2026-01-26T03:09:47+00:00

Organizational Citizenship Behavior (OCB) is widely recognized as a critical determinant of institutional performance in higher education. However, empirical evidence examining the simultaneous influence of organizational commitment and subjective wellbeing on lecturers’ OCB in Indonesian public universities remains limited. This study aims to analyze the relationship between organizational commitment and subjective wellbeing with organizational citizenship behavior among lecturers. A quantitative research method was employed. The population in this study comprised lecturers at Manado State University, and the research sample was selected using a simple random sampling technique based on Krejcie’s table, resulting in a sample size of 260 lecturers. The data collection instruments consisted of scales that had been tested for validity and reliability. The measurement tools used in this study were the Organizational Citizenship Behavior Scale, the Organizational Commitment Scale, and the Subjective Wellbeing Scale. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to determine the effect of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The results revealed that organizational commitment and subjective wellbeing had a significant effect on organizational citizenship behavior, indicating that the hypothesis was supported. The stronger the organizational commitment and subjective wellbeing, the higher the organizational citizenship behavior of lecturers at Manado State University. These findings have important practical implications for higher education management, suggesting that university leadership should prioritize programs that enhance lecturers’ emotional attachment to the institution and their overall psychological wellbeing as a means of fostering greater prosocial workplace behavior and, ultimately, improving the quality of higher education delivery.

Islamic Religious Education Learning Model In Developing Tolerance Attitudes: A Systematic Literature Review (SLR)

2026-01-26T03:12:15+00:00

The development of tolerance among students has become an increasingly urgent educational priority in pluralistic societies, yet the effectiveness of existing pedagogical approaches in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) remains insufficiently synthesized and critically evaluated. This study aims to identify and analyze various models of Islamic Religious Education (PAI) learning that contribute to the development of students’ tolerance through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach. The review examined ten articles published between 2019 and 2025 in Scopus-, DOAJ-, and Sinta-indexed journals that are relevant to Islamic education and religious moderation. The findings indicate that inclusive, dialogical, reflective, and culturally responsive learning models are effective in fostering tolerance, empathy, and respect for diversity among learners. Approaches such as authentic learning and intercultural philosophy significantly contribute to shaping moderate character and strengthening the values of Rahmatan lil ‘Alamin within educational settings. Furthermore, reconstructing the Islamic Religious Education curriculum based on universal humanistic values is essential to reduce the dominance of cognitive aspects and to emphasize affective and social dimensions. This study concludes that pedagogical innovation in PAI must continuously evolve to address multicultural challenges in the global era and reinforce Islamic education as an instrument for nurturing a tolerant, moderate, and morally grounded generation.

Analysis of Construction Claim Solutions in Bali Tourism Projects

2026-01-26T03:10:40+00:00

Tourism projects have experienced significant growth in Bali since 2023, driven by the post-pandemic recovery in international tourist arrivals. However, the construction process of these projects frequently encounters claim-related challenges due to the complexity of project management involving multiple stakeholders. To provide effective solutions for handling construction claims, empirical research is essential to comprehensively understand the dynamics of claim occurrences in tourism projects. This research employed a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative analysis using Weighted Average (WA) and Relative Importance Index (RII) formulas with qualitative Focus Group Discussion (FGD) to identify the significance of claim types and causes, as well as to formulate practical solutions. Survey data were collected from 55 construction professionals comprising owners, contractors, and consultants involved in tourism projects across Bali. The quantitative analysis revealed that Variation Order (VO) with RII 0.81 emerged as the most prevalent claim type in the studied projects, while change of scope of works with RII 0.75 was identified as the primary cause of claims occurrence. The FGD session, involving seven experienced practitioners, produced a consensus that negotiating and mediating are preferred claim resolution methods rather than arbitration and litigation due to time and resource consumption considerations. Furthermore, the FGD concluded that engaging a third-party consultant could significantly contribute to verifying and mediating during the claim process, thereby reducing potential disputes and facilitating more efficient claim resolution. These findings provide practical implications for stakeholders in Bali's tourism construction sector to anticipate, manage, and resolve claims more effectively.
