Organizational Development in the Era of Digital Transformation
Digital transformation requires organizations not only to adopt advanced technologies but also to strengthen organizational development (OD) capabilities that support effective change management, innovation, and continuous learning. However, there is still limited synthesis of the most relevant OD strategies that enable organizations to become adaptive and sustainable in rapidly changing environments. This study aims to identify and synthesize key organizational development strategies that support digital transformation through a Systematic Literature Review guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework, a structured method for systematically identifying, screening, and analyzing relevant research. The review analyzed 12 peer-reviewed articles published between 2020 and 2024 using thematic analysis. The findings reveal five major strategic themes: strengthening digital capabilities and employee competencies, redesigning technology-supported organizational structures and work processes, integrating human resource management with change-management practices, fostering agile and collaborative organizational cultures, and reinforcing digital leadership. These strategies contribute to improved organizational adaptability, accelerated technology adoption, and sustained innovation. The results indicate that successful digital transformation depends not only on technological investment but also on the development of dynamic capabilities, defined as an organization’s ability to sense opportunities, adapt, and reconfigure internal resources in response to environmental change. This study provides a structured synthesis that can guide organizations, educational institutions, and policymakers in designing effective and sustainable OD initiatives in the digital era.

Application of Principal Component Analysis in Determining the Factors Influence Turnover Intention of Millennial Generation Employees in Medan City
Human resource management is a critical priority that must be continuously enhanced by corporate managers. Effective human resource management is essential for enabling employees to deliver their optimal performance to the company. Conversely, poorly managed employees experience a decline in work motivation and organizational loyalty, which ultimately triggers turnover intention. According to the Deloitte Global Millennial Survey (2019), approximately 49 percent of millennial employees intend to leave their current jobs within the next two years. This study investigates the key factors influencing turnover intention using Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to help companies retain competent human resources and achieve their strategic objectives. The study population comprises millennial employees in Medan City, with a sample of 350 respondents selected via the Lemeshow (1997) technique. Data analysis followed standard PCA procedures, including the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure, Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity, correlation matrix examination, factor extraction, and interpretation. The PCA results successfully reduced eight correlating variables into two distinct components: positive internal factors (Job Resources) and work pressure factors (Job Demands).

Marketing Strategy in Building Brand Image of New Coffee Shop
The increasingly fierce competition in the coffee shop industry demands that businesses, including new coffee shops, implement appropriate marketing strategies to build brand image from the early stages of operation. This study aims to analyze the marketing strategy implemented by KLCR Coffee, a new coffee shop in North Jakarta, and its role in building brand image in the minds of consumers. This study used a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with management and consumers, direct observation, and documentation. Research informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and technique triangulation to ensure data validity. The results show that KLCR Coffee's marketing strategy, which includes product, price, place, and promotion, is still simple and not optimal. However, this strategy plays a role in shaping the initial brand image, especially through product quality and location proximity to the local community. KLCR Coffee's brand image is reflected in the level of brand recognition that is still limited, the brand association as a simple coffee shop, and the perception of quality that is considered appropriate to the price. This research provides practical implications for new coffee shops in formulating consistent marketing strategies as well as academic contributions to marketing studies in small-scale businesses.

Comparison of Public Service Organizations in Bintan Regency and Tanjungpinang City
This study aims to analyze the comparative nature of public service organizations in Bintan Regency and Tanjungpinang City, emphasizing the role conflict between bureaucrats in implementing sustainable public policies. Public organizations play a crucial role as policy implementers, transforming government decisions into public services. However, in practice, role conflict often occurs due to abuse of authority, unclear division of tasks, and differing interests among bureaucratic institutions. This study applies a qualitative approach and descriptive explanatory analysis methods to observe the differences in the characteristics of public service organizations in the two regions. The research findings indicate that variations in organizational structure, bureaucratic capacity, and regional development focus influence the dynamics of role conflict in public policy implementation. Bintan Regency, which focuses on developing the tourism sector, faces challenges in inter-agency coordination related to development policies, while Tanjungpinang City, as the center of government administration, experiences complex bureaucratic coordination for public services. This study explains the significance of role clarity, inter-institutional collaboration, and increasing the capacity of bureaucratic organizations to improve the effectiveness of public policy implementation and the quality of services to the public.

Strategic Role of Self-Management Ability in Mitigating Work Stress and Enhancing Psychological Well-Being among Healthcare Professionals
Psychological well-being is a vital indicator of quality of life for healthcare professionals navigating intense environments, yet the interplay of stress, motivation, and self-regulation remains underexplored in specialized medical settings. This study empirically investigates the partial effects of occupational stress, work motivation, and self-management ability on the psychological well-being of employees at the Eye Hospital of East Kalimantan Province. Employing an explanatory quantitative design, primary data were collected from 57 medical and nursing staff using purposive sampling and a Likert-scale questionnaire. The empirical data were then analyzed utilizing Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Contrary to conventional expectations, the findings reveal that neither occupational stress nor work motivation exhibits a significant partial effect on psychological well-being, indicating that employees rely on developed clinical resilience and require holistic organizational support rather than isolated motivational triggers. Conversely, self-management ability demonstrates a significant positive effect, acting as a crucial psychological buffer against clinical pressures. Theoretically, this research highlights self-regulation competence as a more dominant predictor of mental stability compared to motivation or the mere absence of stressors. Managerially, the findings suggest a paradigm shift for healthcare administrators, emphasizing the need to prioritize comprehensive work ecosystems and self-management capacity building to sustainably enhance human resource resilience.

The Effect of Average School Age, Per Capita GDP and Unemployment on Absolute Poverty in Meranti Island Regency
This study aims to analyze the effect of average years of schooling, per capita GRDP, and unemployment on absolute poverty in the Meranti Regency Islands, both simultaneously and partially. The study is motivated by the relatively high poverty rate and fluctuating socio-economic conditions in the region. This research employs a quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis with the assistance of EViews software. The data used are secondary time series data from 2010–2024 obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS). The analysis includes classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity) and statistical tests such as t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results indicate that, simultaneously, average years of schooling, per capita GRDP, and unemployment have a significant effect on absolute poverty in the Meranti Regency Islands. Partially, average years of schooling and per capita GRDP have a negative and significant effect on poverty, implying that improvements in education and income levels can reduce poverty. Meanwhile, unemployment has a positive and significant effect on poverty, indicating that higher unemployment increases poverty levels. These variables collectively explain a substantial proportion of the variation in poverty within the model.

The Effect of Capital Structure and Dividend Policy on Firm Value
This study analyzes the effect of capital structure and dividend policy on firm value with financial performance as a mediating variable in food and beverage sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2022–2024 period. The objective of this research is to examine both the direct and indirect effects among the variables. This study employs a quantitative research approach using secondary data obtained from 16 companies selected through purposive sampling. Data analysis was conducted using SmartPLS 4. The results indicate that capital structure does not have a direct effect on firm value but has a positive effect on financial performance. Dividend policy has a negative effect on firm value but does not affect financial performance. Financial performance has a positive and highly significant effect on firm value. Furthermore, financial performance fully mediates the relationship between capital structure and firm value but does not mediate the relationship between dividend policy and firm value. In conclusion, profitability plays a crucial role in enhancing firm value.

A Juridical Analysis of the Elements of Intentionality and Negligence in Criminal Acts
This research aims to legally examine the elements of intentionality and negligence in criminal acts as the basis for a person's criminal responsibility. The main problem in this study is how the concepts of intentionality and negligence are understood in criminal law and how they are applied in criminal justice practice. This research uses a normative legal research method with a literature study approach, namely by examining various sources such as laws and regulations, opinions of criminal law experts, and court decisions related to the research topic. The results of the study show that intentionality and negligence have quite fundamental differences in determining the fault of the perpetrators of criminal acts. Intentionality occurs when a person commits an act with the will or awareness that his act may cause consequences that are prohibited by law. Meanwhile, negligence occurs when a person is not careful or ignores the obligation to act carefully so as to cause harm or adverse consequences to others. The difference between the two elements affects the evidentiary process in court, the determination of whether or not the elements of the criminal act are met, and the severity of the criminal sanctions imposed. Therefore, the precise determination of whether an act was committed intentionally or due to negligence is essential to ensure justice, legal certainty, and the application of proportionate punishment in the criminal justice system.

Legal Review of the Transfer of Fiduciary Guarantee Objects and the Legal Responsibilities of Creditors-Debtors
Fiduciary security plays a central role in modern security transactions by allowing creditors to obtain enforceable ownership rights over movable assets, while debtors retain physical possession of the collateral. The effectiveness of fiduciary security depends not only on the creation of enforceable ownership rights in the event of default but also on the clear allocation of legal liability between the debtor and creditor when the pledged assets are transferred to another party. The transfer of fiduciary security objects gives rise to complex legal issues regarding the continuity of ownership rights. This article discusses: (1) how fiduciary security generates enforceable ownership rights in security transactions; and (2) how the responsibilities of the debtor and creditor toward the fiduciary security object shift when it is transferred to another party. This study employs a doctrinal legal research method, combining a statutory approach to analyze the normative framework of fiduciary security with a conceptual approach to examine ownership rights and debtor-creditor liability, as well as the judicial interpretation of Law Number 42 of 1999 concerning Fiduciary Security, specifically Constitutional Court Decision No. 18/PUU-XVII/2019 and Constitutional Court Decision No. 2/PUU-XIX/2021.

Analysis of the Impact of Low Self-Confidence on Early Childhood Social Development
This study aims to examine the effect of low self-confidence on the social development of early childhood at TK Tri Kusumo. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed to analyze the relationship between low self-confidence (X) and children’s social development (Y). The sample consisted of 25 children aged 4–6 years selected through total sampling. Data were collected using observation and structured questionnaires based on predefined indicators of both variables. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Product Moment correlation test. The findings revealed that the level of low self-confidence among children was relatively high, as indicated by behaviors such as shyness, hesitation in speaking, and reluctance to perform in front of others. Meanwhile, children’s social development was found to be suboptimal, particularly in communication, interaction, and cooperation skills. The correlation analysis showed a coefficient value of r = -0.67, indicating a strong negative relationship between low self-confidence and social development. This suggests that higher levels of low self-confidence are associated with lower levels of social development. Therefore, enhancing children’s self-confidence through supportive learning environments and appropriate stimulation from teachers and parents is essential to optimize their social development.

The Construction of Early Childhood Responsibility in Recognizing Personal Needs through Toilet Training Habits in Early Childhood Education Institutions (PAUD)
This study aims to analyze the development of responsibility in early childhood in recognizing their own needs through the habituation of toilet training in early childhood education institutions. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method conducted on 10 children aged 4–5 years at TK Negeri Pembina, Pringkuku District. Data were collected through observations and interviews with the principal, teachers, and parents. The data were analyzed using data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by source and technique triangulation. The results show that structured and consistent toilet training can develop children’s responsibility in recognizing their own needs. Children begin to demonstrate the ability to recognize bodily signals, express their needs, and independently go to the toilet. Supporting factors include teacher consistency, a conducive environment, and collaboration with parents. Meanwhile, inhibiting factors include differences in parenting styles and a lack of consistency in habituation at home. Therefore, toilet training not only plays a role in fostering independence but also serves as an effective means of building responsibility in early childhood.

Utilization of Loose Parts Media in Enhancing Early Childhood Creativity
Early childhood is considered a golden age, a phase that occurs only once in human development. Therefore, it should serve as a fundamental period that significantly influences an individual’s future growth and development into adulthood. One of the most essential competencies for young children in the 21st century is creativity. Creativity itself refers to a higher-order thinking capacity that reflects an advancement in cognitive processes, characterized by continuity, discontinuity, variation, and integration across developmental stages. It is the ability to produce something new or generate innovation. Children’s creativity can be measured through several indicators that need to be encouraged, based on theories of early childhood creativity. These include: the capacity to produce forms or ideas, a high level of curiosity, the ability to create independently without assistance, the ability to answer simple questions, and a sense of responsibility toward assigned tasks. A child’s continuously developing creative thinking ability will lead to the generation of ideas, the formation of relevant connections, the development of imagination, and the ability to view problems from multiple perspectives. Creativity is not exclusive to gifted individuals; every person has the potential to be creative when provided with an appropriate environment.

The Role of Family and School Environments in Early Childhood Vegetable Consumption Practices from a Sociocultural Perspective
Vegetable consumption in early childhood is a crucial factor influencing children’s cognitive and physical development. For kindergarten-aged children (4–6 years), vegetable intake affects not only their physical health but also their mental well-being, intelligence, immune system, and social interactions with peers. Research by the Indonesian Ministry of Health indicates that 93.5% of children in Indonesia still have insufficient vegetable consumption. This percentage is based on a survey showing that consuming fewer than five servings of vegetables per day is categorized as low. This study aims to identify the role of family and school environments in shaping vegetable consumption practices among early childhood students at PAMARDI PUTRA Kindergarten from a sociocultural perspective using a quantitative model. The population was selected through proportionate stratified random sampling, consisting of 17 students and their parents, as well as 3 teachers. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to each participant and anthropometric measurements to determine Body Mass Index (BMI) as an indicator of students’ nutritional status. The results show that the coefficient of determination (R²) indicates that mothers’ attitudes explain approximately 98.6% of the variation in children’s nutritional status, while teachers’ attitudes account for 75.3%. The remaining variation is influenced by other factors, such as children’s behavior, family economic conditions, availability of time for mothers and teachers, genetics, and household eating culture.

The Effectiveness of WDEP (Wants, Doing, Evaluation, Planning) Reality Counseling Model Career Decision-Making Difficulties in Grade XII Students at PGRI Vocational School
The confusion of the five vocational high school students in determining their career direction is divided into three main categories, namely lack of readiness, lack of information, and inconsistent information. Based on the observation results, the five students showed significant hesitation when asked by the intern about their study and career plans, and did not immediately provide answers when asked directly. This study aims to test the effectiveness of reality counseling using the WDEP (wants, doing, evaluating, planning) model in dealing with career decision-making difficulties of grade XII students of SMK PGRI supported by pre-test and post-test. This research is compiled based on a report presented in the form of a scientific article with participants consisting of five grade XII students of SMK PGRI, identities are disguised to maintain confidentiality and research ethics. The reality counseling intervention of the WDEP (wants, doing, evaluating, planning) model includes an understanding of career decision-making. The results of the study showed that when supported by assessment and intervention, the entire series of assessments (observation, CDMDQ questionnaire, FGD, IST–RMIB–16PF psychological test) and group counseling intervention with a Reality approach (WDEP), it can be concluded that five students (AAF, AM, ARK, FDH, and IPH) experienced difficulties in making career decisions in the high category before the intervention. This obstacle is reflected in low psychological readiness, minimal information about themselves and the career world, and the inconsistency of information from the social environment.

Analysis of The Impact of Late Arrival at School on The Focus Of Early Childhood
Delayed attendance at the Early Childhood Education (ECE) level is often regarded as merely an administrative issue, whereas it has the potential to disrupt children’s cognitive stability during the golden age. This study aims to analyze the impact of lateness on children’s learning focus at TK Negeri Pembina Ngadirojo. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a purposive sampling technique, the study focuses observations on two subjects with the highest levels of lateness. The research findings, obtained through a questionnaire instrument, indicate that lateness is predominantly influenced by internal factors (scores 12–15), such as poor time management due to gadget use, compared to external factors (scores 6–8). Observational findings confirm that lateness triggers a phenomenon of “attention interruption,” in which children lose the momentum of initial apperception, resulting in reduced concentration throughout the learning process. This study contributes to the development of score-based intervention strategies for ECE educators to mitigate dysfunctions in domestic routines from an early stage.
