SMEs are the backbone of the local economy and require contextualized and adaptive leadership and human capital management strategies. This article aims to describe the indigenous values-based leadership model implemented in Aglaia Shoes Cleaning-a shoe-care SME in Malang City-and how it contributes to strengthening human capital. The service activities were carried out through a participatory and educative approach, including soft skills training, structuring work structures, and preparing simple SOPs based on local cultural values such as mutual cooperation, responsibility, and perseverance. The results of the activities show that a leadership approach that integrates indigenous values can create a more collaborative work environment, increase productivity, and foster loyalty and a sense of ownership in the work team. Strengthening human capital does not only occur through increasing technical capacity, but also through instilling local values and work ethics. This model has the potential to be replicated in other MSMEs with similar characteristics to encourage local culture-based business sustainability.

In the modern work environment, perceived organizational support is an important factor in increasing work engagement and productivity. Organizations that provide emotional, professional, and structural support to employees tend to have a more motivated, loyal, and productive workforce. However, social workers, especially in the Malang City Social Service, often experience minimal organizational support, resulting in work stress, burnout, and high employee turnover. Most previous studies have used a quantitative approach, while few have examined how organizational support is socially constructed in everyday interactions. This study aims to understand how social workers in the Malang City Social Service construct the meaning of organizational support and how it affects their work engagement. This study uses a qualitative approach with a social phenomenology method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, with informants selected using homogeneous purposive sampling. The findings of the visualization construct confirm that effective organizational support acts as a catalyst in increasing work engagement, strengthening motivation, and improving the performance and productivity of social workers in the public service organization environment. Organizational support is not only an administrative aspect, but also a social phenomenon that is formed through interaction, communication, and work experience. These findings contribute to the social phenomenology literature in organizational management studies, as well as provide recommendations for social organizations to improve the well-being and engagement of social workers.
