Abstract

Multilateral development organizations are increasingly expected to deliver effective results in environments characterized by uncertainty, complex stakeholder landscapes, and evolving policy priorities. Yet limited empirical evidence explains how internal organizational capabilities translate into perceived development effectiveness. This study examines whether the World Bank Group’s ability to sense stakeholder needs translates into effectiveness through the sequential activation of seizing and reconfiguring capabilities within the context of Indonesia’s development portfolio. Using stakeholder perception data from the Indonesia Country Opinion Survey and a serial mediation design, the analysis tests a theory-driven model in which sensing capability influences effectiveness through resource mobilization and adaptive partnership adjustment. Results reveal that sensing capability does not directly predict perceived effectiveness once mediating mechanisms are considered. Instead, its influence operates fully through indirect pathways. The dominant mechanism runs through seizing capability, indicating that the ability to deploy sector expertise across domains such as human capital, infrastructure, institutions, and sustainability constitutes the primary channel through which effectiveness is realized. Reconfiguring capability provides an additional but smaller contribution, reflecting the role of responsiveness and flexibility in sustaining alignment with evolving development needs. The full sequential pathway from sensing through seizing and reconfiguring to effectiveness is statistically supported, demonstrating that adaptation functions as an integrated process rather than a set of independent activities. These findings advance understanding of how dynamic organizational processes shape development outcomes and suggest that strengthening technical delivery capacity and institutional adaptability may be more consequential than investments in diagnostic capability alone. The study highlights the importance of examining internal capability mechanisms to better understand how development institutions convert environmental awareness into stakeholder-recognized results.

Abstract

This research argues that the basic principles of ESG are not new and can be interpreted through local wisdom. Discussions about ESG are often dominated by Western-centric approaches that fail to integrate local wisdom. This research draws on the Balinese Tri Hita Karana (THK) philosophy, which harmonizes the relationship between humans, God, others, and nature. The purpose of this research is to explore ESG concepts and practices based on local wisdom in Indonesia. This research can provide a more comprehensive understanding in developing ESG strategies that positively impact society and the environment, while maintaining sustainable relationships between companies and local communities. THK provides a more holistic and context-based sustainability framework by incorporating spiritual and cultural dimensions. The implementation of THK has been proven to enhance local economic diversification, cultural preservation, and stakeholder education, establishing a holistic sustainability benchmark for local, national, and global adaptation. To achieve its objectives, this study reviewed 10 local wisdom-based ESG articles with an Indonesian background. To identify relevant articles, the study evaluated the Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. This research focused on the ESG concept and its implementation based on Tri Hita Karana. The analysis revealed that ESG planning, implementation, and evaluation that consider local wisdom can result in sustainable ESG practices. This research will also assist future researchers in conducting local wisdom-based ESG research through the identified research gaps. Additionally, this study recommends collaborative and adaptive strategies for the government, industry, and community to further mainstream THK as a universal principle for inclusive and resilient sustainable business.

Abstract

This study examines visual artworks created by blind and low-vision artists through a sociology of art lens, focusing on two domains. The first concerns how artworks are produced through material strategies and community-based support networks. The second addresses how artworks are received and interpreted by the public, including reception biases that foreground disability as the primary narrative. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study draws on semi-structured interviews that were audio-recorded and transcribed, complemented by artifact analysis of documented artworks. The data were analyzed through thematic coding to map patterns of creative adaptation, forms of accompaniment and support, and mechanisms of legitimization through publication and exhibitions. The findings indicate that artistic production integrates residual visual-form memory in a low-vision artist who experienced vision loss during adolescence, tactile control, and material engineering such as the use of textures and clay to construct relief and enhance form readability. In terms of reception, the public frequently frames blind painting practice as “extraordinary” due to the assumption that visual art must rely primarily on sight, causing appreciation to shift toward emotional admiration. The study argues for a fair evaluative framework and curatorial mediation that re-centres interpretation on artistic decisions and production strategies, so that inclusive art moves beyond normative discourse toward evidence-based practice.
