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.

A company's productivity is greatly influenced by the quality of employee performance, which makes employees an important asset in achieving organizational goals. This study aims to analyze the influence of job skills, work experience, and work commitment on employee performance on CV Medali Mas. The research method used is a quantitative approach with multiple linear regression analysis techniques. Data were collected through questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability, and classical assumption tests were carried out including normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and linearity tests. The results of the analysis showed that simultaneously, the three independent variables, namely work skills, work experience, and work commitment, had a significant effect on employee performance (F count = 6.788; Sig. < 0.001). However, only work experience showed a significant effect on employee performance (t count = 2.765; Sig. = 0.009), while work skills (Sig. = 0.072) and work commitment (Sig. = 0.531) had no significant effect. These findings confirm that work experience is a dominant factor in improving employee performance at CV Medali Mas. The implications of this study suggest that companies pay more attention to the track record of work experience in the recruitment and human resource development process to increase productivity optimally.

This study investigates the impact of population growth and the Human Development Index (HDI) on economic growth and unemployment in East Kalimantan Province using path analysis with secondary data from 2014–2023. Population growth and human development are two critical demographic and socio-economic factors that often generate complex effects on regional economic performance. The results indicate that population growth has a negative and significant effect on economic growth, highlighting the pressure that rapid demographic expansion places on natural resources, infrastructure, and employment absorption capacity. Conversely, HDI demonstrates a positive and significant relationship with economic growth, suggesting that improvements in education, health, and income contribute to higher productivity and competitiveness. On the other hand, the direct effect of population growth and HDI on unemployment is negative but statistically insignificant, which implies that the availability of jobs and structural conditions of the labor market are more influential than demographic changes alone. Interestingly, economic growth shows a negative and significant effect on unemployment, supporting the classical theory that sustained economic expansion generates employment opportunities and reduces joblessness. Mediation tests reveal that economic growth does not significantly mediate the relationship between population growth or HDI and unemployment, underscoring that unemployment dynamics in East Kalimantan are influenced by broader structural factors such as sectoral concentration, policy effectiveness, and industrial diversification. These findings highlight the importance of integrating demographic management, human capital development, and sectoral economic strategies in policy formulation. Strengthening human development while controlling excessive population growth can provide a solid foundation for inclusive and sustainable economic progress in East Kalimantan.

This study aims to analyze the influence of leadership style and work motivation on the performance of civil servants (PNS) at the Office of the Domestic Policy Strategy Agency (BSKDN) in Central Jakarta. The study employs a descriptive quantitative approach using a survey method, where data were collected through questionnaires distributed to a number of PNS within BSKDN. The collected data were then analyzed using multiple linear regression with the aid of statistical software to examine the relationships and effects between variables. The results indicate that leadership style has a substantial and positive effect on PNS performance, suggesting that effective, inspiring, and communicative leadership can enhance employee productivity and work quality. Moreover, work motivation also demonstrates a positive and significant impact on PNS performance, indicating that highly motivated employees exhibit greater dedication, discipline, and initiative in carrying out their duties. Further analysis shows that when leadership style and work motivation are applied simultaneously, both provide a substantial influence on improving PNS performance, emphasizing the importance of synergy between good leadership and employees’ internal motivation. The practical implications of this study underscore the urgency for BSKDN to develop leadership training programs that can inspire, motivate, and empower employees comprehensively. Additionally, designing sustainable strategies to enhance work motivation is also crucial to optimize the performance of all PNS within BSKDN, ensuring organizational goals are achieved effectively and efficiently. This study contributes to the development of human resource management practices in the government sector, particularly in the context of enhancing employee performance through the combination of effective leadership and optimal work motivation.

Employee training and development is an activity that aims to improve employee competence, knowledge and attitudes in achieving achievement. This training is provided to both new employees and existing employees who still need training and retraining. In practice, training is a short-term development process that uses a structured and organized operating system, with the main aim of improving employee performance and opening up career opportunities. Employees need to have sufficient skills and knowledge, and one way to meet these needs is through training programs designed to improve the quality of human resources. In this way, employees can achieve their desires and ultimately get the expected results.  

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.

This study aims to analyze the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementation in human resource management (HRM) on both individual performance and organizational productivity. Using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, the research examined 15 selected scholarly articles published between 2010 and 2025 that are relevant to the application of AI in HRM. The literature selection process followed several stages, including identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and inclusion, by utilizing academic databases such as Google Scholar, Scopus, and ResearchGate. The synthesis results reveal that AI adoption in HR functions—such as recruitment, training, performance evaluation, and employee retention—enhances efficiency, accuracy, and decision-making speed. The positive impacts of AI are evident in improving recruitment quality, optimizing talent development, predicting employee performance, and strengthening overall organizational productivity, particularly in the service sector.  This study concludes that AI holds significant potential to transform HRM into a more strategic, adaptive, and data-driven system. To maximize its benefits, organizations must establish ethical governance frameworks, foster digital competency development, and ensure strong regulatory support. Future research is recommended to expand empirical investigations across various industries to strengthen the generalizability of the findings

Employee performance appraisal is a crucial aspect of human resource management and development, as the evaluation results serve as the basis for managerial decision-making, including promotions, incentives, and career development. However, unstructured assessment sistems often hinder the objectivity, transparency, and accuracy of performance evaluations. This study aims to design and develop a web-based Decision Support Sistem (DSS) to assess the performance of Biller employees at the ULP PLN Kuala office by applying the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. TOPSIS was selected because it effectively addresses multi-criteria decision-making problems by comparing each alternative to both positive and negative ideal solutions. The evaluation criteria include invoice achievement, account return balance, and PAL balance. The sistem was developed using PHP as the programming language and MySQL as the database, ensuring integration and accessibility. The test results indicate that the sistem is capable of providing employee rankings in an objective and measurable manner. Based on the calculation, Tri Widodo achieved the highest score (0.8027), demonstrating the best performance among the evaluated employees. The implementation of this TOPSIS-based DSS makes the performance appraisal process more sistematic, efficient, transparent, and accurate, thereby contributing to the improvement of human resource management quality within the organization.  

Indonesia, a country located in the Pacific Ring of Fire, has a high level of vulnerability to earthquakes. This condition demands an increase in the capacity of civil engineering human resources to design safe and disaster-resistant buildings. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of project-based learning training with a focus on the application of SNI 1726:2019, structural modeling using ETABS/RSA, lateral load calculations, and the design of simple earthquake-resistant houses. The research method involved final-year civil engineering students and alumni who participated in a series of trainings, with evaluations through pre-tests, post-tests, and design assessments. The results showed an increase in competency in all aspects, especially the understanding of the SNI 1726:2019 standard and lateral load calculations. In addition, participants were able to produce simple house designs that meet the basic criteria for earthquake resistance, material efficiency, and structural stability. These findings indicate that applied training can bridge the gap between academic theory and practical skills needed in the workplace. This research contributes to strengthening the capacity of civil engineering in supporting resilient infrastructure development and has important implications for the integration of similar training into higher education curricula and community service programs.

One of the most common problems that occurs for MSMEs is in their development. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to business performance in order to be able to survive and excel in competition. This study aims to test the influence of human resource competence, financial literacy, financial capital, and social capital on the performance of MSMEs in Tempel District, both partially and simultaneously. The research approach uses a quantitative method with questionnaire instruments distributed to 99 respondents of MSME actors through non-probability sampling techniques. Data analysis was carried out using the SEM-PLS method with the help of SmartPLS 4.1.0.9 software, through outer model testing (validity and reliability test) and inner model (VIF, GoF, R2 test and hypothesis test). Hypothesis testing is carried out through the t-test and the f-test. The results of the study show that partially human resource competence, financial literacy, and financial capital have a significant positive effect on the performance of MSMEs, while social capital has a positive but insignificant effect on the performance of MSMEs. The results of the research simultaneously show that human resource competencies, financial literacy, financial capital, and social capital have a significant effect on the performance of MSMEs. The implications of these findings emphasize the need for strategies to strengthen human resource competence, increase financial literacy, optimize financial capital, and develop social capital to strengthen the competitiveness and sustainability of MSMEs in the research area.

To respond to the challenges and needs of contemporary society, the public sector must rapidly adapt to digital transformation. The objective of this research is to examine relevant and adaptive human resource development strategies for the digital ecosystem and to evaluate how they impact the quality of public services in the era of technological disruption. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach with a literature review and policy analysis. It analyzes best practices from government institutions, both national and international, in developing human resources oriented towards the digital era. Key findings indicate that optimizing human resources requires not only improving technological capabilities or digital expertise; it also requires reconstructing leadership paradigms, flexible organizational cultures, and implementing meritocratic systems and data-driven performance management. It is evident that technologies such as big data analytics, artificial intelligence (AI), and the Internet of Things (IoT) can help improve public services, but the success of these technologies depends heavily on the capabilities and readiness of the employees who manage these systems. An integrated digital talent ecosystem must be built, encompassing continuous training (learning for life), collaboration between government, academia, and business (the triple helix model), and a regulatory framework responsive to technological developments. Furthermore, it is emphasized that developing digital integrity and ethics is crucial as a pillar of good governance in the digital era. Optimizing human resource development strategies systematically and sustainably will enable Indonesia to improve the efficiency of public services and strengthen the competitiveness of its bureaucracy globally. By 2045, adaptable, innovative, and highly integrated human resources will be the primary drivers of a digital government transformation that is inclusive, responsive, and future-oriented.

Through a participatory approach, this activity successfully improved the community's understanding of destination management, tourist services, facility management, and digital promotion strategies via social media and online platforms. Although the impact was limited due to the relatively short duration of the assistance, the activity received high appreciation from the community and emphasized the importance of collaboration between the community, government, and academics. It is hoped that follow-up programs will strengthen local capacity, enhance tourism attractiveness, and support the sustainable economic welfare of the Buntu Datu Tourism Village community.

Employee turnover in Jakarta’s star-rated hotels remains high in the post-pandemic period, ranging from 11–38% annually, which significantly affects service quality and industry competitiveness. This phenomenon is driven by a combination of job insecurity due to massive layoffs, job stress from excessive workload and long working hours, and a mismatch between young employees’ career expectations and traditional HR practices. Millennials and Gen-Z tend to prioritize self-development, meaningful work, and work–life balance, making them more mobile and open to new opportunities. This study aims to identify the dominant factors influencing turnover, explore the perceptions of HR managers and frontline staff regarding the policy–practice gap, and formulate relevant HR strategies for the post-pandemic context. A qualitative case study approach was employed, involving in-depth semi-structured interviews, non-participant observation, and documentation review, analyzed using Miles, Huberman & Saldaña’s interactive model. Data validity was ensured through triangulation, member checking, and peer debriefing. Findings reveal a significant gap between HR policies and their implementation, weakening retention strategies. The study proposes integrated strategies including consistent employer branding, adaptive and transparent compensation, needs-based digital training, fair work flexibility, and competency-based career mapping. The main contribution lies in formulating a combinatorial HR model that provides a practical retention roadmap while enriching the hospitality HRM literature in Indonesia.

Tedunan Beach in Seluma Regency, Bengkulu, holds exceptional potential as an ecotourism asset, attributed to its authentic and untouched natural landscape, featuring white sand stretches and a unique mangrove ecosystem. Sustainable tourism development, however, demands active participation and entrepreneurship from the local community, which is key to ensuring the equitable distribution of economic benefits and environmental preservation. This research aims to analyze the current community entrepreneurship models, identify challenges hindering business growth, and formulate strategic opportunities for development. Using a qualitative approach with a case study method, data was collected through in-depth interviews with business actors and community leaders, participant observation, and documentation studies.
