This study aims to determine and analyze the impact of the work environment on employee job satisfaction at the Human Resources Development Agency (BPSDM) of Jambi Province. The research is motivated by the importance of a supportive work environment in creating comfort, increasing motivation, and improving employee job satisfaction, since preliminary observations found several work-environment problems such as inadequate room cooling, disrupted toilet water supply, and unstable Wi-Fi network. This study used a quantitative approach with an associative research design. The population consisted of 75 employees, all of whom were used as the sample through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected using a four-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed with validity tests, reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and simple linear regression using SPSS. The results show that the work environment has a significant impact on employee job satisfaction, evidenced by a significance value smaller than 0.05, with a coefficient of determination of 61.8 percent. This indicates that the better the work environment, both physical and non-physical, the higher the employee job satisfaction. This research is expected to serve as a consideration for the agency in improving the quality of the work environment to support employee job satisfaction and performance.

The purpose of this study is to identify the level of influence  of job description and workload on the job satisfaction of monthly contract employees at PT Multi Garmenjaya. Through  a cross-sectional  survey method, this study applies a descriptive and associative research design. The data collection was carried out through the distribution of a combination  of online (Google Form) and offline (print questionnaire) questionnaires to 87 respondents who were selected as a sample of the entire population totaling 677 monthly contract employees. Based on the results of hypothesis testing, it was found that the position description variable had a positive and partially significant influence on employee job satisfaction, with a calculated t-value of 5.529 and a significance level of 0.0000. On the other hand, the workload variable was also found to show a positive and significant influence on employee job satisfaction partially, with a calculated t  value of 1.327 and a significance value of 0.188. When tested simultaneously, the two independent variables were proven to have a significant effect on the job satisfaction of contract employees, with  an F score of 27.772 and a significance value of 0.0000. As for the Adjusted R Square value,  a value of 0.384 was obtained. This figure means that the ability of the variable job description and workload in explaining the ups and downs of the job satisfaction of PT Multi Garmenjaya's monthly contract employees is 38.4%. Meanwhile, the other percentage, which is 61.6%, is influenced by other factors or variables that are not studied and studied in this research model.

The stock market is a place to buy shares for profit. In Indonesia, energy stocks are highly unpredictable because global commodity prices change constantly. This study examines what affected energy stock returns in 2024, focusing on trading volume, price swings, company profits, and cash flow. Using financial reports and statistical analysis, all these factors were tested together and individually. The results show that combined, all these factors do affect stock returns. However, when looked at one by one, only the company's net profit truly matters to investors. On the other hand, busy trading, daily price swings, and cash flow have no impact at all. In fact, all the factors studied only account for 14% of stock return movements, while the remaining 86% is driven by other outside forces. In conclusion, for those looking to invest in energy stocks, the most important thing to watch is the company's ability to generate net profit, rather than just looking at how busy daily transactions are in the market.

This study aims to analyze the influence of digital experience and customer experience on passenger loyalty on the Progo Train route, Pasar Senen–Lempuyangan. The increasing digitalization of public transportation services through the Access by KAI application has highlighted the importance of examining the quality of digital experience and customer experience in maintaining passenger loyalty. The study employed a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. Data were collected from 150 respondents through a questionnaire with a five-point Likert scale using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was performed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4 software (Ringle et al., 2024). The results of the outer model evaluation showed that all indicators had outer loadings > 0.70, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) > 0.50, Composite Reliability (CR) and Cronbach's alpha > 0.70, thus all constructs were declared valid and reliable. The inner model test shows that digital experience has a positive and significant effect on passenger loyalty (β = 0.192; T = 2.237; p = 0.025). Customer experience also has a positive and significant effect on passenger loyalty (β = 0.243; T = 3.268; p = 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.133 indicates that both variables explain 13.3% of the variance in passenger loyalty. The customer experience variable has a more dominant influence than digital experience on Progo Train passenger loyalty.

This study examines the effectiveness of integrating the demonstration method with audio-visual interactive multimedia to enhance Grade III elementary students' proficiency in sunnah rawatib prayers. A quasi-experimental design was employed with an experimental group (n=21) receiving demonstration-assisted multimedia instruction and a control group (n=22) undergoing conventional teaching. The primary instrument was a validated worship practice observation checklist (CVR=1; Cronbach's Alpha=0.873). Data analysis included the Shapiro-Wilk normality test, N-Gain calculation, and the Mann-Whitney U test. The experimental group achieved a posttest mean of 85.95 (100% mastery rate) compared to the control group's 74.32 (77.27% mastery). The experimental group's N-Gain score of 0.7146 (high category) substantially exceeded the control group's 0.4423 (moderate category). The Mann-Whitney U test yielded an Asymp. Sig. (2-tailed) value of < .001, confirming a statistically significant difference between both groups. These findings affirm that demonstration enriched by interactive multimedia scaffolding effectively constructs students' procedural knowledge of worship rituals and optimally engages multiple sensory modalities at the primary level.

Sukabanjar Village is one of the villages striving to improve basic infrastructure quality, particularly in drainage construction and road repair. However, limited understanding among village officials and communities regarding standardized construction cost estimation methods, specifically the Unit Price Work Analysis (AHSP), has become an obstacle in preparing accurate and efficient Budget Plans (RAB). This community service program (PKM) aims to improve the understanding of village officials, village hall staff, and Sukabanjar Village community regarding AHSP-based construction cost estimation planning as the standard reference for construction work cost calculation in Indonesia. The program involved socialization and training for 20 participants, consisting of village officials (RW/RT), village hall staff, and general public, introducing the basic concepts of AHSP, RAB component elements, and simple simulations of drainage and road work cost calculations. Evaluation was conducted through pre- and post-tests. The results of the activity showed a very significant improvement in participants' understanding. The average pre-test score was 42, which then increased to 75 in the post-test, reflecting an increase of 33 points (78.6%). In conclusion, the AHSP-based cost estimation planning socialization was effective in improving the village community's understanding of construction infrastructure budget management, although continued mentoring is still needed for optimal and sustainable implementation.

This study aims to determine the effect of assertive leadership and self-actualization on the performance of nurses at Dr. Soekardjo Regional General Hospital in Tasikmalaya. The research design used in this study is a quantitative approach using a survey method. Research subjects: All 40 nurses working in the Melati ward were included as respondents. Research data were collected through the distribution of questionnaires to all respondents. The collected data were analyzed using a series of multiple linear regression tests, along with instrument validation and hypothesis testing. The results of the data analysis yielded the regression equation Y = 0.743 + 0.482X1 + 0.521X2 + e. Furthermore, the analysis indicated that assertive leadership positively contributes to improved nursing performance. Additionally, self-actualization also plays a role in supporting performance improvement. Simultaneously, both variables exert a significant influence on nursing performance. The coefficient of determination of 68.2% indicates that 68.2% of the variation in nurses’ performance can be explained by the two independent variables—assertive leadership and self-actualization—while the remainder is influenced by other factors outside the research model. These findings suggest that strengthening a more assertive and clear leadership style and fostering nurses’ self-actualization can serve as strategies for improving the quality of nursing care.

Golf participation has increasingly become a lifestyle-oriented recreational activity that combines physical exercise, social interaction, and personal identity. However, participation decisions are not only shaped by individual interest, but also by demographic readiness, psychographic orientation, digital promotional exposure, and psychological commitment to the sport. This study aims to examine the influence of demographic factors, psychographic factors, and digital promotion on golf participation decisions in Bandar Lampung, with sport commitment as a mediating variable. A quantitative survey approach was employed using purposive sampling. Data were collected from 287 golf participants through a structured questionnaire measured with a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression and Sobel mediation testing. The findings show that demographic factors, psychographic factors, digital promotion, and sport commitment have positive and significant effects on golf participation decisions. Sport commitment was found to be the strongest predictor and significantly mediated the relationship between demographic factors, psychographic factors, digital promotion, and golf participation decisions. These results indicate that golf participation is influenced not only by access, lifestyle, and digital promotion, but also by the level of commitment developed by participants. This study contributes to sport marketing literature by integrating individual, psychological, and digital factors into one empirical model of golf participation behavior.

The high volume of fishery waste often poses an environmental burden if not managed appropriately. Conversely, the circular economy concept offers sustainable solutions aligned with Maqasid Shariah principles in environmental preservation (Hifz al-Alam). This study aims to educate and implement the processing of fish waste into high-quality animal feed that meets halal standards (halalan thayyiban). This research employs a qualitative approach using the Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) method. The stages include socializing the concept of Sharia circular economy, technical training on waste processing, and nutritional content testing of the feed. The findings indicate an 80% increase in community understanding regarding the economic value of waste. Technically, the fish waste processing successfully produced an alternative animal feed with high protein content, free from najis (impurity) through a purification process according to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). This education proves that the integration of circular economy and Sharia principles not only reduces environmental impact but also creates sustainable economic added value for local communities.
