Negotiating Boundaries: Lived Experiences of Work-Life Balance among Hybrid Workers in the Digital Age
The transformation of work systems towards a hybrid model has fundamentally changed the psychological dynamics of balancing professional demands and personal life in the digital age, especially in urban communities. This study explores how eight hybrid workers negotiate the boundaries between work and personal space, build emotional balance, and shape their professional identity amid digital flexibility and pressure. Using an interpretive phenomenological qualitative approach, informants from the education, technology, and public administration sectors in Yogyakarta were interviewed in depth to uncover the subjective meaning of their daily experiences. Reflective thematic analysis reveals three main contexts: the separation of work and personal spheres is now psychological in nature; adaptive strategies such as self-regulation and emotional resilience overcome digital fatigue; and the formation of professional identity is performative through dynamic digital interactions. These findings expand the literature on work-life interface and psychological work identity with a non-Western perspective, emphasizing the role of culture, digital autonomy, and emotional support in maintaining psychological well-being. Practically, this research highlights the need for adaptive and psychologically balanced organizational policies, affirming that work-life balance in the hybrid era is a continuous negotiation process between space, time, and the evolving meaning of self
Transformasi BUMG Maju Jaya Berbasis Modal Sosial, Gampong Peunaga Pasi, Aceh Barat
Gampong-Owned Enterprises (BUMG) are expected to become economic institutions that lead to gampong independence through community empowerment. However, the condition of the development of BUMG is far from the government's expectations. This study aims to analyze the role of social capital in the management of BUMG Maju Jaya. This study uses a qualitative method with a case study approach. The results of this study illustrate that the success of BUMG Maju Jaya is not only determined by financial capital, but also by the strength of social capital that is integrated in three main dimensions, namely bonding social capital (internal solidarity), bridging social capital (networks between groups), and linking social capital (access to external resources). Social capital plays a key catalyst that drives active community participation, builds trust in BUMG managers, and strengthens internal and external social networks. Social capital has transformed BUMG from a mere business entity to a social-based economic institution that empowers the community. The results of this research are expected to be a reference for other BUMG managers in reviving gampong economic institutions
Participatory Leadership by School Principals in Enhancing the Quality of Education
This analysis synthesizes scholarly literature to explore the significant link between participatory leadership enacted by school principals and the enhancement of educational quality. Participatory leadership, characterized by the distribution of control in decision-making, emerges as a unifying framework for fostering positive change within schools. The analysis reveals that this leadership style cultivates a supportive, collaborative, and inclusive environment, valuing the contributions of all stakeholders. Key dimensions of enhanced educational quality include teacher empowerment and effectiveness, the development of trust-based school climates, the promotion of innovation and adaptability, and the improvement of student engagement and achievement. By actively involving teachers, staff, and students in decision-making processes, participatory leadership creates a positive feedback loop that benefits the entire school community and aligns with established leadership theories emphasizing empowerment and collective intelligence. While challenges to implementation exist, the literature underscores the potential of participatory leadership to drive meaningful improvements in education
Pertumbuhan dan Hasil Padi Gogo (Oryza sativa L.) Pada Medium Podsolik (Ultisol) dengan Pemberian Kompos Solid dan Fly Ash Batu Bara
This research was conducted with the aim of studying the effect of the interaction of solid compost with coal fly ash and each treatment, as well as to obtain the best dose in increasing the growth and yield of upland rice plants (Oryza sativa L.) on Podsolic medium (Ultisol). The study used an experimental method with a completely randomized design (CRD) factorial of two factors, namely the provision of solid compost (0; 2.5; 5; and 7.5 t.ha-¹) and coal fly ash (0; 3; and 6 t.ha-¹) so that 12 treatment combinations were obtained with three replications, totaling 36 experimental units. The soil used was Ultisol soil from Batu Belah Village, Kampar. Observations included growth parameters and yields of upland rice plants of the Inpago 12 variety which included: plant height, maximum and productive number of tillers, panicle emergence age, harvest age, number and percentage of full grain, weight of 1,000 full grain grains, and weight of dry milled grain per clump. The research data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and continued with the Duncan Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at the 5% level. The study showed that there was no interaction between solid compost and coal fly ash on the growth and yield of upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) on Podsolic soil (Ultisol). Solid compost significantly affected several parameters such as plant height, panicle emergence age, harvest age, percentage of full grain, weight of 1000 full grain grains, and weight of dry milled grain per clump with the best dose of 5 t.ha-¹. On the other hand, coal fly ash did not show any significant effect on all observed parameters. Therefore, solid compost at a dose of 5 t.ha-¹ is recommended to increase the growth and yield of upland rice variety Inpago 12 on Podsolic soil (Ultisol).
Normalizing Psychological Pressure in Hustle Culture: Transforming Work Identity and Pursuing Constant Productivity in the Digital Economy
This study analyzes how the normalization of productivity pressure in hustle culture is shaped through the glorification of non-stop work, the internalization of the neoliberal ethos of self-optimization, and the construction of identities based on digital performativity in the platform economy ecosystem. Using a qualitative approach through digital ethnography and critical discourse analysis (CDA), this study examines media representations, digital motivational content, displayed productivity practices, and assessment mechanisms in gig platforms using naturally occurring data from international media, social media, and other digital materials. The findings of this study show that extreme productivity is positioned as a new moral standard, indicating that individuals are encouraged to manage risk, self-discipline, and work performance as personal responsibilities. This study concludes that the professional identity of the younger generation is shaped through the visualization of work activities, platform ratings, and comparative narratives that link self-worth to displayed performance. This study provides a theoretical contribution by formulating a framework on the relationship between the discourse of productivity, internalization processes, and the performativity of identity in the digital economy, as well as offering practical implications for policy design and a more sustainable work ecosystem to reduce culturally legitimized productivity pressure
Trends and Thematic Evolution in Digital Policy Research: A Bibliometric Analysis
This study presents a bibliometric analysis of digital policy research, evaluating its thematic evolution and theoretical underpinnings across international journals. Utilizing the Scopus search engine, the research identifies and classifies digital policy publications from 2013 to 2023, and VOSviewer software was employed to visualize trends, network linkages, and information production. The findings indicate a notable lack of theory-driven research in the digital policy domain, with a majority of studies focusing on empirical or applied aspects rather than foundational theory. This gap is particularly pronounced in areas like cybersecurity, data privacy, and digital governance. Additionally, the study reveals that interdisciplinary journals contribute more to theory-based digital policy research than specialized publications. The research calls for greater integration of theoretical frameworks in digital policy studies to address global digital challenges better. It highlights the need for scholars to explicitly link their work to theory, thus enriching policy development and offering more comprehensive solutions to emerging technological issues. Failure to incorporate theory consistently represents a missed opportunity to influence the broader discourse on digital governance and policy making
