Abstract

This study examines the success of interpersonal communication in the Muhammadiyah Youth Organisation Branch in Erelembang Village, Gowa Regency. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with in-depth interviews with 12 informants, direct observation, and document analysis during September-November 2024. The results of the study found four methods of interpersonal communication that were applied: (1) repetition of messages that took advantage of close relationships in rural areas; (2) persuasion through two-way dialogue; (3) delivery of information with clear evidence of the benefits of organizing; and (4) a firm approach limited to members with specific characteristics. The success of communication was measured using five indicators that showed the creation of openness, mutual understanding, support, favorable responses, and equality in communication. The findings show that interpersonal communication is more successful than group communication in rural environments, with persuasion having the best impact. The contribution of this research lies in the development of an organisational communication model suitable for rural areas and an understanding of how to adapt communication methods to local characteristics.

Abstract

This study analyses the communication patterns of Sheikh Yusuf al-Makassari (1626-1699) from a sociological perspective and their relevance to the transformation of contemporary communication. Using qualitative methods with an interpretive sociological approach, this study examines how Sheikh Yusuf's communication strategies in a pluralistic society succeeded in creating social change. The findings show that Sheikh Yusuf used three communication models: (1) adaptive-contextual communication through a hikmah approach, (2) persuasive-empathetic communication through mau'idzah hasanah, and (3) dialogical-participatory communication through mujadalah. This study found that Sheikh Yusuf's da'wah communication patterns underwent a transformation in the digital era, but still maintained the basic principles of humanistic and non-coercive communication. The contribution of this study is identifying effective da'wah communication models in pluralistic societies as an alternative to extreme da'wah communication on social media.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the non-neutrality of civil servants in the 2024 regional head elections in Gowa Regency; communication in the supervision of the Gowa Regency Election Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu) to realise civil servant neutrality; and the actions of the Gowa Regency Bawaslu in handling violations of civil servant neutrality. The research method used was qualitative field research. The research approach used was organisational communication theory. The data sources were primary and secondary data. The data collection methods consisted of observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study show that the factors causing civil servants to be non-neutral in the 2024 regional head elections in Gowa Regency are pressure from the incumbent or candidates who support the incumbent; temptation, personal interests in positions or benefits; kinship or connections; and supervision that is not yet comprehensive and a lack of supervisory human resources. Bawaslu conducted communication in the form of socialisation, public education, participatory supervision through dialogue and seminars, coordination with local governments, BKD, and inspectorates, as well as media campaigns. In handling violations, Bawaslu issued appeal letters, processed reports, and enforced the law through coordination with the Integrated Law Enforcement Centre (Gakkumdu), the State Civil Service Agency (BKN), and related agencies. Overall, this study emphasises the importance of educational, coordinative, and participatory institutional communication, as well as the need to strengthen regulations and guidance for ASN to maintain bureaucratic neutrality. These efforts are strategic steps toward building a professional, independent, and integrity-driven bureaucracy in the implementation of regional elections.

Abstract

This study examines the social construction of professionalism through communicative practices within the Human Initiative Volunteer Energy (HIVE) South Sulawesi volunteer community, with a focus on the Remote Area Education Program in Pattuku Village. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with participatory observation and in-depth interviews, this study reveals how the meaning of professionalism is adapted from formal definitions to contextual communicative practices. The findings reveal five dimensions of adapted professionalism: boundless dedication, accountability to beneficiaries, creative adaptability, relational ethics, and continuous learning. This adaptation occurs through three patterns of communication—horizontal, vertical, and diagonal—which function as mechanisms of socialization and legitimization. This study contributes to the understanding of organizational communication by showing how the meaning of professionalism is adapted through communicative practices in the context of volunteering.

Abstract

This study aims to critically analyze social media and online games as agents of social transformation and as spaces for achievement, using the ethical philosophy framework of Cal Newport, Byung-Chul Han, Ziauddin Sardar, and Carl Honoré, and to formulate ethical implications for a more meaningful digital life. The research method used is a qualitative approach with a conceptual analysis design rooted in philosophical thinking and cultural studies. The results of the study highlight that the social transformation triggered by social media and online games occurs in four dimensions: (1) Transformation of interactions that lose negativity; (2) Identity transformation that is algorithmically constructed with Western cultural biases; (3) The transformation of public space that shifts from deliberation to attention extraction, as well as; (4) The transformation of time that accelerates and erodes contemplation. Simultaneously, the meaning of achievement in the digital ecosystem is reduced to illusory virtual symbols, trapping individuals in self-exploitation, cultural homogenization, and loss of appreciation for process. The synthesis of the four perspectives gives birth to Digital Flourishing Ethics. This integral ethical framework combines the dimensions of focus, contemplation, epistemic-cultural, and temporal as normative alternatives in responding to the digital crisis. The implications of these findings provide insight into the need to redefine achievement, develop digital literacy, and implement regulations that protect cultural diversity and digital free spaces.

Abstract

The development of digital technology and the penetration of social media have significantly transformed societal communication patterns, particularly among Generation Z, who have grown up in a digital environment. From Manuel Castells' perspective on the network society, communication is no longer linear but rather evolves within dynamic, interactive, and virtual-based network structures. This study aims to analyze the transformation of communication among Generation Z on social media by focusing on three main aspects: interaction patterns, identity expression, and the dynamics of the social relationships formed. The research method used is qualitative with a netnographic approach, which enables researchers to observe communication behavior in online communities in depth. Data were collected through participatory observation on Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook, as well as digital content analysis. The research sample consisted of 24 Generation Z social media users who are actively engaged in virtual communities. This study reveals three novel findings. First, the communication transformation of Generation Z is not merely a shift towards faster, visual, and symbolic communication but also involves the emergence of new social relational structures within the framework of the network society. Second, digital symbols such as emojis and memes serve as media for negotiating contextual social meaning. Third, Generation Z's identity is multidimensional and constructed differently across platforms (Instagram, WhatsApp, and Facebook) through adaptive impression management strategies. Thus, digital communication is understood not merely as the exchange of messages, but as a process of simultaneously constructing meaning, identity, and social structure.

Abstract

The Internet is influencing communication between parents and children within the family. This paper demonstrates how the Internet affects parent-child communication in Hanoi, Vietnam's capital. The study employed a sociological survey method with 113 parent-child pairs. Research participants are children randomly selected from middle and high schools, along with their parents, with informed consent. The selected 113 parent-child pairs belong to two- and three-generation families, with the mandatory condition that the family has used the Internet in recent years. Research results show that both parents and children widely use the Internet. However, there is no correlation between the duration of Internet use and the time spent on direct communication between parents and children. It is worth noting a low positive correlation (P = 0.239; Sig = 0.011) between children’s Internet use for communication and their use of the social network Zalo to communicate with parents. There is also a low positive correlation (P=0.217; Sig=0.021) between parents’ Internet use for communication and their ability to share in and understand children's communication. This result offers a new perspective on the influence of Internet use on communication between parents and children in today's urban families in a low- to middle-income country like Vietnam. Influenced by the specific features of Vietnamese culture and the conditions of the COVID-19 lockdown, children exhibit substantially higher levels of internet use than their parents, and this usage does not appear to diminish the frequency of face-to-face communication within families, as indicated by correlation analyses. These findings underscore the importance of examining internet-use behaviors within their socio-cultural context and highlight the need for broader, methodologically diversified research in this field

Abstract

This study traces the transformation of financial literacy discourse by positioning communication media as the primary unit of analysis. Unlike mainstream studies that view financial literacy as an individual cognitive competence, this research argues that communication media do not merely convey knowledge but also construct economic subjects within power-knowledge relations. Using a critical qualitative approach, this study integrates Fairclough’s three-dimensional critical discourse analysis with Foucauldian genealogy. The data corpus comprises three categories: historical documents (Poor Richard’s Almanac 1733–1758); global and domestic institutional documents (OECD, Presidential Regulations, OJK, SNLIK); and the interfaces of Indonesian fintech platforms (DANA, OVO, Jenius, Bibit, GoPay, ShopeePay, LinkAja, Ajaib). The findings reveal three discursive formations exhibiting lexical convergence: the almanac phase produces economic-moral subjects (industry, frugality, prudence); the institutional phase produces rational-calculative subjects (knowledge-attitude-behavior); and the digital phase produces financialised subjects through gamification, algorithmic paternalism, and the reduction of cognitive friction. This research also reveals that Franklin’s famous quote, “A penny saved is a penny earned,” is apocryphal and a historical distortion that actually reinforces the research thesis. The contribution of this study is not merely to reiterate the critical perspective on financialization but to apply it genealogically to the almanac–institutional–digital trajectory within the empirical context of Indonesia, whilst mapping the lexical convergence that encodes the Calvinist-Protestant ethos as a cross-medium and cross-temporal universal.

Abstract

This study examines how motivational content produced by a licensed psychologist–influencer on TikTok deploys feminist empowerment rhetoric as a mechanism of commercial commodification. Drawing on Sara Mills' feminist critical discourse analysis and Vincent Mosco's political economy of communication, we analyze five videos published by @Creator-P, an Indonesian content creator with over 800,000 followers, selected for their simultaneous deployment of psychological authority and commercial endorsement. Analysis reveals a consistent discursive pattern in which the creator occupies an expert subject position, constructing her female audience as bodies in need of commercial solutions, while positioning herself as both a peer and a promoter. Three interlocking commodification mechanisms are identified: content commodification, in which empowerment narratives are structured as advertising formats; audience commodification, in which parasocial intimacy is leveraged as consumer access; and what we term the credibility-commodity nexus, whereby professional authority is mobilized to naturalize consumption as self-improvement. These findings suggest that feminist discourse in Indonesian influencer culture functions not as a challenge to patriarchal consumption logics but as a legitimating vehicle for them. The study contributes an integrated discursive–economic framework applicable to the growing body of scholarship on postfeminist digital labor in Southeast Asian platform contexts.
