This study aims to analyze the strategies used by Islamic banks to improve Islamic financial literacy in the digital era and to identify the challenges and opportunities that arise during their implementation. A mixed method approach with a concurrent triangulation design was applied, combining qualitative data collected through interviews and document analysis with quantitative data gathered from community perception surveys regarding Islamic financial literacy.

Overall, the study concludes that the success of Islamic financial literacy programs depends on the sustainable integration of educational and digital strategies.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work discipline, work motivation, and incentive provision on employee performance in the production department of PT Wonojati Wijoyo. The study employed an associative quantitative approach, with 65 respondents selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire that passed validity and reliability tests.

The results show that work discipline has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, while work motivation and incentive provision have no significant effect. However, simultaneously, the three variables significantly affect employee performance, with a coefficient of determination of 77.9%, indicating that the remaining 22.1% is influenced by other factors not included in the model. These findings highlight the importance of implementing human resource management policies that balance discipline, reward systems, and motivation programs to improve employee performance sustainably.

This study aims to analyze the influence of emotional intelligence, work discipline, and job commitment on employee productivity at DP3AP2KB Kota Kediri. The research employed a quantitative approach with a population of 45 employees, all of whom were included as the sample using a saturated sampling technique. The research instrument was a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire tested for validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of SPSS version 25, preceded by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity). The results indicate that emotional intelligence has a significant partial effect on employee productivity, while work discipline and job commitment show no significant effect. However, simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect productivity with an Adjusted R² value of 0.846. These findings highlight that emotional intelligence is the dominant factor influencing productivity, whereas work discipline and job commitment function more as basic requirements already embedded within bureaucratic systems. The practical implication of this study suggests the need for soft skill development programs, emotional management training, and the improvement of employees’ interpersonal skills to enhance productivity in the public sector.
