Tourism as an Alternative Sector for Regional Economic Transformation in Kutai Kartanegara Regency: A Systematic Literature Review

Hayyun Hardika, Diana Lestari, Juliansyah Roy
Abstract: Kutai Kartanegara Regency, East Kalimantan Province, has long depended on coal mining and petroleum as its primary economic drivers. This dependence creates structural vulnerability to global commodity price fluctuations… and long-term sustainability challenges. This article presents a systematic literature review examining tourism as an alternative sector for regional economic transformation in Kutai Kartanegara. Drawing on 15 peer-reviewed studies from 2016–2024, the review synthesizes evidence on: (1) the role of tourism-led growth and its multiplier effects on local economies; (2) community-based tourism (CBT) as an inclusive development model; (3) structural transformation theory as a framework for economic diversification; and (4) the specific potentials and constraints facing tourism development in resource-dependent regions. The review finds that tourism exhibits significant forward and backward economic linkages, stimulates SME growth and creative economy, and can meaningfully reduce reliance on extractive industries. Key barriers include infrastructure gaps, limited human resource capacity, and suboptimal governance coordination. The findings provide a theoretical and empirical foundation for the ongoing field research into tourism's transformative role in Kutai Kartanegara's regional economy.

The Effect of Population and Investment on Gross Regional Domestic Product and Unemployment in East Kalimantan Province

Yuli Hardiyanti, Jiuhardi, Juliansyah Roy
Abstract: This study analyzes the effect of population and investment on the Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) and unemployment in East Kalimantan Province during the 2016–2025 period. The research employs a quantitative explanatory… planatory design using secondary time-series data obtained from Statistics Indonesia (BPS) of East Kalimantan. Path analysis was applied through two structural equations using SPSS 21, complemented by the Sobel test to examine the mediating role of GRDP. The results show that population and investment each have a positive and significant direct effect on GRDP, and jointly explain 97.4% of its variation. GRDP, in turn, has a negative and significant effect on unemployment, accounting for 76.3% of its variation. The Sobel test confirms that GRDP significantly mediates the indirect effects of both population (Z = 2.295) and investment (Z = 2.628) on unemployment. These findings indicate that economic growth, as reflected in GRDP, acts as a strategic transmission channel converting demographic potential and capital accumulation into employment opportunities, thereby reducing unemployment in the region.

The Effect of Algorithmic Performance Appraisal on Employee Trust in Digital and Technology-Based Companies

Rini Anisyahrini, Winne Wardiani, Azizun Kurnia Ilahi, Anita Asnawi, Mochammad Arfani
Abstract: This study examines how employees perceive and trust Algorithmic Performance Appraisal (APA) in digital-native and technology-driven companies. Adopting Organizational Justice Theory, the Trust in Technology Framework, and… nd Cognitive Appraisal Theory, the research explores both the direct and indirect effects of APA on employee trust, with Perceived Procedural Fairness (PPF) as a mediating variable. The study uses a quantitative, cross-sectional approach, collecting data from 200 employees in technology-based organizations and analyzing the data with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results show that APA significantly enhances both procedural fairness and employee trust, with PPF playing a partial mediating role in this relationship. These findings underscore the importance of transparency, procedural legitimacy, and avenues for employee voice in cultivating trust in algorithmic systems. The study’s theoretical contribution lies in its integration of multiple perspectives on trust and fairness within algorithmic HR management. The practical implication calls for the careful design and implementation of APA systems that employees perceive as fair and trustworthy. Future research should investigate these relationships in longitudinal and multi-contextual settings to deepen the understanding of trust dynamics in evolving AI-mediated work environments.

Optimizing The Strengthening Of Lecturer’s Professional Commitment Based On Local Wisdom And Organizational Support

Fitri Anjaswuri, Soewarto Hardhienata, Suhendra Suhendra
Abstract: This study aims to construct an integrated constellation model and determine optimal strategies for reinforcing lecturers’ professional commitment at leading private universities in Bogor. Utilizing the POP-SDM (Modeling… ng and Optimization of Management Resources) framework, the research integrates elements of local wisdom and organizational support within a systemic approach to human resource development. The exploratory qualitative phase involved in-depth interviews and focus group discussions to uncover major determinants influencing professional commitment. From the thematic analysis, four principal variables emerged—teamwork, organizational climate, religiosity, and work motivation—which were validated through expert judgment. Quantitative verification was subsequently performed using the Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) technique to examine both direct and indirect relationships among constructs. The analysis confirmed that all variables exert positive and significant effects on lecturers’ professional commitment, with work motivation being the most dominant factor. To refine improvement priorities, the SITOREM (Scientific Identification Theory for Conducting Operational Research in Educational Management) method was applied, identifying indicators that should be improved, maintained, or further developed. The findings offer empirical and practical insights, including: (1) a validated POP-SDM–based commitment model combining cultural and organizational dimensions; (2) evidence-based strategies to enhance lecturer professionalism; and (3) an optimization framework to guide sustainable lecturer development in higher education institutions.

Analisis Pengaruh Kualitas Proses Pembelajaran Online terhadap Loyalitas Mahasiswa melalui Kepuasan Mahasiswa pada Program MMPJJ Universitas Telkom

Wafi Azkia Zahidah, Khairani Ratnasari Siregar
Abstract: Penelitian ini mengkaji pengaruh Kualitas Layanan E-Learning (ELSQ) terhadap loyalitas mahasiswa, yang dimediasi oleh kepuasan mahasiswa dan dimoderasi oleh nilai yang dirasakan, dalam konteks Program Magister Manajemen&#8230; Pembelajaran Jarak Jauh (MMPJJ) di Universitas Telkom. Menggunakan desain kuantitatif kausal, data dikumpulkan dari 126 mahasiswa melalui kuesioner skala Likert online. Alat ukur menunjukkan validitas dan reliabilitas yang kuat (faktor beban > 0,70; Cronbach’s Alpha > 0.80). Analisis dilakukan dengan Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) menggunakan SmartPLS. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa ELSQ secara signifikan mempengaruhi kepuasan mahasiswa (β = 0.565, p < 0.001) dan loyalitas mahasiswa (β = 0.234, p = 0.025). Kepuasan mahasiswa secara kuat mempengaruhi loyalitas (β = 0.572, p < 0.001) dan bertindak sebagai mediator dalam hubungan antara ELSQ dan loyalitas (β = 0.329, p < 0.001). Nilai yang dirasakan memoderasi hubungan antara ELSQ dan kepuasan (β = 0.323, p < 0.001), menunjukkan bahwa nilai yang dirasakan yang lebih tinggi memperkuat kepuasan. Model ini mencapai daya penjelas moderat (R² = 0.580 untuk loyalitas; R² = 0.619 untuk kepuasan) dan relevansi prediktif yang kuat (Q² > 0.35). Temuan menyoroti kebutuhan akan perbaikan berkelanjutan dalam kualitas sistem, kompetensi instruktur, materi kursus, dan dukungan administratif untuk meningkatkan kepuasan dan memupuk loyalitas dalam program online sepenuhnya. Studi ini memperluas pemahaman teoretis tentang hubungan kualitas layanan–loyalitas dengan mengonfirmasi peran mediasi kepuasan dan peran moderasi nilai yang dirasakan, memberikan wawasan praktis untuk manajemen kualitas dalam pendidikan tinggi online.

Effects of Young Coconut Water Consumption on Blood Pressure in Menopausal Women with Hypertension: A Non-randomized Controlled Trial Study

Permatasari, Suci, Riyanto, Riyanto
Abstract: Hypertension is a non-communicable disease that is a global problem in both developed and developing countries and is the cause of stroke as the second death and third disability. Efforts are needed to reduce and control&#8230; the prevalence of hypertension by utilizing nonpharmacological therapies, such as consuming young coconut water consumption. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the effect of young coconut water consumption on reducing high blood pressure in menopausal women. A nonrandomized controlled trial study with a pretest-posttest control group design was chosen as the design of this study, which was conducted at the Community Health Center of Pekalongan, East Lampung Regency. A consecutive sampling technique was used to select eligible participants among menopausal women diagnosed with mild and moderate hypertension by medical personnel, totalling 16 treatment groups and 16 control groups.  The treatment group was given the intervention of consuming young coconut water 300 ml morning and evening for seven days and taking standard hypertension medication. Meanwhile, the control group took standard hypertension medication. Participants had their blood pressure checked using an aneroid tensimeter before and after treatment. Data were analysed using a paired t-test with a confidence level (α) of 0.05 to prove the treatment effect on blood pressure reduction. The results found that the treatment of drinking young coconut water affected reducing systole blood pressure (p-value 0.016) and diastole (p-value 0.007).  The average decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure pre and post-treatment was 11.25 mmHg and 9.87 mmHg after participants were controlled by taking standard hypertension medications. Drinking young coconut water can be used as a companion option for hypertension treatment by the community.
