Internal governance and psychological safety are key factors influencing employee performance in private universities in Indonesia. Internal governance ensures efficient and transparent operations aligned with institutional goals, whereas psychological safety allows employees to express ideas and take risks without fear of negative consequences. Organizational communication mediates the relationship between these factors and employee performance. This study aimed to assess the impact of internal governance and psychological safety on employee performance in private universities in Banten, with organizational communication as an intervening variable. This study explores how these elements contribute to performance through effective communication. A quantitative approach was employed with a sample of 50 respondents from private universities in Banten. Data were collected via structured surveys, and SmartPLS 4.0 software was used to analyze the relationships between internal governance, psychological safety, organizational communication, and employee performance. This study found that internal governance positively influenced organizational communication, which significantly enhanced employee performance. Psychological safety also contributes to organizational communication but has a minimal direct impact on performance. Organizational communication plays a crucial mediating role in linking governance, safety, and performance. These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening internal governance, fostering psychological safety, and improving organizational communication to optimize employee performance in private universities. By focusing on these factors, universities can create a more supportive environment that enhances employee engagement and effectiveness of the faculty.

In the Independent Curriculum implemented in schools starting the 2024/2025 academic year, there are Learning Outcomes (CP) that read "Students are able to modify/deconstruct literary works for creative economic purposes" and "Students are able to translate one text into another for creative economic purposes". In reality, in schools, there are still few teachers who connect literary works with economic issues, many teachers are still unfamiliar with the concept of translation, not many teachers have participated in translation training, and there is no guidebook for translating literary texts into non-literary texts or vice versa. This also applies to high school Indonesian Language teachers in Rembang Regency. Combining these two Learning Outcomes and connecting them to conditions in society, this community service conducted training on translating literary works into advertising texts for high school Indonesian Language teachers in Rembang Regency. The training was carried out with the first stage providing material on translation and advertising and the second stage providing mentoring to teachers to practice translating literary works into advertising.

The development of digital media has made food reviews an important factor in shaping consumer perceptions and decisions, especially for Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the culinary sector, which are highly dependent on reputation. However, food reviews that are not objective, not based on real experiences, or presented in an exaggerated manner have the potential to cause material and immaterial losses for MSMEs. This study aims to analyze the forms of legal protection for MSMEs due to biased food reviews in digital media and to examine the legal basis for liability for such reviews based on the Civil Code and the Electronic Information and Transactions Law. The research method used is normative juridical with a regulatory approach and conceptual through the analysis of primary and secondary legal materials. The results of the study show that MSMEs can take legal action through lawsuits for unlawful acts and criminal provisions in the ITE Law, although its implementation still faces obstacles in the form of the nature of complaint offenses and difficulties in proving them. This study emphasizes the need to strengthen regulations and ethical guidelines for digital reviews in order to provide more proportional legal protection for MSMEs.  

This article explores inconsistencies in employee performance within small, project-oriented service sectors, where quality depends on daily tasks, punctuality, and adherence to procedures. Since skill development relies largely on informal workplace learning, differences in worker competencies often lead to rework, customer complaints, and safety issues. The study investigates how skills and competencies affect employee performance, illustrating how individual abilities translate into observable performance through the ability–motivation–opportunity (AMO) framework and experience-based learning. A qualitative case study at Rajasa Teknik included interviews and observations to examine project coordination, quality standards, and supervision practices. Results indicate that competencies and skills primarily influence ability, but sustained motivation- driven by realistic goals and fair feedback- along with ample opportunities such as smooth material flow, clear roles, and on-site decision support, enhance performance. The findings underline the importance of a cohesive work system (task division, quality control, communication), a consistent safety culture (K3), and straightforward, repetitive HR practices that facilitate tacit knowledge transfer into routines. Improvements suggested involve mapping core competencies, brief mentoring sessions, quality-focused standards, and evaluation systems to minimise service variation and promote sustainable performance in similar businesses. Overall, this research broadens the understanding of performance management in small enterprises and offers practical guidance for interventions.

Millennials aged 25 to 40 are currently the largest consumer group. Their dynamic lifestyles and social demands make them highly consumptive. The ease of obtaining credit, such as loans and credit cards, through advances in financial technology (FinTech) has further accelerated this trend. Unfortunately, exposure to social media that portrays a consumptive lifestyle encourages many of them to follow trends and buy non-essential items. The lack of financial literacy among young Indonesians often makes them unaware of the consequences of debt, which ultimately erodes the financial independence that is so badly needed in this era. This study aims to prove the relationship between Financial Technology, Lifestyle, and Self-Control that influence Debt Behavior. In addition, it is seen that men and women have different levels of self-control, and this is input for researchers to add gender as a moderating variable in their research. The research method used is a mixed method, more precisely a Sequential Explanatory Design, in which quantitative data is collected and analyzed, then combined with qualitative data to explain or enhance quantitative findings. Primary data was collected through questionnaires and interviews with experts, while secondary data was collected from articles and other reference data. The population used was the community in the city of Jakarta. The sample was collected using accidental sampling techniques, and the statistical test tool used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS software.

This study aims to evaluate the validity, effectiveness, and practicality of developing problem-based teaching materials for improving student learning outcomes. The research focuses on a practical module for the subject of electric motor installation at SMKN 1 Driyorejo, where interviews and needs assessment revealed issues such as teacher-centered learning and limited student resources, primarily relying on notebooks. These factors have hindered optimal learning outcomes. The development of problem-based learning modules was intended to address these issues and improve cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning outcomes. The research follows a Research & Development (R&D) approach with four steps: 1) Define, 2) Design, 3) Develop, and 4) Disseminate, using a one-shot case study trial design. The study involved 30 students of grade XI TITL 1 at SMKN 1 Driyorejo. Results showed the module’s validity at 3.66, practicality based on student responses at 89.25, and effectiveness with cognitive, psychomotor, and affective outcomes of 84.93, 89.40, and 94.00, respectively. These findings suggest that the problem-based practical module is valid, practical, and effective for improving student learning outcomes across various domains.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of the public services of the Sorong City Education Office for the community by examining the relationships among service effectiveness, community satisfaction, service accountability, and apparatus responsiveness.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a vital role in driving economic growth; however, their production activities frequently face uncertainty in achieving predetermined targets. Such uncertainty arises from fluctuating market demand, delays in raw material supply, labor limitations, variations in processing time, and other technical constraints. Conventional deterministic production planning methods often fail to capture these real-world risks and variations, leading to less accurate and suboptimal decisions. Therefore, a more adaptive analytical approach that incorporates probability and uncertainty is required. This study aims to analyze the probability of achieving MSME production targets using the Monte Carlo Simulation method. This method models random production conditions by generating data based on probability distributions derived from historical records. Simulations are repeated through numerous iterations to estimate possible variations in production output and measure the likelihood of meeting targets. The results indicate that Monte Carlo simulation provides more realistic and comprehensive production forecasts compared to traditional planning approaches. By understanding both the probability of success and potential risks, MSMEs can design adaptive strategies, optimize resource allocation, manage inventory more effectively, and improve overall production planning accuracy to ensure long-term business sustainability in a dynamic environment.

This study aims to analyze production cost efficiency through the use of self-formulated feed based on rice bran in laying hen farming in Kutamandiri Village. Feed costs represent the largest component of production expenses in laying hen enterprises, reaching up to 60–70% of total operational costs. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach using primary data collected through observation, interviews, and cost-revenue recording during one production period. Data were analyzed using cost structure analysis and Revenue-Cost (R/C) ratio to determine business feasibility. The results indicate that the use of rice bran-based self-formulated feed reduced feed costs and lowered total production expenses. The calculated R/C ratio was 1.43, indicating that the enterprise is financially feasible and profitable. Additionally, the findings suggest that utilizing locally available feed resources such as rice bran can improve cost efficiency, reduce reliance on external feed supplies, and enhance the sustainability of small-scale laying hen enterprises. This research provides valuable insights for farmers in Kutamandiri Village and other similar agricultural communities looking to optimize production costs and improve their profitability by adopting cost-effective, locally sourced feed options.

This study aims to analyze the development of marine tourism in Makassar City. The city of Makassar has rich maritime potential with a combination of coastal areas and small islands that have underwater ecosystems and beautiful beach scenery, supporting the formation of marine tourism. Although there is regulatory support from various relevant national regulations and regional policies to support the development of marine tourism, the facilitation of this development still faces several challenges, including sectoral ego, poor coordination between institutions, and inadequate participation from the local community. This research was examined through the adaptive capacity theory by Emerson and Gerlak (2014), which includes structural arrangements, leadership, knowledge and learning, and resources, while the research method used was a qualitative method examined using descriptive analysis. The results of this study indicate that increasing adaptive capacity through joint efforts, participatory leadership, collective learning, and effective resource management is crucial in promoting sustainable marine tourism. In this regard, the implementation of marine tourism in Makassar City needs to be formulated as a tourism management system that adapts to social, economic, and ecological changes in order to achieve sustainable regional development through marine tourism.
