Design And Development Of A Laravel 13 Based E-Commerce Referral System For Seller Monitoring And Accountability

Tegar Puji Bachtiar, Primaadi Airlangga
Abstract: The rapid growth of electronic transactions necessitates systems capable of monitoring seller quality and reputation across marketplace platforms. This study aims to design and implement a seller referral system on a Laravel… avel 13 based e-commerce platform integrated with performance monitoring and seller accountability mechanisms. Built using the Prototype model encompassing communication, planning, modeling, prototyping, and deployment phases the system utilizes MySQL for database management. Registered sellers can distribute unique referral codes to prospective sellers, with the system automatically recording these relationships to enable structured tracking of activities, product counts, store ratings, and access status of referred sellers. Functional testing conducted via a black-box approach demonstrated that the authentication, referral registration, dashboard, monitoring, order management, and store settings modules operated strictly according to specifications, achieving a 100% test case pass rate. The primary contribution of this research lies in shifting the referral paradigm from simple user acquisition to a peer-accountability framework that holds referring sellers responsible for the performance of their recruits, thereby mitigating the presence of unreliable sellers and fostering greater trust in the online shopping environment.

Design Of A Decision Support System For Prioritizing Village Infrastructure Development Using The SAW Method

Daud Brilian Simanjuntak, Edward Rajagukuguk, Surianto Sitepu
Abstract: Village infrastructure development planning often faces challenges in determining priorities due to limited budget allocations and assessment mechanisms that still tend to be subjective. This study aims to build an objective,… tive, transparent, and measurable Decision Support System (DSS) to determine the priority order of infrastructure development proposals in Asam Jawa Village, Torgamba District. The applied solution integrates the Rank Order Centroid (ROC) method to calculate criteria weighting based on relative importance, and the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method to process the alternative ranking calculation. The evaluation was conducted on 23 physical infrastructure proposals using four main criteria: urgency level (C1), physical condition (C2), benefits (C3), and population size (C4). The results indicate that alternative A4 (Construction of Borehole Well and Public Toilet at Field) and alternative A18 (Sejahtera Street Concrete Cast) achieved the highest preference score of 1.000000, followed by other infrastructure proposals in a structured manner. The combined use of ROC and SAW methods is proven to be effective and consistent in generating accurate rural development priority rankings. The integration of these two methods facilitates village government officials in making accountable decisions while minimizing cognitive bias risks in optimizing development budget allocation.

Development Of A Non-Intrusive RFID Elevator Access Control System For Residential Buildings

Parade Parsaulian Purba, Vivin Octowinandi, Prasaja Wikanta, Muhammad Arifin
Abstract: This study developed and evaluated a standalone, non-intrusive radio frequency identification (RFID)-based elevator access control system for a four-story residential building. The system used an Arduino Uno, an MFRC522… RFID reader, and relay interfaces to regulate access to Floors 2, 3, and 4. Authorized card identifiers and floor permissions were stored locally, enabling offline operation without an external database or network connection. The relays interfaced only with the elevator push-button circuits and did not modify the original controller, motor drive, door mechanism, or safety system. Performance was evaluated using 47 registered cards and three unregistered cards, with each card tested 50 times, producing 2,500 authentication trials. Under the tested conditions, all registered cards were correctly authenticated according to their assigned floor permissions, while all unregistered cards were rejected. The system achieved 100% authentication accuracy, 100% correct relay activation, and 100% unauthorized-card rejection. Stable card detection was obtained at distances of up to approximately 1 cm. The first-floor button remained independent of the RFID module to preserve minimum accessibility during module failure. The proposed system provides a practical and low-cost retrofit solution for floor-specific elevator access control in small residential buildings.

Sulati, Sulati, Riharjo , Ikhsan Budi
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the financial management strategies implemented by a local property and real estate company in facing conditions of Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity (VUCA). The study employed… a qualitative approach with a single-case study design at PT RBP in Tuban Regency. Data were obtained through in-depth interviews with nine informants at strategic, managerial, and operational levels, supported by observation and company documentation. Data were analyzed thematically with the assistance of NVivo, and validity was assessed through source and method triangulation. The findings show that PT RBP implements an adaptive-conservative financial management strategy oriented toward cash-flow stability while maintaining the ability to respond to changes in the business environment. The strategy is realized through the use of internal capital, cash-flow control, phased development, cost monitoring, customer screening, transaction flexibility, and diversification of banks and suppliers. The strategy is reinforced by cross-functional communication and an adaptive organizational culture. The findings indicate that the combination of financial prudence and adaptive capability constitutes an important mechanism for maintaining project continuity, financial stability, and operational resilience amid VUCA pressures.

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… 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.

How Individualized Consideration Enhances Work-Life Balance: The Mediating Role of Organizational Citizenship Behavior and the Moderating Effect of Work Overload

Arifin, Zainal, Sanusi, Fauji, Ichwanudin, Wawan, Mukhsin, Moh., Prahiawan, Wawan, Setya, Yanto Azie
Abstract: Maintaining employees’ Work-Life Balance (WLB) remains a major challenge for organizations operating under high operational demands. This study examines the effect of Individualized Consideration on Work-Life Balance through… hrough Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB), with Work Overload as a moderating variable. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using a census survey involving 149 operational employees at PT PLN (Persero) UPT Cikupa, Indonesia. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal that Individualized Consideration has a positive and significant effect on Organizational Citizenship Behavior but does not have a significant direct effect on Work-Life Balance. Organizational Citizenship Behavior, in turn, has a positive and significant effect on Work-Life Balance and fully mediates the relationship between Individualized Consideration and Work-Life Balance. Meanwhile, Work Overload does not significantly moderate the relationship between Individualized Consideration and Work-Life Balance. These findings demonstrate that individualized leadership contributes to employees’ Work-Life Balance primarily through the development of Organizational Citizenship Behavior rather than through a direct mechanism, particularly in a high-demand operational environment. Practically, the study suggests that organizations should strengthen Organizational Citizenship Behavior by fostering collaboration, voluntary support, and constructive interpersonal behavior among employees, rather than relying solely on individualized leadership practices to improve Work-Life Balance.

Wilujeng, Ita Prihatining, Dhewi, Titis Shinta, Muhammad, Naufal Dzakwana, Paramitha, Fortuna Pradnya, Wardani, Desiana Aulia, Puspasari, Shafa' Annisa
Abstract: Amidst the growing number of tourism villages and intensifying competition among destinations, tourism village managers face the challenge of devising digital marketing strategies that are not merely informative but also… capable of sustainably building meaning, experiences, and destination competitiveness. This study aims to examine the social media-based digital marketing strategies implemented by a specific attraction within Pujon Kidul Tourism Village identifying supporting and inhibiting factors and to analyze the role of digital narratives in shaping the destination's image and competitiveness. A qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through in-depth interviews with tourism village managers (BUMDes), the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis), tourism-related MSMEs, village officials, and tourists. Data analysis was conducted thematically, utilizing source triangulation to ensure the validity of the findings. The study reveals that social media management remains reactive and unplanned, characterized by the absence of content calendars, creative direction, and performance evaluation mechanisms. Furthermore, there is a misalignment between the digital narratives used and the core identity of Cafe Sawah Pujon Kidul as a culinary destination rooted in the rural experience. Nevertheless, there are opportunities to be leveraged, such as hosting TikTok live streams which have proven effective for content collaboration with local SMEs and communities as well as the management's openness to learning and guidance.

Circular Process Innovation for Sustainable Operations: A Review of TQM and Green Intelligence

Thahira, Agniya, Rahab, Rahab, Nurhasanah, Saniatun
Abstract: This study systematically reviews the development of Total Quality Management (TQM) practices in relation to Green Quality Intelligence Capabilities (GQIC), Circular Process Innovation (CPI), and Sustainable Operational… Performance (SOP). Responding to the need for a clearer review method and a more focused novelty, this article applies the PRISMA 2020-based Systematic Literature Review approach. Articles were identified from the Scopus database using keyword combinations related to TQM, quality management practices, green capability, green innovation, circular economy, circular process innovation, Industry 4.0, Quality 4.0, and sustainability performance. After identification, screening, eligibility assessment, and quality appraisal, 27 articles published between 2016 and 2026 were included in the final synthesis. The findings show that TQM literature has shifted from traditional quality control and customer satisfaction toward digital, green, and sustainability-oriented quality management. Soft TQM dimensions, such as leadership, employee involvement, training, and quality culture, and hard TQM dimensions, such as process management, quality tools, continuous improvement, and data-based decision making, remain dominant. However, prior studies still frequently use general mediators, including knowledge management, organizational culture, innovation capability, and competitive advantage. This review proposes CPI as a more specific mediation mechanism that translates TQM and GQIC into sustainable operational outcomes through waste reduction, resource efficiency, material reuse, energy efficiency, and circular process redesign. The study contributes by offering an integrated conceptual model and propositions for future empirical research on quality management, green intelligence, circular innovation, and sustainable operations.

A SOCIOLOGY OF LITERATURE STUDY ON RONGGENG DUKUH PARUK AND THE DONBRET-SINTREN TRADITION OF ERETAN: PATRIARCHAL HEGEMONY, SACREDNESS, AND CULTURAL COMMODIFICATION

Taiman, Taiman
Abstract: Traditional performing arts along the northern coast of Java often place female performers at the complex intersection of spiritual sacredness, patriarchal control, and modern economic commodification. This study aims to… analyze the social realities, gender power dynamics, and cultural transformations represented in Ahmad Tohari's novel Ronggeng Dukuh Paruk (RDP) in direct comparison with the empirical practices of Donbret and Sintren arts in Eretan, Indramayu. Utilizing a sociology of literature framework combined with feminist culture and political economy theories, this research investigates the persistence of animistic beliefs, mechanisms of patriarchal hegemony, and the erosion of sacredness due to commercialization. Data were collected through textual hermeneutics, in-depth ethnographic field observations, interviews with local cultural custodians, and socio-structural analytical methods. The findings reveal that while both the literary text and the living traditions share an ancestral lineage in animistic rituals where the female body functions as a sacred medium for ancestral spirits (indang), contemporary socio-economic pressures have significantly altered these structures. The sacred status of female performers is systematically degraded into an object of eroticism, saweran transactions, and male control. This paper emphasizes the vulnerability of traditional female-centered performing arts amidst societal transformation and commercialization.

TOWARDS AN INTEGRATED MODEL OF COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN BUSINESS EDUCATION : THE ROLE OF BILINGUAL COMPETENCY AND PAIR INTERACTION

R, Suhartina
Abstract: Communicative competence has become an essential competency for business education students in response to the growing demands of multilingual, multicultural, and technology-driven workplaces. However, previous studies have… ave generally examined bilingual competency, collaborative learning, and communicative competence as separate constructs, providing limited understanding of their integrated relationships. This study aimed to develop an Integrated Communicative Competence Model for business education through the synthesis of previous empirical studies and recent international literature. A conceptual research design employing an integrative evidence synthesis approach was used to analyse empirical findings on bilingual competency, pair interaction, communicative competence, and professional readiness. The synthesis demonstrates that bilingual competency provides the linguistic and intercultural foundation for effective communication, while pair interaction functions as a collaborative learning mechanism that strengthens authentic communication practices. The interaction of these dimensions enhances communicative competence, which subsequently improves students' professional readiness and graduate employability in multilingual business environments. The proposed model contributes to communication studies by integrating bilingual competency and collaborative learning into a unified conceptual framework and provides practical guidance for curriculum development and communication-oriented learning in business education.
