Judul: Employee Performance Improvement Scenario at PT XYZ
Abstrak: Peningkatan kinerja karyawan sangat penting bagi organisasi perusahaan agar dapat meningkatkan eksistensi perusahaan dalam persaingan pasar serta memperluas inovasi bisnisnya. Oleh sebab itu, keberhasilan pencapaian visi dan misi suatu organisasi perusahaan akan bergantung pada kinerja yang dihasilkan oleh anggota organisasi tersebut dan dalam hal ini adalah karyawan atau pegawai. Atas dasar tersebut, PT XYZ yang merupakan salah satu industri rafinasi gula yang berada di Indonesia sadar akan pentingnya pengembangan sumber daya manusia yang ada di dalam organisasi perusahaan mereka. Oleh karena itu, dalam upaya untuk meningkatkan kinerja karyawan, PT XYZ menerapkan beberapa program salah satunya adalah implementasi manajemen pengetahuan serta mensosialisasikan kembali budaya organisasi yang ideal untuk organisasi mereka. Namun, dalam upaya penerapan program tersebut PT XYZ kesulitan untuk mengidentifikasi keberhasilan program-program yang telah mereka jalankan. Oleh sebab itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk membantu PT XYZ dalam mengidentifikasi pengaruh manajemen pengetahuan, budaya organisasi, komitmen afektif, serta motivasi kerja terhadap peningkatan kinerja karyawan serta merumuskan strategi untuk meningkatkan kinerja karyawan mereka. Penelitian ini menggunakan dua jenis pendekatan metode yaitu Structural Equation Model (SEM) PLS dan TAIDA. SEM PLS digunakan untuk menganalisis kuesioner yang disebarkan kepada 52 orang responden PT XYZ. Pemilihan sampel responden menggunakan pendekatan slovin. Selanjutnya, hasil analisis SEM PLS tersebut akan digunakan untuk merumuskan skenario terbaik yang dapat diterapkan oleh PT XYZ. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa manajemen pengetahuan, komitmen afektif, dan motivasi kerja memiliki pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan PT XYZ. Selain itu, motivasi kerja dapat memediasi variabel- variabel lain dan memberikan pengaruh positif dan signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan. Selanjutnya, berdasarkan analisis TAIDA terdapat beberapa strategi dan skenario yang dapat diterapkan di lingkungan organisasi PT XYZ dan salah satunya adalah memberikan pelatihan dan seminar secara masif kepada seluruh karyawan PT XYZ beserta insentif dan bonus kepada karyawan yang memiliki kinerja yang baik guna memotivasi mereka agar dapat bekerja lebih baik lagi., Improving employee performance is essential for business organisations striving to increase their market competitiveness and expand their business innovation. Therefore, the achievement of a corporate organization's vision and mission will be reliant on the performance of its members, in this case, its staff or workers. In light of this, PT XYZ, one of the refined sugar industries in Indonesia, recognises the significance of developing human resources within their organisation. In an effort to improve employee performance, PT XYZ implemented a number of programmes, including the implementation of knowledge management and the re- socialization of the organization's ideal organisational culture. However, PT XYZ found it difficult to determine the effectiveness of the programmes they had implemented while implementing the programme. The current research intends to assist PT XYZ in identifying the influence of knowledge management, organisational culture, affective commitment, and work motivation on improving employee performance and formulating strategies to improve employee performance. This research applies two approaches: the Structural Equation Model (SEM) PLS and TAIDA. The questionnaire distributed to 52 respondents at PT XYZ was analysed by SEM PLS. The sampling of respondents adopted the slovin method. In addition, the results of the PLS SEM analysis will be used to formulate a suitable implementation scenario for PT

Judul: Insecticidal Activity of Essential Oils Leaves of Cinnamomum spp. (Lauraceae) against Crocidolomia pavonana and Their Phytotoxicity on Broccoli Seedlings
Abstrak: Essential oils from leaves of 13 species of Cinnamomum were tested for their insecticidal activity on the cabbage head caterpillar Crocidolomia pavonana with leaf immerse method. The results showed that the treatment with 1% (w/v) essential oils leaves of C. celebicum, C. multiflorum, C. sintoc, and C. verum caused 21.45, 93.65, 60.30, and 76.10% mortality, respectively. Based on the results of phytotoxicity and insecticidal activity tests, C. multiflorum oil was further tested at 6 concentration levels. In all treatments, larval mortality has occurred at 24 hours after treatment (HAT) and increased at 48 HAT. LC50 of C. multiflorum oil at 24 and 48 HAT was 0.504 and 0.396%, respectively. The treatment with C. multiflorum oil at ≤0.31% did not inhibit the development of C. pavonana larvae. Determination of the chemical constituents of Cinnamomum oils were carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). Totally, 345 compounds were identified. Methyleugenol constituted the main component (49.4%) of leaf essential oil of C. multiflorum and was assumed to be responsible for the insecticidal activity of the oil against C. pavonana larvae. LC50 of pure methyleugenol obtained at 0.365% (48 HAT) and 0.363% (72 HAT). The results showed that C. multiflorum was more effective with LC50 value equivalent to methyleugenol content of 0.32% (24 HAT) and 0.24% (48 HAT).
