This research is motivated by the problem of the open unemployment rate in Maluku Province which is still fluctuating, where the influence of human capital indicators such as the Average Years of Schooling and the Gross Enrollment Rate of Senior High Schools as well as economic policies such as the Provincial Minimum Wage often show results inconsistent with theory, thus requiring further empirical studies to determine their influence in the region. The purpose of this study is to analyze and determine the partial and simultaneous effects of the average years of schooling, the gross enrollment rate of senior high schools, and the provincial minimum wage on the open unemployment rate in Maluku Province. The method used is quantitative with secondary data in the form of time series from 2015 to 2024 sourced from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) of Maluku Province, and analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. The results show that the average years of schooling have a negative and significant effect, while the gross enrollment rate of senior high schools and the provincial minimum wage each have a positive insignificant and negative insignificant effect on the open unemployment rate. Simultaneously, the three variables also have no significant effect. The implications of these findings confirm that increasing the average length of schooling is a key factor in reducing unemployment, but policies related to minimum wages and high school participation need to be reviewed and combined with other policies to be more effective in addressing unemployment in Maluku Province.

This study aims to analyze the effect of social media advertising exposure and digital financial literacy on consumptive behavior, with self-control as a mediating variable among 11th grade high school students in Kotabumi Selatan District. This quantitative study involved 267 respondents from five public and private high schools selected using proportional sampling techniques. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM).

Vocational High School 2 Purbalingga will continue to face challenges related to teacher performance in 2024. Based on pre-research results and the data obtained, a shortage of teaching staff has been identified, leading to excessive teaching loads and hours, job stress, and dissatisfaction among some teachers with their compensation. This study aims to determine the extent to which job stress, workload, and compensation influence teacher performance at Vocational High School 2 Purbalingga. This study used a quantitative method with a survey approach. The population in this study was all 84 teachers, all of whom were sampled using a saturated sampling technique. Data processing was performed using SPSS version 25. The results showed that job stress had no effect on teacher performance, while workload and compensation had a significant effect. Simultaneously, job stress, workload, and compensation influenced teacher performance. The coefficient of determination value of 0.451 indicates that these three variables influence teacher performance by 45.1%, while the remaining 54.9% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study.

This study investigates KIDI IoT, an educational service by PT Telkom Indonesia designed to bridge the skills gap between Vocational High School (SMK) graduates and the demands of the Industry 4.0 workforce. The primary objective was to assess the extent to which the KIDI IoT service fulfilled the requirements of educators and learners to substantiate its value proposition. A qualitative, exploratory methodology was employed utilizing in-depth interviews and the Value Proposition Canvas (VPC) framework for analysis. The outcomes demonstrate how effectively the program's project-based, experiential approach increases user motivation and offers a practical, industry-relevant learning environment. The service successfully generates the desired customer benefits. A major customer pain point that the current model ignores is that participants often expressed that the two-day offline training period was insufficient to help them master the material or build their confidence for working independently. This led to a significant misalignment. The KIDI IoT value proposition is fundamentally strong and well-regarded; however, the study concludes that its implementation necessitates improvement, particularly through the provision of more specialized teacher training and an extended training duration, to ensure sustained impact and skill acquisition.

The purpose of this study is to investigate in depth the mediating role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) in the relationship between organizational commitment and work motivation on teacher performance at Saraswati Elementary School, Denpasar. This research is motivated by the crucial role of teachers as the spearhead of educational success, making understanding the factors influencing teacher performance highly relevant. The study population comprised 175 teachers, with a sample size of 85 respondents determined using the Hair formula. Data collection involved a combination of structured questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and supporting document analysis to strengthen the findings. Path analysis was used to examine direct and indirect relationships between variables. The results indicate that organizational commitment has a positive and significant effect on OCB, indicating that the higher a teacher's commitment to the school, the greater their tendency to exhibit extra-role behavior. Similar findings were also evident for work motivation, where high motivation significantly increased OCB. Furthermore, organizational commitment was shown to have a direct, positive, and significant relationship with teacher performance, and work motivation also plays a significant role in improving performance. OCB itself also has a significant influence on strengthening teacher performance.  This study specifically confirms that OCB acts as a mediator in the relationship between organizational commitment and work motivation on teacher performance. Thus, the results of this study underscore the crucial role of OCB as a bridge connecting internal factors such as commitment and motivation with optimal work results. The practical implication of this research is the need for schools to strengthen organizational commitment and motivate teachers to develop citizenship behaviors that ultimately drive sustainable performance improvement.

Pesantren, as an Islamic educational institution that has long been a center of religious learning and character development, has great potential in advancing entrepreneurship based on local wisdom. The role of pesantren is not only limited to teaching religious studies, but also includes coaching students to have economic independence and competitiveness in the midst of the Times. Local wisdom that grows around pesantren can be an important capital in developing businesses that are relevant to the needs of the community. However, optimizing the function of pesantren in producing students who are independent and able to compete still faces various challenges. One of the main obstacles is the development of Human Resources (HR) which is not only oriented to mastering the theory, but also on practical skills and understanding of local values. Without the right strategy, such great potential is difficult to realize sustainably. This study aims to explore strategies that can be applied in the development of human resources in order to improve the performance of local wisdom-based entrepreneurship in the boarding school. The research method used is a qualitative approach with case studies on several boarding schools that have succeeded in forming productive business units by utilizing local potential, such as agriculture, fisheries, crafts, and food product processing. Research findings indicate that several crucial factors in building entrepreneurial human resources in pesantren include: strengthening character and work ethic, hands-on practice-based training in the field, collaboration with local business actors for knowledge transfer and market networking, as well as historical and philosophical understanding of local wisdom values. The success of entrepreneurship development in pesantren depends on the integration of spiritual aspects, practical skills, and knowledge about the potential of the region. Based on the results of the study, an integrated entrepreneurship training model that combines science, faith, and concrete action is recommended. This Model is expected to produce great pesantren entrepreneurs, competitive, and able to adapt and face global challenges without leaving their identity and noble values.
