Public service reform in Indonesia increasingly emphasizes inter-agency collaboration as a mechanism to enhance administrative efficiency, service integration, and responsiveness to citizens’ needs; however, in many regions, including West Kotawaringin Regency, collaborative practices remain fragmented due to uneven human resource (HR) capacities, inconsistencies in standard operating procedures (SOPs), and limited technological integration across institutions. This study aims to examine the current state of HR collaboration, identify key barriers and enabling factors, and propose an integrated and adaptive HR collaboration model to strengthen public service delivery. Using a qualitative multi-case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with leaders and operational staff from multiple regional government agencies and analyzed using NVivo 15 to generate thematic coding and visual tools such as word clouds, hierarchy charts, and project maps. The findings indicate that current collaboration is largely transactional and administrative, exemplified by the physical co-location of agencies at the Public Service Mall (MPP) without effective systemic interoperability. Three critical themes emerged: gaps in HR distribution, competencies, and role clarity; structural and behavioral constraints including sectoral ego, SOP discrepancies, and limited digital integration; and opportunities to enhance collaboration through shared digital dashboards, inter-agency forums, and cross-functional HR mobility. Based on these results, the study proposes a three-pillar Integrated and Adaptive HR Collaboration Model comprising comprehensive digital integration, flexible HR competency sharing, and inclusive service co-creation involving community stakeholders, offering both theoretical contributions to collaborative governance and practical guidance for regional governments seeking to improve public service effectiveness.

The quality of human resources is a fundamental pillar of a country’s development, and education plays a crucial role in shaping this quality. Education not only provides knowledge and skills but also builds attitudes, values, and competencies that enable individuals to contribute effectively to social and economic development. This study aims to examine how education can enhance human growth and improve the overall quality of human resources. The research employs a descriptive quantitative method by distributing questionnaires to thirty members of the general public. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical techniques to identify community perceptions regarding the importance of education in human development. The results show that the majority of respondents strongly believe that education has a significant positive impact on human growth. Education is perceived as an essential tool for improving critical thinking abilities, increasing productivity, and fostering awareness of the importance of active participation in national development processes. Furthermore, respondents indicated that education contributes to the development of discipline, creativity, and adaptability, which are necessary to face global challenges and technological changes. Education also plays an important role in reducing social inequality by providing equal opportunities for individuals to improve their quality of life. Overall, these findings confirm that improving the quality of education should be a top priority in national development strategies. High-quality education is essential to produce competitive, innovative, and superior human resources that can significantly contribute to sustainable national progress.

This study discusses the 17th Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), Partnership for the Goals, which highlights the importance of global collaboration in achieving shared prosperity. The main focus of this research is on three key instruments of global partnership: external debt, foreign investment, and foreign aid. These instruments play a crucial role in supporting development in developing countries, but they also raise controversies related to economic dependence, global power imbalances, and the effectiveness of aid. This study employs a descriptive qualitative approach based on a literature review of international reports and academic research. The analysis shows that although debt, investment, and foreign aid offer opportunities for technology transfer, economic growth, and poverty reduction, their sustainability largely depends on governance, transparency, and equality among nations. Therefore, global partnerships should be directed toward more inclusive and equitable systems to ensure that global development goals can be achieved sustainably.

This community service program aims to develop an empowerment model for Etawa goat milk micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Kepuh Klagen Village, Wringinanom District, Gresik Regency through an Islamic Social Entrepreneurship (ISE) approach. Kepuh Klagen Village has significant economic potential in Etawa goat farming; however, MSME actors face several challenges, including limited halal-thayyib-based production capacity, low literacy in Islamic business management and finance, weak branding and marketing strategies, and the absence of sustainable collaboration among farmers. This program employed a participatory approach through mentoring, training, and capacity building activities. The implementation stages included identifying potentials and problems, providing training on Islamic Social Entrepreneurship values and Islamic business ethics, improving production quality based on halal-thayyib standards, strengthening Islamic financial management practices, and developing digital marketing capabilities. The results indicate an increase in MSME actors’ understanding of Islamic social entrepreneurship, improvements in production hygiene and product quality, and the emergence of collaborative awareness among Etawa goat milk entrepreneurs. The ISE approach proved effective not only in enhancing economic value but also in strengthening social responsibility, spiritual values, and business sustainability. This empowerment model is expected to be replicable for other local commodity-based MSMEs in rural areas.

Physical education in schools is still dominated by the introduction of popular sports, thus limiting students' sports literacy and opportunities for early childhood sports development and development. This condition results in less than optimal development of students' overall potential. This community service activity aims to encourage increased sports literacy, the formation of active lifestyle habits, and the emergence of the embryo of woodball athlete development at the school level. The method used is a library-based community service with data collection techniques through book reviews, scientific journals, research reports, and various relevant literature related to student development, sports development, and the introduction of woodball. The data obtained were analyzed using content analysis techniques to identify patterns, concepts, and relationships between variables. The results of the community service indicate that the introduction of woodball as an alternative sport has significant potential to increase sports literacy, support character development, develop motor skills, and encourage more inclusive and sustainable sports development in the school environment.

The 2025 Pelita Warna Program is a form of participatory-based community service implemented at the Class II Children's Special Development Institution (LPKA) in Jakarta. This activity aims to design and implement relevant development programs for foster children using a contextual, psychosocial, and vocational skills approach. The main problems behind this activity include minimal access to development that suits the children's needs, limited infrastructure, and psychological challenges faced by foster children.

With improvements in these areas, laundry SMEs can enhance their competitiveness and provide better service to customers, thus strengthening their position in a competitive market.

This study aims to examine the impact of green economy initiatives on Indonesia’s GDP growth, with a particular focus on public perceptions of sustainable economic practices. The research employs a descriptive quantitative approach, collecting primary data through an online survey administered to twenty respondents. The survey measured perceptions related to sustainable innovation, environmentally friendly resource management, and energy efficiency as key components of green economy implementation. The findings indicate that respondents hold a generally positive view of green economy practices, as reflected in a high average score of 4.24, suggesting strong agreement regarding their implementation and potential benefits. In addition, perceptions of economic development linked to green initiatives were also rated highly. These results imply that the public perceives a meaningful relationship between the adoption of green economy principles and long-term economic prosperity in Indonesia. Further analysis suggests that green practices can contribute to increased income levels, improved social welfare, and enhanced productivity, while simultaneously supporting environmental sustainability. From a practical perspective, the study highlights the importance of greater community participation, stronger policy commitment from the government, and increased green innovation by corporate entities. Theoretically, the results support existing economic and sustainability theories that emphasize the role of green economy strategies in fostering resilient, inclusive, and equitable economic growth. Overall, this study reinforces the relevance of green economy initiatives as a viable pathway toward sustainable national development.

Poverty is still a major problem in regional economic development in Jambi Province, although economic growth has been relatively stable in recent years. This condition shows that economic growth has not been fully followed by an equitable distribution of development results. This study aims to analyze the influence of economic growth and income inequality on the poverty rate in Jambi Province. The research uses a quantitative approach with district/city panel data for the 2015–2024 period sourced from the Central Statistics Agency. The analysis was carried out using the panel data regression method to test the relationship between economic growth variables, income inequality, and poverty levels. The results of the study show that economic growth measured through the growth rate of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GDP) has a negative effect on the poverty rate, meaning that increasing economic growth can reduce the number of poor people. On the other hand, income inequality measured by the Gini Ratio has a positive effect on poverty levels, which means that the higher the income inequality, the greater the poverty rate. These findings indicate that poverty reduction strategies not only require sustainable economic growth, but must also be accompanied by income equity policies so that the benefits of development can be felt more inclusively by all levels of society.

This study aims to examine the effect of investment in fixed assets, financial performance, and thin capitalization on tax avoidance in non-financial companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) in 2023. The research utilizes 431 company samples and employsAmultiple linear regression analysis. A descriptive quantitative method with a purposive sampling technique is applied, ensuring that only companies meeting specific criteria are included in the study. The findings.indicate that, simultaneously, the three independent variables have a significant influence on tax avoidance. However, when tested individually, more detailed results emerge. The variable of.investment in fixed assets does not show a significant effect on tax avoidance, suggesting that the size of fixed assets does not necessarily determine a company’s level of tax avoidance. In contrast, financial performance demonstrates a positive effect, indicating that companies with.stronger performance tend to have a greater ability to engage in tax planning. Meanwhile, thin capitalization has a negative effect, meaning that a higher proportion of certain types of debt tends to reduce the level of tax avoidance. These findings provide a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing tax avoidance behavior in Indonesia.

As the business and technological environment evolves, modern accounting is no longer limited to recording historical transactions, but has developed into a strategic information system that emphasizes transparency, accountability, and the use of technology and integrated reporting to create long-term value. From a theoretical perspective, the development of accounting is closely related to agency theory, which explains the relationship between principals and agents. Unlike agency theory, stewardship theory assumes that management is motivated by the interests of the organization and principals rather than the personal goals of managers. The conceptual differences between agency theory and stewardship theory also influence modern accounting practices. This study was conducted to analyze the conceptual differences between agency theory and stewardship theory, the factors that distinguish the two theories, and the relevance of both theories in accounting practice. This research was conducted using a descriptive qualitative approach or comparative literature study. Empirical research results show that both theories have their own relevance according to the context of the company, so neither is completely superior. Agency theory and stewardship theory also offer different but complementary perspectives in explaining the relationship between owners and managers in modern accounting practices.  

As the center for employee competency development, BSI Corporate University (BSU) plays a crucial role in strengthening BSI’s competitiveness within Indonesia’s rapidly growing Islamic banking industry. BSU’s performance from 2021 to 2023 experienced fluctuations, indicating the need for an evaluation of factors influencing employee performance. Previous studies have also shown inconsistent findings regarding the influence of Islamic Work Ethics and AKHLAK core values on performance, thereby creating a research gap. This study aims to examine the influence of Islamic Work Ethics and AKHLAK core values on employee performance at BSU. Data were collected through a quantitative survey of BSU employees, resulting in 60 valid responses, and analyzed using SmartPLS 4.1.1.2. The research employed a descriptive quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) as the analytical technique. The findings indicate that Islamic Work Ethics and AKHLAK core values have a positive and significant influence on employee performance.

Social loans are an important tool for developing local economies, especially in remote areas such as rural areas. The Indonesian Village City Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSU) is one of the business entities that provides loan capital to its members. The purpose of this study is to determine the mechanism of social loan agreements in the Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian Village City and to determine the perspective of Islamic Economic Law on loan agreements in the Multipurpose Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian Village City. This research method uses a descriptive research type with a qualitative approach. Data collection was carried out through observation and interviews with the Management and members of the Savings and Loan Cooperative (KSU) of the Indonesian City Village. The results of the study show that first, the loan application procedure involves several steps such as becoming a member, filling out forms, completing documents and the approval stage. The maximum loan provision is 80% of the savings balance with a loan tenor of 12 months and 18 months. The payment system is made in installments through salary deductions and is subject to a 5% interest. For borrowing members who are late, there are no sanctions or fines but there is a time dispensation. Second, the loan application and management mechanism at the Multipurpose Cooperative has met sharia principles through transparent and structured governance, such as deductions from salary installments and a guarantee policy provided in the form of the amount of member savings balances. However, social loans at the Multipurpose Cooperative contain an element of benefit (profit) of 5%, which according to some scholars can be classified as usury because of the addition of value to the principal loan, even though the benefit is returned to members through the Business Result Remainder (SHU).

Optimizing human resource (HR) performance through a business process reengineering (BPR) approach is a crucial strategy in a competitive and dynamic industrial environment. This study qualitatively examines through a literature review how BPRs radically redesign business processes to improve productivity, quality, time efficiency, and reduce operational costs, with a focus on HR aspects such as recruitment, training, performance appraisal, and career development. The BPR theory by Michael Hammer and James Champy emphasizes the principles of results-based workflow reorganization, the integration of information technology such as ERP and AI, and the empowerment of HR to eliminate task redundancy. In the Indonesian industrial context, the integration of BPR with digital transformation supports Industry 4.0, where HR acts as a catalyst for innovation through adaptive skills and cross-functional collaboration. The study results show that BPR implementation strategies including as-is process analysis, to-be design, change management, and continuous evaluation increase employee motivation, retention, and sustainable competitive advantage. Case studies such as PT Telkom Indonesia and PT Cahaya Mega Group demonstrate efficiency increases of up to 100%. This approach not only streamlines operations but also builds an organization resilient to market and technological disruption.

The development of digital banks and the operational losses still experienced by PT Bank Aladin Syariah Tbk necessitate a financial health analysis to assess the potential for financial distress. This study aims to assess the potential bankruptcy level of Bank Aladin for the period 2021–2024 using the Modified Altman Z-Score model. The research method is descriptive quantitative with secondary data from annual financial reports and OJK publications, which are analyzed through four main ratios, namely working capital, retained earnings, earnings before taxes, and equity value to total debt. The results show that the Z-Score values are well above the safety threshold, with the highest value of 17.764 in 2021 and the lowest of 9.422 in 2022, mainly driven by high liquidity and equity strength. Thus, it can be concluded that PT Bank Aladin Syariah Tbk is in the Safe Zone category and does not show any potential for bankruptcy during the research period, although an increase in profitability is still needed.

This article develops a conceptual model that explains how social capital and digital literacy interact in shaping Islamic financial literacy in the digital era. Through a comprehensive literature review, this study synthesizes theories, empirical findings, and thematic patterns derived from reputable academic journals, scholarly books, and institutional publications. The analysis shows that social capital functions as a value foundation encompassing trust, collective norms, and behavioral orientations that influence individuals’ initial acceptance of sharia-based financial practices. Information obtained through family, religious communities, and social networks becomes a crucial entry point that shapes early perceptions and preferences toward Islamic financial products. Meanwhile, digital literacy strengthens individuals’ ability to access, evaluate, and verify Islamic financial information independently through various digital content such as online articles, infographics, educational videos, and Islamic fintech platforms. The interaction between these two dimensions creates a layered learning process in which social capital provides contextual value and trust, while digital literacy deepens technical understanding in a more objective manner. This article contributes theoretically by proposing the Social Capital–Digital Literacy Integrative Model and offers practical implications for Islamic financial institutions, regulators, and fintech providers in designing more effective strategies to enhance Islamic financial literacy in society.

This study analyzes the role of emotional intelligence in mediating the influence of business risk perception and entrepreneurial knowledge on digital entrepreneurship intention. Using PLS-SEM, the results show that business risk perception and entrepreneurial knowledge significantly influence emotional intelligence, and that risk perception and emotional intelligence significantly influence digital entrepreneurship intention. However, entrepreneurial knowledge does not directly influence digital entrepreneurial intention, and emotional intelligence does not mediate these two relationships. These findings confirm that digital entrepreneurial intention is more influenced by risk perception and emotional ability than by entrepreneurial knowledge alone.

Nilai perusahaan mencerminkan persepsi pasar terhadap potensi laba dan risiko di masa depan, sehingga menjadi dasar penting dalam pengambilan keputusan investasi dan pendanaan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh struktur modal dan inflasi terhadap nilai perusahaan pada PT Bank Mandiri Tbk yang terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia (BEI).
