Enhancing The Usage Of Microlearning System In Public Sector

This study explores the factors influencing the use of microlearning in the public sector by applying the DeLone and McLean Information Systems Success Model (DMISM). The study focuses on the role of overall quality, compatibility, and transformational leadership in shaping the actual use of microlearning systems. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 317 employees of Indonesian Government Financial Institutions (Lembaga Keuangan Pemerintah) through an online survey. The data were analyzed using covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) in LISREL 8.8. The results indicate that overall quality, compatibility, and transformational leadership have significant and positive impacts on the actual use of microlearning systems. Among these factors, compatibility emerged as the strongest predictor of use. The findings suggest that improving the quality of microlearning content, aligning it with employee preferences, and developing a supportive leadership environment are key to increasing the adoption and effectiveness of microlearning in public sector organizations. Further research is recommended to explore other potential factors and expand the scope to other government sectors

A Renewable Energy Program to Address Power Dynamics in East Sumba, Indonesia

The Indonesian government's commitment to sustainable development includes reducing emissions by 29% by 2030, with initiatives like the Sumba Iconic Island, which aims to provide 100% renewable energy on Sumba Island. Despite the economic opportunities this initiative offers, women in Sumba, especially in remote areas like Luku Wingir Village, face significant barriers, including limited access to energy resources and exclusion from decision-making processes due to traditional power dynamics and caste systems. This research aims to explore how renewable energy programs can address these challenges and promote gender equality. Using qualitative methods such as desk research, interviews, and focus group discussions, the research examines the potential of renewable energy initiatives to transform gender norms and empower marginalized groups. The results suggest that such programs can positively influence women's economic participation and improve overall rural community well-being by challenging existing power dynamics. The research’s findings have important implications for the design and implementation of inclusive renewable energy initiatives, particularly in fostering gender equity and sustainable development in rural areas.

Healthy city development: Indonesian government plans to build a new capital city

The urgency of urban health in Indonesia is very worrying because most of Indonesia’s population now lives in urban areas with minimal supporting infrastructure. That prompted this study to analyze the government’s response to the healthy city development plan in the new capital city. This study uses a qualitative approach that focuses on thematic analysis. It helps check official government documents related to healthy city development plans. The relevant documents that were found were in the form of regulations. This regulation is Law of the Republic of Indonesia Number 3 of 2022 concerning the National Capital (Ibu Kota Negara, IKN). This official document was coded by maximizing the analysis tool, namely NVivo 12 Plus. This study succeeded in mapping several bare references in the healthy city development plan for the new capital city by the Indonesian government. Some of these primary references include the healthy city model (World Health Organization, WHO), the healthy city strategy (Cardiff), and (Vancouver). All of these primary references aim to improve the quality of life of residents in cities through city development that focuses on health. However, there are several challenges that the Indonesian government may face in the future, including problems with air pollution, environmentally friendly transportation, and the provision of green public spaces, health facilities, universal health services, and other infrastructure. This all requires adequate capacity and budget plans, including ensuring transparency in budget management. This study also encourages collaboration between the government, the private sector, and civil society to support the development of healthy cities that run well and sustainably.

Electric vehicle adoption in Indonesia: Lesson learned from developed and developing countries

This study investigates the factors influencing electric vehicle (EV) adoption in both developed and developing nations, with a particular focus on Indonesia's national strategy for EV promotion as mandated by Presidential Regulation Number 55/2019. Despite the Indonesian government's efforts, EV market penetration remains minimal, accounting for <1 % of total car sales as of 2021. This paper explores the critical factors driving EV adoption globally, revealing key differences between developed and developing countries. In developed nations, psychological factors such as personal moral norms and environmental awareness play a dominant role, while in developing countries, government policies and financial incentives are more influential. The socio-economic and cultural contexts in Indonesia present unique challenges, including lower consumer awareness, limited infrastructure, and economic disparities, which hinder widespread EV adoption. By integrating insights from global trends and the specific conditions in Indonesia, this study provides policy recommendations tailored to Indonesia's context, offering lessons for effective EV adoption strategies in similar developing nations.

Indonesian Teaching Factory: The Recent Breakthrough in Education at Vocational High Schools

&lt;em&gt;Vocational High Schools (VHS) were established to prepare students to work in specific fields. VHS previously used various learning models, but in recent years, they have focused on The Teaching Factory Learning Model. Some VHS that used other learning models previously produced VHS graduate results that did not meet expectations, contributing to a high unemployment rate in Indonesia. This research aims to assess the implementation of The Teaching Factory Learning Model in VHS in Indonesia. It uses a qualitative research approach with a literature study method. The results of this research are: (1) The Teaching Factory Learning Model is the primary choice of learning model implemented by VHS in Indonesia, (2) Vocational Education in Indonesia recognizes three types of TeFa implementation, including (a) VHS providing space for industrial partners, ( b) VHS working with industrial partners to build a shared space outside their location, and (c) VHS conducting learning at the industrial partner's location. The Indonesian government has issued various regulations and revitalized the Teaching Factory to support the successful implementation of this learning model in VHS&lt;/em&gt;

State of Reciprocity: The “Looping Effect” in the Circular Production of Colonial Knowledge, Social Customs, and Tax Policy in Nineteenth- and Twentieth-Century Indonesia

Abstract This article traces Hacking's “looping effect” in colonial policies and practices of taxation, coerced labour, and governance in Indonesia. It argues that knowledge production for the purpose of taxation was a two-way, interactive process which was in particular influenced by complexes of local indigenous social organization, institutions, mentalities, and behaviour as expressed through adat (Indonesian systems of political-social norms and customary law). Such patterns and systems, the article reveals, were internalized into and started working reciprocally with colonial policy, knowledge production, and administrative practices. Taxation made up and changed people, but underlying strategies to categorize and “make known” subjects were also recognized and actively used, evaded, or influenced by these subjects and by local intermediaries. Consequently, colonial knowledge created an institutional framework that reoriented the self-perception of these subjects and intermediaries, which then changed and reconditioned popular responses to the colonial state. Systems of colonial knowledge were thus modified to eventually fit the realities they were supposed to describe, influence, and legitimize, creating a looping effect between colonial, “made up,” and actual social realities.

ASEAN, and Indonesia’s Rising Influence In The Region

When one looks at the world map, Indonesia is not really visible in a very obvious manner, due to it being an archipelago, scattered over thousands of islands in South East Asia. However, when one reads into it, they realize that it is actually the fourth most populous country on earth, and holds quite a bit of diplomatic power as well. Indonesia is one of the founding members of ASEAN, the Association of South-East Asian Nations. ASEAN houses major natural resources, a huge chunk of Earth’s population, and together, the 10 ASEAN member states form one of the busiest trade routes in the world. To keep it simple, ASEAN is a really important organisation, and Indonesia, being one of the founding members, as well as the largest country in it, acts as the de-facto leader. Unfortunately, Indonesia is prone to many natural disasters due to its unfortunate geographic location, smack in the Pacific Ring of Fire. Recent major disasters have weakened Indonesia’s position, and many countries now do not consider Indonesia as the de-facto leader of ASEAN. This research focuses on Indonesia’s rise and fall as the undisputed leader of ASEAN, and what the future holds in store for Indonesia. To conduct this research, numerous research papers have been referred to and cited, as well as fresh information has been collected on a primary data basis. The primary data is collected by interviewing 15 Indonesian citizens, as well as senior officials at the Consulate General of Indonesia, Mumbai. Thus, the research presents the observations derived from interviewing two sides, the perspective of the Indonesian citizens, as well as the perspective of the Indonesian government. The research aims to answer some questions such as if Indonesia is prepared to tackle the current and future issues arising in ASEAN, being the leader. The research goes a step further to figure out if the Pacific Ring of Fire affects the geopolitics of Indonesia, and finally, the research looks at if the Indonesian government, and their people, the citizens look eye to eye? All of the interviews of the Indonesian citizens have been conducted virtually via Google Forms, and a meeting at the Consulate was set up in Mumbai to get the government’s perspective.

Troops Preparation Policy On A World Peace Mission

Indonesia’s involvement in peacekeeping missions has long been a key part of its foreign policy, contributing to world peace as outlined in Republic of Indonesia Law Number 37 of 1999 concerning Foreign Relations. This study aims to analyze the government's policy implementation regarding troop preparation for world peace missions, particularly in relation to Indonesia's role as a Troops Contributing Country (TCC) to the United Nations (UN). The research utilizes a qualitative descriptive approach to understand the intricacies of the troop preparation process through George Edward III's policy implementation model, which emphasizes the importance of disposition, communication, resources, and bureaucracy. Data were collected through document analysis, interviews, and observation of relevant practices in Indonesian military operations. The findings highlight that the personnel selection process for peacekeeping missions is highly structured, requiring compliance with rigorous standards set by both the Indonesian government and the UN. The pre-deployment training, supervised by the TNI (Indonesian National Army) Headquarters, ensures that selected personnel are adequately prepared for their assignments. This comprehensive preparation includes mental and physical readiness, as well as the necessary technical and language skills. The results also emphasize the importance of strong inter-agency coordination, particularly between the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, to ensure the success of these missions. Furthermore, the study reveals that budgetary and resource constraints remain significant challenges in sustaining peacekeeping operations. In conclusion, Indonesia's contribution to global peacekeeping missions underscores the nation's commitment

Data Leakage of the Indonesian Elections Commission in Legal Aspects of Personal Data Protection

Hackers illegally accessed the Indonesian General Elections Commission’s (KPU) voter data system to collect voter data to sell to third parties. The regulation requires accountability for voter data leakage to protect people’s privacy rights in Indonesia’s personal data protection concept. Legal analysis of the modus operandi of personal data sales cases results in patterns of information system vulnerabilities, which can then be used to prevent personal data leakage and improve voter data protection in Indonesian elections. One of the reasons for passing the personal data protection law is the rampant cases of confidential data leakage that occur in government and private institutions in Indonesia. Hackers of voter data systems aim to profit from personal data sold to third parties. The role of the cybersecurity task force team needs to be improved with more concrete arrangements in law enforcement, and mitigating voter data leakage can provide legitimacy for the implementation of credible, reliable, and professional elections in Indonesia. Establishing the task force will optimize the application of voter data systems in conducting general elections in Indonesia and improve personal data protection.

Penanganan Sampah Laut di Indonesia : A Review

Indonesia produces 33,113,277.69 tons of waste per year, in which 13,455,925.41 tons are unmanaged waste. From these data, it can be seen that Indonesia is still experiencing problems in waste management. Unmanaged waste is at risk of being carried away by river currents that lead to the sea., Not only land-based waste, marine debris must also be adressed. Marine debris could possibly come from activities on land or at sea. Marine debris consists of three categories; macro, meso and micro marine debris. This paper is a narrative-review on how to dealt with marine debris in Indonesia. Several methods have been done by the Indonesian government to dealt with marine debris. In 2018, the Indonesian government issued Presidential regulation number 83 of 2018, concerning the handling of marine debris. Besides that, Indonesian government also formed National Plan of Action (NPOA) and opened itself to foreign investors to invest on that action plan, especially on adressing marine plastic debris. In addition to forming special team and supporting regulations, the complexity of marine debris problems must also be resolved by integrated research on marine debris, and also make changes on Indonesian human resources‘ mentality and mindset.

Authority of the Corruption Eradication Commission After the Promulgation of Law Number 19 of 2019 About the Eradication Commission Corruption Crime

A clean government is one that operates free from collusion, corruption, and nepotism. The Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) has long been established to combat corruption in Indonesia. However, the amendment to the KPK Law through Law Number 19 of 2019 has sparked controversy. This amendment has reduced the KPK’s authority, and the introduction of a Supervisory Board with stronger authority than the KPK commissioners has raised concerns about weakening the commission’s ability to perform its duties. The objective of this research is to analyze the impact of changes in the KPK's authority following the issuance of Law Number 19 of 2019. This research uses a normative legal approach, applying both the statute and conceptual approaches. The legal materials are processed using descriptive legal analysis to examine the implications of the legal changes. The findings reveal significant changes in the KPK’s authority between Law Number 30 of 2002 and Law Number 19 of 2019. The study concludes that the enhanced authority of the Supervisory Board has negatively impacted the effectiveness of the KPK in fulfilling its responsibilities, raising concerns about its ability to optimally combat corruption. The implications of this research suggest that the reduction in the KPK’s authority and the increased role of the Supervisory Board may hinder efforts to eradicate corruption, thus affecting the overall integrity of governance in Indonesia.

Do gender diversity and foreign investor affect sustainability disclosure

AbstractWe examine the effect of female board members and foreign institutional investors on corporate social responsibility (sustainability) disclosure in Indonesian listed firms from 2015 to 2017. Our final sample comprised 1192 firm‐year observations. We apply ordinary least squares pool regression to estimate the associations and address the endogeneity problem using the two‐stage least squares model, generalized method of moments, and lagged variables. While previous studies have focused on the impact of female board members and foreign institutional investors on financial outcomes, we extend the literature by investigating the association between both female board members and foreign investors and sustainable disclosure in Indonesia, where the participation of women is nominal, especially at the top management level, and the level of foreign ownership is high. Our findings propose a proportion of women as board members for listed firms and promote attractive policies to increase the number of foreign investors investing in Indonesia. It also contributes to conflicting results regarding the relationship between corporate governance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) commitment. Our results were robust after testing for endogeneity and adding more control variables. Overall, the findings have practical implications for policymakers and investors regarding corporate disclosure and governance in Indonesia.

The Influence of Transformational Leadership and Organizational Justice on Innovative Work Behavior: the Mediating Role of Psychological Capital and Knowledge Sharing

Innovative work behavior is every Civil Servant (PNS) must have to encourage individuals to produce new thoughts, methods and work processes that can be used to increase organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Research on innovative work behavior for civil servants still needs to be widely researched, especially in developing countries. For this reason, this research aims to identify the influence of transformational leadership, organizational justice, psychological capital, and knowledge sharing on innovative work behavior. Data collection was carried out in a single cross-sectional using purposive sampling. The research sample was obtained from Civil Servants who work at State Institutions of Government in Indonesia. The data was processed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with the Partial Least Square SEM (PLS-SEM) with 385 respondents. The results of this study prove a positive and significant relationship between transformational leadership, organizational justice, psychological capital, and knowledge sharing on innovative work behavior. In addition, empirical results show that psychological capital and knowledge sharing can partially mediate the relationship between transformational leadership and organizational justice on innovative work behavior. State Institutions of Government are expected to receive input and suggestions regarding the implementation of leadership and organizational policies so that employees have a positive psychology and a desire to share knowledge and skills so that they can create new ideas as organizational innovations.

Projecting the long‐run impact of an economic reform: The case of the Indonesian Omnibus Law

Indonesia has been seeking to improve its investment climate. The most recent development in this process is the enactment of a ‘Job Creation Law’, which aims to achieve improvement in the investment climate through simplifying red tape, eliminating large numbers of overlapping regulations, and adopting a Risk‐Based Assessment approach to business licensing. In parallel with this development, the Indonesian Government is pursuing an Import Substitution Strategy (ISS) to help preserve external balance while fostering local activity. In this paper, the recursive dynamic GDyn‐FS model of the global economy is used to highlight the positive impacts of improving the investment climate, on national investment and trade over time, and the flow‐on impacts to industries and households. On the other hand, the analysis indicates that the pursuit of an ISS, while possibly favouring protected activities, is likely to act as an ongoing drag on the wider economy.

Government Communication Strategies in Combating Online Gambling in Indonesia

Online gambling has become one of the biggest challenges faced by the Indonesian government in recent decades. This study uses a qualitative approach with a case study design to analyze the government's communication strategy in combating online gambling in Indonesia. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with online gambling victims, conducted directly and via the Zoom and Google Meet platforms. Thematic analysis techniques were used to analyze data. The results show that the communication strategies of the government in tackling online gambling have not been fully effective, mainly due to limitations in message delivery, use of communication channels, and enforcement of regulations. It is hoped that through this collaborative approach, the prevalence of online gambling can be significantly reduced, and the community can be better protected from its negative impacts. This research is expected to serve as a reference for future studies in the fields of communication, law, and public policy related to online gambling.

Evaluasi Pemekaran 6 Provinsi di Papua: Studi Pandangan Tokoh Adat Papua

The expansion policy regulated in Law Number 2 of 2021 mandates the formation of three new provinces in Papua, namely South Papua, Central Papua, and Mountainous Papua. They believe that expansion will bring more attention and resources to areas that have been neglected. The purpose of this study is to look at the impact of provincial expansion in Papua from the perspective of indigenous leaders, given that this policy has created six new provinces in the country. As part of the Indonesia government's efforts to improve administrative efficiency and accelerate development, these changes have generated a lot of response from the community, especially from indigenous Papuan leaders who have an important role in the country's social and cultural structure. This study uses a qualitative approach with literature review to reveal the subjective views and experiences of indigenous leaders related to provincial expansion. The results of the study show that traditional leaders support and oppose this expansion policy. Support comes from those who believe that expansion can accelerate progress and well-being, while objections stem from concerns that it could disrupt social and cultural stability. This research helps to understand the impact of expansion from the perspective of indigenous leaders, emphasizes that cultural and social aspects must be considered when making expansion policies, and suggests that an inclusive and local wisdom-based approach should be applied in Papua's development process.
