Abstract

Background: This study examines the influence of training and motivation on employee performance through the mediating role of organizational culture. In today’s competitive business environment, fostering a strong organizational culture and motivating employees are essential for enhancing performance. Employee development through training and motivation plays a crucial role in shaping a productive and efficient workforce. Methods: A quantitative research design was employed, utilizing surveys to collect data from employees. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) was used to analyze the relationships between training, motivation, organizational culture, and employee performance. The study also investigated the mediating role of organizational culture in linking training and motivation to performance. Findings: The results indicate that both training and motivation positively influence organizational culture. Well-structured and frequent training programs contribute to a strong organizational culture, which in turn enhances employee performance. Likewise, motivation that fulfills employees' physiological, safety, social, esteem, and self-actualization needs reinforces organizational culture. The findings confirm that organizational culture partially mediates the relationship between training, motivation, and employee performance, underscoring its critical role in the effective implementation of training and motivational strategies. Conclusion: Training, motivation, and organizational culture are key determinants of employee performance. A well-implemented training program and effective motivational strategies, supported by a robust organizational culture, significantly contribute to workforce productivity. These findings highlight the importance of organizational policies that promote continuous training, employee motivation, and cultural development to drive performance and align with broader organizational goals. Novelty/Originality: This study advances the understanding of how organizational culture mediates the impact of training and motivation on employee performance. By integrating these factors within a unified analytical framework, this research provides valuable insights for organizations seeking to optimize workforce potential and improve overall performance.

Abstract

Background: Limited marketing literacy among youth often hinders the development of micro-enterprises and community-based entrepreneurship. To address this challenge, a community service initiative was carried out to educate young entrepreneurs on value-based sales promotion, particularly focusing on the strategic use of discounts. This study aims to evaluate the impact of educational outreach on sales promotion techniques—grounded in utilitarian motivation—on attitude change and behavioral intentions among youth within a local entrepreneurship community in urban Indonesia. Methods: The program involved interactive workshops for 50 youth participants from a community of aspiring entrepreneurs. The impact of the training was assessed through a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine the relationships between utilitarian motivation, attitudes toward promotional techniques, and entrepreneurial behavioral intentions. Findings: The results revealed that education on discount-based promotion significantly improved participants’ strategic understanding of value-driven marketing. Positive attitudes toward promotion techniques were found to mediate the influence of utilitarian motivation on the intention to start and grow a business. Conclusion: alue-based promotion education serves as an effective community empowerment strategy to enhance marketing literacy and economic resilience among youth. The program offers a replicable model for strengthening community business capacity and promoting sustainable livelihoods through practical marketing knowledge. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a novel contribution to community service literature by integrating consumer behavior theory into entrepreneurship education for youth empowerment. It bridges academic insight and practical outreach to foster inclusive, sustainable economic development at the grassroots level.

Abstract

Background: The Holistic School Field Introduction Program (Program Pengenalan Lapangan Persekolahan/PLP Holistik) is a collaborative initiative between higher education institutions and partner schools aimed at integrating educational theory, field practice, and school environment empowerment. This holistic approach aligns with previous studies emphasizing contextual learning, digital literacy, and environmental-based education in primary schools. This study aims to describe the implementation and impact of the Holistic PLP through environmental development and school digital transformation projects. Methods: This study employed a qualitative descriptive approach based on field practice, with data collected through observation, documentation, and participatory evaluation involving the school community. The program was implemented at SDN Rawu through stages of initial observation, project planning, implementation, maintenance, and evaluation, grounded in contextual learning and sustainable education theories. Findings: The results indicate that the recycled-material-based vertical garden was successfully developed and utilized as a contextual learning medium, while the digital library system based on SLiMS Bulian 9.0 improved book collection management efficiency by up to 60% and enhanced teachers’ and students’ digital literacy. These findings demonstrate that integrating contextual learning theory with technology-based practices positively impacts the learning environment without significant adverse effects. Conclusion: The Holistic PLP program effectively enhances school environmental quality, student teacher competencies, and the sustainable use of educational technology. Novelty/Originality of this article: The novelty of this study lies in the integration of environmentally friendly projects and digital library development within a single Holistic PLP framework at the primary school level, an approach that has been rarely explored in previous PLP implementations.

Abstract

Background: Contract farming has been widely recognized as a mechanism for improving smallholder farmers’ productivity, market access, and income stability. However, existing studies generally examine Contract Farming, Creating Shared Value (CSV), and Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) separately, resulting in limited understanding of how these approaches can be integrated within sustainable agribusiness partnerships. This study analyzes the implementation of community empowerment in Cavendish banana agribusiness through a cooperative-based contract farming model integrating CSV and ABCD principles. Method: A mixed method case study approach was employed involving 458 farmers affiliated with the Bina Sejahtera Cooperative in Pesawaran Regency, Indonesia. Data were collected through structured interviews, focus group discussions, field observations, and institutional documentation. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive comparative analysis based on before–after program indicators, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis to explore empowerment processes, partnership dynamics, and institutional development. Findings: The results indicate that the integration of CSV and ABCD within the contract farming system generated significant socio-economic and institutional benefits. Farmer productivity increased from 18–20 to 22–24 tons/ha/year (+15–20%), while seasonal income rose from IDR 18–22 million to IDR 23–28 million (+20–25%). Market access expanded from local traders to cooperative-based and export-oriented channels, reducing dependence on intermediaries and improving price stability. In addition, cooperative participation increased from 55% to 80% of active members, while adoption of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) improved from 40% to 715%. Conclusion: These outcomes demonstrate enhanced farmer capacity, stronger institutional performance, and improved agribusiness sustainability. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study proposes an integrative framework that combines CSV and ABCD within a cooperative-based contract farming system. The model demonstrates how market-oriented value creation and asset-based community empowerment can be simultaneously implemented to generate measurable economic, social, and institutional impacts, offering a replicable approach for inclusive and sustainable agribusiness development.

Abstract

Background: Nearly 98 million Indonesians lack formal financial access, with severe gaps in 3T regions (frontier, outermost, disadvantaged areas). Traditional banks cannot serve remote communities profitably. State-owned PT Pegadaian offers an alternative through collateral-based lending requiring no credit history, functioning as community financial infrastructure rather than purely commercial service. Digitalization initiatives mobile apps, agent networks, cloud infrastructure promise expanded reach, yet questions remain whether technology alone bridges access gaps or requires addressing infrastructure, literacy, and trust barriers. Methods: Systematic review following PRISMA 2020 guidelines analyzed 60 sources from Scopus AI searches (January 2026). Two complementary strategies identified 136 initial records; after removing 14 duplicates, 122 sources underwent systematic relevance screening using five-dimension scoring criteria. Sixty sources underwent thematic synthesis and bibliometric network analysis (VOSviewer 1.6.19). Findings: Three causal pathways emerged. The technology pathway shows digitalization contributes to broader fintech infrastructure, improving operational efficiency and service reliability. The economic pathway demonstrates digital access facilitates MSME credit acquisition and poverty reduction. The social pathway connects services to inclusion through literacy and trust, requiring complementary community-level interventions. Bibliometric analysis revealed six thematic clusters with Indonesia as central hub, but specific pawnshop mechanisms received limited scholarly attention confirming the research gap this review addresses. Conclusion: Pawnshop digitalization offers viable community service pathways but requires integrated approaches addressing infrastructure, literacy, product design, and governance simultaneously. State enterprises like Pegadaian are positioned to lead given public service mandates and extensive community networks. Novelty/Originality of this article: This is among the first systematic reviews examining pawnshop digitalization in Indonesia's 3T regions within an ESG integration framework. The dual methodology thematic synthesis and bibliometric analysis surfaces operational and socio-cultural barriers offering evidence-grounded guidance for policymakers and practitioners.

Abstract

Background: The quality of life of residents in rural areas remains a central concern of sustainable development. Community-based tourism (CBT) has emerged as a widely adopted strategy for improving rural livelihoods; however, the COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally reconfigured the economic, social, and environmental conditions within which CBT operates, necessitating a fresh synthesis of post-pandemic evidence. Methods: This systematic literature review (SLR) follows the PRISMA protocol and draws on 20 peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2025, retrieved from two databases, Scopus and the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Thematic Narrative Synthesis was employed as the analytical framework, guided by three Research Questions addressing research trends, quality of life indicators, and critical gaps. Findings: Research activity peaked in 2023, with a predominance of quantitative methods and study locations concentrated in Asia. Economic indicators (17 studies), social indicators (15 studies), and environmental indicators (12 studies) dominated the literature. While economic and social impacts were generally reported as positive, environmental outcomes revealed persistent tensions between tourism-driven economic gains and ecological degradation, a pattern inconsistent with the Triple Bottom Line framework underpinning this review. Psychological and subjective well-being dimensions remained largely underexamined. Conclusion: Existing research remains methodologically limited, predominantly cross-sectional, and geographically concentrated, leaving critical gaps in longitudinal, comparative, and psychologically-informed approaches. Future research should integrate mixed-methods and participatory designs to capture the multidimensional nature of residents' quality of life in the post-pandemic context. Novelty/Originality of this article: This review contributes a theoretically grounded synthesis, informed by Rural Development Theory, Livelihood Theory, and Triple Bottom Line sustainability, of post-pandemic CBT research, revealing structural tensions across sustainability dimensions and proposing practical directions for community practitioners, policymakers, and development agencies to ensure equitable and holistic tourism-driven well-being.

Abstract

Background: Student Community Service Program (Kuliah Kerja Mahasiswa-KKM) bridges universities with rural community needs in health, education, environmental management, and social development. Although participatory community service has been shown to improve public knowledge and behavior, evidence on integrated multidisciplinary KKM remains limited. This study analyzed the implementation of a multidisciplinary KKM program in Jayamekar Village from January to February 2026. Methods: A community-based participatory approach was implemented through free health screening, anti-bullying education, biopore training, pest and plant disease counseling, and road reflector installation, supported by school teaching, Qur'an teaching, handwashing campaigns, group exercise, educational competitions, and community events. Data were collected through participatory observation and activity documentation and analyzed descriptively. Findings: 38 residents participated in free health screening and demonstrated increased awareness of early disease detection and healthy lifestyles. More than 70 children showed improved learning motivation, literacy engagement, and understanding of positive social behavior. Environmental activities strengthened community knowledge of organic waste management, while road reflector installation enhanced perceived road safety. The integrated implementation also promoted active community participation and collaboration between university students and local residents. Conclusion: The multidisciplinary KKM program contributed to community empowerment by addressing interconnected health, education, environmental, and social issues through participatory engagement. However, the findings are limited by the descriptive design, single-village setting, and absence of quantitative outcome measures. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study provides empirical evidence on an integrated multidisciplinary KKM model that coordinates health, education, environmental, safety, and social empowerment initiatives within a participatory village-based community service program.

Abstract

Background: The fluctuating use of digital tools, especially artificial intelligence (AI), in higher education institutions has intensified concerns about learner protection, epistemic integrity, and academic autonomy, which underline the positioning of governance and innovation as opposing aims. Methods: This essay adopts a qualitative, conceptual research design grounded in library-based research and critical literature review, synthesizing interdisciplinary scholarship (e.g., education, ethics, information science, and educational technology). Discussion: The discussion argues that regulated access serves as an epistemic safeguard, that critical literacy is the central mechanism of governance, and that responsibility for effective tool use is collective and institutional. These conceptual insights help lay the groundwork for governance that enables responsible autonomy rather than restriction. Conclusion: Interestingly, participatory governance structures are essential for sustaining epistemic integrity while supporting educational innovation and also offer broader implications for community development and educational outreach initiatives by fostering critical engagement with digital technologies beyond higher education settings. Novelty/Originality of this article: The essay lies in reframing access governance as a form of epistemic stewardship that links regulated access to critical literacy in higher education and extends its relevance to broader educational and community contexts.
