Examining the Influence of Locus of Control on Citizenship Behavior: The Mediating Role of Naturalistic Intelligence in Urban Sustainability

/in /by

This study aims to examine the relationship between Locus of Control (LOC), Naturalistic Intelligence (NI), and Behavioral Citizenship (BC) in the context of sustainable cities in Indonesia. The primary objective is to investigate how LOC influences BC and the mediating role of NI in this relationship. The research was conducted in Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, with a sample of 200 participants. Data were collected using a questionnaire with a 5-point Likert scale, and analysis was performed using Path Analysis with SmartPLS software. The key findings demonstrate that LOC positively impacts both NI and BC, with NI serving as a significant mediator between LOC and BC. Individuals with a high sense of control over their lives and strong naturalistic intelligence are more likely to engage in pro-environmental and community-oriented behaviors. These findings underscore the importance of psychological factors in promoting sustainable citizenship behaviors. The study contributes to the literature by highlighting the role of naturalistic intelligence as a crucial mediator in the relationship between personal control and active citizenship. It also offers practical insights for urban policymakers and community leaders, emphasizing the need to incorporate environmental education and psychological empowerment into urban sustainability programs to foster greater community engagement and responsibility.

This study investigates the impact of Pro-Environmental School Culture (PESC) on Green School Implementation (GSI), with Students’ Environmental Awareness (SEA) serving as a mediating variable. The primary objective is to understand how a supportive school culture influences student awareness and the effective implementation of green initiatives. Utilizing a quantitative research design, data were collected from 175 high school students through a structured questionnaire, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The findings reveal that PESC significantly influences GSI, highlighting that schools with a strong environmental culture are more successful in implementing sustainable practices. Additionally, PESC positively impacts SEA, indicating that a pro-environmental culture enhances students’ awareness of environmental issues. The results further demonstrate that SEA mediates the relationship between PESC and GSI, confirming that increased environmental awareness among students is crucial for the success of green initiatives. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence from Indonesian schools, emphasizing the interconnectedness of school culture, student awareness, and environmental practices. The implications suggest that educational institutions should prioritize fostering a pro-environmental culture to enhance student engagement and promote sustainability. Moreover, policymakers are encouraged to support schools in integrating environmental education and initiatives, ultimately leading to a more sustainable future for Indonesia.

Analysis of the Effectiveness of Internal Control Systems on Regional Financial Management in the North Maluku Provincial Government

/in /by

This study examines the performance of the Internal Control System (ICS) in the management of regional finance in the North Maluku Provincial Government. The research employed a descriptive qualitative methodology, utilizing primary data gathered through direct observation and interviews, alongside secondary data acquired from the BPK Audit Report (LHP). This study determined that the implementation of ICS has not been fully effective, based on the analysis of the five components of ICS as per Government Regulation (PP) No. 60/2008, aligned with the COSO framework. Notwithstanding attempts to enhance the control environment, the disparity between employees’ credentials and their responsibilities, along with deficiencies in risk assessment and control activities, suggests the presence of issues. Critical findings indicated that the assets were inaccurately documented, and the potential for unregulated budget management persisted. Furthermore, there was little communication among authorities within the responsibility transfer system. This study found that inadequate ICS can elevate the probability of misstatements in financial reports and obstruct local government initiatives aimed at attaining transparency and accountability in fund administration. This research aims to assist stakeholders in enhancing the future implementation of ICS.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Enhancing Employee Performance through SHRM and Organizational Creativity at ABC Bank Yogyakarta Area Office

/in /by

This study explores the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in mediating the effects of Sustainability Human Resource Management (SHRM) and Organizational Creativity on employee performance. Conducted at ABC Bank’s Yogyakarta Area Office, the research employs a quantitative survey method and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to analyze data. SHRM practices, including HR development, diversity, and occupational safety, directly contribute to employee engagement and productivity. Similarly, Organizational Creativity, encompassing individual creativity, team collaboration, and knowledge creation, enhances innovation and adaptability within the workplace.

The findings demonstrate that SHRM and Organizational Creativity have a significant positive impact on employee performance. SHRM fosters a sustainable work environment, while Organizational Creativity drives the generation of new ideas and solutions to meet organizational goals. However, AI’s role as a mediator between these variables and employee performance was found to be statistically insignificant. This suggests that while AI facilitates HR processes and supports strategic decisions, its integration as a mediator depends on factors such as technological readiness and employee adaptability.

This study underscores the importance of aligning SHRM and Organizational Creativity with technological advancements to enhance employee performance. While the mediating effect of AI requires further exploration, its potential to transform HR and creativity processes remains promising. These findings provide valuable insights for organizations seeking to optimize employee performance by leveraging sustainable practices, fostering innovation, and integrating advanced technologies.

This offering is for the Bhuta Kala. This article aims to map the Balinese lexicons related to Segehan and the types of segehan by applying an ecolinguistics approach. Ecolinguistics discusses in detail how the environment influences the use of language in a community. The research is qualitatively conducted in Marga Village Tabanan and Badung Bali Indonesia.
