Work Motivation and Incentives on Employee Performance in Indonesian Hotels: A Systematic Literature Review
No full textThis study aims to investigate the relationship between work motivation, incentives, and employee performance in the hospitality industry, as well as how these factors interact within the context of Indonesian work culture. The method employed is a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), which involves data collection from various journals and articles published between 2016 and 2025. Selection is based on relevance to the hospitality sector, focusing on the relationship between motivation, incentives, and employee performance. The results of the study indicate that work motivation plays a central role as a mediator between independence, training, and leadership style, influencing employee performance. Non-monetary incentives have been proven more effective in increasing employee engagement than financial incentives alone. Additionally, a positive organizational culture, strong work discipline, and employee recognition also significantly contribute to increased motivation and performance. Transformational leadership consistently increases motivation and job satisfaction, which in turn has a positive impact on performance. In conclusion, a holistic and contextual approach to human resource management is essential for optimizing employee performance in the hospitality industry. Suggestions for further research include longitudinal studies and more comprehensive development models, as well as the implementation of adaptive incentive and leadership strategies according to employee needs

Good Governance in the Implementation of Presidential Regulation No. 55/2023 on RANHAM: Implications for Social Resilience
No full textThis study aims to evaluate the application of sound governance principles in the implementation of Presidential Regulation Number 55 of 2023 concerning the National Action Plan for Human Rights (RANHAM) and examine its implications for community social resilience. The principles of good governance—including participation, transparency, accountability, effectiveness, and the rule of law—are considered essential indicators in realizing inclusive and impactful human rights policy governance. This study uses an empirical juridical method, with a normative approach to regulation and an empirical approach to its implementation practices in the field. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of good governance in RANHAM has shown progress, particularly in increasing access to information, civil society involvement, and public oversight mechanisms. However, obstacles remain, such as the limited capacity of regional implementers, low human rights literacy among grassroots communities, and a suboptimal data-based monitoring and evaluation system. In general, the implementation of RANHAM based on good governance has had a positive impact on strengthening community social resilience, particularly through increasing awareness of citizens’ rights and obligations, strengthening the role of local institutions, and growing public trust in the government. However, institutional strengthening and more inclusive implementation strategies are still urgently needed to ensure the sustainability and effectiveness of policies
Generation Z and Generative AI: General Challenges and Alternative Solutions in History Education Under Post-digital Conditions
No full textDigital technologies, particularly the internet and artificial intelligence (A), have become indispensable instruments in contemporary life, especially for Generation Z. However, this condition not only brings positive impacts but also several threatening challenges, most notably within the sphere of education. History education faces one of the most critical challenges, so the fundamental question arises: whether it is still necessary to learn history if the past can be easily known through the internet? Therefore, this study aimed to explore the various characteristics of Generation Z and their dependence on generative AI, while also offering several alternative solutions to overcome the challenges in learning history under post-digital conditions. Through mixed-methods research, this study used various students’ tasks to be analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that many students at both secondary school and university levels use AI to complete their tasks. From those findings, this study offers alternative solutions to the history learning strategy. First, history educators must assign students to answer a question that cannot be answered simply by reading books or searching the internet. This question should be in the form of a prompting question that makes them think critically and reflectively. Second, students can be encouraged to answer these questions through oral history to explore the personal experiences of historical actors, witnesses, and their families or relatives. Third, the oral history assignments by students can use digital equipment that they usually use, such as the camera and voice recorder features on their smartphones
Potential Resilience Along With Family Communication: The Rise of Female Entrepreneur
No full textThe contribution of women in advancing national life is undeniably significant. In fact, women not only play roles in the domestic sector but are also often seen taking on dual roles, contributing to the family’s economic improvement. This study aims to understand the motivation of female entrepreneurs in starting their businesses and how they develop them over time. The research utilizes a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach to explore the experiences of women entrepreneurs in MSMEs. Data collection was conducted through nonparticipant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation with a female informant who owns a culinary business producing creative economic tourism products, baso aci, from Garut Regency. The results show that the strongest motivation for women in MSMEs is economic motivation. This economic motivation strengthens the informant’s desire to improve her credibility and reputation within her social environment due to her family’s financial issues. In the process, she discovered her passion for entrepreneurship, driving her to be creative and innovative through baso aci, a traditional Sundanese snack, aiming to make it a valuable creative tourism product with economic potential. Her business expanded to various regions across Indonesia and even internationally, leading to improved family welfare and the restoration of her social credibility. The resilience of female MSME entrepreneurs has significantly motivated the informant to elevate her family’s standard of living and well-being
Indonesia's Environmental Policy in the Dynamics of Global Political Economy
No full textIndonesia faces serious challenges related to climate change, deforestation, and sustainable natural resource management. Dependence on extractive and agricultural sectors, which often overlook environmental considerations, adds pressure on ecosystems. This situation highlights the need for environmental policies by the Indonesian government that can balance economic growth with ecological sustainability, efforts that are often hindered by conflicting political and economic interests. This article explores how Indonesia’s environmental policies align with global trends, such as climate change, carbon trading, and international environmental agreements. The study also examines the impact of domestic political dynamics on the implementation of environmental policies. Moreover, the role of nonstate actors, such as nongovernmental organizations and local communities, is becoming increasingly significant in advancing the environmental agenda. Through data analysis and case studies, this article concludes that collaboration among the government, civil society, and the private sector is essential for achieving sustainability goals and enhancing Indonesia’s competitiveness on the global stage. Furthermore, policy recommendations are suggested to improve the effectiveness and integration of environmental policies in the national development agenda, including the need for strengthened regulations and incentives for sustainable practices
Diabetes and male infertility: A review of sperm chromatin damage and epigenetic effects
No full textDiabetes mellitus (DM) is a global health concern impacting male fertility through detrimental effects on sperm chromatin structure and DNA integrity. This review discusses how DM impairs spermatogenesis, primarily through the induction of oxidative stress, which can result in significant DNA fragmentation and compromised chromatin integrity in spermatozoa. We examine evidence suggesting that even men with seemingly normal semen parameters might exhibit hidden sperm DNA damage if diabetic. The reviewed literature consistently reports elevated sperm DNA fragmentation indices and increased susceptibility to denaturation in diabetic men compared to healthy controls. Furthermore, the potential for paternal diabetes to influence offspring health through epigenetic modifications in sperm DNA is discussed. Studies in animal models and human subjects indicate alterations in sperm DNA methylation patterns and microRNA content, suggesting a plausible mechanism for the transgenerational transmission of metabolic traits. Finally, the review examines the potential benefits of diabetes treatment in improving sperm parameters and chromatin integrity. Evidence from clinical studies demonstrates that interventions, particularly intensive glycemic control, can lead to measurable improvements in sperm DNA integrity. A comprehensive search was conducted in major scientific databases, including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science, to identify studies examining the impact of DM on male fertility using keywords like “diabetes mellitus”, “male infertility”, “sperm chromatin structure”, “DNA fragmentation”, and “epigenetics”. This review addresses the critical issue of how DM negatively impacts male fertility by altering sperm chromatin structure and DNA integrity. We explore the potential mechanisms involved and the impact of diabetes treatment on sperm quality. Additionally, the emerging concept of epigenetic inheritance and its potential role in this context is discussed
