The Indonesian Civil Servants Cooperative (KPRI) plays an important role in enhancing member welfare and supporting the national economy. Nevertheless, increases in business volume and own capital do not necessarily translate into higher profitability, while the number of members an essential characteristic of cooperatives is also assumed to influence financial performance. This study aims to examine the effect of business volume and own capital on cooperative profitability, with the number of members acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed using secondary data derived from the financial statements of KPRI in Bogor City during the 2020–2024 period. Purposive sampling was applied, resulting in 12 cooperatives with a total of 60 observations. Panel data regression analysis was conducted using EViews software, and mediation effects were tested using the Sobel test. The results indicate that business volume has a positive and significant effect on cooperative profitability, whereas own capital does not show a significant influence. The number of members has a negative and significant effect on profitability. Furthermore, the Sobel test confirms that the number of members does not mediate the relationship between business volume or own capital and cooperative profitability. These findings suggest that enhancing business activities and improving the quality of member participation are more critical for increasing cooperative profitability than merely expanding capital or membership size.

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.

This study aims to analyze the effect of Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) disclosure on market reaction and firm value in the banking sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2023 period. The research sample was determined using purposive sampling, comprising 8 companies with observations over 5 years, resulting in a total of 40 annual reports. Data were collected through documentation of annual reports and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that governance disclosure, risk disclosure, and compliance disclosure simultaneously have a significant positive effect on market reaction, suggesting that higher levels of GRC disclosure can enhance positive investor responses. Meanwhile, only governance disclosure and risk disclosure have a significant positive effect on firm value, whereas compliance disclosure does not show a significant impact. These findings align with positive accounting theory, which states that managers strategically use information disclosure to influence investor perceptions, increase market confidence, and drive firm value growth. This study provides important implications for company management to improve the quality of GRC disclosure as a market communication strategy and for investors in assessing the performance and growth potential of firms.

This study analyzes the stage identity practices of the dangdut music group Sri Mules as a  cultural branding strategy in Pantura dangdut performances. In contrast to common dangdut performance patterns that position the singer as the primary visual focus, Sri Mules adopts a performative approach that foregrounds accompanying musicians as the main visual actors through the use of unconventional costumes and collective stage actions. Employing a qualitative approach with a case study strategy, this research draws on visual documentation of performances circulated on social media during the group’s active phase (2020–2021), complemented by semi-structured interviews and reflective observations. Data were analyzed using the interactive model proposed by Miles and Huberman, informed by performance theory (Schechner) and the concept of cultural branding (Holt). The findings indicate that Sri Mules’ stage identity is constructed and reproduced through consistent visual deviation and collective performativity, functioning as a strategy of symbolic differentiation in the Pantura dangdut performance landscape. This study highlights the role of accompanying musicians as active agents in shaping the visual identity of dangdut performances.

The implementation of e-government in government administration can make services more efficient, transparent, and reliable, as well as provide faster service to the public. The Sidoarjo Regency Population and Civil Registration Office launched the PLAVON website as a digital service. This study aims to describe the strategy for improving digital service quality from a public value perspective, focusing on the PLAVON website of the Sidoarjo Regency Population and Civil Registration Office. This research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings indicate that the quality of PLAVON’s digital services can be analyzed through three dimensions of public value: improved public service, improved administration, and improved social value. In the improved public service dimension, PLAVON enhances the ease and speed of population administration services; however, these improvements are still constrained by technical system disruptions and unstable website performance. In terms of improved administration, the implementation of digital services through PLAVON contributes to greater transparency and improved employee professionalism. Meanwhile, within the improved social value dimension, PLAVON plays a role in strengthening public trust in government institutions. This study emphasizes that the improvement of digital service quality is not solely dependent on technical factors but also on the government’s capacity to generate tangible and sustainable public value for the community.

This study investigates the determinants of dividend payout policy in energy sector firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2020–2024 period. Dividend policy is a critical issue in emerging markets, especially in capital-intensive industries with high investment needs and earnings volatility. The research examines whether profitability and ownership structure—specifically institutional and managerial ownership—significantly influence dividend payout decisions, considering firm characteristics. The study analyzes the effect of profitability, institutional ownership, and managerial ownership on the dividend payout ratio, while controlling for firm size and leverage. A quantitative approach is used, employing pooled ordinary least squares (OLS) regression on 245 firm-year observations. Dividend payout ratio is measured as dividend per share divided by earnings per share, profitability is proxied by return on equity, and ownership variables are expressed as shareholding proportions. Descriptive analysis and classical assumption tests precede hypothesis testing. The results show that profitability positively and significantly affects dividend payout, suggesting that firms with better financial performance tend to distribute higher dividends. Firm size also positively influences dividend policy, while leverage negatively impacts it, reflecting the role of financial capacity and capital structure. However, institutional and managerial ownership do not show significant effects on dividend payout decisions. The findings indicate that dividend policy in Indonesian energy firms is primarily driven by financial performance and structural characteristics rather than ownership-based governance mechanisms. This study offers sector-specific evidence that refines agency and signaling perspectives on dividend policy in emerging markets, with practical implications for managers, investors, and regulators.

Work motivation is one of the important factors influencing time management and nurses’ performance in providing nursing care. Good time management enables nurses to complete tasks in a timely, efficient, and effective manner. This study was conducted to determine the relationship between work motivation and time management among staff nurses at ML Hospital in 2025. This research used a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. A total of 40 staff nurses were selected using a total sampling technique. The instruments used were questionnaires on work motivation and time management. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Rank statistical test with a significance level of < 0.05. The results showed that most respondents had good work motivation (62.5%), while the majority demonstrated a moderate level of time management (75%). The Spearman Rank test yielded a p-value of 0.005, indicating a significant relationship between work motivation and time management among staff nurses. In conclusion, there is a significant relationship between nurses’ work motivation and time management, in which higher work motivation is associated with better time management. It is recommended that hospitals enhance nurses’ motivation through managerial support and a positive work environment.

The aesthetics of Palace style puppet performances embody local wisdom and ancestral traditions that were later standardized into formal rules. Purbo Asmoro incorporates these elements of the Palace style into the shadow puppet performance of the play Irawan Rabi. The central problem addressed is: how is the aesthetic concept of cucut implemented in Purbo Asmoro's presentation of the Palace style shadow puppet play Irawan Rabi? This issue is analyzed using the aesthetic concepts proposed by Sunardi, supplemented by those of M.Ng. Najawirangka. The data collection methods included literature reviews and interviews; to ensure higher data accuracy, the play was also transcribed through the observation of audio visual recordings. The results of this study indicate that the implementation of the cucut aesthetic concept is evident in Purbo Asmoro's success in constructing scenes that evoke a humorous impression. This is observable in the ginem of the Dwarawati State audience scene; the ginem of the perang ampyak; the sabet of the perang gagal scene; the ginem of the Yasarata Hermitage scene; the sabet of the perang kembang scene; the ginem of the Kaputren Dwarawati State scene; the ginem of Dwarawati Palace scene; and the ginem of rabine Irawan scene.

This study examines the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) ratings on firm performance and the moderating role of ESG rating disagreement within the Indonesian capital market. Using a panel dataset of 63 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2021 to 2023 and employing a fixed-effects regression model, the analysis measures firm performance with Tobin’s Q, ESG ratings from Refinitiv Eikon, and ESG rating disagreement as the standard deviation between Refinitiv and Bloomberg scores. The empirical results indicate that ESG ratings do not have a statis-tically significant effect on firm performance, and ESG rating disagreement does not significantly moderate this relationship. These findings suggest that ESG-related information has not yet been fully internalized into firm valuation in Indonesia, with current ESG practices perceived as largely symbolic rather than substantively integrated into corporate strategy. The study concludes that both ESG ratings and rating disagreement fail to serve as effective mechanisms for enhancing firm performance in the Indonesian context, reflecting the early-stage development and compliance-driven nature of ESG adoption in emerging markets.

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.

Service quality is a crucial factor in improving public trust and satisfaction toward village economic institutions, including village cooperatives. The Merah Putih Village Cooperative in Mulya Sari Village still faces several service-related challenges, such as limited understanding of service excellence principles among employees, unstandardized service procedures, and inadequate communication and administrative skills. This study aims to improve employee service quality through service excellence training to enhance professionalism and service effectiveness at the cooperative. The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach involving observation, interviews, training sessions, service simulations, and direct field assistance. The training focused on service excellence concepts, service ethics, effective communication, implementation of standard operating procedures (SOPs), and administrative management. The results indicate an improvement in employees’ understanding and behavior, reflected in more polite, responsive, and professional service delivery to cooperative members. In addition, administrative management became more organized, contributing to faster and more efficient services. This activity demonstrates that service quality training has a positive impact on improving cooperative service performance. The implications of this study suggest that continuous service training can foster a sustainable service-oriented culture and enhance member satisfaction, thereby strengthening the institutional capacity of village cooperatives

Leadership training has become a key instrument in public sector reform, driven by expectations that public managers act as strategic leaders to improve organizational performance and public service delivery. However, despite substantial investments, public administration research consistently highlights a gap between leadership training participation and tangible service improvements, particularly in resource-constrained local governments. Existing studies often examine leadership training effectiveness, training transfer, organizational change, and administrative capacity separately, resulting in limited integration across these interconnected processes. This fragmentation restricts understanding of how leadership competencies gained through training are transferred into practice, institutionalized through post-training change initiatives (Aksi Perubahan), and translated into sustainable administrative capacity and service outcomes. To address this gap, this integrative literature review synthesizes and critically analyzes peer-reviewed research on public sector leadership training, focusing on training transfer mechanisms, action-based change initiatives, and administrative capacity development in local governments, using the Tambrauw Regency Government as an illustrative context. The review draws on articles indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar published between 2016 and 2025, selected based on public sector relevance and theoretical rigor. Using thematic synthesis and conceptual mapping, the findings show that leadership training contributes to service improvement only when supported by a conducive transfer climate, strong organizational commitment, and structured change projects. These change initiatives mediate the transformation of individual competencies into organizational routines, while administrative capacity determines the sustainability of outcomes. The study contributes to administrative capacity theory and provides practical insights for designing effective leadership training policies in peripheral local government contexts.

Butgeting is an important instrument in managing retail businesses such as Toko Harapan Teknik Boyolali, as it functions as a tool for planning, control, and evaluation of company performance. Budget effectiveness is influenced by both internal and external factors of the organization. This study aims to analyze the effect of company performance and environmental uncertainty on budget effectiveness at Toko Harapan Teknik Boyolali. This research employs a qualitative approach using a library research method by reviewing and synthesizing information from various sources, including books, scientific journals, and previous studies. The results indicate that company performance has a positive effect on budget effectiveness, as good performance supports more realistic and accurate budget preparation. In addition, environmental uncertainty, such as changes in market conditions, business competition, demand fluctuations, and economic dynamics, can hinder budget effectiviness. Simultaneously company performance and environmental uncertainty influence the success of budgeting. Therefore, companies need to improve performance and implement flexible and adaptive budgeting systems to address environmental uncertainty.

This study aims to analyze cash budget management at the Kuda Kepang Mas Bagong MSME located in Wates Hamlet, Cepogo Village, Boyolali Regency. This MSME focuses on traditional kuda kepang crafts that have economic and cultural value as a support for local performing arts. The method applied is a descriptive qualitative method with data collection techniques through observation and direct interviews with the business owner. The data reviewed includes the production process, production capacity, cost structure, selling price, revenue, and marketing system. The results of the study indicate that the Kuda Kepang Mas Bagong MSME has consistent market demand, especially for medium-sized kuda kepang products. However, production capacity limitations due to the use of one worker are a major obstacle in increasing business turnover. In addition, cash budget management is still carried out in a simple and unorganized manner, so the potential for liquidity control and financial planning has not reached an optimal level. This study concludes that developing a more organized cash budget and increasing production capacity can be a key strategy in improving the financial performance and sustainability of the Kuda Kepang Mas Bagong MSME.

Mental health among Generation Z university students has become an increasingly important issue amid rising academic demands and the rapid development of digital life. Students today face various academic pressures, including competition for achievement, heavy coursework, and performance targets, which may negatively affect their psychological well-being. In addition, advances in digital technology have reshaped students’ daily lives, particularly through intensified information exposure and social comparison. This study aims to examine the influence of academic competition and digital dynamics on the mental health of Generation Z students using a literature review approach. The research employs a descriptive qualitative literature review method by analyzing 20 relevant scholarly articles published in national and international journals between 2018 and 2024. The findings indicate that academic competition is closely associated with increased levels of stress, anxiety, and emotional exhaustion among students. Prolonged academic pressure without adequate psychological support may lead to a decline in students’ psychological well-being. Furthermore, digital life reinforces psychological pressure through mechanisms of social comparison and self-presentation demands. However, several studies also identify protective factors, such as social support, mental health literacy, and emotional regulation skills, which help students manage academic and digital pressures more adaptively. Therefore, the mental health of Generation Z students is shaped by a complex interaction between academic competition and digital life, highlighting the need for comprehensive efforts from both individuals and educational institutions to promote students’ psychological well-being.

The visualization of the decision tree provides clear interpretation of the main attributes influencing purchasing decisions, thereby facilitating understanding for non-technical decision makers. Overall, this study demonstrates that the Decision Tree method is effective in modeling consumer purchasing behavior in e-commerce and can be utilized as a basis for data-driven business decision making, particularly in marketing strategies and improving sales conversion rates.

The digital transformation of public service delivery has become a central agenda in contemporary public administration, positioning local governments as critical actors in translating national digital strategies into tangible, citizen-facing outcomes. Despite rapid diffusion of digital platforms and e-government initiatives, substantial variation persists in the performance, inclusiveness, and sustainability of digital public services across local contexts. This variation points to persistent challenges related to administrative capacity constraints within local governments and uneven levels of citizen readiness to access and use digital services. Addressing these challenges, this article presents a comprehensive literature review that aims to (1) map the conceptual evolution of digital public service delivery in local governments, (2) synthesize empirical findings on the roles of administrative capacity and citizen readiness, and (3) identify key theoretical and empirical gaps in the existing scholarship. Methodologically, the study adopts a systematic literature review approach, drawing on peer-reviewed journal articles published in the last five years and indexed in major academic databases, including Scopus, Web of Science, DOAJ, and Google Scholar. The selected literature is analyzed using thematic synthesis, guided by an integrated theoretical framework combining Digital Government Theory and Digital Era Governance as overarching transformation lenses, Administrative Capacity and Capacity Building Theory and Competency-Based Human Resource Management to explain organizational and human resource determinants, Digital Divide Theory and the Technology Acceptance Model to capture citizen-side readiness and adoption dynamics, and Policy Implementation Theory to account for institutional and regulatory mediation. The synthesis reveals several dominant patterns: digital service performance is strongly conditioned by leadership, coordination, information capacity, and workforce competencies; citizen uptake is shaped not only by access and skills but also by perceived usefulness, ease of use, and trust; and policy design and implementation processes mediate the interaction between supply-side capacity and demand-side readiness. Importantly, the review shows that these factors are mutually constitutive rather than independent, challenging linear and technology-centric models of digital transformation. The article concludes by advancing an integrative conceptual understanding of local digital public service delivery and by outlining theoretical implications for digital public administration research as well as practical policy recommendations for designing inclusive, capacity-sensitive, and sustainable digital public services at the local level.
