This study investigates the direct and indirect effects of transformational leadership and digital literacy on civil servant performance through the mediating role of adaptability. The research population comprised all 75 employees at the Regional Financial Management and Local Revenue Agency (BPKPAD) of Demak Regency, Indonesia. A saturated sampling method was employed, utilizing the entire population as respondents. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3.3 software. The findings reveal that transformational leadership significantly and positively influences both civil servant adaptability and performance. Digital literacy demonstrates a significant positive impact on both adaptability and performance, emerging as the most dominant factor in the research model. Civil servant adaptability significantly and positively affects performance. However, mediation analysis indicates that adaptability does not significantly mediate the relationships between transformational leadership, digital literacy, and performance, suggesting that direct effects predominate over indirect effects in the BPKPAD Demak Regency context.

This study aims to analyze the discretion of family planning counselors in implementing contraceptive policies and the influence of acceptors' socio-demographic characteristics in Demak Regency. Using a mixed-methods approach with a sequential explanatory design, the study included 89 respondents for quantitative analysis and five key informants for in-depth interviews. The results showed a strong positive correlation between counselor discretion and acceptor socio-demographic characteristics (r = 0.646; p < 0.001), which explained 41.7% of the variance in discretionary practices. Counselors adapted communication strategies based on the age, education, geographic location, and culture of acceptors. Policy implementation faced obstacles in the counselor-community ratio (1:23) and the dominance of short-term contraceptive choices due to socio-cultural influences. Theoretical implications enrich the literature on street-level bureaucracy, while practical implications recommend strengthening counselors' capacity, increasing the ideal ratio, and implementing IEC strategies tailored to local culture. Limitations include a single geographic focus and a cross-sectional design. Future research is suggested to use longitudinal designs and multi-regional comparative studies to explore the dynamics of discretion in different socio-cultural contexts.

Financial literacy plays a vital role in enhancing family well-being, particularly in the management of household income and expenditures. As the primary managers of household finances, homemakers need to possess a sound understanding of prudent financial management. This educational program was designed to provide and enhance financial literacy for homemakers who are members of the PKK organization in Mijen Village, Kebonagung District, Demak Regency. The implementation methods included the delivery of financial literacy materials accompanied by relevant examples, interactive discussions and question-and-answer sessions, as well as the provision of financial strategy recommendations aimed at achieving household financial well-being. The results of the program indicate that the core materials can be categorized into financial literacy enhancement, effective financial management, and investment (saving). The majority of participants allocate approximately 70% to 80% of their income to routine expenditures, while the remaining portion is used for non-routine needs and investments or savings.

This study was carried out at RS Hj. Fatimah Sulhan in Kabupaten Demak, Jawa Tengah, which functioned as both the research site and the moderating context of the investigation. The research aims to examine how personal compensation, Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), and organizational commitment influence employee work performance within the hospital environment. A quantitative research design was implemented, involving 150 employees selected as respondents through appropriate sampling procedures. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and subsequently analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the AMOS software to test the hypothesized relationships among variables. The findings reveal that personal compensation, OCB, and organizational commitment each exert a positive and statistically significant impact on employee performance. These results indicate that fair and competitive compensation, strong voluntary work behaviors, and a high level of commitment to organizational goals collectively enhance productivity, service effectiveness, teamwork quality, and overall institutional performance in the healthcare setting.

This study presents a comparative analysis of the practice of talaqqi in the science of qira’at in Indonesia and Syria, two significant regions in the transmission of sanad-based Qur’anic recitation. Based on the premise that talaqqi is the primary method for preserving the authenticity of the Qur’an—yet its standards, patterns, and scholarly framework have developed differently across regions this research aims to identify the similarities and differences in requirements, implementation methods, stages, and reference texts used in talaqqi qira’at in both countries. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach with a multi-site design: in Indonesia at Pondok Pesantren Al-Munawwir Krapyak, Yanbu’ul Qur’an Kudus, Bustanu ‘Usysyaqil Qur’an Demak, and Al-Hikmah Semarang; and in Syria at Muhyiddin Ibn ‘Arabi Mosque, Mujamma’ Sheikh Ahmad Kuftaro, Maghribiyah Mosque, and the Qira’at Department of Bilad Syam University, Al-Fath al-Islamy branch. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews, observation, and document analysis, and then analyzed descriptively and analytically. The findings reveal that both countries require memorization of the Qur’an (30 juz), conduct talaqqi through face-to-face musyafahah, follow the sequential stages of ifrād jam‘ (including mufradat, jama‘ shughra, and jama‘ kubra), and refer to the Syāthibiyyah poem as a foundational text. However, Indonesia tends to focus on qira’at sab‘ah within the pesantren system, with simpler entry requirements and reliance on the practical manual Faidhul Barokat. In contrast, Syria emphasizes qira’at ‘asyrah with stricter selection standards, implementation in mosques and universities, recitations accompanied by evidence from Syāthibiyyah and ad-Durrah, and extensive support from various commentaries and jam‘ al-qirā’āt muṣḥafs. These findings reinforce the role of Indonesian pesantren in the global qira’at tradition and provide a basis for evaluating and developing a more integrative talaqqi qira’at curriculum that balances theoretical understanding and practical mastery.
