Indonesia's role in the internationalization of halal tourism through national policy and multilateral diplomacy

2026-01-02T18:24:20+07:00

This study is motivated by the growing global acknowledgment of halal tourism as a pivotal sector within the halal industry and a significant engine for the Islamic economy. This study seeks to analyze Indonesia's role in internationalizing halal tourism by examining the synergy between its national policy development and its active participation in diplomatic forums, both of which serve as instruments for expanding its global influence. Methodologically, this qualitative study employs a systematic literature review, supplemented by content analysis of government regulations, policy documents, reports from international organizations, and relevant scientific articles on global halal tourism governance. The findings indicate that Indonesia strategically positions halal tourism as a domestic economic priority and a form of soft power. This can be achieved by strengthening halal certification, providing institutional support, engaging in nation branding, and promoting the harmonization of standards through multilateral cooperation. By leveraging multilateral diplomacy, Indonesia actively participates in shaping international norms, standardization, and networks to advance a more inclusive and globally recognized Halal tourism ecosystem. This strategy is not solely economically driven but also serves to enhance Indonesia's epistemic authority and diplomatic stature internationally. In conclusion, this study enriches the discourse on halal governance, international political economy, and tourism diplomacy, while also offering practical insights into Indonesia's potential to develop a competitive, sustainable, and influential halal tourism model through the effective synergy of national policies and multilateral engagement.

Toward a Qur’anic philosophy of multicultural education: A hermeneutical and ethical approach

2026-01-02T18:24:17+07:00

Multicultural education is increasingly important in the context of globalization that affects cultural and religious diversity in society. This research aims to explore the philosophical basis of multicultural education through the interpretation of the Qur'an and the role of hermeneutic approaches in Islamic religious education. The research method uses a Systematic Literature Review based on the Scopus database from 2022 to 2025 by analyzing Scopus-indexed scientific articles related to multiculturalism, Islamic education, and hermeneutics. From the search results, it was found that 229 articles were filtered into 37 relevant articles, and finally 20 articles that met the inclusion criteria were selected for further analysis. The results of the study show that the interpretation of the Qur'an with a contextual hermeneutic approach provides a strong philosophical basis for multicultural education with the values of inclusivity, justice, and respect for diversity. This research also identifies the important contribution of hermeneutics in enriching the interpretation of Qur'anic values that support a more inclusive and tolerant education. The conclusion in this study is that Islamic religious education based on Qur'anic values can create a harmonious and pluralistic society if applied with a more critical and contextual approach. The main contribution of this article is to fill the research gap on the application of Qur'an interpretation in multicultural education and to introduce a broader hermeneutic approach in the context of Islamic religious education in an increasingly diverse society.

Design of Supply Chain Management (SCM) performance measurement model using SCOR and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP): A case study at PT. Circle Pro Group (Central Java-Klaten)

2026-01-02T18:24:14+07:00

This study aims to design a performance measurement model for Supply Chain Management (SCM) at PT Circle Pro Group, Klaten, Central Java, using the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The PT Circle Pro Group has not implemented any SCM performance measurement system, resulting in unclear performance levels and difficulties in identifying improvement priorities. The SCOR model was used to structure SCM activities into Plan, Source, Make, Deliver, and Return, whereas AHP was applied to determine the weight and priority of performance indicators. A total of 17 validated indicators were developed based on the SCOR processes and company conditions. The measurement results indicated an SCM performance score of 91.47, which was categorized as above average. However, several indicators scored below 90, particularly forecast accuracy, raw material planning, and supplier delivery punctuality. Recommendations for improvement include strengthening forecasting processes, optimizing procurement planning, and enhancing supplier performance evaluation. This study produces a structured SCM performance measurement model tailored for PT Circle Pro Group, enabling continuous evaluation and improvement. The model can be adapted by other service-based companies with similar operational characteristics.

Revisiting determinants of financial performance: The roles of environmental performance, environmental costs, and environmental disclosure

2026-01-06T01:51:48+07:00

This study seeks to analyze the impact of environmental performance, environmental costs, and environmental disclosure on the financial performance of consumer cyclical companies. The sample companies selected are cyclical companies with public status (Tbk) between 2019 and 2023. Sample selection was performed using the purposive method, and the final sample comprised 16 companies with 67 observations after outlier removal. The PROPER rating is used as a proxy to assess environmental performance, environmental costs are assessed through CSR expenditure disclosures in annual reports, and environmental disclosure is evaluated using GRI-G4 indicators. The analytical techniques employed included descriptive statistics and classical assumption tests. In addition, multiple regression models were used, and SPSS was used for hypothesis testing. Testing revealed that environmental performance negatively affects financial performance. This indicates that efforts to improve environmental performance require substantial costs, potentially reducing profitability. Meanwhile, environmental costs have no significant effect on financial performance, suggesting that increased CSR spending does not directly enhance profitability. Conversely, environmental disclosure positively impacts financial performance, implying that transparent reporting of environmental activities enhances public trust and investor perception. Some limitations of this study were the small number of companies used as samples because only a few companies participated in the PROPER rating or disclosed sustainability reports, and the need to remove outliers. Further research is expected to increase the number of samples, include additional independent variables, and examine other industry sectors to obtain more comprehensive insights.

The relationship between work stress and quiet quitting among generation Z employees

2026-01-06T01:52:17+07:00

Quiet quitting represents a phase of disengagement in which employees continue to work but limit their efforts strictly to job descriptions. When this occurs on a massive scale, it hinders innovation, increases workload for engaged employees, and contributes to stagnant organizational growth. Previous studies have shown that quiet quitting is prevalent among Gen Z and is influenced by work stress. Work stress consists of challenge and hindrance stress, which affect individual performance differently. High levels of stress can also reduce productivity and lead to organizational losses. Therefore, further research is necessary to understand the relationship between these two types of work stress and quiet quitting. This study aims to examine the relationship between challenge stress, hindrance stress, and quiet quitting among Gen Z employees in Indonesia. A quantitative correlational design was used. The sample consisted of 212 Gen Z employees in Indonesia, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected through an online survey using the Challenge and Hindrance-related Self-Reported Stress Scale by Cavanaugh et al. (1998) and the Quiet Quitting Scale by Galanis et al. (2023). The C-HSS contained 11 items, while the QQS comprised eight items, showing acceptable internal consistency (α>0.600). The results indicate that challenge stress is negatively correlated with quiet quitting, whereas hindrance stress is positively correlated. Challenge stress tends to enhance motivation and reduce quiet quitting tendencies, whereas hindrance stress increases withdrawal behaviors. These findings provide insights for organizations to develop strategies for managing Gen Z employees’ work-related stress and maintaining their engagement levels.

The impact evaluation of income redistribution on social inequality in Indonesia: Propensity score matching approach

2026-01-06T01:52:48+07:00

While Indonesia has implemented a wide array of social assistance and subsidy programs to counteract poverty and inequality, the redistributive impact of these policies remains questionable. This study presents a rigorous and critical examination of the causal effect of income redistribution through cash transfers and subsidies on social inequality, employing Propensity Score Matching (PSM) to control for selection bias. Utilizing data from the nationally representative SUSENAS (2019-2022) across the pre-, during, and post-pandemic periods, this analysis compared beneficiary and non-beneficiary households across various socioeconomic dimensions. In contrast to previous descriptive work, our findings provide strong evidence of the short-term redistribution effects on per-capita consumption and the household Gini index. The results indicate that consumption increased on average by 8.3 percent, and inequality fell significantly, with some degree of spatial heterogeneity. The most significant effects on inequality were observed in Western Indonesia, whereas the Eastern areas experienced minor effects. The analysis reveals policy-relevant heterogeneity, with larger benefits for female-headed households and those receiving multiple programs than for male-headed households. This study contributes to the existing literature by (1) using PSM to assess the cross-program redistributive effect, (2) illustrating the spatial disparities of implementation, and (3) exploring complementarity among types of assistance. Policy implications call for integrated targeting systems, real-time microdata surveillance, and adaptive program design that is region-specific. Redistribution is not enough; substantive reforms must support fiscal efforts for long-term social justice.

Analysis of social behavior and communication strategies in Women’s Bathing, Washing, and Toileting (MCK) activities in the open Aek Pohon River, Pidoli Dolok Subdistrict

2025-12-28T07:19:53+07:00

This study analyzed the behavior of women who perform bathing, washing, and toileting (MCK) activities in the open Aek Pohon River in the Pidoli Dolok Subdistrict. The aim is to identify the causes, impacts, and appropriate environmental communication strategies. This study employed a qualitative method with a case study approach through observation and interviews. The results show that this behavior is influenced by limited facilities, long-standing traditions, and the perception of the river as the primary water source. Communication strategies are implemented through educational efforts, the involvement of religious leaders, and the provision of MCK facilities by the government. These findings are expected to contribute to studies on social behavior and environmental communication.

Legal certainty of land certificate letter (Surat Keterangan Tanah or SKT) in land sale and purchase transactions as proof of ownership

2025-11-13T21:34:18+07:00

This study examines the legal certainty of the Land Certificate Letter (Surat Keterangan Tanah/SKT) in land sale and purchase transactions as proof of ownership. This study aims to analyze the legal status, evidentiary value, and level of legal certainty of SKT use in land transactions. A normative juridical approach was used, employing statutory, conceptual, and case-based analyses of the relevant literature. The results reveal that the SKT serves only as administrative proof of physical land possession and not as legal proof of ownership. The SKT provides prima facie evidence that can be used to register land ownership but does not ensure full legal protection. To guarantee legal certainty, SKT-based transactions must be followed by an official deed of sale before a Land Deed Official (PPAT) and land registration at the National Land Agency (BPN). This aligns with the legal principles of certainty (rechtszekerheid) and legal protection (rechtsbescherming) under the Indonesian Agrarian Law (UUPA) and Government Regulation No. 24 of 1997.

Visual element analysis in the packaging design of the Ataraksia Horror Series perfume using Gillian Rose's visual approach

2025-12-12T10:57:40+07:00

This study analyzes the visual elements of the Ataraksia Series Horor perfume packaging design, specifically the Peri Gandhamayit and Sanggar Hantu Laut variants, using Gillian Rose's framework of visual analysis (composition, modality, codes, and regime of truth). This qualitative approach aims to understand how elements such as dark colors, sharp serif typography, surreal illustrations, and symmetrical layouts interact to form a horror aesthetic, influence consumer perception, and build a strong brand identity. Primary data were collected through photographic documentation of the packaging and were analyzed descriptively and interpretively. The findings reveal that composition and modality create distorted visual horror narratives. Code analysis uncovers inspirations from local mythology (site of production) and the emotional responses of a gothic niche audience (site of audiencing). The regime of truth reinforces the brand's claim as a mystical cultural artifact that transcends mere fragrance. These findings offer theoretical implications for visual semiotics and practical implications for perfume design strategies.

The effect of stress and organizational culture on job satisfaction

2025-10-05T17:12:46+07:00

Workplace stress has become an inevitable phenomenon in modern organizations. As task complexity, competition, and performance expectations increase, many workers experience prolonged stress. This phenomenon significantly impacts employees' mental and physical health, reduces their concentration, and increases the risk of burnout. Organizational culture can be likened to the philosophy, ideology, values, beliefs, and norms that bind an organization. An organizational culture that has been internalized and accepted by each member can impact employee job satisfaction in the company. This systematic literature review is compiled based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta Analysis (PRISMA) from research related to the influence of stress and organizational culture on job satisfaction. Job stress significantly and negatively affects job satisfaction and organizational commitment. The higher the level of stress, the lower the individual's positive evaluation of the work environment, relationships between colleagues, and the rewards they receive. A positive organizational culture increases job satisfaction, strengthens relationships between employees, and encourages the creation of a harmonious work atmosphere. Conversely, a weak or poor organizational culture can decrease employees’ job satisfaction.
