Abstract

The mangrove ecosystem is one of the natural resources that has significant potential to be developed as a tourism attraction. The management of mangrove areas can be enhanced through ecotourism-based activities. Ecotourism is a form of educational tourism that emphasizes human behavior in preserving the environment sustainably, while also providing economic benefits and environmental services without excessive exploitation of mangroves. The use of environmental services based on ecotourism supports the sustainability of mangrove ecosystems as buffer zones for conservation areas. In addition, ecotourism-based environmental services encourage the long-term sustainability of mangrove ecosystems as protective zones for conservation areas. The management of mangroves for ecotourism is also in line with the shifting preferences of tourists from conventional tourism. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ecotourism-based mangrove management, which can later serve as a reference for government policy decision-makers. Data collection in this study was conducted through field surveys by distributing questionnaires, using an effectiveness approach based on five indicators proposed by Siagian: input, output, outcome, benefit, and impact. The research involved field observations and questionnaire distribution using a Likert scale. The analysis method employed is the measurement of effectiveness by applying the effectiveness formula. The findings of this study reveal that: (1) The input indicator is, on average, categorized as moderately effective. (2) The output indicator is, on average, categorized as moderately effective. (3) The outcome indicator is, on average, categorized as moderately effective. (4) The benefit indicator is, on average, categorized as moderately effective. (5) The impact indicator is, on average, categorized as ineffective.

Abstract

This study examines how tracer studies are managed and integrated into evidence-based quality assurance for graduate quality evaluation. A qualitative case study was conducted at a public university in Indonesia. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 35 purposively selected university managers, faculty coordinators, alumni, employers, and students, supplemented by non-participant observations and institutional documents. The data were analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña’s interactive model and triangulated across sources and techniques. The findings show that effective tracer study governance comprises five interrelated components: planning, integrated data management, stakeholder collaboration, evidence-based decision-making, and continuous quality improvement. Institutional records further showed that tracer study and employer-survey evidence informed performance reporting, accreditation, curriculum review, graduate competency evaluation, and career services. However, its strategic value depended on database completeness, data validation, employer participation, cross-unit coordination, dissemination, and documented follow-up. The study proposes an Evidence-Based Tracer Study Management Framework that integrates POAC management functions with the PPEPP quality assurance cycle, positioning tracer studies as a continuous improvement mechanism rather than merely an administrative reporting requirement.

Abstract

This study investigates how a corporate strategic framework, the McKinsey 7S model, was adapted to integrate Islamic organisational values within an Indonesian pesantren, and what this adaptation process reveals about value-framework integration in mission-driven institutions. Using a qualitative case study design, data were collected from nine purposively selected participants (VP1–VP4, T1, ES1, AL1, P1, S1) through triangulated observations, interviews, and document analysis, and analyzed with ATLAS.ti software using thematic coding guided by the McKinsey 7S elements. This integration was accomplished through three mechanisms: semantic alignment (adapting framework terminology to Islamic concepts), process modification (incorporating shura consultation into decision-making), and metric integration (measuring character development alongside academic achievement). Challenges emerged in staff resistance, resource allocation, and ongoing tensions between operational efficiency and Islamic consultative decision-making. Applicant data showed a two-year net change from 1,001 to 1,073 (a 7.2% increase across 2021–2023, inclusive of a 2022 decline), contextualised as institutional trajectory data rather than a causal outcome of the framework. The novelty of this research lies in the inductive development of a Value-Driven Framework Adaptation Model (VDFAM) from this single case, presented as a set of propositions requiring testing in other institutional contexts before transferability can be established. These findings contribute to educational management science by offering an empirically grounded account of how a Western management instrument was made acceptable within a pesantren through a process of systematic value harmonisation, providing both theoretical extension and practical guidance for mission-driven institutions navigating the tension between authenticity and competitiveness.

Abstract

Earnings management’s consequences for firm value remain contested because prior findings diverge sharply across institutional settings. This study conducts a structured narrative review, strengthened by a vote-counting synthesis of six primary studies with independently verifiable results, to examine how earnings management relates to firm value, whether this relationship differs between accrual-based and real earnings management, and how institutional quality, investor protection, and financial reporting environments moderate it. Evidence was drawn from a targeted, verified body of accounting, finance, and management literature and integrated across agency theory, institutional theory, information asymmetry, signaling theory, the efficient market hypothesis, and stakeholder theory. Rather than a uniformly negative relationship, the review finds that direction depends systematically on measurement choice and institutional context: real earnings management measured net of its operational cost is associated with lower firm value, accrual-based measures show weaker or even positive associations, and one cross-country study shows the relationship reversing sign between strong- and weak-institution environments, with board oversight, ownership structure, and regulatory quality emerging as the governance mechanisms that explain this heterogeneity. This boundary-condition synthesis, integrating six theoretical perspectives into a single framework, is the review’s principal theoretical contribution; because it is a narrative rather than a PRISMA-compliant systematic review, its scope and access limitations are stated explicitly in the Methods. The findings offer managerial guidance for monitoring real activities manipulation and policy guidance for sequencing accounting-standard and enforcement reforms, together with a concrete agenda for the quantitative meta-analysis this literature still requires.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of inclusive education in an elementary school in Jambi City using the Context, Input, Process, Product (CIPP) evaluation model. A qualitative case study approach was employed to explore the implementation of inclusive education in its real-life context. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, participant observations, and document analysis involving the school principal, classroom teachers, special assistant teachers (Guru Pendamping Khusus), and parents of students with special educational needs. Data were analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model supported by ATLAS.ti for coding and thematic analysis. The findings indicate that the implementation of inclusive education has generally fulfilled the four CIPP dimensions. Institutional commitment, qualified human resources, individualized learning programs, and collaboration among teachers, parents, and special assistant teachers have supported effective implementation. The program has contributed to improved academic achievement, learning participation, and non-academic development of students with special educational needs, although challenges in social interaction remain. This study provides empirical evidence on the application of the CIPP model in evaluating inclusive education and offers practical recommendations for strengthening teacher capacity, collaborative support, and policy implementation to improve the quality and sustainability of inclusive education.

Abstract

Working students must balance academic and work demands, yet evidence on how personal self-regulation translates into work-study balance is limited, particularly in Indonesia. This study aimed to examine the effect of self-leadership on work-study balance, with boundary management as a mediator, among working students at the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Pamulang. A cross-sectional survey of 290 working students (cohorts 2022–2025, purposive sampling) was analyzed with PLS-SEM (SmartPLS 4). Self-leadership had a positive effect on boundary management (β = 0.940; p < 0.001), and boundary management had a positive effect on work-study balance (β = 1.409; p < 0.001). The direct effect of self-leadership on work-study balance was negative (β = −0.770; p < 0.001), whereas the indirect effect was positive (β = 1.330; p < 0.001), indicating competitive partial mediation. However, self-leadership and boundary management were not empirically distinct (HTMT = 0.986) and two coefficients exceeded 1.0, so the results should be regarded as preliminary. The findings point to boundary-management support as a practical focus for university student services. Limitations include the cross-sectional, self-reported data from a single faculty.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the impact of Budget Transparency, Financial Management Capacity, and Organizational Accountability on Public Sector Financial Performance, with Institutional Trust acting as an intervening variable on Local Government of Manggarai Regency. Research Design and Methodology: The research employs the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method, which allows for the analysis of complex relationships among variables. Data were gathered through a survey using a questionnaire distributed to 120 respondents involved in financial management at the Manggarai Regency Government. Findings and Discussion: The findings reveal that Budget Transparency, Financial Management Capacity, and Organizational Accountability have a significant direct effect on the financial performance of the local government. Furthermore, Institutional Trust plays a vital role as a mediator, strengthening the relationship between independent variables and financial performance. The study highlights that transparency in budget management, strong financial management capacity, and high organizational accountability are crucial for enhancing financial performance at the regional level. Additionally, the public's trust in the institution is essential in reinforcing these factors’ impact. Implications: The study's results suggest that local governments should prioritize transparency in budget processes, invest in improving financial management systems, and foster accountability within organizations to improve financial performance.

Abstract

This study develops a contextually grounded work conflict management model for Sekolah Penggerak, Indonesia's national educational transformation program (Ministerial Decree No. 371/M/2021). Using a qualitative comparative two-site case study design, the study collected data from two Sekolah Penggerak Cohort I senior secondary schools in Kota Ambon, Maluku, through ten semi-structured in-depth interviews, 22 structured participatory field notes, and document analysis. Findings reveal that work conflict is predominantly structural-systemic, driven by task ambiguity, disproportionate workloads, ineffective policy communication, resource constraints, generational gaps, and unclear administrative rules. The most critical original finding is pseudo-resolution: conflict appears administratively settled through formal institutional pressure, yet structural tensions remain unaddressed, perpetuating recurring conflict cycles. Conflict management is informal and person-dependent, relying entirely on principals' individual leadership capacity without standardized institutional procedures. Based on a systematic synthesis of empirical findings and theoretical frameworks, this study proposes the Reflective-Collaborative Work Conflict Management Model comprising seven cyclical stages: early detection, root-cause analysis, open dialogue, neutral leadership mediation, multi-stakeholder collaboration, formal agreement documentation, and continuous reflective evaluation. Practical implications are advanced for school principals, district education offices, and Kemendikbudristek, with particular significance given the program's national target of reaching all Indonesian schools by 2027.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the acceleration of village self-reliance through post-division governance innovation, drawing lessons from Mekar Sari Village, Bajubang District, Batanghari Regency, Jambi Province. This village, established through the administrative division of Batin Village in 2012, has achieved self-reliant village status based on the Developing Village Index (Indeks Desa Membangun, hereafter IDM), with an Economic Resilience Index of 0.733, a Social Resilience Index of 0.800, and an Ecological Resilience Index of 1.000. The study employs a qualitative case-study design. This article reports an interim, document-based stage of the research: the analysis presented is derived from secondary data village planning documents, IDM statistics, and prior literature while the primary data collection (observation, structured interviews with 21 purposively sampled informants, and documentation) is ongoing and will be incorporated into a subsequent, primary-data-informed version of this manuscript. Once complete, data will be analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model. The study is grounded in institutional theory, social capital theory, and contemporary village self-reliance theory. Preliminary, hypothesis-generating findings from the secondary data reviewed suggest that the transformation of traditional social capital into bridging social capital, the strengthening of formal institutions following administrative division, and cross-sectoral synergy are associated with accelerated village self-reliance; these associations should be read as illustrative hypotheses pending verification through the primary interview data, not as established findings. Once validated, the study is intended to contribute theoretically to government studies and to serve as a practical reference for other newly divided villages and for policymakers engaged in Indonesia's decentralization agenda.
