Abstract

Purpose – This study explores the relationship between entrepreneurial leadership, school culture, and teachers' creativity within public senior secondary schools in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research aims to determine whether entrepreneurial leadership directly influences teacher creativity or whether its impact is mediated through the school culture. Methods/Design/Approach – A quantitative survey methodology was employed, collecting data from 136 teachers across multiple schools in Yogyakarta. Structural Equation Modelling Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was used to analyze the relationships between the variables, including entrepreneurial leadership, school culture, and teachers' creativity. Findings – The results reveal that entrepreneurial leadership does not directly enhance teachers' creativity within the studied context. However, entrepreneurial leadership significantly contributes to a conducive school culture, which in turn positively impacts teachers' creativity. The study identifies school culture as a critical mediator, suggesting that the influence of entrepreneurial leadership on creativity is indirect and operates primarily through the development of a supportive environment. Originality/Value – This study provides new insights into the applicability of entrepreneurial leadership in educational settings, particularly in Indonesia. It challenges the assumption that entrepreneurial leadership directly fosters creativity and underscores the importance of school culture as a mediator. Practical Implications – The findings emphasize the importance of developing a supportive school culture to foster creativity among teachers. Educational leaders should focus on building environments that encourage innovation, collaboration, and growth. Policymakers can support this by integrating entrepreneurial leadership practices with strategies to cultivate a positive school culture, enhancing overall teacher creativity and effectiveness.

Abstract

Purpose –  This study aims to examine the factors influencing the performance of administrative staff at the Graduate School of Universitas Gadjah Mada (UGM). Specifically, the research focuses on the roles of leadership competence, achievement motivation, and organizational learning culture in determining staff performance, addressing gaps in previous studies that lacked a comprehensive integration of these factors. Methods/Design/Approach – A quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design was employed. Data were collected using questionnaires distributed to all 89 administrative staff at the UGM Graduate School, yielding 78 valid responses. The relationships between leadership competence, achievement motivation, organizational learning culture, and performance were analyzed using multiple linear regression. Validity and reliability tests, alongside classical assumption tests, were conducted to ensure the robustness of the model. Findings – The results demonstrate that both leadership competence and achievement motivation positively and significantly affect staff performance. Achievement motivation was identified as the most dominant factor, while organizational learning culture showed no significant influence. The model explains 57.2% of the variance in staff performance, indicating that other unexplored factors may contribute to performance outcomes. Originality/Value – This study provides a novel integration of leadership competence, achievement motivation, and organizational learning culture within a single analytical model, contributing to the literature on human resource management in higher education in Indonesia. The findings offer a comprehensive understanding of key factors influencing staff performance in public higher education institutions. Practical Implications – The findings suggest that higher education management should prioritize leadership development and motivation enhancement initiatives to improve staff performance. Although the organizational learning culture did not significantly affect performance, efforts should still be made to foster a learning environment to support long-term organizational success. Keywords Leadership competence, achievement motivation, organizational learning culture, staff performance, higher education management Paper type Research paper

Abstract

Purpose –  This study addresses a critical gap in character education literature by examining how Indonesian parents in diaspora settings, specifically those with children attending Sekolah Indonesia Kuala Lumpur (SIKL), perceive and implement character education within the family. Given Generation Alpha’s deep immersion in technology and the shifting cultural identities of diaspora families, this research highlights the need for moral resilience fostered through family-based character development. Methods/Design/Approach – Using a qualitative approach, the study employed Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and in-depth interviews involving 30 purposively selected parents of SIKL students across grades X–XII. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and document analysis, then thematically analyzed with the support of NVivo software. The analysis focused on six key dimensions of parental involvement: parenting, communication, home-based learning, contribution, decision-making, and collaboration. Findings – Parents consistently associated character education with empathy, honesty, religiosity, and emotional intelligence. Role modeling (35%), discussion and reflection (45%), and open communication emerged as dominant methods. Major challenges included children’s technology dependence (65%), limited parent–child time, and academic stress. Key support resources included family centers, faith communities, parenting groups, and social media networks. Originality/Value – This study offers novel insights into character education within transnational families, emphasizing the strategic role of parental engagement in preserving national identity and moral values in intercultural contexts. While exploratory, the study's findings serve as a theoretical and practical foundation for future research across diaspora settings. Practical Implications – Schools serving diaspora populations should institutionalize collaborative character education programs with active parental involvement. Family-centered training modules, value-based projects, and intercultural parenting forums are essential to maintain consistency in moral education. The study’s geographic and informant scope presents limitations, inviting future research to include student and teacher perspectives for a more holistic understanding.

Abstract

Purpose –  This study maps thematic stagnation and methodological conservatism in master’s theses in Arabic Language Education (PBA) at Universitas Islam Negeri Sunan Kalijaga (2015–2021) and the intellectual dynamics of topic–method choices to inform program evaluation and policy. Methods/Design/Approach – A descriptive design with a historical approach and a mixed-methods strategy was applied to the full corpus of 178 theses (total sampling, 2015–2021). Data were gathered via documentation/bibliographic survey of digital and physical archives and analysed using content analysis and frequency distributions (P = (F/N) × 100). The study complied with institutional research ethics and received ethics committee approval. Findings – Six themes were identified; teaching–learning components dominate 50% (89/178) with teaching materials as the largest subtheme 22.5% (40/178). Linguistics appears consistently yet remains minor 14.6%; educational technology 7.9% increased in 2019–2021, while maharah declined 4.5%. Methods are led by R&D 27.5% (49), activity analysis 24.7% (44), literature review 17.4% (31); experiments 5.6% (10) rose in the last two years. Originality/Value – Program-level thematic–methodological mapping pinpoints where stagnation occurs while signalling shifts (technology and experiments), guiding a move toward more explanatory, cross-level, and interdisciplinary designs grounded in a thematic lens attentive to diglossia. Practical Implications – Three operational steps are recommended: (i) redesign the research roadmap (applied sociolinguistics, policy/curriculum evaluation, multicultural agendas); (ii) strengthen methodological capability (causal/explanatory designs, mixed methods, program evaluation) to buttress R&D; (iii) orchestrate cross-disciplinary collaborations and field partnerships.

Abstract

Purpose –  This study aims to explore the interrelation between media literacy, moral panic, and the Acehnese community’s response to Rohingya refugees. Although the issue of Rohingya refugees has previously been examined from legal, social, and cultural perspectives, the role of media literacy—particularly within educational contexts—remains underexplored. This study is significant due to the widespread dissemination of hoaxes, such as claims that “Rohingya refugees are a diversion from the Palestine issue” and demands for “permanent resettlement,” which have substantially influenced local public perceptions.. Methods/Design/Approach – This research employs a qualitative method with a case study approach in Aceh, Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 20 key participants, including local community members, Rohingya refugees, and practitioners in education and media; participatory observation; document analysis of media and international organizational reports; and Focus Group Discussions (FGDs). Data analysis was conducted using a thematic approach and verified through source and method triangulation. Findings – he findings reveal that the initial solidarity of the Acehnese community toward Rohingya refugees was shaped by local values and maritime customary law in the absence of formal state regulations. However, this positive perception shifted significantly due to the spread of hoaxes via social media, triggering moral panic, social segregation, political tensions, and collective acts of rejection against the refugees. The majority of respondents emphasized the need to integrate media literacy into both formal and informal educational systems to mitigate these negative impacts. Originality/Value – This study makes a theoretical contribution by explicitly integrating the concept of critical media literacy into the analysis of moral panic surrounding the Rohingya refugee issue, an area previously underexplored in the literature. It also specifically documents the role of hoaxes in shaping public perception, offering new insights into the interaction between media literacy, moral panic, and social responses within the context of refugee crises. Practical Implications – Practically, the findings recommend implementing critical media literacy within formal and informal education curricula, particularly at senior high schools and Islamic boarding schools (pesantren). In addition, community-based media literacy programs involving local leaders, as well as the synchronization of policies between central and regional governments, are crucial for enhancing critical awareness and social empathy in addressing global refugee challenges. Limitations – This study is limited to the geographical context of Aceh and faced linguistic constraints during interviews with Rohingya refugees, which may affect the generalizability and depth of the findings.
