Abstract:This in-depth research on "The Influence of Transformational Leadership in Improving the Performance of Educational Organizations" uses a qualitative library research method. The main focus of this research is to understand…
and how transformational leadership affects organizational culture, employee motivation, and academic performance in educational settings. The results showed that transformational leadership plays a central role in shaping a positive and inclusive organizational culture, focusing on empowerment, shared vision, and open communication. The dimension of individual empowerment through responsibility and autonomy creates a work climate that supports creativity and growth. A shared vision clearly articulated by the transformational leader provides strong direction for team members, creates meaning in every action, and increases employee engagement. Open communication maintained by transformational leaders provides space for ideas and opinions to flourish, creating a collaborative work environment. The importance of applying transformational leadership in the context of educational organizations is also recognized in the implications of this research. Contributions to the understanding of transformational leadership can help educational leaders develop more contextualized and relevant leadership strategies. The practical implications of this research include the development of leadership training and development programs as well as the formulation of educational policies that support organizational growth and educational quality improvement. Although this study provides a deeper understanding, recognition of the critiques and limitations of previous studies provides a foothold for further research in exploring the complexities of transformational leadership in educational organizations.
Abstract:The Family Hope Program (PKH) is a government initiative aimed at alleviating poverty through empowering poor communities in various regions. This study aims to analyze the implementation of PKH in Teluk Ambon District,…
focusing on program effectiveness, challenges faced, and the impact on beneficiaries. The research uses a qualitative case study approach, collecting data through interviews, observations, and documentation. The findings reveal that PKH implementation generally runs according to schedule and targets the right beneficiaries, despite some technical difficulties and challenges in data updating and public understanding. Coordination among stakeholders, continuous socialization, and optimal assistance are key factors for the program’s success. Moreover, PKH has significantly improved the welfare of poor families, especially in education and health sectors. However, improvements in monitoring and evaluation mechanisms and program flexibility are needed to better respond to social changes. This study recommends enhancing administrative systems and increasing the capacity of facilitators to ensure that PKH can be more effective and sustainable.

enditure Budget (APBD) and achieve good governance. E-government as a digital transformation in the government sector aims to improve efficiency, transparency, and accountability in the management of public administration. However, its success is highly dependent on individual behavior, including acceptance and adaptation to technology. E-budgeting, as one form of e-government implementation, is designed to increase transparency by providing easy and real-time access to the public regarding information on the use of the APBD. This study uses a literature study approach by reviewing various scientific articles and related documents from 2020 to 2024. The results of the study show that individual behavior, such as digital literacy and attitudes towards technology, play an important role in determining the success of e-government and e-budgeting. Although e-budgeting is able to increase transparency, challenges such as resistance to change, limited infrastructure, and low public trust in the government remain significant obstacles. Therefore, strategic steps such as community empowerment through digital literacy, increasing human resource capacity, and more effective communication between the government and the community are needed to ensure the success of this system. This research is expected to be a theoretical basis in developing a more effective e-government and e-budgeting implementation strategy in the future.

Abstract:Lingga Village in Karo Regency, North Sumatra, is a cultural village that preserves the traditional architecture of the Karo people, particularly the Siwaluh Jabu traditional house, which reflects the community’s life philosophy,…
philosophy, social order, and spirituality. The surrounding environment of these traditional houses remains poorly organized, with vacant land left unmanaged and declining awareness of cultural preservation, resulting in suboptimal utilization of the area’s aesthetic value, cultural function, and tourism potential. This community service program aims to arrange a cultural garden around the traditional houses while empowering the local community to manage the cultural landscape in a sustainable manner, with a focus on preserving cultural identity, improving environmental quality, and strengthening the local economy through the development of cultural tourism and agrotourism. The implementation method adopts a community-based participatory approach, carried out through several stages: site observation and mapping, focus group discussions, planning and designing the cultural garden, training and knowledge transfer, collective implementation of garden arrangement, as well as evaluation and documentation. The garden design integrates the orientation of the Siwaluh Jabu house, the cosmological meaning of space, ecological landscape principles, and the selection of local vegetation with symbolic, aesthetic, and economic value, organized into aesthetic, educational, and productive zones. The results of the program indicate the establishment of a well-arranged cultural garden rich in Karo cultural symbols, increased community capacity and participation, and the creation of a sustainable cultural landscape management model that functions as a “living laboratory” combining aesthetic, educational, economic, and spiritual roles. This model positions the community as the main actor and holds potential to be replicated in other cultural villages with similar characteristics.

bagai pengelola pangan rumah tangga, pelaku usaha pertanian, serta agen perubahan dalam menjaga keberlanjutan lingkungan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis optimalisasi peran perempuan dalam mewujudkan ketahanan pangan berbasis lingkungan melalui berbagai praktik pengelolaan sumber daya yang berkelanjutan. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi literatur (literature review) dengan mengkaji berbagai artikel ilmiah, buku, laporan penelitian, dan dokumen kebijakan yang relevan mengenai perempuan, ketahanan pangan, dan lingkungan. Analisis penelitian menggunakan Teori Optimalisasi (Siagian, 2014; Heizer et al., 2020) sebagai kerangka utama, dengan lima indikator yaitu efektivitas, efisiensi, produktivitas, kualitas, dan keberlanjutan, yang dilengkapi oleh Teori Pemberdayaan Perempuan (Women Empowerment Theory) yang dikembangkan oleh Naila Kabeer (1999) sebagai teori pendukung. Teori pemberdayaan ini menekankan bahwa akses terhadap sumber daya, kemampuan mengambil keputusan, dan pencapaian kesejahteraan menjadi faktor pelengkap dalam meningkatkan kapasitas perempuan dalam berbagai sektor pembangunan. Hasil kajian menunjukkan bahwa perempuan berkontribusi signifikan dalam menjaga ketahanan pangan melalui pengelolaan pekarangan pangan, diversifikasi konsumsi pangan keluarga, pengembangan pertanian ramah lingkungan, serta pemanfaatan teknologi sederhana berbasis sumber daya lokal, sebagaimana tercermin dari pencapaian indikator efektivitas, efisiensi, produktivitas, kualitas, dan keberlanjutan dalam Teori Optimalisasi. Namun demikian, optimalisasi peran perempuan masih menghadapi berbagai kendala, seperti keterbatasan akses terhadap lahan, modal, teknologi, dan pendidikan. Oleh karena itu, diperlukan kebijakan yang mendukung peningkatan kapasitas perempuan melalui pelatihan, akses pembiayaan, pendampingan usaha, serta penguatan kelembagaan masyarakat. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa optimalisasi peran perempuan yang didukung oleh pemberdayaan berbasis lingkungan merupakan strategi penting dalam memperkuat ketahanan pangan yang berkelanjutan serta mendukung pencapaian tujuan pembangunan berkelanjutan di tingkat lokal maupun nasional.

arangan rumah yang selama ini belum dimanfaatkan secara optimal memiliki potensi besar untuk dikembangkan menjadi lahan produktif melalui budidaya tanaman hortikultura, tanaman obat keluarga, maupun kegiatan pertanian rumah tangga lainnya. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis optimalisasi pemanfaatan lahan kosong (pekarangan rumah) menjadi lahan produktif di Kelurahan Umban Sari, Kecamatan Rumbai, Kota Pekanbaru berdasarkan perspektif Community Empowerment. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif deskriptif dengan teknik pengumpulan data berupa observasi, wawancara mendalam, dan dokumentasi. Informan utama dalam penelitian ini adalah Informan A(54 tahun), warga yang aktif memanfaatkan lahan pekarangan rumah menjadi lahan produktif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemanfaatan lahan pekarangan telah memberikan manfaat berupa peningkatan ketahanan pangan keluarga, pengurangan pengeluaran rumah tangga, peningkatan kualitas lingkungan, dan penguatan hubungan sosial masyarakat. Namun demikian, masih terdapat berbagai kendala seperti keterbatasan pengetahuan budidaya, minimnya akses terhadap sarana produksi, serta kurangnya pendampingan yang berkelanjutan. Berdasarkan analisis lima dimensi Community Empowerment yang meliputi enabling, empowering, protecting, supporting, dan maintaining, optimalisasi pemanfaatan lahan kosong telah berjalan cukup baik meskipun masih memerlukan dukungan dari pemerintah dan masyarakat agar dapat berkembang secara berkelanjutan.
Abstract:Employment is an activity undertaken by individuals to earn income in order to sustain a decent standard of living. Employment relationships are established through agreements between employers and workers, and such agreements…
ements should ensure decent work conditions. However, in reality, there is insufficient government supervision in ensuring the fulfillment of workers’ rights in accordance with Law No. 13 of 2003. The distribution of rights for female workers is also not optimally implemented. In addition, workforce skills remain a concern, as many workers only possess primary to junior secondary education. Furthermore, freelance work has become increasingly popular due to its flexibility in time and location.
Therefore, solutions are needed to address employment issues in Bengkulu Province. Data collection in this study was conducted through interviews with the Bengkulu Provincial Manpower Office. Data analysis employed a qualitative approach. The findings indicate that many workers are engaged in seasonal sectors with unstable income. The Bengkulu Provincial Manpower Office has implemented programs such as job fairs, vocational training and education, and occupational health and safety socialization. Generation Z is perceived as less loyal and tends to frequently change jobs, showing a strong preference for freelance work due to its flexibility. Policy development is needed to provide legal protection for workers. Recommended actions include stricter enforcement against companies violating labor rights, particularly those committing violence against female workers, conducting awareness programs in collaboration with the Ministry of Women’s Empowerment and Child Protection and labor protection institutions, and optimizing integrated reporting systems to accelerate the resolution of such cases.
