Teacher performance is one of the key factors in determining the quality of education and the achievement of school objectives. Several factors that are assumed to influence teacher performance include transformational leadership style, work motivation, and work discipline. This study aims to analyze the effect of transformational leadership style, work motivation, and work discipline on teacher performance at SMK Negeri 1 Musuk Boyolali. The research employed a quantitative method with descriptive and verificative approaches. The population consisted of 50 teachers, and all members of the population were selected as respondents using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS version 25. The results revealed that work motivation had a positive and significant effect on teacher performance. In contrast, transformational leadership style and work discipline did not have a significant partial effect on teacher performance. However, simultaneously, transformational leadership style, work motivation, and work discipline significantly affected teacher performance. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.324 indicates that these three variables explain 32.4% of the variation in teacher performance, while the remaining 67.6% is influenced by other factors outside the scope of this study. The findings imply that enhancing work motivation should be prioritized in efforts to improve teacher performance, while leadership and work discipline should continue to be strengthened to support a more effective working environment.

Pierhead casting is a critical activity in toll road infrastructure projects that requires continuous concrete supply to maintain quality and execution time.

Based on duration analysis, the truck concrete pump required about 4.7 hours to complete the casting of 120 m³ of ready-mix concrete, while the truck mixer required 2.022 hours to support the concrete supply process.

Employee performance is a critical element in organizational success, particularly in labor-intensive industries such as garment manufacturing. This study aims to analyze the effect of work stress (X1) and work environment (X2) on employee performance (Y) in garment industry companies in Semarang Regency. A quantitative descriptive approach with multiple linear regression analysis was employed. The population and sample comprised 96 employees using total sampling. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire (1–5) with 10 items per variable. All classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity) were satisfied. Reliability tests yielded Cronbach's Alpha of 0.866 (work stress), 0.941 (work environment), and 0.937 (employee performance), confirming instrument reliability. Results indicate: (1) work stress has no significant partial effect on employee performance (t = 1.581; sig. = 0.117); (2) work environment has a significant positive partial effect on employee performance (t = 9.618; sig. = 0.000); (3) simultaneously, both variables significantly affect employee performance (F = 56.630; sig. = 0.000) with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 54.9%. These findings confirm that optimizing the work environment both physical and non-physical is the primary strategic priority for enhancing employee performance in the garment industry.

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.

This study aims to analyze the influence of work motivation and supervision on employee performance through job satisfaction at the Population Control and Family Planning Office (DPPKB) of East Kutai Regency. A quantitative approach was employed using census sampling technique involving 84 employees. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS software. The results reveal that: (1) work motivation positively and significantly affects job satisfaction (β = 0.263, p = 0.039); (2) supervision has a stronger positive effect on job satisfaction (β = 0.409, p = 0.000); (3) work motivation does not directly affect employee performance (β = 0.136, p = 0.248); (4) supervision does not directly affect employee performance (β = 0.140, p = 0.186); (5) job satisfaction is the strongest predictor of employee performance (β = 0.565, p = 0.000); (6) job satisfaction does not significantly mediate the work motivation–performance relationship (β = 0.149, p = 0.056); and (7) job satisfaction fully mediates the supervision–performance relationship (β = 0.231, p = 0.001). These findings suggest that improving public-sector employee performance requires a humanistic supervisory approach centered on employee psychological well-being.

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 proposes a computer vision-based system for automatically verifying the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in industrial environments. The system integrates the YOLOv8 object detection model, OpenCV for image processing, and a State Machine mechanism to manage the verification workflow. The verification process begins with employee identification through ID card scanning, followed by real-time detection of the head, safety helmet, and face mask using a camera, before generating a final PASS or FAIL decision. System evaluation was conducted using 250 testing scenarios to assess both model and system performance. The results show that the YOLOv8 model achieved an mAP@50 of 93.9%, while the overall verification system obtained 98.4% accuracy, 98.4% precision, 100% recall, and a 99.2% F1-score. The implementation of the State Machine contributed to a more stable and consistent verification process by ensuring that each inspection stage was executed in the correct sequence. These findings demonstrate that the proposed system can effectively support automated PPE compliance monitoring and has the potential to enhance occupational safety management in industrial workplaces. 

Changes in work patterns driven by digital technology development and post-pandemic dynamics have encouraged organizations to implement Work From Home (WFH) as an alternative working system. This policy has attracted considerable attention because it affects employee productivity and well-being, which are essential for organizational performance. However, previous studies have reported inconsistent findings regarding the effectiveness of WFH. Therefore, this study aims to analyze the impact of WFH on employee productivity and well-being. A qualitative approach was employee using the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by reviewing 19 scientific articles related to productivity, job satisfaction, work-life balance, and mental health. The findings show that 89,5% of articles reported positive effects of WFH through greater flexibility, work comfort, time efficiency, and improved work-life balance, wich contribute to higher productivity and well-being. Meanwhile, 10,5% identified negative effects due to inadequate work facilities, internet disruptions, burnout, and coordination difficulties. These findings indicate that WFH effectiveness is influenced by technological support, job characteristics, and organizational culture. The study implies that organizations should adopt adaptive work policies, strengthen digital infrastructure, and provide mental health support to optimize employee productivity and well-being.

This study aims to evaluate the level of sharia compliance in musyarakah contracts within micro-enterprise financing. Musyarakah is a partnership-based financing contract that emphasizes cooperation, profit-sharing based on an agreed ratio (nisbah), and proportional risk sharing in accordance with each party’s capital contribution. In practice, the implementation of musyarakah contracts in micro-enterprise financing must be assessed against the Fatwa of the National Sharia Council–Indonesian Ulema Council (DSN-MUI), principles of fiqh muamalah, and Islamic banking regulatory frameworks in Indonesia. The findings show that the implementation of musyarakah working capital financing in Islamic banking is generally in the good category. However, two non-compliance issues with sharia principles were identified. First, there is an imbalance in work participation, where the business is fully managed by the customer while the bank only provides supervision and guidance without active involvement, whereas active participation of partners is a fundamental principle of musyarakah. Second, there is an element of riba due to the use of a fixed profit-sharing scheme, even though profits in musyarakah should be uncertain and based on actual business performance. The study implies that Islamic banks need to improve musyarakah implementation to ensure full compliance with DSN-MUI fatwas, particularly in terms of active bank participation and non-fixed profit-sharing arrangements. Properly implemented, musyarakah financing can strengthen micro and small enterprises by promoting justice-based and risk-sharing economic cooperation.

Abstract. PT XYZ, a wooden furniture manufacturing company, served as the research site for this study which applied the Theory of Constraints (TOC) method to analyze production performance and identify bottlenecks. The company faces capacity imbalances between workstations, resulting in production targets that have not been achieved optimally. Data collection involved direct observation and interviews with related parties in the production area. The analysis was conducted by comparing the required capacity with the available capacity at each production workstation. The findings reveal that solid processing, machining, sanding, assembling, painting, and packing have sufficient available capacities to meet production requirements, thus categorized as non-bottleneck processes. In contrast, the panel processing station is identified as the main bottleneck due to its highest workload among all processes. By implementing the Theory of Constraints, the company can identify major constraints and establish improvement priorities to enhance production flow smoothness. It is expected that improvements in bottleneck processes will increase production efficiency, balance capacity among workstations, and support more optimal achievement of production targets.

In today's rapidly developing era, advances in digital technology have brought significant changes to various fields, including the music industry. Music production processes that once relied heavily on analog equipment can now be carried out digitally through various software applications, one of which is Fruity Loops Studio (FL Studio). FL Studio is a digital music production software that is relatively easy for beginners to learn and is widely used in the creation of digital music. This technology enables individuals to create, record, edit, and produce music more efficiently without requiring expensive studio equipment. Therefore, proficiency in digital music production technology has become a relevant and essential skill for professional, educational, and creative industry purposes. Training in recording, mixing, and mastering techniques using FL Studio is one approach to enhancing the competencies of youth communities engaged in music activities. One of the target groups of this program is the K-Tong Lasiana Youth Community, a community actively involved in music creation, particularly ethnic music. However, their musical works are still primarily focused on live performances and have not been widely produced in digital recording formats due to limited knowledge and skills in digital music production. As a community service initiative, this training program is designed to equip community members with fundamental knowledge and practical skills in digital music production, enabling them to create high-quality musical works and distribute them through various digital platforms so that they can reach a broader audience.

The phenomenon of university students simultaneously undertaking academic studies and employment has become increasingly common, creating unique challenges in balancing work responsibilities and academic obligations. This study aims to examine the effects of job demands and time management on academic performance, with academic self-efficacy serving as a mediating variable among undergraduate and postgraduate students who work while pursuing higher education. The research employed a quantitative approach using a causal research design. Data were collected through an online questionnaire administered to 50 working students selected through purposive sampling. The study measured four variables, namely job demands, time management, academic self-efficacy, and academic performance. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis, Baron and Kenny’s causal steps approach, and the Sobel test to examine mediation effects. The findings reveal that time management has a positive and significant effect on both academic self-efficacy and academic performance. Academic self-efficacy also demonstrates a positive and significant influence on academic performance and emerges as the strongest predictor in the model. In contrast, job demands do not significantly affect either academic self-efficacy or academic performance. Furthermore, academic self-efficacy does not mediate the relationship between job demands and academic performance. However, academic self-efficacy fully mediates the relationship between time management and academic performance, indicating that effective time management enhances students’ confidence in their academic abilities, which subsequently improves their academic outcomes. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening time management skills and academic self-efficacy to support the academic success of working students in higher education institutions.

Road improvement projects require consistency between technical planning documents and field implementation to ensure that service quality, structural performance, construction time, and user safety are achieved. This article evaluates the conformity between planning and realization in the Pangkalan-Batas Jambi road improvement project in Rawas Ulu District, North Musi Rawas Regency. The study used a descriptive-quantitative evaluative approach based on field monitoring, project technical documents, comparative quantity analysis between contract and Contract Change Order (CCO), and identification of implementation constraints. The results showed that several work items changed during construction because initial planning data did not fully capture actual field conditions. Quantities increased for drainage excavation (+18.87%), roadbed preparation (+8.99%), aggregate class A base course (+12.51%), and AC-Base (+11.98%). Conversely, reinforced pipe culverts decreased (-58.33%), unsealed aggregate base/sirtu decreased (-43.50%), and tack/prime coat volume slightly decreased (-0.47%). The time schedule showed a minor delay of -0.13% in the first week but recovered in the second week, indicating effective field coordination. Main constraints included traffic interference, limited worker visibility, and equipment visibility. The study recommends more detailed site surveys during planning, stronger traffic management, stricter occupational safety implementation, systematic progress control, and routine post-construction maintenance to maintain road service life.

Nursing care in hospitals is still below the established standard of 80%, thus reflecting suboptimal nurse performance. This condition is thought to be influenced by factors such as rewards, workload, length of service and supervision. This study aims to analyze the relationship between rewards, workload, length of service, and supervision with nurse performance in the Inpatient Unit of Ratu Zalecha Martapura Regional Hospital. This study used a quantitative method with an observational analytical design using a cross-sectional approach. The study sample consisted of 152 nurses selected using cluster proportional random sampling technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression. The results showed a significant relationship between rewards and nurse performance (p-value=<0.001), workload and nurse performance (p<0.001), and supervision and nurse performance (p-value=<0.001). Length of service did not show a significant relationship with nurse performance (p-value=0,968). Multivariate analysis showed that supervision was the most dominant factor related to nurse performance. Thus, compensation, workload, and supervision are related to nurse performance, while length of service is not related to nurse performance in the Inpatient Unit of Ratu Zalecha Regional Hospital, Martapura. The hospital is expected to improve supervision, workload management, and training and recognition for nurses to improve the quality of nursing services.

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.
