This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation, transformational leadership style, and career development on employee performance through job satisfaction at the Dinas PUPR Kabupaten Kutai Timur. This research uses quantitative explanatory method with SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares) analysis. The population consists of 120 employees with a sample of 93 respondents determined using the Slovin formula with 5% margin of error and simple random sampling technique. Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire (1-5). The results show that career development has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction (original sample 0.574, p-value 0.000), and transformational leadership style has a significant positive effect on employee performance (original sample 0.540, p-value 0.000). However, work motivation and transformational leadership style do not significantly affect job satisfaction, and work motivation and career development do not directly affect employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction fails to mediate the relationship between work motivation, transformational leadership style, and career development on employee performance. The R-Square values indicate that the predictor variables explain 40.4% of job satisfaction variance and 40.1% of employee performance variance.

This study aims to analyze the effect of career development and organizational culture on employee productivity through job satisfaction at the Office of Community and Village Empowerment (DPMD) in East Kutai Regency. The research employs a quantitative explanatory approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. Total sampling was applied, involving all 90 employees of the office as respondents. Data were collected through questionnaires with Likert scale measurements. The results demonstrate that career development has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction (coefficient = 0.295, T = 2.532, p = 0.011), and organizational culture has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction (coefficient = 0.441, T = 4.071, p = 0.000). However, career development, organizational culture, and job satisfaction do not have a significant direct effect on employee productivity (H3 through H7 rejected). The coefficient of determination for job satisfaction is 43.1%, indicating that both independent variables explain 43.1% of job satisfaction variance. These findings suggest that although career development and organizational culture successfully improve job satisfaction, mechanisms beyond satisfaction are needed to translate that satisfaction into measurable productivity at DPMD.

The increasingly dynamic organizational environment demands strategic human resource management to maintain competitiveness and achieve organizational goals. Performance appraisal serves not only as an evaluation tool but also as the basis for decision-making regarding employee career development. This study aims to analyze the impact of performance appraisal on career development based on various empirical research findings. The method used is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) with the PRISMA framework and a descriptive-qualitative approach. Data were obtained from scientific articles on Google Scholar, Garuda, and ScienceDirect containing quantitative studies from the 2022–2026 period. The data were then analyzed using narrative synthesis to identify patterns of relationships between performance appraisal and career development. The results of the study indicate that performance appraisal has a positive and significant effect on employee career development. An objective, transparent, and measurable appraisal system helps organizations identify employee potential, enhance competencies, determine training needs, and support promotions and career opportunities. These findings align with Performance Management Theory, Human Capital Theory, Goal-Setting Theory, and Expectancy Theory. Therefore, the integration of performance appraisal and career development is a key strategy in building a competent, productive, and sustainable workforce.

Teenage students in secondary school face a critical period in making career decisions, but many of them experience confusion and anxiety during this phase. This study aims to explore how self-efficacy and family support influence career decision-making among high school students or their equivalents. Qualitative research methods were used through a literature review, collecting data from various sources including journals, scientific studies, and related books. The results of the study show that self-efficacy significantly increases students' maturity and clarity in choosing their career paths. In addition, family support, both emotional and practical, plays an important role in increasing students' confidence and determination in choosing a career. The interaction between internal elements (self-efficacy) and external factors (family support) greatly influences the career decision-making process. This study highlights the importance of collaboration between schools and families in providing career guidance, social skills development, and effective communication so that students can make appropriate and realistic career decisions in line with their abilities and the demands of the job market. Students' willingness is shaped by internal influences such as self-efficacy and external influences such as family support. This study is important for understanding the role of these two factors in the career decision-making of high school students.

The low level of academic motivation and the assumption that higher education does not always guarantee economic well-being have become major factors contributing to the declining interest of some senior high school students in pursuing higher education. This issue poses a serious challenge to human resource development, particularly in the field of legal studies. Such conditions are influenced by various factors, including limited understanding of the prospects and opportunities within legal education. The purpose of this community service activity was to provide information and understanding through repeated socialization programs aimed at strengthening students’ interest in legal studies through higher education combined with the development of entrepreneurial spirit among senior high school students. This program was intended to motivate students regarding career opportunities in the legal field as well as the integration of entrepreneurial skills within the professional legal sector. The results of the activities, which were conducted through lectures, discussions, and counseling methods, were successful in improving students’ understanding of the strategic role of legal studies in society, accompanied by insights into business and profession opportunities based on legal knowledge. Consequently, the program succeeded in increasing students’ motivation to continue their education at the university level. The entrepreneurial approach also fostered independent, creative, and adaptive mindsets toward the development of the modern labor market. Therefore, strengthening interest in legal studies through higher education and entrepreneurship education represents a strategic step in creating a competitive, ethical, and future-oriented younger generation

Employee engagement is critical to organizational performance, employee well-being, and long-term sustainability. In hybrid work contexts, generational differences have become increasingly evident, particularly between Generation Y and Generation Z employees. Generation Y tends to emphasize work–life balance, career development, and meaningful collaboration, while Generation Z prioritizes flexibility, job security, digital integration, and the use of technology in the workplace. This study adopts a systematic literature review (SLR) approach by synthesizing findings from various peer-reviewed studies related to employee engagement and hybrid work practices across generations. The review focuses on identifying key factors that influence employee engagement in modern work environments. The results indicate that hybrid work can significantly enhance employee engagement when organizations provide flexibility, autonomy, adequate technological support, professional development opportunities, and fair reward systems. In addition, supportive organizational culture and effective leadership are important in maintaining employee motivation and commitment. However, differences in generational expectations require organizations to implement adaptive managerial strategies, including flexible work policies, personalized communication approaches, and inclusive leadership practices to strengthen employee engagement across different generations in hybrid work settings.

This study aims to analyze the effect of training and career development on employee performance at PT XYZ Teknik. The study used a quantitative approach with a survey method.

This study examines the interrelationships between service orientation, career planning behaviours, training expectations, and self-efficacy among undergraduate students preparing for service industry careers. Methods: Using a quantitative correlational design, data were collected from 202 undergraduate students via a structured questionnaire. Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine relationships among key variables. Findings: Service orientation demonstrated significant positive correlations with all other constructs (r = .205 to .275, p < .01), positioning it as a central element in career preparation. The strongest correlation was observed between career research and clear career goals (r = .407, p < .01), while clear career goals and training relevance showed no significant relationship (r = .119, p > .05). Implications: The findings suggest that service orientation should be integrated into career development programs and that holistic approaches addressing multiple constructs simultaneously may be particularly effective. Originality: This study extends Social Cognitive Career Theory by incorporating service orientation as a key variable and applies service-dominant logic to career preparation processes.

Self-development is a crucial competence for navigating the professional world; however, many individuals face significant barriers in optimizing this potential. This study aims to formulate an integrative model of Quranic Tadabur and bibliotherapy as a professional therapeutic intervention in counseling, addressing gaps in existing literature. Using a library research method with content analysis, the findings indicate that Quranic Tadabur effectively enhances essential self-development skills, including self-awareness, work motivation, problem-solving, time management, emotional regulation, critical and creative thinking, and social collaboration. Within the bibliotherapy framework, the self-development process is structured through stages of motivation, incubation, follow-up, and evaluation. Furthermore, several counseling techniques are proposed, such as self-management, minimal contact, counselor-led management, and directed counseling, to support individual growth. This integrative approach highlights the role of spirituality in fostering holistic personal and professional development. The study contributes theoretically to the advancement of spirituality-based counseling models, particularly in the context of modern career development, and offers a conceptual foundation for future empirical research.

This study aims to analyze the comparison of the impact of financial and non-financial compensation effectiveness on turnover intention among Generation Z employees. The high turnover rates within Generation Z, despite receiving adequate financial compensation, indicate a shift in their preferences regarding the workforce. Generation Z tends to seek more than just financial compensation, such as flexibility, a supportive work environment, and opportunities for growth. The method used in this study is a literature review, analyzing various relevant scholarly journals related to strategic compensation, Generation Z characteristics, and turnover intention. The research findings show that non-financial compensation has a more significant impact in reducing turnover intention among Generation Z compared to financial compensation. Therefore, companies need to focus on aspects such as work-life balance, career development opportunities, and an inclusive and supportive work culture. These findings provide valuable insights that companies should adopt a more holistic reward approach through the total rewards concept, which includes both financial and non-financial compensation, in order to enhance loyalty and retention of Generation Z employees in the long term.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is one of the personality assessment tools that is often used to identify individual psychological tendencies, including in the context of higher education. In the student environment, MBTI is widely used as a means of self-introduction, adjustment of learning styles, increasing the effectiveness of group work, and career planning. This article aims to examine the relevance of the application of MBTI among students using a literature study approach. The research method used is in the form of a review of various literature sources, such as scientific journals, books, and academic articles that discuss the basic concept of MBTI, its implementation in the field of education, and critical views regarding its limitations. The results of the study show that MBTI has a fairly relevant role as a non-diagnostic instrument in helping students understand their potential, learning preferences, and social and academic interaction patterns. In addition, the appropriate use of MBTI can support improved learning quality, teamwork effectiveness, and academic counseling services. However, a number of literature highlights the limitations of MBTI, especially regarding aspects of validity and reliability, so it is not recommended to be used as the sole basis for academic or psychological decision-making. Thus, MBTI remains relevant for students if used wisely, contextually, and based on a strong scientific foundation to support students' academic and personality development.
