The police institution is a law enforcement agency whose operational effectiveness heavily depends on the management of human resources to support organizational development and sustainability. The Directorate of Special Criminal Investigation (Ditreskrimsus) holds a strategic role in handling specialized and complex crimes. Its duties involve addressing various forms of criminal activity with high levels of risk and uncertainty. Such risks are often unpredictable and may arise suddenly. Continuous readiness and sustained vigilance in diverse situations can serve as significant sources of work-related stress. One strategy to mitigate work stress is by enhancing Quality of Work Life (QWL). This study aims to examine the relationship between QWL and work stress among members of the Ditreskrimsus of Polda Jambi. A quantitative approach with a correlational research design was employed, involving 115 members selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected online using questionnaires consisting of a QWL scale and a Work Stress scale. Correlation analysis conducted using SPSS indicated that the majority of respondents were in the moderate category. The findings revealed a significant negative relationship between QWL and Work Stress, with a correlation coefficient of r = -0.549 and a significance level of p < 0.001. These results underscore the importance of continuously improving various aspects of QWL as an effective strategy to prevent and reduce work-related stress.

This study examines public perceptions of the practice of "dawn attack" in the 2024 election, which is a form of money politics that is still rampant in Indonesia. This study aims to understand how the public assesses the impact of such practices on democratic integrity and voter behavior. This study involved 101 respondents with diverse backgrounds, the majority of whom were students, and some came from other professions such as civil servants, teachers, entrepreneurs, and medical personnel.

The results of the study showed that the majority of respondents considered the dawn attack as a form of political manipulation that undermined the principle of fairness in elections. As many as 56.4% of respondents admitted that they had seen or knew of this practice, with the main impact in the form of temporary economic benefits and changes in voter behavior. This study highlights the importance of concrete steps in suppressing the practice of money politics, including through stricter law enforcement and political education for the public. Thus, this research is expected to contribute to efforts to create a fairer, more transparent, and democratic electoral system in the future.
