This study aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how psychological well-being (PWB) influences employee performance through a Systematic Literature Review approach. By analyzing a range of relevant and open-access studies, this review synthesizes key findings to identify patterns that explain the relationship between psychological well-being and work outcomes. The analysis reveals that PWB is a crucial internal factor shaping productive, stable, and consistent employee behavior. Individuals with higher levels of psychological well-being tend to demonstrate stronger motivation, higher discipline, and better adaptability when facing pressure or organizational changes. Beyond its direct influence, PWB also acts as a connecting variable between other determinants such as job satisfaction, work-life balance, and organizational support and improved performance. Overall, the review highlights that psychological well-being is not merely a personal condition but a strategic resource that significantly contributes to long term organizational productivity. Therefore, enhancing employee well-being should be integrated into human resource management practices as both a preventive measure and a long term capacity building strategy.

This qualitative literature review examines the dysfunctional costs that emerge within Management Control Systems (MCS), a critical organizational mechanism designed to align employee behavior with strategic objectives. Although prior studies have extensively explored the benefits of control systems, discussions on the unintended and often hidden costs remain fragmented. This article aims to synthesize theoretical insights and conceptual debates surrounding four major categories of dysfunctional costs: behavioral displacement, game-playing, operating delays, and negative attitudes. Using a traditional literature review approach, the study integrates foundational theories including agency theory, behavioral control theory, and goal-setting theory with contemporary conceptual findings to identify key behavioral mechanisms that trigger dysfunctional outcomes. The review reveals that overly rigid controls, inappropriate performance targets, and misaligned incentives frequently prompt short-termism, budget slack, manipulation, bureaucratic delays, and psychological strain among employees. These dysfunctional costs can surpass direct control costs and reduce organizational adaptability and long-term performance. The study highlights the need for context-sensitive control design, balanced use of results and action controls, and enhanced attention to behavioral responses when implementing MCS. The implications underscore that effective control is achieved not through tighter rules alone but through thoughtful alignment between control mechanisms, human behavior, and organizational context.

This study examines the interrelationship between the implementation of administrative ethics in civil service, the professionalism of State Civil Apparatus (ASN), and the quality of public service delivery at the Provincial Department of Energy and Mineral Resources of Central Kalimantan, employing a qualitative case study approach. Through in-depth interviews, structured observations, and document analysis, the research finds that integrity, transparency, and ethical accountability function not merely as moral norms but as structural foundations that reinforce ASN professionalism in performing service functions, particularly within licensing processes that demand administrative certainty and responsiveness. Empirical findings indicate that professionalism—reflected in technical competence, procedural discipline, and ethical commitment—acts as a catalyst linking ethical values to effective and adaptive public service performance. Nevertheless, the study also identifies structural and cultural impediments, including regulatory inconsistencies, fragmented coordination, and limited training opportunities, all of which hinder the internalization of ethical principles and professional practice within the bureaucracy. Theoretically, the study posits that harmonizing administrative ethics and professionalism is a prerequisite for achieving key indicators of good governance, such as responsiveness, service effectiveness, and institutional accountability. Practically, the study recommends strengthening ethics training, enhancing ASN professional capacity, and advancing managerial reforms grounded in modern governance as strategic efforts to sustainably improve public service quality.

This study investigates the impact of intrinsic motivation, workload, and competence on job satisfaction, exploring its implications for employee performance, with job satisfaction serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) for data analysis collected via questionnaires. The results reveal that intrinsic motivation has a positive but insignificant impact on job satisfaction and performance. Workload significantly improves job satisfaction but does not affect performance, while competence significantly enhances both job satisfaction and performance. Additionally, job satisfaction positively affects employee performance. The mediation analysis reveals that job satisfaction mediates the relationship between competence and workload on performance, but does not mediate the relationship between intrinsic motivation and performance. These findings highlight the critical roles of competence and job satisfaction in improving employee performance, suggesting that intrinsic motivation and workload may require additional factors, such as compensation and work environment, to be more effective.

This study discusses the design and development of an automatic safety system for a wood cutting machine using Arduino Uno, a PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, and a servo motor as the main components. The system is designed to automatically stop the movement of the wood cutting machine when human motion is detected around the cutting area, thereby minimizing the risk of work-related accidents. The research method includes hardware design, microcontroller programming, and system response testing using two types of test objects: the human body and a wooden block. The results show that the system operates according to the programmed logic. When the PIR sensor detects human motion, the servo motor stops and the red LED lights up as a danger indicator. In contrast, when no human motion is detected, the servo motor continues to move normally and the green LED remains on as a safe indicator. The system’s average response time is 0.6 seconds, indicating a fast and accurate performance. Therefore, the designed system is considered effective and can serve as a prototype of a simple safety tool to enhance operator safety in wood cutting machines.

Effective collaboration is a strategic imperative for contemporary organizations, yet its success hinges critically on team dynamics and underlying psychological factors like Trust and Psychological Safety. The purpose of this Systematic Literature Review (SLR) was to synthesize empirical research published between 2020 and 2025 to clarify how these psychological factors influence collaboration and team performance. Following the PRISMA guidelines, a rigorous search on Google Scholar using keywords such as "team performance," "psychological factors," and "collaboration" resulted in the final inclusion of 15 articles for in-depth synthesis. Findings confirm that Trust is the most vital psychological construct, acting as a crucial mediator: it successfully transmits the positive effects of Transactional Leadership on employee performance and, conversely, mediates the detrimental effect of Toxic Leadership leading to Employee Silence. Leadership Soft Skills and Emotional Intelligence are identified as primary antecedents that build perceived trustworthiness, which, in turn, significantly reduces Turnover Intention. The review also highlights emerging contexts: trust is now influenced by Agent-Related Factors in Human-AI Teams (HATs), and unconventional factors like Corporate Comedy are found to positively contribute to Group Cohesion. However, contradictory findings regarding trust's role in Knowledge Sharing suggest a significant research gap. This SLR concludes that building psychological capital is fundamental to effective collaboration and recommends that future research utilize Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to validate conceptual frameworks and employ mixed-methods approaches to resolve contextual conflicts within the literature.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) on the financial performance of mining companies listed in the Jakarta Islamic Index (JII70) for the 2020–2024 period, with the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) as a control variable. The findings show that, partially, the Environmental variable has a positive but insignificant effect on ROA, indicating that efforts in energy efficiency, waste management, and emission reduction have not yet been fully reflected in short-term profitability. In contrast, the Social variable has a significant effect on ROA, emphasizing that companies’ engagement in building stakeholder relationships, protecting employee rights, and implementing social responsibility programs contribute substantially to financial performance. The Governance variable also has a significant effect on ROA, highlighting the importance of good governance practices, transparency, and accountability in enhancing profitability. Meanwhile, the control variable DER shows no significant effect on ROA. Simultaneously, ESG performance has a significant effect on ROA, proving that integrated ESG implementation supports the profitability of mining companies. These findings confirm that ESG is not only a compliance measure with sustainability principles but also a long-term business strategy that strengthens companies’ competitiveness and serves as a crucial consideration for investors in making investment decisions.

The company must be able to make the right policies so that the company can maintain its survival, so that the company can compete with competing companies and gain the trust of consumers. One of the important factors in achieving goals is HR (Human Resources) which has a very important role in determining the success of a company. This research aims to analyze the effect of work-life balance on job satisfaction and employee performance. This type of research uses quantitative research with a questionnaire instrument. The results of descriptive analysis show that all indicators of work-life balance, job satisfaction, and employee performance are in the “Good Enough” category, indicating that respondents' perceptions of work-life balance, job satisfaction, and employee performance still need to be improved. Validity and reliability tests show that the instruments used are valid and reliable. The results of structural model testing show that work-life balance has a significant and strong effect on employee performance (O=0.822; p<0.001) and job satisfaction (O=0.677; p<0.001), while job satisfaction also affects performance (O=0.367; p=0.006). In addition to the direct effect, there is also a significant indirect effect of work-life balance on performance through job satisfaction (O=0.249; p=0.011). Work-life balance improves employee performance, both directly and through increased job satisfaction, so companies are advised to create policies that support work-life balance in order to create a productive and sustainable work environment.

The study aims to improve the passion fruit syrup production system at Harisma Home Industry, which has been hindered by an inefficient facility layout and complicated raw material flow. These issues lead to longer processing time, higher operator workload, and reduced production capacity. To solve this, the research uses the Activity Relationship Chart (ARC) and Total Closeness Rating (TCR) to evaluate and redesign the layout. TCR results show that the Raw Material Warehouse has the highest priority with a score of 119, requiring an Absolutely Important (A) relationship with the Production Room. The Parking Area and Waiting Room also fall into the Absolutely Important category, as they support smooth movements of materials and visitors. Meanwhile, the Toilet has a Very Important (E) relationship with the Waiting Room due to comfort and accessibility needs. Based on these proximity requirements, a new layout was designed by placing the Raw Material Warehouse next to the Production Room to create a faster and more efficient material flow. Other facilities were rearranged to minimize unnecessary movement. This new layout is expected to streamline processes, reduce congestion, and enhance overall capacity and operational performance.

This study examines the influence of good governance principles on village fund utilization effectiveness in Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), we analyze data from 385 village officials across five provinces in Indonesia. The research integrates stewardship theory and agency theory to explain how transparency, accountability, participation, and rule of law affect village fund management performance. Results demonstrate that transparency (β=0.342, p<0.01) and accountability (β=0.287, p<0.01) significantly enhance village fund utilization effectiveness, while participation (β=0.219, p<0.05) shows moderate influence. Rule of law (β=0.156, p>0.05) does not significantly affect fund utilization, suggesting implementation challenges. The model explains 68.4% variance in village fund utilization effectiveness (R²=0.684). This study contributes to governance literature by providing empirical evidence from emerging economies and offers practical implications for policymakers to strengthen village-level financial management through enhanced transparency mechanisms and accountability systems. The findings highlight the critical role of good governance in achieving sustainable rural development goals.

Nosocomial infections, such as Surgical Site Infections (SSI), phlebitis, and Urinary Tract Infections (UTI), continue to challenge hospital service quality, including at Dharmais Cancer Hospital. The performance of Infection Prevention and Control Link Nurses (IPCLNs), key in executing the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC) program, remains suboptimal, with delays in reporting, inaccurate surveillance documentation, and weak coordination with the IPCN team. This study aims to analyze the effect of training and work motivation on IPCLN performance, with supervision as a moderating variable that strengthens the relationship. Using a quantitative approach, the study employed multiple linear regression and moderated regression analysis (MRA) on data from 43 IPCLNs selected through total sampling. A structured, valid, and reliable questionnaire was used for data collection. The results showed that training, motivation, and supervision had a significant effect on IPCLN performance. Training and motivation had a positive impact, while supervision not only had a direct effect but also moderated the relationship between training, motivation, and performance. These findings emphasize the importance of structured training, motivation enhancement, and sustainable supervision to improve the IPC program's effectiveness. The practical implication is the need for integrated managerial strategies to strengthen the role of IPCLNs in reducing infection risks and improving hospital service quality.

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Current Ratio (CR), Return on Assets (ROA), and Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) on Company Value in banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2020–2024 period. The research uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from 27 out of 46 banking companies selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using panel data regression with Eviews 10, supported by several classical assumption tests including normality, multicollinearity, and heteroscedasticity tests. Further analyses include multiple linear regression, t-tests, F-tests, and the Adjusted R² to evaluate the overall model fit. The partial test results show that the Current Ratio has a significant positive effect on Company Value, indicating that higher liquidity strengthens market perception of firm performance. Meanwhile, Return on Assets does not show a significant effect, suggesting that profitability alone is not a determining factor for firm valuation in the banking sector during the observed period. The Debt to Equity Ratio demonstrates a significant positive effect, implying that investors consider leverage an important indicator in assessing banking performance. Simultaneously, all three variables significantly influence Company Value. These findings highlight the importance of liquidity and leverage in shaping investor appraisal of banking companies in Indonesia.

The digital era demands that organizations be fast-moving, adaptable, and innovative.

Knowledge Management (KM) plays an important role as a strategic mechanism for identifying, acquiring, storing, sharing, and utilizing knowledge to improve organizational effectiveness and efficiency. In this context, knowledge management becomes one of the important elements for organizations to enhance performance. Knowledge management is not just about collecting data or information, but how organizations can store, share, create, and utilize knowledge to gain a competitive advantage. This article aims to analyze the importance of knowledge management for organizational performance in the digital age, including how the digital era changes the dimensions of knowledge management, how knowledge management contributes to organizational performance, the challenges faced, and their implications. The data obtained for this study were gathered from observations thru interviews with relevant parties and a literature review study by examining the results of empirical research from the past five years (2020–2025). The method used was descriptive literature analysis of 15 scientific articles from accredited national journals. The analysis focuses on the relationship between knowledge management dimensions (knowledge creation, storage, sharing, and application) and organizational performance indicators (financial performance, innovation, productivity, and customer satisfaction). The study results show that the implementation of knowledge management significantly contributes to improving organizational performance, both directly thru increased efficiency and effectiveness of work processes, and indirectly thru strengthening a culture of innovation and organizational learning. This article asserts that an organization's success in the digital age is not solely determined by its ability to adopt technology, but also by its ability to manage and leverage knowledge as a strategic resource. Therefore, knowledge management needs to be systematically integrated into the organization's digital strategy, accompanied by strengthening a learning culture, human resource training, and adaptive information technology systems.
