Means and Objectives of Social Rehabilitation within Correctional Institutions
Get PDFThe role of rehabilitation and reform is limited to the human need of the deviant and the delinquent to bring him back to the right path and keep him away from evil and criminal behavior. Rehabilitation means that the implementation of the punitive punishment should be through the method of refinement and reform so that the convict can be qualified to adapt to society and not return to crime in the future. Rehabilitation in this description is a type of special deterrence, except that it is devoid of the element of pain and is dominated by the element of assistance in following the right path in the future. Social rehabilitation is, in fact, the offspring of modern penal policy, which relied on scientific experimental thinking and called for the necessity of protecting society from the criminal, not from the crime. This is done by examining the personality of this criminal, determining the degree of his criminal danger and its causes, and then taking the necessary measures to confront and treat this danger. Thus, the center of gravity shifted from the crime to the criminal. This shift led to the prevalence of new procedural and objective ideas for this policy, such as examining the personality of the criminal, determining the degree of his criminal danger, and treating it by choosing appropriate measures. Social rehabilitation is included within a general penal policy that aims to achieve crime prevention and reform criminals so that they return to society as good members, and behave like honorable citizens who seek to secure their livelihood by playing a constructive role in their society

The Role of the Gorontalo City DPRD in Supervising Infrastructure Development: A Comparative Study of Development Results and Targets
Get PDFIndonesia’s rapid development, especially in the implementation of democratic governance, has led to the strengthening of regional autonomy, which allows regions to manage their own government affairs. This autonomy is crucial for local development, particularly in infrastructure. The role of the Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) is critical in overseeing infrastructure projects to ensure they align with set targets and standards. This study employs a qualitative approach to explore the oversight function of the Gorontalo City DPRD, specifically Commission C, in infrastructure development. Data collection involved interviews, field visits, and document analysis, focusing on the oversight activities of Commission C regarding infrastructure projects funded by the National Economic Recovery (PEN) program. The findings reveal that although Commission C performs oversight through hearings and field visits, the comparison between actual results and planned targets is not optimal. There is a significant gap between the established standards and the reality on the ground, which hampers the sustainability of infrastructure projects. Public pressure has emerged as a crucial factor in ensuring the completion of delayed projects. The oversight function of Commission C in Gorontalo City, while present, needs to be enhanced to ensure better alignment between project outcomes and standards. Active and continuous engagement, particularly in addressing community concerns, is essential for improving the effectiveness of DPRD's oversight role in infrastructure developmen

Economic Transformation, Structural Change, and Inclusive Growth in The Philippines: A Literature Review
Get PDFThis literature-based study examines the intricate relationship between economic transformation, structural change, and inclusive growth in the Philippines. Over the past several decades, the Philippine economy has undergone notable shifts from agriculture toward services, driven by globalization, digitalization, and labor migration. However, this transformation has not been accompanied by a proportionate rise in employment, productivity, or equitable income distribution. The literature reveals that while sectors such as business process outsourcing and finance have contributed to macroeconomic growth, traditional sectors like manufacturing and agriculture have lagged, limiting the inclusivity of development. Regional disparities remain stark, with economic activity concentrated in urban centers while rural areas experience stagnation. Human capital mismatches, weak industrial policy, and governance inefficiencies further constrain the country’s capacity to sustain broad-based growth. The study highlights that the Philippine case exemplifies “growth without structural transformation,” where the benefits of modernization are unevenly distributed across social classes, genders, and regions. Addressing these challenges requires a comprehensive policy approach that integrates industrial revitalization, education reform, institutional strengthening, and environmental sustainability. Inclusive growth can only be realized when economic transformation not only enhances efficiency and competitiveness but also expands opportunities for all segments of society. The findings underscore the need for coherent, long-term strategies that link structural reform with social equity to achieve a resilient and inclusive Philippine economy
How Servant Leadership and Organizational Justice Translate into Performance: Evidence from a Value-Fit Perspective
Get PDFEmployee performance remains a critical determinant of organizational sustainability, particularly in labor-intensive industries operating in emerging economies. This study investigates the effects of servant leadership and organizational justice on employee performance, with person–organization fit (P–O fit) serving as a mediating mechanism. Using survey data collected from employees of a distribution company in Indonesia, this research applies Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with WarpPLS 8.0. The results reveal that servant leadership has a strong and significant direct effect on employee performance, while organizational justice primarily influences performance indirectly through P–O fit. The mediation analysis confirms that value congruence between employees and the organization plays a pivotal role in translating leadership behavior and fairness perceptions into performance outcomes. This study contributes to leadership and organizational behavior literature by integrating leadership, justice, and fit perspectives within an emerging-economy context. Practical implications for leadership development and fairness-based human resource practices are discussed
Product Evaluation of the Voter List Update Policy in Gorontalo Regency
Get PDFAccurate voter data is fundamental to the integrity of democratic elections, ensuring public participation and supporting governance quality. In Gorontalo Regency, Indonesia, the 2020 Regional Elections revealed challenges in the voter list updating process conducted through Matching and Research (Coklit), affecting data validity and electoral outcomes. This study evaluates the product of the voter list updating policy in Gorontalo Regency, emphasizing the achievement of program objectives, data accuracy, public satisfaction, and democratic impact. A qualitative descriptive approach was employed. Data were collected via direct observation, in-depth interviews with voter list updating officers, election supervisors, and official documents from the General Elections Commission (KPU) and Elections Supervisory Agency (Bawaslu). Analysis utilized the CIPP evaluation model, focusing on the product component to assess effectiveness, impact, sustainability, and adaptability of the voter list updating process. Findings indicate that the voter list updating policy’s product remains suboptimal. Discrepancies existed between the Voter List (DPT) published by KPU and Bawaslu findings, including unregistered voters and unrecorded data changes. These inaccuracies contributed to public dissatisfaction and reduced voter participation. Product evaluation also highlighted gaps in operational mechanisms, inter-official coordination, and the underutilization of information technology, suggesting areas for strategic improvement. This study underscores the necessity of systematic evaluation of voter list updating policies to strengthen electoral accuracy, enhance local democracy, and guide decision-making for future policy refinements. Implementing technological solutions and improving procedural coordination are recommended to achieve more reliable, transparent, and participatory voter list management in subsequent elections
The Effect of Debt Policy, Dividend Policy, and Investment Decisions on Firm Value with Profitability as an Intervening Variable on the JII70 Index for the 2022-2024 Period
Get PDFFirm value is an important indicator for assessing a company's success and prospects in the market. For companies registered with the JII70 (Indonesian Islamic Association of Indonesia) (JII70), firm value has a strategic dimension because, in addition to being required to demonstrate good financial performance, companies must also comply with sharia principles. Financial policies such as debt policy, dividend policy, and investment decisions are factors that can influence firm value, while profitability acts as an intervening variable that strengthens this relationship. This study uses a quantitative method with an associative research type to analyze the relationship between variables. Data were obtained through documentary studies using the financial statements of JII70 companies for the 2022–2024 period. The sampling technique used a non-probability method with purposive sampling. Analysis was carried out using correlation coefficient tests, coefficient of determination, simultaneous tests (F), and partial tests (t). The results of the correlation test indicate that debt policy, dividend policy, and investment decisions have a strong relationship with profitability (R = 0.038) and firm value through profitability (R = 0.679). The coefficient of determination shows that the three independent variables influence profitability by 5.1% and influence firm value through profitability by 46.2%. Simultaneous testing showed that the three policies had no significant effect on profitability, but did significantly influence firm value, with profitability as an intervening variable. Partially, all three variables significantly influenced both profitability and firm value. Debt policy, dividend policy, and investment decisions were shown to contribute significantly to firm value when mediated by profitability. Therefore, management needs to consider effective financial policy integration to enhance Sharia-compliant firm value
Pastoral Leadership as a Catalyst in Strengthening the Organizational Culture–Performance Link: The Mediating Role of Organizational Commitment in West Kalimantan Credit Unions
Get PDFThis study investigates the influence of organizational culture on employee performance in the cooperative financial sector, incorporating organizational commitment as a mediator and pastoral leadership as a moderator. The research was conducted among 317 employees from selected Credit Unions in West Kalimantan, Indonesia, using a quantitative survey approach. Data were analyzed with WarpPLS 7.0, following a two-step evaluation of the measurement and structural models. The findings reveal that organizational culture exerts a strong positive effect on organizational commitment (β = 0.655, p < 0.001) and a moderate positive effect on employee performance (β = 0.296, p < 0.001). Organizational commitment significantly enhances employee performance (β = 0.468, p < 0.001) and partially mediates the relationship between culture and performance (indirect effect β = 0.306, p < 0.001). Furthermore, pastoral leadership strengthens the culture–performance link through a positive and significant moderating effect (β = 0.136, p = 0.007). The model demonstrates satisfactory explanatory power (R² = 0.429 for commitment; R² = 0.473 for performance) and predictive relevance (Q² = 0.431 and Q² = 0.566, respectively), with a large overall goodness-of-fit (GoF = 0.557). These results emphasize the strategic importance of aligning organizational culture with pastoral leadership principles to foster employee commitment and drive sustainable performance in cooperative institutions. The study offers theoretical contributions to the literature on organizational behavior in values-based organizations and practical implications for leaders seeking to strengthen cultural cohesion, moral stewardship, and operational effectiveness
