This research intends to examine novel performance management techniques for Civil Servants (ASN) to improve bureaucratic professionalism at the Regional Civil Service Agency (BKD) in Sidoarjo Regency. The research arises from the increasing use of digital performance systems via the e-Performance application, which has yet to show notable changes in behavior among bureaucrats. The study examines the efficiency of the e-Performance system, organizational culture, leadership roles, and management innovations at BKD. Employing a qualitative case study method, data were gathered through extensive interviews, observations, and document review with structural officials and staff. The results indicate that the e-Performance system has enhanced administrative efficiency and transparency, yet it still falls short in fostering employee participation and feedback processes. Deficiencies in digital skills and insufficient training for fostering culture were noted as well. The research suggests fostering a reflective workplace culture centered on recognition, ongoing digital skills training, and establishing a reciprocal feedback mechanism in performance assessments. Working with outside organizations is crucial to maintain accountability and impartiality. These results are anticipated to enhance ASN professionalism and foster an adaptive, innovative bureaucracy in the era of digital governance.

Cervical cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in the cervix caused by infection with the Human Papilloma Virus, acquired through sexual intercourse. Indonesia ranks 8th in the highest incidence of cancer in Southeast Asia, the highest prevalence of cancer is Yogyakarta Province where Sleman Regency ranks the highest IVA positive at 2.5% and Halis IVA at the Pakem Health Center is suspected of cervical cancer reaching 13 out of 22 positive IVA results. This achievement is still very low, because there is still low public awareness to carry out early detection of cervical cancer. To determine the relationship between attitude and behavior for early detection of cervical cancer. Quantitative research with a Case Control approach. A sample of 160 women with a proportional sampling technique. Data collection was in the form of filling out questionnaires online using Google Forms with chi square test data analysis and logistic regression. There was a relationship between positive attitude p-value=0.017 and OR of 3.462, women aged >35 years p- value=0.038, multipara parity p-value=0.007, with early detection behavior of cervical cancer. Parity provided a great chance of 7,038 times that women performed early detection behaviors of cervical cancer (CT 95%= 0.187-264,350). To improve early detection examinations, health workers can design health education and promotion models, increase educational socialization to cadres, the public and the community continuously and sustainably.

This study assesses the influence of organizational culture, physical work environment, and non-physical work environment on employee performance at UD. Sumber Rejeki. Organizational culture is understood as the values, norms, and patterns of behavior agreed upon by members. The physical work environment refers to tangible conditions such as layout, lighting, and cleanliness. The non-physical work environment relates to the psychological climate and social relationships in the workplace. The research design is quantitative with a census or saturated sample technique. All 32 employees were respondents. The instrument was compiled using a Likert scale. The data were processed using SPSS 25. The analysis stages included validity, reliability, normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, multiple linear regression, t-test for partial effects, f-test for simultaneous effects, and the coefficient of determination R². The partial test results showed that organizational culture did not have a significant effect on employee performance. Conversely, the physical work environment and non-physical work environment had a positive and significant effect. The simultaneous test confirmed that the three variables together had a positive and significant effect on performance. These findings indicate that improvements in physical aspects such as room comfort, equipment, and safety standards, as well as strengthening non-physical aspects such as supervisor support, role clarity, and communication, are more directly related to performance improvement than existing cultural characteristics. In practical terms, management needs to prioritize programs to improve the physical work environment and psychological climate, accompanied by periodic evaluations so that the impact can be measured against performance indicators.

Investment decision-making among millennials in Indonesia is not only influenced by rational considerations but also by behavioral and psychological factors, which can be explained using the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB). Millennials represent the most active group in adopting digital financial services and participating in various capital market instruments, making it important to understand the determinants of their investment behavior. This study aims to analyze the influence of financial literacy, risk tolerance, financial attitude, and investment experience on investment decisions among millennial employees. The research employed a quantitative design by distributing structured questionnaires to 100 respondents selected using an incidental sampling technique. The study population consisted of millennial employees working at BRI Tower 2, Jakarta. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Squares (PLS) approach, processed through SmartPLS version 4.1.1.2. The results indicate that financial literacy, risk tolerance, and financial attitude significantly and positively affect investment decisions, whereas investment experience has a positive but insignificant effect. These findings confirm the TPB framework, in which financial literacy and financial attitude strengthen attitude toward behavior, while risk tolerance reflects perceived behavioral control. However, investment experience alone is not sufficient to consistently shape rational decision-making. This research contributes theoretically to behavioral finance studies and extends the application of TPB in the context of investment behavior. Practically, the findings imply the need for organizations and policymakers to design targeted financial literacy programs and initiatives that foster positive financial attitudes. Strengthening these aspects is expected to encourage sustainable and rational investment practices among young employees in Indonesia.

Extreme poverty remains a major challenge in rural areas of Indonesia, including Nagori Bandar Manik, Pamatang Sidamanik District, Simalungun Regency. The 2025 UINSU Community Service Program (KKN) was carried out to empower local communities through various activities covering economic, educational, religious, social-environmental, and health aspects. This program employed a qualitative approach by involving active community participation in needs assessment, socialization, training, and evaluation. In the economic aspect, workshops on dishwashing liquid and herbal pesticide production were implemented as alternative household businesses. The educational sector included religious moderation through a short movie screening Mabbere, anti-bullying campaigns, ecoprint totebag training, and teaching at kindergarten, elementary, and junior high school levels. In the religious field, activities included Qur’an learning after Maghrib with children and Yasin recitals for both men and women. The social-environmental aspect was realized through community clean-up, educational boards on waste decomposition, distribution of garbage bins, and environmental awareness campaigns. Meanwhile, the health aspect focused on education about clean and healthy living behaviors, stunting prevention campaigns, and community exercise. The findings revealed improvements in entrepreneurial skills, children’s literacy, spiritual values, environmental awareness, and healthy lifestyles. The implication highlights that multidimensional community empowerment can serve as an effective strategy to reduce extreme poverty and promote sustainable village development.  

This study examines the role of organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) as a moderator in the relationship between employee engagement, job satisfaction, and employee performance at the Tarokan District Office in Kediri Regency. The research focuses on analyzing how these variables interact and influence each other within the organizational context. The findings indicate that employee engagement has a significant impact on employee performance. This suggests that when employees are more engaged in their work, they tend to exhibit higher levels of performance. Similarly, job satisfaction also significantly influences employee performance. Employees who are satisfied with their work environment and tasks tend to perform better in their roles. However, the study reveals that organizational citizenship behavior does not significantly influence employee performance. This implies that while OCB is often considered a valuable aspect of employee behavior, it does not directly affect how well employees perform their tasks in this particular setting. Additionally, employee engagement does not significantly affect organizational citizenship behavior, indicating that engaged employees do not necessarily engage in extra-role behaviors like helping others or going beyond job requirements. The research also shows that job satisfaction does not have a significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior, which suggests that employees’ satisfaction with their work does not automatically lead to behaviors that contribute to the broader success of the organization. Furthermore, neither employee engagement nor job satisfaction significantly influences employee performance through organizational citizenship behavior, indicating that OCB does not serve as an effective moderator in these relationships. In conclusion, the main factor in improving employee performance is organizational citizenship behavior does not play a significant moderating role in this dynamic at the Tarokan District Office.

The Student Evaluation of Lecturers (EDOM) at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Dr. Soetomo has historically been conducted via Google Forms and processed manually, resulting in slow response times, repetitive recap procedures, and insufficiently documented reporting validity. This study aims to design, build, and evaluate a web-based EDOM system using the Prototype Model (MODEL PROTOTYPE) to improve data collection efficiency, recap accuracy, and the effectiveness of feedback for teaching quality assurance. The development method comprises requirements elicitation with the Quality Assurance Unit through a review of SPMI documents and brief interviews, architectural and interface design (Laravel, MVC pattern, and MySQL), staged prototyping, and rapid iterations based on stakeholder feedback until functional conformity is achieved. The resulting system provides authentication and role-based authorization (Admin, GPM, Lecturer, Student), odd/even period management, a question bank employing a Likert scale, anonymous questionnaire submission, score recap per lecturer and per category (pedagogical, professional, personal, social), dashboard visualizations, and report export to support governance needs. Functional evaluation was conducted through black-box testing on core scenarios (login, period scheduling, submission, recap, and export) and indicated conformance to specifications. User acceptance evaluation employed the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to examine perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, attitude toward use, and behavioral intention; the results indicate positive acceptance and potential for operational adoption. Practically, the prototype approach accelerates requirement alignment, reduces the risk of mis-specification, and facilitates change control, while the Laravel-based implementation supports maintainability, role-based access security, and further feature development. The study is limited to a single faculty; future work may include SSO integration, audit trails, and longitudinal, cross-semester analytics for more comprehensive monitoring of lecturer performance.

A partnership agreement is a form of business collaboration, either directly or indirectly, that is established based on the principles of mutual need, mutual trust, mutual reinforcement, and mutual benefit. Such partnerships generally involve Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) working with larger businesses in order to create a fairer and more sustainable business relationship. However, in practice, the implementation of partnership agreements often does not reflect these fundamental principles. This is also evident in the nucleus-plasma scheme within the palm oil plantation sector, where the relationship between the nucleus companies and plasma farmers tends to show an imbalance of bargaining power. This study aims to examine the application of partnership principles in the implementation of nucleus-plasma agreements in palm oil plantations, viewed from the perspective of prevailing legislation, particularly the Law on Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSME Law). The findings indicate that the application of partnership principles has not yet been fully implemented consistently. The partnership relationship remains unequal and is largely dominated by the nucleus companies, creating a sense of injustice for plasma farmers. In terms of supervision, the Indonesian Business Competition Supervisory Commission (KPPU) plays a crucial role in ensuring that partnership agreements are carried out in line with these principles. One of the measures taken is monitoring the implementation of behavioral change commitments by business actors. KPPU ensures that nucleus companies do not abuse their dominant position and continue to provide fair opportunities for plasma farmers. Therefore, this study highlights the importance of strengthening oversight and enforcing regulations so that the objectives of nucleus-plasma partnerships in palm oil plantations can truly be realized in accordance with the principles mandated by law.

Nurses' caring behavior is a fundamental element in quality healthcare services. However, pressures such as high workload and burnout can hinder its implementation. This study aims to analyze the relationship between workload and burnout on the caring behavior of nurses in the Inpatient Ward of “X” Hospital. The research method used is quantitative with a cross-sectional design, involving 96 practicing nurses through a total sampling technique. Data were collected using the Subjective Workload Assessment Technique (SWAT) questionnaire, the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and a caring behavior questionnaire based on Jean Watson's theory. The results showed that the workload (p<0.001) and burnout (p<0.001) variables have a significant negative relationship with caring behavior. Logistic regression analysis identified workload as the more dominant factor influencing caring behavior. Simultaneously, these two independent variables could explain 57.9% of the variance in nurses' caring behavior. This study concludes that an increase in workload and burnout levels significantly decreases nurses' caring behavior, making workload management a priority intervention to improve the quality of nursing care.

The phenomenon of poor emotional management among students, such as irritability, low empathy, and lack of cooperation skills, poses a challenge in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning. This study aims to examine the dimensions of students’ emotional intelligence in the context of PAI learning based on the theories of Daniel Goleman and Salovey-Mayer. Using a literature review approach and qualitative content analysis, this research explores various theories, empirical research findings, and expert opinions derived from relevant journals, books, and scholarly works. The results indicate that emotional intelligence plays a crucial role in the success of PAI learning, particularly in shaping students’ character, Islamic morals, and social skills. Goleman’s theory, which emphasizes five main dimensions self-awareness, self-regulation, motivation, empathy, and social skills can be integrated with the Salovey-Mayer model, which outlines the abilities of perceiving, understanding, and managing emotions cognitively. These dimensions can be synergistically implemented in the PAI learning process to achieve holistic Islamic education goals. In this context, PAI learning is not only oriented toward the transfer of religious knowledge but also toward the formation of an Islamic personality through the integration of emotional management with Islamic values. Teachers, as uswah hasanah (exemplary role models), play a vital role in demonstrating emotional management aligned with Islamic teachings, guiding students through the habituation of Islamic behavior, and providing direction that encourages discipline in worship. A comprehensive understanding of Islam, combined with emotional management skills, shapes students who are not only intellectually intelligent but also emotionally and spiritually mature.

Shadow puppet craft training is a strategic intervention in preserving cultural heritage and strengthening the creative economy sector in Indonesia. To ensure the effectiveness and efficiency of training, a planning approach is needed that is not only conventional, but also based on quantitative analysis and intelligent systems. This community service proposes a training planning strategy using an interdisciplinary approach involving Operation Research, Design of Experiment (DoE), Simulation, Metaheuristic Algorithms, and Data Mining. This study begins with the identification of key training variables, such as duration, number of participants, initial competency level, teaching materials, and instructor resources. Through the DoE approach, various combinations of variables are systematically tested to identify the optimal training design. Next, Simulation is used to model the dynamics of training implementation and evaluate implementation scenarios. To predict training needs and participant behavior, Data Mining techniques are applied to historical data of arts community training. In the final stage, Metaheuristic algorithms such as Genetic Algorithm and Simulated Annealing are used to solve complex and large-scale scheduling and resource allocation problems. The results of the integration of these approaches show an increase in training efficiency of up to 27% as well as increased participant satisfaction and the quality of work results. This activity demonstrates that applying a quantitative, data-driven approach to traditional crafts training planning can provide significant added value. This model can be replicated in other training programs based on local wisdom and other creative industry sectors.

Background: Thesis or Final Assignment is a form of student work that has gone through learning various sciences, skills and knowledge in accordance with the established curriculum. Self-confidence is the ability to believe, understand, develop positive self-assessment in the desired behavior to achieve certain achievements. Meanwhile, intensity can be interpreted as a strength that shows a condition such as a strong or serious spirit that a person has in the form of attitudes or actions. Method: This research is a type of quantitative research with a cros sectional research design. Data collection was carried out using questionnaires. The number of respondents was 70 people using Probability Sampling Technique. The data obtained was processed statistically using the spearman test. Results: Based on the analysis results, it was found that of the 70 research respondents, most of the characteristics of the respondents were female (65.7%). Meanwhile, the research results showed that students with a high level of self-confidence (20.0%), had a very high level of self-confidence (80.0%). Respondents had a low intensity of reading the Koran, namely (1.4%), a moderate intensity of reading the Koran was (94.3%), while those in the high category were (4.3%). Conclution: From the results of this research, it can be concluded that students at the Faculty of Islamic Studies at the Sultan Agung Islamic University, Semarang, have proven that there is no strong relationship between the intensity of reading the Al-Quran and the level of self-confidence (p value > 0.05) using the Spearman test.

The implementation of a system commonly known as Good Governance refers to the extent to which the government is able to meet the needs and expectations of society through its policies, programs, and actions. The application of Good Governance is not only related to the effectiveness of bureaucracy but also emphasizes principles of transparency, accountability, participation, and fairness in governance. This is crucial because it has a direct impact on improving the quality of public services, which is one of the key indicators of government success. However, achieving the goals of Good Governance is not an easy task, as in practice, there are various challenges and obstacles that must be addressed. One of the most common barriers is the weakness of internal control systems, which should serve as oversight of employee performance. In addition, there remains a shortage of employees with adequate competencies, as well as work environments that do not fully support the implementation of accountable behavior. These conditions can hinder the achievement of the expected standards of Good Governance. Therefore, deepening and internalizing accountable behavior among government employees is highly important. Accountable behavior is not only related to an individual’s responsibility for their tasks but also to the outcomes of their work, which directly affect the wider community. The findings of this study indicate that accountable behavior has been practiced by employees, yet its implementation must be carried out consistently and continuously. Strengthening accountable behavior is thus expected to enhance the assessment of Good Governance implementation, particularly in the Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) region, which is characterized by high levels of governmental complexity and public service demands.

Port logistics efficiency is determined not only by the adequacy of infrastructure and the advancement of technology but also by the motivation of the workforce and the overall quality of the work environment. This study investigates how these two factors influence employee performance in the Warehouse Division of PT Yusen Logistics Indonesia. The research employed qualitative methods, gathering data through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis, with participation from warehouse workers, supervisors, and safety officers. Through thematic analysis, the study found that employee recognition and active supervisory engagement were key contributors to workforce motivation. The work environment, characterized by equipment reliability, safety culture, and yard capacity, directly impacted employee productivity. When both motivation and work environment were favorable, employees exhibited greater procedural compliance, increased throughput, and improved safety practices. In contrast, inadequate motivation and unfavorable work conditions resulted in inefficiencies, downtime, and higher risk-taking behaviors. This study’s findings provide insights into three key areas: maritime economics by highlighting labor’s critical role in port operations, social management by establishing the link between environmental quality and workforce productivity, and vocational education by shaping the training of cadets and practitioners. It underscores that sustainable port operations require human-centered strategies, in addition to infrastructure development. For better performance, companies should prioritize motivating their workforce and improving the work environment to foster a more efficient and safer operational setting.

Stunting is a chronic nutritional problem that impacts the physical growth and cognitive development of children, one of the causes is inappropriate parenting patterns such as exclusive breastfeeding, diet, and lack of nutritional fulfillment so that children are at risk of malnutrition. In Jember Regency itself, the high rate of stunting is a serious challenge for the government and the community that needs to be addressed. The selection of Gunungmalang Village as the location of community service is based on the high rate of stunting and early marriage as one of the causes of stunting. This community service activity began with training for Family Support Team (TPK) and Posyandu cadres, outreach to pregnant women, parents of infants/toddlers regarding the prevention and treatment of stunting, and a cooking demonstration of vegetable nuggets as an output of the activity by utilizing food ingredients that are easily available in the Gunungmalang community as an initial step to fulfill the nutrition of toddlers. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach as a method from a case study of scientific paper research that describes factually and in detail related to the activities of the CINTA (Prevent Stunting and Increase Nutrition) work program. The objective of this scientific study is to implement a community service program through collaborative Community Service Programs (KKN) to prevent and address stunting in Gunungmalang Village. Data collection techniques used triangulation (observation, interviews, and documentation). This study demonstrates that the implementation of the community service program has a positive impact on increasing community awareness and changing behavior regarding stunting
