Entering the third decade of the 21st century, the church faces the urgency of redefining its existence amidst the shift to a digital ecosystem. This research aims to analyze the synergy between church management and transformational leadership toward the effectiveness of leader multiplication in the Digital 4.0 era. Using a qualitative method with a descriptive-analytical approach through library research, this study explores the integration of modern management theories and theological principles. The findings indicate that church management serves as a vital infrastructure providing operational stability, while transformational leadership acts as a catalyst for innovation and behavioral change in facing VUCA (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) conditions. The synergy between these two elements creates a “Digital Shepherding” model, where the digital space is transformed into a theological medium for character formation and spiritual transmission. The study concludes that the effectiveness of leader multiplication is determined by a shift from person-centered leadership to a system-inspired approach that integrates digital capabilities with biblical integrity. Strategic implications suggest that churches must adopt a digital mindset and establish digital leadership laboratories to ensure the sustainability of their mission among Generation Z.

The dominance of Western management paradigms in global leadership studies has created homogeneous standards that are less sensitive to non-Western cultural values, while the decolonization of management calls for more contextual, inclusive, and locally-informed approaches. This study aims to analyze the concept of cross-cultural leadership within the framework of management decolonization, identify critiques of Western leadership models, and formulate a conceptual framework for global leadership based on non-Western values. The approach employed is qualitative, drawing on literature review and thematic synthesis of academic publications, international reports, and policy documents relevant to leadership practices in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. The findings reveal that cross-cultural leadership emphasizes collectivism, social harmony, relationality, spirituality, and the integration of local values into decision-making, which significantly diverges from the individualistic and transformational models dominant in the West. These findings underscore the need to reconstruct global leadership standards to be more pluralistic, culturally sensitive, and adaptive to the diversity of multinational organizations. Conceptually, this article contributes an alternative framework for global leadership studies, providing a foundation for managerial practices that respect local cultural values, and offering implications for curriculum development in management education and organizational policies that support inclusivity and sustainability in cross-cultural environments. The abstract reflects the study’s contribution to expanding the literature on cross-cultural leadership through decolonial and indigenous leadership perspectives. Keywords: Cross-cultural leadership, Manajemen decolonization, Non-Western global standards, Indigenous leadership, Postcolonial management, Local cultural values

Community dues are a form of public participation in supporting social activities and neighborhood development. However, low participation in paying dues remains a common issue in many communities. This study aims to analyze the role of community awareness and the management system of youth organizations in improving the effectiveness of dues collection in Neighborhood 15, Geluran, Sidoarjo. The method used is Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD), with data collected through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. The results show that increased community awareness, supported by continuous socialization, has positively influenced residents’ perceptions, transforming dues from being seen as a burden into a shared responsibility. In addition, improvements in management systems, including transparent financial recording and regular reporting, have strengthened public trust. The findings also indicate a strong relationship between awareness and management systems, where transparency enhances trust and encourages higher participation. Furthermore, the ABCD approach successfully utilizes local assets such as youth involvement and social solidarity, leading to strengthened community engagement and the emergence of local leadership. Despite these improvements, some residents still show inconsistent participation, indicating the need for continuous efforts to sustain the program. This study highlights the importance of integrating awareness-building and transparent management to achieve sustainable community participation.

This study investigates the impact of Transglobal Leadership Intelligence (TGLI) on Sustainable Tourism Competitiveness, focusing on its influence through three mediating variables: Innovative Work Behavior (IWB), Work Engagement (WE), and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB). Conducted in Pamekasan, this research aims to explore how TGLI can enhance the competitiveness of sustainable tourism by fostering innovation, employee engagement, and organizational citizenship within small and medium-sized tourism enterprises (SMEs). A quantitative approach, employing surveys from 190 tourism SME managers in Pamekasan, was used to gather data, which was analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study examines the relationships between TGLI and the targeted outcomes to provide a deeper understanding of the mechanisms driving sustainable tourism competitiveness in the context of globalization and organizational innovation. The results indicate that while TGLI positively influences IWB and OCB, it does not significantly affect Sustainable Tourism Competitiveness. Moreover, IWB, WE, and OCB did not show significant direct effects on tourism competitiveness, suggesting that external factors like government policies and resource management play a more dominant role. This research offers valuable insights for tourism SMEs and policymakers, emphasizing the importance of global leadership capabilities and internal organizational dynamics in enhancing sustainable tourism.

Bureaucracy plays a crucial role in the management of public administration and government services in Indonesia. However, various bureaucratic reform initiatives implemented by the government still face significant obstacles, particularly those related to bureaucratic mindset, organizational culture, and the work ethic of civil servants. This research aims to examine the challenges faced in changing bureaucratic mindsets and evaluate their impact on the implementation of bureaucratic reforms in Indonesia. The method used in this research is a literature review, examining various books, scientific articles, and previous studies related to bureaucracy, public administration, public services, and bureaucratic reform. The findings of this study indicate that the bureaucratic mindset in Indonesia is still influenced by a hierarchical, formal, structured culture that prioritizes power. This situation negatively impacts the quality of public services, innovation within the bureaucracy, policy effectiveness, and the level of public trust in government institutions. In addition, the resistance to change, lack of transformational leadership, and low adaptability to digitalization are the main obstacles in the efforts to reform the bureaucracy. This research concludes that bureaucratic reform requires not only changes in the structure and administrative system but also a transformation in organizational culture, leadership style, and mindset of the apparatus to create a professional, adaptable, transparent bureaucracy that focuses on public service.

The rapid development of digital media, particularly YouTube, has encouraged personal branding practices among content creators in the gaming sector. This study analyzes how Tobias Justin constructs his personal branding through the Jess No Limit YouTube channel using Montoya's (2002) eight-component personal branding theory, namely specialization, leadership, personality, distinctiveness, visibility, unity, persistence, and goodwill. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach with a case study design, data were collected through online observation of 15 videos published between 2023 and 2025, digital documentation, and digital footprint analysis. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's (1994) interactive model. Findings reveal that Tobias Justin's personal branding is built through consistent specialization in Mobile Legends gameplay, an authentic and humble personal narrative, a relaxed yet persuasive communication style, and sustained positive audience engagement. Audiences actively reinforce his image as a professional, inspiring figure, demonstrating that personal branding is a dialectical process involving creator presentation and collective audience validation. This study concludes that effective digital creator branding is shaped by value consistency, technical competence, and strategic audience relationship management, not mere popularity. Comparative research across gaming creators or platforms is recommended to extend generalizability.

Islamic Education Institutions in Indonesia (LPI) often face double pressures: implementing prophetic values amidst modernization and digitalization. This article uses narrative review with thematic synthesis approach, screening from 212 artcles into 14 scientific articles indexed by Sinta1-3 and Scopus during 2019-2026 period. The selected articles discuss leadership development strategies in Islamic boarding schools, madrasas, and private Islamic schools in Indonesia. Prisma protocol was used in seleecting and reviewing the articles. There are 5 themes taken from the thematic analysis: 1) prophetic and transformational synergy as the foundation; 2) social capital as a leadership infrastructure; 3) the paradox of integrating technology and Islamic tradition; 4) hidden structural bariers in leadership implementation; and 5) directions towards an integratif leadership model. The five themes propose an Adaptive Islamic Leadership Model (Manajemen Kepemipinan Islam Adaptif / MKIA) with its three pilars: the SATF+Shura prophetic values, managerial-transfromational competencies, and social capital-based contextual responsivemness. This contribution shares a rarely discussed topic of the integration of the Islamic educational management theory using separate theoretical lenses and identifying theoretical propositions as well as the structural bariers.

This study investigates the role of motivation and leadership in shaping employee performance, drawing on synthesized findings from prior scholarly research. A qualitative approach employing systematic literature review was adopted. Source materials were gathered from credible academic repositories including national and international journals covering topics of motivation, leadership, and workforce performance. Data were gathered through identification, screening, and critical appraisal of relevant literature, followed by content analysis to surface recurring patterns and relationships. Findings confirm that motivation both intrinsic and extrinsic consistently strengthens employees' work ethic, productivity, and organizational commitment. Effective leadership, meanwhile, fosters a conducive work climate, supplies clear direction, and cultivates employee engagement toward organizational objectives. The two variables function as mutually reinforcing drivers: strong leadership amplifies motivational forces, while a highly motivated workforce is more responsive to quality leadership. Together, they serve as pivotal pillars for sustained performance improvement. This study contributes a comprehensive synthesis of existing evidence that may guide organizations in crafting more effective human resource management strategies.

In the increasingly competitive manufacturing industry, the effectiveness of Management Control Systems (MCS) is heavily influenced by human factors, particularly leadership style. This study aims to analyze the impact of leadership style on the effectiveness of MCS from the employees' perspective. The research uses a qualitative descriptive approach with in-depth interviews conducted on employees of a manufacturing company in Surabaya. The results indicate that the applied leadership style tends to be directive yet supportive, combining firmness in rule enforcement with humane interpersonal relationships. However, the reward system is found to be inconsistent and less structured, emphasizing more on disciplinary control rather than positive reinforcement. The study concludes that leadership style has a significant effect on employee compliance and perception of control systems. Effective leadership creates goal congruence and transforms rules from being perceived as a burden into operational support. Conversely, inconsistency and lack of flexibility become obstacles to optimal control. These findings highlight the importance of adaptive communication and consistency in leadership to enhance MCS effectiveness.

Digital transformation has driven organizations to adopt the metaverse as a 3D virtual workspace that enables employee interaction through avatars, thereby introducing new challenges in managing organizational identity, work culture, and employee loyalty. This study aims to analyze the role of human resource leadership in establishing organizational identity, transforming work culture, and sustaining employee loyalty within a metaverse-based work environment. The study employs an integrative literature review approach by systematically collecting and synthesizing relevant scholarly sources from reputable publications within the last five years. The findings indicate that organizational identity in the metaverse is constructed through avatar representation and virtual environment design, while work culture undergoes a transformation toward flexible digital interaction patterns that still require reinforcement of organizational values. Furthermore, employee loyalty is influenced by the quality of virtual experiences and the effectiveness of leadership communication. In this context, digital-based HR leadership emerges as a critical factor in fostering employee engagement and trust in a non-physical interaction setting. This study contributes conceptually by integrating leadership, identity, culture, and loyalty within the metaverse framework, and provides practical implications for organizations in designing adaptive human resource management strategies in response to the advancement of immersive technologies.
