Overall, this research contributes to the growing body of literature on public sector governance by highlighting the critical role of transparency and accountability in improving public service outcomes at the regional level.

The 17+8 demands voiced by the public reflect the accumulation of disillusionment with various government policies and violations committed, especially by the House of Representatives (DPR). Policies that are considered unfair and detrimental to the public trigger a strong push to carry out reforms that are more democratic and oriented towards the interests of the people. Various factors such as human rights violations, lack of transparency and accountability, economic inequality, and polemics related to official allowances are the main triggers for the birth of these demands. The demands of 17+8 not only contain burdens or criticisms, but also contain short-term and long-term goals that can be the basis for improving governance. This momentum should be seen as a strategic opportunity to strengthen democracy, improve state-citizen relations, and restore public trust. If these demands are taken seriously, the government has the potential to reduce the legitimacy crisis and improve the quality of public services. On the contrary, ignoring such demands can deepen public distrust and worsen political stability. Thus, the demands of 17+8 are an important signal for the need for structural change and a real commitment to realizing a fairer, more transparent, and responsive government.

This study examines the interrelationship between the implementation of administrative ethics in civil service, the professionalism of State Civil Apparatus (ASN), and the quality of public service delivery at the Provincial Department of Energy and Mineral Resources of Central Kalimantan, employing a qualitative case study approach. Through in-depth interviews, structured observations, and document analysis, the research finds that integrity, transparency, and ethical accountability function not merely as moral norms but as structural foundations that reinforce ASN professionalism in performing service functions, particularly within licensing processes that demand administrative certainty and responsiveness. Empirical findings indicate that professionalism—reflected in technical competence, procedural discipline, and ethical commitment—acts as a catalyst linking ethical values to effective and adaptive public service performance. Nevertheless, the study also identifies structural and cultural impediments, including regulatory inconsistencies, fragmented coordination, and limited training opportunities, all of which hinder the internalization of ethical principles and professional practice within the bureaucracy. Theoretically, the study posits that harmonizing administrative ethics and professionalism is a prerequisite for achieving key indicators of good governance, such as responsiveness, service effectiveness, and institutional accountability. Practically, the study recommends strengthening ethics training, enhancing ASN professional capacity, and advancing managerial reforms grounded in modern governance as strategic efforts to sustainably improve public service quality.

This research has a purpose to determine the effect of online transaction security on purchasing decisions through the Shopee application. The respondents consisted of 74 students from the Digital Business Study Program at Universitas Amikom Purwokerto who actively use Shopee. This research employed a quantitative descriptive method with simple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that online transaction security has a positive and significant effect on purchasing decisions, with a regression coefficient of 0.887 and a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination of 35.2% shows that transaction security contributes to purchasing decisions, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors.

TJSL/CSR in Indonesia is regulated as a legal obligation (mandatory) for companies engaged in the natural resources sector. Its success depends on the principle of accountability, which requires transparency and responsibility. This normative-juridical study evaluates the application of accountability principles in the mining sector. Normatively, PP 47/2012 requires CSR to be listed as an expense and focused on sustainable development (PPM). However, this regulation is not robust because it does not set a minimum fund allocation or clear program boundaries, allowing for multiple interpretations. Empirically (Sekotong case study), accountability is implemented in a formalistic manner, consisting only of one-way administrative reports without meaningful participation from the affected communities. A significant weakness is apparent when dealing with the increase in illegal gold mining (PETI) in legal concession areas. This situation results in a vacuum of responsibility. Companies can claim environmental damage caused by PETI, so that responsibility does not successfully ensnare corporate negligence in prevention efforts. The CSR accountability structure in Indonesia is weak because it only emphasizes activities that are carried out, not negligence that is overlooked. Regulatory reform is needed so that accountability includes passive responsibility to ensure that TJSL functions as a significant instrument of sustainable development.

This research aims to analyze the effect of CEO power and board gender diversity on modern slavery disclosure (MSD) among Indonesia’s top 50 publicly listed companies by market capitalization. The research uses a quantitative approach with secondary data collected from annual and sustainability reports during the 2022–2024 period. The results show that CEO power has a negative and significant effect on MSD, indicating that stronger CEO power will reduce disclosure transparency. Furthermore, gender diversity on the board of commissioners also shows a negative and significant relationship with MSD, indicating that female representation in supervisory roles has not yet contributed into greater social accountability within Indonesian firms. Meanwhile, gender diversity on the board of directors shows no significant effect. These results suggest that internal governance factors such as CEO power and limited female influence in top positions still hinder companies from being transparent about social and ethical issues. In conclusion, stronger regulations and independent oversight are needed to improve companies’ transparency regarding modern slavery practices.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Economic Entity Principle in the micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) Kedai Kita, which still relies on a simple financial recording system. The principle emphasizes the importance of separating personal and business finances to ensure that financial statements accurately and objectively reflect the entity's economic condition. The research employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach through direct interviews with the business owner to gain an in-depth understanding of the financial management practices implemented. The findings indicate that the application of the Economic Entity Principle at Kedai Kita has not been fully realized, as evidenced by the ongoing mixing of personal and business funds, the absence of a formal bookkeeping system, and inconsistent recording of cash flows and expenditures. The main factors hindering the implementation of this principle include limited accounting literacy, lack of time for bookkeeping, and the absence of a structured accounting system. Nevertheless, the business owner has begun to recognize the importance of separating finances as a foundation for more accountable business management. These findings imply the need for the adoption of simple recording applications, the provision of basic accounting training, and increased understanding among MSME actors regarding the benefits of structured financial statements. This study provides practical contributions for other MSMEs by demonstrating that the implementation of the Economic Entity Principle is a fundamental step in enhancing financial transparency and accountability, as well as strengthening opportunities for access to formal financing.

Professional more than just an normative obligation but a strategic element in safeguarding the credibility of the accounting profession and ensuring economic stability.

The manual submission of employee complaints often leads to slow handling, disorganized documentation, and limited transparency regarding complaint progress. These issues hinder internal communication and reduce the effectiveness of administrative processes. This study aims to design and implement a Web-Based Employee Complaint Submission System using PHP and the Bootstrap framework to improve efficiency and accuracy in managing complaints. The system supports three main categories of complaints: payroll, occupational safety and health, and work facilities. It also enables employees to track complaint status through request, approved, and rejected indicators. Administrators can manage user accounts and generate official follow-up letters. Implementation results show that the system improves data recording, enhances documentation order, and increases transparency in complaint handling. Overall, the system facilitates more structured, efficient, and traceable communication between employees and management, supporting better corporate governance.

Indonesia has extraordinary resources and potential in developing renewable energy sources (RES), but various obstacles must be overcome in implementing RES. The purpose of this study is to analyze the gap in the application of RES. This gap includes energy knowledge, community participation, battery waste management, service quality, regulation, and legal policy. This study uses a mixed-methods approach, by conducting a structured questionnaire in quantitative data collection, while qualitative data collection through special interviews, focused group discussions, and conducting policy regulation analysis. The results show that 62% of people do not understand RES, 28% are involved in project planning, and 74% are unaware of SOP (standard operating procedures) regarding battery waste recycling. The results of the correlation analysis reveal a positive relationship between the level of knowledge and interest in RES (R = 0.56). Also, the developed community-based participation model includes initial involvement, transparency of information, and local incentives. These findings further strengthen the compatibility of the innovation diffusion theory, planned behavior theory, SERVQUAL, and the theory of public interest. This study will make a practical contribution through evidence-based strategies in increasing resilience, especially for policymakers and energy service providers. The impact of the policy aspects includes the need for large reforms, education, public campaigns, and the realization of battery waste management systems. This study also provides an opportunity for further study by expanding the geographical scope and related industrial sectors.  

In this era of digital disruption, Islamic banks face significant challenges in maintaining public trust. Despite growth in assets and market share, many believe that Islamic banks operatein much the same way as conventional banks, while financing marginsare often considered higher than conventional bank interest rates. This perception contributes to low public trust, declining interest in saving, and public hesitation in using Islamic financing products. This study aims to explore how entrepreneurialinnovation and internalization of da'wah values canbe strategies to rebuild public trust in Islamic banks.

The results of the study show that the integration of dakwah princip lessuch as transparency, fairness, and ethical management in entrepreneurial practicesand digital innovation can strengthen public trust andincrease the competitiveness of Islamic banks. This study provides theoretical and practical insights for Islamic banks to align digital innovation and business strategies with core Islamic values, there by supporting financial sustainability and social legitimacy.

This study examines the relationship between market efficiency and digital financial innovation in the context of global financial transformation over the past decade, when fintech, cryptocurrency, and Decentralized Finance (DeFi) have significantly altered price formation and information dissemination mechanisms. The main issue raised is whether the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) theory remains relevant in the face of digital market dynamics characterized by high volatility, speculative behavior, and regulatory uncertainty. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of digital innovation on information efficiency, price transparency, and the stability of modern financial markets. The study used the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, examining 15 scientific articles published between 2015 and 2025 from various academic databases. The findings indicate that digital technology increases access and speed of information distribution, but does not always result in consistently efficient markets. Crypto and DeFi markets have been shown to exhibit fluctuating efficiency due to price anomalies, information asymmetry, and weak regulation. Overall, the literature synthesis confirms that market efficiency in the digital era is dynamic and influenced by the interaction between technology, investor behavior, and governance quality. This study concludes that the EMH remains relevant as a basic framework, but needs reinterpretation to suit the complex and rapidly changing characteristics of digital markets.

This study aims to analyze the development and scientific relationship between carbon risk perception, behavioral compliance of accountants, and sustainability mindset on the accuracy of carbon performance reporting through a bibliometric approach. This study is driven by the increasing need for accurate carbon reporting amidst global demands for sustainability transparency, as well as the limited understanding of the role of behavioral and psychological factors of accountants in ensuring the reliability of carbon reports. Research data was obtained from two leading scientific databases, namely Scopus and Google Scholar, with the main keywords "carbon risk perception," "behavioral compliance of accountants," "sustainability mindset," and "accuracy of carbon performance reporting." The data selection process was carried out using the PRISMA method to ensure the relevance and validity of the analyzed articles, while bibliometric analysis and visualization were performed using VOSviewer software. The results of the study indicate that the topic related to carbon reporting accuracy has evolved from a technical approach to a behavioral and psychological approach. Network and density visualizations show that behavioral compliance and sus-tainability mindset issues are still new but have high potential for development. Meanwhile, the authors' collaboration map demonstrates the geographic limitations of research, which remains concentrated in developed countries. These findings have important theoretical and practical implications, namely the need to integrate behavioral theory and professional ethics into sustainability accounting research and to en-hance accountants' capacity to understand carbon risks to ensure the accuracy of future sustainability re-porting.

The rapid digital transformation occurring in the field of education, particularly through the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), has created new opportunities for improving learning efficiency, personalizing instruction, and supporting educators’ workloads. However, these advancements also bring forth significant philosophical challenges, especially the potential for dehumanization within the educational process. This article examines how technology influences the fundamental human dimensions of learning and how the concept of humanization can serve as an ethical framework for designing and implementing educational technologies. AI-based digital learning environments often position learners as data objects, reducing the dialogical, empathetic, and relational aspects that are fundamental to humanistic education. Drawing on philosophical perspectives from existentialism and humanism, this study evaluates the potential threats to student autonomy, critical thinking, and character formation. Furthermore, it explores how the human–technology relationship can be ethically framed through the theory of technological mediation and Paulo Freire’s notion of liberatory education. The analysis indicates that technology can be humanized by emphasizing meaningful interaction, ensuring algorithmic transparency, and strengthening the role of teachers as mediators of values and empathy. Ultimately, the article argues that the benefits of AI in education can only be fully realized when technological development and implementation are guided by an ethical orientation that places human beings at the center. This study contributes to ongoing discussions on the role of technology in education and provides a critical perspective aimed at minimizing the risk of dehumanization in an era increasingly shaped by AI-driven digital learning.

The implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) is a crucial foundation for maintaining public trust in Indonesia’s Islamic banking sector. Yet, the effectiveness of GCG is often debated because formal practices tend to be technocratic and procedural, lacking deeper internalization of Sharia Ethical values. This study analyzes the application of GCG based on Sharia Ethics at Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI), with a case study at KCP Sawangan Sari Plaza. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, data were collected through source triangulation, including in-depth interviews with the Branch Operation and Service Manager (BOSM), customer service officers, and tellers. These interviews were supported by participatory observation and an examination of corporate documents. The findings reveal no significant discrepancy between formal GCG practices and Sharia Ethics at the research site. GCG principles such as Transparency, Accountability, Responsibility, and Fairness are consistently implemented and rooted in ethical values like Amanah (trustworthiness), Shidq (honesty), and ’Adl (justice). A key insight from this study is the shift in employee motivation from fear-based compliance toward value-based compliance. This shows that the integration of GCG and Sharia Ethics is strongly influenced by ethical leadership and the development of a spiritual work culture at the branch level.

Rapid infrastructure development in Indonesia poses significant environmental risks, necessitating effective control instruments like the Environmental Impact Assessment (AMDAL). This study analyzes the strategic role of AMDAL in supporting the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly regarding water security, sustainable cities, climate action, and ecosystem conservation. Using a qualitative method with a literature review approach, this research evaluates regulations and academic sources from 2020 to 2025. The findings reveal that AMDAL serves as a critical preventive tool that aligns industrial activities with SDG 6, SDG 11, SDG 13, SDG 14, and SDG 15 through the internalization of ecological costs and strict mitigation hierarchies. Furthermore, AMDAL functions as an essential baseline data source for government monitoring. However, the study identifies substantial barriers to implementation, including a deficit in meaningful public participation, weak law enforcement that renders AMDAL a mere administrative formality, and regulatory dynamics post-Job Creation Law (UUCK) which shifted to a risk-based approach. The study concludes that while AMDAL is theoretically robust as a safeguard for sustainability, its practical implementation requires strengthening in transparency and supervision to effectively bridge economic interests with ecological preservation.
