Educational Social Assistance and Human Capital Development: Evidence from Marginalized Students in Jakarta
Get PDFSocioeconomic disparities in Jakarta continue to hinder the development of high-quality human resources, particularly among marginalized communities. In response, the Jakarta Provincial Government introduced the Kartu Jakarta Mahasiswa Unggul (KJMU) program to improve access to higher education through targeted social assistance. This study investigates the effectiveness of KJMU by examining the influence of educational social assistance on recipients’ behavior, its impact on human capital quality, and the mediating role of behavior in that relationship. Utilizing the Theory of Planned Behavior, data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire from 155 KJMU recipients and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that social assistance has a significant positive effect on recipients’ behavior. However, neither educational assistance nor behavior showed a direct statistically significant impact on the quality of human capital, as measured by academic achievement, employability, and study efficiency. Among these indicators, academic performance exhibited the strongest association, while employment waiting time showed the weakest. These results suggest that while KJMU effectively fosters academic motivation and positive attitudes, it alone may be insufficient to enhance overall human capital quality. Complementary interventions such as career mentoring, soft skills training, and post-graduation support are recommended to strengthen the long-term outcomes of educational social assistance programs

The Role of the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP): Between Commitment and Implementation
Get PDFClimate change necessitates a global shift toward sustainable energy, prompting international initiatives such as the Just Energy Transition Partnership (JETP) to bridge the gap between global climate commitments and national development priorities. This study examines Indonesia's international role realization through JETP implementation within a hybrid global governance framework, utilizing role performance theory to analyze the alignment between partnership commitments and actual implementation outcomes. Employing qualitative research methods with systematic literature review spanning 2022-2025, this research investigates JETP's USD 20 billion commitment through a dual-level analysis encompassing international partnership dynamics and domestic policy translation mechanisms. The findings reveal a significant gap between ambitious commitments and implementation realities, with only USD 1.1 billion (5.5%) mobilized through 54 projects by September 2024. While JETP successfully established multi-stakeholder coordination mechanisms involving G7 countries, international financial institutions, and Indonesia's national framework, operational challenges, including complex disbursement processes, extended stakeholder consultations, and structural limitations in financing architecture, have hindered rapid implementation. This research contributes to understanding the intersection of symbolic commitment and structural barriers in international environmental governance, demonstrating that multilateral climate finance partnerships require substantial institutional maturation time to effectively bridge global climate goals with national energy transition realities in developing countries
Integrating Fire Prevention Strategies with Industrial Hygiene to Improve Workplace Safety in the textile industry PT. Panca Bintang Tunggal
Get PDFIn addressing workplace safety within PT. Panca Bintang Tunggal, a qualitative approach was employed to explore the integration of fire prevention strategies with industrial hygiene. This research distinguishes itself from existing literature by focusing specifically on the integration of fire prevention strategies with industrial hygiene practices tailored for PT. Panca Bintang Tunggal. Previous studies often address these areas in isolation, neglecting the synergistic benefits of their integration. Data was collected through semi-structured interviews with 50 participants, including safety officers, production managers, and frontline workers. This diverse participant pool ensures a comprehensive perspective on safety practices and fire hazards prevalent in the workplace. The data analysis involved thematic coding, where responses were categorised into key themes such as risk perception, existing safety measures, and the effectiveness of current fire prevention strategies. Thematic analysis is particularly valuable in qualitative research as it helps in identifying patterns and insights that quantitative methods may overlook. The findings indicate a pressing need for integrated training programs that encompass both fire prevention and industrial hygiene practices. For example, implementing regular fire drills alongside hygiene training can reinforce the importance of safety protocols, fostering a culture of safety within the organisation. As noted by the National Fire Protection Association, organisations with comprehensive training programmes significantly reduce the incidence of workplace fires
Integrated Corporate Communication to Enhance Sustainability Credibility in Green Loan Applications: A Case Study in the Oil and Gas Industry
Get PDFThis study examines how Integrated Corporate Communication (ICC) strategies shape the credibility of oil and gas companies in securing green loans, responding to growing financial sector demands for transparency and sustainability in the context of global climate action. Focusing on Company X and its interactions with Bank Y, the research addresses how ICC implementation influences perceived eligibility for green financing. By integrating the Competing Values Framework for Corporate Communication (CVFCC) with the Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), this study offers novel insights into the underexplored intersection of corporate communication and green financing, particularly in emerging markets where prior studies have often neglected the strategic role of ICC. Employing a qualitative case study grounded in a constructivist paradigm, data were gathered through in-depth interviews with Company X’s communication and sustainability teams and Bank Y officials, complemented by document analysis. The findings reveal that cross-functional communication spanning employee, media, investor, and government relations significantly strengthens sustainability credibility, with both central and peripheral communication strategies proving persuasive in loan assessments. The study concludes that cohesive and transparent ICC enhances the perceived credibility of energy firms, underscoring its vital role as a strategic tool for companies seeking access to sustainable finance in an increasingly scrutinised business environment
