The Role Of Work Stress And Professionalism As Mediators Of The Influence Of Work Shifts And Work Environment On The Welfare Of Pharmaceutical Personnel In Hospitals Throughout Kendari City

Yusniati Dwi Pemudi — 2026-10-08

The welfare of pharmaceutical personnel is an important aspect in maintaining the quality of service and patient safety in hospitals. This study aims to analyze the influence of work shifts and work environment on the welfare of pharmaceutical personnel with work stress and professionalism as mediation variables. The research uses a quantitative approach with an explanatory design. The research was carried out on pharmaceutical personnel at Bahteramas Hospital and Kendari City Hospital. The research sample amounted to 110 pharmaceutical personnel who were selected using the saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling with the SmartPLS application. The results of the study showed that the work environment had a positive and significant effect on professionalism with a coefficient of 0.557 and on welfare of 0.354. Professionalism also had a positive and significant effect on welfare with a coefficient of 0.543. On the other hand, shift work has no significant effect on work stress, professionalism, or welfare. The work environment has no significant effect on work stress, while work stress has no significant effect on welfare. Professionalism partially mediates the influence of the work environment on welfare with an indirect influence coefficient of 0.302. The research model was able to explain 67.9 percent of the variation in the welfare of pharmaceutical personnel. The findings confirm that improving the work environment and strengthening professionalism need to be a priority for hospital management.

The Influence Of Circular Economy Awareness And Green Marketing On Sustainable Purchase Intention Among F&B Consumers In Indonesia

Ropi Irawan — 2026-10-08

Sustainable consumption has become increasingly important in the food and beverage sector due to its contribution to resource use and waste generation. This study aims to examine the influence of Circular Economy Awareness and Green Marketing on Sustainable Purchase Intention among F&B consumers in Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed using an online questionnaire distributed to 120 consumers selected through purposive sampling. Respondents were Indonesian residents aged 18 years or older who had purchased F&B products within the previous six months. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after conducting validity, reliability, normality, heteroscedasticity, and multicollinearity tests. The results indicate that Circular Economy Awareness has a positive and significant influence on Sustainable Purchase Intention, with a standardized coefficient of 0.561 and a significance level below 0.001. Green Marketing also has a positive and significant influence, with a standardized coefficient of 0.261 and a significance level of 0.003. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence Sustainable Purchase Intention and explain 59.9% of its variance. Circular Economy Awareness demonstrates a stronger influence than Green Marketing, indicating that consumers’ understanding of circular economy principles plays an important role in encouraging sustainable purchasing intentions. These findings highlight the importance of combining consumer education on circular economy practices with credible and environmentally oriented marketing strategies to promote sustainable consumption in the Indonesian F&B sector.

Minimum Wages And Youth Neet: A Fixed-Effects Panel Data Analysis And Robustness Checks For 34 Provinces In Indonesia

Fransisca Bella Oktaviana — 2026-10-08

The continually increasing provincial minimum wage policy in Indonesia has not succeeded in reducing the high proportion of young people in the NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) category. This phenomenon indicates a dysfunction in the school-to-work transition that is influenced by inequalities in regional economic structures. This study aims to analyze the effects of provincial minimum wages and regional characteristics on the NEET rate among young people aged 15–24 within the broader framework of human resource development. This quantitative study used secondary data in the form of panel data from 34 provinces over the period 2015–2024 (340 observations). The data were analyzed using fixed-effects regression with Driscoll–Kraay standard errors to address cross-sectional dependence. The empirical results showed that the provincial minimum wage policy did not have a statistically significant effect on youth NEET. By contrast, population density had a positive and significant effect, while the other macroeconomic variables were not significant. These findings indicate that local geographic and economic characteristics are more decisive than nationally uniform wage-setting policy. The implication is that the government must reorient its youth unemployment strategies from uniform national policies towards territorially targeted labour-market interventions.

The Impact of Population Density and Minimum Wage on Unemployment: The Urgency of Psychological Resilience in A Multicultural Workplace

Meilinda Nuur Pratiwi — 2026-10-08

Educated unemployment in urban areas constitutes a structural problem that has become increasingly complex due to high demographic density and wage standards. This condition creates a competitive multicultural work ecosystem. This study aims to examine the effect of Population Density and Regency/City Minimum Wage (UMK) on the Open Unemployment Rate (TPT) in East Java Province, as well as to analyze the urgency of psychological resilience in building work readiness among young graduates. This research employs an explanatory quantitative approach based on aggregate secondary data obtained from official publications of the Central Bureau of Statistics (BPS) for the year 2025. The research sample was drawn using a total sampling technique, encompassing all 38 regencies/cities in East Java Province. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression (Ordinary Least Squares). The findings prove that Population Density (p = 0.006; t = 2.950) and UMK (p = 0.020; t = 2.432) partially and simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on TPT, with the model's explanatory power accounting for 40.5% of the variability. In conclusion, high population ratios and wage standards compel industries to implement stringent recruitment efficiency, culminating in increased unemployment. The implications of these findings underscore the importance of Human Resource Development (HRD) interventions in higher education through the strengthening of psychological resilience to build adaptability and work readiness among students in facing the rigors of rejection within a multicultural work environment.

From Ombo to Carbon Credits: An Indigenous-Led ESG Governance Model for Direct Participation in Indonesia's Carbon Exchange

Rahmad Hidayat — 2026-10-08

Indonesia's carbon market has expanded since the Indonesia Carbon Exchange (IDXCarbon) began operating in September 2023, with accumulated transaction value reaching IDR 93.75 billion by April 2026. However, indigenous communities that have safeguarded forests for generations lack equal standing as market actors. This study designs and tests an institutional model enabling the Kaili indigenous community in Pakuli Induk Village, Sigi Regency, to participate directly in the carbon exchange, grounded in Ombo local wisdom. A mixed-method approach was employed with quantitative components including Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis with 12 criteria and 3 institutional alternatives, an Environmental, Social, and Governance Readiness Index with 12 measurable indicators, descriptive statistical analysis of IDXCarbon prices (September 2023–July 2026), financial scenario analysis with 4 price scenarios, and comparative institutional analysis between Indonesia and Kenya. Findings reveal: (1) Ombo shows high alignment with permanence and safeguards but weak in MRV and additionality requiring threat-based arguments; (2) direct participation (score 0.78) outperforms corporate partnership (0.52) and broker (0.56) in MCDA; (3) observed carbon prices (IDR 52,295–69,600/tCO₂e) are far below the IDR 200,000 assumption, yet the project remains viable with a break-even point of 9,180 tCO₂e; (4) Kenya's 40% minimum benefit sharing threshold offers relevant policy lessons. The proposed Lembaga Ombo Lestari model with 70:30 benefit-sharing and four-phase implementation roadmap contributes to inclusive ESG governance at the site level.
