THE DYNAMICS OF LEADERSHIP STYLES OF VILLAGE HEADS BASED ON EDUCATION AND GEOGRAPHICAL FACTORS IN MADURA
This study explores community perspectives on village heads' leadership styles based on their educational background and geographical location, focusing on Madura. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, participatory observations, and documentation in four villages representing combinations of educational levels (graduates and non-graduates) and geographical contexts (urban and rural). The findings reveal that educational background and geography significantly influence leadership styles. Non-graduate urban village heads demonstrated democratic leadership, actively engaging communities and ensuring transparency in development. Conversely, graduate village heads, whether urban or rural, exhibited a laissez-faire approach with minimal involvement in development and community empowerment. Rural non-graduate village heads tended toward autocratic leadership with limited inclusivity. The study highlights the community's preference for future village heads who are transparent, inclusive, and focused on public welfare, emphasizing the need for leadership improvement to achieve sustainable village development.Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi pandangan masyarakat terhadap gaya kepemimpinan kepala desa berdasarkan latar belakang pendidikan dan letak geografisnya, dengan fokus di wilayah Madura. Dengan pendekatan studi kasus kualitatif, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara, observasi partisipatif, dan dokumentasi di empat desa yang mewakili kombinasi tingkat pendidikan kepala desa (lulusan sarjana dan non-sarjana) serta konteks geografis (kota dan desa). Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa latar belakang pendidikan dan letak geografis secara signifikan memengaruhi gaya kepemimpinan. Kepala desa non-sarjana di kota menunjukkan gaya kepemimpinan demokratis, yang aktif melibatkan masyarakat dan transparan dalam pembangunan. Sebaliknya, kepala desa sarjana, baik di kota maupun di desa, cenderung menerapkan pendekatan laissez-faire dengan keterlibatan minimal dalam pembangunan dan pemberdayaan masyarakat. Kepala desa non-sarjana di desa cenderung bersifat otokratik dengan tingkat inklusivitas yang rendah. Studi ini menyoroti harapan masyarakat terhadap kepala desa di masa depan yang transparan, inklusif, dan berorientasi pada kesejahteraan masyarakat, serta pentingnya peningkatan kepemimpinan untuk mencapai pembangunan desa yang berkelanjutan
Formulasi Kebijakan Peraturan Desa dalam Penanggulangan Tambang Batuan Jenis Tertentu di Desa Tanjung Kabupaten Magelang
This research aims to analyze the process of formulating a Village Regulation (Perdes) in Tanjung Village concerning the rejection of Sirtu mining activities, using the policy formulation theory of the democratic model by Thomas R. Dye. The importance of this study arises from the environmental and social threats faced by the people of Tanjung Village due to mining activities, which necessitate a policy to protect the environment. This research employs a qualitative approach using interviews, observations, and document analysis to understand the role of the community, village government, and Village Consultative Body (BPD) in the policy formulation process. The results show that the Perdes formulation process involved active community participation at every stage, from problem identification to policy enactment. Both the community and village government agreed to reject mining due to concerns about environmental degradation. However, technical challenges arose in the legislative process, particularly in understanding the correct format and procedures for drafting the Perdes in line with higher regulations. The conclusion of this study highlights the importance of community participation in village policy formulation to achieve effective legitimacy and implementation. Although successful, the study identifies a lack of technical support from higher-level government, which impacted the legislative process. This study emphasizes the necessity for technical assistance and capacity-building for village governments to improve future policy formulation.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis proses perumusan Peraturan Desa (Perdes) di Desa Tanjung terkaitpenolakan aktivitas tambang Sirtu, dengan pendekatan teori formulasi kebijakan model demokrasi menurutThomas R.

Analisis Kegagalan Public Service Motivation sebagai Instrumen Pencegahan Korupsi pada Aparatur Negara Indonesia
Corruption among Indonesian state apparatus remains a serious problem that damages bureaucratic integrity and hampers public service. Although Public Service Motivation (PSM) is designed to encourage public employees to act ethically and serve the public with integrity, its implementation in the Indonesian context has proven ineffective in preventing corrupt behavior. This study aims to understand the factors that cause PSM to fail as an instrument for preventing corruption in the Indonesian bureaucracy. Using qualitative research methods based on secondary data, this study analyzes reports, studies, and relevant literature related to the implementation of PSM in the context of preventing corruption. The research findings identify five main factors that hinder the effectiveness of PSM: weak internal supervision, an organizational culture that is permissive of corruption, inadequate compensation and welfare, social influence and external pressure, and the absence of a strong ethical infrastructure. These factors collectively create a work environment that does not support integrity, thus affecting public service motivation. The conclusion of this study emphasizes the importance of organizational culture reform, increased supervision, and the development of an incentive system that supports ethics and integrity to optimize the role of PSM in preventing corruption.Korupsi di kalangan aparatur negara Indonesia masih menjadi masalah serius yang merusak integritas birokrasi dan menghambat pelayanan publik. Meskipun Public Service Motivation (PSM) dirancang untuk mendorong pegawai publik bertindak etis dan melayani masyarakat dengan integritas, penerapannya dalam konteks Indonesia terbukti belum efektif dalam mencegah perilaku korupsi. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk memahami faktor-faktor yang menyebabkan PSM gagal sebagai instrumen pencegahan korupsi di lingkungan birokrasi Indonesia. Dengan menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif berbasis data sekunder, penelitian ini menganalisis laporan, studi, dan literatur yang relevan terkait penerapan PSM dalam konteks pencegahan korupsi. Temuan penelitian mengidentifikasi lima faktor utama yang menghambat efektivitas PSM: lemahnya pengawasan internal, budaya organisasi yang permisif terhadap korupsi, ketidakcukupan kompensasi dan kesejahteraan, pengaruh sosial dan tekanan eksternal, serta ketiadaan infrastruktur etika yang kuat. Faktor-faktor ini secara kolektif menciptakan lingkungan kerja yang tidak mendukung integritas, sehingga memengaruhi motivasi pelayanan publik. Kesimpulan penelitian ini menegaskan pentingnya reformasi budaya organisasi, peningkatan pengawasan, serta pengembangan sistem insentif yang mendukung etika dan integritas untuk mengoptimalkan peran PSM dalam mencegah korupsi.

Geoeconomic Leverage and Resource Exploitation in Global Supply Chains: The Case of Indonesian Sand Exports
Indonesia has now reopened its sand exports after closing its exports for a long time, sand exports are carried out on sedimentation types. This research examines how Indonesia's sand exports can become Indonesia's political leverage at the global level. This research found that Indonesia has the opportunity to make sand exports a geoeconomic instrument, this is because there is a gap in the global sand market, where exporting countries reduce extraction and limit sand exports. This situation can then cause disruption in the global sand supply chain. Indonesia can take advantage of this situation through its sand exports, where Indonesian sand exports can help meet the needs of importing countries. This can help Indonesia to expand and strengthen its influence on sand importing countries
Glass Ceiling: Perempuan dan Puncak Kekuasaan pada DPD Partai Golongan Karya Provinsi Sumatera Selatan
This study aims to determine the obstacles and challenges faced by female cadres in realizing the thirty percent quota of female cadres in the organizational structure of the Golkar Party Regional Leadership Council (DPD) of South Sumatra Province. The research method used is qualitative with a phenomenological approach, namely the researcher identifies the nature of human experience towards certain phenomena. Data collection techniques are carried out using three methods; observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis techniques include processing, listening, writing, and re-describing the interview results into narrative form. The results of the analysis and findings, obtained during field research, indicate that in the context of the thirty percent quota, most political parties are able to meet the thirty percent quota. However, the glass ceiling theory still applies in the political realm due to situational support, social barriers, and personal barriers. Situational support in the social environment of the Golkar Party in South Sumatra Province clearly recognizes and pays attention to the position of women in the party, including in its organizational structure. The social and personal barriers faced by women limit their roles and have a negative impact on the development of their potential, making the combination of career and family responsibilities challenging. The glass ceiling still exists, but it is no longer based on patriarchal culture, but is related to the issue of time allocation between choosing a career or managing household responsibilities and the availability of funds for female cadres to advance to legislative seats.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui hambatan dan tantangan yang dihadapi kader perempuan dalam mewujudkan kuota tiga puluh persen kader perempuan dalam struktur organisasi Dewan Pimpinan Daerah (DPD) Partai Golkar Provinsi Sumatera Selatan. Metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah kualitatif dengan pendekatan fenomenologi, yaitu peneliti mengidentifikasi hakikat pengalaman manusia terhadap fenomena tertentu. Teknik pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan tiga cara yaitu observasi, wawancara, dan dokumentasi. Teknik analisis data meliputi mengolah, menyimak, menulis, dan mendeskripsikan kembali hasil wawancara ke dalam bentuk narasi. Hasil analisis dan temuan menunjukkan bahwa dalam konteks kuota tiga puluh persen, sebagian besar partai politik mampu memenuhi kuota tiga puluh persen. Namun, teori glass ceiling masih berlaku di ranah politik karena adanya dukungan situasional, hambatan sosial, dan hambatan personal. Dukungan situasional di lingkungan sosial Partai Golkar Provinsi Sumatera Selatan secara jelas mengakui dan memperhatikan posisi perempuan dalam partai, termasuk dalam struktur organisasinya. Hambatan sosial dan pribadi yang dihadapi perempuan membatasi peran mereka dan berdampak negatif terhadap pengembangan potensi mereka, sehingga kombinasi antara tanggung jawab karir dan keluarga menjadi sulit. Langit-langit kaca masih ada, tetapi tidak lagi didasarkan pada budaya patriarki, tetapi terkait dengan masalah alokasi waktu antara memilih karir atau mengelola tanggung jawab rumah tangga dan ketersediaan dana bagi kader perempuan untuk maju menjadi anggota legislatif
