This study aims to analyze the leadership qualifications of Moses in Exodus 18:21 and examine their relevance for contemporary Christian team leadership. The research is grounded in the increasing complexity of modern leadership challenges, which often prioritize structural effectiveness without sufficient ethical and spiritual foundations. Employing a qualitative approach with a historical-grammatical hermeneutical method, this study interprets the text within its historical, literary, and lexical contexts. The findings reveal that the four leadership criteria—capable, God-fearing, trustworthy, and hating dishonest gain—form an integrated value system that undergirds Israel’s collective leadership structure. The novelty of this research lies in its interpretation of Exodus 18:21 not merely as a description of Moses’ personal charisma, but as a paradigm for participatory and ethically grounded team leadership. Theologically, the “fear of God” functions as the normative center that integrates competence and integrity. These findings suggest that contemporary Christian leadership development should prioritize spiritual character and moral accountability as foundational elements in building sustainable and integrity-based teamwork..

This quantitative study examines the influence of information quality, work engagement, and leadership style on decision making effectiveness among employees of a manufacturing company. Data were collected from 100 respondents using accidental sampling technique. Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that all three independent variables simultaneously affect decision making effectiveness. Partially, information quality, work engagement, and leadership style each have significant positive effects on decision making effectiveness. Leadership style demonstrates the strongest influence, followed by information quality and work engagement. The regression equation indicates positive contributions from all predictors. The coefficient of determination shows that the three predictors collectively explain a substantial portion of variance in decision making effectiveness. Findings suggest manufacturing companies should prioritize transformational leadership development programs, conduct information system audits, and implement work engagement initiatives to enhance decision making effectiveness. Future research should expand to other industries, add organizational culture variables, and employ longitudinal designs.

Digital transformation has driven organizations to adopt the metaverse as a 3D virtual workspace that enables employee interaction through avatars, thereby introducing new challenges in managing organizational identity, work culture, and employee loyalty. This study aims to analyze the role of human resource leadership in establishing organizational identity, transforming work culture, and sustaining employee loyalty within a metaverse-based work environment. The study employs an integrative literature review approach by systematically collecting and synthesizing relevant scholarly sources from reputable publications within the last five years. The findings indicate that organizational identity in the metaverse is constructed through avatar representation and virtual environment design, while work culture undergoes a transformation toward flexible digital interaction patterns that still require reinforcement of organizational values. Furthermore, employee loyalty is influenced by the quality of virtual experiences and the effectiveness of leadership communication. In this context, digital-based HR leadership emerges as a critical factor in fostering employee engagement and trust in a non-physical interaction setting. This study contributes conceptually by integrating leadership, identity, culture, and loyalty within the metaverse framework, and provides practical implications for organizations in designing adaptive human resource management strategies in response to the advancement of immersive technologies.

Overcrowding or excess capacity in correctional institutions is a serious problem in the criminal justice system in Indonesia. One alternative that could be a solution is the application of social work punishment. Social work punishment offers a more humane approach and does not burden correctional institutions. Aim. This study aims to examine the policy of social work sanctions in Indonesia as an alternative sentencing approach and its potential as a solution to address the issues of overcrowding in correctional institutions. It explores the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing social work penalties within Indonesia’s legal framework, specifically in mitigating prison overcrowding and improving rehabilitation outcomes for offenders. Methods. The research employs a normative juridical approach by analyzing laws, regulations, and relevant literature related to criminal sanctions in Indonesia. In addition, qualitative data is gathered through interviews with legal practitioners, corrections officers, and policymakers to understand the perspectives and readiness of the criminal justice system to implement social work penalties. Comparative analysis with international practices is also included to evaluate the adaptability and potential challenges in Indonesia. Results. Findings reveal that social work penalties can serve as an effective alternative to custodial sentences for non-violent offenders, reducing the burden on correctional facilities. Implementation challenges include the need for regulatory support, coordination among institutions, and public awareness. Nevertheless, social work sanctions show promise in promoting rehabilitative justice, lowering recidivism, and creating a more balanced criminal justice system in Indonesia.

This study is motivated by the importance of improving the performance of police officers as the frontline of public service, which is influenced by transformational leadership, organizational communication, and work discipline. In practice, variations in officer performance are still observed at police precincts under the Solok Police Department, as evidenced by differences in case resolution rates, service responsiveness, and the effectiveness of task execution. These conditions are suspected to be related to the suboptimal implementation of transformational leadership, organizational communication, and work discipline among officers. This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership and organizational communication on police officer performance, as well as to test the role of work discipline as a moderating variable. The research method used is a quantitative approach with a field research design. The study population consisted of all 126 members of the police stations under the Solok Police Department, with a sample size of 124 respondents. Data collection was conducted by distributing questionnaires to police officers, which were then analyzed using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) method. The results of the study indicate that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on member performance, with a coefficient of 0.754, a T-statistic of 3.550 (>1.96), and a P-value of 0.000 (<0.05); thus, the first hypothesis is accepted. Organizational communication has a negative and significant effect on performance with a coefficient of -0.615, a T-statistic of 2.509 (>1.96), and a P-value of 0.012 (<0.05). Work discipline does not moderate the effects of transformational leadership or organizational communication on performance, as both show insignificant results. In conclusion, improved police officer performance can be achieved through the implementation of effective transformational leadership and the strengthening of organizational communication.

Individual behavioral factors are critical determinants of organizational effectiveness and a vital component of modern organizational diagnosis. This study aims to identify and map individual behavioral factors as strategic indicators in organizational diagnosis using a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach guided by PRISMA 2020. Analysis of ten selected articles reveals that organizational effectiveness in the digital transformation era is driven by a reciprocal equilibrium between an individual's cognitive infrastructure and volatile work environment demands. The findings synthesize these behaviors into four strategic clusters: psychological well-being as primary infrastructure, digital structural support audits, justice and trust equilibrium, and psychological contract synchronization. This research provides tactical implications for Human Capital practitioners to transform annual diagnostic methodologies toward the implementation of monthly pulse surveys to detect fluctuations in well-being and disengagement intentions in real-time. This predictive diagnostic step is essential to mitigate turnover risks and design precise institutional interventions in hybrid work ecosystems.

This activity aims to improve the knowledge, awareness, and anti-corruption competency of final-year maritime cadets from all APPI member universities regarding international and national maritime anti-corruption regulations, further strengthening the ethical decision-making abilities of maritime cadets in dealing with corrupt situations in ports and on ships through a simulation approach based on real cases. This activity is designed as a participatory educational workshop with an active and experiential learning approach to adult learning (andragogy), which allows the implementation team to simultaneously collect scientific data on the effectiveness of workshop interventions in increasing participants' anti-corruption knowledge and awareness. The activity is carried out through three main stages that are systematically structured, namely the preparation stage, the implementation stage, and the evaluation and follow-up stage. The results of the activity confirm the effectiveness of the participatory workshop approach based on real case simulations (experiential learning) in significantly increasing knowledge and changing anti-corruption attitudes of maritime cadets in a relatively short duration. Furthermore, cadets have a stronger stock of knowledge, awareness, and moral commitment to deal with corrupt situations in the work environment. It is concluded that the participatory workshop approach based on real-life case simulations is an effective, efficient, and replicable strategy in empowering the next generation of Indonesian seafarers to face the challenges of corruption in the global maritime industry.

This study aims to analyze the implementation of Good Governance principles—transparency, accountability, participation, effectiveness, efficiency, rule of law, and inclusivity—in public administration services at the Sungai Tabukan Sub-district Office, especially in the Service, Economy, and Social Welfare Section. The method used is a qualitative approach with a case study design through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of sub-district officials and service user communities. The data was analyzed through reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawn, and tested for validity by triangulation and member check techniques. The results of the study show that procedural transparency, compliance with SOPs, and administrative accountability mechanisms have been running relatively well, so that services such as SKKM, marriage recommendations, and population documents can be processed openly and can be traced. However, the limitations of human resources, facilities, and digital infrastructure cause the effectiveness and efficiency of services to still be conditional and depend on key actors. Community participation has been facilitated through forums and feedback channels, but it is still dominated by village intermediaries so that the direct involvement of residents is not optimal. In terms of the rule of law and inclusivity, services have been based on regulations and are non-discriminatory, although there are still inequality in access and speed of services between regions. The main supporting factors include leadership commitment, internal work culture, and the existence of SOPs, while inhibiting factors include limited human resources, facilities, and information systems that have not been integrated. It was concluded that the implementation of Good Governance in public administration services in Sungai Tabukan District has been running functionally, but has not been fully consolidated systemically. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen policies through the digitization of services, increase the capacity of the apparatus, improve facilities, integrate data-based accountability and transparency systems, and expand citizen participation channels to realize more professional, fair, and sustainable public administration service.

Ballast water plays a crucial role in maintaining ship stability during shipping, but it also carries environmental and human health risks due to the heavy metals it carries. This study aims to examine the health risks posed by exposure to heavy metals in ballast water and to assess the effectiveness of management practices implemented in the maritime industry. Using a literature review method, this study examines various scientific sources related to the content of heavy metals such as lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), copper (Cu), and zinc (Zn) in ballast water, as well as their impacts on human health and marine ecosystems. The results indicate that heavy metals in ballast water can cause long-term toxic effects such as neurological disorders, kidney damage, and respiratory and reproductive disorders. The greatest risk is experienced by maritime workers who are directly exposed through inhalation or skin contact during the ballast water sampling and processing process. To minimize these risks, strict work safety protocols, improved ballast water treatment technology, and regular monitoring of heavy metal levels are required. Thus, this study emphasizes the importance of strengthening ballast water management policies and practices that are oriented towards human health and environmental sustainability.  

Law Number 11 of 2012 emphasizes restorative justice, diversion, and the protection and fulfillment of children’s rights within the juvenile justice system. In addition, Law Number 22 of 2022 highlights the importance of guidance and assistance aimed at supporting the social reintegration of children in conflict with the law. However, the implementation of these legal provisions at the Class I Correctional Center (Bapas) in Banda Aceh has not been fully effective due to several challenges, including the limited number of officers, inadequate initial assistance, and constraints in reporting and inter-institutional coordination. This study aims to analyze the implementation of assistance provided to juvenile correctional clients at Bapas Class I Banda Aceh and identify factors affecting its effectiveness. The research employs an empirical juridical method with descriptive qualitative analysis based on interviews, documentation, and legal literature. The findings reveal that assistance has been provided throughout all judicial stages, including pre-adjudication, adjudication, and post-adjudication processes. These activities involve community research, assistance during diversion and court proceedings, and post-verdict guidance. Nevertheless, implementation remains suboptimal due to internal factors such as limited Community Advisors and heavy workloads, as well as external factors including insufficient family support, limited community acceptance, and weak coordination between institutions. These issues affect the effectiveness of assistance and hinder children’s successful social reintegration.

This research aims to analyze the strategic role of management psychology in enhancing the performance and effectiveness of educational organizations through a systematic literature review. The development of modern educational organizations demands human resource management that is not only oriented toward administrative aspects but also considers the psychological dynamics of individuals, including behavior, motivation, and interpersonal relationships. The research method used is qualitative with a literature review approach, analyzing relevant scientific articles from the Google Scholar database. The results of the study indicate that management psychology contributes significantly to organizational productivity through three main aspects: effective organizational communication to build trust, psychology-based leadership that increases work motivation and satisfaction through recognition and fairness, and constructive conflict management that transforms tension into opportunities for innovation. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the integration of various psychological dimensions, such as organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) and self-efficacy, is a key element in creating a conducive work environment. Therefore, leaders of educational institutions are advised to adopt a humanistic leadership style to optimize the potential of human resources and achieve superior educational quality in a sustainable and effective manner within the modern era.

Exposure to toxic materials in the workplace remains a major occupational health and safety issue, particularly in industrial sectors with high chemical use intensity. Various control efforts have been implemented through industrial hygiene and occupational safety (OHS) programs, but their effectiveness varies. This study aims to analyze strategies for controlling toxic material exposure through industrial hygiene and OHS programs based on literature review over the past five years. The method used was literature review of 10 national journals relevant  the topic of toxic material exposure in various industrial sectors. The analysis results indicate that toxic material exposure is still found in various sectors, with types of materials such as heavy metals, organic solvents, toxic gases, and industrial dust. The most commonly implemented control strategies are the use personal protective equipment (PPE), administrative controls, and some engineering controls such as ventilation. However, the effectiveness of these controls is less than optimal due low worker compliance, limited supervision, and the minimal implementation of higher-level controls such as elimination and substitution. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen integrated industrial hygiene programs, improve worker compliance, and implement a more comprehensive hierarchy of controls to minimize the risk of toxic material exposure in the workplace.

This study aims to analyze the effect of e-government implementation, Transparency and Maturity of Internal Control System (SPI) on the Quality of Buleleng Regency Government Financial Reports. The research method uses a quantitative approach with a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires to 74 respondents consisting of heads of financial sub-sections and financial report preparation staff at 37 Regional Work Units (SKPD) in Buleleng Regency. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling. Data are analyzed using multiple regression with the help of SPSS 26. The results of the study indicate that the e-government variable does not have a significant effect on the quality of Buleleng Regency government financial reports. Meanwhile, the Transparency and Maturity of Internal Control System (SPI) variables have a positive and significant effect on the quality of Buleleng Regency government financial reports. This finding indicates that the higher the level of implementation of transparency and maturity of the internal control system (SPI), the better the quality of local government financial reports. However, the implementation of e-government has not yet made a significant contribution, possibly due to the suboptimal implementation of the reporting system, which focuses solely on service and administration, and the limited use of technology by human resources. Therefore, the Buleleng Regency government is expected to improve the effectiveness of its e-government implementation and continue to strengthen the transparency and maturity of its internal control system (SPI) to improve the quality of its financial reports. Keywords: E-Government, Transparency, Internal Control System Maturity, financial report quality

Due to its focus on the psychological components of leadership, motivation, communication, and human resource development in educational institutions, management psychology is becoming an increasingly significant perspective in educational management. The use of management psychology in the classroom is considered crucial for improving organizational performance and teacher motivation. The purpose of this study was to investigate how management psychology can enhance teacher work motivation and its impact on school efficacy. This study reviewed previous research on the use of management psychology in education using a qualitative approach and literature review methodology. Using keywords related to management psychology in education, teacher motivation, educational leadership, and educational organizational performance, systematic search of scientific publications published in the Google Scholar database between 2022 and 2026 was used to collect data. Identification, screening, eligibility evaluation, and final selection of relevant publications were all steps in the literature selection process. Thematic coding techniques were used to examine six selected publications to determine the main findings, methodology, and research emphasis of each study.

This study aims to analyze the impact of women’s dual roles and work stress on the work quality of female employees in the Production Division of PT Unggulrejo Wasono, Purworejo. The background of this research arises from the phenomenon of married female workers who must balance household responsibilities with factory production demands, a condition that often leads to stress and decreased work performance. Using a qualitative approach, data were collected through observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model. The findings reveal that dual roles significantly influence work quality, with many female employees experiencing physical and mental fatigue that lowers concentration, accuracy, and productivity. Work stress is triggered by excessive workloads, high production targets, uncomfortable working conditions, and limited interpersonal support. There are three findings: (1) negative impacts on female employees without family support; (2) dual roles serve as a motivator when supported by spouses or parents; and (3) fluctuating effects depending on household and work conditions. The research implications affirm that PT Unggulrejo Wasono's efforts to address dual roles and work stress remain limited but somewhat helpful. Counseling programs and stress management training have had a positive impact on some female employees, although the effects are not yet widespread due to the absence of structural policies such as workload adjustments or childcare support. As a result, the work quality of employees who receive support tends to be more stable, while those without support remain vulnerable to decreased productivity and increased absenteeism. Therefore, while the existing  efforts  are beneficial,  their  effectiveness  needs  to  be improved  to  achieve broader  positive outcomes.

This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of play-based methods in Physical Education, Sports, and Health (PJOK) learning for sixth-grade students at Pelangi Elementary School. The background of this study is the decline in movement motivation in upper-grade students due to excessive focus on academic workload. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with data collection techniques in the form of participatory observation and in-depth interviews with key informants. The results of the study indicate that the integration of structured games in the Lesson Implementation Plan (RPP) can improve motor coordination and students' social values. In addition, modifications to game tools and rules provide creative solutions to overcome the limitations of existing facilities. The conclusion of the study confirms that the play-based approach functions not only as a recreational activity but also as an effective formal instructional method to achieve curriculum targets holistically, supporting students' physical and social development simultaneously. This approach is expected to be implemented more widely in schools to improve the quality of PJOK learning.

The effectiveness of hypertension prevention in communities depends critically on individuals’ knowledge of risk factors and their attitudes toward healthy behaviors. This study examines the relationship between mothers’ knowledge and attitudes toward hypertension prevention behavior in South Polongbangkeng District, Takalar Regency, 2026. An observational analytic quantitative design with a cross-sectional approach was employed. A total of 200 mothers were selected as respondents. Data were collected using structured questionnaires assessing knowledge, attitude, and hypertension prevention behavior, then analyzed using chi-square test at a significance level of α = 0.05. Results showed that the majority of respondents had good knowledge (89.0%), good attitudes (91.0%), and good hypertension prevention behavior (77.0%). Statistical tests revealed a significant association between mothers’ knowledge and hypertension prevention behavior (p = 0.000) and between mothers’ attitudes and hypertension prevention behavior (p = 0.000). It is concluded that mothers’ knowledge and attitudes are significantly associated with hypertension prevention behavior. Health workers are recommended to strengthen health education and promotion programs targeting mothers to support hypertension prevention in the community.
