The digitalization of healthcare had prompted health institutions to adopt digital content marketing as an innovative strategy for service promotion and patient loyalty development, while preserving service reliability as a crucial loyalty factor. Recent empirical research had revealed inconsistent findings about the non-linear relationships among these variables, which necessitated additional investigation incorporating trust as a mediating factor. This research sought to provide empirical validation of how trust mediated the relationship between service reliability, digital content marketing, and patient loyalty within hospital settings. The study employed a cross-sectional methodology using purposive sampling with 119 outpatients from Hermina Kemayoran Hospital in Jakarta. The analytical approach utilized the three box method for descriptive analysis and Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via Smart-PLS 4 for inferential analysis. Results demonstrated that both digital content marketing and service reliability influenced patient loyalty indirectly through trust mediation, though digital content marketing's indirect influence was considerably weaker than its direct impact. The research determined that trust served as a partial mediator in how digital content marketing and service reliability affected patient loyalty development in hospital environments.

Patient safety is a fundamental component of healthcare quality and a key indicator of hospital performance. Ensuring its implementation requires not only technical competence but also psychological and organizational support. This study aims to analyze the effect of motivation and coaching on the implementation of patient safety among nurses, with responsive culture as a mediating variable at Hospital X, Bekasi. A quantitative approach was employed using a cross-sectional design. Data were collected from 162 nurses in inpatient units using a structured questionnaire and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) using SmartPLS software. The results showed that both motivation and coaching have significant direct effects on the implementation of patient safety. In addition, both variables significantly influence the development of responsive culture, which in turn also has a significant effect on patient safety. Responsive culture serves as a strong mediating factor, reinforcing the relationship between individual-level factors (motivation and coaching) and organizational safety outcomes. These findings indicate that motivated nurses who receive structured coaching within a responsive organizational environment are more likely to engage in safe practices. This study contributes to the growing evidence that human and cultural factors are critical in improving patient safety outcomes. It also provides practical recommendations for hospital leaders to focus on motivation strategies, coaching mechanisms, and cultural transformation to build safer healthcare systems. Future research is suggested to involve multiple institutions and integrate qualitative methods for deeper contextual understanding.

The application of safety is an important matter in carrying out activities inland transportation including railroad transportation. Jabodetabek travel routes are handled directly by PT. Kereta Komuter Indonesia. This activity certainly requires a lot of human labor so safety is very important in this regard. With the existence of safety arrangements, it will avoid any related things from accidents or losses due to the delay in the completion of work caused by the inaccurate company safety management system. Therefore each element involved in each activity requires further knowledge and understanding of the core factors that are in accordance with the safety management system used. Referring to this approach, research is carried out on the railroad industry in Indonesia by developing a safety model in the railway industry. The research was conducted by finding the right literature and then developing a model for the factors considered appropriate to be applied to the safety management system in railroad transportation in Indonesia. After the model was developed, the model was confirmed by the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) approach with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results of the study will prove that the factors developed in the safety model are positively related to the implementation of commuter train safety management in Indonesia.

In the contemporary era, advancements in innovation and technological readiness have become fundamental elements in national security and defense strategies. This is because modern warfare has evolved from conventional physical conflicts to battles that encompass the domains of information, cybersecurity, and technological supremacy. In an effort to build a strong, sophisticated, and autonomous defense system, a nation needs to prioritize reducing dependency on other countries through achieving independence in the provision of Main Weapon System Tools (Alutsista). The Naval Technology College (STTAL) plays a vital role in advancing research activities and producing high-quality human resources as a long-term defense investment capital that can be optimized by the Indonesian Navy (TNI AL). This study examines the impact of innovation and integrated technological readiness in STTAL's research outcomes on the achievement of TNI AL's defense equipment independence. The research methodology employs a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis techniques using the SmartPLS 4 application. The study involves four key variables: Innovation (X1, Z), Technological Readiness (X2), STTAL Research Outcomes (Y1), and TNI AL Defense Equipment Independence (Y2). The research findings reveal that: (1) the innovation variable has a significant impact on STTAL's research outcomes with an effect magnitude of 0.065, (2) the technology readiness variable shows a very significant influence on STTAL's research outcomes with an effect magnitude of 0.874, (3) there is a significant mediating effect of technology readiness through innovation as a mediator on STTAL's research outcomes with an effect magnitude of 0.026, and (4) STTAL's research outcomes have a very significant impact on the independence of the TNI AL's defense equipment with an effect magnitude of 1.318.
