Effectiveness of Brand Image and Brand Awareness in Improving the Performance of the West Java Provincial Centre for Teachers and Education Personnel through Social Media Engagement

2025-11-28T08:01:10+00:00

The current era of digitalisation has brought about changes in public communication within government institutions. This is also the case at the West Java Provincial Teacher and Education Personnel Centre (BBGTK Jabar), which is the technical implementation centre of the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education (Kemendikdasmen) tasked with providing training and competency development for teachers and education personnel in the province of West Java. Public communication plays a role in every activity carried out by this institution. This study aims to analyse the positive and effective influence of endogenous variables, namely brand image and brand awareness, on exogenous variables, namely the performance of BBGTK Jabar, through social media engagement as a mediating variable. The type of research used is descriptive and verificative with an explanatory survey research method. The data used are primary and secondary data, where the primary data collection technique is through surveys, while secondary data are obtained through literature studies, journals, articles, and websites. The research population was determined using the Slovin formula with a margin of error of 10%, resulting in 100 respondents consisting of teachers and educational staff who are active users of BBGTK Jabar social media. The research instrument was measured using a 5-point Likert scale, and data analysis was performed using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM). The results of the analysis show that brand image and brand awareness have a direct positive and effective influence on BBGTK Jabar performance through social media engagement as a mediating variable.

Analisis HOTS Buku Teks Rancagé Diajar Basa Sunda Kelas VII SMP Kurikulum Merdeka

2025-12-26T00:49:28+00:00

The implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum demands a transformation of instructional materials capable of systematically stimulating students' critical thinking skills; however, the integration of Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) in regional language textbooks tends to be limited compared to national subjects. This study aims to describe the distribution of HOTS, the variation of HOTS operational verbs, and the types of stimuli used in the Seventh-Grade Sundanese textbook Rancagé Diajar Basa Sunda. The novelty of this study lies in its focus on the analysis of HOTS implementation within Sundanese local content, which remains under-researched, compared to national subjects. Using a qualitative approach with a descriptive method through content analysis techniques, this study employed the Revised Bloom's Taxonomy as the research instrument to dissect cognitive levels. A total of 294 content units were collected through documentation techniques, while data validity was ensured through theory triangulation to maintain the objectivity of the analysis. The results reveal that only 98 items (33%) meet the HOTS criteria, while the majority, comprising 196 items (67%), remain at the Lower Order Thinking Skills (LOTS) level. Although the C4 (analyzing) level is predominant, the C5 (evaluating) and C6 (creating) levels occur with minimal frequency, supported by stimuli restricted to simple discourse texts. These findings confirm that the HOTS content in the textbook has not yet reached the ideal standard of 40–60%. The implications suggest that textbook authors must reconstruct materials by enriching visual stimuli and problem-based tasks to transform Sundanese language learning from mere linguistic mastery into the development of cognitive competencies relevant to 21st-century educational needs.

Dynamic Hedge Mapping IHSG: Bukti Rolling regression 60-Hari pada Bitcoin, Emas, Obligasi, dan USD

2025-12-16T03:07:45+00:00

This study examines whether four alternative assets Bitcoin, gold, government bonds, and the United States dollar provide protection against declines in the Indonesia Stock Exchange Composite Index (IHSG). The objective is to determine which assets act as hedges for returns and which serve as volatility safe havens during turbulent market conditions. Using daily log returns from February 2022 to April 2025, the study applies simple linear return regressions, volatility regressions constructed from 10-day rolling standard deviations, and 60-day rolling return regressions to capture time-varying relationships. The results show that the US dollar consistently exhibits a negative and statistically significant relationship with IHSG returns, indicating a reliable hedging function. In contrast, government bonds, gold, and Bitcoin display positive return betas, implying pro-cyclical behavior rather than defensive characteristics. In volatility analysis, the US dollar and government bonds record the smallest sensitivity to index volatility, while Bitcoin and gold amplify market risk. Time-varying (rolling) estimates reinforce these patterns: the dollar’s defensive role persists across normal and crisis episodes, whereas the other assets rarely show sustained negative betas. In conclusion, for the observed period and market context, the United States dollar is the most effective hedge against IHSG declines; government bonds contribute to volatility stabilization; gold offers limited diversification benefits; and Bitcoin does not function as a dependable defensive asset in the Indonesian equity market.

Pengaruh Leverage terhadap Financial Performance Properti & Real estate di Indonesia (2020–2024): Peran Moderasi Financial distress

2025-12-16T03:07:20+00:00

This study examines the effect of financial leverage on financial performance in property and Real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, and whether financial distress modifies that effect. The objective is to determine whether higher leverage reduces financial performance and whether financial distress strengthens or weakens that relationship. We use a quantitative panel regression on 68 firms observed between 2020 and 2024. Outliers were screened using the interquartile range and an indicator saturation procedure implemented in EViews 13, yielding 249 usable observations. Financial leverage is measured by the debt-to-asset ratio, firm performance by Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE), and financial distress by a bankruptcy-risk score (Altman Z-Score). Results show that higher debt-to-asset ratios significantly reduce both ROA and ROE. Financial distress does not have a significant direct effect on performance, but the combined effect of leverage and distress is positive and significant, indicating that distress tends to weaken rather than amplify the negative impact of leverage. The findings suggest that firms under financial pressure often adopt restructuring or efficiency measures that mitigate leverage’s adverse effects. The study concludes that property firms should manage leverage carefully and address distress proactively through timely restructuring and operational improvements to preserve profitability and long-term viability.

Seni Persuasif dalam Podcast: Kajian Sintaksis

2025-12-29T06:09:34+00:00

This study discusses the persuasive art in the preaching utterances of Habib Husein Ja’far Al-Hadar on Deddy Corbuzier’s YouTube channel, particularly in the Log-in Season Episode, through a syntactic analysis based on Austin and Searle’s speech act theory. The purpose of this research is to describe the types of sentences used by Habib Ja’far in delivering persuasive messages an to explain the accompanying illocutionary function. The method used is qualitative with observastion and note taking techniques, in which verbal utterances are classified according to sentence types (declarative, imperative, prohibitive, and interrogative) and analyzed in relation to their pragmatic functions. The results of the study show that Habib Ja’far employs various syntactic structures to create strong persuasive effects. Declarative sentences are used to instill moral and spiritual values, imperative and prohibitive sentences serve to guide the audience’s behavior, while interroative sentences function to evoke the listener’s awareness through reflection. The combination of sentencesstructure and illocutinary meaning forms a preaching style that is gentle, logical, and emotional, making religious messages more easily accepted by diverse audience.

Gaya Sarkasme Tokoh dalam Film Rumah untuk Alie: Kajian Stilistika

2025-12-28T04:11:46+00:00

This study aims to describe the forms and functions of sarcastic language style used by the characters in the film Rumah untuk Alie through a stylistic approach based on Keraf’s (2006) theory of language style. This research employs a qualitative method with listening and note-taking techniques to collect data in the form of utterances containing sarcasm. The data were analyzed using the referential identity method (metode padan) to interpret meanings, contexts, and rhetorical functions of sarcasm in shaping characters and conflicts. The findings reveal three main forms of sarcastic language style: mocking sarcasm, cursing sarcasm, and ironic sarcasm. Each form serves different rhetorical purposes, such as expressing emotions, channeling anger, and asserting social dominance within conflictual interactions. Stylistically, the use of sarcasm in the film demonstrates how diction, intonation, and context create emotional and aesthetic effects while reflecting the characters’ social dynamics and power relations. This study concludes that language in film functions not merely as a medium of communication but also as a means of psychological expression and social representation.

The Effect of ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) Disclosure on Audit Quality with Firm Size and Industry Complexity as Moderating Variables (An Empirical Study on Manufacturing Companies Listed On the IDX in 2020–2024)

2026-01-13T03:28:10+00:00

Weak or non-transparent ESG reports regarding governance structure and internal control policies can signal to auditors a high inherent risk of control failure, which in turn increases the risk of material misstatement due to fraud. This study aims to examine the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on audit quality, as well as the effect of company size and industry complexity as moderating variables in manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2020 to 2024. The research sample was determined using purposive sampling. The study uses a causal associative method with a quantitative approach and panel data regression analysis. The statistical data processing and analysis were carried out using STATA statistical software. The results showed that disclosure of environmental aspects had no effect on audit quality. In contrast, social and governance aspects have a negative effect on audit quality. This finding indicates that the higher the social and governance score of a company, the auditor tends to consider the audit risk lower, thus reducing the need for additional independent audits. Simultaneously, social and governance are also proven to reduce audit quality. Firm size is not shown to moderate the relationship between ESG and audit quality, as both large and small firms may experience an exaggerated perception of high ESG reputation. However, industry complexity is shown to positively moderate the relationship between social and governance aspects and audit quality. In complex industries, despite high ESG scores, the demand for rigorous audit oversight still increases due to the high potential reporting risks. This study provides an empirical contribution in understanding the dynamics of ESG influence on audit in Indonesia's manufacturing sector, and suggests the importance of considering operational complexity factors in designing an effective audit oversight system.

Implementation of Expenditure Standards Analysis (Case Study on The Regional Government of Tolitoli Regency, Central Sulawesi Province)

2026-01-01T15:30:08+00:00

This study aims to analyze the reasonableness of costs for performance report preparation programs in each Regional Government Organization (OPD) of Tolitoli Regency. The approach used is descriptive quantitative, with secondary data in the form of the 2024 Tolitoli Regency Regional Government Work Plan (RKPD) document. Data analysis was carried out using simple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results show that the regression equation obtained is: Y =-22,780,831,863,267 + 3,665,682,455,393X, where X represents the number of performance report preparation activities/reports and the summary of OPD performance realization as a cost driver. Based on the estimation results, 3 OPDs are in the underfinancing category, 20 OPDs are in the overfinancing category, and 6 OPDs are in the reasonable cost category. These findings indicate that there is still an imbalance in the allocation of expenditure budgets in Tolitoli Regency. The implementation of ASB (Expenditure Standards Analysis) is expected to help the regional government to prepare a budget that is more effective, efficient, and on target, while also increasing transparency and accountability in the use of public funds.

The Role of Information Technology Education in Improving Human Resource Quality in the Technology Sector

2026-01-01T15:31:28+00:00

The rapid development of information technology requires human resources (HR) who are adaptive, competent, and competitive. This study analyzes the role of information technology education in improving HR quality in the technology sector through a systematic literature review of Indonesian studies. The findings show that IT education, in both formal settings (schools and universities) and non-formal programs (courses, certifications, and industry-based training), significantly enhances technical skills such as programming, cybersecurity, and data analysis, while also developing non-technical skills like communication, collaboration, and problem-solving. Technology-based learning models, including e-learning, blended learning, and project-based learning, have proven to expand access, increase effectiveness, and foster innovation in learning. Collaboration between educational institutions, industry, and government is essential to align curricula with workforce needs. Despite challenges such as limited infrastructure, unequal internet access, and varying educator capacities, the study confirms that investing in IT education is a strategic approach to developing high quality human resources and supporting national competitiveness in the digital era.

Workaholism Sebagai Mediator Antara Stres Keuangan Dan Strategi Bertahan Hidup Generasi Sandwich

2026-01-08T03:09:41+00:00

This study aims to understand how workaholism mediates financial stress and the adaptive strategies of the sandwich generation, and how Islamic values influence the meaning and justification of this behavior. This study uses a qualitative approach with a phenomenological method to explore in depth the subjective experiences of individuals in interpreting financial stress and the urge to overwork. Primary data were obtained through in-depth interviews with participants who met the criteria for the sandwich generation, while secondary data were sourced from academic literature, documents, and relevant previous studies. This study analysis uses the Transactional Model of Stress and Coping theory by Lazarus and Folkman and the Religious Coping theory by Kenneth Pargament. These two theories were chosen because they are able to explain how individuals deal with economic stress through two main approaches: problem-focused coping through hard work and emotion-focused coping through spiritual values such as tawakal (trust), patience, and contentment (qana'ah). This study is expected to contribute to the psychological and religious understanding of workaholism behavior in the sandwich generation, while also enriching scientific studies on the balance between economic responsibility, spirituality, and mental health in the context of Indonesian culture.

Fluctuation in the Income of Rubber Farmers in Tingkea’o Village: The Contribution of Production Costs and Selling Price

2026-01-16T17:15:25+00:00

This study aims to analyze the contribution of production costs, particularly fertilizer and pesticide costs, as well as the selling price of rubber sap to the income fluctuations of rubber farmers in Tingkea'o Village, North Morowali. Using a quantitative descriptive analysis approach with SEM PLS analysis processed through WarpPLS V.8.0 software. Data were collected from 34 rubber farmers randomly through structured interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The results show that fertilizer and pesticide costs contribute significantly and positively to rubber farmers' income, with path coefficients of 0.419 and 0.342, respectively (p-value < 0.001). Conversely, the selling price has no significant effect (p-value = 0.205). The independent variable model explains 41.5% of the variation in income, with the remainder influenced by other external factors. This study reinforces the farming theory of optimizing production costs to improve farmers' livelihoods, while also revealing the limited influence of selling prices due to market structure and the role of middlemen. The strategic recommendations provided can form the basis for policies to support the development of sustainable rubber farming and improve the welfare of farmers in the region.

Pengaruh Adat Lunang Baduy Dalam dan Adat Lunang Baduy Luar Terhadap Keputusan Memilih Presiden dan Wakil Presiden pada Pemilu 2024

2026-01-16T17:17:01+00:00

This study aims to determine the influence of the Lunang custom adopted by the Inner Baduy and Outer Baduy communities on the decision to elect the President and Vice President in the 2024 General Election. This study uses a descriptive quantitative method involving 140 respondents from the Baduy community in Kanekes Village, Lebak Regency, Banten Province. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, then analyzed using descriptive statistics to determine trends and patterns of political decision-making. The results show that the Inner Baduy community tends to be politically neutral based on customary law and spiritual beliefs that emphasize separation from external political affairs. In contrast, the Outer Baduy community shows selective participation influenced by the process of cultural adaptation to the outside world. This study concludes that differences in interpretation and application of the Lunang custom between the two communities have a significant influence on their political decisions, reflecting the role of customary values in shaping democratic participation in Indonesia.

Obstacles and Strategies for Implementing the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Curriculum at Theological College X

2026-01-16T17:12:41+00:00

Education in Indonesia is continuously evolving through curriculum development based on the Indonesian National Qualifications Framework (KKNI). One of the latest initiatives is the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM), introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and centred on the concept of Merdeka Belajar (Independent Learning). However, implementing the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka Curriculum in Theological Colleges (Sekolah Tinggi Teologi) faces several challenges, including a limited understanding of educational regulations, inadequate human resources, and insufficient funding. This study employs a qualitative, phenomenological approach to analyse the barriers faced by Sekolah Tinggi Teologi X in implementing the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program. The results indicate that several aspects of MBKM are implementable, including: Lectures outside the primary study program, field service practice (PPL), an assessment system that does not require mandatory mid-semester or final exams. Conversely, other components remain difficult to execute, such as student exchange programs, entrepreneurship initiatives, and independent studies or projects. This study recommends that stakeholders analyse self-training strategies, evaluate the current curriculum, and develop a partnership strategy to accelerate the implementation of the Merdeka Curriculum in Theological Colleges.

The Concept of Tauhid and Adab in the Malay World: A Review of the Epistemology of Islamic Educational Philosophy

2026-01-16T17:01:10+00:00

Islamic education has two main pillars, namely monotheism and adab, which are the foundation in shaping individual character and knowledge. Tawhid instills awareness of the oneness of Allah as the main basis for pursuing knowledge, while adab is a moral guideline that ensures that knowledge is practiced responsibly and ethically. In the tradition of Islamic education in the Malay world, the integration between tauhid and adab has been inherited by scholars who emphasize the importance of a balance between knowledge, faith, and morals. However, in the era of globalization, this concept faces great challenges due to the secularization of education and rapid technological development. Therefore, it is necessary to revitalize Islamic education based on monotheism and adab through strengthening the curriculum, innovating learning methods, and increasing awareness of the importance of Islamic values in the world of education. Thus, Islamic education can continue to contribute to producing a generation that has intellectual intelligence as well as high moral and spiritual integrity.

Integration and Interconnection of Islam and Science to Strengthen the Islamic Education Curriculum

2026-01-16T16:58:29+00:00

The Islamic Religious Education (PAI) curriculum plays a strategic role in shaping students who are not only religiously devout but also scientifically literate and responsive to the dynamics of modern civilization. The integration and interconnection between Islam and science serves as a crucial paradigm for strengthening the PAI curriculum, preventing the dichotomy between religious and scientific knowledge. This study aims to examine the concept of Islamic–scientific integration and interconnection and its implications for reinforcing the PAI curriculum in the modern era. This research employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach. The findings indicate that the integration of Islam and science positions revelation (the Qur'an and Hadith) as the primary source of knowledge that aligns with the empirical findings of modern science. This approach enriches the PAI curriculum by harmoniously linking spiritual, moral, and rational values, making Islamic education more contextual, relevant, and meaningful. Therefore, strengthening the PAI curriculum through the integration and interconnection of Islam and science can foster a generation that is religiously grounded, intellectually critical, and scientifically insightful, ready to face the challenges of the era of artificial intelligence and globalization.
