Artificial intelligence for employee engagement and productivity

The “new normal” era has made remote work the new standard, making the use of artificial intelligence (AI) increasingly important. Therefore, this study aims to investigate employee perceptions of change leadership in the application of AI that affects employee engagement and productivity according to the resource-based view (RBV). Of the 467 respondents who worked in the banking industry in West Sumatra province, Indonesia, only 359 met the eligibility requirements. The partial least squares (PLS) analysis shows a direct relationship between AI and employee engagement (p < 0.05) and productivity (p < 0.05), as well as employee engagement and employee productivity (p < 0.05). The effect of AI on employee productivity is mediated by employee engagement (p < 0.05), but the moderating effect provided by change leadership is not significant (p > 0.05) in increasing employee productivity. These findings will help managers create a positive work environment through the application of AI, resulting in higher employee engagement and productivity. Specifically, these findings help organizations integrate AI more effectively and provide managers with a comprehensive understanding of the considerations needed to increase productivity through employee engagement for organizational competitiveness.

The Material and Energy Conversion Potential from Municipal Waste in Padang City: Business Chance and Future Prospective

Padang City, the capital city of West Sumatra Province, is expected to grow and reach a population of 1 million by 2035. However, this growth also means an increase in municipal solid waste, projected to be about 256,000 tons annually. At the same time, there is potential for waste-to-energy conversion in Padang City due to the demand for renewable energy and business opportunities. This study is based on existing literature and data, which were analyzed using a statistical approach and municipal solid waste management calculations. The study conducted scenarios that show potential energy conversions. The first scenario involves converting solid waste to gas and using it directly as biogas. The second scenario involves converting biogas from solid waste to electricity and distributing it for household use. The last scenario consists of using small and medium-sized biodigesters to convert gas into electricity, which will then be used as a charging station for electric vehicles (EVs). The first scenario can generate the most significant profit, while the third scenario suits small and medium businesses. However, each scenario has its pros and cons. Still, it's crucial to consider regulation issues, government support, and public awareness of the environmental problems to implement these waste-to-energy conversion practices on-site successfully.
