This article aims to analyze the role of human resource management in improving organizational performance and formulate strategic recommendations based on improvements in human resource management practices. The theoretical foundations used include strategic human resource management theory, organizational performance theory, and work motivation theory, which are used to examine the functions of workforce planning, competency development, performance appraisal, and reward systems.

This study aims to analyze the effect of price and product quality on purchasing decisions of Gudang Garam Signature Kretek cigarettes in the premium machine-made kretek segment. The Indonesian tobacco industry continues to face sustained regulatory pressure through excise tax increases and intensifying brand competition, prompting consumers to reassess purchasing decisions using both rational evaluation and experiential judgment. A quantitative correlational approach was employed in this study. Primary data were collected through structured Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 100 active consumers of Gudang Garam Signature Kretek selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data analysis was conducted through validity testing, reliability testing, and multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS software. The results indicate that price and product quality have a positive and significant influence on purchasing decisions, both partially and simultaneously. Product quality emerged as the most dominant factor, suggesting that premium cigarette consumers prioritize consistent quality, taste, aroma, and overall consumption experience as the primary basis for decision-making. Meanwhile, price remains an important rational reference for assessing the fairness between perceived benefits and financial sacrifice. Simultaneously, both variables explain 50 percent of the variation in purchasing decisions, while the remaining variance is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings highlight that purchasing decisions in the premium cigarette market are shaped by a value-based assessment, where sustained product quality and adaptive pricing strategies play a critical role in maintaining consumer loyalty amid regulatory pressure and evolving market dynamics

This study aims to analyze the influence of brand image, product variety, and bundling price on purchasing decisions among X consumers. The method used is a quantitative approach with a causal research design, so as to be able to explain the cause-and-effect relationship between variables. The research data was obtained by distributing questionnaires to 96 respondents who are active consumers of X. To ensure data quality, a series of tests were conducted including validity, reliability, normality, linearity, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity. The main analysis used multiple linear regression supported by t-tests, F-tests, and coefficient of determination (R²) processed using SPSS software version 26. The results showed that brand image had a significant effect on purchasing decisions, indicating that consumers' positive perceptions of X's reputation were able to encourage higher purchasing interest. Bundling price also proved to have a significant effect, because the strategy of combining package prices was considered to provide economic benefits and added value for consumers. In contrast, product variety did not have a significant effect, indicating that consumers place more emphasis on brand image and pricing strategies than simply menu diversity. However, when tested simultaneously, all three variables were still shown to have a significant influence on purchasing decisions. The coefficient of determination value of 0.594 indicates that the combination of the three variables can explain 59.4% of the variation in purchasing decisions, while the remaining 40.6% is influenced by other external factors such as service quality, consumer trends, promotions, and customer experience. These findings reinforce the understanding that a strong brand image-based marketing strategy and the implementation of appropriate bundling prices can be key to increasing consumer appeal. For local coffee businesses like X, this study provides practical implications to focus more efforts on strengthening brand image, creating a consistent consumer experience, and optimizing pricing strategies.

The research method used is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach, through observation, interview, and documentation study techniques. The results of this study (1) The principle used by BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun is a combined principle, because the storage of active archives and inactive archives is carried out separately, active archives are in the membership room while inactive archives are in the archive room. (2) BPJS Ketenagakerjaan applies a numeric system by sorting the Company Registration Number (NPP) from the smallest to the largest so that it is easy to find archives when needed. (3) The role of archivists is very much needed, but in BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun there is a streamlining of the organizational structure resulting in the absence of archivists within it. (4) Archive management is still faced with several obstacles, such as limited storage space, still carried out manually, and a lack of workers with special competencies in the field of archiving. BPJS Ketenagakerjaan Jakarta Rawamangun Branch has also attempted to overcome these obstacles by digitizing participant archives, although the implementation has not been fully integrated into an adequate electronic archive management system. The conclusion of this study is the need to increase the capacity of human resources in archiving, optimize storage space and facilities, and develop an integrated digital system to achieve more effective and efficient management of inactive membership records.
