Abstract

This phenomenological study explores the lived experience of work wellbeing among millennial employees within Jakarta’s dynamic technology startup ecosystem. Through in-depth interviews with ten participants across diverse roles and startup stages, the research reveals that well-being transcends traditional financial metrics, emerging instead as contextualized resonance, a state of thriving within the environment’s inherent chaos, speed, and uncertainty. Four interconnected dimensions define this resonance: (1) Meaningful Contribution (alignment with personal values and tangible impact), (2) Autonomy and Flexibility (trust in self-management, albeit challenged by blurred boundaries), (3) Authentic Interpersonal Relationships (psychological safety and communal support as buffers against stress), and (4) Space for Growth (continuous learning and non-linear development pathways). The findings underscore that millennials derive profound satisfaction from co-creating innovation but require deliberate organizational support to mitigate burnout risks. This study advocates for human-centered HR strategies transforming Jakarta’s startup dynamism from a wellbeing challenge into a catalyst for resilience, retention, and holistic fulfillment.

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the multifaceted challenges of implementing blockchain technology within Human Resource Management (HRM) to enhance sustainability reporting transparency among Jakarta multinational corporations. As global and local pressure mounts for verifiable ethical practices, blockchain’s promise of immutable data integrity confronts complex socio-technical realities. Through in-depth interviews with 28 HR leaders, technology experts, and sustainability officers, the research identifies five interconnected barriers: (1) profound technical integration difficulties with legacy HR systems, (2) limited efficacy in verifying initial data authenticity across Jakarta’s complex supply chains, (3) tensions between regulatory agility in Indonesia’s evolving compliance landscape and blockchain’s inherent inflexibility, (4) deep-seated stakeholder resistance rooted in transparency anxieties and cultural reluctance, and (5) the sustainability-energy paradox where blockchain’s environmental footprint contradicts ESG goals. Findings reveal that while blockchain strengthens auditability, its successful adoption demands addressing Jakarta-specific infrastructural constraints, fostering cultures of trust, and prioritizing human oversight alongside technological solutions. The study advocates for strategic, context-sensitive approaches to blockchain deployment, positioning it as one tool within a broader ecosystem of ethical governance, not a standalone solution for HR-driven sustainability transparency.

Abstract

This narrative inquiry explores the resurgence of local heritage brands among urban millennial consumers in Java, Indonesia, examining nostalgia as a primary emotional driver of purchasing behavior. Through in-depth interviews with 30 participants across five major Javanese cities (Jakarta, Bandung, Semarang, Yogyakarta, Surabaya), supplemented by sensory elicitation techniques, the study reveals how heritage consumption functions as temporal integration weaving personal nostalgia (e.g., childhood memories evoked by jamu’s bitterness or batik’s texture) with constructed cultural heritage. Findings identify a nuanced authenticity paradox: participants demanded visible craftsmanship as proof of intergenerational integrity while strategically embracing modernization that preserves cultural essence. Heritage brands emerged as tools for hybrid identity work, enabling millennials to reclaim Javanese identity within globalized selves through embodied rituals (e.g., lulur skincare as cultural homage). The emotional landscape featured reflective nostalgia, bittersweet resonance, balancing comfort with awareness of cultural transformation, and transforming consumption into agentive cultural resilience. Ultimately, purchasing decisions represent ethical stewardship, sustaining intangible heritage through market mechanisms ("buying time for traditions"). The study contributes to consumer culture theory by reframing nostalgia as a dynamic social force that bridges personal memory, cultural preservation, and marketplace action in postcolonial urban contexts.

Abstract

This qualitative study explores the nature and drivers of property ownership aspirations among teenagers (aged 15-19) in Makassar, Indonesia, within the context of pervasive digital immersion. Adopting a phenomenological approach, data was gathered through in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with 30 participants across diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. The findings illustrate that even with significant involvement in digital technologies, teenagers mainly perceive property as a form of tangible security and a legacy to pass down through generations, highlighting persistent cultural values related to family stability. Digital platforms open up access to property information and elevate aspirations through inspiring stories, but they also heighten anxieties with unrealistic depictions of wealth and obscure practical routes to ownership. Motivations centered on independence, stability, and social validation are tempered by perceived insurmountable financial barriers rising property prices, complex financing, and cultural aversion to debt. The study concludes that teenagers navigate a disconnect between digitally fueled dreams and tangible attainability, epitomized by the metaphor “groping in the dark while holding a bright phone”. This underscores an urgent need for context-sensitive interventions leveraging digital tools for financial literacy, demystifying acquisition processes, and fostering collaborative support systems among educators, policymakers, and communities to bridge aspiration and reality.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of mindfulness training on reducing burnout among Human Resource (HR) professionals in Makassar, Indonesia, amidst the pressures of digital transformation. Employing a phenomenological approach, the research explores lived experiences of HR personnel navigating technological change and their engagement with mindfulness practices. Findings reveal that digital transformation, while enhancing efficiency, exacerbates emotional exhaustion, technostress, and blurred work-life boundaries. Mindfulness training especially when culturally adapted to align with local values such as gotong royong and siri’ na pace proved effective in lowering stress levels and enhancing emotional regulation. However, the effectiveness of such interventions depends significantly on organizational support, including policies that prioritize well-being. The study advocates for integrated strategies combining cultural relevance and structural reform to foster sustainable resilience in Indonesia’s evolving work environments.

Abstract

In recent decades, entrepreneurship has become one of the main pillars of economic development, especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Makassar City, as one of the economic centers in Eastern Indonesia, has an important role in encouraging the growth of the small and medium enterprise (SME) sector. One of the efforts made by the government and various institutions is to develop a Business Incubator Program, which aims to accelerate the growth of entrepreneurs through educational support, training, and guidance. In Makassar District, Bara-Baraya Timur Village, the development of local entrepreneurs is getting more attention. Business incubators in this area offer programs to help local entrepreneurs develop business skills, increase access to capital, and open wider networks. Although business incubators have proven successful in various countries, their implementation in each region can certainly provide different results, depending on the characteristics of the economic and social environment. In Bara-Baraya Timur Village, there are several challenges faced by one of the local entrepreneurs interviewed by the researcher, such as lack of management skills, and increasingly tight competition. Therefore, the researcher decided to conduct further research on “The influence of business incubators on the entrepreneurial economy in Makassar City, Bara-Baraya Timur Village”.

Abstract

In contemporary Makassar, café culture has become a powerful site of youth identity construction, cultural negotiation, and social aspiration. This study explores how coffee consumption among young people aged 18–30 transcends lifestyle trends to become a medium for performing modernity, asserting cultural roots, and navigating socioeconomic and spatial hierarchies. This research investigates the meanings and experiences embedded in café rituals across diverse social and economic contexts using a phenomenological qualitative approach including semi-structured interviews, participant observation, and digital diaries. Findings reveal that cafés function as identity laboratories where youth strategically curate hybrid selves, blending global coffee aesthetics with local philosophies such as Siri’ Na Pacce and Pappaseng. The study highlights how class and income shape café participation, with phenomena like “menu anxiety” reinforcing symbolic exclusions. It also uncovers new dimensions, including emotional self-regulation through café rituals, gendered expectations of visibility, and the digital extension of café experiences via social media as forms of aspirational performance. Contrary to the universalist “third place” theory, cafés in Makassar operate as contested cultural arenas, simultaneously enabling self-expression and reinforcing structural boundaries. This research advances a decolonial framework for understanding youth consumption in the Global South by centering Eastern Indonesian epistemologies. It calls for inclusive urban strategies that recognize cafés not just as commercial spaces, but as everyday theaters of cultural resistance, belonging, and meaning-making.
