The Role of Leadership in the Implementation of Employee Performance Supervision at the Manpower and Transmigration Office at the Regional Manpower Supervisory Agency (UPTD) for Regional Manpower Supervisory Agency (Balai Wasnaker) 1. This study aims to determine the role of leadership in the implementation of employee performance supervision. Effective leadership is an important factor in ensuring that employees perform their duties and responsibilities in accordance with organizational goals and established regulations. The research method used was descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Informants were selected based on their involvement in supervision activities and understanding of employee performance management. The results indicate that leadership plays a significant role through direction, coaching, monitoring, and evaluation of employee performance. Employee performance is generally quite good, but supervision has not been optimal due to limited time, diverse tasks, and inconsistent evaluation follow-up. In addition, communication and coordination between leaders and employees influence the effectiveness of supervision. Therefore, the implementation of leadership-supported supervision has a positive impact on employee discipline, responsibility, and work effectiveness, but there is still a need for improvement in the consistency of employee supervision and coaching to achieve optimal organizational performance.

This study aims to analyze the financial management practices of the Es Degan Bu Ulfa MSME and their compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through interviews and observations, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively.   This study aims to analyze the financial management practices of the Es Degan Bu Ulfa MSME and their compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). The study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were obtained through interviews and observations, then analyzed descriptively and qualitatively. The results indicate that financial management is still carried out simply and does not yet implement written records. Business income and expenses still rely on memory, even though business owners perform daily profit and loss calculations and separate personal and business finances. The main obstacles faced include limited human resources and a low understanding of financial record keeping and the SAK EMKM. Based on the analysis, financial management practices are not fully compliant with SAK EMKM standards. Therefore, the implementation of simple financial record keeping is necessary to structure business financial information and support business decision-making. Proper financial management can help improve business performance, monitor cash flow, evaluate profitability, and enhance accountability. Furthermore, the application of SAK EMKM is expected to facilitate access to financing and strengthen the sustainability and competitiveness of MSMEs in an increasingly competitive business environment.

TPS 3R is a community-based waste management approach aimed at reducing waste generation through reduce, reuse, and recycle activities. However, the operational sustainability of TPS 3R still faces several challenges,including  waste processing effectiveness, and community participation. This study aims to analyze the community’s Willingness to Pay (WTP) for waste management fees and to formulate priority recommendations for improving the performance of TPS 3R Banjar Sugihan using the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method. The research was conducted in Banjar Sugihan Village, Tandes District, Surabaya City, involving 563 household respondents. WTP analysis was carried out using the bidding game method, while QFD analysis was conducted through the preparation of the House of Quality (HoQ). The results showed that the community’s WTP ranged from IDR 16,000 to IDR 19,000 per month. If applied to all 3,758 households in Banjar Sugihan Village, the potential retribution revenue is estimated to reach IDR 60,128,000–IDR 71,402,000 per month. The QFD analysis indicated that the priority strategies for improving TPS 3R performance include enhancing infrastructure facilities, optimizing waste sorting and processing, increasing waste processing capacity, strengthening human resource capacity, and implementing a WTP-based retribution system. Therefore, the implementation of a WTP-based retribution system and priority strategies derived from QFD analysis are expected to support the sustainability of waste management at TPS 3R Banjar Sugihan.

In the Education 4.0 era, schools face unprecedented challenges in managing teacher performance effectively. Traditional top-down performance management systems have proven inadequate for fostering continuous professional growth, intrinsic motivation, and adaptive teaching competencies required in increasingly technology-driven learning environments. This study aims to develop, validate, and assess the effectiveness of a School-Based Performance Management (SBPM) model designed to enhance teacher effectiveness across cognitive, affective, and pedagogical dimensions. Using a Research and Development (R&D) design following the ADDIE framework, the study was conducted in three phases: needs analysis, model development, and model validation. Participants included 12 school principals, 186 teachers, and 8 education experts from 24 public secondary schools in [Province, Country]. Validation by experts yielded a content validity index (CVI) of 0.91. Implementation resulted in statistically significant improvements in teacher effectiveness scores (t = 8.74, p < 0.001, Cohen's d = 1.23), digital pedagogy competency (mean increase = 22.4%), and student learning outcomes (mean improvement = 17.8%). The SBPM model provides a contextually responsive, evidence-based framework that empowers schools to manage teacher performance collaboratively, fostering professional accountability and sustainable instructional quality in Education 4.0.

Construction project control requires careful planning to avoid delays and cost overruns. This study aims to evaluate the performance of the CBT Laboratory Building construction project at the Faculty of Medicine, Wahid Hasyim University, Semarang, in terms of cost and time using the Earned Value Analysis (EVA) method, and to analyze acceleration alternatives using the crashing method. The method used is a quantitative approach with a case study, based on project data such as the Budget Plan (RAB), S-curve, and work progress reports. The analysis was carried out using the Earned Value Analysis (EVA) method to assess project performance in terms of cost and time through indicators such as CV, SV, CPI, and SPI. Furthermore, an acceleration analysis was conducted using the crashing method to determine the optimal alternative for overcoming project delays by considering time and cost efficiency. The results of the Earned Value Analysis indicate that the project experienced delays and cost overruns, as shown by SPI < 1 and CPI < 1. The estimated project completion time increased to 227 days, longer than the initial plan of 217 days, while the estimated final cost reached RP 5,451,241,064.85, exceeding the initial budget. Acceleration efforts using the crashing method show that adding adding labor is more efficient than working hours (overtime), resulting in a project duration of 212 days with lower costs of RP 5,658,221,364.08. Thus, the Earned Value Analysis method is effective for evaluating project performance, while crashing can be a solution for acceleration by considering time and cost efficiency.

The advancement of information technology has driven higher education institutions to manage their digital presence professionally, particularly through quality website management as a representation of institutional identity. Preliminary observations of the Universitas Graha Karya (UGK) website (ugk.ac.id) identified several issues, including inconsistent page layouts, inactive hyperlinks, and irregularly updated content. This study aims to analyze the quality of the UGK website based on three WebQual 4.0 dimensions—usability, information quality, and service interaction quality—and to determine improvement priorities using Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to 308 active students selected via purposive sampling using the Slovin formula at a 5% margin of error. Data analysis included validity testing, reliability testing, WebQual 4.0 analysis, gap analysis, and IPA Cartesian diagram mapping. Results indicate negative grand mean gap values across all dimensions, with service interaction quality recording the largest gap (-0.16), followed by information quality and usability (both -0.01). IPA mapping identified five indicators in Quadrant I as the main improvement priorities: ease of menu navigation (U2), relevance of academic information (IQ2), clarity of information language (IQ4), website access security (SI1), and ease of contacting administrators (SI4). The study concludes that UGK's website quality has not fully met user expectations and requires structured, user-oriented improvements.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability and liquidity on firm value in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2025 period. The study was motivated by inconsistencies in previous research results regarding the influence of profitability and liquidity on firm value. Profitability was measured using Return on Assets (ROA), liquidity was measured using Current Ratio (CR), while firm value was measured using Price to Book Value (PBV). This research employed a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from company financial statements. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a total sample of 9 manufacturing companies during the research period. The data analysis methods included descriptive statistical analysis, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression analysis, coefficient of determination test (R²), partial test (t-test), and simultaneous test (F-test) using SPSS software. The results showed that company profitability tended to be stable although several companies experienced performance fluctuations, while liquidity levels showed considerable variation among companies. Based on the partial test results, profitability (ROA) did not have a significant effect on firm value with a significance value of 0.765 (>0.05), while liquidity (CR) had a significant negative effect on firm value with a significance value of 0.011 (<0.05). Simultaneously, profitability and liquidity had a significant effect on firm value with an F-test significance value of 0.020 (<0.05). The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.169 indicates that profitability and liquidity were able to explain 16.9% of the variation in firm value, while the remaining 83.1% was influenced by other factors outside the study. This research is expected to contribute to the development of financial management knowledge and serve as a consideration for investors and companies in decision-making.

Poor soil quality and inefficient nutrient utilization remain major constraints in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.) cultivation, often resulting in reduced plant growth, lower productivity, and suboptimal fruit quality. This study aims to evaluate the growth performance of rose tomatoes through the integration of open-field cultivation and hydroponic planting systems. The research methods included land preparation using the Pythagorean technique to ensure proper spacing and planting layout, the application of organic fertilizers to improve soil fertility, and the transition to a hydroponic drip irrigation system using rockwool as the growing medium during weeks 1 to 7 of plant development. Plant growth parameters, including plant height, leaf development, stem vigor, and overall plant health, were observed throughout the cultivation period. The results indicated that the combination of appropriate soil management practices and precise nutrient delivery in the hydroponic system significantly enhanced nutrient uptake and supported healthy plant growth. Furthermore, the drip irrigation system helped optimize water use efficiency while reducing nutrient losses. This integrated cultivation approach demonstrated its potential as an effective solution for maintaining crop quality and productivity, particularly in areas with limited land resources. Overall, the findings suggest that integrated management practices can provide a practical, efficient, and sustainable strategy for farmers seeking to improve horticultural production in modern agricultural systems.

The consistent decline in cucumber production in Indonesia indicates limitations in conventional cultivation systems, particularly due to land scarcity and inefficient resource management. This condition has encouraged the development of hydroponic systems as a more controlled and productive cultivation alternative. This study aims to critically analyze the key factors determining the success of hydroponic cucumber cultivation and to identify the most influential management aspects in improving yield. The method employed is a literature review, examining various recent studies related to hydroponic systems, nutrient management, growing media, and environmental factors. The results show that the advantages of hydroponics lie not only in land and water efficiency but also in the ability to precisely control growth variables. However, optimal productivity highly depends on the proper integration of nutrient management, particularly the regulation of pH, electrical conductivity (EC), and nutrient balance, as well as the control of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, and light intensity. Inaccuracy in a single component can significantly reduce plant performance, even when other factors are optimal. Therefore, an integrated approach combining nutrient and environmental management simultaneously is essential to enhance hydroponic cucumber productivity. This study confirms that hydroponics has strong potential as a strategic solution to support sustainable agriculture amid land limitations in Indonesia.

 Education in vocational high schools (SMKs) requires effective data management to improve students’ academic achievement and discipline. At SMK Islam Secang, students’ academic scores and attendance data have so far functioned merely as administrative archives, making it difficult to identify patterns of student performance. This study aims to classify students based on academic achievement and discipline by applying the K-Means Clustering algorithm using RapidMiner. The data used in this study consist of scores from six subjects and attendance records of 35 students from the Light Vehicle Engineering (TKR) department over two semesters. The data were obtained from original school records, compiled using Microsoft Excel, and processed in RapidMiner. The clustering process employed four clusters for academic achievement and two clusters for discipline, with Euclidean Distance used as the similarity measure. The results show that in the first semester, students were grouped into four academic achievement clusters: high achievement (6 students), moderate achievement (7 students), potentially problematic (14 students), and problematic (8 students). In the second semester, the distribution changed to high achievement (19 students), moderate achievement (14 students), potentially problematic (4 students), and problematic (1 student). Meanwhile, student discipline was divided into two clusters: disciplined (31 students) and undisciplined (4 students). These results demonstrate that K-Means Clustering is effective in mapping student conditions, revealing patterns in academic performance and attendance, and supporting educational evaluation, learning planning, and early detection of students who require academic or disciplinary intervention. Keywords: Data Mining, K-Means Clustering, Academic Achievement, Discipline, RapidMiner, Vocational High School (SMK)

The digital transformation of Indonesia's political landscape has created space for the emergence of a new populist narrative based on vertical social mobility. This study aims to analyze the construction of the "Anak Kampung" identity used by Bahlil Lahadalia as an instrument of political branding on social media. Using netnography and a four-level Cyber ​​Media Analysis (AMS) tool, this study explores how past marginalized experiences—such as being a cake seller, a conductor, and a public transportation driver—are reconstructed into symbolic capital in the digital space. The results show that Bahlil carried out effective "impression management" through visual performativity and narratives of struggle, which succeeded in building affective loyalty among constituents across generations. However, this branding also faces challenges in the form of digital skepticism regarding academic integrity and controversial public policies. This study concludes that the success of political branding in the digital era depends heavily on actors' ability to navigate the logic of platform algorithms while maintaining a sense of authenticity.

Accountability in preparing financial reports is a crucial instrument for the sustainability of business entities, because inaccurate financial data management can hinder decision-making and harm business performance in the future. For MSME actors in the PKK Tanggamus community, strengthening financial reporting competence is an urgent need so they can map expenditure structures, record income, calculate profit, and evaluate business development periodically. This community service activity aims to improve participants’ financial discipline, particularly in separating personal assets, business capital, and gross profit, while introducing accessible office technology. The training focused on optimizing LibreOffice Calc as an alternative to Microsoft Excel with similar functions for creating transaction tables, cost recapitulations, and simple financial reports. The activity method included material presentation, software demonstrations, report preparation practice, and interactive discussions based on participants’ business needs. Training results showed high enthusiasm, improved understanding, and readiness to use LibreOffice Calc as a more organized, transparent, and sustainable financial recording tool. Thus, this activity provides practical contributions to building an accountable financial administration culture for community-based MSMEs.

This research explores the relationship between work-life balance, academic stress, and students’ academic performance by examining the mediating role of self-efficacy. The study is based on Social Cognitive Theory, which explains that self-efficacy plays an essential role in influencing individual behavior and achievement. A quantitative explanatory survey method was applied, involving undergraduate and postgraduate students from the Faculty of Economics, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, as research participants. Data collection was conducted using online questionnaires, while the analysis employed the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique. The results demonstrate that work-life balance is positively associated with academic performance, although the relationship is not statistically significant. Meanwhile, academic stress has a negative but insignificant effect on academic performance. The findings also show that work-life balance significantly enhances students’ self-efficacy, whereas academic stress significantly decreases self-efficacy levels. Furthermore, self-efficacy has a significant positive impact on students’ academic performance. However, the mediation test indicates that self-efficacy does not significantly mediate the relationship between work-life balance, academic stress, and academic performance. In general, the study underlines the importance of self-efficacy in supporting academic achievement among students. Therefore, universities are expected to promote programs focused on strengthening self-efficacy, improving stress management, and maintaining a healthy balance between academic responsibilities and personal life to support sustainable academic success.

Manual management of customer receivables in manufacturing companies often leads to inefficiencies, including slow analysis processes, difficulty in monitoring outstanding balances, and limited ability to track payment trends comprehensively. This study designed a Business Intelligence Dashboard using Microsoft Power BI to address these issues at PT. XX Industry, employing a Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) approach consisting of four stages: Planning, Analysis, Design, and Implementation. During the design phase, a data warehouse was built using a star schema model in SQL Server Management Studio, followed by an Extract, Transform, Load (ETL) process to ensure data accuracy and consistency prior to integration into Power BI. Five Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) were established collaboratively with company management through a series of online discussions, comprising Total Invoice, Total Payment, Total Receivables, Payment Rate, and Average Payment Time, all implemented using DAX expressions. The resulting dashboard features monthly trend visualizations, customer-based receivables distribution, and interactive filter capabilities. System testing confirmed that all components functioned correctly, while ETL validation verified consistency between processed and source data. User Acceptance Testing (UAT) conducted by management yielded an average score of 4.7 out of 5, reflecting a very high level of user acceptance. Overall, this dashboard proved effective in improving receivables monitoring efficiency and supporting faster, data-driven decision-making.

The development of social media has driven changes in digital marketing communication strategies, including within educational institutions such as Juara Academy. This study aims to analyze digital marketing communication strategies through Instagram in increasing student enrollment, identify gaps between social media performance and conversion rates, and formulate efforts to optimize these strategies. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach using a case study method. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, and then analyzed using the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, as well as the AIDA framework (attention, interest, desire, action). The results indicate that digital marketing communication strategies have been systematically implemented through the utilization of Instagram features such as feed, story, reels, and live to capture attention, build interest, generate desire, and ultimately encourage enrollment actions. However, a gap was found between high engagement levels and suboptimal enrollment conversions, influenced by technical factors such as inconsistent content posting and a lack of integration across communication stages. Strategic optimization is therefore necessary through strengthening content consistency, enhancing more personalized interactions, and leveraging persuasive approaches based on audience experience. This study provides practical contributions to the management of digital marketing communication as well as theoretical contributions to the development of social media–based marketing communication studies.
