This study will analyze the influence of digital competence (E-Skills) as an important factor in improving the performance of educational staff through the moderating role of digital leadership or E-Leadership. This research uses the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Square which involves 120 respondents who work as Education Personnel at Pancasakti University Tegal as research samples using a questionnaire with a Likert scale of 1-5. Data analysis was processed using the SmartPLS v.4 program using the Second Order method approach. The research results show that 1) digital competence has a positive influence on the performance of educational staff, 2) The role of E-Leadership in moderating the influence of digital competence on employee performance is not statistically significant in this research. This is caused by variability in the application of E-Leadership, varying levels of digital competence among employees, as well as other contextual factors outside of the more dominant research. 3) The level of respondents' perception of Access, Use, Communication and Creation as dimensions of Digital Competence is in the medium category so efforts need to be made to increase it through developing digital competence.

Proficiency in computer networking and cybersecurity has become very important, especially with the increasing need for human resources in this sector. However, the availability of experts remains scarce due to the complexity of technology, demands for extensive knowledge and skills, and limitations in education and training. The Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) programme initiated by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Research and Technology of the Republic of Indonesia offers a solution through independent study to improve student competencies. This programme aims to provide learning flexibility, encourage independent learning, and improve student’s technical skills and soft skills. This article discusses efforts to improve interdisciplinary student competencies in computer networking and cybersecurity through the MBKM independent study programme, especially through Magang Studi Independen Bersertifikat (MSIB). As a Programme Assistance Lecturer (DPP), the author used a qualitative approach with a case study method involving students from various study programmes. The results of the activities show that the MSIB programme has a positive impact on improving student competencies across disciplines, both in technical skills such as network configuration and security analysis, as well as in the development of soft skills such as time management, communication, critical thinking, and teamwork.

The evolution of global virtual firms in the post-pandemic era has transformed the dynamics of leadership, collaboration, and team performance. This study investigates the influence of digital leadership styles-particularly transformational, transactional, and adaptive-on the effectiveness of collaboration among remote teams operating in multinational virtual environments. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, data were collected from managers and team leaders of multinational corporations who lead geographically dispersed teams. Quantitative findings reveal that adaptive and transformational digital leadership styles significantly enhance communication, coordination, trust, and motivation within remote teams, while transactional leadership proves less effective in sustaining engagement across time zones and cultural boundaries. Qualitative insights highlight that flexibility, empathy, and digital literacy are central to building trust and cohesion in diverse virtual settings. Moreover, the use of advanced collaboration tools such as Slack, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom amplifies leadership effectiveness when aligned with inclusive communication practices. The study underscores that successful digital leadership depends on balancing human-centered empathy with technological competence to foster team cohesion and innovation. Managerial implications emphasize the need to develop leaders’ digital competencies and cross-cultural communication skills, along with fostering adaptive strategies to sustain engagement in virtual work environments. Future research should explore the longitudinal effects of digital leadership development programs across industries to assess their sustained impact on productivity, innovation, and organizational resilience in digital ecosystems.

Video marketing strategy plays a very big role in efforts to reach potential customers and campaigns for a brand which will have an impact on increasing product sales. One of the online business people with the greatest interest is women. This is because women have free time to run their business 24 hours a day, as well as business communication skills that can easily influence potential customers. However, on the other hand, the acceleration of technology means that most, if not all, business people must be able to keep up. The most important factor is skills in managing marketing content which is the main media in online business. Women are actually connoted as a gender that is less skilled in technology and is forced to master marketing content. Therefore, this community service activity is intended to provide a solution in the form of training in creating marketing video content to improve marketing so that it has an impact on increasing product sales. The method used is in the form of direct assistance and training in making marketing videos, with the target object being women business actors and non-business actors, who are members of the Kemitir Village PKK. The results and outcomes of this service activity are the creation of new skills for women in Kemitir Village in making short videos which are uploaded to Instagram reels as marketing content.

Bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application remains challenging in big data education. Our paper proposes a platform where students actively participate in a role-based learning (RBL) exercise designed to simulate real-world big data projects. This RBL exercise assigns each student participant to a business analyst role tasked with eliciting requirements or a customer role that provides those big data requirements. We conducted RBL sessions for postgraduate and undergraduate students learning big data analytics/data warehousing. Through role-playing in a collaborative environment, students face challenges such as unclear objectives, data privacy concerns, and evolving requirements. We evaluated the effectiveness of RBL simulations through brainstorming sessions, which verified that the students achieved the learning outcomes through RBL exercises. We also collected students’ feedback through a survey and found the RBL experience helped us understand the big data requirement elicitation skills, highlighting the significance of communication and collaboration skills. Further, we have evaluated students through a final exam question, and identified that students who participated in the RBL exercise outperformed in the big data requirement elicitation question. In summary, our research demonstrates that this RBL approach offers a valuable learning experience by enabling students to directly experience the complexities of big data requirement elicitation and identify the future requirements or challenges that encourage them to acquire the required skills.
