Leveraging Employee Voice Behavior for Organizational Change: The Role of Commitment and Engagement in a Digital Era
Authors: Badaruddin
Published: February 2025

In the digital era, organizational change is increasingly influenced by employee engagement and commitment, particularly through voice behavior. This study examines the direct and indirect impact of organizational commitment and employee engagement on organizational change, mediated by employee voice behavior. The research was conducted at PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim, involving 127 employees selected using simple random sampling based on the Issac and Michael table. Using a quantitative approach with path analysis, the findings reveal that organizational commitment and employee engagement significantly influence voice behavior, which in turn plays a crucial role in driving organizational change. However, direct effects of commitment and engagement on change were found to be insignificant, emphasizing the mediating role of voice behavior. These results highlight the importance of fostering an open communication culture to facilitate effective transformation. The study contributes to information systems and management literature by demonstrating how digital-era organizations can leverage employee voice to enhance adaptability and innovation. Practical implications suggest that organizations should integrate digital feedback systems to strengthen employee voice and drive sustainable change.

Authors: Carlos Mario Acosta Carrillo
Published: February 2025

People with disabilities are subjects of special protection, not only in accordance with internal regulations, but in accordance with the postulates that govern the international community.

Scrutinizing the FDI Spillovers Model: Do Foreign Firms Motivate Local Firms to Export?
Authors: Yasin Mohammad Zeqi , Purwono Rudi
Published: February 2025

We investigate the impact of foreign direct investment (FDI), particularly through multinational companies (MNCs), on the export behaviour and intensity of local firms. Focusing on the food and beverage subsectors in Indonesia from 2008–2015, we use the Heckman Selection model.We found a significant positive effect of FDI on the decision to export and the level of export intensity among domestic firms. The presence of MNCs in Indonesia appears to encourage local firms to both initiate and increase their export. Moreover, we observe a trend of export persistence, suggesting that firms active in exporting in one year are more likely to continue doing so in the following year. Other variables such as wages, import penetration, firm size, productivity, capital, and the presence of foreign firms were also included, with some influencing the decision to export more than the export intensity. Our findings provide some policy implications, namely for Indonesia’s “Making Indonesia 4.0” strategy in the food and beverages sectors, emphasizing the need for government support and human capital development to maximize the benefits of these spillovers.

Authors: Mashuri Sukma Jumatul Ichsan , Satria Doni
Published: February 2025

Integrasi perekonomian global dalam tiga dekade terakhir telah menyebabkan perubahan siklus bisnis, terutama di negara berkembang yang ekspornya didominasi oleh komoditas primer seperti Indonesia. Negara-negara tersebut rentan dipengaruhi oleh guncangan global yang ditransmisikan melalui guncangan terms of trade. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis pengaruh guncangan terms of trade terhadap dinamika inflasi di Indonesia. Hasil analisis Impluse Response Function (IRF) menunjukkan adanya respons positif dari fluktuasi siklus bisnis yang meliputi neraca perdagangan, pendapatan per kapita, konsumsi, investasi, dan dinamika inflasi terhadap guncangan terms of trade. Namun, hasil analisis Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD) mengindikasikan bahwa guncangan terms of trade tidak memiliki peran signifikan dalam dinamika inflasi di Indonesia. Oleh karena itu, penerapan kebijakan makroprudensial, moneter, dan aliran modal asing tidak menjadi prioritas dalam mengatasi guncangan terms of trade karena tidak berhubunganlangsung dengan dinamika inflasi.

Authors: Manullang Rio Saputra , Simamora Janpatar
Published: February 2025

Harmonizing regional regulations is important to ensure that local regulations do not conflict with national policies and regulations. The focus of this research is the role of the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights in harmonizing Gunung Sitoli City Regional Regulation Number 12 of 2012 concerning the Regional Spatial Plan (RTRW). This research investigates documents through a descriptive qualitative approach to provide an in-depth overview of the harmonization process, the challenges faced, and the impact of policy implementation. The research results show that the North Sumatra Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights is key in aligning regional spatial planning regulations (Perda RTRW) with national regulations. The harmonization process involves a review of substance and technical aspects, the preparation of recommendations, and coordination between local governments and related agencies. However, the research also identified various constraints, such as limited resources and differences in technical interpretation, that affect the effectiveness of harmonization. The effectiveness evaluation shows that the harmonization process successfully improved the alignment of RTRW regional regulations with national policies, although some minor adjustments are needed. The positive impact of this harmonization includes improved coordination between government agencies and a more substantial legal basis for implementing RTRW. The recommendations from this study include improvements in the harmonization process and policy adjustments to address the identified implementation challenges. This research is expected to enhance the understanding of regulatory harmonization mechanisms and improve the effectiveness of spatial planning policies in Gunung Sitoli City through the strategic role of the Regional Office of the Ministry of Law and Human Rights.

Efforts to Prevent Double Voter Data on Election Fairness
Authors: Sitanggang Putri Adila , Sinaga Budiman
Published: February 2025

In a democratic system, regional head elections (Pilkada) are essential pillars of electing leaders and representatives of the people. However, inaccurate voter data in the integrity of elections often causes problems in implementing elections, including double data. Double data not only undermines the principle of fairness but can potentially reduce public trust in democracy. Therefore, election monitoring is essential to maintain the fairness and openness of the voting process. People's constitutional rights are affected by this issue, as they need assistance to report changes in voter data or match unregistered data. According to the election monitoring results, almost all communities in Medan have conducted matching and research (cockpit) properly. However, the issue of double data is still a problem that Bawaslu must monitor again. The author collects information about the 2024 Pilkada from the Election Supervisory Board of Medan City. There is still double data in the community. This research aims to determine how well the cockpit works to avoid double data and how it affects voting and fairness. This research shows that most citizens of Medan City have followed the procedures when conducting cockpit, thus reducing the possibility of double data. Transparency, public trust, and community engagement in the elections also increased. In addition, this monitoring activity also provides suggestions for improving the double data prevention system, including increasing cooperation between election organizers and independent monitors, expanding cockpit socialization to the community, and using artificial intelligence-based technology for automatic detection. Such measures ensure integrity, fairness, and transparency in elections.

ABSTRACT
 
The writing of this article is based on the author's observations of the condition of vocational high schools (SMK), which should ideally excel with more evenly distributed graduate quality to meet the needs of industry and entrepreneurship. This is achieved by discovering more productive solutions within the SMK learning system through strengthening mutually beneficial collaboration between SMK schools as education drivers, the roles of cross-agency entities in local government, higher education institutions, and the industrial sector. The core issues are addressed through nine questions explored using a survey method, and in-depth interviews, and enriched by the author's observations over recent years as an industry practitioner in the SMK environment.

Objetivou-se promover o desenvolvimento social dos produtores leiteiros por meio de assistência técnica realizada em quatro propriedades rurais situadas no Assentamento Nova Amazônia, Boa Vista-RR. Foram realizadas doze visitas técnicas às propriedades rurais para acompanhamento do manejo de ordenha durante o ano de 2022. Foi avaliado o escore de limpeza das vacas em lactação e realizado o diagnóstico de mastite clínica e subclínica, bem como a análise dos parâmetros de qualidade do leite. No primeiro período de visitas, foram encontradas vacas com diagnóstico positivo (64% das vacas) para mastite subclínica em todas as propriedades. Nenhuma das vacas apresentou mastite clínica. Após a primeira visita, os produtores receberam os materiais para uso no manejo sanitário de ordenha, os quais incluíram copo pré-dipping, papel toalha e solução desinfetante. No último período de visitas, observou-se que todas as propriedades permaneceram com o diagnóstico negativo para mastite clínica e a porcentagem de vacas com mastite subclínica reduziu para 7%. Em relação à avaliação de escore de limpeza, houve uma melhoria de 71,54%. As amostras de leite apresentaram uma média de 2,51% de gordura, 3,82% de proteína, 5,74% de lactose e 110.250 cel/ml para contagem de células somáticas no primeiro período de visitas, não havendo grandes mudanças nas amostras coletadas no período final. Por meio da assistência técnica, observou-se uma melhoria nas práticas de manejo que foram inseridos na rotina do produtor, contribuindo para o bom funcionamento da atividade leiteira.

Authors: Taboada Melissa Martínez , Pérez Javier Carballo , Pargas Karina Peña
Published: February 2025

El presente artículo muestra el análisis del proceso productivo de tabacos en formato Short, de una empresa productora de similares en La Habana donde la utilización de técnicas de inteligencia competitiva como el estudio BAFI, el análisis DAFO y el comportamiento de indicadores de producción, unido al Método General de Solución de Problemas, reveló las debilidades y amenazas que afectaban la posición de la empresa en el mercado, identificando la falta de recursos y la planificación deficiente como los causantes fundamentales del incumplimiento de los planes de producción. Siguiendo la filosofía Lean Manufacturing y aplicando técnicas de inteligencia de negocios, como el muestreo del trabajo y la normación se detectaron operaciones que utilizaban más recursos de los necesarios, limitando la capacidad del proceso. La simulación del proceso en el software Arena demostró que la automatización del etiquetado y la reubicación estratégica de los trabajadores aumenta la eficiencia, productividad y el cumplimiento del plan de producción. Este proyecto demostró cómo la inteligencia competitiva, la filosofía Lean y las herramientas de inteligencia de negocios pueden ser utilizadas para identificar y eliminar las ineficiencias en los procesos productivos, mejorando la gestión de recursos y elevando la competitividad en un entorno empresarial desafiante

The circular economy maximizes resource efficiency in a continuous cycle of use and reuse, while reverse logistics manages the collection and recycling of used products by returning them to the value chain instead of throwing them away. Both complement each other by minimizing environmental impact, conserving resources and promoting a more sustainable economy. This work aims to analyze the potential offered by Artificial Intelligence as an innovative approach to Circular Economy strategies within the framework of Reverse Logistics. The method used was the Systematic Review of the Literature. The results obtained were based on the evaluation of key indicators such as the source of supply of materials, gas emissions, consumption and reuse of products, among others, demonstrating that the integration of smart technologies increases the use of recycled materials, reduces CO2 emissions, improves inventory management, maximizes efficiency in the supply chain, minimizes product waste. The application of the work allows companies to identify business opportunities, reduce costs, develop more sustainable products and services and innovate in reverse logistics, allowing them to increase competitiveness, improve environmental impact and encourage environmental conservation.

Abstract: Noble metals hold promises for a variety of biomedical applications due to their unique physical and biochemical properties. To unlock this potential, a significant amount of research has been dedicated to the controlled synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals over the past two decades, with a particular emphasis on the production of Au and Ag nanocrystals with diverse and well-controlled shapes. The successful synthesis of noble-metal nanocrystals with tunable sizes, shapes, and morphologies allows researchers to explore their use in a range of biomedical applications, including contrast enhancement for an array of bioimaging modalities, facilitating stimuli-responsive drug delivery, and functioning as antimicrobial or anticancer agents.
