Legal Deconstruction of Digital Consumer Protection through the Potential Implementation of Data Portability Principles in Indonesia
Full text linkThis research analyzes the effectiveness of legal protection for consumers in digital business transactions in Indonesia through the principle of data portability, focusing on the financial technology and electronic commerce sectors. Indonesia ranks thirteenth globally in data breaches, with around 156.8 million personal data records leaked from 2004 to April 2024. Since 2017, the Financial Services Authority has closed more than eleven thousand illegal financial entities, many of which misused consumer data. These problems show the urgent need for stronger rules to give consumers better control over their personal information. The study aims to examine how the principle of data portability is applied in practice and how the Consumer Protection Law and the Personal Data Protection Law can work together to create a safer digital environment. It uses a normative juridical method with statutory, comparative, and case study approaches. The findings reveal that most businesses lack proper systems for data transfer and have not reached international standards. The main obstacles are the absence of clear technical guidelines, limited supervision resources, and low awareness among companies. In conclusion, stronger government regulations, better infrastructure, multi-stakeholder support, and public education are needed to make data portability a real tool for protecting digital consumers and building trust in Indonesia’s growing digital economy
Violation of the Constitutional Rights of the Ahmadiyah Manis Lor Congregation in the Perspective of Freedom of Religion
Full text linkThis study examines violations of the constitutional rights of the Indonesian Ahmadiyya Congregation (JAI) in Manis Lor, Kuningan, particularly in terms of administrative aspects of marriage and freedom of religion. The main issues are restrictions on religious activities and obstacles to marriage registration, which result in discrimination against the basic rights of the congregation. These violations range from restrictions on activities, intolerance in the form of rejection by civil society, and human rights violations in the form of government intervention. The research used a normative legal method with a legislative and conceptual approach, looking at empirical facts in the field, as well as John Rawls' analysis of justice as fairness to assess the principles of equality and legal justice. The results of the study show that regional policies such as Kuningan Regent Decree No. 451.7/KEP.58-Pem. Um/2004 and Circular Letter No. 300/477-Kesbangpol/2005, and West Java Governor Regulation No. 12 of 201, Letter No. 200.1.4.3/4697/BKBP and Letter No. 200.1.4.3/4666/ BKBP prohibiting and restricting Ahmadiyah activities that contradict Article 27 paragraph (1), Article 28D paragraph (1), Article 28E paragraphs (1)-(2), and Article 29 paragraph (2) of the 1945 Constitution, which guarantee freedom of religion and equality before the law. Therefore, the Supreme Court and the Administrative Court (PTUN) as judicial institutions under its authority must revoke and annul the regulation. The study recommends the revocation of this discriminatory policy and the harmonization of local regulations with the 1945 Constitution and Law No. 39 of 1999 on Human Rights, so that the principles of constitutional justice and freedom of religion can be realized in Kuningan Regenc
Tinjauan Yuridis Hukuman Disiplin Bagi Pegawai Negeri Sipil Yang Menerima Gratifikasi
Full text linkThe capacity to adhere to duties and stay clear of restrictions outlined in statutory regulations is known as civil servant discipline. Accepting gifts associated with their position, such as gratuities, is prohibited for civil officers. Civil servant penalties will be imposed on civil servants who break the restrictions as stipulated in the statute. Utilising secondary data sources and qualitative analysis methodologies, the study employed the normative juridical research method. The findings demonstrated that federal servants would face disciplinary action if they accepted gifts or gratuities associated with their position. Everyone would face harsh disciplinary action, including dishonourable discharge, if it were established that you had broken the rules
The Mediating Role of Financial Management in the Relationship Between Financial Literacy, Income, Lifestyle, and Investment Decisions
Full text linkThis study examines the role of financial management as a mediating variable in the relationship between financial literacy, income, lifestyle, and investment decisions. Grounded in financial literacy theory, personal financial management theory, and behavioral finance, the research proposes and empirically tests a conceptual model using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from all 155 employees of the Smart City & Community Innovation Center (SCCIC) using a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. The results reveal that financial literacy and income do not have a direct effect on investment decisions; however, both variables significantly influence financial management. Financial management, in turn, has a very strong and significant effect on investment decisions and fully mediates the relationships between financial literacy and investment decisions, as well as between income and investment decisions. Conversely, lifestyle shows no significant direct or indirect effect on either financial management or investment decisions. The model demonstrates strong explanatory power, with an R² value of 0.924 for investment decisions and a Goodness of Fit (GOF) index of 0.571. These findings highlight financial management as the key mechanism through which financial knowledge and financial resources are transformed into effective investment behavior. The study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the central role of financial management in investment decision-making within a professional organizational context and offers practical implications for financial education and organizational financial capability development
Perlindungan Hukum Terhadap Praktik Kedokteran Gigi di Indonesia: Studi Kasus Terhadap Tanggung Jawab Profesional
Full text linkThe legal protection of dental practice in Indonesia remains a critical issue due to significant gaps in regulation, implementation, and law enforcement. This study explores weaknesses in existing legal frameworks, focusing on the insufficient specificity of Law No. 29 of 2004 regarding dental procedures requiring specialized skills. The lack of detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) exacerbates these gaps, creating uncertainty for both patients and practitioners. Factors such as limited understanding of legal and ethical standards among dentists, inadequate oversight mechanisms, and challenges posed by the digital age, including the rise of illegal dental practices via social media, further compound the issue. Through normative legal analysis and case studies, including Supreme Court Decision 557 PK/Pdt/2017, this research highlights the pressing need for regulatory reform and enhanced law enforcement. Recommendations include revising existing laws to incorporate clearer guidelines for dental practices, ongoing education for practitioners and the public, and integrating technology into monitoring and reporting systems. These measures aim to create a safer and more professional dental healthcare system, ensuring justice and legal certainty for all stakeholders
Job Demands, Relational Resources and Job Satisfaction: The Mediating Role of Self Efficacy
Full text linkThis research investigates employee well-being from an organisational behaviour perspective by examining the impact of job demands and relational resources within educational organisations. It focuses on teachers working in faith-based schools in Java, Indonesia, where strong relational norms, value-based interactions, and close leaders’ member relationships shape everyday work experiences. Specifically, it examines the relationships among work overload, respectful student behaviour, principal support, and teachers’ job satisfaction, with self-efficacy positioned as a mediating psychological mechanism. A quantitative survey was used. Data were collected from 298 teachers across 25 faith-based schools and analysed using PLS-SEM. The findings indicate that work overload is negatively associated with job satisfaction, while respectful student behaviour and principal support are positively associated with job satisfaction. The results further show that self-efficacy mediates the effects of work overload, respectful student behaviour, and principal support on job satisfaction, suggesting that self-efficacy functions as an important psychological resource in managing high work demands and strengthening the benefits of supportive relational environments. Overall, this study highlights the importance of relational resources in sustaining teacher job satisfaction in educational settings and contributes to organisational behaviour and educational management literature by clarifying the mediating role of self-efficacy in the Indonesian faith-based school context
Understanding Muzakki Loyalty in Eastern Indonesia: The Role of Sharia Governance, Religiosity, and Satisfaction
Full text linkThis study investigates the determinants of Muzakki loyalty by developing an integrated model that incorporates sharia governance, trust, religiosity, satisfaction, and willingness to pay more. The research focuses on Muzakki who pay zakat through the National Zakat Board (Baznas) in Central Maluku Regency, Ambon City, and Buru Regency. Using a quantitative approach, the study employs Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to analyze data obtained from 172 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that sharia governance strengthens Muzakki trust, religiosity enhances satisfaction, and satisfaction plays a central role in driving loyalty. The results suggest that improving transparency, accountability, and sharia compliance can reinforce trust and overall satisfaction. Enhancing service quality and nurturing religious commitment are equally important to cultivate stronger loyalty. This study highlights the strategic importance of robust sharia governance and service excellence in sustaining long-term Muzakki engagement in zakat management across Maluku Province

Pembaharuan Mekanisme Eksekusi Putusan Peradilan Tata Usaha Negara Melalui Revitalisasi Khususnya Peran Kejaksaan
Full text linkThe implementation of the TUN Decision which has Permanent Legal Force (BHT) becomes a "toothless tiger" because it is not implemented by the losing party, in this case the "Defendant" (TUN Officials), resulting in the authority of the TUN Decision (TUN Judiciary) being lowered. In this regard, there are several factors that cause the implementation of decisions that have permanent legal force (BHT) cannot be executed/implemented, including: 1). The person who is the executor of the implementation of the TUN Decision which has Permanent Legal Force (BHT) is the Defendant himself, where the Defendant should be willing to implement the TUN Decision which has BHT. 2). The problem of dwangsom (forced money) which is only around Rp. 250,000,- up to Rp. 5,000,000,-., who should be charged to whom? 3). Lack of awareness of public officials as defendants in complying with legal regulations or complying with the judge's decision in order to create justice and legal harmony. 4). There is no special executorial institution or sanctioning institution whose function is to implement decisions, because the problem of non-compliance with PTUN decisions and/or determinations lies not only in unclear regulations or the absence of implementing rules regarding coercive measures, but also in which institution is supposed to ensure implementation of the decision. Another thing in criminal law is that the executor or institution that is authoritative for the implementation of judicial decisions for criminal cases is clear and firm, namely the Prosecutor's Office (in this case Jampidsus/Junior Attorney General for Special Crimes), while for civil cases, namely the Court Bailiff/Junior Attorney General for Civil Affairs. and State Administration (Jam Datun)
Legal Protection of Health Workers and its Implications for Service Quality and Patient Satisfaction
Full text linkViolence, legal threats, and professional risks faced by healthcare workers in Indonesia remain a concern despite the existence of statutory legal protections. Law Number 17 of 2023 on Health and Law Number 36 of 2014 on Health Workers normatively guarantee legal protection for healthcare personnel, however, empirical studies examining how such protection influences service performance and patient satisfaction are still limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between legal protection for healthcare workers, service quality, and patient satisfaction at Dr. Achmad Mochtar Bukittinggi Regional General Hospital, with a focus on the mediating role of service quality. The study employs a normative–empirical (socio-legal) research design using a quantitative correlational approach. Data were collected through structured questionnaires from 238 healthcare workers and 800 patients and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, multiple regression, and mediation analysis. The results show that legal protection is perceived as fairly good, service quality as good, and patient satisfaction as high. Legal protection has a significant positive relationship with service quality, while service quality strongly influences patient satisfaction and mediates the effect of legal protection. The study concludes that effective implementation of legal protection contributes indirectly to patient satisfaction by improving service quality
