Abstract

The Indonesian government envisions Government Technology (GovTech) as a key accelerator toward Vision 2045 for modern and inclusive public services. However, despite massive investments in digital infrastructure from the Palapa Ring to INA Digital the implementation reveals a paradox between digital ambition and institutional reality. This study aims to critically examine the structural challenges hindering Indonesia’s GovTech transformation. Using a qualitative literature review, data were thematically analyzed from government reports, academic publications, and industry research. The findings highlight three core paradoxes: (1) persistent governance deficits and institutional weaknesses that undermine digital reforms; (2) a severe digital talent gap that limits system resilience; and (3) deepening socioeconomic inequality caused by uneven digital inclusion and cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The study concludes that Indonesia’s GovTech transformation remains a dialectic between utopian aspiration and systemic constraint. Its success depends on shifting from technological determinism toward strengthening governance, institutional accountability, and human capital. The study contributes original insight by framing the “utopian paradox” as a conceptual lens to explain how weak institutions systematically distort digital modernization efforts.

Abstract

The high intensity of natural disasters in Pacet District positions the area as a priority for efforts in disaster safety and preparedness. This study aims to understand the strategies for delivering dakwah (Islamic preaching) messages that address the needs to foster a disaster-resilient and effective community through the Ngaji Bencana program. Using a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, the findings reveal that PC LPBI NU Mojokerto has successfully implemented disaster mitigation efforts by integrating local traditions, reactivating traditional knowledge, involving religious leaders, and utilizing social media in ways that align with Islamic preaching values. The study indicates that approaches rooted in local wisdom and religious involvement play a crucial role in raising community awareness. It recommends the necessity of long-term, multi-stakeholder engagement to uphold the sustainability and effevtivenness of the Ngaji Bencana initiative.

Abstract

The management of corporate zakat is becoming an increasingly essential part of the governance of Islamic philanthropic institutions, especially as CSR regulations and tax incentives strengthen their legal foundation and social legitimacy. This research is motivated by the need to understand how the Amil Zakat Institution, especially NU-Care LazisNU, responds to these external pressures and integrates zakat into sustainability strategies and institutional communication. A qualitative approach is employed through in-depth interviews with zakat managers, analysis of the institution's annual report, and a review of supporting documents to explore the institution's managerial practices, communication patterns, and partnerships. The results of the study indicate that CSR regulation is the primary factor ensuring that zakat management is conducted systematically, professionally, and with a long-term orientation. Tax incentives serve as an additional driver, strengthening institutions' capacity to expand social programs. NU-Care LazisNU employs a two-way communication model through digital media, annual reports, proposals, and cross-sector partnerships. Zakat is positioned as a strategic instrument that supports six program pillars: education, health, economy, da'wah, social welfare, and humanitarian aid. These findings confirm that corporate zakat has evolved into a modern governance practice that strengthens the moral legitimacy and social effectiveness of institutions

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the urgency of integrating psychological and affective dimensions into the competence of public communicators in the era of hyperreality, in which the boundaries between reality and its representations are increasingly blurred, thereby influencing how messages are produced, perceived, and interpreted. In a social context characterised by simulation and heightened emotional intensity, communicators' ability to manage affect is essential to ensure that messages are not only informative but also emotionally resonant. Employing a mixed-methods design with a sequential explanatory strategy, the quantitative phase involved 120 active public communicators—comprising influencers, journalists, public speakers, and PR/marketing practitioners—who were selected through purposive sampling. The Affective Communication Test (ACT) was used to assess affective communication capability, and the data were analysed descriptively to identify affective profiles and determine participants for the qualitative phase. The qualitative stage employed a phenomenological approach and was conducted through semi-structured interviews with 15 participants representing the highest and lowest ACT scores. These interviews explored their personal experiences interpreting, managing, and responding to affective dynamics in both digital and physical environments. The findings indicate that communicators with high ACT scores demonstrate more developed emotional awareness, more adaptive, audience-oriented strategies, and the capacity to cultivate meaningful resonance in hyperreal contexts. In contrast, communicators with lower scores tend to prioritise technical aspects of messaging while overlooking affective dynamics, thereby rendering their messages more vulnerable to loss of depth and meaning. This study recommends enhancing affective literacy and psychology-based training to develop public communication competencies. Theoretically, the findings contribute to the formulation of a grounded theory–based conceptual framework for understanding communicator competence in postmodern society.

Abstract

Women's empowerment is a crucial aspect of the strategic role of Islamic boarding schools, which encompasses women's contributions in education, politics, health, and the economy. This study aims to explore the dynamics of communication processes in women's empowerment at the Ngalah Islamic Boarding School in Kediri City and to formulate a communication model that captures these mechanisms. This study employs a qualitative case study approach and draws on Joseph A. Devito's communication model, which comprises the wheel, chain, circle, Y, and star models. Data was obtained through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of activities related to women's empowerment in the Pesantren environment. The results of the study show that the communication process used in women's empowerment in PP. Ngalah comprises three main models: the chain, wheel, and star models. The chain model is evident in the process of synchronising hierarchical information, such as in book recitation activities and routine meetings. The model is evident in the pattern of communication between the caregiver or central figure and the female students, mediated by Mauidloh Hasanah and health counselling. Meanwhile, model stars are seen in participatory and interactive communication patterns that develop in entrepreneurship training and skills programs. The combination of this third model reflects the communication strategy of Islamic boarding schools that are adaptive in empowering women holistically across the spiritual, social, and economic realms.
