Employee performance is a crucial factor that directly contributes to the achievement of company goals, but the evaluation process is often complex. This study aims to examine and evaluate the influence of work motivation, leadership, and work discipline on improving employee performance. The study used a descriptive quantitative method through a survey by distributing questionnaires to 87 employees of PT. Gama Tobako Karanganhyar. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple linear regression tests with the help of SPSS software version 29.1. The results of the analysis showed that the variables of work motivation, leadership, and work discipline had a significant effect on increasing employee performance productivity. Partially, work motivation is a dominant factor in driving productivity, with a regression coefficient value of 0.859, t-count of 5.544, and a significance level of 0.000. These findings indicate that the higher the motivation, both intrinsic and extrinsic, the greater the contribution to improving work quality, productivity, and employee commitment to the company.

This study addresses learning challenges, including student learning difficulties and the ineffective use of lecture-based methods, which result in boredom, disengagement, and low student participation. These issues contribute to poor learning outcomes and low completion rates. The aim of this study is to improve student independence and enhance both average scores and the percentage of learning completion by implementing the Problem Based Learning (PBL) model. This aligns with the principles of the flexible Independent Curriculum, which encourages teachers to adopt student-centered learning approaches that enhance outcomes. The study employed a descriptive-qualitative method, structured in two cycles consisting of planning, implementation, evaluation, and reflection. The research involved eight 8th-grade students at SMPN 1 Biatan during the 2024/2025 academic year. The study focused on developing the "independent" dimension of the Pancasila Student Profile (P3), with data collected through behavioral observations and test results at the end of each cycle. Findings showed significant improvements in student independence, with scores increasing from 53 in cycle 1 to 87 in cycle 2. Cognitive achievement levels also improved: the “advanced” category rose from 0% to 63%, “proficient” increased from 25% to 37.5%, while the “feasible” and “newly developing” categories dropped from 37.5% each to 0%. These results suggest that the PBL model positively impacts both character development and academic performance in the context of Catholic religious education, particularly in the topic of the Sacrament of Healing.

This research examines Generation Z talent retention strategies through employee experience personalization in Semarang companies. Using a qualitative approach and collective case study design, the research was conducted at 5 companies in Semarang that have implemented employee experience personalization practices. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 15 HR managers and 20 Generation Z employees, non-participant observations in the work environment, and analysis of HR policy documents. The results identified five key dimensions of employee experience personalization relevant to Generation Z: personalization of career development, learning experience, work arrangement, reward and recognition, and wellbeing programs. Companies implementing personalization in these dimensions showed higher retention rates of Generation Z employees. However, implementation faces challenges including resource limitations, resistance to change, and concerns about fairness. Effective strategies to overcome these challenges include a phased approach, technology utilization, co-creation with employees, and HR capabilities development. Based on the findings, an employee experience personalization framework was developed that includes foundation elements, core dimensions, implementation enablers, and evaluation metrics. This framework provides a significant contribution to the development of more adaptive and effective talent retention strategies, taking into account the unique characteristics of Generation Z and the specific context of companies in Semarang.

Inovasi dalam pendidikan sering dipengaruhi oleh bias kognitif yang muncul dalam proses pengambilan keputusan. Bias ini mencerminkan kecenderungan berpikir irasional yang dapat menyebabkan pemilihan kebijakan yang tidak optimal serta menghambat adopsi perubahan yang lebih efektif. Artikel ini mengkaji empat jenis bias kognitif utama yaitu confirmation bias, status quo bias, overconfidence bias, dan anchoring bias yang sering terjadi dalam konteks inovasi pendidikan. Dengan menggunakan metode studi literatur, artikel ini menganalisis bagaimana bias-bias tersebut berdampak pada keputusan inovatif dan kontribusinya terhadap kegagalan atau keterlambatan implementasi inovasi yang seharusnya relevan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa bias ini dapat menyebabkan pengambilan keputusan yang tertutup terhadap masukan baru, mempertahankan pendekatan lama, dan mengabaikan data empiris. Untuk mengatasinya, peneliti menawarkan pendekatan seperti pelatihan kesadaran bias bagi pengambil keputusan, penggunaan evaluasi berbasis bukti, serta pelibatan perspektif yang beragam dalam proses keputusan. Dengan demikian, diperlukan upaya sistematis untuk mengurangi bias kognitif agar inovasi pendidikan berjalan lebih efektif, rasional, dan berkelanjutan.

Islamic Religious Education and Character Education learning has an important role in shaping students' character and morals. However, the low level of student learning activity is still a challenge in the learning process. This is caused by the use of conventional learning methods that are less interesting and interactive, so that students tend to be passive. As an alternative, digital media such as Quizizz media offers a more innovative and enjoyable learning approach to increase student active participation. This study aims to describe how the use of Quizizz media can (1) increase student learning activity in group discussions, (2) increase learning activity in daring to ask questions, and (3) increase student participation in answering questions in Islamic religious education learning in class VIII of SMP Negeri 1 Jenangan Ponorogo. The research method used is descriptive qualitative with interview, observation, and documentation techniques. Data were analyzed using the Milles and Huberman techniques, namely data collection, reduction, presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study show that the use of Quizizz media (1) increases student activity in group discussions with an interactive and fun atmosphere, (2) encourages students to be more confident in asking questions with direct feedback that helps them understand the material, (3) can increase students' responses in answering questions, train focus, speed of thinking and understanding through a scoring system and time limits.

Deviant and negative behavior that we often encounter in children aged 2, 3 to 5 years is also called aggressive behavior. This attitude tends to cause harm to others if this behavior has shown an attitude of hurting or physically attacking. Internal and external factors can be the cause of a child behaving aggressively. Therefore, aggressive behavior can be reduced using certain techniques or methods, one of which is the fading technique. The purpose of this study was to reduce aggressive behavior in early childhood using the fading technique. The research design used in this study was Single Subject Design (SSD) or research with a single subject. The data collection technique used in this study used the observation technique with behavioral tally recording. In the study, 10 intervention sessions were carried out for 7 days with the results of a low aggressiveness categorization with a total score of 54 in the range of 52.5 <X ? 67.5. So it can be concluded that there is effectiveness in implementing the fading technique in an effort to minimize aggressive behavior.

Today, higher education is one of the pillars of development and economic growth for every country in the world. The absence of innovation in higher education is one of the primary problems that Iraqi universities confront and still unable to overcome. This situation could be attributed to the dearth of strategic innovation programs and a lack of creativity in lecturing. Therefore, this study proposes a framework that fits innovation practices and employee creativity into the organizational performance of Misan University in Iraq. Quantitative methods were used to test the hypotheses and validate the fitness of the conceptual framework with the empirical data. Simple random sampling technique was used in the survey procedure. The study sample includes 500 lecturers, whereas 422 valid questionnaires have been included in the data analysis. The results show that innovation practices and creativity have a significant effect on the organizational performance of Misan University. These findings provide evidence that achieving superior performance in higher education no longer depends on the deployment of tangible assets like financial resources or the number of academic staff and faculty, but also on intangible assets such as creative lecturing and adopting innovation practices in the learning process. Thus, this study recommends that higher education institutions in Iraq focus on recruiting creative lecturers who can improve students' learning ability by promoting new ways of learning scientific materials in parallel with an innovation strategy in all organizational functions and processes.
