Barry Sugiharto, Manahan Budiarto Pandjaitan — Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Efforts to improve soldier leadership and performance are important issues in facing increasingly complex military operational challenges. This research aims to explore the role of artificial intelligence in improving soldier leadership and performance through an innovative technology-based approach. The research methods used include literature research, data analysis, and experiments with artificial intelligence systems designed for training simulations, performance analysis, and strategic decision making. The findings show that the application of artificial intelligence can improve the effectiveness of soldier training, identify leadership potential through behavioral data analysis, and support faster and more accurate decision making in dynamic situations. Therefore, integrating artificial intelligence into military training and combat military systems can be a strategic solution to significantly improve soldier leadership and performance.

Exploring Sustainable Hospitality: The Green Hotel Concept in Tourism

Wed, 25 Jun 2025 00:00:00 +0000

This study aims to provide new insights into the academic literature on sustainability in the tourism industry and to provide practical insights for practitioners to improve the sustainability of their operational practices. Qualitative methods were used by presenting international articles from international journals related to the topic. This study explores the concept of green hotels and analyzes the sustainable practices they implement. The results provide a better understanding of how the hospitality industry can improve their operational sustainability. This study also provides practical insights for practitioners to improve their operational sustainability by understanding the best practices implemented by green hotels. It is important for the hospitality industry to continue exploring the concept of green hotels and encourage the adoption of sustainable practices to reduce environmental impact, enhance competitiveness, reduce long-term operational costs, and improve guest experience. Therefore, collaboration between industry stakeholders, government, and local communities is necessary to realize the vision of sustainable tourism.

Improving Competitive Advantage through Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) supported by Value Creation and New Product Development on Manufacturing Sector in Bekasi Indonesia

This study examines how Value Creation and New Product Development (NPD) influence Competitive Advantage, and whether Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mediate these relationships in the manufacturing sector. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, data were collected from 272 respondents across Bekasi’s manufacturing firms and analyzed using PLS-SEM via SmartPLS. The findings reveal that both Value Creation (β = 0.260, t = 2.297, p = 0.022, f² = 0.148) and NPD (β = 0.455, t = 4.949, p < 0.001, f² = 0.458) significantly and positively impact Competitive Advantage, with NPD exerting a stronger effect. Engagement with SDGs also positively affects Competitive Advantage (β = 0.158, t = 2.258, p = 0.024), albeit to a lesser extent. However, the direct relationships from Value Creation or NPD to SDG performance were not statistically significant, and SDGs did not mediate their effects on Competitive Advantage. This research contributes to theory by confirming innovation and stakeholder-centered value creation as primary drivers of competitive positioning, while highlighting that SDG alignment supports—but does not transmit—the benefits of operational and innovation efforts. Practically, it suggests firms should fortify value creation and NPD capabilities, and strategically integrate sustainability to amplify their competitive impact. The study is original in detailing the non-significant mediation of SDGs, challenging the common assumption that sustainability goals automatically follow from value or innovation investments. It provides nuanced insights into the distinct and complementary roles of value creation, product innovation, and sustainability engagement in driving competitive advantage in manufacturing contexts

Employee Productivity Improvement Strategy Through Innovation: An Analysis of Digital Communication Technology and R&D in Trading Companies in Jakarta

Aprison Aprison, Slamet Ryadi, Suyanto Suyanto, Sukesi Sukesi, Aminullah Assagaf — Tue, 05 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

Purpose: This study analyzes how CSR, innovation, and environmental policies influence organizational sustainability. It also examines how organizational culture mediates these factors to enhance overall performance.

Method: Study employ a quantitative research design, distributing structured questionnaires to employees and management in various industries. The data were analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to assess the relationships between the independent variables (innovation, CSR, and environmental practices), the mediating variable (organizational culture), and the dependent variable (organizational sustainability).

Results/Findings: The reasuts reveal Digital communication technology strongly enhances innovation (β = 0.771, t = 22.06, p < 0.001), while R&D modestly boosts innovation (β = 0.087, t = 1.96, p = 0.025). Notably, digital technology has no direct impact on productivity (β = 0.014, t = 0.50, p = 0.308). In contrast, R&D almost perfectly drives productivity (β = 0.996, t = 136.01, p < 0.001), and innovation also contributes positively but only slightly (β = 0.019, t = 2.00, p = 0.036). All interpretations align with standard significance benchmarks (|t| ≈ 2, p < 0.05) .

Contribution: By presenting data on important factors and the mediating function of organizational culture, this study advances our understanding of organizational sustainability. It provides practitioners and policymakers with helpful ideas on how to take use of these characteristics to enhance performance.

Originality: A comprehensive model of organizational sustainability is created by this research by combining five independent variables, a mediating variable, and a dependent variable. It presents a fresh viewpoint on how internal variables amplify the influence of sustainability drivers by highlighting the function of organizational culture, offering a comprehensive strategy for enhancing sustainability.

Strategies for Improving Teacher Determinants Through Work Discipline Moderated by Leadership: an Empirical Study in Islamic Private Schools in East Java

Tue, 26 Aug 2025 00:00:00 +0000

The purpose of this study is to determine the influence of Competency (X1), Training (X2), Awareness (X3), Work Environment (X4) on Work Discipline (Z) and the influence of Competency (X1), Training (X2), Awareness (X3), Work Environment (X4), Work Discipline (Z) and Leadership (M) on Teacher Performance (Y). Additionally, this study aims to determine the role of Leadership as a moderator in the relationship between work discipline and teacher performance at Islamic Private Schools in East Java. The method used for data processing in this study was quantitative, using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 software and path analysis with Partial Least Square Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM) using the SmartPLS Version 4 software program. The population size was 321 people, with a sample size of 190 respondents.Data collection in this study used a questionnaire, which was processed to obtain results showing the influence of variable X on Z, the influence of variables X, Z, and M on Y, and the role of M in the relationship between Z and Y. Further research would be beneficial if it also examined other variables influencing variable Y, such as motivation, achievement, remuneration, and others. This study provides significant benefits in enhancing variable Y, namely Teacher Performance, and the role of Leadership in strengthening the relationship between work discipline and Teacher Performance.
