In Islam, the family is a spiritual institution that plays a central role in shaping human psychological and moral balance. However, modernization, individualism, and value disorientation have led to rising psychological crises and disharmony in Muslim households. This issue requires a scientific approach that goes beyond legal-normative perspectives toward an integrative psychological understanding. This study aims to analyze the concept of Sakinah, Mawaddah, and Rahmah from a psychological perspective to formulate a contextual and applicable model of family well-being. The research employs a qualitative library research method by synthesizing Islamic sources (Qur’an, Hadith, and classical scholarship) with contemporary psychological theories of emotional well-being and spiritual intelligence. The findings reveal that Sakinah represents spiritual-emotional equilibrium, Mawaddah functions as an ethical and transcendental affective energy, and Rahmah embodies compassionate empathy that nurtures healing and forgiveness. Together, these values constitute the Islamic Family Well-Being Model, an integrative paradigm that situates spirituality as emotional regulation, love as affective force, and compassion as moral regulator. This model asserts that genuine harmony in Muslim families can only be achieved through psycho-spiritual balance grounded in divine values.

The rapid development of technology and the dynamic global labor market require young generations, particularly Generation Z, to possess career readiness that is determined not only by technical skills but also by non-technical competencies, or soft skills. This study aims to analyze the role of soft skills, particularly creativity, in shaping the career preparedness and success of Generation Z. Literature synthesis indicates that Generation Z excels in digital literacy and technological adaptability but still faces challenges in social and emotional competencies, such as effective communication, empathy, and cross-generational collaboration. The imbalance between hard skills and soft skills affects work effectiveness, career mobility, and the ability to build professional networks. Creativity emerges as a strategic soft skill that enhances motivation, innovation, and productivity, and can be developed through the integration of soft and hard skills, project-based learning approaches, educational technology, and the strengthening of self-efficacy. The study also identifies challenges in fostering creativity in real workplace environments, including hierarchical organizational cultures and limited mechanisms for rewarding new ideas. Based on these findings, it is recommended that educational institutions, industries, and policymakers collaborate to create a sustainable ecosystem for soft skills development, enabling Generation Z to become innovative and adaptive change agents in a competitive global career landscape.

This study aims to formulate an integrative conceptual framework regarding the role of research methods in the formation of evidence-based village policy (EBP). The main focus is how qualitative, quantitative, and mixed methods research can be used to produce more inclusive, transparent, and accountable policies in the context of village development in Indonesia. This study uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to scientific publications indexed by Scopus, Web of Science, and SINTA for the period 2015–2025. The literature synthesis shows that research methods play a crucial role in identifying village community needs, improving data quality, and strengthening accountability in the policy formulation process. The EBP approach has been shown to encourage citizen participation, increase transparency in village fund allocation, and minimize the dominance of short-term political interests. However, its implementation faces challenges such as limited capacity of village officials, inadequate data infrastructure, and low policy literacy at the local level. These findings are relevant for strengthening village capacity in managing development funds, developing policies based on the real needs of residents, and promoting social accountability. This article makes a new contribution to the local public policy literature by emphasizing the importance of research as an instrument for strengthening village governance.

This study aims to analyze the effect of profitability, leverage, and dividend policy on firm value in the energy sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2021–2024 period. The energy sector was selected due to its strategic role in the national economy and its contribution to the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG). Out of 81 energy sector firms, 22 firms were obtained as samples using a purposive sampling method. Data analysis was conducted using the path analysis technique. The results show that profitability has a significant effect on firm value, while leverage has no effect. Dividend policy also has no effect on firm value, whereas profitability has no effect on dividend policy, and leverage has a significant negative effect on dividend policy. Furthermore, dividend policy is unable to mediate the relationship between profitability and leverage with firm value. These findings imply that firm value is more influenced by profitability factors than by leverage or dividend policy. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for firm management, investors, and policymakers in making future financial decisions.

Sustainability reporting has been increasingly popular in recent years as businesses become more aware of environmental challenges. 96% of the top businesses in the world have implemented sustainability reporting practices, according to a KPMG survey. The effect of sustainability reporting practices on environmental performance is examined in this study. Sustainability reports, the implementation of GRI standards, and external assurance are used to gauge sustainability reporting procedures; firm size is used as a control variable. In this study, 305 observational data from manufacturing firm over a five-year period (2018-2022) were analysed quantitatively using binary logistic regression. The findings indicate that while the use of GRI standards has a positive and significant effect on environmental performance, sustainability reports and external assurance have no significant effect. These findings show that the implementation in GRI standards encourages business commitment to sustainable practices and transparency, both of which have a significant impact on environmental performance. In the meanwhile, external assurance and sustainability reports tend to be mostly symbolic and do not demonstrate a real commitment to environmental improvement. Environmental performance is positively impacted by the control variable, firm size. These findings suggest that a company's environmental performance is correlated with its size. As a control variable, firm size contributes to maintaining and clarifying the relationship between environmental performance and sustainability practices while ensuring objective and valid study findings. This study emphasizes the importance of strengthening the quality of sustainability reporting and expanding the application of external standards and assurance to improve the credibility and accountability of corporate environmental performance in Indonesia.

This study examines the synergy between morality and professionalism as foundational components in shaping ethical behavior among civil servants in Palangka Raya City. The research is motivated by persistent ethical issues within local government bureaucracy, despite ongoing reform initiatives that emphasize integrity and accountability in public service. Using a quantitative explanatory survey design, data were collected from civil servants across several regional government institutions and analyzed through multiple linear regression to determine the influence of morality and professionalism on ethical behavior. The findings indicate that both variables significantly contribute to the formation of ethical conduct, with morality demonstrating a slightly stronger influence compared to professionalism, thereby confirming theoretical concepts which argue that ethical public administration requires both personal integrity and professional competence. These results highlight the importance of strengthening institutional ethics programs through character building, competency-based professionalism, and transparent supervisory mechanisms to ensure consistency of ethical behavior across administrative practices. The study also acknowledges methodological limitations related to the exclusive use of quantitative measures, suggesting that future research may integrate qualitative approaches to capture deeper subjective meanings of morality and professionalism within public sector settings.
