Wirawan
Abstract: This study seeks to examine the impact of kinship-based recruiting practices (nepotism) on the reduction in educational staff performance at Bosowa University, with an emphasis on mass recruitment in 2025, which is expected&#8230; ted to include features of nepotism. An explanatory survey design is combined with a quantitative approach in the study methodology. The 107 educational staff members of Bosowa University in 2026 make up the study population, and a complete sampling technique is used. Questionnaires, interviews, observations, and personnel data recording were used to gather data. Descriptive statistics, basic linear regression, and various tests were employed in data analysis. Kinship-based recruitment procedures fall into the top category, according to the study's results (score 4.17). An estimated 52% of the 42 educational employees hired between 2023 and 2025 did so through non-competitive means that included nepotism. The performance of education staff hired prior to 2023 (score 3.70) and those hired between 2023 and 2025 (score 2.31) differs significantly, by 37.6%. 48.3% of the reduction in performance is positively and significantly impacted by family-based recruitment techniques. For education staff hired through non-merit methods, this report suggests implementing a meritocracy system, thorough HR audits, and competency improvement initiatives.

Ricky Dina Rajendra
Abstract: Sharing-economy merupakan model ekonomi yang telah ada sejak zaman dahulu, di mana pada awalnya manusia berburu, bekerja sama, dan saling barter selama ribuan tahun. Namun, model tersebut mengalami transformasi yang signifikan&#8230; ifikan ketika teknologi terintegrasi di dalamnya. Hanya dengan satu sentuhan, kebutuhan dan ketersediaan layanan dapat langsung ditemukan. Pada sisi lain, sharing-economy dapat menyebabkan disrupsi pasar, regulasi, dan perlakuan non-diskriminatif (e.g. UMR, cuti, dan keselamatan). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis perkembangan dan meninjau dampak sharing-economy dari berbagai aspek, seperti ekonomi, regulasi, persaingan usaha, dan inklusi sosial secara holistik melalui Streamlined TPV Blueprint. Kerangka ini mencakup agenda-agenda yang sistematis dan komprehensif berupa model teknologi UTAUT2, teori partisipasi, dan teori value basic. Selanjutnya, penelitian ini memberikan solusi berupa paket kebijakan strategis melalui kolaborasi Hexahelix dan strategi 3H (Hexa: Optimization, Reformation, Acceleration).  Penelitian ini disusun menggunakan metode penelitian jenis campuran, yaitu metode kuantitatif dengan pendekatan explanatory research dan quantitative descriptive, serta mengelaborasikan elemen-elemen kualitatif yang disajikan melalui pengumpulan informasi. Data dikumpulkan dengan metode triangulasi yang bersumber dari laporan industri, data statistik terkait, OECD, APJII, jurnal terakreditasi, dan internet. Kemudian, dilakukan pengkajian kembali atas data tersebut dalam memproyeksikan output penelitian berupa rekomendasi paket kebijakan ideal atas permasalahan yang diangkat. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa sharing-economy memberikan manfaat seperti efisiensi sumber daya, pertumbuhan wirausaha, dan inklusi sosial. Namun, sharing-economy juga menimbulkan tantangan seperti persaingan tidak adil dengan bisnis konvensional, polemik regulasi, serta kesejahteraan pekerja yang tidak terjamin. Temuan utama menyoroti perlunya strategi 3H dan kolaborasi Hexahelix untuk mengoptimalkan perkembangan sharing-economy. Keterbaruan penelitian ini adalah menyajikan analisis komprehensif dari implikasi sharing-economy di berbagai sektor serta memberikan inovasi rekomendasi paket kebijakan yang holistik pada jangka pendek, menengah, dan panjang.

Perlindungan Hukum Para Pihak dalam Perjanjian Elektronik Menurut Hukum Perdata Indonesia

Nawaskoro, Hardito, Luthfiyyah Amalina Husna
Abstract: Advances in information and communication technology have spurred substantial changes in legal transaction procedures in Indonesia, primarily through the utilization of electronic agreements. Agreements that were previously&#8230; sly made in traditional paper formats are now frequently conducted digitally, raising legal concerns regarding their legality, validity, evidence, and legal protection for the involved parties, particularly consumers. Although electronic agreements are normatively recognized in the Civil Code (KUHP) and the Law on Electronic Information and Transactions, practical implementation issues persist, leading to legal uncertainty. This research employs a normative legal methodology utilizing statutory, conceptual, and comparative approaches. Data was obtained through a literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal sources related to electronic agreements and civil legal protection. Qualitative descriptive analysis was conducted to investigate the legal status of electronic agreements and the legal protection available for the parties within the Indonesian legal framework. The discussion results indicate that electronic agreements possess legal validity and binding force equivalent to traditional agreements, provided they meet the criteria for a valid agreement as outlined in Article 1320 of the Civil Code and the provisions of the Information Technology Law. Legal protection in electronic agreements encompasses legal certainty, the recognition of electronic document and signature evidence, and consumer protection against detrimental standard clauses. Nevertheless, challenges remain in establishing party identification, ensuring the integrity of digital contracts, and addressing power imbalances between commercial entities and consumers. This study concludes that while electronic agreements are legally recognized under Indonesian civil law, enhancing legal protection requires strengthened regulations, consistent law enforcement, and improved legal and digital literacy among the public to ensure secure, fair, and equitable electronic transactions.  

THE AUTHORITY OF A NOTARIAL DEED COPY THAT UNDERTAKES CORRECTIONS DUE TO WRITING AND/OR TYPING ERRORS

Fandy Purnama, I Wayan Wesna Astara, Ida Bagus Agung Putra Santika
Abstract: The ambiguity of the norms in Article 51 of the Law raises issues regarding the validity of copies of corrected deeds and the liability of Notaries towards the parties involved. This study aims to analyze the legal status&#8230; s of the corrected deed copies and the forms of Notaries' responsibility for errors that occur. The research method used is normative juridical legal research with legislative and conceptual approaches, through descriptive qualitative analysis of primary and secondary legal materials. Research findings indicate that corrections to copies of deeds remain valid and equivalent to the deed minutes as long as the errors are administrative in nature and the corrections are made in accordance with regulations, so they do not alter the substance of the deed. However, if corrections are made not in accordance with the UUJN procedures or result in substantial differences with the minutes, then the copy of the deed may be downgraded to a private deed and categorized as a legally defective deed. Notaries are liable in civil, administrative, criminal, and ethical terms, because such negligence constitutes an unlawful act under the concept of liability. In conclusion, corrections to deed copies remain valid as long as they do not change the substance and are carried out according to procedure, while Notaries are obliged to bear legal responsibility for any typing or writing errors arising from their negligence.
