Aulia Priyantomo, Bayu, Sukma Nurul Hidaya, Rindi, Cahyani Dopong Abora, Regita, Ghozi Ulaa Adani, Abdurrahman
Abstract: Pengelolaan sampah di Desa Sidowungu, Kecamatan Menganti, Kabupaten Gresik masih menghadapi permasalahan berupa rendahnya pemilahan sampah dari sumber, pencatatan transaksi yang dilakukan secara manual, keterbatasan data,… , serta kurangnya transparansi nilai ekonomi sampah bagi masyarakat. Kegiatan pengabdian kepada masyarakat ini bertujuan memperkuat tata kelola sampah kering melalui penerapan Bank Sampah Digital berbasis web yang dikelola oleh Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes). Pelaksanaan kegiatan menggunakan pendekatan community development melalui tahapan observasi dan identifikasi kebutuhan, koordinasi dengan mitra, pengembangan sistem, sosialisasi, pelatihan, uji coba, pendampingan, serta evaluasi. Subjek kegiatan meliputi pengelola BUMDes, pemerintah desa, kader PKK, dan sekitar 150 kepala keluarga pada fase implementasi awal. Program menghasilkan platform digital yang mendukung pengelolaan data nasabah, kategori dan harga sampah, pencatatan hasil penimbangan, perhitungan nilai transaksi, saldo tabungan, riwayat setoran, stok, dan pelaporan. Implementasi sistem membantu pengelola BUMDes melakukan pencatatan transaksi secara lebih terstruktur, mempercepat penghitungan nilai setoran, serta meningkatkan keterlacakan dan transparansi informasi bagi nasabah. Kegiatan pelatihan dan pendampingan juga meningkatkan kemampuan awal pengelola dalam mengoperasikan sistem serta mendorong keterlibatan kader PKK dalam edukasi pemilahan sampah kepada masyarakat. Meskipun demikian, keberlanjutan program masih memerlukan penguatan kapasitas operator, konsistensi partisipasi warga, pemeliharaan sistem, kemitraan dengan pengepul, dan pengukuran dampak secara berkala. Program Smart Waste Village memberikan fondasi awal bagi pengelolaan sampah berbasis data, pemberdayaan masyarakat, penguatan peran BUMDes, dan pengembangan ekonomi sirkular di tingkat desa secara berkelanjutan.

TikTok Shop Live Streaming and Gen Z’s Repurchase Intention in Fashion Retail: The Mediating Role of Customer Experience

Sandira, Nur Fadilah Ayu, Sarah, Nulthazam, Ridha, Achmad, Rostina, Sachrir, Muh. Irshan
Abstract: Fashion sellers on TikTok Shop increasingly rely on live streaming marketing to engage Generation Z consumers, although how well this approach translates into repeat purchases remains underexplored, particularly the extent… nt to which customer experience functions as a psychological link between the two. This study examines how live streaming marketing influences repurchase intention through customer experience as a mediating variable, focusing on Generation Z fashion consumers who use TikTok Shop in Makassar City. A quantitative design was applied, drawing on a purposive sample of 280 respondents, with data analyzed through SEM-PLS using SmartPLS 4. Findings reveal that live streaming marketing has a positive and significant influence on customer experience, whereas its direct effect on repurchase intention is not significant. Customer experience, in turn, positively and significantly affects repurchase intention and fully mediates the link between live streaming marketing and repurchase intention. These patterns suggest that Generation Z consumers remain skeptical of direct marketing cues and instead give greater weight to personal experience quality when deciding to repurchase. The study extends the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework to the live commerce setting and offers practical guidance for sellers to redirect marketing efforts from promotional intensity toward building immersive, personalized shopping experiences.

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.

Pranata, Ramandhita Dwi, Wardhana, Ery Tri Djatmika Rudijanto Wahyu, Pratikto, Heri
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the influence of work skills, work discipline, and work motivation on employee performance with a reward scheme as a moderation variable in BU17 employees of PT. Tjiwi Chemical Paper Factory, Tbk.… bk. The research uses an explanatory quantitative approach using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method. The research population amounted to 379 employees with a sample of 192 respondents selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data collection was carried out through a questionnaire based on the Likert scale and analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0. The results of the study show that work skills, work discipline, and work motivation have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. In addition, reward schemes have been shown to be able to moderate the relationship between job skills, work discipline, and work motivation to employee performance significantly. These findings suggest that rewards not only serve as a form of organizational reward, but also as a work behavior reinforcer that is able to increase the effectiveness of individual contributions to performance achievement. This research provides theoretical implications in the development of the human resource management literature based on reinforcement theory and human capital theory, as well as practical implications for companies in designing a fair, transparent, and performance-based reward system to increase organizational productivity and effectiveness.

Zahra, Fatwa Az, Musa, Chalid Imran, Riu, Isma Azis, Aswar, Nurul Fadilah, Abadi, Rahmat Riwayat
Abstract: The rapid growth of local cafes in medium-sized cities has shifted competition from product-based offerings to experience-based value creation. This study examines how service quality and store atmosphere influence customer… mer loyalty through customer satisfaction at See You Cafe in Pinrang City. The study employed a quantitative associative-causal design involving 160 customers selected through purposive sampling, with criteria including customers aged at least 17 years and having visited See You Cafe at least twice. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire measured on a four-point Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The results show that service quality has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. Store atmosphere also has a positive and significant effect on customer satisfaction, indicating that physical and sensory elements of the cafe contribute to customers’ positive evaluations. However, store atmosphere does not significantly affect customer loyalty. Customer satisfaction also does not significantly affect loyalty and does not mediate the relationship between service quality and loyalty or between store atmosphere and loyalty. These findings suggest that customer loyalty at See You Cafe is shaped more directly by service quality than by satisfaction or store atmosphere. The study implies that cafe management should prioritize improving service reliability, particularly order-serving timeliness, while maintaining a comfortable atmosphere. In addition, loyalty-building strategies should go beyond customer satisfaction by strengthening service consistency, personalization, and long-term customer engagement

THE IMPACT OF MAQASHID SHARIA DIMENSIONS ON HALAL COSMETICS USAGE INTENTION AMONG MARRIED MUSLIM WOMEN

Arsiani, Dhewsi, Indra, Indra
Abstract: This study examines the influence of Maqashid Sharia dimensions on halal cosmetic usage intention among married Muslim women and investigates the moderating role of price affordability. A quantitative approach was employed… ed using a survey method involving 157 married Muslim women residing in the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek), Indonesia. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The findings reveal that among the five Maqashid Sharia dimensions examined, only hifz al-mal (protection of wealth) and hifz al-nasl (protection of lineage) significantly and positively influence halal cosmetic usage intention. In contrast, hifz al-din (protection of religion), hifz al-nafs (protection of life), and hifz al-aql (protection of intellect) do not show significant effects. Price affordability demonstrates a significant direct positive effect on usage intention; however, it does not moderate the relationships between any of the Maqashid Sharia dimensions and usage intention. The model explains 65.5% of the variance in halal cosmetic usage intention (R² = 0.655) with a predictive relevance value of Q² = 0.469. These findings suggest that economic rationality and family orientation serve as the primary drivers of halal cosmetic consumption among married Muslim women, rather than individual religiosity or health awareness. This study contributes to the literature by applying the Maqashid Sharia framework to consumer behavior research and provides practical implications for halal cosmetic industry stakeholders.
