Abstract

The increasingly competitive culinary industry requires businesses to understand the factors influencing purchasing decisions in order to maintain business sustainability. This study aims to analyze the effects of promotion and service quality on purchasing decisions, with trust serving as a mediating variable at Ayam Geprek Romansa, Penfui, Kupang. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed, involving 100 female university students living in boarding houses as respondents, who were selected using purposive sampling. The selection of respondents was based on the characteristics of female boarding-house students as consumers with limited budgets, making them more likely to adopt rational and selective approaches when making spending decisions. The data were analyzed using path analysis to examine the direct and indirect effects among the variables. The results indicate that promotion has no significant effect on either trust or purchasing decisions. In contrast, service quality has a positive and significant direct effect on purchasing decisions but does not significantly affect trust. Trust also has no significant effect on purchasing decisions and does not mediate the relationship between promotion or service quality and purchasing decisions. These findings indicate that respondents’ purchasing decisions are influenced more strongly by their direct service experiences than by promotional activities or trust. This condition is further supported by respondents’ financial prudence and limited flexibility in digital payment methods, which may hinder the conversion of trust into actual purchasing decisions.

Abstract

The high level of consumptive behavior among university students is influenced by various factors originating from both internal and external environments. Lifestyle changes in the modern era and the increasing intensity of social media usage are presumed to contribute to the emergence of consumptive tendencies among students. This study aims to examine the influence of lifestyle and social media platforms on the consumptive behavior of female students at Universitas Nusa Cendana. Female students were selected as the research subjects due to their distinct consumption characteristics. This study employed a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 100 female students were selected as the sample using accidental sampling, as respondents were chosen based on accessibility and their fulfillment of predetermined research criteria. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression analysis. The findings indicate that lifestyle and social media usage have a positive and significant effect on students’ consumptive behavior, both partially and simultaneously. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 74.4% reflects that students’ consumptive behavior can be explained by lifestyle and social media, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors beyond the scope of this study. These results demonstrate that an increased lifestyle orientation and higher intensity of social media usage are associated with a greater tendency toward consumptive behavior among students. Therefore, this study recommends that students develop greater awareness in managing their lifestyle and social media usage to prevent excessive consumptive behavior.

Abstract

The development of generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformed learning processes in higher education while raising concerns about the increasing prevalence of academic dishonesty among university students. This study aims to examine the effects of generative AI use, self-efficacy, and morality on academic dishonesty among students at Universitas Nusa Cendana. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed. The study involved 120 social science students who used generative AI in their academic activities and were selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression, including t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination. The results indicate that generative AI use has a positive but insignificant effect on academic dishonesty, while self-efficacy has a negative but insignificant effect. In contrast, morality has a positive and significant effect on academic dishonesty. Simultaneously, the three variables have a significant effect on students' academic dishonesty. The findings indicate that academic dishonesty is shaped by the interaction of technological, psychological, and moral factors, with morality emerging as the primary determinant of students' tendency to engage in academic dishonesty. Furthermore, this study extends the application of the Fraud Diamond Theory by demonstrating that a sound understanding of moral values does not necessarily translate into consistent ethical behavior and, therefore, may not always prevent academic dishonesty.

Abstract

This study examines academic cheating behavior from the perspective of micro-level social pressure, emphasizing the mediating role of self-control. The study focuses on recipients of the KIP-Kuliah scholarship with a GPA above 3.00 at Universitas Nusa Cendana, where close social relationships, particularly with family and peers, represent the primary sources of pressure. The study population consisted of all KIP-Kuliah recipients at Universitas Nusa Cendana. A total of 110 respondents were selected using accidental sampling due to the absence of a specific official population list, making participant recruitment dependent on the availability of eligible respondents during the data collection period. The data were analyzed using path analysis. The findings indicate that micro-level social pressure not only has a direct effect on academic cheating but also exerts an indirect effect by weakening students' self-control. Students are more likely to engage in academic cheating when pressure from their immediate social environment exceeds their capacity for emotional regulation and self-restraint. These findings suggest that preventive interventions should prioritize strengthening students' psychological resilience and self-control rather than relying solely on administrative sanctions. From a theoretical perspective, this study extends Fraud Triangle Theory by demonstrating that the pressure dimension in academic settings arises primarily from everyday social interactions rather than financial factors alone.

Abstract

Reading and numeracy literacy remain important challenges in Indonesian Community Learning Centers (PKBM). However, studies examining literacy determinants in PKBM have remained fragmented and lack an integrated conceptual framework. This study aimed to identify and synthesize the determinants of reading and numeracy literacy in Indonesian PKBM through a Systematic Literature Review following the PRISMA guidelines. Literature was retrieved from Google Scholar, Publish or Perish, Scopus, Garuda, and Crossref databases, with the final search conducted on June 20, 2026. A total of 21 articles published between 2020 and 2026 met the inclusion criteria. The methodological quality of the included articles was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) critical appraisal tools before data synthesis. The findings revealed six major determinants of literacy: learner characteristics, tutor competence, learning strategies, PKBM management, learning environment, and institutional and social support. The results indicated that literacy achievement in PKBM is shaped by the interaction of individual, instructional, organizational, and environmental factors rather than by a single determinant. This study proposes the PKBM Learning Ecosystem Model, which conceptualizes reading and numeracy literacy as outcomes of interconnected relationships among learners, tutors, learning strategies, learning environments, management systems, and external support. The model provides a comprehensive framework for understanding literacy development in non-formal education and offers practical implications for strengthening literacy programs in PKBM.

Abstract

This research aims to evaluate the impact of collaboration and transformation within church ministries on the rising congregational attendance at HKBP in District X, Medan Aceh. The study is grounded in the urgent need for churches to adapt to the digital era and by strengthening ministry collaboration and implementing innovative service approaches. A quantitative approach was employed using an associative analysis method. Data were collected by distributing Likert-scale questionnaires to church ministers and active congregants in the research area. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, and both simple and multiple linear regression utilizing SPSS software. The study involved 120 respondents (n = 120). The multiple linear regression analysis yielded an R² value of  0,654, an F-value of 110,56 , and a significance level of p < 0.01. The findings indicate that ministry collaboration, which includes coordination among ministers and active congregational participation, has a significant and positive influence on congregational attendance (β =0,325 ). Similarly, ministry transformation realized through program innovation, the utilization of digital technology, and capacity building for ministers has a meaningful impact on the level of congregational participation (β =0,485 ). Collectively, these two independent variables contribute to an increase in congregational attendance, with ministry transformation demonstrating a more dominant influence than collaboration. This study theoretically enriches the literature on church ministry management within a quantitative framework, while providing practical recommendations for the HKBP church in District X to design ministry strategies that are contextual, collaborative, and responsive to contemporary developments.

Abstract

The use of immersive technology specifically augmented reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR)  in primary education has attracted considerable global research attention, yet comprehensive empirical synthesis for elementary schools limited. This  study aims to synthesize empirical evidence on the impact of AR/VR on motivation and learning outcomes of elementary school students through a systematic literature review SLR). Literature searches were conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, ERIC, Google Scholar, and IEEE Xplore databases using the PRISMA 2020 protocol (Page et al., 2021). From 1,124 initially identified articles rigorous selection yielded 50 articles meeting all inclusion criteria for in-depth analysis finding show that AR/VR consistently improves academic achievement with a pooled effect size of d= 0.89 (large by Cohen 1988 criteria) intrinsic motivation d= 0.74 (medium), and learning interest d= 0.68 (medium). The elementary school level yields an additional effect of delta d =+0.23 compared to other levels particularly in science (d = 0.62 - 1.24) in mathematics (d = 0.67 - 1.18). Three critical moderating factors are the guided inquiry approach (delta d =  + 0.19), cumulative intervention (delta d  =  + 0.28), and teacher TPAC competence. Vosviewer bibliometric analysis identifies five thematic clusters mapping Global research directions. These findings provide an empirical foundation for developing AR/VR Content aligned with Indonesia's  Merdeka Curriculum demands.

Although various studies have examined the use of ChatGPT in learning, findings regarding the opportunities and challenges of its implementation are still scattered and require comprehensive synthesis. This study aims to identify, analyze, and synthesize empirical findings related to the opportunities and challenges of using ChatGPT in education through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach based on the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The literature search was conducted in five reputable international databases: Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, SpringerLink, and ERIC, with publications spanning January 2020 to December 2025. Of the 812 articles identified, 62 met the inclusion criteria and were analyzed in depth. The results of the study indicate that ChatGPT has the potential to enhance learning personalization, support self-directed learning, accelerate feedback provision, and increase academic productivity. However, challenges related to information accuracy, academic integrity, algorithmic bias, digital literacy, and ethical aspects remain major concerns. These findings provide a foundation for educators, researchers, and policymakers to optimize the effective and responsible use of ChatGPT in educational settings.

Abstract

Employee performance is an important factor in improving the quality of public health services, influenced by various aspects, such as work-life balance, job satisfaction, and organizational commitment. Therefore, this study focuses on employees of the East Nusa Tenggara Provincial Health Office as an agency facing high public service demands and workloads. This study aims to analyze the influence of work-life balance and job satisfaction on employee performance with organizational commitment as a mediating variable. This study uses organizational behavior-based human resource management theory as a theoretical basis to explain how work-life balance and job satisfaction affect employee performance through the formation of organizational commitment. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method of 100 respondents who were employees of the East Nusa Tenggara Provincial Health Office and were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were analyzed using path analysis. The results showed that job satisfaction and organizational commitment had a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while work-life balance did not have a significant direct effect on employee performance, but had an indirect effect through organizational commitment. These findings indicate that organizational commitment plays an important role as a mediating variable in improving employee performance. This research is expected to enrich the literature on organizational behavior, particularly regarding the factors that influence employee performance in the public health services sector.

Abstract

This study was motivated by students’ difficulties in understanding the “pantun nasihat” material and the existence of differences in students’ learning abilities that have not been fully accommodated in the learning process. Therefore, a learning approach is needed that can adapt the learning process to students’ ability levels. This study aims to determine the effect of the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach on Indonesian language learning outcomes regarding the “pantun nasihat” material. The research method used was a quasi-experimental design. The sample consisted of 28 students from Class V-D as the experimental group and 37 students from Class V-A as the control group, selected using purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted through pretests and posttests. Data analysis utilized the N-Gain test, normality test, and homogeneity test as prerequisite tests prior to hypothesis testing (t-test). The results of the study show that the average N-Gain for the experimental class was 71, while that for the control class was 49. The learning achievement rate in the experimental class reached 93%, while in the control class it reached 86%. The results of the hypothesis test using the t-test showed that the calculated tcount (5.210) was greater than the critical ttable (1.998) at a 5% significance level therefore, H0 was rejected and H1 was accepted. Thus, it can be concluded that the Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) approach has a significant effect on learning outcomes in Indonesian language for the topic of advisory pantuns.
