IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICY ON HANDLING VAGRANTS AND BEGGARS AT THE SOCIAL AFFAIRS OFFICE OF GORONTALO CITY

Madina, Fikram, Dance, Fenti Prihatini, Solihin, Dwi Indah Yuliani
Abstract: This descriptive qualitative research analyzes the effectiveness of policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars at the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City. Four indicators from George… orge C. Edward III's policy implementation theory—communication, resources, disposition, and bureaucratic structure—are employed as the analytical framework. Field data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation were systematically analyzed using the data condensation, display, and conclusion drawing model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldana. The findings indicate that the policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars at the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City has been running fairly well but has not yet been optimal. In the communication aspect, coordination among implementers has been functioning well; however, information dissemination to target groups and the general public remains suboptimal. In the resources aspect, policy implementation has been supported by human resources, authority, and facilities, yet is still constrained by limited personnel and underutilized facilities and databases. In the disposition aspect, officials demonstrate commitment, responsibility, and a professional attitude in implementing the policy; however, guidance programs have not been able to reach all vagrants and beggars on a sustainable basis. In the bureaucratic structure aspect, policy implementation has been supported by Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), clear task distribution, and inter-division coordination; nevertheless, SOP implementation in the field still needs optimization to ensure services reach all target groups. Based on these findings, the Social Affairs and Community Empowerment Office of Gorontalo City needs to enhance communication and socialization to target groups, strengthen human resources and supporting facilities, optimize guidance and empowerment programs, and improve inter-agency coordination so that the policy implementation on handling vagrants and beggars can be more effective in improving social welfare.

IJTIHAD AHMAD MUSTHAFA AL-MARAGHI IN INTERPRETING LEGAL VERSES IN AL-MARAGHI'S TAFFSIR

Ansori, Zakaria, Saleh, Ahmad Syukri, Harun, Hermanto
Abstract: The Qur'an, as the primary source of Islamic teachings, contains legal verses that require in-depth interpretation for proper application, one notable example being Tafsir al-Maraghi by Ahmad Musthafa al-Maraghi, a contemporary&#8230; mporary Egyptian scholar known for his moderate stance and independence from madhhab fanaticism. This study aims to reveal al-Maraghi's typology of ijtihad in interpreting legal verses, identify the legal products he produced, and examine his responses to contemporary legal issues. The research employs a library research method with a descriptive-analytical approach and fiqhi tafsir framework, using Tafsir al-Maraghi as the primary source alongside various ahkam tafsir and fiqh works as secondary sources, analyzed through content analysis and comparative reasoning. The findings show that al-Maraghi developed an integrative ijtihad model combining five typologies, namely bayani, tarjihi, maqashidi, istislahi, and tajdidi, with maqashid al-shari'ah orientation as the most dominant character, spanning worship, marriage, inheritance-testament, transactions, politics, and criminal law. The study concludes that this ijtihad pattern produces moderate, contextual legal interpretations relevant to the development of contemporary Islamic law in Indonesia. Further research is recommended to apply a systematic contemporary maqashid approach.

Green Accounting Practices and Environmental Awareness in Supporting Hospital Sustainability: A Qualitative Study at RSK X in East Java

Enggaryanti, Heny, Riharjo, Ikhsan Budi
Abstract: Hospital operations provide healthcare services while generating environmental impacts through medical waste, hazardous and toxic waste, wastewater, and the consumption of energy, water, and other resources. These impacts&#8230; s require hospitals to adopt environmental management practices that extend beyond regulatory compliance and strengthen environmental awareness. This study aims to analyze the role of green accounting in fostering environmental awareness and supporting organizational sustainability at a specialized hospital (RSK X) in East Java, Indonesia. The study employed a qualitative approach within an interpretive paradigm using a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation involving informants engaged in environmental management and hospital operations. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data display, conclusion drawing, and thematic analysis using NVivo 14 Pro. The findings indicate that green accounting practices at RSK X are reflected in medical and hazardous waste management, wastewater treatment plant operations, environmental monitoring, resource efficiency, environmental reporting, and environmental cost recording. These practices function not only as mechanisms for administrative compliance and cost control but also as instruments for fostering employees' environmental awareness through socialization, monitoring, habituation, and behavioral change. Green accounting implementation is supported by management commitment, government regulations, accreditation requirements, and organizational culture. However, constraints remain, particularly the absence of a dedicated green accounting report, limited integration of environmental information into the hospital information system, and varying employee understanding of green accounting. The study concludes that green accounting serves managerial and behavioral functions by improving environmental accountability, strengthening environmental awareness, and contributing to hospital sustainability.

Auditors’ Experiences in Transaction Practices at the Warung Kejujuran (Honesty Kiosk): A Transcendental Phenomenological Study

Hariyanto, Sugeng, Fidiana, Fidiana
Abstract: Various phenomena related to the implementation of integrity in the public sector demonstrate the importance of strengthening integrity values within organizations. One approach is through organizational culture, including&#8230; ng the implementation of transaction practices through an Warung Kejujuran. This study aimed to explore auditors’ experiences in conducting transactions at an Warung Kejujuran. The study employed a qualitative approach using Moustakas’ transcendental phenomenology. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews and documentation involving auditors at the Jombang Regency Inspectorate who had experience interacting with the Warung Kejujuran. Data were analyzed through epoche, phenomenological reduction, imaginative variation, and the synthesis of meaning and essence, supported by NVivo for data organization, coding, and identification of thematic patterns. The findings indicate that transaction practices at the Warung Kejujuran provide auditors with experiences of applying integrity values through independent decision-making in the absence of direct supervision. These experiences are reflected in self-control as a basis for honest action and in the fulfillment of obligations as an element of an auditor’s moral responsibility. Thus, the essence of auditors’ experiences in transaction practices at the Warung Kejujuran lies in their ability to conduct transactions independently through self-control and fulfillment of moral obligations in situations with limited external supervision.

TikTok Shop Live Streaming and Gen Z’s Repurchase Intention in Fashion Retail: The Mediating Role of Customer Experience

Sandira, Nur Fadilah Ayu, Sarah, Nulthazam, Ridha, Achmad, Rostina, Sachrir, Muh. Irshan
Abstract: Fashion sellers on TikTok Shop increasingly rely on live streaming marketing to engage Generation Z consumers, although how well this approach translates into repeat purchases remains underexplored, particularly the extent&#8230; nt to which customer experience functions as a psychological link between the two. This study examines how live streaming marketing influences repurchase intention through customer experience as a mediating variable, focusing on Generation Z fashion consumers who use TikTok Shop in Makassar City. A quantitative design was applied, drawing on a purposive sample of 280 respondents, with data analyzed through SEM-PLS using SmartPLS 4. Findings reveal that live streaming marketing has a positive and significant influence on customer experience, whereas its direct effect on repurchase intention is not significant. Customer experience, in turn, positively and significantly affects repurchase intention and fully mediates the link between live streaming marketing and repurchase intention. These patterns suggest that Generation Z consumers remain skeptical of direct marketing cues and instead give greater weight to personal experience quality when deciding to repurchase. The study extends the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework to the live commerce setting and offers practical guidance for sellers to redirect marketing efforts from promotional intensity toward building immersive, personalized shopping experiences.

Puspitosari, Arien Anjar, Graha, Andi Nu
Abstract: The rapid development of digital technologies has transformed organizational work environments and created new demands for leadership, employee adaptability, and engagement. This study aims to examine the effect of digital&#8230; al leadership, learning agility, and employee engagement on employee performance. A quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design was employed. Data were collected from 250 employees using a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the measurement and structural models. The results demonstrate that digital leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (β = 0.247; t = 4.218; p < 0.001). Learning agility also has a positive and significant effect on employee performance (β = 0.286; t = 5.037; p < 0.001). Furthermore, employee engagement has the strongest positive and significant effect on employee performance (β = 0.411; t = 7.126; p < 0.001). The model explains 68.4% of the variance in employee performance, indicating substantial explanatory power. These findings highlight the importance of integrating digitally capable leadership, continuous employee learning, and strong employee engagement to improve performance in an increasingly dynamic and technology-driven work environment. The study contributes to the understanding of how organizational and individual factors jointly support employee performance in the digital era
