A business incubator is a forum or institution that aims to foster, guide, and accelerate the growth of start-up businesses by providing resource support such as training, funding, network access, and operational facilities. This study aims to determine the Effectiveness of Technology-Based Business Incubation Programs in Increasing Startup Growth. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive approach with literature studies as the main data collection technique. The results of the study indicate that business incubators play an important role in reducing the failure rate of digital startups, increasing competitiveness, and accelerating the commercialization process of digital products and services. An effective incubator is characterized by the ability to provide relevant mentoring programs, mentoring from industry practitioners, and access to funding sources. The conclusion of this study states that the existence of business incubators significantly supports the growth and sustainability of digital startups, but their success still depends heavily on the quality of incubation services and the internal readiness of startups to receive coaching.

The rapid growth of digital startup companies in Indonesia brings its own challenges in human resource (HR) management, especially related to workload and organizational commitment. High work dynamics, aggressive targets, and intense operational pressure can cause an imbalance in workload that impacts motivation, work stress, and increased turnover intention. HR commitment is a key factor in startup success, but it is difficult to achieve without effective and humane workload management. This community service activity was carried out by Karangturi National University (UNKARTUR), through the Faculty of Economics, Business and Humanities (FEBHum), which aims to improve the understanding, skills, and awareness of digital startup entrepreneurs and employees in Bugangan Village, Semarang, regarding workload management strategies. The methods used include workshops, group discussions, and direct assistance. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of the impact of disproportionate workloads, as well as the ability to implement efficient and sustainable work strategies. This activity also encourages collaboration between academics and practitioners in designing a healthy and adaptive work environment. With better workload management, it is hoped that the level of commitment, satisfaction, and retention of employees in digital startups can increase, while strengthening the competitiveness of local businesses in the era of digital transformation.
