This study examines disaster mitigation efforts in minimizing disaster risk in Manado City and identifies the key challenges as well as the strategies implemented by the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD: Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah). Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews, direct observations, and document analysis, with the Head of BPBD serving as the primary informant. The analysis was conducted using Miles et al.’s (2014) interactive model, which consists of data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing, thereby ensuring systematic interpretation of findings.The results indicate that disaster mitigation efforts in Manado consist of both passive and active strategies. Passive measures include strengthening institutional frameworks, enhancing governance capacity, integrating disaster management planning into regional development programs, and advancing education and research to support long-term disaster risk reduction. In contrast, active mitigation emphasizes community-based actions, such as the installation of disaster warning signs, the provision of basic disaster training for officials and volunteers, the establishment of temporary evacuation shelters, and the implementation of both structural interventions (e.g., drainage construction, flood control) and non-structural measures (e.g., socialization, counseling, and public campaigns). Despite these initiatives, several challenges persist. Limited public awareness, inadequate infrastructure and facilities, a shortage of skilled human resources, weak planning and socialization, complex disaster causes, and environmental vulnerabilities all reduce the overall effectiveness of disaster risk reduction efforts. To address these obstacles, BPBD Manado fosters collaboration with various stakeholders, including government institutions, academia, non-governmental organizations, and local community groups. Moreover, the agency emphasizes the use of disaster risk assessments and hazard mapping as evidence-based foundations for policy formulation and implementation.

Digital transformation in the public sector has become a strategic agenda to improve the efficiency, transparency, and quality of government services, including in regional revenue management. This study aims to analyze the implementation of digital transformation in the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda: Badan Pendapatan Daerah) of East Java Province, especially in the Gresik Technical Implementation Unit (UPT: Unit Pelaksana Teknis), as well as its impact on administrative efficiency, transparency, and increasing Regional Original Revenue (PAD: Pendapatan Asli Daerah). This study uses a non-empirical qualitative approach with a literature study method, which involves the analysis of secondary data from scientific journals, policy documents, government performance reports, and community digitalization indicators such as the Indonesian Digital Society Index (IMDI: Indeks Masyarakat Digital Indonesia). The results show that digital transformation through e-payment systems and web-based administration has significantly accelerated the service process, improved taxpayer compliance, and reduced revenue leakage. The receipt of PAD through digital channels increased by 60% in one year, while service efficiency increased by reducing administrative process time from three days to one day. The implementation of this digital transformation is also influenced by the readiness of infrastructure, apparatus competence, and community digital literacy, as described in the theoretical framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Dynamic Capabilities, and TOE Framework. Despite positive achievements, challenges such as digital skills gaps, resistance to change, and system security issues are still obstacles in optimizing digital transformation. This research makes a theoretical contribution to the development  of e-governance literature  and digital public policy practices at the local level. These findings also provide concrete recommendations for other regions to replicate good practices of digital transformation that have succeeded in improving regional financial performance. Thus, digital transformation is not only a technological instrument, but also a governance strategy that requires synergy between technology, organizations, and society

Tawangsari Hamlet, Tejosari Village, Ngablak District, Magelang Regency, faces serious waste management challenges, reflected in the high daily waste production and the inactivity of waste banks post-COVID-19. To address this issue, the Tidar University Community Service Program (KKN) was implemented, aiming to improve environmental cleanliness through active community participation. This program also supports the achievement of the "Climate Action" goal in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which focuses on combating climate change caused by air pollution and reducing environmental pollution. The method used in this program is Participatory Action Research (PAR), which is oriented towards community empowerment by involving all stakeholders in every stage of implementation. The activity began with a series of observations to understand the condition of waste management in the community. Then, a waste management tool was created in the form of a smoke-free waste incinerator, which aims to manage inorganic waste in an environmentally friendly manner. In addition, trash bins to facilitate waste sorting at the household level were also provided. Socialization and mentoring for the community, especially youth organizations, were carried out to introduce and educate them on the correct use of incinerators and waste sorting. A demonstration of incinerator use was also conducted with the community, which proved to increase understanding and active participation. The implementation of the incinerator and waste sorting facility demonstrated that these measures were effective in addressing the waste problem in Tawangsari Hamlet and contributed to a cleaner and healthier environment. Furthermore, the program successfully raised environmental awareness among the Tawangsari Hamlet community. Through direct involvement in the waste management process, residents not only gained new knowledge about the importance of waste sorting but also experienced the direct benefits of implementing smoke-free incinerator technology.Keywords: waste management, low-smoke incinerator, Climate Action, SDGs, community empowerment, environmental pollution, Magelang Regency

Manado City is highly vulnerable to hydrometeorological disasters due to its geographical conditions, rapid and uncontrolled urbanization, and the intensifying impacts of climate change. These risks underline the importance of effective disaster mitigation strategies that go beyond government intervention and involve active participation from communities and non-governmental organizations. In this context, collaboration among various actors becomes a crucial foundation for developing an adaptive and participatory disaster governance system. This study aims to analyze the dynamics of actor collaboration in disaster mitigation efforts in Manado City, with particular emphasis on patterns of interaction, role distribution, and structural as well as cultural barriers that influence the effectiveness of multi-stakeholder synergy. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research relies on secondary data gathered from official documents, government policy reports, and relevant academic publications. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify key themes and relational dynamics among stakeholders. The findings reveal that although strong driving factors exist—such as a high level of disaster risk, increasing public awareness, and the availability of institutional frameworks—collaboration remains largely procedural and government-dominated, with limited engagement from non-government actors. Challenges such as weak trust among stakeholders, insufficient substantive dialogue, and the absence of an integrated disaster information system continue to hinder the realization of effective collaborative practices. The study concludes by highlighting the urgency of adopting a collaborative governance model that emphasizes equality, mutual trust, and meaningful participation. Theoretically, this research contributes to the discourse on disaster governance by providing insights into actor relations in a disaster-prone urban context. Practically, it proposes an adaptive collaboration framework that can be replicated in other cities facing similar disaster vulnerabilities, thereby strengthening resilience and community preparedness.

Human trafficking is a highly complex form of transnational crime involving transnational criminal networks. This crime generally originates from developing countries with unstable socio-economic conditions, where women and children are often the primary victims. They are forced or tricked into working in exploitative sectors, particularly sexual exploitation, labor exploitation, and other forms of oppression that benefit agents, distributors, and organized crime syndicates. In Indonesia, regulations regarding this crime are stipulated in Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Human Trafficking. This study aims to determine the form of legal protection provided to victims of human trafficking in the jurisdiction of the Surabaya Police, as well as to understand the various obstacles faced by police officers and the efforts made to overcome them. The research method used is empirical juridical, namely examining the law in practice through primary data obtained from interviews, observations, and official documents, then combined with secondary data in the form of legal literature, laws and regulations, and tertiary legal materials to support the analysis. This study found that the Surabaya City Police have implemented legal protection measures for victims of human trafficking in accordance with applicable regulations, from handling reports and conducting investigations and inquiries, to coordinating with relevant agencies such as social services, women's and children's protection agencies, and non-governmental organizations. However, several obstacles remain, including limited police resources, low victim awareness of reporting cases, and threats from perpetrators that discourage victims from cooperating. Despite this, maximum efforts continue to be made through improved inter-agency coordination, legal and psychological assistance for victims, and firm law enforcement against perpetrators. Therefore, it can be concluded that legal protection for victims of human trafficking at the Surabaya City Police has been quite effective, although institutional strengthening and increased public legal awareness are still needed.

This study aims to determine the relationship between organizational commitment and readiness for change among employees at Ramayana Plaza Andalas Padang. The background of this study emphasizes the importance of human resource readiness in facing the increasingly rapid dynamics of organizational change, whether due to globalization, technological developments, or increasingly competitive market competition. Organizational change demands active involvement and psychological readiness from employees, and one factor believed to play a significant role in this readiness is the level of commitment to the organization. This study used a quantitative approach with a nonprobability sampling method, where data were collected through a questionnaire using a Likert scale. Respondents were employees from various departments at Ramayana Plaza Andalas Padang. The results showed a significant relationship between organizational commitment and readiness for change. Specifically, affective commitment—which is an employee's emotional cessation of feelings toward the organization—and continuance commitment, which relates to the perception of the costs of leaving the organization, showed a positive relationship with readiness for change. Conversely, normative commitment, which stems from a sense of moral obligation to remain employed, showed a negative correlation, indicating that moral pressure without emotional involvement can hinder readiness for change. These findings indicate that although the overall level of readiness is quite high, several aspects such as fit (the appropriateness of change), change efficacy (belief in the ability to change), and management support still need improvement. Therefore, it is recommended that organizations focus more on strengthening affective commitment by actively involving employees in the decision-making process, building open communication, and providing training and coaching that supports ongoing readiness for change. Thus, the success of organizational change is greatly influenced by the quality of the emotional connection between employees and the organization.

This study investigates how transformational leadership, work motivation, and human resource (HR) human resources training influence employee performance across various industrial sectors in Indonesia. Improving employee performance is crucial for organizational success in an increasingly dynamic business environment. This study utilizes a quantitative survey method and involves 200 people from the manufacturing, service, and trade sectors. The data was analyzed using multiple linear regression after being collected through questionnaires. Research shows that human resource training, work motivation, and transformational leadership simultaneously and partially have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. The results indicate that organizations must enhance their inspiring leadership styles, boost employee morale through internal and external approaches, and implement sustainable training programs to improve their employees' skills. This study provides a theoretical basis for the advancement of human resource management science and offers practical benefits for human resource managers and practitioners in improving organizational efficiency.

This study addresses the issue of inadequate financial reporting by Regional Government Organizations (Organisasi Perangkat Daerah/OPD) in Nganjuk, where financial statements are expected to meet user needs in fulfilling transparency and accountability requirements. The research investigates the influence of four key factors—accounting standards, information systems, internal controls, and the competence of human resources—on the quality of financial statements. Furthermore, it examines the moderating role of organizational commitment in strengthening or weakening the relationships between these factors and financial reporting quality. The study adopts a quantitative research design, with data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 53 OPD offices, involving 212 randomly selected respondents. Data were analyzed using classical assumption tests to ensure validity and reliability, followed by Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) employing SPSS software. The findings reveal that information systems, internal controls, and competent human resources have a significant positive effect on the quality of financial reports. In contrast, accounting standards show no significant direct impact. Moreover, organizational commitment plays a moderating role in enhancing the positive effects of information systems, internal controls, and human resource competence on report quality. However, it does not moderate the relationship between accounting standards and financial reporting quality. These results highlight the importance of both technical and human resource aspects in improving financial statement quality within OPDs. While adequate systems and controls are crucial, the study underscores that the presence of strong organizational commitment is a determining factor in maximizing their effectiveness. The research suggests that efforts to improve financial reporting should not only focus on compliance with standards but also on strengthening commitment, training, and the integration of information systems and internal control mechanisms

Maintaining employee engagement presents a significant challenge for organizations, particularly when dealing with Generation Z, who possess unique characteristics, strong technological orientation, and high expectations regarding fairness in the workplace. One crucial factor believed to influence the level of employee engagement is organizational justice. This concept encompasses employees’ perceptions of fairness in the distribution of outcomes (distributive justice), the procedures applied (procedural justice), interpersonal treatment (interpersonal justice), and the clarity of information provided (informational justice). This study aims to examine the contribution of organizational justice to employee engagement among Gen Z employees at the Habepro Radionet Indonesia network. The research employed a quantitative approach with a simple linear regression method. The study population comprised all permanent Gen Z employees working within the network, with a sample size of 35 respondents. Data were collected using an organizational justice questionnaire covering its four dimensions and the Employee Engagement Scale (EES) to measure engagement levels. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software through a simple linear regression test. The results revealed that organizational justice has a significant effect on employee engagement (p < 0.05), with a coefficient of determination of 0.528. This indicates that 52.8% of the variation in employee engagement can be explained by perceptions of organizational justice, while the remaining percentage is influenced by other factors beyond the scope of this study. These findings highlight the strategic importance of implementing fairness principles within organizations to enhance employee engagement, especially among Gen Z employees who tend to be more sensitive to equitable treatment, transparency of information, and open communication. Therefore, organizations are encouraged to design policies, procedures, and workplace interactions that foster a sense of justice, thereby sustaining employee engagement and contributing positively to overall organizational performance.

The management of incoming and outgoing correspondence in an effective and efficient manner is a crucial aspect in supporting the performance of government organizations, including the Civil Service and Human Resource Development Agency (BKPSDM) of Nabire Regency. As an institution responsible for handling personnel administration, BKPSDM regularly receives and sends a large volume of official letters every month. However, the archiving process is still conducted manually using physical media such as folders, filing cabinets, and record books. This manual system presents several drawbacks, including the risk of data loss, delays in document retrieval, recording errors, and the potential for physical damage to archives due to environmental factors. This study aims to design and develop a digital archiving system for incoming and outgoing letters using the Waterfall software development methodology. The Waterfall method is selected because of its structured approach and suitability for projects with clearly defined requirements. The stages in this method include requirements analysis, system design, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The result of this research is a web-based letter archiving information system that can efficiently record, store, and retrieve correspondence accurately and securely. The implementation of this system is expected to improve the efficiency and accountability of letter archive management at BKPSDM Nabire Regency and support the acceleration of digitalization in government administrative services.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of legal protection for victims of human trafficking in Indonesia, based on Law Number 21 of 2007 concerning the Eradication of the Crime of Human Trafficking. Legal protection for victims encompasses preventive measures, case handling, and the restoration of victims’ rights through available legal mechanisms. The focus of this research is to evaluate how far the existing regulations can provide comprehensive protection for victims—beginning from the victim identification process, through judicial proceedings, and continuing to social rehabilitation and reintegration into society. This study applies a normative juridical method that emphasizes legal norms and regulations in force. It also highlights the importance of synergy among law enforcement agencies, the government, and non-governmental organizations to ensure optimal protection for trafficking victims. The research identifies several challenges in the implementation of legal protection, such as limited human resources and inadequate facilities, lack of public legal awareness, and judicial processes that are often slow and unresponsive to victims’ needs. Another major obstacle is the lack of access to legal aid and recovery services, which are crucial for supporting victims’ reintegration and fulfillment of their human rights. This paper seeks to provide a clearer understanding of the current conditions regarding legal protection for human trafficking victims in Indonesia and to formulate recommendations for more effective and integrated policy improvements. Enhancing legal frameworks and improving inter-agency coordination are essential steps toward ensuring victims receive justice and the protection they are entitled to under human rights principles.

CS'an dominated in five of the six sub-districts in Kupang City, namely Kota Lama, Kelapa Lima, Maulafa, and Oebobo. It can be concluded that Christian Widodo and Serena Francis' political strategies show consistency in building narratives that are relevant to the needs of the community, especially in the areas of local economic empowerment and public service reform. They optimize social media and digital communication to reach young voters, strengthen public engagement, and shape their image as adaptive and modern leaders. Both build strategic coalitions with civil society groups and youth organizations that expand their electoral reach, especially in urban and semi-urban areas. Serena Francis specifically raises the issue of women's representation and political inclusivity, which has succeeded in attracting the attention of women and marginalized groups.

The radical transformations toward business economies and knowledge-based information have become a focal point for writers and researchers, particularly in the fields of public administration and financial management. These changes have significantly affected the banking industry, especially with the liberalization of global markets for financial and banking organizations, along with the rapid technological advancements and information shifts. Such transformations have inevitably led to alterations in banking performance, with new methods being adopted to address emerging challenges in the banking sector. In this context, Total Quality Management (TQM) has emerged as a crucial concept with a clear impact on banking performance. Its significance is particularly evident within Islamic banks, as they play a vital role in the global banking system, operating under a set of unique principles and practices. The effectiveness of TQM in improving the operational efficiency and risk management strategies of these institutions cannot be overstated, as these banks consistently demonstrate financial sufficiency, often exceeding required ratios. However, despite their financial stability, Islamic banks face challenges in fully implementing the principles of TQM. This study seeks to explore how the requirements of TQM can help reduce financing risks in Islamic banks by enhancing service quality, improving customer satisfaction, and optimizing internal processes. By examining the relationship between TQM practices and risk management strategies, this research aims to offer insights into how Islamic banks can better navigate the complexities of modern financial landscapes while ensuring continued growth and stability. Through this study, the potential for TQM to serve as a strategic tool for reducing financing risks in Islamic banks will be assessed, contributing to a more sustainable and competitive banking environment.

Corruption is a severe issue that threatens good government and impedes national growth. Various legislative tools, including Law Number 31 of 1999 in conjunction with Law Number 20 of 2001 concerning the Eradication of Criminal Acts of Corruption, have been used in Indonesia to combat corruption, as well as the establishment of special institutions such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK). Although regulations and institutions for eradicating corruption are available, the implementation of the law in the field still faces various obstacles, including weak coordination between law enforcers, political intervention, and the effectiveness of sanctions imposed on perpetrators of corruption. The study seeks to analyze the legal framework governing corruption eradication in Indonesia and identify obstacles in its implementation. This study also looks at legal tactics that can be used to improve the efficacy of anti-corruption efforts. This study takes a normative legal approach and concentrates on analyzing pertinent laws and regulations, court records, and scholarly works. This study's data came from secondary sources including books, scientific journals, and reports from anti-corruption organizations, as well as primary sources like relevant laws and regulations. It is anticipated that this investigation will provide a deeper insight of the effectiveness of the law in eradicating corruption in Indonesia and to find aspects that need to be improved in the existing legal system. Thus, this study can provide academic contributions and practical recommendations for policymakers to strengthen the eradication of corruption in Indonesia. In addition to analyzing the legal framework and challenges, this study also explores the role of public awareness and participation in the fight against corruption in Indonesia. Public involvement, such as through the reporting of corrupt activities and participation in anti-corruption campaigns, can significantly contribute to strengthening anti-corruption efforts.

In an increasingly complex and dynamic global landscape, strategic leadership plays a pivotal role in ensuring organizational resilience and sustainable growth. This study seeks to provide a meaningful contribution to the development of leadership strategies aimed at fostering both learning-oriented and ethically grounded organizations. Adopting a literature review approach, the research synthesizes a range of scholarly works to explore in depth the leadership practices that facilitate continuous learning while embedding ethical principles into organizational operations and culture.The analysis reveals that the essence of effective strategic leadership lies in the capacity to navigate rapid changes, exercise authority with wisdom, and cultivate a culture of integrity. Leaders who can anticipate and adapt to environmental shifts, while maintaining transparency and fairness, are better positioned to build trust and commitment within their organizations. Additionally, strategic leadership is found to be instrumental in shaping an environment that nurtures collaboration, stimulates innovation, and incorporates ethical considerations into all levels of decision-making.The findings underscore that leadership strategies must not only address operational and competitive challenges but also prioritize moral responsibility and collective well-being. This dual focus enables organizations to remain agile while preserving their ethical identity, thus strengthening their reputation and long-term sustainability.Ultimately, the study offers practical recommendations for leaders, particularly in the public and educational sectors, to design adaptive organizational systems rooted in ethical values. By integrating learning processes with moral governance, leaders can create a synergistic and sustainable framework that supports both organizational performance and societal trust, ensuring relevance and resilience in the face of continual change.

This study was conducted at Family Pharmacy in Pekanbaru City with the objective of examining the relationship between emotional intelligence and work stress, as well as their combined effect on employee performance. The research population consisted of all 150 employees in the production department. Using the Slovin formula, a sample of 60 respondents was selected through accidental sampling. Data collection was carried out via an online questionnaire distributed through Google Forms. The analytical methods employed were correlation analysis to assess the relationship between variables and multiple linear regression to measure their simultaneous influence on performance. The results indicated a negative relationship between emotional intelligence and work stress, meaning that employees with higher emotional intelligence tended to experience lower levels of work stress. Furthermore, when examined together, emotional intelligence and work stress had a significant impact on employee performance. Specifically, these two variables contributed 47.4% to the variance in performance, while the remaining 52.6% was influenced by other factors not addressed in this study. The findings highlight the importance of emotional intelligence as a critical factor in managing workplace stress and enhancing performance, especially in the pharmaceutical industry where precision, cooperation, and adaptability are essential. Improving employees’ emotional intelligence may serve as a strategic approach to reducing work-related stress and fostering better performance outcomes. Organizations are therefore encouraged to invest in training and development programs that emphasize emotional regulation, empathy, interpersonal skills, and effective communication. Future research should consider incorporating additional variables such as work motivation, organizational culture, leadership style, and job satisfaction to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the determinants of employee performance. Expanding the research scope to different departments and industries could also provide broader insights into how emotional intelligence and work stress interact across diverse work settings.

This research examines the legal issues surrounding the Environmental Impact Assessment (Analisis Mengenai Dampak Lingkungan—AMDAL) as a prerequisite for obtaining business or activity permits in Indonesia. The study adopts a normative juridical approach, analyzing legal theories, concepts, and principles relevant to environmental law. The enactment of Law Number 11 of 2020 on Job Creation introduced significant amendments, deletions, and new provisions to Law Number 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH Law). One of the most substantial changes is the removal of the explicit obligation to obtain an environmental permit, replacing it with a requirement for environmental approval issued by the central government. This environmental approval consists of the Statement of Environmental Management Capability (Pernyataan Kesanggupan Pengelolaan Lingkungan Hidup—PKLHP) and the Environmental Feasibility Decision (Keputusan Kelayakan Lingkungan Hidup—KKLH), both intended to ensure that businesses and activities comply with environmental standards before commencing operations. However, the revision also affects public participation in the AMDAL process. Under the Job Creation Law, opportunities for environmental organizations and local communities to be involved in the preparation, review, and decision-making stages of AMDAL have been significantly reduced. This shift raises concerns about transparency, accountability, and the integration of environmental, social, and economic considerations in decision-making. In the context of sustainable development, environmental permits or approvals should not only serve as administrative formalities but also as instruments to safeguard environmental quality and uphold public interest. Public participation plays a critical role in ensuring that AMDAL processes reflect diverse perspectives, promote environmental justice, and support the long-term goals of environmental protection. The study concludes that while the Job Creation Law aims to streamline licensing and promote investment, its impact on public involvement in environmental governance poses risks to the integrity of environmental protection frameworks in Indonesia.

Digital transformation in government governance demands an integrated information system capable of increasing efficiency, transparency, and accountability. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the use of the Secretariat and Supporting Elements Integration System Application (Si-SEKRUP) at the Communication and Informatics Office of Central Java Province. The research method used a qualitative descriptive approach with data triangulation techniques in the form of documentation, observation, and literature studies. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of Si-SEKRUP has a positive impact on administrative management. This application is able to accelerate administrative processes by up to 50% compared to the previous manual system. In addition, electronic document recording encourages transparency, while digital and real-time asset monitoring strengthens institutional accountability. Resource efficiency has also increased, as seen from the significant reduction in paper use, in line with the principles of green office. The research findings are linked to the theory of organizational effectiveness and Management Information Systems (MIS), where Si-SEKRUP is assessed to have met the indicators of accuracy, timeliness, relevance, and efficiency of information. This indicates that the application can function as a supporting tool in strategic and operational decision-making within government organizations. However, optimizing the application's use still faces challenges, particularly related to the need for employee training and consistent managerial support. With strengthened human resource capacity and leadership commitment, Si-SEKRUP has the potential to become an effective and sustainable integrated information system model supporting digital-based bureaucratic reform.

The current transformation of the workplace demands that organizations be more adaptive in understanding the factors that influence employee productivity, especially among the younger generation. Generation Z, as an age group that is starting to dominate the workforce, brings different characteristics and needs, including in terms of work-life balance and motivation. They tend to value time more, opportunities for self-development, and an inclusive work environment that supports a balance between professional and personal life. This study aims to determine the relationship between work-life balance and motivation on the performance of Generation Z employees in Klaten Regency. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method. A total of 100 respondents were selected using a purposive sampling technique based on age and employment status criteria. The research instrument was a questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale, which included statements related to the dimensions of work-life balance, levels of work motivation (both intrinsic and extrinsic), and employee performance indicators. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS version 25 software with correlation tests and multiple regression. The results showed that both work-life balance and motivation have a positive and significant relationship on employee performance. Among these two variables, motivation is the dominant factor influencing performance improvement. This suggests that while work-life balance is important, internal employee motivations such as passion, purpose, and a sense of belonging have a greater impact on job performance. The implications of these findings suggest that companies need to design human resource management strategies that are not only flexible but also responsive to the needs of the younger generation. Creating a work environment that supports work-life balance, provides recognition, and provides career opportunities.

. This study aims to comprehensively analyze the role of management in enhancing organizational effectiveness. In the context of increasingly complex business dynamics, organizations require managerial approaches that are not only efficient but also adaptive to change. This research adopts a descriptive qualitative approach to examine classical to modern management theories, as well as core managerial functions such as planning, organizing, leading, and controlling. Through literature studies and conceptual observations, the research finds that organizational effectiveness is significantly influenced by the consistency and integration of managerial functions, particularly in the context of strategic leadership and efficient resource management. Moreover, the organization’s flexibility in responding to external environmental changes and its ability to create a collaborative and productive work culture are critical success factors. A case study of PT Astra International Tbk serves as concrete evidence of how strategic and structured management can generate sustainable competitive advantages and growth. By applying managerial functions in an integrated manner and aligning them with market and organizational needs, the company maintains superior performance. This research contributes to the development of management science, particularly in the context of organizational effectiveness. The study recommends strengthening managerial capacity, developing visionary leadership, and establishing a result-oriented control system as essential strategies for improving organizational performance
