N the rapidly evolving digital era, decision-making has become a critical aspect across various fields, including education, where choices such as selecting an Islamic boarding school (pondok pesantren) are often influenced by complex and subjective factors. This study addresses the dilemma faced by Diyah, a junior high school student, in determining the best reasons for choosing Pondok Pesantren Darularafah Raya, highlighting the limitations of manual, personal-based processes that fail to systematically consider measurable criteria like educational quality, learning environment, facilities, discipline, and instilled religious values. The advancement of information technology provides a solution through Decision Support Systems (DSS), utilizing the ORESTE (Organization, Rangement Et Synthèse De Données Relationnelles) method, which effectively processes ordinal data to produce objective rankings based on subjective yet structured preferences. Unlike other methods such as SAW or AHP that rely on numerical data, ORESTE emphasizes relative preference weights, making it suitable for individual decision-making contexts like educational choices. The novelty of this research lies in applying ORESTE in a DSS focused on analyzing an individual's best reasons for selecting a pesantren, aiming to reduce subjective bias and enhance rationality. The primary objective is to develop a DSS using the ORESTE method to analyze and determine Diyah's optimal reasons for choosing the pesantren. Through this, the system is expected to accelerate evaluation processes, improve objectivity, and identify dominant factors influencing educational decisions. Findings from the implementation demonstrate accurate rankings that prioritize key criteria, leading to more efficient and data-driven outcomes. Implications include aiding students, schools, and educators in understanding influential factors, fostering objective assessment systems, and serving as a reference for future studies integrating MCDM methods with computer-based systems in personalized educational decision-making.

Education is a fundamental human right that must be guaranteed for every child without discrimination. In Indonesia, particularly in the Ambon region, educational inequality remains a serious challenge influenced by geographical, socio-economic, and structural factors. Children from impoverished families and remote areas often lack access to adequate education due to limited facilities, low-quality teaching staff, and inadequate technological infrastructure. This situation not only hinders children’s potential development but also perpetuates cycles of poverty and social injustice. Data from the Ministry of Education and Culture (2021) indicates low basic education participation rates and high dropout rates in Maluku and Ambon. In response, the church in Ambon, as highlighted by Joseph Lourine Since (2023), plays a strategic role through the Marginalized Children’s Development School (Sekolah Pembinaan Anak Marginal - SPAM), an alternative education program integrating academic learning with Christian character and spiritual formation. This initiative embodies the preferential option for the poor principle in liberation theology, as developed by Gustavo Gutiérrez, positioning the church as an advocate for the marginalized in its social and moral mission. This abstract recommends strengthening the church’s role in education through multisectoral collaboration to create a more just and inclusive education system for marginalized children.

This study examines the strategic role of job satisfaction in shaping organizational commitment in the context of companies by synthesizing empirical evidence published between 2016 and 2025. Although it has been extensively researched, findings related to the consistency and determinants of the relationship between job satisfaction and organizational commitment are still scattered and have not been integrated, thus requiring comprehensive mapping. Therefore, this study aims to identify empirical patterns, conceptual issues, and theoretical foundations that explain how job satisfaction contributes to the formation of organizational commitment. Using the PRISMA based Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method, 35 articles were selected through the stages of identification, screening, quality assessment, and thematic synthesis. The review results show that job satisfaction is consistently a major predictor of organizational commitment in various corporate sectors. These findings are consistent with theories such as Social Exchange Theory, Equity Theory, Herzberg's Two Factor Theory, and Job Demands Resources Model, which explain the cognitive and affective mechanisms of commitment formation. In addition, variables such as work environment, job involvement, work life balance, internal CSR, and HR practices were identified as mediators or moderators that strengthen this relationship. This study concludes that increasing job satisfaction is an important strategy for strengthening commitment, reducing turnover intentions, and improving organizational performance. This review contributes to an integrative understanding of empirical developments and theoretical perspectives, and provides recommendations for future research to expand the data base and consider cross-cultural dynamics in organizations.
