Abstract

Purpose: This study examines whether team cohesiveness and emotional intelligence significantly predict the clinical performance of inpatient nurses.Research Design and Methodology: A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 197 staff nurses in a tertiary referral hospital in Bandung, Indonesia. Data were collected using structured questionnaires measuring cohesiveness, emotional intelligence, and performance. Instrument validity and reliability were confirmed, followed by classical assumption testing and multiple linear regression analysis, including t-tests, F-tests, and coefficient of determination.Findings and Discussion: Both cohesiveness and emotional intelligence were rated high by respondents and showed positive and significant effects on nurse performance, both partially and simultaneously. The model explained 36.2% of the variance in performance, indicating that interpersonal and emotional competencies are meaningful but not exclusive determinants of clinical outcomes.Implications: Strengthening teamwork climate and emotional competence development programs may improve nursing performance. Hospital management should integrate team-based training and emotional intelligence development into workforce policies, while future studies should incorporate organizational and leadership variables to increase explanatory power.

Abstract

This study examines the partial and simultaneous effects of unemployment, education, and poverty on divorce rates in Gorontalo Province. Using an associative quantitative approach, the research analyzes seven years of secondary time-series data (2018–2024) obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Gorontalo Province. The study applies panel data regression to evaluate relationships among variables. The findings show that unemployment significantly influences divorce rates, indicating that higher unemployment is associated with a greater likelihood of divorce. Education level has a significant negative effect, meaning higher educational attainment tends to reduce divorce occurrences. Poverty demonstrates a significant positive effect, suggesting increased poverty elevates divorce risk. Simultaneously, unemployment, education, and poverty jointly exert a significant influence on divorce rates, confirming that divorce represents a multidimensional social phenomenon shaped by interacting economic and social conditions over time. These results highlight the importance of integrated policy interventions, including employment expansion, educational improvement, and poverty alleviation programs, to reduce family instability. Future research is recommended to incorporate cultural and psychological variables to better understand regional variations in marital dissolution.

Abstract

Indonesia, as an agrarian country, has great potential in the development of maize as an important commodity for food, animal feed, and industrial raw materials. However, maize productivity in various regions still faces several challenges, including land degradation, climate change, and pest and disease attacks. To address these issues, the government has introduced Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) as guidelines for sustainable cultivation aimed at improving productivity and farmers’ income. This study aims to analyze the role of the GAP program in increasing the income of maize farmers in Tilongkabila District, Bone Bolango Regency. The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The sample was selected purposively and consisted of 30 maize farmers who had implemented GAP for more than one planting season. Data were collected through observation, questionnaire-based interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed using a Likert scale to assess the role of GAP in terms of production, cost efficiency, and the quality and selling price of harvested maize. The results indicate that the GAP program plays a very significant role in increasing production yields with a score of 83.3%, contributes to production cost efficiency at 79.5%, and has a very strong role in improving product quality and selling prices with a score of 82.4%. These findings demonstrate that the implementation of GAP provides a tangible contribution to increasing maize farmers’ income through higher productivity, cost savings, and improved crop quality.

Abstract

The evolution of digital technology has revolutionized how Generation Z in Indonesia engages in charitable acts through online avenues. This research examined the impact of charity literacy, religiosity, and UTAUT elements (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, facilitating conditions, and social influence) on the intentions to donate online. A quantitative associative method was employed with 160 respondents from Generation Z, utilizing a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed using PLS-SEM through SmartPLS 4.0. The findings revealed that performance expectancy and facilitating conditions significantly influenced online charitable intentions, whereas effort expectancy, social influence, religiosity, and charity literacy had no significant impact. These six factors accounted for 38.3% of the variability in digital charity intentions. These results highlight the necessity for technological accessibility and sufficient resources to boost Generation Z's involvement in digital philanthropy while promoting the importance of charity literacy education and religious principles to enhance the significance of charitable practices.

Abstract

Economic growth is understood as a continuous process towards better economic conditions, reflected in increasing output per capita in the long term and is known as part of the concept of *Modern Economic Growth*. This study uses a quantitative approach with an associative-causal design to examine the effect of education, health, electricity, and water infrastructure on economic growth in Eastern Indonesia. Secondary data were obtained from BPS, including indicators of education, health, Susenas, and GRDP ADHK in 13 provinces during the 2020–2023 period. The analysis was conducted through panel data regression using Stata software, with the model selection stage through the Chow and Hausman tests to obtain a Fixed Effect Model with cluster-robust standard errors as the best model. The estimation results show high explanatory power with an R² value of 0.72 and a significant F test, so that all independent variables simultaneously affect economic growth. Partially, education and health infrastructure have negative and insignificant coefficients, indicating that the benefits of both are more long-term and are influenced by the quality of graduates, job market compatibility, and increased labor productivity. Electricity infrastructure shows a significant positive impact at the 10 percent level, although it remains limited due to the dominance of the primary sector and small-scale businesses. Meanwhile, drinking water infrastructure is considered the strongest variable, with a significant positive impact at the 5 percent level, due to its ability to improve public health, reduce household time and costs, and directly boost productivity and economic activity.

Abstract

This study examines the effect of knowledge sharing on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) with a mentoring program as a mediating variable among fostered partners of PT Perkebunan Nusantara III. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method through structured questionnaires. The population consisted of all MSMEs supported by PT Perkebunan Nusantara III, with 96 business actors selected using purposive sampling based on established development criteria. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to evaluate the relationships among variables simultaneously. The results indicate that knowledge sharing has a positive and significant effect on MSME performance. Furthermore, the mentoring program significantly strengthens the influence of knowledge sharing on business performance. This finding suggests that knowledge sharing becomes more effective when supported by mentoring that is relevant, continuous, and aligned with organizational needs. The study provides practical implications for partnership program managers to develop mentoring as a strategic mechanism to improve knowledge transfer and enhance MSME performance.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of Sustainable Digital Marketing (SDM) and Service Quality on customer trust and loyalty in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), with a focus on youth-based community markets in North Sulawesi. Using a descriptive correlational design and data collected from 325 respondents, the analysis was conducted through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate both direct and indirect relationships. The results show that SDM has a significant direct effect on customer loyalty but does not influence trust, suggesting that sustainability-oriented digital communication strengthens loyalty through value alignment rather than relational confidence. Service Quality is found to strongly enhance trust but does not directly affect loyalty, indicating that trust functions as a key psychological bridge in forming long-term customer commitment. Mediation analysis confirms that trust significantly mediates the relationship between Service Quality and Customer Loyalty, while the relationship between SDM and loyalty is not mediated by trust. Summary of results the study extends the Commitment on Trust Theory within the MSME context and highlights that customer loyalty can emerge through two routes: directly through sustainable digital practices and indirectly through trust formed by consistent service delivery. These findings emphasize the importance of integrating ethical digital communication with reliable and empathetic service performance to strengthen long-term loyalty among young consumers.

Abstract

Smart farming represents a transformative approach in agriculture, integrating digital technologies, automation, and data analytics to improve productivity, sustainability, and efficiency. This study employs a bibliometric analysis to examine research trends, thematic structures, and influential publications on smart farming within agricultural education in Indonesia from 2020 to 2025. Data were collected from Google Scholar using Publish or Perish and filtered to include 833 peer-reviewed journal articles, which were subsequently analyzed using VOSviewer. The analysis identified four primary thematic clusters: (1) technology-driven systems emphasizing IoT, artificial intelligence, big data, and precision agriculture; (2) capacity-building and community engagement focusing on training, extension programs, and skill development; (3) socio-behavioral and institutional factors affecting technology adoption; and (4) contextual and demographic considerations, including generational differences and situational disruptions. Citation analysis revealed that highly cited studies primarily address human resource competency development, entrepreneurship, and agricultural modernization. The findings indicate a growing research focus on technological innovation, while integration of smart farming into agricultural education curricula remains limited. This study provides insights into current research trends and highlights opportunities for pedagogical innovation and strategic integration of digital agricultural technologies in Indonesia’s agricultural education system

Abstract

Sharia-based financial management is a strategic aspect for the sustainability of Islamic educational institutions, particularly within Muslim minority communities. This study aims to analyze the implementation of Sharia business management in financial management at Warasansart Lammai School, Thailand, and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study design through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, analyzed using the Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña model. The findings indicate that the values of amanah (trustworthiness) and transparency have been implemented; however, they are not yet optimal due to the use of manual recording systems, unstructured separation of Sharia funds, and limited human resource understanding of Sharia contracts. This study concludes that the implementation of Sharia business management is still at an early stage and requires strengthening through the development of Sharia financial standard operating procedures (SOP), enhancement of human resource capacity, and the development of more transparent and accountable reporting systems.

Abstract

The development of digital banking in Indonesia has significantly changed customer transaction behavior, including at Bank Maybank. Digital services such as M2U and Smart Branch initiatives have encouraged some customers to shift toward online transactions, although many still prefer in-person services at branch offices. This situation requires the bank to identify the factors that influence customers’ decisions to conduct transactions at the branch. This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality, location, and brand image on customer transaction decisions at Bank Maybank KC Pangkalpinang. The population consists of customers who conduct transactions at the branch, and a sample of 100 respondents was selected using a non-probability sampling technique through accidental sampling. Data were processed using quantitative methods, including instrument testing (validity and reliability), classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression analysis with t-tests and F-tests, using SPSS version 26. The results indicate that: (1) Service quality has a positive and significant effect on customer transaction decisions; (2) Location has no positive and insignificant effect on customer transaction decisions; (3) Brand image has a positive and significant effect on customer transaction decisions; and (4) Service quality, location, and brand image simultaneously have a significant effect on customer transaction decisions at Bank Maybank KC Pangkalpinang.
