Abstract:This study aims to examine the effect of job satisfaction and work motivation on organizational commitment of employees at the Civil Service Police Unit (Satpol PP) of Bogor Regency. The research employed a quantitative…
causal approach with a population of 65 employees working in the Guidance and Inspection Division of Satpol PP Bogor Regency. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results revealed that, partially, both job satisfaction and work motivation have a significant effect on organizational commitment, as indicated by the t-value being greater than the t-table. Simultaneously, both variables also showed a significant effect with a P Value of 20.706 and Sig. 0.000 < 0.05. The Adjusted R Square value of 0.381 indicates that job satisfaction and work motivation contribute 38.1% to organizational commitment, while the remaining 61.9% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. The regression equation obtained is Y = 13.869 + 0.271X1 + 0.449X2, which demonstrates a positive influence of both independent variables on organizational commitment. Among the two variables, work motivation was found to be the most dominant factor, with a regression coefficient of 0.449.
Abstract:The Minister of Education and Science and Technology stated that MBKM will be continued with various improvements. The Independent Campus (MBKM) was initiated by the Minister of Education and Culture through the Regulation…
on of the Minister of Education and Culture Number 3 of 2020 concerning National Standards for Higher Education, especially in articles 18 and 15, aiming to answer the challenges of the capacity of higher education institutions that have not been able to adapt quickly to prepare relevant and quality graduates with the presence of Industry 4.0. Based on this decision, Bina Mandiri University Gorontalo has participated in and run the MBKM program. However, the implementation is still limited so that the scope of implementation is only at one point and then affects the development of unsustainable programs. Related to the MBKM program, undergraduate students of Educational Technology have been trained and are able to design software, one of which is for libraries in schools. This was proven in the implementation of previous research entitled The Impact of MBKM Project-Based Learning on Problem Solving for Undergraduate Students of Educational Technology at Bina Mandiri University, Gorontalo. Considering that the MBKM program is important to run and its sustainability is expected, its implementation is very urgent. In coastal areas, especially schools in Randangan Village, Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province, it is known that digitalization in the implementation of education has not been effective, so there needs to be digitalization of library software to support student learning activities outside school hours or on holidays. The purpose of this study is to implement MBKM: a digitalization project and the use of library software in schools in Randangan Village, Pohuwato Regency, Gorontalo Province.

The strategies used include storytelling, discussions, history learning, religious activities, social activities, and student involvement in school activities such as ceremonies, Scouts, and Paskibraka. Supporting factors include the principal's commitment, teacher quality, curriculum, facilities and infrastructure, the school environment, and parental and community support. Obstacles include low student motivation, limited time, lack of participation, and limited learning methods. The implementation of this strategy has a positive impact on increasing love for the homeland, tolerance, discipline, honesty, cooperation, and responsibility among students.
Abstract:This study aims to analyze the relationship and influence of coal quality parameters which include Total Moisture (TM), Ash Content (ASH), and Total Sulfur (TS) on Gross Calorific Value (GCV). The data used in this study…
is data from laboratory tests on 23 samples of Run Of Mine (ROM) coal at seam 16 at PT Unggul Nusantara, North Barito Regency, Central Kalimantan. Data analysis was performed statistically using the help of SPSS software through Pearson correlation test and multiple linear regression analysis. The results of the correlation test showed that simultaneously, the TM, ASH, and TS parameters had a very strong relationship with the GCV value with a correlation coefficient (R) of 0.893 and contributed an influence of 76.5%. Partially, Ash Content (ASH) had a very strong negative relationship (r = -0.881) and had a significant effect on calorie values (p = 0.000). Each 1% increase in ash content would decrease the GCV value by 68.249 Kcal/Kg. Meanwhile, Total Moisture had a significant positive relationship by simple correlation (r = 0.506, p = 0.014), but showed no partial significant effect in multiple regression models (p = 0.364). Total Sulfur was found to have a very weak negative relationship (r = -0.182) and had no significant effect on GCV values (p = 0.406). This study concludes that Ash Content is the most dominant parameter that affects the reduction of the caloric value of coal seam 16 at PT Unggul Nusantara.

er distribution and its impact on rice productivity in the tidal lowland areas of Tanjung Lago District, Banyuasin Regency. The research employed both quantitative and qualitative descriptive approaches using a stratified random sampling method involving 60 farmers who received subsidized fertilizer and 30 farmers who did not reveive subsidizer fertilizer. The effectiveness of subsidizer fertilizer distribution was evaluated using a likert scale based on the Six Appropriateness Principles, while the impct on rice productivity was analyzed by comparing the productivity levels of the two farmer groups. The findings showed that the distribution of subsidized fertilizer was generally categorized as moderately effective, with an average effectiveness score of 71,33%. The price compliance indicator was classified as highly effective (91,66%), while location suitability was categorized as effective (81,00%). Meanwhile, quantity appropriateness, fertilizer type suitability, and timeliness of distribution were categorized as moderately effective. The findings showed that the distribution of subsidized fertilizer was generally categorized as moderately effective, with an average effectiveness score of 71.33%. The price compliance indicator was classified as highly effective (91.66%), while location suitability was categorized as effective (81.00%). Meanwhile, quantity appropriateness, fertilizer type suitability, and timeliness of distribution were categorized as moderately effective. In contrast, the fertilizer quality suitability indicator was still considered ineffective, with an effectiveness score of 55%. The use or subsidized fertilizer also contributed positively to rice productivity. Farmers receiving subsidized fertilizer achieved an average rice productivity of 3.77 ton ha⁻¹, whereas farmers who did non receive subsidized fertilizer produced an average productivity of 3.20 ton ha⁻¹. This resulted in a productivity defference of 0.57 ha⁻¹.. equivalent to approximately 17.81%.

lus Pricing to evaluate supply chain effectiveness and determine appropriate product pricing. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation involving 50 respondents, consisting of fish farmers, middlemen, wholesalers, and market traders. The results indicate that the Pangasius distribution system still involves multiple intermediaries, resulting in relatively weak bargaining power for fish farmers. The distribution process takes approximately 1–2 days and is constrained by limited cold storage facilities, which affects product quality. Cost analysis shows that the cost of production is IDR 20,239.15 per kg, while the ideal selling price is IDR 22,263.06 per kg, with a profit margin of 10%. Improvements in the distribution system, better access to market information, and enhanced logistical support are necessary to increase distribution efficiency and improve farmers’ profitability.

Abstract:This study aims to analyze the communication strategy employed by the NEI-DT Foundation in building community trust through a community-based healthcare service program in Tritunggal Hamlet, Banyuasin Regency, South Sumatra,…
tra, Indonesia. The study is motivated by the importance of organizational communication strategies in enhancing public participation and program legitimacy within rural communities characterized by limited access to information, geographical constraints, and community-oriented social structures. Adopting a constructivist paradigm, this research employs a qualitative approach using an intrinsic case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document analysis involving seven informants, including foundation representatives, community leaders, and program beneficiaries. Data were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña, encompassing data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the foundation’s communication strategy involves identifying community characteristics, developing simple and contextually relevant messages, utilizing a combination of digital and traditional communication channels, and engaging local leaders as communication intermediaries. Program information is disseminated through village heads, neighborhood leaders, women’s community groups (PKK), social media platforms such as WhatsApp and Facebook, and mosque loudspeaker announcements. The study further demonstrates that the communication pattern reflects the Two-Step Flow of Communication model, in which community leaders function as opinion leaders who mediate organizational messages before they reach the wider community. Community trust is cultivated through the social legitimacy of local leaders, interpersonal communication, direct experiences with program benefits, and the consistency of services provided by the foundation. The study concludes that the effectiveness of community-based organizational communication strategies in rural settings is determined not only by message content and media utilization but also by the organization’s ability to establish interpersonal relationships, adapt communication practices to local cultural contexts, and actively involve community leaders within the communication network. This research contributes to the advancement of community-based organizational communication studies by providing empirical insights into trust-building processes in rural community development programs
Abstract:This study describes the strategies and mentoring model implemented by HIMPAUDI in Krui, West Pesisir Regency, to improve the professionalism of early childhood education teachers. This research employed a descriptive qualitative…
alitative approach, with primary data collected through a structured interview with a HIMPAUDI board member in West Pesisir Regency. The findings show that HIMPAUDI mentoring is carried out through tiered training, curriculum and learning workshops, teacher working groups, seminars, mentoring, supervision, sharing of good practices, and socialization of professional ethics. The mentoring model is participatory, collaborative, continuous, needs-based, reflective, and ethical-professional. These activities strengthen teachers pedagogical, professional, social, and personal competencies, particularly in understanding child development, designing creative learning, developing learning media, adapting the curriculum, and maintaining professional responsibility. However, implementation is constrained by limited time, training costs, unequal access to information, varied teacher motivation, digital competence, and coastal geographical conditions. The study recommends strengthening local professional development through professional learning communities, mentoring cycles, digital support, and institutional collaboration among HIMPAUDI, local government, higher education institutions, and early childhood education providers.
