This research aims to analyze the strategic role of management psychology in enhancing the performance and effectiveness of educational organizations through a systematic literature review. The development of modern educational organizations demands human resource management that is not only oriented toward administrative aspects but also considers the psychological dynamics of individuals, including behavior, motivation, and interpersonal relationships. The research method used is qualitative with a literature review approach, analyzing relevant scientific articles from the Google Scholar database. The results of the study indicate that management psychology contributes significantly to organizational productivity through three main aspects: effective organizational communication to build trust, psychology-based leadership that increases work motivation and satisfaction through recognition and fairness, and constructive conflict management that transforms tension into opportunities for innovation. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the integration of various psychological dimensions, such as organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and self-efficacy, is a key element in creating a conducive work environment. Therefore, leaders of educational institutions are advised to adopt a humanistic leadership style to optimize the potential of human resources and achieve superior educational quality in a sustainable and effective manner within the modern era.

This study aims to analyze the internationalization strategy of SMEs through the integration of SWOT and PESTEL analysis, using a case study of PT Mujnah Kemiri Lombok. SMEs play an important role in the national economy; however, in the process of expanding into international markets, they face various challenges from both internal and external factors that need to be comprehensively identified. Therefore, a strategic analysis is required to understand the factors influencing the success of internationalization. This study employs a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation related to the export activities of PT Mujnah Kemiri Lombok. Data analysis was conducted by identifying internal factors using SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) and external factors using PESTEL analysis (Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Environmental, and Legal). The results show that the internationalization process of PT Mujnah Kemiri Lombok occurs gradually, starting from the domestic market and expanding into export markets through technological transformation and network expansion. The company’s main strengths lie in its supply chain network, business experience, and adoption of production technology, while its main weakness is the adaptation of human resources to technological changes. From an external perspective, government support acts as a key driving factor, while global price competition and logistics costs remain major challenges. This study is expected to provide both theoretical and practical contributions, particularly for SMEs in formulating appropriate internationalization strategies and enhancing competitiveness in the global market.

This study aims to examine the normative construction and practical implementation of criminal sanctions against narcotics abusers from the perspectives of Islamic criminal law and Indonesian positive law, as well as to formulate an integrative policy model that is more just, humane, and context-sensitive in Bungo Regency. Narcotics abuse constitutes a multidimensional problem involving legal, social, moral, and public health dimensions. Therefore, a comprehensive approach is required to integrate the normative values of Islamic criminal law with the national legal system. This research employs a normative-empirical approach using comparative legal analysis, examining statutory regulations, doctrines of Islamic criminal law, and law enforcement practices at the local level. The findings indicate that Islamic criminal law frames narcotics abuse within the protection of maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah, particularly the preservation of intellect (ḥifẓ al-‘aql) and life (ḥifẓ al-nafs), thereby emphasizing not only punitive but also educational and rehabilitative orientations through the instrument of ta‘zīr. Meanwhile, Indonesian positive law, particularly Law No. 35 of 2009 on Narcotics, provides legal space for rehabilitation; however, its implementation still encounters structural and cultural challenges. This study concludes that integrating Islamic criminal law principles with the national legal framework may produce a more responsive sentencing model that upholds substantive justice, human rights protection, and effective narcotics control. Policy reformulation grounded in religious values, restorative approaches, and social rehabilitation is recommended as a strategic direction for national criminal law reform.

This study aims to evaluate the implementation of Palangka Raya City Regional Regulation Number 9 of 2024 concerning Tourism Villages at the Sei Batu tourist attraction in Sei Gohong Village, with a primary focus on facility maintenance and the development of the local community’s creative economy. In addition, this study seeks to understand the extent to which the policy is able to encourage community participation in managing tourism potential in a sustainable manner. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, in-depth interviews, and documentation, with informants purposively selected from management, local government, and community elements. The results indicate that the implementation of the policy has not been optimal, as reflected in weak communication among stakeholders, limited human and financial resources, low commitment among implementers, and ineffective institutional coordination. Furthermore, the lack of regular monitoring and evaluation has also slowed the achievement of policy objectives. This condition has led to neglected tourism facilities and the underdevelopment of local creative economy products as part of community empowerment efforts. These findings indicate a gap between the formulated policy and the reality of its implementation in the field. Therefore, comprehensive improvements are needed in aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure, accompanied by enhanced collaboration among relevant stakeholders, so that the objectives of community-based tourism development can be achieved sustainably and provide tangible benefits to the local community

The development of digital technology has encouraged Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) to utilize social media as the main instrument in building brand awareness. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with a field research type (field research). Data collection was carried out through observation, in-depth interviews with six sources (owner, financial manager, social media team, admin, crew, and customers), and documentation of the content of the TikTok account @mtm43surabaya. The results of the study show that: (1) MTMSBY43 implements a digital branding strategy with three main components, namely brand positioning as a social-based one-stop solution, a brand identity that focuses on a human-centered service approach, and a brand personality that reflects the character of local youth who are solution-oriented and socially concerned; (2) MTMSBY43 TikTok content is classified into three pillars, namely humanistic and realistic content (daily vlogs & live documentation), educational and transparent content (service portfolio), and humorous content (entertainment & engagement content) that builds high organic appeal; (3) TikTok acts as a primary growth driver for MTMSBY43's brand awareness through three mechanisms: creating brand recognition through the FYP algorithm, which reaches new audiences; driving brand recall through consistent uploads and a distinctive communication style; and building customer trust and brand loyalty through responsive two-way interactions

This study examines the role of the Lubuk Intan Village Unit Cooperative (KUD) in assisting in managing oil palm sales for smallholder farmers in Peninjau Village, Batanghari Regency. The background of this study is based on the suboptimal distribution of economic benefits to farmers, despite increasing sales through the cooperative. This situation indicates the need to strengthen the role of cooperatives in the harvest marketing system. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Thirteen informants were interviewed: three administrators and ten members of the Lubuk Intan KUD in Peninjau Village, Batanghari Regency. The results indicate that the Lubuk Intan KUD plays a role in facilitating collective sales, providing price information, and creating certainty and transparency in the weighing and recording of harvests. This role has been able to improve marketing efficiency and member trust. However, its implementation still faces obstacles such as limited human resources, limited operational capital, and inadequate member participation.

The Free Nutritious Meal Program (MBG) is a strategic initiative by the Indonesian government to address the long-standing issues of malnutrition and stunting, which have significantly hindered human resource (HR) development in Indonesia. The program aims to improve children's nutrition and reduce stunting by providing free nutritious meals, particularly in areas with limited access to healthy food. This study aims to analyze the legal framework of MBG, its effectiveness in achieving its goals, and its impact on national development. Using a qualitative approach, the study analyzes the implementation of MBG through document analysis, interviews with relevant stakeholders, and field observations. The findings highlight challenges within the program, including imbalanced food distribution, inadequate infrastructure in remote areas, and suboptimal food quality control, which resulted in several food poisoning incidents in 2025. Nevertheless, the program has a positive economic impact by empowering micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) involved in food supply. The study suggests strengthening the monitoring system, improving budget management, and better coordination between government sectors and communities to maximize the success of MBG. It also emphasizes the importance of nutrition education campaigns to support the program's goals. Overall, MBG is a crucial step toward creating a healthier and more productive generation, supporting the achievement of Indonesia's Golden Generation by 2045..

This study aims to determine the village financial management of Tinting Village, Sarolangun Subdistrict, in improving community welfare and to identify its supporting and inhibiting factors. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. The informants in this study were the village secretary, village treasurer, and the Village Activity Implementation Team (TPKAD). Data analysis was conducted through data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the financial management of Tinting Village has been implemented through planning, implementation, administration, reporting, and accountability stages. However, it has not been fully optimal in improving community welfare, as it is still dominated by infrastructure development rather than community economic empowerment programs. The supporting factors include clear regulations, cooperation among village officials, and community participation. Meanwhile, the inhibiting factors consist of limited human resources of village officials, low community understanding, and limited budget for empowerment programs

The rapid development of information and communication technology in the digital era has brought massive disruptions to all aspects of human life, including the educational paradigm and societal morality. Generation Z, as digital natives who grow up alongside these technological advancements, faces significant vulnerabilities regarding character degradation and moral decadence due to boundless exposure to global information. This research aims to critically analyze the strategic role of Islamic Religious Education in shaping and fortifying the character of Generation Z amidst the complexities of the digital landscape. The method used in this study is a qualitative literature review, which systematically synthesizes and analyzes twenty relevant academic sources. The findings indicate that Islamic Religious Education serves as an irreplaceable moral compass by internalizing the fundamental values of Tawhid and prophetic ethics. Furthermore, the integration of modern digital pedagogy with classical Islamic traditions, accompanied by the teacher's role as a moral exemplar (mu'addib), is crucial for effective character building. In conclusion, a collaborative educational ecosystem involving the family, school, and society is mandatory to ensure the continuous moral resilience of the younger generation in facing future technological disruptions.

This study addresses the problem of how the values of akhlaqul karimah (noble character) contained in Bakr bin ‘Abdullah Abu Zaid’s Ḥilyatu Ṭālib al-‘Ilmi can be internalized within the framework of Islamic philosophy of education. The significance of this topic lies in the urgent need to strengthen character education in Islamic institutions in the digital era, where the erosion of moral values is increasingly evident. The objective of the research is to examine the integration of Ḥilyatu Ṭālib al-‘Ilmi’s values with the fundamental concepts of Islamic philosophy of education, offering both theoretical enrichment and practical guidance for contemporary Islamic education. This study employs a qualitative library research approach, analyzing primary sources (the book itself and classical references) and secondary literature through philosophical-hermeneutical analysis. The findings reveal that the book emphasizes key virtues such as sincerity, humility, perseverance, discipline, respect for teachers, and intellectual selectivity. These align with the ontological view of humans as rational and moral beings, the epistemological principle that knowledge is acquired through both revelation and disciplined inquiry, and the axiological aim of forming socially responsible and ethically upright individuals. The study concludes that internalizing Abu Zaid’s adab framework provides a timeless model for Islamic character education. Theoretically, it enriches the discourse on Islamic educational philosophy by bridging classical wisdom with contemporary challenges; practically, it offers actionable guidance for educators, students, and institutions in nurturing morally grounded and intellectually robust learners.  

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Sustainable Food Crop Land (LP2B) management policy in Madiun Regency based on Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2020 and identify factors inhibiting its implementation, as well as formulate alternative solutions to strengthen the policy in supporting agricultural land sustainability and regional food security. This study uses an empirical legal method (empirical juridical) with a qualitative descriptive approach. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with the Department of Agriculture, and farmers, as well as field observations, while secondary data were obtained through a study of laws and regulations and policy documents. The analysis was conducted by examining aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure in policy implementation, using triangulation techniques to ensure data validity. The results show that LP2B implementation is not optimal. The main obstacles include farmers' low understanding of legal provisions, limited human resources and budget, weak cross-sectoral coordination, and economic pressures and high land sales prices. In addition, the national target of fulfilling 87% of Raw Paddy Land adds to the complexity of implementation at the regional level. Strengthening implementation requires improving legal communication, strengthening institutional capacity, synchronizing policies with spatial planning, and a participatory approach that actively involves farmers.

ABSTRACT There must be a fair and balanced application of the legal rights and responsibilities that arise from the employment relationship between employers and employees. Employers' continued activities of withholding diplomas from workers, even after the employment relationship has ended, may have negative consequences for workers and limit their ability to find new career possibilities. The purpose of this research is to examine the employment agreement's provisions on the parties' respective roles and responsibilities in the workplace, and to determine whether or not employees have any recourse if their employers choose to retain their diplomas even after the job relationship has ended. Normative legal research using conceptual, factual, and regulatory approaches is the study technique used. Holding workers' diplomas is illegal, violates their human rights, and goes against labor laws and regulations, according to the report. Legislation protects employees both preemptively, via government oversight and normative regulation, and punitively, via processes for resolving disputes in industrial relations and the imposition of administrative, civil, and criminal penalties. Companies cannot legitimately withhold diplomas; thus, this practice must end in order to provide legal clarity and respect for workers' dignity. Keywords : Legal Protection, Workers, Diploma.

This community service activity aims to explore strategies for strengthening human competencies in facing technological disruption through a national seminar entitled “Human Resource Transformation in the Digital Era: An Interdisciplinary Approach for Sustainable Community Empowerment.” The seminar featured expert speakers from various universities to provide multidimensional perspectives for participants.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of mudarabah and murabahah contracts at the Baitut Tamwil Muhammadiyah (BTM) Al-Kautsar Islamic Cooperative in Makassar and to assess their compliance with Islamic principles and the Islamic Financial Accounting Standards (PSAK Syariah). The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach using in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings reveal that BTM Al-Kautsar has implemented mudarabah and murabahah contracts in accordance with Islamic principles, as evidenced by valid contract agreements, agreed profit-sharing ratios, and manual transaction recording. The mudarabah contract is applied for profit-sharing financing, while murabahah is more dominant due to its lower risk and stable returns. However, the application of PSAK Syariah remains suboptimal due to limited human resources, the absence of a Sharia supervisory board, and minimal digital accounting systems. These findings suggest the need to enhance Sharia literacy, strengthen internal supervision, and modernize accounting systems to support accountable and sustainable Islamic cooperative governance

The governance of natural resources (NR) in Indonesia remains marked by structural inequalities that favor large corporations, while indigenous and local communities are marginalized from access, management rights, and equitable benefit-sharing. Although the Constitution and several laws mandate social justice and ecological sustainability, NR governance practices tend to focus on exploitation and investment acceleration, sacrificing environmental protection and meaningful public participation. This study employs a normative juridical approach to analyze weaknesses in sectoral regulations, overlapping authorities, and their implications for the rights of local communities. Drawing on Satjipto Rahardjo’s progressive justice theory, it offers a reformulation of the concept of “controlled by the state” in Article 33 of the 1945 Constitution as a trustee mandate, rather than a monopoly, placing humans, the environment, and justice as the primary orientation. The proposed legal transformation strategies include revising NR regulations, implementing the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) principle, strengthening community-based management models, recognizing the rights of nature, and establishing participatory oversight mechanisms. This approach is expected to dismantle unequal power relations and direct NR governance toward ecological sustainability, community empowerment, and intergenerational benefit equity.

The adoption of holocratic leadership systems has become a crucial strategy for startups navigating market volatility, which demands organizational agility through the elimination of traditional hierarchies. This study aims to analyze the transformation of the Human Resource (HR) department's role within holocratic systems and its impact on HR efficiency in startup environments. Employing an integrative literature review approach, this research synthesizes various findings from reputable global and national journals published within the last five years to map the shifts in managerial functions. The results indicate that in structures devoid of conventional managers, the HR role transforms from a controlling authority into a system architect and governance facilitator that maintains compliance with the organizational constitution. HR efficiency is achieved through clear authority distribution within dynamic roles, transparent peer-to-peer feedback mechanisms, and the removal of slow bureaucratic coordination costs. The contribution of this research lies in the formulation of the "HR-as-a-Platform" conceptual model, which shifts the focus of management practices from personal supervision to systemic infrastructure optimization. The practical implications provide a guide for startup founders to re-engineer HR functions to support individual autonomy without sacrificing operational stability. This study confirms that the success of non-hierarchical organizations relies heavily on the integration of radical autonomy and robust digital protocols facilitated by the newly defined HR function.

The rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) has brought significant changes to higher education, particularly in the way students think and learn. AI no longer functions merely as a learning support tool but also influences students’ cognitive processes, including critical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and creativity. This study aims to examine the impact of AI usage on the thinking patterns of university students. The research method employed is a literature review, analyzing various accredited national journals and relevant conference proceedings. The findings indicate that AI offers several positive impacts, such as improving learning efficiency, expanding access to information, and supporting the development of creative ideas. However, excessive reliance on AI may also lead to negative effects, including a decline in critical thinking skills and an increased tendency for students to depend on AI-generated outputs without in-depth analysis. Therefore, the role of educators is crucial in guiding students to use AI wisely and responsibly. AI should be utilized as a supportive tool in the learning process rather than a replacement for human thinking. This study is expected to contribute to the development of effective and ethical strategies for integrating AI in higher education.

Abstract: This study aims to deeply analyze the gap in basic education in Weleri District, Kendal Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia, specifically Weleri Village, correcting the initial focus that was directed at the UIN campus environment. Using a qualitative approach with a case study design, data were collected through unstructured interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model with source triangulation techniques to ensure data validity involving eight key informants. The most important findings reveal that the educational gap in Kendal is a manifestation of significant multidimensional structural injustice, encompassing spatial disparities, educational attainment, and the distribution of human resources. Spatially, there is a concentration of quality schools in the center of Weleri District, while coastal areas experience limited access due to the "urban bias" of regional budgets. This phenomenon creates educational segregation from an early age. Only 35-40% of coastal youth successfully continue to high school due to economic barriers, distance, and a lack of scholarship information. The unequal distribution of certified teachers worsens the quality of learning and has the potential to trigger socio-religious fragmentation due to limited moderate Islamic insight in marginalized areas and reproduces intergenerational poverty. This confirms that the low quality of education is not an individual choice, but rather a systemic consequence of inequitable planning. Therefore, an urgent, holistic affirmative policy intervention is needed, encompassing equitable infrastructure and teacher distribution reform to ensure equal educational rights for every child in Kendal, in order to realize sustainable social justice that is responsive to the geographic context. This research provides a critical contribution in the form of a concrete empirical foundation for the formulation of affirmative policies that profoundly break the cycle of poverty and educational injustice in the coastal areas of Central Java, while also enriching the scientific literature on the sociology of education on the reproduction of injustice in marginalized areas in a comprehensive and sustainable manner. Abstrak: Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis secara mendalam kesenjangan pendidikan dasar di Kecamatan Weleri, Kabupaten Kendal, Provinsi Jawa Tengah Indonesia khususnya Desa Weleri, mengoreksi fokus awal yang sempat mengarah pada lingkungan kampus UIN. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan desain studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara tidak terstruktur, observasi partisipatif, dan analisis dokumen, kemudian dianalisis menggunakan model interaktif Miles dan Huberman dengan teknik triangulasi sumber untuk memastikan validitas data melibatkan delapan informan kunci. Temuan terpenting mengungkap bahwa kesenjangan pendidikan di Kendal merupakan manifestasi ketidakadilan struktural multidimensi signifikan, mencakup disparitas spasial, capaian pendidikan, dan distribusi sumber daya manusia. Secara spasial, terdapat konsentrasi sekolah berkualitas di pusat Kecamatan Weleri, sementara wilayah pesisir mengalami keterbatasan akses akibat "urban bias" anggaran daerah, fenomena ini menciptakan segregasi pendidikan sejak dini. Hanya 35-40% remaja pesisir berhasil melanjutkan ke SMA karena hambatan ekonomi, jarak, dan minimnya informasi beasiswa. Distribusi guru bersertifikat yang timpang memperburuk kualitas pembelajaran dan berpotensi memicu fragmentasi sosial-keagamaan akibat terbatasnya wawasan keislaman moderat di wilayah marginal serta mereproduksi kemiskinan antargenerasi. Hal ini menegaskan bahwa rendahnya kualitas pendidikan bukan pilihan individu, melainkan konsekuensi sistemik dari perencanaan yang belum berkeadilan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan intervensi kebijakan afirmatif holistik mendesak mencakup pemerataan infrastruktur dan reformasi distribusi guru untuk memastikan hak pendidikan setara bagi setiap anak Kendal demi mewujudkan keadilan sosial berkelanjutan yang responsif terhadap konteks geografis. Penelitian ini memberikan kontribusi kritis berupa landasan empiris konkret bagi formulasi kebijakan afirmatif yang memutus siklus kemiskinan dan ketidakadilan pendidikan di wilayah pesisir Jawa Tengah secara mendalam, sekaligus turut memperkaya literatur ilmiah sosiologi pendidikan tentang reproduksi ketidakadilan di wilayah marginal secara komprehensif dan berkelanjutan.

This study aims to analyze the effect of work stress and work environment on employee performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at PT X. This study uses a quantitative approach with a census method of 198 employees at PT X. Data were collected through an online questionnaire (Google Form) and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with the help of SmartPLS 4.0. Based on the results of the analysis that has been done, it was found that work stress has a negative and significant effect on employee performance. Meanwhile, the work environment has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. In addition, work stress has a negative and significant effect on job satisfaction. Then, the work environment has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction, while job satisfaction has a significant effect on employee performance. In addition, job satisfaction is able to mediate the effect of work stress and work environment on employee performance. This study provides a theoretical contribution to strengthen the understanding of the role of job satisfaction as an important mechanism that connects work stress and work environment with employee performance. Management needs to manage work stress through a balanced workload and system arrangement and create a safe and comfortable work environment to improve employee satisfaction and performance. These findings underscore the importance of job satisfaction as a basis for formulating human resource policies. This study is limited by the number of respondents, which is not fully representative of the entire population due to difficulties in communicating with employees. Furthermore, limited access to the research location, which is located outside of Yogyakarta, resulted in the distribution and collection of questionnaires being conducted only through long-distance communication. Future researchers are advised to add other variables and use research subjects from different industrial sectors to obtain a more comprehensive and comparable understanding.
