Abstract

Objective: This empirical study examines the implementation of the Independent Student Exchange Program (Pertukaran Mahasiswa Merdeka—PMM) as part of Indonesia’s independent learning-independent campus (Merdeka Belajar-Kampus Merdeka—MBKM) policy. It aims to identify the factors determining the successful implementation of the outbound student exchange program at Universitas Brawijaya and evaluate its effectiveness in enhancing graduate competencies that are more aligned with labor market demands and national higher education objectives. Design/Methods/Approach: This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach. Data was collected through observations, in-depth interviews with key informants, and documentation of institutional policies and program reports. The collected data were analyzed using an interactive qualitative analysis model consisting of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, enabling a comprehensive assessment of institutional readiness, implementation processes, and program outcomes. Findings: The findings reveal that the success of the PMM program is influenced by both internal and external factors. Internal factors include leadership commitment, curriculum adaptability, digital infrastructure, student selection mechanisms, and continuous monitoring systems, while external factors comprise regulatory support, national socio-economic and political conditions, and inter-university collaboration. The program has contributed to improving students’ academic competencies, leadership, cultural awareness, critical thinking, independence, and readiness to respond to global challenges. Originality/Value: This study contributes to higher education and public policy literature by providing an institutional analysis of PMM implementation within the MBKM framework. It highlights the interaction between organizational readiness and external institutional support as key determinants of program effectiveness, offering empirical evidence from one of Indonesia’s leading public universities. Practical/Policy implication: The findings suggest that higher education institutions should strengthen institutional capacity, improve mentoring quality, expand strategic partnerships, and implement continuous curriculum evaluation to ensure Graduate Learning Outcomes remain adaptive to interdisciplinary competencies developed through student mobility programs. These measures can support the sustainability and effectiveness of MBKM implementation.

Abstract

Objective: This systematic review investigates the theoretical foundations and organizational applications of Perceived Organizational Support (POS), focusing on how employees’ perceptions of organizational support influence attitudes, behaviors, and performance outcomes across multiple industry sectors. Design/Methods/Approach: This study adopts a PRISMA-based Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. A total of 103 peer-reviewed articles were retrieved from the Scopus database covering the period 2012–2025. The review process followed the PRISMA stages of identification, screening, eligibility, and inclusion, with articles selected based on predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria to ensure relevance and methodological rigor. The complete search strategy, including search strings and selection procedures, is described in the Methods section. Bibliometric analysis was conducted using VOSviewer to map co-authorship networks, keyword co-occurrence, and citation patterns. Findings: The results indicate that POS is shaped by both individual-level factors, such as job autonomy, leadership style, and trust in management, and organizational-level factors, including Human Resource Management (HRM) practices and organizational support systems. Elevated POS is consistently associated with reduced turnover intention, higher employee engagement, stronger organizational commitment, increased innovation, and improved job performance. Social Exchange Theory (SET) remains the most frequently applied theoretical framework, while the IT/technology, healthcare, and education sectors represent the dominant research contexts. Originality/Value: This review integrates fragmented POS literature into a coherent framework and highlights gaps in theoretical application and geographical context. In particular, Conservation of Resources Theory and Job Demands–Resources Theory remain underutilized, while non-Western organizational contexts are still limited. The study contributes to developing a more comprehensive understanding of POS in modern organizational environments. Practical/Policy Implication: Organizations should strengthen employee perceptions of support by implementing supportive leadership practices, responsive HRM systems, and transparent organizational policies. Creating psychologically safe environments is essential, particularly in hybrid and remote work settings, to sustain positive employee outcomes.

Abstract

Objective: To analyze the transformation of the regional waste management system through institutional, legal, and Regional Public Service Agency (Badan Layanan Umum Daerah-BLUD) financial frameworks in response to the chronic overcapacity at the Regional Landfill (Tempat Pemrosesan Akhir Regional-TPAR) Kebon Kongok, West Nusa Tenggara (receiving 300 tons/day against a 200 tons/day design capacity). Design/Methods/Approach: This study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining a quantitative survey of 100 respondents with qualitative interviews of four key informants. The data were analyzed using a multi-stakeholder weighted SWOT (Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) approach. Findings: The results reveal a 20% awareness-action gap (63% awareness vs. 43% active implementation) among stakeholders. Furthermore, the SWOT analysis positions the facility in Quadrant II (IFA = -0.468, EFA = +0.102), indicating the need for a turnaround (WO) strategy. The study also identifies complex Negative Impact Compensation (Kompensasi Dampak Negatif-KDN) procedures and limited capacity as root causes, infrastructure deficits and a nascent circular economy as structural barriers, and the NIMBY syndrome as a social manifestation. Originality/Value: This study contributes by formulating a novel Multi-Level Barriers Framework that systematically categorizes the root causes, structural barriers, and social manifestations of regional waste management challenges, specifically integrating institutional, legal, and BLUD financial perspectives. Practical/Policy implication: The formulated framework provides actionable strategic priorities, including KDN procedure reform, circular economy development, and phased BLUD enhancement. These recommendations are directly aligned with achieving the regional targets set by Governor Regulation No. 14/2020 for waste reduction (30%) and handling (70%).

Abstract

Objective: The revitalization of the Kayutangan Corridor has changed the physical condition of the sidewalk and made the corridor more attractive for pedestrians. However, a better sidewalk does not automatically mean that the corridor functions as a social space. The main issue is whether people use the revitalized corridor as a place to stay, gather, interact, and spend time, rather than only as a route. This study describes how social space is formed in the Kayutangan Corridor. Design/Methods/Approach: The research used a qualitative method. Behavior mapping was used to observe activities across four segments on weekdays and weekends. The study included 881 participants and focused on their age, group, length of stay, and activity. Findings: The results show a clear temporal pattern of social activity, with peaks on weekend nights. On weekends, especially at night, segments 2 and 3 function as the main social space where people stay longer and visit in groups more often. In contrast, Segments 1 and 4 mostly serve as transition corridors. People of different ages also use the corridor, indicating its inclusiveness. Originality/Value: Unlike previous studies that mainly discuss physical improvement, tourism development, or street furniture in revitalized heritage corridors, this study emphasizes how temporal use, spatial setting, lingering, group presence, and activity diversity shape social space. Practical/Policy implication: These findings suggest that urban corridor revitalization should focus not only on physical improvements but also on how sidewalks can enhance lingering, social interaction, and inclusive everyday use. Thus, the sidewalk can function as a meaningful public social space.

Abstract

Objective: This study develops an interdisciplinary framework of reflective agency by examining how desire, reason, expectation, and disappointment relate to self-regulation and moral education. Design/Methods/Approach: The study employed an interpretive integrative literature review drawing on an analytic corpus of 27 core philosophical and psychological sources purposively selected for their direct relevance to the research questions. The sources were thematically coded and compared to identify recurring patterns, conceptual differences, and areas of functional complementarity across disciplines. Findings: Four themes emerged. Desire provides the motivational force that initiates action; reason evaluates and regulates action; disappointment arises when actual outcomes fail to match affectively invested expectations; and reflective self-regulation develops through maturation, education, socialization, and social support. The synthesis also indicates that Humean and Platonic perspectives can be understood as functionally complementary rather than strictly opposed. Originality/Value: The study reframes the relation between desire and reason as a socially mediated problem of reflective agency. It proposes an interdisciplinary framework linking motivation, expectation, disappointment, and self-regulation across philosophy and psychology. Practical/Policy implication: Moral education and socialization should cultivate emotional awareness, realistic expectation management, reflective judgment, and constructive responses to frustration. These capacities may strengthen character development and educational practices that help individuals interpret disappointment as an opportunity for adjustment and learning.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyse the process of reconstructing religious tolerance after the terrorist attacks in Surakarta (a medium-size city) and to identify factors contributing to the restoration of interfaith relations through a social and cultural approach.Design/Methods/Approach: Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, this study involved interfaith leaders, local government, and civil society communities active in peace movements and interfaith dialogue. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentary studies, then analysed using Miles and Huberman's interactive model with source, technique, and time triangulation techniques to ensure data validity.Findings: The results show that the reconstruction of tolerance in Solo took place in three main stages: post- traumatic social recovery, strengthening of interfaith solidarity, and institutionalisation of tolerance values through public policy. Three key aspects contributed to the success of this process: Javanese local wisdom (harmonious, tolerance, collaborative), intercultural communication through arts activities and public dialogue, and institutional support from the Forum for Religious Harmony (FRH), The National Unity and Politics Agency (NUPA), and the city government.Originality/Value: This process formed a model of social reconstruction based on religious literacy and intercultural communication that effectively strengthened social harmony. In conclusion, the people of Solo have successfully transformed the trauma caused by terrorism into new social energy to strengthen interfaith cohesion.Practical/Policy implication: This study contributes to the development of theory and practice of social reconstruction based on local wisdom in the study of the sociology of religion and multicultural public policy. Preventing radicalism and post-terror social recovery need to go beyond a security approach. Regional governments need to design tolerance policies based on local wisdom, religious literacy, intercultural communication, interfaith spaces, and sustainable, participatory collaboration between the Interfaith Communication Forum (ICF), education, cultural communities, religious leaders, youth, and civil society.
