This study aimed to analyze the impact of strategic management, specifically marketing and creative-economy-based development strategies, on the competitiveness of culinary enterprises in Makassar. A quantitative research design was employed, using a survey to collect primary data from a representative sample selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling to evaluate structural relationships and test the research hypotheses. The results indicated that creative economy-based marketing strategies had a significant positive effect on competitiveness. Furthermore, development strategies based on the creative economy were found to contribute even more significantly to enterprises' ability to strengthen their competitive position in the local market. These findings emphasize the necessity of adopting innovative and adaptive business models to thrive amid market dynamics. This study provides a solid foundation for enterprise actors and policymakers to enhance creative promotion and strategic development, ensuring long-term business sustainability and competitive advantage.
Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the effect of Human Resource Competency and Human Resource Planning on Employee Performance at the Long Beluah Community Health Center, Bulungan Regency. This study employed a quantitative research approach using a saturated sampling technique, involving all 49 employees. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using instrument validity and reliability tests, multiple linear regression analysis, partial t-tests, simultaneous F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The findings indicated that all questionnaire items were valid and reliable. The partial t-tests revealed that both Human Resource Competency and Human Resource Planning individually had a positive and statistically significant effect on Employee Performance. The simultaneous F-test also confirmed that Human Resource Competency and Human Resource Planning jointly exerted a positive and significant influence on Employee Performance. The coefficient of determination (R²) showed that Human Resource Competency and Human Resource Planning collectively explained 73.6% of the variance in Employee Performance. These findings indicate that improving employees' competencies and implementing effective human resource planning can significantly enhance employee performance at the Long Beluah Community Health Center.
This study aims to examine and analyze the influence of Financial Reporting Quality and Financial Management, both partially and simultaneously, on Public Accountability at the Regional Public Service Agency (BLUD) of dr. H. Soemarno Sosroatmodjo Regional General Hospital, Bulungan Regency, North Kalimantan. This type of research is associative quantitative. The population in this study consisted of 100 employees involved in the financial management of BLUD RSUD dr. H. Soemarno Sosroatmodjo, with a purposive sampling technique resulting in 80 respondents based on the Slovin formula calculation. Data collection was conducted through the distribution of questionnaires that had been tested for validity and reliability. The data analysis methods used were Multiple Linear Regression Analysis, t-test, F-test, and Coefficient of Determination with the assistance of SPSS. The results showed that Financial Reporting Quality partially has a positive and significant effect on Public Accountability; Financial Management partially has a positive and significant effect on Public Accountability; and Financial Reporting Quality and Financial Management simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on Public Accountability.
This study aims to analyze the effect of educational disparity and work motivation on employee performance at the Social Service Office of Makassar City. The study employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. The research population consisted of all 90 employees of the Social Service Office of Makassar City, who were entirely selected as the sample using a total sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The results indicate that educational disparity does not have a significant partial effect on employee performance. In contrast, work motivation has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Simultaneously, educational disparity and work motivation significantly influence employee performance. The coefficient of determination shows that a substantial proportion of employee performance variation can be explained by the two independent variables, with work motivation identified as the most dominant factor. These findings suggest that improving employee performance in social service institutions can be more effectively achieved by strengthening work motivation, accompanied by continuous management of educational disparities through training and capacity development programs.
The Reverse Osmosis (RO) unit in the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) of a coal-fired power plant plays a vital role in producing low-conductivity demineralized water for boiler feed. Permeate quality stability is strongly influenced by operating conditions, particularly inlet pressure and feed pH. This study evaluates the effects of inlet pressure and feed pH, both partially and simultaneously, on permeate conductivity as an indicator of RO performance stability. A quantitative approach was applied using industrial operational data obtained from the SCADA system and log sheets from 8 November 2025 to 30 January 2026. Twenty data points under normal operating conditions without cleaning in place (CIP) were analyzed over an inlet-pressure range of 0.57-0.65 MPa and a pH range of 8.32-8.83. Multiple linear regression and coefficient of variation (CV) analysis were used. The results show that inlet pressure significantly affects permeate conductivity (p-value < 0.05) with a positive regression coefficient. Feed pH also has a significant effect (p-value < 0.05), with a negative regression coefficient (−0.5456). Simultaneously, both variables have a significant effect, with a coefficient of determination (R²) of 82.24%. These findings confirm that inlet pressure and feed pH are dominant parameters and should be jointly controlled to maintain stable permeate quality in industrial RO operation.
