Chotib mawaridi05@gmail.com Nikmatul Masruroh mawaridi05@gmail.com <p>This article aims to explore and understand the role and empowerment of communities in the creative economy sector, focusing on their ability to further develop through the enhancement of existing skills. The role and empowerment of the community are carried out as an effort to improve the quality of community welfare through the creative economy, which includes family welfare, empowering the poor, elevating the dignity of the lower-class society, and positioning the community as the subject in taking action. Village communities, with their limited knowledge in living the activities of the creative economy as small businesses in the traditional sector, face limited infrastructure and governmental access, which becomes one of the inhibiting factors for the development and growth of the economy at both regional and national levels in general. Furthermore, maqashid shariah is used as a perspective in observing the implementation of the creative economy, where Islam has guaranteed the right to life for everyone in the same position by establishing fundamental elements in the shari'ah guidelines, namely the preservation of religion, life, lineage, wealth, and intellect. This research used the literature study method, which was a method used by the author to collect several books or journals related to the research theme. Thus, the literature study was a research method conducted by using books, journals, and other literature as reading materials, notes, and sources of information in researching to provide answers to the problems that were studied.</p> 2025-05-14T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Novi Izzah Mawaridi, Moch.

Drawing on Social Exchange Theory, it addresses a gap in the literature by integrating spiritual and professional dimensions unique to religious travel services. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey was administered to 300 employees, of which 280 valid responses were retained. Constructs included workspace design, leadership style, peer relations, supportive facilities, training and development, and work-life balance, measured via a six-point Likert scale. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4.0. Results indicate that the overall work-environment construct exerts a strong, positive, and significant effect on performance (β = 0.654, t = 10.021, p &lt; 0.001), explaining 42.8% of its variance (R² = 0.428). Sub-dimension analysis highlights transformational leadership and peer relations as key drivers of performance, while ergonomic and spiritual facilities contribute to employee well-being and task effectiveness. High composite reliability and validity metrics confirm the robustness of the measurement model. Practical recommendations for HR managers include optimizing physical design, fostering team cohesion, providing dedicated worship and rest spaces, and enhancing leadership training. Limitations include the cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported data; future research should adopt longitudinal and mixed-methods approaches, and extend comparisons across multiple countries.</p> 2025-05-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Indra Utama, Asri Laksmi Riani https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esmb/article/view/582 Analysis of Public Service Innovation from Competition at the Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia in 2020-2023 2025-05-29T06:02:53+00:00 Ismi Despi Ariza Putri ismidespi248@gmail.com Siska Noviaristanti siskamarhen@telkomuniversity.ac.id <p>Public service innovation is the government's main focus in an effort to make it easier for the public to access information, especially through digital transformation that can provide benefits for both the public and the government itself. The Ministry of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia (Ministry of PANRB) plays a role as a leading sector in encouraging the realization of public service innovation, one of which is through holding an annual competition that aims to motivate ministries, institutions, local governments, BUMN, and BUMD to continue to create service innovations. This study aims to identify various forms of public service innovation in Indonesia based on type, results, policy sectors, and geographical location, as well as to provide theoretical contributions and practical benefits for optimizing equitable public services. Using qualitative methods with data collection techniques through document archives from the 2020–2023 public service innovation competition, the study found that district governments are the dominant actors, while BUMN participation is still low, with innovation concentrated in Java and dominated by the public service, health, and governance sectors. Although technology and social innovations are growing rapidly, aspects of governance and inclusion are still lacking, so it is recommended to strengthen regional capacity, increase BUMN participation, improve innovation replication, and integrate social dimensions. Further research needs to focus on evaluating impacts, regional disparities, and internal organizational factors to strengthen the effectiveness of public service innovation as a whole.</p> 2025-05-31T00:00:00+00:00 Copyright (c) 2025 Ismi Despi Ariza Putri, Siska Noviaristanti https://esj.eastasouth-institute.com/index.php/esmb/article/view/503 The Role of Work Environment, Workplace Ownership, and Job Insecurity on Barista Work Engagement in Ciamis Regency 2025-05-19T02:57:50+00:00 Indi Ramadhani vivi.indah@unsil.ac.id Vivi Indah Bintari vivi.indah@unsil.ac.id Nisa Noor Wahid vivi.indah@unsil.ac.id Desiana Desiana vivi.indah@unsil.ac.id <p>Along with the proliferation of coffee shops and coffee businesses, the barista profession is increasingly necessary and trending.
