Poor” and persistently low ratings of “Very Good.” Drawing upon Self-Determination Theory and Work-Family Border Theory, this study highlights workload, work-life balance, and motivation as key factors shaping employee performance. A quantitative approach with a causal associative survey design was employed, using Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to all 124 employees as part of a census sample. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) after conducting validity and reliability tests. The findings confirm that workload and work-life balance significantly affect organizational performance, both directly and indirectly through motivation. Properly managed workload and balanced personal-professional life contribute to higher focus, engagement, and productivity, while motivation acts as a critical psychological mechanism that enhances the positive effects of these factors.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of the work environment and work discipline on nurse performance, with motivation as a mediating variable, at “JIH” Hospital Yogyakarta. Nurses play a critical role in healthcare service delivery, making their performance a key determinant of hospital quality and patient satisfaction. Despite structured performance evaluations, challenges such as inconsistent responsiveness and disciplinary lapses remain. Previous research presents mixed findings on the effects of work environment and discipline, as well as the mediating role of motivation, suggesting the need for further empirical investigation within the unique context of sharia-based healthcare institutions. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 76 permanent nurses selected through simple random sampling and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that both work environment and work discipline have a positive and significant impact on nurse performance. Motivation significantly mediates these relationships, with work discipline contributing more strongly to motivational enhancement than the work environment. These findings highlight the importance of integrating effective disciplinary policies, supportive work environments, and strategic motivation management.
