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.

2026-01-06T01:51:20+07:00

This study aimed to analyze the effect of service quality on consumer satisfaction and loyalty at CV Farras Mobil in Demak Regency. Service quality in this study was measured using five dimensions: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. This study also examines the role of consumer satisfaction as an intervening variable between service quality and consumer loyalty. This explanatory study employed a quantitative approach. The population consists of all consumers of CV Farras Mobil in Demak Regency, the exact number of which is unknown. Purposive sampling was used, with a total sample of 96 respondents included. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of the SPSS version 29. The results show that the tangible variable has no effect on consumer satisfaction, whereas reliability has a positive and significant effect on consumer satisfaction. Responsiveness had no effect on consumer satisfaction, whereas assurance had a positive and significant effect on consumer satisfaction. Empathy also has no effect on consumer satisfaction. Furthermore, tangibles have no effect on consumer loyalty, and reliability also has no significant effect on consumer loyalty. However, responsiveness and assurance had positive and significant effects on consumer loyalty. Empathy had no effect on consumer loyalty, whereas consumer satisfaction had a positive and significant effect on consumer loyalty.

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.

Analysis of the influence of tax knowledge and tax compliance on the perception of tax revenue among MSME actors in Cibungbulang District at KPP Pratama Ciawi

2025-11-24T08:19:52+07:00

This study examines how tax understanding and taxpayer compliance contribute to improving regional tax revenue among micro, small, and medium enterprises registered at a local tax office. This study adopts a quantitative approach supported by survey responses from business actors actively engaged in fulfilling their tax obligations. The analysis highlights that a higher level of tax understanding encourages taxpayers to perform their administrative duties more accurately, creating a stronger awareness of legal responsibilities and the role of taxation in regional development. Although taxpayer compliance varies across respondents, the combined influence of both variables has meaningful implications for strengthening the effectiveness of local tax collection. The findings emphasize the importance of continuous socialization, targeted guidance programs, and enhanced tax literacy to ensure that business actors are better equipped to meet regulatory requirements. This study contributes to the growing discourse on taxpayer behavior and regional fiscal capacity.

The relationship between work-related social media use and work-life integration among generation Z employees in Indonesia

2025-11-22T22:27:49+07:00

The use of work-related social media by Generation Z has become a widespread phenomenon, creating a dilemma between flexibility and the blurring of boundaries between professional and personal lives. As digital natives, they are expected to seamlessly integrate work and personal life; however, they are also vulnerable to technostress. This study examines the relationship between Work-Related Social Media Use (WSMU) and Work-Life Integration (WLI) among Generation Z employees. This study adopts Boundary Theory and the Job Demands-Resources model as its theoretical framework. A correlational quantitative approach was employed, involving 203 Generation Z employees selected through convenience sampling method. Data were collected using the Work-Life Boundary Enactment Scale and Work-Related Social Media Questionnaire. The results of the correlation analysis rejected the initial hypothesis. A highly significant negative relationship was found between WSMU and WLI (r = -0.206, P = 0.003). This suggests that employees who effectively utilize social media for work tend to enact stronger segmentation strategies rather than integration. Further analysis revealed that hybrid workers reported significantly higher integration levels than office-based workers, and female employees engaged in more productive WSMU behaviors.

Legal review of dumping practices in Indonesia: A comparative study of international economic law and Sharia economic law

2026-01-06T09:30:19+07:00

Dumping is an international trade practice that can distort markets and harm domestic industries in importing countries, prompting the development of anti-dumping policies as trade protection instruments. This study aims to analyze the regulation and implementation of anti-dumping policy in Indonesia, examine its conformity with international trade law principles under the World Trade Organization (WTO) framework, and assess dumping and anti-dumping practices from the perspective of Sharia economic law. This study employs a normative juridical method using statutory, conceptual, and comparative law approaches, drawing on secondary data such as international agreements (GATT 1994 and the WTO Anti-Dumping Agreement), national legislation (Law No. 7 of 2014 and Government Regulation No. 34 of 2011), and scholarly literature on international and Islamic economic laws. The findings indicate that, normatively, Indonesia’s anti-dumping regulations have adopted WTO principles, particularly regarding the determination of dumping margins, material injury, and causation. However, in practice, the implementation of anti-dumping measures through the Indonesian Anti-Dumping Committee (KADI) continues to face procedural constraints and challenges in effectively protecting domestic industries. From the perspective of Sharia economic law, dumping is viewed as being inconsistent with the principles of justice, the prohibition of harm, and the ethical norms of fair competition. Therefore, Indonesia’s anti-dumping policy should be strengthened not only to ensure compliance with WTO law but also through the internalization of substantive justice values, as emphasized in Sharia economic law.

Exploring production management and social media strategy mapping in educational institutions

2025-12-28T17:02:02+07:00

Information technology continues to evolve, requiring society to adapt quickly. This acceleration has led to digital technology disruption, resulting in massive changes to human life, such as in production, distribution, and advertising in the media. Several educational institutions have used Instagram to connect various elements both inside and outside the campus, one of which is the UI Vocational Education Program on Instagram @vokasi_ui. UI Vocational continues to creatively produce content related to education and entertainment. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with field research methods, using observation and document study as data collection methods. Production management and content mapping on the @vokasi_ui Instagram account are carried out through content diversity, consistency of uploads, utilization of Instagram features, and interaction with followers through the stages of planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling.

The social construction of disappointment in the monodrama Fi Intizār Rādī: Analysis of the phenomenon of the defeated generation through the perspective of Peter L. Berger

2025-12-08T10:10:03+07:00

This article aims to analyze the monodrama Fi Intizār Rādī by Bassam Hassan using the framework of the Social Construction of Reality Theory by Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann. This research dissects how the social, political, and economic crises in post-Arab Spring Egypt have gone through three dialectical moments of social construction–Externalization, Objectivation, and Internalization–which ultimately shape Saber's identity as a member of the defeated generation. The results of the analysis indicate that Saber's narrative concerning bureaucratic corruption and the betrayal of the revolution is a reality that has been objectivized, mentally and physically imprisoning the individual. Saber internalizes this reality, which manifests as existential stasis, illness, and ultimately, death. Thus, Fi Intizār Rādī dramatically represents society’s failure to legitimate a just universe of meaning, compelling Saber to search for meaning in nothingness.

Cross-generational comparative analysis of educators communication patterns: A case study at SMPN 2 Selat, Karangasem, Bali

2025-12-02T21:53:23+07:00

This study examines the comparative communication patterns of Generation X, Generation Y (Millennials), and Generation Z teachers in the context of Natural Science (IPA) instruction at SMPN 2 Selat, Karangasem, Bali. The presence of multiple generations in school environments creates distinct communication dynamics that influence the effectiveness of classroom interactions and students’ learning experiences. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through classroom observations, semi-structured interviews, and documents. The analysis was conducted using Miles and Huberman’s interactive model, which involves data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal significant generational differences in verbal and nonverbal communication, technology use, and teacher–student interaction styles. Generation X teachers exhibit formal, structured, and authoritative communication with a limited integration of digital media. Generation Y teachers employ a more balanced, interactive, and expressive communication approach, supported by the moderate use of technology. Meanwhile, Generation Z teachers demonstrate highly dynamic, informal, and technology-intensive communication styles that foster horizontal and student-centered interaction. These differences reflect the influence of generational characteristics on instructional communication and indicate that cross-generational diversity enriches pedagogical practices rather than hindering them. This study contributes to educational communication research by offering empirical insights into how generational identity shapes communication behavior in classroom settings, particularly in nonurban schools. The findings also have practical implications for designing teacher professional development programs that accommodate generational differences in communicative competencies.

Patient satisfaction as a pathway between service quality and loyalty: Insights from dental care services

2025-11-27T13:47:29+07:00

This study examines the effect of service quality on patient satisfaction and its implications for loyalty at Lapan Dental Care Clinic in Bandung Regency. A cross-sectional design with consecutive sampling was applied, involving 100 patients. Path analysis was employed to test the causal relationships among the variables. The findings reveal that service quality significantly influences patient satisfaction by 77.89%, with justice contributing the most (18.58%). Patient satisfaction significantly affects loyalty by 79.38% and mediates the relationship between service quality and loyalty, with a contribution of 87.88%. These results highlight the importance of improving service quality, particularly fairness and safety, to enhance patient satisfaction and foster loyalty. This study contributes empirical evidence to the literature on dental healthcare services in regions with limited facilities.
