Understanding Repurchase Intention in Digital Consumption: The Role of Perceived Benefits, Gamification, Online Persuasion, and Consumer Attitude
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the influence of perceived benefits, gamification, and online persuasion on repurchase intention, with consumer attitude serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative survey approach was employed by collecting data from 294 respondents who had prior experience purchasing from digital-based coffee shop services. The sampling technique used purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The results reveal that perceived benefits, gamification, and online persuasion have positive and significant effects on both consumer attitude and repurchase intention. Furthermore, consumer attitude significantly mediates the relationship between these three variables and repurchase intention, indicating that consumers’ evaluative responses play a crucial role in translating digital marketing stimuli into repeat purchase behavior. These findings highlight the importance of enhancing interactive digital features, emphasizing both functional and emotional value, and developing culturally relevant online communication strategies. Such strategies can strengthen consumer attitudes, improve engagement with digital platforms, and ultimately encourage stronger repurchase intention among consumers in increasingly competitive digital service environments.

Servant Leadership, Service Management Support, and Digital Literacy as Determinants of Teacher Performance
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the influence of principals’ servant leadership, service management support, and teachers’ digital literacy on teacher performance. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method. The study involved 40 teachers selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed via an online form, and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the SmartPLS application. The findings indicate that principals’ servant leadership and service management support have positive but statistically insignificant effects on teacher performance. In contrast, teachers’ digital literacy has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance and emerges as the most dominant variable in the research model. Simultaneously, the three independent variables contribute to teacher performance, with digital literacy playing the most substantial role. These results suggest that teacher performance in contemporary educational environments is more strongly influenced by teachers’ individual competencies in utilizing digital technologies than by leadership and managerial support alone. Therefore, strengthening teachers’ digital literacy should become a strategic priority in efforts to improve teacher performance in schools.

ESG Disclosure, Financial Performance, and Firm Value: The Mediating Role of Competitive Advantage
type: item
description: Understanding how sustainability disclosure and financial performance shape firm value remains an important issue in corporate governance and capital market studies. The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure and financial performance on firm value, with competitive advantage acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed using panel data from 46 publicly listed companies over the 2021–2024 period. The analysis utilized panel regression combined with path analysis to evaluate both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings indicate that financial performance has a positive and significant effect on firm value, confirming its central role in determining market valuation. In contrast, ESG disclosure does not show a significant direct effect on firm value. Furthermore, ESG disclosure demonstrates a negative relationship with competitive advantage, while financial performance positively influences competitive advantage. Mediation analysis reveals that competitive advantage does not mediate the relationship between ESG disclosure and firm value but partially mediates the relationship between financial performance and firm value. These findings imply that companies should strengthen financial performance as a strategic foundation while integrating ESG practices more effectively to enhance long-term competitive positioning and firm value.

Work Fulfillment in Hybrid Work Systems: The Role of Work–Life Balance, Flexible Work Arrangements, and Employee Engagement
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the influence of work–life balance and flexible work arrangements on work fulfillment among Generation Z employees in hybrid work systems, with employee engagement acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative research design was employed by collecting data from 200 Generation Z employees who had at least one year of experience working in a hybrid system. Data were gathered through an online questionnaire using validated measurement scales and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The results reveal that work–life balance and flexible work arrangements have a positive and significant effect on employee Engagement and work fulfillment. Employee engagement also significantly influences work fulfillment and partially mediates the relationships between work–life balance, flexible work arrangements, and work fulfillment. The model shows moderate explanatory power with R² values of 0.315 for employee engagement and 0.371 for work fulfillment. These findings imply that organizations should design hybrid work policies that emphasize balanced work-life boundaries, structured flexibility, and engagement-enhancing practices to improve sustainable work fulfillment among Generation Z employees.

Macroeconomic and Firm-Level Determinants of Bank Stock Returns: The Role of Interest Rates, Inflation, Profitability, and Firm Size
type: item
description: This research examines the influence of the BI Rate, inflation, profitability (ROA), and firm size on banking stock returns. The analysis applies a quantitative approach using panel data regression with the Common Effect Model (CEM). The sample consists of 39 banking companies selected through purposive sampling, with observations covering the 2021–2024 period. Secondary data were analyzed using EViews 12 to evaluate the relationship between macroeconomic indicators and firm characteristics on stock returns. The results show that the BI Rate and inflation have a negative and significant effect on stock returns, while firm size has a positive and significant effect. In contrast, profitability (ROA) does not have a significant effect on banking stock returns. Simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence stock returns, indicating that both macroeconomic conditions and firm characteristics jointly shape investor responses in the capital market. These findings imply that interest rate policy and inflation dynamics are important macroeconomic signals that influence investor behavior, while firm size reflects stability that can attract investment interest. Therefore, investors should consider macroeconomic trends and company scale when making investment decisions, while bank management needs to strengthen financial credibility and transparency to improve market confidence.

The findings indicate that the local content curriculum plays a significant role in introducing regional languages, arts, and traditional crafts, while also fostering students’ cultural awareness and strengthening their sense of identity within the national cultural framework. Furthermore, the implementation of local content learning provides opportunities for students to develop knowledge, attitudes, and skills that are closely related to the potential and needs of their local environment. The study implies that strengthening the implementation of the local content curriculum is essential for promoting culturally responsive education and supporting the preservation of local cultural heritage within the national education system.

Influencer Marketing and TikTok Electronic Word of Mouth: Examining Their Effects on Repurchase Intention with Brand Trust as a Mediator
type: item
description: The rapid growth of social media, particularly TikTok, has transformed how consumers build relationships with brands and develop intentions to repurchase products. This study aims to examine the effects of influencer marketing and electronic word of mouth (eWOM) on repurchase intention, with brand trust acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative research approach was employed using a survey of 200 active TikTok users who had previously purchased or tried products promoted on the platform. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that influencer marketing has a significant effect on both repurchase intention and brand trust. Meanwhile, TikTok eWOM significantly influences brand trust but does not directly affect repurchase intention. Brand trust is found to have a significant effect on repurchase intention and plays an important mediating role in strengthening the relationship between influencer marketing, eWOM, and repurchase intention. These findings highlight the importance of building brand trust to transform digital marketing communication into sustainable consumer loyalty and repeated purchase behavior in social media–driven markets.

Implementing Islamic Financial Literacy to Foster Saving Habits in Early Childhood
type: item
description: Sharia financial literacy plays a strategic role in shaping responsible financial behavior aligned with Islamic values from an early age. The habit of saving is a relevant form of implementing Sharia financial literacy to instill a sense of trustworthiness, self-control, and awareness of wise wealth management. In the context of early childhood education, the application of Sharia financial literacy needs to be contextualized and sustainable so that the introduced values can be internalized in children's daily behavior. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach conducted at Tadika Didik Bistari Gemilang Malaysia. Data were obtained through observation of learning activities, in-depth interviews with the headmaster, class teachers, parents, and children aged 5–6, and supported by documentation of activities. The study results indicate that Sharia financial literacy is implemented through the habit of saving integrated into children's learning activities, such as direct practice of saving and the use of simple media appropriate to the child's developmental stage. This hands-on, experience-based approach increases children's engagement and helps them understand the concrete meaning of saving. Consistently practicing these habits has a positive impact on children's behavior, as reflected in increased savings habits, greater caution in using pocket money, and the ability to delay desires. These findings confirm that Islamic financial literacy, implemented from an early age, plays a crucial role in developing potentially responsible and sustainable financial behavior when supported by synergy between the school and family environments.

Environmental Concern, Subjective Norm, Eco Labels, and Green Purchase Intention: The Moderating Role of Social Media Information in the FMCG Industry
type: item
description: Plastic pollution has become a global environmental issue with serious ecological consequences. Reports from the United Nations Environment Programme indicate that global plastic waste production exceeds 400 million tons annually, with a significant portion originating from packaging waste generated by the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry. This study aims to analyze the influence of Environmental Concern (EC), Subjective Norm (SN), and Eco Labels (EL) on Green Purchase Intention (GPI), while also examining the moderating role of Social Media Information (SMI). The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey of 210 consumers selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3 at a 5% significance level. The results reveal that Environmental Concern, Subjective Norm, Eco Labels, and Social Media Information have a positive and significant effect on Green Purchase Intention. Furthermore, Social Media Information does not moderate the relationship between Environmental Concern and Green Purchase Intention, but it significantly moderates the relationship between Subjective Norm and Green Purchase Intention. These findings provide empirical contributions to the literature on green consumer behavior and offer practical implications for strengthening sustainable marketing strategies and environmental communication in the FMCG sector.

The Effect of Green Finance and Corporate Social Responsibility on Profitability with Capital Adequacy Ratio as A Moderating Variable
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the effect of green finance and corporate social responsibility (CSR) on profitability and to examine the moderating role of the capital adequacy ratio (CAR). This research employs a quantitative approach using panel data regression analysis. The data used are secondary data obtained from the annual financial reports of banking companies over a five-year observation period. The sample consists of 16 banking companies with a total of 80 observations. The analytical model applied in this study is the Common Effect Model (CEM). The results show that green finance has a positive and significant effect on profitability, indicating that sustainable financial practices can enhance financial performance. In contrast, CSR does not have a significant effect on profitability. Furthermore, the moderation analysis reveals that CAR strengthens the relationship between green finance and profitability but does not moderate the relationship between CSR and profitability. These findings imply that the implementation of green finance plays an important role in improving banking profitability, particularly when supported by adequate capital strength. This study contributes to the development of the sustainable finance literature and provides insights for financial institutions in formulating strategic financial policies.

Beyond Convenience: Generation Z’s Perceptions of E-Wallet Use and Its Implications for Financial Literacy and Educational Management
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze Generation Z’s perceptions of the use of e-wallets such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, and MAE in their daily financial activities and to examine the implications for digital financial behavior and educational management. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design to obtain an in-depth understanding of users’ experiences with digital payment technologies. Informants were selected through purposive sampling based on the criteria of belonging to Generation Z and actively using at least one e-wallet application. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using interactive analysis techniques including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that Generation Z generally has positive perceptions of e-wallet usage, particularly regarding convenience, usefulness, and the integration of digital services that facilitate efficient transactions. However, ambivalent perceptions were also identified, especially related to concerns about data security and the potential for consumptive behavior due to promotional incentives such as cashback and discounts. These findings indicate that e-wallets are perceived not only as payment tools but also as part of the digital lifestyle of Generation Z. The study highlights the importance of strengthening digital financial literacy and responsible financial behavior through educational management strategies.

Driving Institutional Quality: Evaluating the Implementation of Internal Quality Assurance Models in Rural State Madrasahs
type: item
description: This study aims to evaluate how implementing an Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) contributes to improving institutional quality in a rural state madrasah. Educational quality disparities between urban and peripheral regions remain a persistent challenge, particularly for Islamic educational institutions that often face limitations in infrastructure, management capacity, and access to resources. Strengthening internal quality governance in madrasahs is therefore essential to ensure equitable and sustainable educational development. This research employs a qualitative descriptive case study conducted at a madrasah. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with key informants, and documentation analysis, and analyzed using an interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion verification. The findings reveal three major patterns. First, integrating a digital-based SPMI system improves transparency and enables real-time monitoring of institutional performance. Second, instructional leadership plays a crucial role in translating national curriculum policies into locally relevant pedagogical practices through mentoring and clinical supervision. Third, the madrasa demonstrates organizational responsiveness to students’ digital behavioral trends through structured digital literacy and ethical guidance programs. These findings contribute to the development of an adaptive quality management model for madrasahs and recommend strengthening digital governance and leadership capacity in similar educational institutions.

Transformational Leadership and Innovative Work Behavior Dimensions: Job Satisfaction as a Mediator in Public Healthcare
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership on innovative work behavior through its three dimensions idea generation, idea promotion, and idea realization with job satisfaction acting as a mediating variable in the context of public healthcare organizations. A quantitative explanatory approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed. Data were collected from 152 civil servants working at a regional public hospital in Indonesia using a structured questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. The results reveal that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on idea generation, idea promotion, idea realization, and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction also shows a positive and significant influence on idea generation and idea promotion but does not significantly affect idea realization. Furthermore, mediation analysis indicates that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between transformational leadership and both idea generation and idea promotion, while no mediating effect is found for idea realization. These findings imply that transformational leadership and employees’ positive work attitudes play an important role in encouraging innovation in public healthcare organizations, particularly in the early stages of innovation processes, highlighting the need for leaders to foster supportive work environments that enhance employee satisfaction and innovative engagement.

The Influence of Knowledge, Trust, Perceived Usefulness, Security, and Service Features on Customers’ Adoption of Internet Banking
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge, trust, perceived usefulness, security, and service features on customers’ decisions to use Internet Banking. The research employed a quantitative, associative research design to examine causal relationships among variables. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 120 bank customers who had previously used Internet Banking services. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression supported by statistical software to examine both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on customers’ decisions. The results show that knowledge, trust, perceived usefulness, security, and service features each have a positive and significant effect on customers’ decisions to use Internet Banking. Among these variables, perceived usefulness was found to be the most dominant factor influencing adoption decisions. The simultaneous test also indicates that all independent variables collectively have a significant effect on customers’ decisions to adopt Internet Banking services. These findings imply that improving customers’ understanding of digital banking, strengthening system security, building customer trust, and enhancing service features are essential strategies for increasing the adoption of Internet Banking services.

type: item
description: Effective implementation of the School Health Effort Program (UKS) is essential for promoting students’ health and fostering a healthy school environment. The purpose of this research is to examine the implementation of the School/Madrasah Health Effort Program through health education, health services, and the development of a healthy school environment. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed in this study. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving key informants such as the principal, UKS teachers, and students. The collected data were analyzed through the processes of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that the UKS program has been implemented through three main components.

Educational Management and Psychological Resilience: Effects of Role Conflict, Stress, Burnout on Job Satisfaction in Military Education Institutions
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the effects of role conflict and job stress on job satisfaction through burnout, while highlighting the role of psychological resilience within educational management contexts. A qualitative approach with a phenomenological design was employed to explore individuals’ lived experiences in managing organizational demands. Data were collected through in-depth, semi-structured interviews with purposively selected participants who had experienced workplace conflict and job-related stress. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis, including data condensation, display, and verification. The findings reveal that role conflict and job stress contribute to emotional exhaustion, decreased motivation, and negative work perceptions. Burnout emerges as a key mediating mechanism linking job demands to job satisfaction. However, individuals who demonstrate adaptive coping strategies—such as problem-focused coping, emotional regulation, and meaning-making—show higher psychological resilience and better job satisfaction. From an educational management perspective, leadership practices, communication systems, and institutional support significantly influence these psychological dynamics. This study implies that strengthening educational management strategies, including psychological support systems and stress management programs, is essential to enhance job satisfaction and sustain organizational effectiveness.

From Compliance to Competitive Advantage: Driving Sustainability Transformation in Indonesia’s Manufacturing Sector
type: item
description: This study aims to develop an integrative framework explaining how PESTEL dynamics and dynamic capabilities drive sustainability transformation in Indonesia’s manufacturing sector. Sustainability has become a strategic imperative due to escalating environmental crises and increasing global pressure on industries to align economic growth with ecological boundaries. However, a persistent gap remains between macro-level sustainability policies and their practical implementation, particularly in emerging economies characterized by institutional complexity and resource constraints. This research adopts a conceptual design using systematic literature scoping from major databases between 2021 and 2025 to ensure contemporary relevance. The analysis employs an inductive–deductive approach through theory mapping, construct refinement, and integration to synthesize a coherent framework. The findings reveal that PESTEL functions as an interconnected system rather than isolated factors, creating multidimensional pressures on firms. Organizational responses are heterogeneous, shaped by internal interpretive capacities rather than external forces alone. Dynamic capability acts as a strategic mediator through sensing, seizing, and transforming processes that enable firms to convert constraints into opportunities. Sustainability paradoxes further complicate decision-making and influence strategic outcomes. This study contributes theoretically by bridging macro and micro perspectives while offering practical guidance for managers and policymakers. Future research should empirically test the framework across sectors.

The Impact of Strategic HRM Practices on the Performance of Guidance and Counseling Teachers within Islamic Educational Frameworks
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the role of Strategic Human Resource Management (SHRM) in strengthening the performance of school counselors (Guidance and Counseling teachers) in Islamic educational institutions. This research employs a library research method, with data collected through a review of 30 relevant journal articles published within the last five years. Data analysis is conducted using a descriptive-analytical approach to gain an understanding of the integration between SHRM and counselor performance. The results indicate that counselor performance is a multidimensional construct influenced by both internal and external factors. This performance can be measured through key indicators, including the ability to plan guidance and counseling services, implement basic services, conduct individual and group counseling, engage in cross-professional collaboration, demonstrate understanding of professional ethics, manage administrative and counseling data, and carry out program evaluation and follow-up. All these indicators are closely related to SHRM pillars, namely competency-based recruitment and selection, continuous professional training and development, objective performance appraisal, and organizational support alongside a conducive work culture. This study emphasizes that strengthening counselor performance in Islamic educational institutions cannot be conducted partially but requires a systemic integration between performance indicators and SHRM practices.

Reconstruction of Kiai Management Based on Charismatic Leadership as a Model for Strengthening the Soft Skills of Abdi Ndalem Students in Islamic Boarding Schools
type: item
description: This research is motivated by the importance of strengthening soft skills in education, which has not been fully accommodated in the formal education system. Islamic boarding schools (pesantren) as value-based institutions have the potential to develop soft skills through the practice of student service. This study aims to reconstruct kiai management based on charismatic leadership as a model for strengthening the soft skills of student servants. The study used a qualitative approach with a case study design at the Al-Yasini Integrated Islamic Boarding School, through interviews, observations, and documentation. The results show that kiai management occurs culturally through values, role models, and interpersonal relationships, and that soft skills strengthening occurs through experiential learning in the practice of service. This study produces a conceptual model that integrates charismatic leadership, the service process, and soft skills strengthening. The contribution of this research lies in the development of a value-based Islamic education management model. It is concluded that kiai management is effective in shaping the character and social readiness of students in a sustainable manner.

Beyond Perceived Usefulness: Trust as a Generative Mechanism in AI-Driven Epistemic Transformation in Educational Management
type: item
description: This study aims to reposition the adoption of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in education as an epistemic transformation process by examining how digital literacy shapes multidimensional trust and how such trust mediates creativity as an expression of epistemic agency within educational management contexts. A constructivist grounded theory approach was employed, involving 24 participants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and analysis of AI-assisted academic tasks, and analyzed using open, axial, and selective coding with a constant comparative method. The findings reveal differentiated dimensions of digital literacy (operational, evaluative, reflective, and strategic) that produce layered forms of trust (functional, relational, and epistemic). Only reflective epistemic trust was found to stimulate generative creativity, while functional trust tended to result in reproductive use of AI. The study proposes a conceptual model of “Reflexive TrustMediated Epistemic Agency,” positioning trust as a generative mechanism linking digital literacy and creative transformation. The implications highlight the need for educational management to move beyond utility-based adoption frameworks by fostering evaluative and reflective digital literacy, ensuring that AI serves as a catalyst for meaningful learning transformation rather than merely a productivity tool.

Educational Financing Systems in Islamic Junior Secondary Schools: A Case Study
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze educational financing systems to improve the quality of education, focusing on three main aspects: planning, implementation, and financial accountability. A qualitative case study approach was employed, with data collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. The participants included school leaders and administrative staff responsible for financial management. The findings reveal that educational financing is systematically planned by identifying priority programs and determining student-related costs, followed by the preparation of an annual school budget plan based on students’ needs. In the implementation stage, government funding is primarily allocated to support national education standards, while additional funding sources, such as community contributions and donations, are used to address unmet needs. Financial accountability is maintained through annual financial reports detailing income and expenditures. The study implies that effective educational financing management requires structured planning, diversified funding sources, and transparent accountability practices. These elements are essential for ensuring financial sustainability and improving educational quality, particularly within the framework of educational management.

What Drives Gen Z to Apply? an Exploration of Work Expectations, Social Media Use, and Organizational Attractiveness in Indonesia
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the influence of work expectations on intention to apply among Generation Z in Indonesia, with a particular focus on the mediating roles of social media use and organizational attractiveness in the context of digital recruitment. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using a cross-sectional survey of 231 Generation Z individuals preparing to enter the labor market, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that work expectations do not have a direct effect on intention to apply; however, they significantly influence both social media use and organizational attractiveness. Furthermore, social media use has a significant positive effect on intention to apply, whereas organizational attractiveness does not show a significant influence. Mediation analysis indicates that social media use fully mediates the relationship between work expectations and intention to apply, while organizational attractiveness does not act as a mediator. These results imply that social media serves as a critical mechanism in translating job seekers’ expectations into application intentions, highlighting the importance for organizations to optimize digital recruitment strategies through interactive, informative, and engaging social media content to effectively attract Generation Z talent.

A Comparative Study of Total Quality Management (TQM) Implementation in Islamic Educational Institutions
type: item
description: This study aims to compare the implementation of Total Quality Management (TQM) in Islamic educational institutions by examining similarities and differences in the aspects of planning, implementation, and evaluation of educational quality. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation to capture both managerial practices and institutional values. The findings indicate that TQM is implemented through two distinct approaches: a systematic and modern model that emphasizes structured management and data-driven decision-making, and a traditional approach that prioritizes moral development and spiritual values. Despite these differences, both approaches share a common objective of improving educational quality based on Islamic principles. Furthermore, the study highlights that the integration of professional management practices with strong spiritual foundations creates a more comprehensive and sustainable quality management system. It implies that the success of TQM in Islamic education depends on balancing managerial effectiveness and spiritual commitment as a unified framework for continuous improvement.

Transformational Leadership as a Driver of International Accreditation: A Strategic Management Model for Private Higher Education
type: item
description: This study investigates the transformational leadership model employed by faculty deans in driving international accreditation achievement within private higher education. Employing a qualitative case study design with purposive sampling, data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with nine participants—a dean, five lecturers, and four students—and analyzed using systematic thematic analysis supported by ATLAS.ti software. The analysis identified three overarching themes that form a seven-dimensional, three-layer leadership model extending Bass and Riggio's (2006) framework by integrating foundational value dimensions with operational-contextual and impact dimensions: Idealized Influence as the foundation of institutional trust; Inspirational Motivation and Intellectual Stimulation as drivers of collective commitment; and Individualized Consideration and Strategic Leadership as mechanisms for sustainable institutional development. This model facilitated the international accreditation of three study programs, nearly doubled student enrollment, and measurably improved faculty performance. The findings offer a theoretically grounded and empirically validated reference for higher education leaders pursuing institutional internationalization.

The Spiritual Motivation from Az-Zarnuji’s View as a Management Strategy for Enhancing Students’ Aqidah Akhlaq Learning Achievement
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the influence of spiritual motivation based on Al-Zarnuji’s perspective on students’ Aqidah Akhlaq learning achievement, while integrating the educational management dimension of instructional supervision as a mediating context. A quantitative correlational design was employed, involving 88 Grade X students selected through total sampling. Data were collected using a spiritual motivation questionnaire (initially 40 items, reduced to 13 after validity testing) and documentation of semester scores. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation and simple linear regression. The results showed a positive relationship between spiritual motivation and learning achievement (r = 0.386), indicating a low to moderate correlation. Regression analysis revealed a positive effect of spiritual motivation on achievement (Y = 69.99 + 0.27X). These findings imply that spiritual motivation contributes meaningfully to academic performance, though its influence remains moderate. From an educational management perspective, the results underscore the importance of integrating instructional supervision and curriculum planning to systematically embed Al-Zarnuji’s spiritual motivation values into the teaching of Aqidah Akhlaq. This study offers practical implications for Islamic school administrators in designing motivation-based academic policies. .

Educational Management of Character Values Based on Ta’limul Muta’allim: Strengthening Ethical Practices among Santri
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the implementation of character education values based on Ta’limul Muta’allim and their role in shaping the ethical behavior of santri, with a focus on the learning process, influencing factors, and educational management practices. A qualitative field research approach was employed, with data collected through observation, indepth interviews, and documentation involving teachers, administrators, and students. Data analysis was conducted using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing through an inductive approach, while validity was ensured through source and technique triangulation. The findings reveal that the learning process is carried out through traditional methods such as bandongan and sorogan, combined with direct character value internalization. The implemented values include sincerity, humility (tawadhu’), discipline, patience, and respect for teachers, which are reflected in students’ daily behavior. These values contribute to the development of ethical attitudes such as respect, responsibility, and obedience to institutional rules. Supporting factors include a religious environment, teacher role modeling, and structured habituation, while inhibiting factors involve differences in student backgrounds and levels of awareness. The study implies that effective educational management, particularly in planning, supervision, and character-based learning strategies, is essential to strengthen the internalization of ethical values and ensure sustainable character development.

How Transformational Leadership and Organizational Climate Drive Employee Performance: Evidence from a Public Organization
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the influence of transformational leadership and organizational climate on employee performance within a public service institution. A quantitative approach with a survey method was employed, involving 85 employees selected using a saturated sampling technique. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to determine the partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on employee performance. The findings indicate that transformational leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee performance with a moderate level of influence, while organizational climate shows a positive and significant effect with a stronger level of influence. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence employee performance, with organizational climate having a more dominant contribution than transformational leadership. These results imply that strengthening a supportive and conducive organizational climate should be prioritized to improve employee performance. In addition, leaders need to enhance individualized consideration to ensure fair, inclusive, and sustainable engagement across all employees.

Development of UNO Card Learning Media Economic Growth and Development Material
type: item
description: This study aims to develop UNO card-based learning media and analyze its validity and practicality in teaching economic growth and development. In the context of rapid digitalization, learning environments face challenges such as decreased student concentration and over-reliance on technology, which often reduce engagement and learning effectiveness. Therefore, innovative, non-digital, and interactive learning media are needed to support meaningful learning experiences. This research employed a Research and Development (R&D) design using the 4D model, consisting of define, design, develop, and disseminate stages. Data were collected through expert validation sheets, student questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, and analyzed using descriptive quantitative techniques. The findings indicate that the developed media achieved a very high level of validity (96.75%) and practicality (94.4%). The media aligns well with curriculum standards and student characteristics, enhancing its instructional relevance. The interactive game structure increases student motivation, participation, and engagement. The visual and structural design supports readability and usability. The media is flexible and does not require internet access, making it suitable for diverse contexts. It also promotes collaborative and active learning. This study contributes to the development of game-based learning in economics education and recommends further research to examine its effectiveness on learning outcomes.

Internalization of Religious Character Values through Reading and Writing Literacy of the Qur'an in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah Students
type: item
description: The goal of strengthening religious character in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah education is often overshadowed by a focus on cognitive and technical skills. Qur'anic literacy, encompassing reading and writing, holds significant potential for internalizing religious values, but studies on this process are limited. This qualitative case study analyzes how Qur'anic literacy helps internalize religious character values in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah students, focusing on grades IV, V, and VI. Data was collected from teachers, students, and madrasah heads through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings show that Qur'anic literacy goes beyond technical skills and serves as a medium for instilling values like discipline, responsibility, dedication to learning, and respect for the Qur'an. The internalization process is facilitated through teacher role models, habit formation, and value reinforcement integrated into literacy activities. This research suggests practical ways to enhance religious character education in Madrasah Ibtidaiyah by optimizing Qur'anic literacy.

Brand Equity as a Moderator in the Relationship between Social Media Marketing, e-WOM, and Purchase Intention: Implications for Educational Marketing Management
type: item
description: This study aims to examine the influence of social media marketing and electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) on purchase intention, with brand equity as a moderating variable, from an educational marketing management perspective. A quantitative approach was employed using purposive sampling. The sample consisted of 150 respondents who are users of digital commerce platforms and are familiar with the studied brand. Data were collected through online questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results indicate that social media marketing and e-WOM have positive and significant effects on purchase intention. Furthermore, brand equity significantly moderates the relationship between both independent variables and purchase intention, strengthening their effects. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of digital marketing strategies is enhanced when supported by strong brand equity and positive consumer perceptions. From an educational marketing management perspective, this study highlights the importance of integrating digital literacy and strategic marketing education in building sustainable brand value. Organizations should develop structured learning strategies to enhance consumer engagement and brand perception in digital environments.

Improved: The Impact of Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) on Data Management Efficiency in Islamic Senior High Schools
type: item
description: This study aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of the Education Management Information System (EMIS) on the efficiency of educational data management. Using a quantitative approach with an associative design, the research involved 66 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through two questionnaires: one for assessing EMIS implementation (21 items) and one for evaluating educational data management efficiency (20 items). Both instruments were validated and tested for reliability using SPSS version 27. Data analysis included normality testing (Kolmogorov– Smirnov test), homogeneity testing (Levene’s test), and hypothesis testing (simple linear regression analysis). The results showed a significant effect of EMIS implementation on data management efficiency, with a significance value of <0.000 and an R Square value of 0.437. This indicates that EMIS contributes 43.7% to improving educational data management efficiency. The findings suggest that the adoption of EMIS can enhance administrative efficiency and facilitate more effective management of educational data.
