WORK ENGAGEMENT AND MOTIVATION THROUGH PLANNED BEHAVIOR CONSTRUCTS IN A PRIMATE BREEDING COMPANY.

Reki Candra — 2026-08-19

This study examines whether work engagement strengthens employee work motivation directly or through the psychological mechanisms represented by work attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. The research applied a quantitative explanatory design to a saturated sample of 138 employees of a primate breeding company. Data were collected using a five-point Likert questionnaire and analyzed through Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS 4.0. The measurement model demonstrated satisfactory convergent validity, discriminant validity, and internal consistency. The structural model explained 67.1% of the variance in work motivation. Work engagement did not have a statistically significant direct effect on work motivation; however, it positively affected work attitude, subjective norm, and perceived behavioral control. Each of these constructs positively influenced work motivation. The indirect effects through work attitude, perceived behavioral control, and subjective norm were all significant, with the strongest mediation paths occurring through work attitude and perceived behavioral control. These findings indicate a full mediation pattern in which engagement becomes motivational when employees evaluate their work positively, perceive supportive social expectations, and believe that they possess sufficient control and resources to perform their duties. The study extends the application of planned behavior constructs in human resource management and highlights the need for organizations to combine engagement initiatives with meaningful work design, supportive norms, capability development, autonomy, and adequate work resources.

Cecilia Tan — 2026-08-19

This study examines the effects of employee training, career development, and work discipline on employee performance at PT Kertas Terpadu Batamindo. A quantitative approach with descriptive and associative research designs was employed. Using a saturated sampling technique, all 110 employees occupying operational positions at levels 1-7 were included as respondents. Primary data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, instrument quality tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, t-tests, an F-test, and the coefficient of determination with SPSS version 32. The results indicate that employee training has no significant effect on employee performance (B = -0.017; t = -0.212; p = 0.832). Career development has a positive and significant effect (B = 0.226; t = 2.719; p = 0.008), while work discipline has a positive and significant effect and constitutes the most dominant predictor (B = 0.457; t = 4.647; p < 0.001). Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect employee performance (F = 36.535; p < 0.001), with a coefficient of determination of 0.508. These findings suggest that employee performance is more effectively strengthened through clear career development pathways and consistent work discipline, whereas training programs should be evaluated on the basis of job-specific needs and the extent to which learning outcomes are transferred to the workplace.

Muhammad Yusuf — 2026-08-19

Employee job satisfaction plays a crucial role in improving organizational performance, employee retention, and long-term sustainability. This study aims to examine the effects of career development, organizational climate, and emotional intelligence on employee job satisfaction. A quantitative research approach was employed using a survey method, and the collected data were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that all proposed hypotheses are supported. Career development has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (β = 0.28, t = 2.73), indicating that greater career advancement opportunities increase employee satisfaction. Organizational climate demonstrates the strongest positive influence on job satisfaction (β = 0.41, t = 5.79), suggesting that a supportive and well-structured organizational environment substantially enhances employees' work experiences. Emotional intelligence also has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction (β = 0.32, t = 3.38), highlighting the importance of employees' ability to regulate emotions and adapt to workplace challenges. Among the measurement dimensions, promotion opportunities best represent career development and job satisfaction, organizational structure is the strongest dimension of organizational climate, while self-regulation represents emotional intelligence. These findings imply that organizations should strengthen transparent career development systems, foster a positive organizational climate, and enhance employees' emotional intelligence through continuous development programs to improve job satisfaction. The study contributes to the growing literature on human resource management by providing empirical evidence regarding the combined effects of organizational and individual factors on employee job satisfaction.

Data were collected from 151 respondents selected using the Lemeshow formula and analyzed using multiple linear regression with IBM SPSS after the validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests had been satisfied. The results indicate that e-service quality, live streaming shopping, and flash sale each have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions, with live streaming shopping exerting the strongest influence. Simultaneously, the three variables significantly affect purchase decisions and explain 51.3% of the variance in purchase decisions. These findings demonstrate that reliable digital services, interactive live streaming, and time-limited promotional strategies jointly strengthen consumers' purchase decisions for high-involvement skincare products in e-commerce environments.

IMPLEMENTING THE “ONE WORLD, ONE FAMILY” VALUE AS A MEANS OF STRENGTHENING HARMONY AND TEAMWORK IN THE BUSINESS ENVIRONMENT

Jenalli Jenalli — 2026-08-19

The dynamics of modern organizations, both in the business sector and in educational institutions, are often hampered by internal conflicts and intergenerational gaps within teams. This study aims to explore the implementation of the “One World, One Family” philosophy as a strategy to strengthen harmony in teamwork. Using a descriptive qualitative approach with a case study method at Maitreyawira School in Batam, data were collected from 9 informants through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data validity was tested using source, method, and temporal triangulation techniques. The results indicate that the “One World, One Family” values have been successfully internalized as a “Clan Culture,” transforming professional relationships into deeper emotional bonds. Leadership employs an inverted pyramid model (Servant Leadership) that prioritizes service, thereby creating a high level of psychological safety for team members to communicate openly and collaborate proactively. Furthermore, this value supports the creation of a “Person-Organization Fit” that facilitates adaptation among staff across generations. Although coordination challenges arise during periods of heavy workload, this philosophy has proven effective as a buffer against affective conflict. This study concludes that the internalization of universal values can transform individualistic egos into collective solidarity, serving as a competitive advantage for the organization.

THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL IDENTITY, SOCIAL MEDIA AMPLIFICATION, AND VISUAL AESTHETICS ON CONSPICUOUS CONSUMPTION IN SPORTAINMENT LIFESTYLE AMONG GENERATION Z IN PEKANBARU

David Humala Sitorus — 2026-08-19

This study examines the effects of Social Identity, Social Media Amplification, and Visual Aesthetics on Conspicuous Consumption within the sportainment lifestyle among Generation Z in Pekanbaru. The growing integration of sports and entertainment has shifted consumption from functional purposes toward symbolic and status-oriented behavior, influenced by identity formation, social media exposure, and visual appeal. Using a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 100 Generation Z respondents through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS, including validity, reliability, classical assumption, multiple regression, t-test, and F-test analyses. Results show that Social Identity (β = 0.328; p = 0.001), Social Media Amplification (β = 0.325; p < 0.001), and Visual Aesthetics (β = 0.335; p < 0.001) positively and significantly affect Conspicuous Consumption. Simultaneously, all variables significantly influence consumption behavior (F = 87.614; p < 0.001), explaining 73.2% of the variance (R² = 0.732). Visual Aesthetics is the most dominant factor. These findings highlight the role of identity, digital influence, and visual appeal in shaping Generation Z’s symbolic consumption behavior.

FROM DIGITAL GREEN PROMOTION TO CONSUMER WASTE REDUCTION BEHAVIOR: THE SERIAL MEDIATION ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA ENGAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABLE LIFESTYLE

Triana Ananda Rustam — 2026-08-19

This study examines the effect of digital green promotion on consumer waste reduction behavior through social media engagement and sustainable lifestyle. The study responds to the growing concern that environmental awareness does not always translate into concrete waste-reducing practices, especially in the digital consumption era. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, using an online questionnaire distributed to social media users who had been exposed to green promotion or sustainability-related content. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings show that digital green promotion has a positive and significant effect on social media engagement, sustainable lifestyle, and consumer waste reduction behavior. Social media engagement also positively influences sustainable lifestyle and consumer waste reduction behavior, while sustainable lifestyle significantly contributes to consumer waste reduction behavior. Furthermore, the mediation results indicate that social media engagement mediates the relationship between digital green promotion and sustainable lifestyle, sustainable lifestyle mediates the relationship between social media engagement and consumer waste reduction behavior, and both variables sequentially mediate the relationship between digital green promotion and consumer waste reduction behavior. This study concludes that digital green promotion can encourage waste reduction when it creates interactive engagement and supports sustainable lifestyle adoption.
