distribution of infrastructure development, especially in remote areas. Economic growth, driven by increased goods and services, is closely tied to infrastructure such as roads, electricity, and water distribution. This study analyzes the impact of these infrastructural elements and labor force participation on economic growth, measured by Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), across 34 provinces from 2017 to 2021. Using panel data regression, the results reveal that road length, electricity distribution, and clean water distribution have significant positive effects on GRDP. However, labor force participation shows an insignificant impact. Together, these variables explain 57% of GRDP growth. The findings highlight the critical role of infrastructure in economic development, with provinces like Jakarta leading the growth while regions like North Maluku lag behind. Improving infrastructure and addressing regional disparities are essential to enhancing Indonesia’s overall economic performance.
Abstract:Green culture, an organizational approach centered on environmental consciousness and practices, plays an increasingly significant role in promoting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This study investigates the influence…
ence of green culture on the progress of SDGs, focusing on the integration of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) as a moderating variable. Through this exploration, we aim to understand how GCG can either enhance or hinder the effectiveness of green culture initiatives toward achieving specific SDG targets. This research uses a quantitative approach, analyzing data from organizations implementing green culture practices alongside structured GCG frameworks. Results indicate that companies that prioritize green culture see measurable improvements in meeting SDG objectives, especially in areas like resource management, waste reduction, and energy efficiency. The moderation effect of GCG shows that governance policies significantly influence the success of green initiatives, either amplifying their benefits or presenting challenges in aligning with sustainability goals. Key findings highlight that effective GCG not only supports environmental practices but also enhances organizational transparency and stakeholder trust. This study underscores the need for organizations to adopt integrated approaches where green culture and GCG work in synergy to maximize the positive impacts on SDG achievements. Such a framework can serve as a model for sustainable development, providing a pathway for businesses to balance profitability with global environmental and social responsibilities.

This research is intended to reveal the impact of marketing promotion tactics and the level of customer satisfaction on the Bukalapak platform, which will ultimately influence consumer loyalty at Bukalapak. This study applies quantitative methods by utilizing descriptive analysis as the main tool. The information collection process is carried out through the distribution of survey instruments. The objects that are the focus of this research are active Bukalapak users. Referring to the Slovin formula, it is revealed that the minimum number of participants required is 100 individuals. Based on the findings obtained from this exploration, it can be concluded that the Marketing Mix Variable (X1) provides good or positive results and is quite significant on Consumer Loyalty (Y). The Consumer Satisfaction variable (X2) has a positive and significant effect on Consumer Loyalty (Y), then together the Marketing Mix and Consumer Satisfaction variables measurably have a good, positive and clearly significant effect on the Consumer Loyalty variable. Researchers have several suggestions, namely that companies should further improve aspects of the marketing mix so that the goals set by the company can be realized as quickly as possible. Then the company can increase the level of service, promotions and other strategies to maintain and increase the level of consumer satisfaction.

bilities is not easy, yet the subject of this study strives to find meaning in every difficult experience. The purpose of this study is to understand how the subject, as a parent of a child with cerebral palsy, discovers meaning in life. Life's meaning encompasses what is considered important and valuable, providing special significance to an individual's life. This meaning can be found in both positive and negative circumstances, in happiness and suffering. The process involves realizing opportunities within certain situations and understanding what can be done. This qualitative study employs a descriptive case study design, with data collected through interviews and observations of a single subject. Data validity is ensured by also interviewing a significant other. The analysis reveals that the subject's meaning in life is reflected in her life goals, such as improving her living conditions, owning a house, and hoping her child becomes independent.
Abstract:This study explores the relationship between social media usage, physical self-concept, and social anxiety among students at Universitas Persada Indonesia YAI. Social media has become an essential aspect of daily life, especially…
specially among younger generations, significantly impacting various dimensions of their psychological well-being. Physical self-concept, which encompasses individuals' perceptions and evaluations of their physical attributes, also plays a crucial role in shaping self-esteem and social interactions. This research adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing convenience sampling to gather data from a sample of 200 students. The study employs three Likert scale-based instruments: the Social Anxiety Scale, Social Media Usage Scale, and Physical Self-Concept Scale. Data were analyzed using linear regression. The first hypothesis test revealed a t-value of 7.816, with a corresponding significance (Sig) value of 0.000, which is below the 0.05 threshold. This result supports the first hypothesis, indicating a positive and statistically significant relationship between social media usage and social anxiety. Similarly, the second hypothesis test yielded a t-value of -5.887, with a Sig value of 0.000, also below the 0.05 threshold. This finding confirms the second hypothesis, revealing a significant negative impact of physical self-concept on social anxiety. Overall, the study concludes that both social media usage and physical self-concept significantly influence social anxiety among Generation Z students at Universitas Persada Indonesia YAI.

These challenges are particularly prevalent among adolescents, who frequently compare themselves to others in their environment. Body dissatisfaction emerges when adolescents compare their actual body to an idealized version and struggle to accept their current appearance. One factor influencing body dissatisfaction is self-compassion, which can either mitigate or exacerbate these feelings. This study aims to investigate the relationship between self-compassion and body dissatisfaction among students of the Faculty of Psychology at Bhayangkara University Jakarta Raya. Using convenience sampling, 100 students participated in the study. The findings indicate a significant negative correlation between self-compassion and body dissatisfaction, with a correlation coefficient of r = -0.803*** and p = 0.000 (p < 0.05).
Abstract:This study aims to explore and understand the dynamics of community participation in the village development planning process (Musrenbangdes) in Tambayoli Village, Soyo Jaya District, North Morowali Regency. Using a qualitative…
itative approach, data were collected through purposive sampling, open data collection methods, and analysis of both textual and visual materials. The primary methods of data collection included participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and document review. The findings reveal that, although some awareness of Musrenbangdes has been achieved through existing announcement systems, the overall effectiveness of community participation remains limited. Many residents perceive the process as a formality, with decisions dominated by specific stakeholders, leading to low levels of trust and engagement. The study identifies significant barriers to active participation, such as inadequate information dissemination, lack of transparency, and limited involvement in both the implementation and benefit-sharing of development projects. The research suggests that for Musrenbangdes to be more effective, there needs to be a concerted effort to enhance transparency, ensure equitable information distribution, and create a more inclusive participatory framework. These findings have implications for improving governance and promoting sustainable development at the village level.
Abstract:This study explores the impact of self-regulated learning on the academic achievement of underachieving students at SMPN 12 Bekasi City. Self-regulated learning, a critical element in academic success, includes the ability…
ty to plan, monitor, and evaluate one’s learning activities. The research employed a quantitative descriptive method, selecting 49 underachieving students through purposive sampling. Data collection was conducted using structured questionnaires completed by the students. Statistical analysis identified a significant but negative relationship between self-regulated learning and academic performance, with a correlation coefficient of -0.172. This suggests that students with lower self-regulation tend to perform worse academically. The findings highlight the importance of targeted interventions to improve self-regulated learning skills among underachievers, which could potentially enhance their academic success.
Abstract:This study aims to determine the role of emotion regulation on academic resilience in 10th, 12th, and 14th semester students who are working on an undergraduate thesis. The research method used is quantitative, employing…
multiple regression analysis techniques to analyze the data. The instruments used in this study include the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) scale, developed by Gross and John (2003), to measure emotion regulation, and The Academic Resilience Scale (ARS-30), developed by Cassidy (2016), to measure academic resilience. The results of the study reveal that there is a significant positive effect of cognitive reappraisal emotion regulation on academic resilience among students in their 10th, 12th, and 14th semesters who are working on their thesis, accounting for 27.1% of the variance in academic resilience. This finding suggests that students who engage in cognitive reappraisal, a strategy that involves reinterpreting a situation to change its emotional impact, are more likely to demonstrate resilience in the face of academic challenges. In contrast, the study found no significant effect of expressive suppression emotion regulation on academic resilience in the same group of students. Expressive suppression, which involves inhibiting the outward expression of emotions, does not appear to contribute to the ability of students to remain resilient while working on their thesis. These findings highlight the importance of cognitive emotion regulation strategies in fostering academic resilience among students, particularly during challenging academic tasks such as thesis completion.
