Leadership and quality management issues in education are important concerns in efforts to improve the quality of educational services and outcomes. Various studies have shown that the quality of principal leadership significantly influences the performance of educational organizations, but a comprehensive synthesis of leadership models and their implementation in quality management is still limited. This article aims to review the literature related to the role of leadership in implementing quality management strategies. The method used is a literature review with a qualitative approach. Data were obtained from Google Scholar and the Publish or Perish application with the keyword "Quality Leadership," covering the publication period 2020–2025. Of the 20 identified articles, a screening and selection process was carried out, resulting in 5 articles for in-depth analysis. The results of the thematic review indicate three main trends: (1) the integration of leadership and quality management strategies impacts educational performance and standards, (2) transformational, visionary, and leadership styles contribute differently to quality improvement, and (3) the urgency of effective leadership is seen in the ability to build a quality culture and face global challenges. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the central role of leadership in educational quality. Further research is recommended to explore the influence of digital and collaborative leadership in the context of 21st-century education.

Conflict management has become an increasingly important concern in various areas of life, whether in education, organizations, or society at large, especially in the face of the fast-paced dynamics of the digital age. The complexity of interactions between individuals and groups poses unique challenges that require conflict management strategies that not only focus on problem solving, but also aim to create harmony, collaboration, and increased productivity. This study aims to systematically review the literature discussing conflict management issues during the period 2020 to 2024. The two main questions asked are: (1) what are the latest trends and approaches in conflict management research, and (2) what conflict management strategies are most widely used in various social and professional contexts. The results of the review show that recent research highlights three main areas of conflict management application, namely in the context of education, the organizational work environment, and family life. Several dominant strategies that emerge include the importance of effective communication, active participation from all parties involved, the implementation of an adaptive organizational culture, and an approach based on social harmony values. Overall, this study confirms that conflict management is multidimensional and continues to evolve toward more strategic and contextual application. Future research is expected to integrate cross-disciplinary findings to develop conflict management models that are more responsive to the challenges of the digital age.

Regional budget management constitutes a critical foundation for achieving good governance in the era of decentralization and regional autonomy. This article comprehensively examines the pivotal role of accountability and transparency as essential instruments in enhancing the quality of regional budget governance. Employing a qualitative research methodology through systematic literature review and policy analysis, this study investigates the conceptual framework, implementation mechanisms, and practical implications of accountability and transparency principles in regional financial management. The findings reveal that robust implementation of accountability mechanisms—including financial reporting systems, internal and external oversight, and performance measurement—coupled with comprehensive transparency practices through information disclosure, public participation, and digital technology utilization, significantly contribute to strengthening institutional legitimacy, enhancing budget allocation efficiency, and preventing corruption. The research identifies that accountability is operationalized through multiple layers including legal compliance, procedural adherence, program effectiveness, and policy justification, while transparency manifests through open access to budget documents, participatory planning processes, and technology-enabled information systems. However, the study also uncovers substantial implementation challenges encompassing limited human resource capacity in financial management, inadequate inter-agency coordination, varying levels of public financial literacy and participation, and disparities in technological infrastructure between urban and rural areas. These challenges necessitate a multi-dimensional approach to reform. The article proposes evidence-based policy recommendations including systematic capacity building programs for government apparatus, strengthening regulatory frameworks with effective enforcement mechanisms, community empowerment through financial literacy initiatives, strategic investment in integrated digital platforms, and fostering collaborative partnerships among government institutions, legislative bodies, oversight agencies, civil society organizations, and citizens.

This research discusses the phenomenon of social organizations (ormas) in Indonesia from a legal perspective and the challenges of democracy. The freedom of association guarantyd by Article 28E paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution serves as the legal basis for the existence of social organizations, which are further regulated by Law Number 17 of 2013 and Law Number 16 of 2017. Regulatory changes, particularly the government's authority to dissolve mass organizations without judicial process, have sparked a debate between the need to maintain public order and the guaranty of the principle of due process of law. The research method used is normative juridical with a legislative and conceptual approach, supported by a literature study from primary and secondary legal materials. The study results show that although mass organizations have great potential in strengthening democracy, challenges such as identity politics, radicalism, lack of funding transparency, and state power abuse against mass organizations still pose major obstacles. Therefore, balanced legal regulations, transparent oversight, and enhanced democratic literacy are needed to ensure that the role of social organizations remains in line with the principles of the rule of law and Pancasila democracy.  

Conflict is an inevitable phenomenon in organizations and educational institutions, and if not managed properly can have a negative impact on performance, effectiveness, and interpersonal relationships. However, conflict also has the potential to be a catalyst for improvement if managed appropriately. Therefore, it is important to systematically examine the stages of conflict, their impacts, and relevant management strategies. This study aims to answer the following questions: (1) How are the stages of conflict identified in various organizational and educational contexts? (2) What are the impacts of conflict on organizations? and (3) What management strategies are most effectively implemented? The method used was a literature review by searching articles through national and international databases using the keywords stages of conflict, conflict management, and education. Of the 73 initial articles, 18 primary articles were selected for thematic analysis. The analysis revealed three main findings: (1) conflict generally develops through stages of latency, escalation, and overt manifestation; (2) conflict negatively impacts performance if left unchecked, but can be constructive if managed; and (3) effective conflict management strategies are contextual, combining structural, interpersonal, and cultural-religious value approaches. In conclusion, this literature highlights the need for adaptive conflict management to maintain organizational stability. Further research is suggested to explore integrative models of conflict management based on local values and educational practices.

This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style and motivation on the productivity of members of the Student Activity Unit (UKM) Satria Muda Indonesia at the National University of the Republic of Indonesia. The research employed a quantitative descriptive approach, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 30 respondents consisting of active members and administrators. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software and supported by classical assumption tests, including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and autocorrelation tests. The results indicate that leadership style and motivation have a positive and significant effect on member productivity, both partially and simultaneously. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.745 shows that 74.5% of productivity variation is explained by these variables, while the remaining 25.5% is influenced by other factors outside the model. Therefore, it can be concluded that effective leadership and strong motivation are key determinants in improving the productivity of student organizations.

The POSEIDON 2025 program is a community service initiative focused on enhancing environmental resilience and improving the welfare of coastal communities in Kalijaga Hamlet. The program began with a series of surveys aimed at identifying environmental conditions, social dynamics, and the main issues faced by local residents. The survey results revealed rapid sedimentation, accumulated waste along the coastline, and seawater intrusion that rendered groundwater unfit for consumption. Based on these findings, several solution-oriented activities were designed, including the installation of a water filter in the mosque, seminars and socialization on the functions and conservation of mangroves, the planting of 100 mangrove seedlings, the restoration of the Community Hall with the addition of an environmental-themed reading corner, and a beach clean-up activity. The program was carried out over three days with the involvement of local residents, students, academics, and social organizations. The implementation results showed an increase in public awareness of the importance of protecting mangrove ecosystems and coastal cleanliness, improved access to clean water, and enhanced environmental literacy among children. This program demonstrates that interdisciplinary collaboration and active community participation play a vital role in achieving sustainable and resilient coastal development.

These findings confirm that enhancing employee motivation and competence is a strategic factor in improving job satisfaction and performance in public sector organizations.

Conflict is an inevitable phenomenon in organizational dynamics, whether in the education sector, social sector, or wider society. Conflicts that are not managed properly can lead to disintegration, but if handled appropriately, they can become a means of learning and innovation. This literature review aims to identify sources of conflict, resolution strategies used, and their impact on organizational performance. The research questions asked are: (1) What are the main factors causing conflict in educational and social organizations? (2) What are the most effective conflict resolution strategies according to the context? This research method uses a literature review approach by searching articles through Google Scholar and Publish or Perish (PoP) using the keywords “sources AND levels of conflict.” A total of 20 articles were selected from the period 2021–2025, with a final result of five valid articles that were analyzed thematically. The review results show three main themes: (1) sources of conflict include differences in vision, interests, and resource distribution; (2) conflict resolution strategies vary, ranging from mediation, negotiation, to religious and cultural-based approaches; (3) the impact of conflict is ambivalent, it can decrease performance but also encourage positive change.The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of contextual conflict management and opens up opportunities for further research to develop more adaptive resolution models based on local values.

The Industrial Revolution marked a significant milestone in the transformation of the workplace, creating a need for efficiency and more systematic structures within organizations. This development led to the emergence of various management theories, including Frederick W. Taylor's scientific management theory and Henri Fayol's general administrative theory. This study aims to examine the relationship between the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution and the emergence of these two theories, as well as to examine their relevance and application in the context of modern management. The method used was a descriptive qualitative literature review, reviewing various classical and contemporary literature covering three main topics. The results indicate that Taylor's theory emphasizes work efficiency through standardization and scientific supervision, while Fayol's theory highlights the importance of managerial functions and structured organizational principles. Both responded to managerial challenges during the Industrial Revolution and remain relevant today, particularly in human resource management and organizational structure. The implications of this study demonstrate the need for a historical understanding of classical management theories in order to adapt these principles to address managerial challenges in the digital era and Industry 4.0.

The era of digital transformation requires office administration employees to master digital competencies and maintain high work motivation to achieve optimal productivity. This study analyzes the influence of digital competence and work motivation on the productivity of office administration employees in the Greater Bandung area. The main problem studied is the gap in understanding how digital competence and work motivation interact in influencing productivity, considering that the majority of previous studies examined the two variables separately. This study aims to analyze the partial and simultaneous influence of digital competence and work motivation on employee productivity. The research method uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design involving 420 respondents of office administration employees selected through proportionate stratified random sampling. The data collection instrument is a structured questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale that has been validated using Confirmatory Factor Analysis and tested for reliability using Cronbach's Alpha. The data analysis technique uses multiple linear regression analysis by first conducting a classical assumption test to ensure the feasibility of the model. The results showed that digital competence had a significant positive effect on productivity with a regression coefficient of 0.398, work motivation had a significant positive effect with a coefficient of 0.425, and simultaneously the two variables explained 52.8% of the variation in employee productivity. These findings confirm that work motivation has a slightly more dominant influence than digital competence, indicating the importance of psychological factors in maintaining long-term productivity consistency. This research contributes to the development of human resource management theory by integrating Resource-Based View Theory and Self-Determination Theory, as well as providing practical implications for organizations to adopt a dual-track approach in employee development that combines digital competency training with a holistic motivation system.

Pandemic-fueled global crises, geopolitical tensions, and supply chain halt have rendered a cry for resilient community-based economies. Traditional business models have proved to be weak, and context-sensitive and inclusive innovations are required. The purpose of this study is to investigate the ways in which community-based business model innovation contributes to economic resilience after crises through the identification of key features such as collective ownership, digital integration, diversification of distribution, community networks, and microfinance access. Convergent parallel mixed-method design was employed involving 300 community-based MSME respondents and 20 key informants. Surveys and interviews were employed to collect the primary data, while secondary data were obtained from national statistics, international organizations, and academic journals. By regression analysis, digital integration (β=0.352) and collective ownership (β=0.321) are significant factors in enhancing economic resilience, followed by diversification of distribution, social networking, and access to finance. The Resilience Capacity Score (RCS) further reveals that digitalization received the highest RCS, and microfinance access was lowest among the variables. Conceptually, this research takes the concept of community-based Business Model Innovation to the next level and practically recommends stronger digital infrastructure, available microfinance schemes, and capacity building at the community level.

The efficiency of investment decisions is one of the core axes in the success of organizations and the sustainability of their business, especially in light of the dynamic and complex business environment. In this context, the integrated role of both accounting and financial management systems is highlighted, as the harmony between them is a key pillar in providing accurate, real-time, and analytical data that supports the investment decision maker and reduces the degree of uncertainty and risks associated with investments. This research aims to analyze the impact of the integration between accounting systems and financial management on the quality and efficiency of investment decisions within institutions, with a focus on the nature of the causal relationship between the two variables. A conceptual model has been built that illustrates the interaction between the financial information generated by the accounting system and the analytical tools provided by the financial department, which contributes to raising the efficiency of strategic decisions related to investment. To achieve the objectives of the study, a descriptive-analytical approach supported by a standard analysis using a simple linear regression model was adopted on field data extracted from an intentional sample of financial officials in the banking and investment sector. The results showed that there is a statistically significant positive effect of the integration of accounting and financial management systems in enhancing the efficiency of investment decisions, as the model showed that integration contributes more than 50% to the explanation of changes in the quality of investment decisions. The study reached a number of important findings, the most prominent of which is that the lack of integration or poor coordination between accounting and financial management leads to delays in decisions or making them based on incomplete or contradictory information. Effective integration enables organizations to allocate resources more efficiently and evaluate investment alternatives in a thoughtful manner. The study concluded with a set of recommendations, most notably the need to develop the digital infrastructure of accounting and financial systems, adopt a unified system for data exchange, enhance the culture of teamwork between accounting and financial management units, in addition to activating the use of predictive financial analysis techniques to raise the level of accuracy in investment decisions.

This study aims to examine the influence of transformational leadership, work motivation, and organizational culture on organizational commitment at PT Kembang Jawa Permai. The research employs a quantitative approach with an associative causal design, using a survey method and data collected through a questionnaire distributed to all 46 employees as respondents. The sampling technique used is saturated sampling, considering the small population size. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression analysis with validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and linearity) conducted beforehand to ensure model accuracy. The results indicate that transformational leadership, work motivation, and organizational culture each have a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment, both partially and simultaneously. Among the three variables, organizational culture shows the most dominant influence, indicating that strong organizational values and teamwork orientation play a key role in strengthening employee commitment. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.848 implies that 84.8% of the variation in organizational commitment can be explained by the three independent variables. This study contributes to human resource management theory and provides practical insights for organizations to enhance employee commitment through effective leadership, motivation, and cultural reinforcement.

Gender mainstreaming (PUG) is a development strategy that integrates gender equality as a key principle in planning and budgeting. The city of Semarang has adopted this approach in various policy documents; however, its implementation still faces significant challenges. This study aims to evaluate the achievement of the seven prerequisites for PUG according to the guidelines from the Ministry of PPPA, including commitment, policies, institutional frameworks, resources, sex-disaggregated data, gender analysis tools (GAP and GBS), and community participation. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, employing in-depth interviews, document studies, and questionnaires. Key informants include local government organizations (OPDs) and civil society representatives. Data analysis is carried out using Miles & Huberman's interactive model with thematic analysis. The findings show that normative prerequisites such as policies and institutional frameworks are in place, but implementation remains weak, particularly in the use of sex-disaggregated data and the application of GAP-GBS. Supporting factors for success include leadership commitment from specific OPDs and the existence of cross-sector coordination forums, while the main obstacles are limited human resource capacity and insufficient gender-responsive budget allocation. This study reinforces the relevance of policy implementation theory in bridging the gap between normative frameworks and operational practices. Recommendations include ongoing training, mainstreaming sex-disaggregated data, and technical regulations that all OPDs must follow to enhance the effectiveness of PUG.

The Family Welfare Empowerment (PKK) is a community organization that plays a strategic role in improving the quality of family life through various programs covering education, health, economy, and social aspects. However, in practice, the recording and management of member data as well as PKK activities are still carried out manually. This condition creates several challenges, including difficulties in archiving, limited access to information retrieval, and delays in preparing reports required by administrators and stakeholders. This study aims to design and develop a web-based information system for PKK member activity services that can manage member data, record activities, track attendance, and generate reports quickly, accurately, and efficiently. The system development method employed an object-oriented approach, consisting of requirement analysis, system design, implementation, and testing stages. The implementation results show that the developed information system can improve organizational service efficiency, assist administrators in monitoring member activeness, and reduce potential errors in data recording. Furthermore, the system provides better support for data-driven decision-making, thereby enabling PKK to become more modern, transparent, and adaptive to technological developments. Thus, this system has the potential to serve as an innovative solution to sustainably enhance the performance of PKK organizations.  

Financial and accounting governance practices are a regulatory framework that aims to control financial and accounting behavior within organizations by promoting the principles of transparency, disclosure, accountability, and internal control. The importance of these practices has become more important with the increase in financial crises and corruption scandals in the last two decades, highlighting the need for stricter governance systems to protect the interests of investors and stakeholders. In the context of entrepreneurial projects, which are characterized by high levels of risk and uncertainty, the quality of financial reporting is a key factor in building trust and attracting Financing and facilitating investment decisions. This study aims to analyze the relationship between financial and accounting governance practices and the quality of financial reporting, and to measure the impact of this relationship on the chances of success of entrepreneurial projects. The importance of the study stems from the fact that it seeks to bridge a knowledge gap represented by the lack of research that has linked these variables in the startup environment in developing economies. Based on a review of the literature, the study assumes that financial and accounting governance practices positively affect the quality of financial reporting, which in turn is reflected in enhancing the sustainability of entrepreneurial projects and raising their capacity competitiveness.

Government representatives are members of legislative institutions elected by the people to represent their interests and aspirations in the policy-making and decision-making processes of government. People's representatives have a moral and ethical responsibility in carrying out their duties as representatives of the public's interests. The early history of the formation of people's representatives dates back to the Preparatory Committee for Indonesian Independence (PPKI), which also appointed the first president and vice president in Indonesia. People's representatives are a key pillar in the democratic system, serving as a channel for the people's aspirations. In carrying out their duties, they are required to uphold ethical values, integrity, and morality. However, various cases of ethical violations involving members of the House of Representatives (DPR) have triggered an increasingly critical public response, especially in the digital era that enables information transparency. This study aims to analyze how ethical violations by people's representatives affect public perception and how social media strengthens the public's critical power. This research method is qualitative-descriptive with a case study approach. The results show that public response to ethical violations has increased sharply through digital platforms, which has a direct impact on public trust and the legitimacy of legislative institutions. Social media has become a primary medium for expressing disappointment and moral pressure on people's representatives. In addition, social media has also changed the way organizations and individuals interact. The speed of information dissemination magnifies the social impact of every action by members of the House of Representatives. Ethics reform and a stricter oversight system are needed to maintain the integrity of representatives. This research concludes that the ethics of representatives are crucial for maintaining public trust. It is crucial for representatives to uphold a code of ethics to ensure integrity, which will lead to a positive public response and trust in the government.
