Effect of hybrid working on employee engagement
No full textPurpose: During the COVID-19 pandemic, partial homeworking or hybrid working gained popularity among employees and employers across the world. Since then, many organisations continue to implement hybrid working as a high performing work practice (HPWP) to improve employee performance. This study explores the effects of hybrid working on employee work engagement on the scale of the level of energy, work involvement, concentration, and enthusiasm. This study also investigated the factors that influence employee engagement in hybrid work.
Research methodology: Using a cross-sectional study design with snowballing sampling technique, interview data of twenty nine IT employees were collected. Interview data were analysed thematically using NVivo software.
Results: The qualitative analysis of interview data reveals that despite some factors of homeworking that affect work engagement negatively, hybrid working has potentials to improve work engagement through increasing their work and family life balance and reducing commuting exhaustion.
Conclusions: Hybrid working can enhance employee engagement by reducing commuting stress and supporting better work-life balance, particularly in terms of energy and flexibility. However, challenges such as communication barriers and work-family conflicts especially among female employees may hinder its effectiveness. With adequate organizational support and clear structure, hybrid working can serve as a strategic approach to boosting employee engagement.
Limitations: Qualitative analysis of only twenty six sample of only one organization is not sufficient for generalizing. A quantitative analysis using data of broader sample may provide a result generalizable to other types of organizations or regions.
Contribution: This study contributes to the understanding of factors that influence employee work engagement by emphasizing the benefits of hybrid working to improve employee engagement, an important facilitator of higher performance.
Novelty: This research made a comparison between homeworking, onsite working and hybrid working, and explored the factors of different work arrangement that influence employee engagement, an area that has not received enough attention in the existing literature
Strategy to improve human resource performance in construction services companies
No full textPurpose: This study aims to identify factors that influence human resource performance, analyze factors that should be considered most in improving human resource performance, and analyze strategies that can be implemented to improve human resource performance in construction service companies.
Methodology/approach: This study uses a descriptive approach. In general, the methodology used is to combine qualitative research with quantitative research using a case study and a survey approach. The fixed respondent design chosen in this study was the cluster sampling method. The analysis method used in this study is the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP)
Results/findings: This study produced three conclusions: 1. The results of the identification process based on the literature review obtained several factors that were grouped into four criteria: competence, motivation, loyalty aspects, and work discipline, 2. The competency factor must be considered most in improving the performance of human resources in the construction project of high-rise buildings in Bojonegoro is the competency factor, 3. Strategies that can be carried out to improve performance based on competency include adding staff/workers, providing compensation, providing facilities, providing training, and carrying out control.
Limitations: This research was conducted at a construction services company that handles the construction of high-rise buildings in Bojonegoro District, East Java, Indonesia; therefore, the research results need to be developed for larger projects.
Contribution: Academically, the benefit of this research is that it can serve as a reference for managing human resources effectively.
Novelty: This research can provide new insights into strategies to improve human resource performance so that activities can run more smoothly and provide maximum results
The urgency of the existence of a storage house for state confiscated items in the military court environment
No full textPurpose: The Storage House for Confiscated State Goods (Rupbasan) within the Military Court environment is regulated in Article 93 paragraph (1) of Law Number 31 of 1997 concerning Military Courts, which furthermore delegates the TNI Commander to issue a Decree of the TNI Commander regulating Rupbasan within the Military Court environment, but in reality 27 years have passed since this law came into effect until now the Rupbasan within the Military Court environment has not been felt to exist because there has been no Decree of the TNI Commander regulating Rupbasan. This is urgent because Rupbasan is a place designated by law for the storage of confiscated state goods and state looted goods with the aim that these goods are stored properly during the ongoing legal process and can be used as evidence or returned to their owners after the completion of the legal process based on a court decision.
Research Methodology: This research is a normative legal research using comparative law at the Ministry of Law and Human Rights (Kemenkumham) and the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
Conclusions: The conclusion of this study is that there is no specific regulation governing the Rupbasan in the Military Court environment. The absence of this regulation creates a legal vacuum that has an impact on the management of evidence in the Military Court environment which is still carried out by the ranks of the Oditurat. Compared to the Rupbasan under the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the Corruption Eradication Commission, the Military Court appears to be lagging behind in terms of the regulation and implementation of the Rupbasan. The management of confiscated objects in the Ministry of Law and Human Rights and the Corruption Eradication Commission has been regulated in detail through various regulations and standard operating procedures, while the Military Court still faces legal uncertainty in the management of confiscated objects. The creation of legal products in the TNI environment must be guided by the TNI Commander Regulation Number 43 of 2015 concerning the Formation of Legal Products in the Indonesian National Army Environment as amended by the TNI Commander Regulation Number 48 of 2018 concerning Amendments to the Regulation of the Indonesian National Army Commander Number 43 of 2015 concerning the Formation of Legal Products in the National Army Environment

Research methodology: This study uses a qualitative approach with the Regulatory Impact Assessment data analysis technique.
Results: The targeted outputs in this study are the analysis of the impact, costs and benefits of the Badung Regency grant aid policy which can be used as evaluation material for the government in implementing the Badung Regency grant aid policy. The policy recommendation is the second option, which is to improve the grant selection and reporting process. This option provides a balance between increasing policy effectiveness and implementation risk, and supports the needs of Badung Regency to ensure more optimal and transparent policy benefits
Analysis of the efficiency and effectiveness of the budget for the DPR's aspirational funds in Mimika Regency
No full textPurpose: This study aims to evaluate the efficiency and effectiveness of the DPRD’s aspirational funds (Pokok Pikiran) in Mimika Regency, particularly in enhancing public welfare and assessing whether the use of these funds aligns with regional development priorities.
Research/methodology: The research applies a descriptive quantitative approach using both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to the local community and interviews with stakeholders in the DPRD and local government. Secondary data included budget realization reports and financial documents from 2022 to 2024. The analysis employed ratio-based measurements to determine the levels of effectiveness and efficiency.
Results: The results showed that the average effectiveness of the DPRD's Pokok Pikiran funds reached 95.3%, indicating that the allocated budgets were largely realized. However, the efficiency analysis revealed a declining trend in the proportion of Pokok Pikiran within the direct spending budget from 5.6% in 2022 to 2.89% in 2024 despite increasing overall regional expenditure. Furthermore, many programs, such as housing construction, had limited impact on broader public welfare, raising concerns about the strategic alignment of the funds.
Conclusions: Although the DPRD’s aspirational funds in Mimika Regency were effectively realized, their efficiency in improving public welfare remains low due to limited impact and misaligned priorities. Better targeting and strategic planning are needed to enhance their usefulness.
Limitations: This study is limited by its focus on a single region and a short three-year timeframe. It also does not incorporate a comprehensive impact assessment from beneficiaries, limiting insights into long-term welfare outcomes.
Contribution: This study provides empirical evidence on the fiscal management of legislative aspirational funds and highlights the gap between budget execution and public benefit. It contributes to policy recommendations for improving the prioritization, transparency, and social impact of DPRD fund allocations in decentralized governance settings
Factors inhibiting the promotion of civil servants at the department of education in Mimika Regency
No full textPurpose: This study aims to identify and analyze the factors inhibiting the promotion of civil servants at the Department of Education in Mimika Regency, focusing on structural, bureaucratic, and non-technical barriers that affect the fairness and effectiveness of the promotion process.
Research/methodology: A mixed-methods approach was adopted, combining quantitative data (using descriptive and inferential statistics such as Pearson correlation and ANOVA) and qualitative insights (from semi-structured interviews, FGDs, and thematic analysis). The study involved 74 civil servants sampled from a population of 91 using Slovin’s formula. Data triangulation was conducted to ensure validity across sources and methods.
Results: The findings revealed that complex bureaucracy, unclear implementation of local promotion policies, and inadequate dissemination are the most prominent structural barriers. Non-technical factors such as favoritism, interpersonal relationships, and internal politics also significantly affect promotion outcomes. Competence alone was not a sufficient condition for promotion, as subjective judgments and limited access to professional development programs also played a decisive role.
Conclusions: The promotion of civil servants in the Mimika Education Office is hindered by bureaucratic complexity, unclear policies, and non-technical factors such as favoritism and internal politics. Competence alone is insufficient, as limited training access and unequal opportunities persist. A transparent, merit-based promotion system is urgently needed to improve fairness, motivation, and organizational performance.
Limitations: The study is limited by its localized focus on a single government office, which may not fully represent other regional or institutional contexts. Additionally, data on budgetary allocations and their actual execution were partly unavailable or lacked transparency, limiting financial analysis depth.
Contribution: This study contributes to public sector HR literature by providing empirical evidence on the intersection of bureaucratic processes, social-cultural dynamics, and career development. The findings support policy recommendations for more transparent, merit-based promotion systems and improved access to competency development, particularly in geographically remote regions like Mimika

This analytical approach involves a series of statistical techniques, algorithms, and models to uncover patterns, correlations, and trends within the data.
Results: From the perspective of instructors, industrial training has been noted as a catalyst for enhancing students' proficiency in both formal and informal communication, aiding them in identifying suitable research areas for their projects and honing their abilities in socialization and relationship-building.
Limitations: The applicable and functional setting for the findings of this study lies within the realm of educational settings.
Contribution: Our conclusions highlight the pivotal role of industrial training in enhancing students' abilities and knowledge following their training programs. We advocate recognizing industrial training as a valuable instrument for augmenting employees' skills and capabilities
Rohingya refugees and its impact on informal economy: Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh
No full textPurpose: The purpose of this study is to determine whether refugees in Cox's Bazar area of Bangladesh can successfully integrate into the informal economic sector. This evaluation was carried out by comparing the actions of refugees in the labor market with those of the local population.
Research methodology: This study used survey data from two population groupings. The sample size included 300 Rohingya refugees and 300 locals from Coxs' Bazar, where they are now living. ANOVA was employed to compare the category mean differences owing to the limited sample size. The calculations would include wealth, occupation, language, religion, and race as labor market barriers.
Results: The data indicated significant disparities in both types of occupations and monthly incomes between local workers and refugee workers. Furthermore, the findings also suggest that Rohingya refugees encounter greater challenges when entering the job market than local workers.
Limitations: Refugees in Bangladesh are unable to work. They must stay at local and international NGO (Ministry of Foreign Affairs 2014). No Bangladeshi labor legislation has protected them. Bangladeshi authorities can also imprison refugees on illicit travel. A good Rohingya refugee policy in Bangladesh is crucial to human rights.
Contribution: The Rohingya Muslim population in Myanmar has been subjected to genocide, resulting in their expulsion and subsequent migration to neighboring countries. Bangladesh is the primary host nation for the Rohingya group from Myanmar, which has sought safety there as refugees for many years. Due to their lack of legal employment opportunities in Bangladesh, these refugees engage in informal economic operations and participate in various criminal activities inside the place where they reside
