Actor Network (Study on the Network Basis of Yasir Mahmud's Electability as a Member of the South Sulawesi Provincial DPRD for the 2024-2029 Period)
No full textThis study aims to analyze the basis of actor networks (Actor-Network Theory/ANT) in shaping Yasir Mahmud’s electability as a member of the South Sulawesi Provincial DPRD for the 2024–2029 period. The ANT approach is used to explore the role of human and non-human actors—such as social relations, campaign technology, and local cultural structures—in mediating power dynamics and electoral strategies. This study relies on in-depth interview techniques and documentation as data collection methods, as well as qualitative analysis based on data reduction, presentation, and verification. The results of the study show that strong social networks, cultural closeness to the Bone community, and the use of economic narratives through experience as a fertilizer entrepreneur are the keys to Yasir Mahmud’s success. In addition, a patronage-based approach, local values such as siri’ na pacce, and community empowerment strategies play an important role in building voter loyalty. This study emphasizes that electability in the local context cannot be separated from the complex relations between social, cultural, economic, and technological structures. ANT is a relevant analytical framework for understanding how political agency is formed in a network of mutually constructing networks
Voice Behavior as a Key Driven Organizational Commitment and Employee Involvement Toward Organizational Change
No full textThis study aims to determine and analyze (1) the effect of organizational commitment on organizational change through employee voice behavior and (2) the effect of employee involvement on organizational change through employee voice behavior of the Regional Revenue Agency of the Aru Islands Regency. This study uses a descriptive-quantitative approach with a causal correlation type conducted at the Regional Revenue Agency of the Aru Islands Regency for 2 months, namely April and May 2024. The population used in this study were employees of the Regional Revenue Agency of the Aru Islands Regency, totaling 35 people. The sample is part of the number and characteristics possessed by the population. The sampling method is full sampling. Data were analyzed using path analysis. The results of the study concluded that organizational commitment and employee involvement have a positive and significant effect on voice behavior, which plays an important role in driving organizational change. However, organizational change is not directly influenced by employee commitment and involvement, but rather by the extent to which they dare to voice ideas and opinions. Therefore, organizations need to strengthen voice behavior by creating an environment that supports active participation and innovation so that change can run more effectively
Systemic Capacity Building at the Class IIB Nunukan Correctional Institution in the Implementation of the Prisoner Development Program
No full textCorrectional institutions have a series of obligations to foster prisoners so that they can blend in and become part of society again after their detention period is over. It is hoped that the guidance carried out by the correctional institution can have a positive impact in terms of personality and the independence of prisoners. However, in its implementation, some crucial obstacles still occur, especially in coaching at the Nunukan Class IIB Correctional Institution. Therefore, researchers in this study tried to explore further the problems that occur in the implementation of inmate coaching in the Nunukan class IIB prison, especially from the aspect of systemic capacity building. Systemic capacity building sees a hierarchy in the fulfillment of capacity building components, where the most important components are those that are not physically visible. Systemic capacity building includes tools, skills, staff and infrastructure, structures, systems, and roles. The data were then compiled in qualitative research. Data collection methods include observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data sources consisted of primary and secondary data, while data analysis was carried out using interactive methods. The results of this study indicate that there are still many aspects that need to be addressed by the Nunukan Regency Class IIB Correctional Institution, starting from the short duration of the implementation of coaching and coaching programs that are not varied and not sustainable, lack of coaching personnel, cooperation with stakeholders that are still limited and the absence of special regional regulations that are the basis for maximum cooperation in coaching prisoners
Analysis of Oil Revenues and Their Impact on the Net Budget in the Iraqi Economy for the Period (2004–2020)

When expenditures exceed revenues, the Iraqi economy faces significant challenges. Oil revenues are considered the primary driver of Iraq's economy, but they also pose a significant challenge due to constant fluctuations in oil prices. Iraq relies heavily on these revenues to finance its public budget, which exposes the country to economic risks during periods of falling oil prices. Therefore, it is essential for the state to diversify public revenue sources and improve the management of oil revenues to ensure economic stability and mitigate the negative impacts of oil price fluctuations on the general budget

Determinant of Sustainability Report Quality in the Energy Sector
No full textSustainability reporting has become essential for companies to communicate their social, environmental, and economic impacts to stakeholders. In environmental science, sustainability reporting plays a crucial role in identifying, measuring, and managing the environmental impacts of corporate operations. With increasing attention to climate change, resource depletion, and ecological degradation, companies must be more transparent about managing their environmental impacts. As a significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and natural resource consumption, the energy sector is at the forefront of sustainability efforts. High-quality sustainability reports enable energy companies to demonstrate their commitment to responsible environmental practices, building stakeholder trust, and meeting regulatory and market expectations. Therefore, understanding the factors influencing the quality of sustainability reports in the energy sector is vital for promoting better sustainability practices. The purpose of this study is to identify the characteristics that influence the quality of sustainability reports among energy enterprises listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2018 and 2022. By examining the roles of assurance report, foreign institutional ownership, and sustainability commitment, this research provides insights into how energy companies can improve their sustainability reporting, which can help reduce negative environmental impacts and support long-term sustainability
The Impact of Green Accounting Implementation, Environmental Performance, and Corporate Social Responsibility on Financial Performance and Their Implications for Firm Value: A Case Study of the Energy Sector
No full textThe energy sector, known for its significant environmental impact, plays a crucial role in implementing green accounting and corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices. This study investigates the effects of green accounting (measured by environmental costs), environmental performance (evaluated through the PROPER rating), and CSR (assessed using the CSR Index) on the financial performance of energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2017 to 2021. It also examines the mediating role of firm value. Using secondary data from annual financial and sustainability reports of eleven companies, panel data regression was applied with EViews 12. The results show that green accounting and CSR positively influence financial performance and firm value, while environmental performance does not significantly affect either. This study offers new insights by integrating green accounting, environmental performance, and CSR into a single model to better understand their collective impact on financial performance and firm value in the energy sector
