This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style and the implementation of e-performance systems on employee performance at the Provincial Education Office of South Sumatra. Employee performance is a crucial element in achieving organizational goals, while leadership style and e-performance systems are considered key factors influencing success. This research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to employees, with samples determined randomly. The results indicate that leadership style has a positive but not significant effect on employee performance. Leaders who can motivate and involve subordinates in decision-making tend to enhance employee productivity. The implementation of e-performance systems also has a positive impact on performance, especially through transparency and efficiency in performance evaluation. Simultaneous analysis shows that leadership style and e-performance systems together contribute significantly to improving employee performance, with a coefficient of determination of 67%. However, the study also identifies challenges such as a lack of technological understanding among employees and inadequate infrastructure. Therefore, it is recommended to enhance technical training and ensure the availability of supporting facilities to optimize the implementation of e-performance systems. This research provides practical implications for the leadership of the Education Office in improving managerial strategies and human resource management.

This study aims to describe the self-esteem levels of students at Universitas Bhayangkara Jakarta Raya in facing their thesis. Self-esteem is an individual's evaluation of themselves, both positively and negatively, influencing how they tackle academic challenges, including thesis writing. This research employs a descriptive quantitative approach using a survey method, where data were collected through questionnaires distributed to students currently working on their theses. The findings indicate that most students have a moderate level of self-esteem, with a minority categorized as having high or low self-esteem. No significant differences in self-esteem levels were found based on gender. Factors such as social support from peers and academic advisors play a crucial role in enhancing students’ self-esteem during the thesis process. This research provides insights into the importance of self-esteem in academic success and its implications for developing academic support programs in higher education institutions.

This study discusses the design of a promotional video for Tinctori by implementing marketing 5.0 to enhance the effectiveness of marketing sustainable products. Tinctori is a fashion company that utilizes natural dyes, supporting the concept of sustainable fashion and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, its current promotional strategy has not been optimal in capturing the attention of its target audience, particularly the upper-middle-class consumers who are environmentally conscious. The findings indicate that applying cinematography in promotional videos can enhance visual appeal, audience engagement, and understanding of Tinctori’s sustainability values. The designed video showcases the natural dyeing process with artistic, transparent, and emotional visuals, strengthening brand identity and increasing consumer purchase interest. Evaluations from videography experts and the target audience confirm that the video effectively conveys the sustainability message and raises awareness of environmentally friendly fashion.

This study aims to describe and analyze: Accountability of budget management of the Maybrat district secretariat and inhibiting factors of accountability of the budget management of the Maybrat district regional secretariat.

Adolescent girls face various challenges in understanding reproductive health and the risks of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV/AIDS. Limited education and communication barriers with parents lead many adolescents to seek information from unreliable sources. This community service program aimed to enhance adolescent girls' understanding of reproductive health and HIV/AIDS prevention through the peer education method. The program was conducted in Karya Tani, Kecamatan Medan Johor, Pangkalan Masyhur, involving 18 adolescent girls aged 15-19 years as the primary participants. The methods used in this program included Focus Group Discussions (FGD), refusal skills training, interactive discussions, and pre-test and post-test evaluations. The evaluation results indicated a 5% increase in knowledge about reproductive health, a 10% improvement in HIV/AIDS awareness, and a 39% rise in participants’ self-confidence. Although the program had a positive impact on increasing adolescent awareness, challenges remained, such as limited program duration, low parental involvement, and communication barriers in discussing reproductive health issues. As a recommendation, extending the program duration, actively involving parents and educators, and collaborating with local health institutions are essential to ensure sustainable education. This program is expected to serve as a model for improving adolescent girls' understanding of reproductive health and HIV/AIDS, enabling them to make more informed decisions regarding their health and future.

Healthy food is food that when we consume it will be able to meet nutritional needs in accordance with health standards to increase intelligence and rich healthy life (Dilla Ratih et al., 2022). Fulfillment of nutrition for early childhood is also one of the things that is important for child development. The purpose of this journal article is to analyze the effectiveness of the play therapy approach in increasing early childhood understanding of healthy food at Wadi Fatimah Kindergarten. The method used is participatory education-based socialization, which involves visual media, educational games, and hands-on demonstrations to increase children's involvement in learning. Evaluation results showed a significant increase in children's understanding of healthy food after participating in this activity. Children who previously lacked understanding of the difference between healthy and unhealthy foods began to be able to identify nutritious foods well. Educational games such as “Teman Sehat (Guess Healthy Food)” proved to be effective in attracting children's attention and improving their memory of healthy food concepts. However, there are challenges in consistently implementing healthy eating habits, especially due to influences from outside the school environment. Therefore, active involvement from parents and teachers is needed to maintain healthy eating habits in daily life.
