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.

Article 210 of the Compilation of Islamic Law (KHI) limits gifts to a maximum of one-third of the donor’s assets as a form of protection for the rights of heirs and to uphold social justice. However, in practice, land gift deeds drawn up by PPATs/PPATSs are still found to exceed this limit, thereby giving rise to controversy and legal disputes in the form of lawsuits seeking the annulment of such deeds in court. This phenomenon indicates a disconnect between legal principles and practical implementation, leading to legal uncertainty. This study aims to analyze the legal status of land gift deeds that exceed the maximum limit, legal protection for bona fide donees, and the responsibility of PPATs in their drafting. The research method employed is a normative legal approach using legislative, conceptual, and case-based analyses, along with primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources analyzed qualitatively. The results indicate that a land grant deed exceeding the maximum limit retains limited legal validity, specifically only for the portions compliant with the provisions of the KHI. Legal protection for the grantee can be guaranteed if there is consent from all heirs. Furthermore, the PPAT bears civil, criminal, administrative, and ethical responsibilities regarding the deed drafted. Therefore, strengthening regulations, enhancing public legal literacy, and ensuring the PPAT’s due diligence are necessary to guarantee legal certainty and reduce disputes.

Data were collected using a Likert-scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. The results showed that the level of body shaming was in the low category (32.11%), while self-confidence was in the high category (63.86%). The Spearman correlation test indicated a negative and significant relationship (ρ = -0.282; p < 0.05), meaning that higher levels of body shaming are associated with lower self-confidence. These findings indicate that body shaming has a psychological impact on students, particularly in influencing their self-confidence in social interactions

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Sustainable Food Crop Land (LP2B) management policy in Madiun Regency based on Regional Regulation Number 3 of 2020 and identify factors inhibiting its implementation, as well as formulate alternative solutions to strengthen the policy in supporting agricultural land sustainability and regional food security. This study uses an empirical legal method (empirical juridical) with a qualitative descriptive approach. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with the Department of Agriculture, and farmers, as well as field observations, while secondary data were obtained through a study of laws and regulations and policy documents. The analysis was conducted by examining aspects of communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure in policy implementation, using triangulation techniques to ensure data validity. The results show that LP2B implementation is not optimal. The main obstacles include farmers' low understanding of legal provisions, limited human resources and budget, weak cross-sectoral coordination, and economic pressures and high land sales prices. In addition, the national target of fulfilling 87% of Raw Paddy Land adds to the complexity of implementation at the regional level. Strengthening implementation requires improving legal communication, strengthening institutional capacity, synchronizing policies with spatial planning, and a participatory approach that actively involves farmers.

This research is motivated by the escalating prevalence of illegal online lending practices in Indonesia, which generate a multitude of legal problems, particularly those concerning the validity of loan agreements and debt collection practices. The simplicity of access through smartphone applications, rapid processing times often approved within minutes and minimal administrative requirements have rendered these services immensely popular among the public. However, this accessibility also paves the way for unlicensed providers to operate unchecked, preying on desperate borrowers. The study aims to analyze the legal validity of illegal online loan agreements pursuant to the Indonesian Civil Code (KUHPerdata) and regulations issued by the Financial Services Authority (Otoritas Jasa Keuangan, OJK). Additionally, it examines the legal position of debt collection from a civil law perspective. A normative juridical method is employed, utilizing statutory and conceptual approaches, with qualitative analysis of the data. The results demonstrate that illegal online loan agreements fail to fulfill the requirements for a valid contract, especially regarding the legal capacity of the parties and lawful cause, categorizing them as null and void by operation of law. Nevertheless, in practice, unlicensed providers continue debt collection efforts, frequently employing methods that violate the law, such as harassment and intimidation. This reveals a significant gap between legal norms and field implementation. The implications emphasize the critical need for robust law enforcement, enhanced consumer protection mechanisms, and stricter oversight of fintech lenders to establish legal certainty and justice for society.

Field observations indicated that the implementation of servant leadership was in the good category, accompanied by high levels of employee engagement and a satisfactory job satisfaction index. Empirically, this study confirmed that servant leadership has a positive and significant influence on both employee engagement and job satisfaction. Furthermore, job satisfaction was found to act as a mediating variable linking the influence of servant leadership on employee engagement. Referring to these findings, it is recommended that management prioritize aspects of well-being, competency development, and recognition of staff contributions. In addition, creating a supportive and collaborative organizational climate is essential to maintaining stable employee satisfaction and engagement.

The study aims to analyze in greater depth the influence of work motivation and employee loyalty on employee performance at PT ABC. This research employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory design intended to systematically explain the relationships among variables. Data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires using a Likert scale (1–5) to employees with a minimum of one year of tenure, as they are considered to have an adequate understanding of organizational conditions. Data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method with the assistance of SmartPLS 4 software to obtain more accurate and comprehensive results. The findings indicate that all research indicators have met the established validity and reliability criteria. The structural model test shows that work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (β = 0.207; p = 0.007), and employee loyalty also has a positive and significant effect (β = 0.718; p = 0.000). The R-square value of 0.753 indicates that both variables are able to explain 75.3% of the variation in employee performance. These findings emphasize that work motivation and employee loyalty play important roles in improving performance, with loyalty being the most dominant factor influencing employee performance.

This study aims to describe the role of parents in increasing the motivation to learn to read and write the Qur'an (BTA) at TPQ Babul Khair Abepura and analyze its impact on the children's abilities. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving teachers/ustadz, parents, and students as data sources. Data was collected through observations, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model, with its validity tested through source triangulation. The results show that the role of parents is crucial in enhancing children's learning motivation, both as educators, motivators, facilitators, and role models. Active parental involvement has proven to improve discipline, enthusiasm for learning, and children's achievements in reading and writing the Qur'an. On the other hand, a lack of parental involvement negatively affects children's motivation and abilities. The motivation provided by parents helps in the smooth reading of the Qur'an, understanding tajwid, and writing hijaiyah letters. In conclusion, the success of BTA learning is not only dependent on the process at TPQ but is also influenced by parental involvement at home. The synergy between the family and educational institutions is crucial in improving the quality of Qur'an learning and shaping a morally upright generation.

This study aims to analyze how human development governance is implemented by the Government of South Sulawesi Province in reducing regional disparities, identify institutional factors influencing implementation quality, and examine its implications for human development outcomes. The study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through interviews with key informants from the Regional Development Planning Agency (Bappeda) and relevant Regional Apparatus Organizations, analysis of regional planning documents such as RPJMD and RKPD, and statistical data from the Central Bureau of Statistics related to the Human Development Index (HDI), poverty, and employment. Data were analyzed thematically using triangulation to ensure validity of findings. The results show that the Human Development Index has been positioned as a key performance indicator in regional development planning documents and prioritized in education and health sector policies. Although overall HDI achievement in South Sulawesi is categorized as high, significant disparities remain across regencies and municipalities, particularly in education and standard of living. A poverty rate of 8.06 percent and the increasing trend of the Gini Ratio indicate that distribution of welfare has not been fully equitable. Furthermore, the dominance of the informal sector in the employment structure reflects challenges related to job quality, income stability, and limited social protection coverage. These findings suggest that the main challenge of human development in South Sulawesi lies not only in improving aggregate indicators but also in strengthening bureaucratic capacity, cross-sectoral coordination, and policy implementation consistency to ensure more inclusive and equitable development across regions.
