Abstract

Objective: To analyze the level of teachers' work motivation after the COVID-19 pandemic in vocational high schools in East Padang and to examine its implications for improving educational quality. The findings are expected to provide evidence-based recommendations for strengthening teacher motivation as an essential component in achieving Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 4: Quality Education. Method: A descriptive quantitative research design. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire distributed to teachers at vocational high schools in East Padang. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to determine the level of teachers' work motivation based on several motivational indicators.  Results:  The findings indicate that the overall level of teachers' work motivation reached an achievement score of 78%, which falls within the fairly high category. Responsibility, perseverance, independence, and work enthusiasm contributed positively to teachers' motivation; however, several aspects still require improvement. The study also highlights the important role of school principals in enhancing teachers' motivation through supportive leadership, adequate facilities, and appropriate incentive systems. Strengthening teachers' motivation is expected to improve teaching quality and student learning outcomes, thereby supporting the realization of inclusive and quality education. Novelty: The study provides recent empirical evidence regarding teachers' work motivation in the post-COVID-19 educational context at vocational high schools in Indonesia. Unlike previous studies that primarily examined teacher motivation before or during the pandemic, this research specifically focuses on post-pandemic conditions and emphasizes the importance of school leadership in sustaining teacher motivation. Furthermore, the study links teacher motivation with the achievement of SDG 4, highlighting its contribution to improving educational quality and promoting sustainable educational development.

Abstract

Objective: The transition from higher education to the workplace represents a critical stage that requires students to possess adequate psychological resources and career competencies. This study aims to examine the influence of career adaptability and willingness to compromise on students’ work readiness during the school-to-work transition while highlighting its contribution to SDG 4 (Quality Education) through the development of employability competencies. Method: This study employed a quantitative descriptive approach using a correlational research design. The population consisted of 119,260 university students from seven universities in West Sumatra, Indonesia. A total of 210 students were selected using incidental sampling techniques. Data were collected using career adaptability, willingness to compromise, and work readiness instruments. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics, simple linear regression, and multiple linear regression analysis.  Results:  The findings indicate that students demonstrated high levels of career adaptability and willingness to compromise, while their work readiness was categorized as moderate. Career adaptability significantly contributed to work readiness by 24.1%, while willingness to compromise contributed 11.3%. Simultaneously, both variables explained 27.5% of the variance in students’ work readiness.  Novelty: This study highlights the importance of strengthening career adaptability as an educational strategy to improve graduate employability and support SDG 4 by promoting quality education that prepares students for sustainable career development.

Abstract

Objective: The increasing complexity of academic responsibilities requires university teachers to continuously develop innovative work behavior to improve educational quality. However, work-family conflict and job stress may become barriers that reduce educators’ ability to contribute innovative practices in higher education. This study aims to investigate the impact of work-family conflict and job stress on innovative work behavior with job satisfaction as a mediating variable among university women teachers in Indonesia. This study contributes to SDG 4 (Quality Education) by emphasizing the importance of educator well-being and innovation capacity in strengthening educational quality. Method: A quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS). The research sample consisted of 260 university women teachers from ten private universities in Indonesia selected using a snowball sampling technique. Data were collected using instruments measuring work-family conflict, job stress, job satisfaction, and innovative work behavior. Data analysis was performed using SmartPLS 3.  Results:  The results indicate that work-family conflict and job stress have negative and significant effects on innovative work behavior. Furthermore, work-family conflict and job stress negatively affect job satisfaction, while job satisfaction has a positive and significant influence on innovative work behavior. Job satisfaction also significantly mediates the relationship between work-family conflict and job stress on innovative work behavior.  Novelty: The study provides new insights into the importance of improving educators’ psychological well-being and job satisfaction as strategies to encourage innovative behavior among university teachers. These findings support SDG 4 by highlighting the role of teacher capacity development in achieving sustainable and high-quality education.

Abstract

Objective: The study examines the financial and social performance of microfinance institutions (MFIs) and assesses whether digitalization and its interaction with institution size are associated with operational self-sufficiency and outreach. Method: The analysis uses an unbalanced panel from the MIX Marker database. The descriptive output covers 1999-2019 and contains up to 20,120 institution-year observations. Fixed-effects panel regressions are reported for operational self-sufficiency (OSS) and the number of active borrowers (NAB), with profitability, loan volume, capital adequancy, funding structure, proverty outreach, total assets, and digitalization as explanatory variables. Result: Return on assets in positively associated with OSS, while loan volume is strongly associated with NAB. A higher depositto-loan ratio is linked to stronger OSS. The share of cliencts below the proverty line is positively associated with OSS but negatively associated with NAB. The direct digitalization coefficient and the digitalization-total-assests interaction are statistically insignificant in the reported models. Novelty: The study separates financial sustainability from social outreach and test whether digital maturity changes the size-performance relationship in an international MFI panel. The result show that digital adoption alone does not guarantee stronger double-bottom-line performance.

Abstract

Objective: The study examines the sustainability performance of Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) by analyzing the roles of competition, double bottom line performance, and digitalization in supporting the achievement of SDG 1, which focuses on poverty reduction. Specifically, this study investigates how financial sustainability and social outreach dimensions contribute to sustainable MFI development. Method: The study employs an unbalanced panel dataset obtained from the MIX Market database covering the period 1999–2019. The dataset consists of up to 20,120 institution-year observations from MFIs operating across various countries. Fixed-effects panel regression models are applied to examine the determinants of Operational Self-Sufficiency (OSS) as a measure of financial sustainability and Number of Active Borrowers (NAB) as an indicator of social outreach. The explanatory variables include profitability, loan portfolio, capital adequacy, funding structure, poverty outreach, total assets, competition, and digitalization.  Results:  The findings indicate that return on assets positively influences OSS, while loan volume significantly contributes to NAB. A higher deposit-to-loan ratio is associated with stronger financial sustainability. Furthermore, poverty outreach shows a positive relationship with OSS but a negative relationship with NAB. However, digitalization and its interaction with institutional size do not demonstrate statistically significant effects in the examined models. Novelty: To contribute to the microfinance literature by distinguishing financial sustainability and social outreach as separate dimensions of double bottom line performance and examining whether digitalization strengthens the relationship between institutional characteristics and sustainability outcomes. The findings provide insights into how MFIs can support SDG 1 through sustainable financial inclusion strategies.
