This study aims to explore the influence of self-reward on the learning motivation of PGSD (Primary School Teacher Education) students at Universitas Negeri Padang. Self-reward refers to a form of self-appreciation given by individuals after achieving specific goals or completing tasks. This research employed a qualitative approach through interviews and observations involving several students. The pre-test results indicated that most students had a moderate level of learning motivation, with an average score of 65 out of 100. After implementing self-reward strategies such as buying food, playing games, going to karaoke, and taking class trips students demonstrated increased motivation, with the post-test average score rising to 78. Students reported feeling more enthusiastic, confident, and consistent in engaging with academic activities after practicing self-reward. Additionally, self-reward served as an effective coping mechanism to combat academic fatigue and boredom. In conclusion, self-reward plays a significant role in enhancing students’ learning motivation and can be considered a recommended personal development strategy in higher education settings.

Digital transformation has become a crucial part of improving public services. This study explores the use of the Tangerang LIVE application as a digital innovation by the Tangerang City Government to support the smart city concept and promote e-government practices. The application is designed to help residents easily access administrative services and submit complaints in a faster and more transparent way. Using a qualitative approach based on literature review, the study draws data from academic journals, policy documents, and performance reports. The findings show that Tangerang LIVE significantly improves the convenience and efficiency of public services. However, challenges remain — including limited public outreach, low digital literacy, and several technical features that need improvement. The success of such digital services depends not only on good user interface design and accessible information but also on timely technical support and strong community engagement. This study suggests the need for broader digital education, ongoing technical development, and stronger collaboration between government, communities, and private sectors. With these efforts, digital public services can become more inclusive, sustainable, and better aligned with the needs of the people.

In the world of education, students' English language skills cannot be separated from the learning process provided by lecturers. Lecturers as facilitators try to provide the best teaching and learning process for their students. English is a course that develops communication skills both orally and in writing, understanding and expressing information. This course is no longer just a course that is limited to grammar, but can also develop students' skills in communicating English orally and in writing. For this reason, a creative approach is needed that can make students more active and interesting in learning English. One of the approaches provided by lecturers is learning English by utilizing audio-visual media, namely using videos, films, and music. In teaching English material, the use of this learning media is one of the right learning media to use. The purpose of this journal is to provide strategies in utilizing audio-visual media to improve students' English learning outcomes. Technically, the strategy for utilizing audio-visual media in the process of teaching and learning English is divided into three stages, namely preparation, use and the last is follow-up after use. This media utilization strategy will make English learning more effective, interactive and interesting. Lecturers will be more optimal in delivering materials and students will find it easier to understand.

The background of this research problem is unmatched between the kinesthetic students characteristic and the reality on the field. Our observations many students are less interested participating in learning, because they feel boring, so our hypothesis is The gaming-method suspect effective because students with kinesthetic characteristics have physical skills that involve intelligence and cognitive as well as affective and attitudes. Therefore, interactive, holistic, integrative, scientific, contextual, thematic, effective, collaborative, and student-centered learning is needed, as well as the implementation of learning in the field that is directed using learning models/methods related to these characteristics. This study aims to determine is there a correlation or influence the modification of learning with the gaming-method in students motivation, so it can be used as an innovation in “PJOK” learning. This research method is Class Action Research (CAR) with an empirical model. Data were analyzed using the Likert Scale and  qualitative descriptive analysis carried out in 2 cycles with two meetings discussing the topic of student characteristics and the selection of appropriate learning methods. The participants of this research are student in class “9 C of SMPN 7 Kediri” were 32 students. Research shows that play method has an effective relationship and can increase student motivation in “PJOK” lessons in class “9 C of SMPN 7 Kediri”.

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh employee engagement dan self-efficacy terhadap kinerja karyawan dengan job satisfaction sebagai variabel mediasi pada PT Pertamina Trans Kontinental. Metode yang digunakan adalah pendekatan kuantitatif dengan teknik path analysis melalui Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) berbasis Partial Least Square (PLS) menggunakan perangkat lunak SmartPLS versi 3.29. Populasi sekaligus sampel penelitian berjumlah 40 orang karyawan tetap, dengan teknik sensus karena jumlahnya terbatas. Instrumen penelitian berupa kuesioner tertutup dengan skala Likert lima poin. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa employee engagement dan self-efficacy berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap job satisfaction. Selain itu, employee engagement dan job satisfaction terbukti berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan. Namun demikian, self-efficacy tidak menunjukkan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan secara langsung. Di sisi lain, job satisfaction secara signifikan memediasi hubungan antara employee engagement dan kinerja karyawan, namun tidak mampu memediasi hubungan antara self-efficacy terhadap kinerja. Temuan ini menegaskan bahwa kepuasan kerja memiliki peran penting dalam menjembatani faktor psikologis dan perilaku terhadap kinerja. Implikasi teoretis penelitian ini adalah memperkuat literatur terkait peran mediasi job satisfaction, sedangkan implikasi praktisnya mendorong manajemen untuk fokus pada penguatan keterlibatan dan keyakinan diri karyawan guna meningkatkan kinerja. Keterbatasan penelitian ini terletas pada ukuran sampel yang kecil dan cakupan lokasi yang terbatas, sehingga temuan belum dapat digeneralisasi secara luas. Penelitian selanjutnya disarankan memasukkan variabel baru seperti budaya organisasi dan religiusitas, serta memperluas sektor dan lokasi penelitian agar hasil lebih generalisabel.
