Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the criteria and indicators essential for determining the efficiency of small industrial enterprises, a sector crucial for sustainable economic development yet often underserved by traditional evaluation frameworks. Research methodology: The research draws on existing synergistic efficiency frameworks, particularly those developed by Kondratiev et al. (2022), and integrates insights from production capacity modeling to propose a refined system of indicators suitable for small enterprises. Utilizing a mixed-method approach combining economic-mathematical modeling, statistical analysis, and case study evaluation, the study examines fluctuations in equipment utilization, labor productivity, and material efficiency over a thirty-year period. Results: Results indicate that while material efficiency remains relatively stable, labor and equipment productivity are highly variable, reflecting inconsistencies in workforce management and capital utilization. These findings underscore the limitations of conventional metrics and the need for multidimensional models that incorporate internal and external performance drivers. Contribution: This research contributes to the academic discourse by filling a gap in performance evaluation literature for small-scale industry and offers a foundation for future work in developing sector-specific benchmarking systems, performance dashboards, and policy instruments to support sustainable industrial growth. Implication: The implications are significant: small enterprises require adaptive, real-time efficiency monitoring tools that are both theoretically sound and practically implementable.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to identify the causes and consequences of CC and some important economic potentials/opportunities and challenges for addressing CC. Research Methodology: This paper reviews the state of knowledge on the challenges of CC, particularly the challenges related to the large uncertainties in CC projections for parts of Africa, and opportunities in energy transition modeling and projections in Africa, which can be integrated with a relatively modest effort within a shift in Africa from an economic challenges view of CCs to a long-term perspective that emphasizes livelihood security and vulnerability reduction. This study reviews the literature to assess the challenges and opportunities of CC Africa. It also identifies policy recommendations. Results: The study found that to capitalize on the economic opportunities and bridge the economic challenges gap, governments in Africa, and technical and financial partners need to actively promote renewable energy and energy efficiency through investment incentives towards developing low-carbon economies. Conclusions: Climate change is a two-sided issue. It is a threat to our existence, but it also offers humanity a chance to get things right for future generations. Limitations: The study is limited to peer-reviewed research papers that cover part or the whole of Africa, concerned with the issue of the climate changes Contribution: The findings will be useful in informing African countries’ national and international processes concerned with the implementation of various international agreements on CC and the achievement of the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the impact of the Hasanudin-Petrosea road infrastructure improvement on the economic activities of surrounding communities in Mimika Regency, focusing on production, distribution, and income levels. Research/methodology: Using a quantitative descriptive approach, primary data were gathered through field observations, structured questionnaires, and documentation. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling, and data were analyzed using descriptive statistical methods to identify changes in economic activities before and after the infrastructure development. Results: The findings indicate a significant positive impact on the local economy of the area. Most respondents reported increased production capacity, smoother distribution processes, and higher income levels following road improvements. Improved accessibility has stimulated the growth of small businesses, such as workshops, food stalls, and kiosks, along the upgraded road segment. Conclusions: The improvement of Hasanudin–Petrosea Road infrastructure has positively influenced local economic activities by enhancing production efficiency, supporting the distribution of goods, and increasing the household income. It has also encouraged the development of small businesses along the corridor. To sustain these benefits, continuous infrastructure maintenance and integrated economic planning are necessary to ensure the long-term prosperity of local communities. Limitations: This study was limited to one geographic location and a relatively small sample size, which may not fully reflect the broader regional impact. The analysis also does not address the long-term sustainability or maintenance aspects. Contribution: This study adds to the literature on infrastructure-led local economic development by providing empirical evidence on how improved road access stimulates production, distribution efficiency, and income while serving as a policy reference for future infrastructure planning in underdeveloped regions.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the impact of the W. R. Supratman Road infrastructure development on the local economy in Pasar Sentral Subdistrict, Mimika Regency, focusing on its influence on community income, business growth, and the distribution of goods and services. Research/methodology: A descriptive quantitative approach was applied, employing a paired sample t-test to compare economic indicators before and after road development. Primary data were gathered through questionnaires distributed to 30 purposively selected residents and business actors, while secondary data were obtained from government institutions. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and triangulation through interviews and field observations. Results: The findings show that road development significantly increased average household income by Rp. 683,333, improved business opportunities by 1.72 points, and enhanced the distribution of goods and services by 1.97 points. These outcomes indicate notable improvements in local economic activities after the infrastructure upgrade. Conclusions: The construction of W. R. Supratman Road positively influenced the economic conditions of the Pasar Sentral community by improving accessibility, stimulating business growth, and enhancing welfare. Better infrastructure facilitated trade flows and raised property values, supporting inclusive regional development. Limitations: The study is limited by a small sample size and short-term scope, which may not fully capture broader or long-term regional impacts. Contribution: This research provides empirical evidence of how targeted road infrastructure promotes local economic resilience and inclusive growth, offering useful insights for policymakers in regional planning.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to evaluate the potential and effectiveness of central market retribution revenue and its contribution to the Regional Original Income (PAD) of Mimika Regency. It seeks to determine whether retribution is managed optimally and whether it provides meaningful income to the local government. Research/methodology: A quantitative approach with descriptive and case study methods was used. Data were collected through documentation, questionnaires, and interviews between 2019 and 2023. The analysis used the effectiveness ratio, contribution analysis, and potential calculation with standard regional financial formulas. Data validation was ensured using triangulation techniques. Results: The findings revealed that the effectiveness of the central market retribution collection in Mimika remained high, with an average rate above 90% categorized as effective. However, its contribution to PAD was consistently low, averaging only 2.03% from 2019 to 2023. The study also found that retribution potential was not fully realized due to limited trader registration, low payment compliance, and reliance on manual tax collection systems. Conclusions: Retribution collection was consistently effective, but its contribution to PAD was minimal. This gap is mainly caused by unregistered traders, poor compliance, and inefficient manual record-keeping systems. To maximize revenue, the government must strengthen data management and monitoring and adopt digital retribution mechanisms. Limitations: This study is limited to one market (Pasar Sentral Timika) and relies primarily on secondary data, which may not capture real-time inefficiencies or informal economic activities. Contribution: This research contributes to the fiscal policy literature by highlighting the gap between potential and actual retribution performance and offering recommendations for improved revenue collection through digitization, trader data management, and regulatory enforcement.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the factors hindering the development of habitable housing in Nduga Regency from geographical, infrastructural, sociopolitical, economic, and cultural perspectives. Research Methodology: This research employs a qualitative descriptive approach using observation, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. Informants included local residents, government officials, and traditional leaders directly involved in housing development dynamics. Data were systematically coded and analyzed thematically to capture the complex interaction of multiple constraints affecting proper housing provision. Results: The findings indicate that extreme geographical conditions, limited infrastructure, ongoing sociopolitical instability, weak economic capacity, and strong adherence to traditional housing norms constitute the primary barriers to adequate housing development. These interrelated factors mutually reinforce one another, restrict modernization efforts, and exacerbate structural inequalities in access to proper shelter across communities. Conclusions: Housing development in Nduga Regency faces multidimensional challenges extending beyond technical and construction-related issues. Sustainable and inclusive solutions require a holistic, integrated approach that aligns infrastructure development, political stability, economic empowerment, and culturally sensitive adaptation. Without such integration, housing disparities are likely to persist and continue to undermine community well-being. Limitations: This study is context-specific to Nduga Regency; therefore, its findings may not be directly generalizable to other regions without further comparative or longitudinal studies. Contributions: This research provides practical insights for local governments, NGOs, and housing developers in formulating adaptive and context-sensitive housing policies. The study contributes theoretically and empirically by proposing a multidimensional analytical framework for understanding housing development barriers in remote and conflict-prone regions.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the influence of village fund capital participation on the development of Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMKam) and its impact on the economic improvement of the community in Wania District, Papua. It seeks to understand how financial support from village funds contributes to the sustainability of BUMKam operations and local economic growth. Research/methodology: A quantitative descriptive method was applied using questionnaires, observations, and documentation. The sample consisted of 13 respondents, including BUMKam administrators and community members, selected purposively. Data analysis compared pre- and post-capital injection conditions, emphasizing enterprise growth, job creation, and welfare improvement. Results: The findings show that capital participation from village funds has positively influenced the growth of BUMKam in Kampung Mawokauw Jaya and Kampung Nawaripi. It enabled the establishment of several productive units and provided job opportunities, contributing to increased local income and economic activity. However, challenges remain, particularly in financial reporting and management capacity among BUMKam administrators. Conclusions: While the injection of capital has facilitated enterprise growth and modest improvements in local welfare, the full potential of BUMKam is hindered by gaps in administrative skills and community engagement. Sustainable impact requires capacity building, transparent governance, and strategic support. Limitations: The study’s small sample size and reliance on descriptive analysis limit broader generalization and causal conclusions. Contribution: This study provides preliminary evidence of the positive impact of Village Fund capital participation on Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMKam) and the local economy, while offering practical insights for more effective village fund management.

Abstract

Purpose: This study examines whether there is a gap between taxpayers’ perceived importance and satisfaction with services at the East Belitung Samsat Office. This study focuses on evaluating the service quality dimensions tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy to determine whether the services provided align with public expectations. Research methodology: The study employed a survey approach with a sample of 100 respondents selected through quota sampling, representing taxpayers who had received services at the Samsat Office. Secondary data, including employee profiles and statistical data on the number of taxpayers, were also used. The analysis applied The Wilcoxon Test was used to compare the perceived importance of each service dimension with the actual satisfaction level reported by respondents. Results: The Wilcoxon test analysis demonstrated a statistically significant difference between importance and satisfaction across all five dimensions of service quality. This indicates that although taxpayers consider the services important, their actual experience with the services provided has not yet reached the expected standards. Conclusion: The study concludes that the quality of services at the East Belitung Samsat Office does not fully meet taxpayers’ expectations, as significant service gaps were identified. Limitations: This research is constrained by its sample size of only 100 respondents, obtained through quota sampling, which may not adequately represent the broader taxpayer population of East Belitung. Contribution: This study contributes to the application of the SERVQUAL model in public sector services and provides valuable insights into service quality evaluation within the Indonesian tax administration context.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to examine the influence of work teams and work environments on organizational loyalty among employees. It specifically explored how teamwork dynamics and workplace conditions contribute to fostering employee loyalty at Hikmah Masamba General Hospital. Research Methodology: A descriptive quantitative approach was employed with a total population of 50 employees, consisting of 26 staff in nursing services and 24 staff in midwifery services. Using a saturated sampling technique, the entire population was included as respondents. Data were collected through structured procedures and analyzed with SPSS version 26, focusing on both partial and simultaneous testing of the independent variables—work team and work environment—on employee loyalty. Results: The results show that both work team and work environment significantly influence organizational loyalty, whether evaluated separately or collectively. These findings highlight that teamwork quality and a supportive environment are critical factors in shaping employee commitment and loyalty within hospital organizations. Conclusions: The study concluded that organizational loyalty is strongly determined by effective teamwork and conducive workplace conditions. Therefore, strengthening collaboration and improving work environments are essential strategies for enhancing loyalty among hospital employees. Limitations: The scope of this research was limited to a single institution, Hikmah Masamba General Hospital, thus restricting the generalizability of its findings to broader contexts. Contribution: This study enriches the literature on organizational loyalty and offers practical insights for healthcare management in developing loyalty through team collaboration and workplace improvements.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the perception of employees and patients regarding the effectiveness and efficiency of financial management at the Regional Public Service Agency (BLUD) of Mimika District Hospital. Research/methodology: A quantitative descriptive approach was used, with data collected through Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to financial management staff at RSUD Mimika. Descriptive statistics were applied to analyze the data. Patient satisfaction was also assessed using the SERVQUAL model, which covers tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. Results: The study found that the financial effectiveness of RSUD Mimika between 2021 and 2023 was only 23%, meaning revenue realization reached just a quarter of the target. Efficiency stood at 90.88%, classified as “less efficient,” indicating suboptimal budget utilization. Staff satisfaction was moderate, reflecting shortcomings in equipment, communication, and welfare policies. Patient satisfaction was relatively high in core services but only moderate in supporting aspects, such as waiting facilities, information clarity, and emergency responsiveness. Conclusions: Although the BLUD financial model provides flexibility, RSUD Mimika still faces low revenue realization and efficiency challenges. Employee and patient satisfaction levels show that BLUD implementation has not yet translated into consistent service quality improvements or operational sustainability. Limitations: This study is limited to one institution and uses perception-based data without triangulation from financial audits or qualitative interviews, limiting its generalizability. Contribution: The study contributes empirical evidence on BLUD implementation in regional hospitals, offering insights for strengthening health financial governance and guiding future reforms.
