The findings of this study indicate that work environment, job satisfaction, and motivation simultaneously have a significant effect on the commitment of teachers and staff at Petukangan Selatan 01 Public Elementary School. This shows that a conducive work environment, such as adequate facilities, supportive colleagues, and a comfortable atmosphere, can increase the sense of belonging and loyalty among employees. Job satisfaction, which includes aspects such as fairness in rewards, recognition of achievements, and appropriate workloads, also contributes to strengthening work commitment. In addition, motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic, plays a central role in encouraging employees to perform their duties with responsibility and enthusiasm. These findings also reinforce the importance of creating a balance between external factors (such as work environment) and internal factors (such as motivation and job satisfaction) to achieve strong commitment. Therefore, the implication of this research is that school management needs to continuously improve working conditions, develop fair reward systems, and provide opportunities for career development. By doing so, the commitment of teachers and staff can be maintained and even enhanced, which in turn will support the achievement of school goals more effectively.

This article examines the role of students of the Real Work Lecture (KKN) of the State Islamic University of North Sumatra in Stabat Lama Village in supporting community development through an integrative approach that covers three main areas, namely religious moderation, stunting prevention, and extreme poverty alleviation. The religious moderation program is carried out through Maghrib Mengaji, Gebyar Islami, and interfaith dialogue, which has been proven to strengthen tolerance and social harmony in the community. The stunting prevention program is realized through the provision of supplemental food (PMT) based on local ingredients, which is able to improve the nutritional status of toddlers while preventing the risk of new stunting. Furthermore, the community economic empowerment program is carried out through ecoprint training with eco pounding techniques that produce works of selling value and open up opportunities for environment-based businesses. The results of the activities show that the three programs complement each other and contribute to improving health, economic independence, and socio-religious harmony. The real impact of the implementation of this program is not only felt in the short term, but also provides the foundation for the development of a more independent and sustainable society. Through the active involvement of students, KKN activities succeeded in connecting academic theory with real practice in the field, so that it was able to provide contextual solutions to village problems. The empowerment carried out also emphasizes inclusive community participation, especially vulnerable groups such as housewives and toddlers, so as to provide more equitable benefits. Thus, KKN in Stabat Lama Village represents a holistic, sustainable, and relevant service model to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

This community service program (PKM) aims to empower farmer groups and women’s groups in Salenrang Village, Bontoa District, Maros Regency, through the diversification of pappa plant (Stenochlaena palustris) products. The pappa plant is a local resource with high economic potential, yet its utilization remains limited. Therefore, this PKM activity focuses on enhancing community skills in processing pappa leaves into innovative food products with greater market competitiveness. The program was carried out through counseling, practical training, and intensive mentoring from upstream to downstream. Participants were guided in selecting high-quality raw materials, applying hygienic processing techniques, creating recipe innovations, developing attractive packaging, and strengthening business management as well as digital-based marketing strategies. Through a participatory approach, the program not only increased knowledge but also built technical skills that could be directly applied in local businesses. The results of the activities indicated a significant improvement in the knowledge and skills of approximately 25 participants. One of the flagship products developed was pappa leaf crackers, which are characterized by a crispy texture and distinctive taste. The product received positive responses from the local community and showed promising market potential. At least 15 group members were intensively trained and expressed strong interest in developing entrepreneurial activities based on pappa leaf processing. This program contributes to strengthening household economies, preserving local plants as part of cultural identity, and promoting regional culinary development. With continued mentoring, pappa-based processed products are expected to become an icon of creative economy in Salenrang Village and foster sustainable community independence.

This study discusses the role of altruistic behavior in supporting career guidance programs for former prisoners at the Purwokerto Correctional Center. Former prisoners often face challenges in social reintegration, especially due to societal stigma and limited access to employment. Altruism-based career guidance programs aim to equip them with skills and psychosocial support to increase employment opportunities and economic independence. This study uses a qualitative approach with in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis methods. The results show that the role of volunteers and communities with social concerns is very important in reducing barriers to the reintegration of former prisoners. The support provided is not only in the form of job skills training, but also in psychosocial assistance that helps increase their motivation and self-confidence. Although this program has a positive impact, there are still various challenges such as limited funding, lack of community participation, and strong social stigma. Therefore, collaborative efforts are needed between the government, social organizations, and the community to create a more inclusive environment for former prisoners.

This community service activity was carried out with the aim of improving the memory of students at the Baiturrahman Islamic Boarding School (TPQ) through the implementation of group guidance based on an interactive question and answer method. The background of this program is based on the problem of low retention of religious material that has been learned by students, so the learning approach is needed that does not only emphasize memorization, but also activates the process of critical and in-depth thinking. In its implementation, the activity is designed to involve students directly in group discussions guided by a facilitator. The questions posed are structured in such a way as to stimulate repetition of information, encourage logical reasoning, and help students connect the learning material with real experiences in everyday life. Through this process, students are not only asked to answer questions but are also trained to develop broader answers, thereby strengthening understanding and improving communication skills. This program also prioritizes a fun, collaborative, and participatory learning atmosphere so that students feel more motivated to actively participate. Evaluation results show a significant increase in students' ability to remember, understand, and re-present learning material more quickly, accurately, and coherently. Furthermore, this activity also has a positive impact on increasing students' self-confidence in the learning process and strengthening collaborative skills among group members. Thus, group guidance using the question-and-answer method can be considered an effective learning strategy for strengthening students' memory and increasing their learning motivation.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengkaji secara mendalam strategi komunikasi publik yang diterapkan oleh Dinas Komunikasi dan Informatika (Diskominfo) Kota Bengkulu dalam upaya meningkatkan literasi digital masyarakat di tengah proses transformasi digital.
