Stakeholder Theory and ESG in the Energy Sector: Trends and Insights from Recent Research
No full textIn recent years, environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues have significantly impacted both the profitability and financial sustainability of companies in the energy sector. As global awareness of environmental and governance issues continues to rise, energy companies are progressively adopting more ecologically conscious asset allocation strategies to align with stakeholder expectations and regulatory pressures. This study undertakes a systematic literature review over five years, utilizing SCISPACE to facilitate the identification and analysis of research related to ESG. Employing critical discourse analysis, the study investigates the relevance of stakeholder theory as a foundational framework for assessing corporate performance in ESG implementation. The research aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how stakeholder theory can contribute to improving ESG practices in energy companies, while also evaluating whether its continued prominence in research is well-founded or simply a replication of existing studies
Prosocial Behavior of Special Education Teachers: A Case Study in Assisting Special Needs Children in Puberty Age with a Different Gender
No full textPuberty is a transition phase from childhood to adolescence that causes various changes in individuals, including those with special needs. These changes cause discomfort for special education teachers when assisting students with special needs of different genders during puberty. It causes special education teachers to be unable to provide maximum assistance. This study aimed to explore the prosocial behavior of special education teachers who assist students with special needs of different genders during puberty and to determine the factors that influence this behavior. This qualitative study used a case study model with observation and semi-structured interview data collection methods. Four subjects in this study were selected through purposive sampling techniques. Data were analyzed using six-step thematic analysis techniques, and validity was tested through data triangulation and interpretative methods. The study found that the prosocial behavior of special education teachers in assisting students with special needs is demonstrated in four aspects. The sharing aspect carried out by teachers is reflected in classroom learning activities. The four participants showed the aspects of caring and empathy in different ways according to the characteristics and challenges of the children. Meanwhile, helping behavior focuses on nonacademic assistance, such as assisting with toilet training and preventing inappropriate sexual behavior, such as masturbation at school and touching the chest and genital area of the opposite sex. Factors influencing this prosocial behavior include special interests, gender relations, competence of children with special needs, age, physical fitness, and social meaning

Leveraging Collaborative Governance Framework for Sustainable Stunting Reduction: An Analysis of Cross-sector Collaboration in Kabupaten Sidenreng Rappang, Indonesia
No full textStunting remains a critical public health challenge in Indonesia, particularly in Kabupaten Sidrap, where prevalence rates persist despite local government’s concerted efforts. This study aims to analyze cross-sector collaboration practices in stunting reduction using Emerson and Nabatchi’s collaborative governance framework. Employing a qualitative-descriptive approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews with key stakeholders, document analysis, and thematic analysis using Nvivo-12 application. Findings reveal that Kabupaten Sidrap has established a formal collaborative structure through the Tim Percepatan Penurunan Stunting (TPPS), coordinated primarily by Bappeda, with active involvement from health, family planning, education, social services, and livestock agencies. However, collaboration remains predominantly administrative, hindered by sectoral ego, limited cross-sectoral communication, inadequate data integration, and constrained budget allocation. Additionally, involvement from the private sector is minimal despite significant potential for corporate social responsibility (CSR) contributions from local industries, including egg and rice producers. Socio-cultural and economic factors exacerbate stunting risks, particularly through early marriages, traditional practices restricting early health interventions, and persistent structural poverty. Stakeholders propose enhancing collaboration through robust data integration, strengthened regulatory frameworks, improved inter-agency communication, active private sector engagement, and revitalized community-based health interventions, such as school health units (UKS) and nutrition houses (rumah gizi). This research underscores the necessity of integrating Emerson and Nabatchi’s collaborative governance principles, emphasizing principled engagement, shared motivation, and joint action capacity, to achieve sustainable stunting reduction. Policy implications highlight the need for strategic leadership, operational regulatory improvements, and comprehensive stakeholder inclusion to overcome implementation barriers and effectively address stunting in Kabupaten Sidrap
Implementation of the Policy on Protecting Women and Children from Violence After the Earthquake, Tsunami, and Liquefaction in Palu City
No full textThis article aims to analyze the implementation of Central Sulawesi Provincial Regulation Number 3 of 2019 concerning the implementation of protection of women and children from violence after the earthquake, tsunami, and liquefaction of September 28th, 2018 in Palu City. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, this study refers to the Van Meter and Van Horn implementation model with six variables, namely policy standards and targets, resources, characteristics of implementing organizations, inter-organizational communication, implementer disposition, and social, economic, and political environments. A total of 15 informants were determined purposively with the criteria of being involved in the preparation of Central Sulawesi Provincial Regulation Number 3 of 2019, involved in victim recovery, and representing the pentahelix of informants (local government, community, mass media, business actors, and academics). Data were collected in January-December 2024 through in-depth interviews, observations, and analysis of documents related to the policy. The results of the study show that Central Sulawesi Provincial Regulation Number 3 of 2019 is an important instrument in protecting women and children from post-disaster violence. However, its implementation in Palu City has not been optimal due to weak socialization, limited resources, the absence of a women and children protection UPTD in the city, and the absence of comprehensive and integrated Standard Operating Procedure (SOPs). Short-term handling priorities include socialization, basic training, activation of integrated SOPs, and establishing cross-sector coordination forums. Medium-long term strategies include the establishment of a Regional Technical Implementation Unit for the Protection of Women and Children (PPA UPTD) in the city, incentive-based human resource strengthening, partnerships with non-governmental institutions, and periodic monitoring and evaluation
Communication in Collaborative Leadership in the Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility Forum in Wajo Regency
No full textThis study aims to thoroughly examine the role of communication in building and strengthening collaborative leadership within the Corporate Social and Environmental Responsibility Forum (TJSLP) of Wajo Regency. The TJSLP Forum serves as a strategic platform that brings together stakeholders from government, private sector, and community organizations to collaborate in designing and implementing social and environmental programs. Using a qualitative approach and case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of official forum documents. The findings indicate that effective, participatory, and transparent communication plays a crucial role in building trust, enhancing stakeholder engagement, and improving the effectiveness of collaborative leadership. Communication within the forum is conducted through open dialogues, deliberations to achieve consensus, and equitable sharing of information and resources. Identified challenges include differences in interests, information asymmetry, and limited communication capacities among actors. Nevertheless, the application of adaptive communication strategies and the strengthening of interpersonal capacities have successfully minimized potential conflicts and fostered mutual understanding. This study asserts that collaborative leadership based on strategic communication is a key factor in supporting the successful implementation of TJSLP programs at the regional level. The implications of these findings are significant not only for the management of TJSLP, but also contribute conceptually to the development of collaborative leadership theory in the context of sustainable development governance

Integrating Pancasila Values into Environmental Law: A Green Constitutional Approach for Sustainable Development, Human Rights, and Climate Resilience in Indonesia
No full textThis study aims to comprehensively analyze the urgency and integration model of Pancasila values in the concept of green constitution and environmental law in order to realize a sustainable and just green economy in Indonesia. In the midst of a global and national environmental crisis that threatens sustainable development and human values, a firm legal foundation is needed and rooted in the nation’s philosophy. The research method used is normative juridical with a special emphasis on philosophical analysis to explore the relevance of Pancasila values, supported by legislative and conceptual approaches. The results of the analysis show that the 1945 Constitution, especially Article 28H paragraph (1) and Article 33 paragraph (3) & (4), has the potential as a green constitution with the spirit of Pancasila, which mandates environmental protection and natural resource management for the greatest possible prosperity of the people in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner. The implementation of the principles of sustainability in Law No. 32 of 2009 concerning Environmental Protection and Management (PPLH Law) and other sectoral regulations needs to be strengthened and harmonized to overcome the potential for disharmony with regulations that are still exploitatively oriented. Furthermore, environmental law based on the green constitution and Pancasila values plays a central role in ensuring that the realization of the green economy runs in line with the principles of environmental justice, including distributive justice, procedural, and intergenerational and intragenerational justice. This study concludes that the internalization of Pancasila values—godliness, humanity, unity, peoplehood, and social justice—in every aspect of environmental law and policy is a prerequisite for achieving green development that is not only ecologically and economically effective, but also just, inclusive, and reflects the identity of the Indonesian nation
Ecosystem Damage to Rivers and Seas in Papua due to Industrial Waste and Mining: An Environmental Study in Mimika Regency
No full textAmidst rapid urbanization and land conversion in the Jabodetabek region, green open spaces such as city parks and urban forests play a crucial role in maintaining ecological balance and preserving biodiversity. This study aims to examine the potential, challenges, and conservation efforts for biodiversity in two urban green spaces: Srengseng Urban Forest and Suropati Park. Through a qualitative descriptive approach with case studies, it was found that both locations still function as habitats for various flora and fauna species and possess significant socio-educational value. However, threats such as habitat fragmentation, development pressure, pollution, and weak governance are major obstacles to biodiversity conservation. The lack of conservation integration in spatial planning, insufficient community participation, and low ecological literacy further exacerbate these conditions. Therefore, a holistic prevention strategy is needed through ecology-based green space planning, strengthening inter-agency coordination, environmental education, and collaboration with academics and local communities. This study emphasizes the importance of making parks and urban forests natural laboratories and centers for sustainable conservation amid the pressures of metropolitan urbanisation
