The role of human resources in a company is crucial and must be utilized as effectively as possible. To achieve this, it is necessary to implement strategies that motivate employees to work willingly and apply their skills and competencies to achieve optimal performance. Employee performance is influenced by several factors, including motivation, ethics, and the work environment. This study employed a saturated sampling technique, meaning that the entire population of 93 employees at CV. Surya Food Indonesia Blitar was used as the sample. Data were collected through questionnaires and documentation methods. The results of the analysis revealed that motivation significantly influences employee performance. Similarly, ethics also has a significant impact on how employees perform their duties. Furthermore, the work environment plays a key role in shaping employee performance. Collectively, motivation, ethics, and the work environment were found to have a combined and significant effect on the performance of employees at CV. Surya Food Indonesia Blitar. These findings highlight the importance of fostering a motivated, ethical, and supportive workplace to enhance overall productivity.  

PT Unilever Indonesia’s strategic application is examined through the Balanced Scorecard framework, focusing on four key perspectives: financial, customer, internal business processes, and learning and growth. The analysis reveals that while the company demonstrates strong financial performance, such as high ROI and ROE, challenges like declining annual profits and increasing liabilities signal the need for improved cost management and risk mitigation. Unilever's strategy emphasizes innovation and customer relationships, leveraging Total Quality Management (TQM) and continuous product enhancements. However, internal issues such as employee work culture, inadequate facilities, and employee satisfaction remain significant obstacles to organizational performance. The findings suggest a need for stronger employee engagement and workplace improvements, alongside enhanced financial sustainability strategies. Future research could explore how external factors, such as shifting market trends and government regulations, influence Unilever’s strategic decisions and overall success.

Toxic professional relationships—characterized by subtle exclusion, politicized decision-making, and emotional suppression—are a prevalent yet underexamined concern in academic institutions. This research emphasizes the psychological, pedagogical, and emotional repercussions for educators in situations characterized by workplace conflict, in contrast to prior studies that primarily examine structural factors. The study seeks to examine how educators perceive, interpret, and react to toxic dynamics, especially via reflective processes. We gathered data from three years of anonymized reflective journaling employing a qualitative, narrative-reflective methodology and conducted a theme analysis. Research highlights three main themes: the emotional effort needed to maintain professionalism despite feeling excluded, changes in teaching methods as a way to resist and find meaning, and how reflective practice helps teachers stay true to their teaching values. The analysis further demonstrates how gender and early-career status exacerbate susceptibility to toxic dynamics. The study prioritizes ethical contemplation as a transforming practice and a means of action instead of providing prescriptive solutions. Institutions should implement emotional intelligence training, equitable task allocation, and peer support mechanisms to cultivate more equal academic settings. This research advocates for a work culture founded on explicit performance expectations, mutual respect, compassion, and integrity in education, facilitating a deeper comprehension of teachers' authentic experiences in challenging school environments.

This study aims to improve the ability to write job application letters among 12th-grade students at SMK BAZNAS Makassar through a contextual approach.

The method used is Classroom Action Research (CAR) conducted in two cycles. Data collection techniques include observation, writing tests, and documentation. The results of the study show that the contextual approach significantly enhances students' ability to write job application letters, as evidenced by an increase in the average score from 68.5 in the pre-cycle to 81.2 at the end of the second cycle. This research recommends that Indonesian language teachers at vocational schools implement contextual approaches as an effective and relevant teaching strategy aligned with workplace demands.

In the era of rapid digitalization, the utilization of information technology in human resource management has become increasingly essential. This study examines the implementation of the Mekari Talenta digital attendance system in managing employee attendance administration at PT Hutama Marga Waskita. The objective of this research is to understand the extent of the system's application within the company, identify challenges encountered during its implementation, and explore the strategies employed to overcome these obstacles. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, involving both primary and secondary sources to gain a comprehensive understanding. The findings reveal that the transition from manual to digital attendance systems presents several challenges, including user negligence in recording attendance, an organizational culture that is not yet fully adaptive to digital systems, and the absence of automatic reminder features. Despite these challenges, the system offers significant benefits such as expediting attendance recap processes, integration with payroll, and providing flexible access to attendance through mobile devices. This research contributes to the existing literature on digital attendance management and provides recommendations for optimizing the use of digital attendance systems in modern workplaces.

The method used is a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that relationships between coworkers based on mutual trust, openness, and smooth communication can improve individual and team performance. Conversely, less harmonious work relationships can reduce work enthusiasm and hinder productivity. These findings indicate the importance of managing interpersonal relationships in the workplace as part of a strategy to improve overall organizational performance.

Gender equality in the workforce is a fundamental issue closely linked to human rights and sustainable economic development. This study examines the paradox in the implementation of maternity leave rights as part of the legal protection for female workers—where a right intended to provide protection instead becomes a barrier during recruitment processes. The aim of this research is to analyze the relationship between the provisions on maternity leave rights and the principle of legal equality in the workplace, as well as to identify efforts that companies can undertake to protect female workers from discrimination and to promote gender equality. This study employs normative legal research methods with a qualitative approach by analyzing various national and international regulations related to the protection of female workers. Primary data were obtained through an in-depth review of Undang-Undang No. 13 Tahun 2003 tentang Ketenagakerjaan, Undang-Undang Dasar Negara Republik Indonesia Tahun 1945, and their implementing regulations, as well as international conventions such as CEDAW and ILO standards. The analysis was carried out using a deductive approach to identify the gap between legal norms and the reality of their implementation in practice.

This paper discusses the visual design of character designs for an illustrated book that focuses on the problem of people pleasers among employees aged 22-30 years. People pleasers are individuals who tend to please others at the expense of themselves, which in the long term can trigger stress and mental disorders. The results of the study show that many young employees experience a dilemma between meeting other people's expectations and maintaining their own well-being. To convey this problem, four characters were designed. The main character is Tara, a people pleaser who undergoes a transformation into a more balanced individual in her work and personal life. Three supporting characters help strengthen the dynamics of conflict in the workplace, Mr. Johnson (Tara's demanding boss), Shinta (a supportive co-worker), and Felix (a senior co-worker). The character design process was carried out through several stages, including interviews with psychologists, illustrators, and employees, as well as qualitative data analysis from observations, Focus Group Discussions (FGD), and literature studies. The result is four characters executed in a simple illustration style with flat design and a limited color palette to emphasize the emotional atmosphere experienced by the characters. By exploring the right illustration style and color composition, this study designs characters that not only depict the reality of people pleasers in the workplace, but also function as visual educational media that helps readers understand the importance of setting boundaries at work and supports individuals in achieving inner peace and balance in life. Keywords: People pleaser, Persona, Illustration, Employee Character Design

This study examines the application of Article 362 jo Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code (KUHP) in the Kupang District Court Decision Number 170/Pid.B/2023 against the defendant Sherly Oktaviana Nggeon, who was proven to have committed the crime of repeatedly stealing gold at her workplace, Toko Mas Sahabat. This study aims to assess the accuracy of the application of criminal law norms to concrete facts revealed at the trial and analyze the judge's considerations both from juridical and non-juridical aspects in imposing a verdict. The method used is a normative juridical approach with secondary data sources obtained through literature studies of laws and regulations, doctrines, and court decisions. The results of the study show that although the panel of judges has formally applied Article 362 jo Article 64 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code by qualifying the defendant's actions as a continuing act (voortgezette handeling), this approach is not entirely appropriate substantively. The act of theft was carried out in different periods, against different objects, and accompanied by the forgery of a memorandum of sale of elements that can legally be qualified as a separate criminal offense based on Article 263 of the Criminal Code. However, in the judge's decision, this act of forgery was not explicitly considered either as an additional charge or as a burden of punishment. This raises the issue of justice, considering that the merging of all acts into one criminal act reduces the weight of criminal responsibility that the defendant should receive, and does not fully reflect the overall dimension of the crime committed. From a non-juridical aspect, the judge considered the defendant's background, good faith to return the damages, and the social and economic conditions of the defendant in imposing a two-year prison sentence. However, this consideration is considered disproportionate when compared to the amount of loss, the consistency of the evil act, and the existence of counterfeiting which contributes to aggravating the character of the crime. This study emphasizes the importance of a more comprehensive legal approach in qualifying compound crimes (concursus realis), as well as the need for judges to 

Violence against children and women at home and in the workplace is a serious social problem, but there has been little response from society and law enforcement. The National Child Protection Commission (KPAI, 2018) received complaints related to cases of physical violence and victimization of children as much as 72%, followed by psychological violence at 9%, economic violence or bullying/intimidation at 4%, and sexual violence at 2%. The National Children's Commission also reported that the majority of perpetrators of violence against children were parents, 44% of whom were biological mothers, 22% mothers and stepfathers, 18% biological fathers, and 8% caregivers. The aim of this activity is to increase respondents' knowledge regarding the impact of violence on mothers and children. Socialization methods in the form of lectures and questions and answers are used in this activity. It was found that respondents were very enthusiastic about listening to the material presented by the presenters. The conclusion from this activity is that violence against mothers and children must be opposed to prevent the impact that will occur on children.

This study explores the relationship between religiosity and Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) within contemporary organizations by adopting a positive psychology perspective. OCB is defined as discretionary behaviors by employees that go beyond their formal job duties and contribute positively to the overall functioning and success of the organization. Examples include helping colleagues, being punctual, and demonstrating initiative, which foster a cooperative and productive work environment. Religiosity, on the other hand, is understood as a belief system that shapes an individual’s values, attitudes, and behaviors, both intrinsically—stemming from internal spiritual commitment—and extrinsically—motivated by external social or cultural influences. Through a systematic review of ten national and international academic journals, this study identifies several common dimensions of OCB, such as altruism (helping others selflessly), civic virtue (active and responsible participation in organizational affairs), and conscientiousness (going beyond minimal job requirements). The findings reveal a consistent positive correlation between religiosity and OCB, especially in sectors like education, Islamic banking, and healthcare, where religious principles strongly influence organizational culture. The integration of religious values into organizational practices encourages employees to exhibit behaviors that promote harmony, ethical conduct, and a sense of community within the workplace. This is particularly evident in employees who possess high levels of intrinsic religiosity, as their internalized beliefs motivate them to engage in prosocial actions that benefit the organization. The study recommends that human resource management strategies incorporate religious or spiritual values to cultivate a positive organizational culture. Such integration can be achieved through training programs, leadership development, and reward systems that emphasize ethical behavior and social responsibility, ultimately leading to improved employee satisfaction, loyalty, and overall organizational performance.

This study uses qualitative methods to analyze the law on menstrual leave and maternity leave rights in the practice of the workplace in Indonesia. This study aims to examine the implementation of Law Number 13 of 2003 concerning Manpower which provides menstrual leave and maternity leave rights for female workers, and examines the obstacles faced in its implementation in various companies. The results of the study indicate that although the legal framework has clearly regulated these rights, their implementation in the field is still not optimal. The main obstacles found include the lack of understanding and awareness of workers and employers, weak government supervision, and the existence of cultural stigma and discrimination related to menstruation and pregnancy. In addition, several companies still implement policies that are not in accordance with regulations, such as salary deductions or restrictions on leave rights. This study recommends increasing the socialization of regulations, strengthening supervision, and enforcing strict sanctions so that legal protection for menstrual leave and maternity leave rights can be realized fairly and effectively, thereby supporting social justice and the protection of female workers in Indonesia.  

This study uses a qualitative method to examine legal protection for female workers who experience discrimination in employment relationships. Discrimination against women in the workplace remains prevalent, taking forms such as unequal pay, limited opportunities for promotion, and sexual harassment, all of which affect their safety and comfort at work. Legal protection for female workers is regulated by various laws, including the Manpower Act, the Human Rights Act, and ILO conventions ratified by Indonesia. However, the implementation of these protections is often ineffective due to weak law enforcement, limited awareness among female workers regarding their rights, and the persistence of patriarchal culture. This study aims to analyze the extent to which legal regulations and their implementation function effectively, as well as the obstacles female workers face in claiming their rights. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, literature review, and document analysis. The findings indicate the need to strengthen labor inspection institutions and provide legal education for female workers to achieve justice in employment relationships.  

The transformation of the workplace driven by digitalization and generational value shifts has introduced new challenges in maintaining ethical and organizational culture, particularly among Millennials and Gen Z. This study aims to examine the extent to which Islamic values—especially through Islamic Work Ethics (IWE) and spiritual intelligence—are integrated in shaping the work culture of young professionals. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected via surveys from 150 respondents working in the startup, Islamic banking, and educational sectors in the Greater Jakarta area. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and path analysis via SmartPLS. The results show that both IWE and spiritual intelligence have a positive and significant effect on work culture, with a combined contribution of 56%. These findings indicate that integrating Islamic values can foster an ethical, productive, and spiritually aligned work culture among younger generations. The study has theoretical implications for developing a contextual Islamic work culture framework, and practical implications for organizations seeking to design policies grounded in spiritual and Islamic ethical principles

This study aims to explore the meaning of work ethics in relation to employees’ mental health within the café industry, with a specific focus on Ox Coffee in Medan. Utilizing a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with five permanent employees across various roles. The findings indicate that the application of work ethics at Ox Coffee encompasses discipline, responsibility, open communication, customer service, and skills development. Employees perceive work ethics as a guide for managing job-related stress, a foundation for psychological well-being, a contributor to professional identity, and a mechanism for reducing workplace conflict and tension. Key factors such as fairness in task distribution, constructive communication, recognition of employee contributions, and work-life balance were found to significantly influence mental health. The study recommends strategies including the development of a supportive and inclusive work culture, skills training, effective communication systems, and mental health programs to foster a psychologically healthy workplace in the café sector.

Occupational diseases continue to pose significant challenges to worker health and productivity worldwide. This integrative literature review analyzes ten selected journal articles from 2019 to 2025 that discuss the role of early detection and workplace health interventions in preventing occupational diseases. Findings reveal that medical surveillance, routine check-ups, and AI-based stress detection technologies are effective tools for identifying health risks at an early stage. Workplace interventions such as ergonomic programs, chemical exposure controls, and community-based health promotion show measurable improvements in worker health and compliance with safety protocols. The Total Worker Health® framework by NIOSH emerges as a comprehensive strategy to integrate health protection and promotion in the workplace. However, implementation gaps remain, particularly in the informal sector, due to limited infrastructure and low awareness. This study concludes that combining early detection with structured health interventions, supported by strong policy and stakeholder involvement, is key to reducing occupational disease burdens.
