Stakeholder Readiness in Program Implementation "Beautiful Village" (Love Statistics) in Kebun Geran Village
type: item
description: The Kelurahan Cinta Statistik (Kelurahan Cantik) Program is a development program implemented by the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) to improve literacy and utilization of statistical data at the village level as a basis for data-driven development planning. The success of this program is greatly influenced by stakeholder readiness, particularly in terms of human resources. This study aims to determine stakeholder readiness in implementing the Kelurahan Cinta Statistik Program in Kebun Geran Village. This study used a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data collection techniques were conducted through interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that stakeholder readiness in implementing the Kelurahan Cinta Statistik Program in Kebun Geran Village is in the sufficient category. Village heads have a good understanding and play an active role in supporting the program, while statistical agents and village officials have basic knowledge and skills that still need to be improved. Supporting stakeholders demonstrate a positive attitude and participation, but their involvement is still limited. Based on the Diffusion of Innovation Theory, this program is in the early to intermediate adoption stage, requiring strengthening of human resource capacity and infrastructure support for optimal and sustainable program operation.

The Impact of Zoning on Educational Equity in the New Student Admission System
type: item
description: The zoning policy in the New Student Admission System is one of the government's strategic steps in creating equal access to and quality of education in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze teachers' perceptions and experiences regarding the implementation of the zoning policy, as well as to evaluate the extent to which the policy has impacted educational equity. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with the subjects being public elementary and secondary school teachers selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument consists of a closed-ended questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale, distributed online via Google Forms. Data were analyzed using Miles and Huberman's interactive analysis technique, which includes data reduction, data presentation, and verification. The results show that teachers understand the objectives of the zoning policy well and support the principle of equitable education. However, its implementation in the field still faces challenges such as infrastructure limitations, uneven teacher distribution, and public perceptions of school quality. Zoning is seen as capable of encouraging schools to improve, but it needs to be supported by more comprehensive and responsive policies tailored to the conditions of each region.

Emotional Responses and Comprehension in Asynchronous Communication: A Literature Review of Changing Digital Interaction Patterns
type: item
description: The advancement of digital technology has shifted human communication patterns from synchronous to asynchronous modes. This study aims to describe the characteristics of asynchronous communication, analyze its impact on message comprehension, and explain how it influences users’ emotional responses. Using a qualitative descriptive approach based on a literature study, this research reviews relevant works in digital communication, cognitive psychology, and emotional response theories. Findings indicate that asynchronous communication offers advantages in time flexibility and message processing, but also presents challenges such as limited emotional cues and potential misunderstandings. Message comprehension is closely tied to an individual’s cognitive capacity, while emotional responses are more filtered yet susceptible to emotional detachment. This study contributes theoretically by linking cognitive and affective aspects in digital communication and offers practical insights for developing more empathetic communication strategies in the digital era.

Analysis of Customer Feasibility Classification Using the 5C1S Principle to Obtain Hasanah House Financing at BSI KCP Sidoarjo Krian
type: item
description: The high demand for housing among the public has led to a significant increase in the need for home financing, making the role of Islamic financial institutions crucial in providing financing solutions that align with Islamic principles. Bank Syariah Indonesia (BSI), through its Griya Hasanah product, offers home ownership financing that is free from interest (riba) and based on Sharia contracts. However, the growing demand also heightens the potential risk of problematic financing, necessitating a strict and accurate classification of customer eligibility. This study aims to analyze the application of the 5C+1S principles in assessing the eligibility of customers for Griya Hasanah financing at BSI KCP Sidoarjo Krian. The method used is qualitative with a case study approach, employing in-depth interviews with the marketing team and Business Operational Staff (BOSM), along with data triangulation through financing documents and field observations. The findings reveal that the implementation of the 5C+1S principles (Character, Capacity, Capital, Collateral, Condition of Economy, and Sharia Compliance) contributes significantly to reducing the risk of problematic financing. The principles of Character and Capacity carry the highest assessment weight, as they are directly related to the customer's integrity and repayment ability. Meanwhile, the Sharia aspect serves as the main differentiator from conventional financial institutions, ensuring that all financing processes adhere to Islamic values.

The Influence of Family Environment and Attitudes of Buddhist Sunday School Teachers on the Character of Generation Z in the Globalization Era in Makassar
type: item
description: Globalization and technological advancements have influenced the character of Generation Z, who grew up exposed to foreign cultures through social media. The values that Generation Z receive often conflict with local culture and religious teachings, including Buddhism. In this regard, families and Buddhist Sunday School (SMB) teachers play an important role as moral and spiritual educators. However, weak family communication and teachers' inconsistency in conveying religious values pose obstacles. Initial studies at several monasteries in Makassar indicate that their roles are still not optimal. This study aims to examine the influence of the family environment and SMB teachers' attitudes on the character of Generation Z in the context of Buddhist religious education in the era of globalization. This study uses a quantitative method with a regression approach to analyze the influence of the family environment and SMB teachers' attitudes on the character of Generation Z. This study concludes that the family environment and the attitudes of Buddhist Sunday School teachers have a positive and significant influence on the character of Generation Z in Makassar, both individually and collectively, with a combined contribution of 26.2%. Character strengthening can be achieved through the active role of families and teachers, as well as synergy between monasteries, schools, and families in educational programs and development based on Buddhist values.

The R-Square value of 0.900 for trust and 0.905 for purchase decisions indicates that the research model has very strong explanatory power. These findings strengthen the relevance of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) theories in explaining the online purchasing behavior of Generation Z.

Implementation of Mobile Library Services by the West Sulawesi Provincial Library and Archives Service in Motivating Students' Reading Interest in Mamuju Regency
type: item
description: Reading interest is a crucial factor in improving the quality of human resources. However, literacy rates in Indonesia remain low, particularly in remote areas. One innovation to address the access gap is mobile library services. This study evaluated the Sapa Mobile Library in Mamuju Regency, West Sulawesi, focusing on operational conditions, student reading interest developments from 2023 to 2025, and optimization strategies. Using descriptive qualitative methods, the results revealed challenges such as limited fleet, irrelevant collections, inconsistent schedules, and limited outreach to Islamic schools (madrasah). Student reading interest increased at the start of the program but declined due to inconsistent service delivery and a lack of family support. Recommended strategies include fleet rejuvenation, curriculum and culturally-based collection updates, librarian training, expanded outreach, and service digitization. This study proposes a relevant and sustainable inclusive literacy model.

The Effect of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) On Employee Engagement, with Job Satisfaction as a Mediation Variable
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effect of Perceived Organizational Support (POS) on Employee Engagement, with Job Satisfaction as a mediating variable. The phenomenon of low employee engagement in organizations highlights the importance of organizational support and job satisfaction as key factors in enhancing employees' involvement in their work. This research adopts a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), involving respondents from employees at PT X. The results show that POS has a positive and significant direct effect on employee engagement, with a coefficient value of 0.266 and a p-value of 0.017. Additionally, POS significantly affects job satisfaction with a coefficient of 0.793 and a p-value of 0.000. Job satisfaction also has a significant direct influence on employee engagement with a coefficient of 0.270 and a p-value of 0.020. The indirect effect of POS on employee engagement through job satisfaction is recorded at 21.4%, while the direct effect is higher at 26.6%, indicating that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship. These findings emphasize that, in addition to the direct effect, job satisfaction plays a partial mediating role in the relationship between organizational support and employee engagement. This research offers practical insights for organizations to enhance engagement through improved support and job satisfaction strategies.

The Effect of E-Learning-Based Training and Organizational Culture on Employee Performance with Motivation as an Intervening Variable at PT. CBA Chemical Industry, Serang Regency
type: item
description: The rapid advancement of technology has driven the manufacturing industry, including the agrochemical sector, to optimize employee performance through digital training and the reinforcement of organizational culture. PT. CBA Chemical Industry has implemented e-learning-based training and developed internal corporate values; however, the performance of production operators has yet to show consistent improvement. This indicates a potential issue in the effectiveness of the training and cultural strategies implemented. This study aims to examine the influence of e-learning-based training and organizational culture on employee performance, with work motivation as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed, using survey methods with questionnaires distributed to 81 production operators. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that e-learning-based training does not have a significant direct effect on performance or work motivation, while organizational culture significantly influences both. Work motivation also has a significant direct effect on performance but does not mediate the relationship between training or culture and performance. These results indicate that direct influences are more dominant than indirect effects through motivation. The study draws on motivational theories from Maslow, Herzberg, McClelland, and McGregor, which explain that training and organizational values can shape employee behavior, although their effectiveness is largely determined by how individuals perceive organizational stimuli.

The Role of Parents and Buddhist Religious Education Teachers in Strengthening Student Character at Metta Maitreya Vocational School, Pekanbaru
type: item
description: This study is motivated by the importance of synergy between parents and Buddhist Religious Education teachers in strengthening student character, particularly in shaping learners who are not only academically competent but also morally grounded. The main issue addressed in this research is the suboptimal role of both parents and teachers in accompanying the character-building process of students, as well as challenges in internalizing Buddhist values into students’ daily lives at SMK Metta Maitreya Pekanbaru. The objective of this study is to analyze the roles of parents and Buddhist Education teachers in character development, identify inhibiting factors, and propose strategies for character strengthening based on compassion values. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results indicate that parents significantly contribute to building foundational character values through role modeling, communication, and supervision. Meanwhile, Buddhist Religious Education teachers act as spiritual mentors and exemplars of Buddhist virtues, integrating values into teaching and behavior. Challenges found include limited parent-child interaction time and the continued focus on cognitive learning aspects. This research proposes a character education approach rooted in the “Culture of Compassion,” composed of three core elements: a heart of compassion, acts of compassion, and smiles of compassion. This integrative approach is expected to reinforce students' internalization of noble values comprehensively. The conclusion emphasizes that collaboration between parents and teachers is essential for holistic and sustainable student character development.

The Effect of People's Business Credit Facility (KUR) and Financial Literacy on the Welfare of MSME Actors with Business Productivity as a Mediation Variable
type: item
description: Based on data from the Ministry of Cooperatives and SMEs, the Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector in Indonesia reached 64.2 million units and contributed 61.07% to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). West Java Province ranks first with the largest number of MSMEs, including the Jatinangor area which is experiencing rapid growth of MSMEs along with its development as an educational area. However, most MSME players in this region face obstacles in business development due to low financial literacy and limited access to formal financing, such as the People's Business Credit (KUR). Bank Mandiri, as one of the largest KUR channeling banks, has developed digital innovations and strategic partnerships to increase the financial inclusion of MSME players. This study aims to analyse the effect of KUR facilities and financial literacy on the welfare of MSME actors, with business productivity as a mediating variable. The research method used is quantitative with a Partial Least Square - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach. Based on the results of the analysis of data obtained from MSME actors in Jatinangor, it was found that KUR and financial literacy have a direct and significant effect on productivity and welfare. In addition, productivity is proven to mediate the relationship between the two variables and welfare. The results of this study suggest that strengthening access to financing and improving financial literacy are key strategies in encouraging the productivity and welfare of MSMEs in a sustainable manner, especially in semi-urban areas such as Jatinangor.

The Effect of Workload, Work Motivation, and Teamwork on Employee Performance
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the influence of workload, work motivation, and teamwork on employee performance at Moen's Farm in Cidahu, Sukabumi Regency. This study uses a quantitative method with a survey approach by distributing questionnaires to the entire population of 110 employees, with a saturated sampling technique. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS 27 software. The results of the study indicate that the three independent variables, namely workload, work motivation, and teamwork, simultaneously and partially have a significant effect on employee performance. The coefficient of determination of 60.5% indicates that the combination of the three variables is able to explain employee performance, while the rest is influenced by other factors not examined. Workload has a positive influence on performance, which means that the more balanced the workload, the better the performance. High work motivation also improves performance, as does effective teamwork. These findings are expected to provide input for Moen's Farm management in improving employee performance through workload management, providing appropriate motivation, and forming a solid work team.

type: item
description: This study aims to examine in depth Mohammad Natsir's thoughts on moral education and its relevance in the context of contemporary Islamic education. Mohammad Natsir is one of the prominent Indonesian Muslim thinkers and politicians who strongly emphasized the importance of moral development as the core of Islamic education. This study uses a qualitative approach with a library study method, namely analyzing Natsir's works and other relevant literature, and combining them with the thoughts of classical figures such as Al-Ghazali as a comparison. The results show that according to Natsir, moral education does not only aim to distinguish between good and bad, but also to shape individuals who are faithful, knowledgeable, and have noble morals. Moral education must be based on strengthening faith, good deeds, and exemplary behavior, and implemented holistically through the integration of spiritual, intellectual, and social aspects. Natsir also emphasized the important role of education in building Islamic civilization by fostering individuals who are responsible to themselves, society, and God. Natsir's thoughts on moral education have proven to be still highly relevant in addressing the challenges of the moral crisis in the modern era. Values such as honesty, integrity, discipline, and social concern that he offers are in line with the principles of character education in current national education policy.

type: item
description: This study examines the role of agricultural cooperatives in empowering farmers and alleviating poverty in rural areas. Despite their potential, cooperatives face several challenges that hinder their effectiveness, especially in developing countries. This study aims to evaluate the contributions of agricultural cooperatives in improving farmers' access to finance, technology, and markets, and how they support integration into modern agricultural systems. A literature review approach based on the PRISMA method and bibliometric analysis was employed, identifying 157 relevant articles published between 2005 and 2024. The findings reveal that agricultural cooperatives significantly reduce multidimensional poverty in countries like China and Tanzania by improving material and social well-being. However, challenges such as low organizational capacity, uneven benefit distribution, and inadequate policy support persist. The study also highlights gaps in adapting cooperative models to local socio-economic contexts. Future research should focus on adapting suitable technologies, strengthening partnerships with smallholder farmers, and evaluating the role of government policies in fostering cooperative ecosystems. This study offers insights into the potential of cooperatives.as a tool for economic empowerment and offers suggestions for future research on inclusive and sustainable rural development.

type: item
description: This study analyzes the influence of social support on the psychological well-being of GBKP pastors, with job satisfaction as a moderating variable. Employing a quantitative approach and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis on questionnaire data collected from active GBKP pastors, the results indicate that social support has a positive and significant effect on psychological well-being (coefficient = 0.503, P-Values = 0.000). Job satisfaction also positively and significantly influences psychological well-being (coefficient = 0.265, P-Values = 0.000). Furthermore, job satisfaction significantly moderates the relationship between social support and psychological well-being (T-Statistics = 2.709, P-Values = 0.007).
