THE EFFECTS OF WORK DISCIPLINE, WORK MOTIVATION, AND WORK ENVIRONMENT ON TEACHER PERFORMANCE AT SMA PLUS ASSALAAM BANDUNG
This study aims to evaluate the impact of professional discipline, intrinsic motivation, and workplace conditions on educator productivity at SMA Plus Assalaam Bandung. The basis for this study arose from the discrepancy in teacher performance, which is still less than optimal, as evidenced by the lack of creativity in assignments and signs of disruption in discipline and enthusiasm. The research approach employed quantitative methods that were descriptive and verifiable. The research subjects included all 32 educational staff at SMA Plus Assalaam Bandung, using a total sampling technique. Information processing used multiple linear regression analysis, classical assumption checking, hypothesis testing, and the coefficient of determination. The research findings revealed that separately, professional discipline and intrinsic motivation have a positive and significant effect on educator productivity. However, workplace conditions did not show a significant influence. Together, these three factors contributed a 54.3% impact on educator productivity. The study concluded that to improve educator productivity, school leaders need to prioritize steadfastness in implementing discipline and developing intrinsic motivation.

GAYATRI AS EPISTEMIC METAPHOR: READING GENDER, POWER, AND INFORMAL CONTROL IN HIGHER EDUCATION MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTING
This research is motivated by the need to understand how gender, local culture, and power relations operate beneath the surface of Management Control Systems (MCS) practices in universities, particularly because the dominance of technocratic approaches in the literature has marginalized women’s experiences and cultural symbols such as the Gayatri metaphor. The structural asymmetry in recognizing women’s substantive roles in budgeting reveals an important knowledge gap that requires exploration through a postmodern qualitative approach. This study aims to examine how feminist values and local cultural beliefs influence MCS practices, and how gendered experiences shape meaning and legitimacy within budgetary decision-making processes. Using a qualitative design grounded in a postmodern paradigm and poststructural feminist methodology, the study treats data as discursive constructions produced through interaction rather than objective facts. The analysis employs a deconstructive approach that reads narrative fragments, contradictions, and silences within interviews and documents to uncover the production of meaning and power relations. The findings show that women hold technical-substantive roles in preparing TOR, budget plans (RAB), and activity-based budgeting (RBA), yet remain positioned beneath the symbolic authority of male leaders; that shadow leadership emerges as a dominant pattern enabling women to exercise control without formal legitimacy; and that female leadership introduces control practices that are more deliberative, collaborative, and sensitive to social consequences. These results demonstrate that MCS operates not through formal rationality, but through discursive struggles that construct subjects, meanings, and hierarchical decision structures. The study concludes by emphasizing the need for gender-sensitive and culturally contextual readings of MCS and recommends further exploration of control models grounded in local cultural values.

EVALUATION OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GOVERNMENT PURCHASE PRICE GRATITUDE ABSORPTION PROGRAM IN XXX DISTRICT, ACEH PROVINCE
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of the Government Purchase Price (HPP) policy in XXX Regency, a rice production center in Aceh Province. The method used in this study is the Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA) approach to assess farmer satisfaction and perceptions of the Government Purchase Price policy. The results show that most indicators have a high level of importance and performance, such as the availability of fertilizers and pesticides, land productivity, facilities and infrastructure, the availability of extension workers, and government program support. These factors are the main strengths that need to be maintained to maintain the sustainability of farming businesses. However, several important aspects were also found to have low performance, such as the price of grain according to the Government Purchase Price, transparency and speed of absorption by Bulog, access to financing, and suboptimal farmer institutions. This indicates the need for more attention to the agricultural marketing system and empowerment of farmer institutions to improve the welfare and competitiveness of farmers in XXX Regency.

INTEGRATION OF HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT TO MINIMIZE CORE EMPLOYEE TURNOVER AT COFFEE SHOP
The coffee shop industry faces the challenge of high employee turnover intentions that can affect operational stability and service quality. This study aims to analyze human resource (HR) management practices implemented at Coffee Shop X, identify the dominant factors causing employee turnover intentions, and formulate an integrated HR management system through benchmarking with Coffee Shop Y. The study used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques in the form of in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study indicate that Coffee Shop X has implemented a formal HR management system based on SOPs and KPIs, covering recruitment, training, performance appraisals, compensation, and termination of employment. However, turnover intentions still arise due to workload pressure during peak hours, limited compensation, and the need to strengthen the continuous evaluation and employee development system. Benchmarking with Coffee Shop Y shows that the implementation of continuous performance assessments, direct communication, and a disciplined and adaptive work culture can improve performance consistency and employee retention. Integration of these best practices is recommended to strengthen Coffee Shop X's HR system and reduce employee turnover intentions sustainably.

PROCESSING JACKFRUIT SEED WASTE (Artocarpus heterophyllus lamk) INTO AN ALTERNATIVE FOOD SOURCE FOR TEMPE
This study aims to determine how to process jackfruit seeds (Artocarpus heterophyllus lamk) into a food source of tempeh without using soybeans, and to assess its feasibility as an alternative to soybean tempeh. The background of this study is based on Indonesia's high dependence on soybean imports, which causes the price of tempeh raw materials to increase. Jackfruit seeds were chosen because they have high nutritional content such as carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, and minerals, as well as their abundant availability. Which is suitable as a substitute or alternative to jackfruit seeds. This study used a quantitative research method with an experimental approach through the fermentation process of jackfruit seeds using Rhizopus oligosporus yeast. The results showed that jackfruit seed tempeh has good physical and organoleptic characteristics, with a solid shape, soft but compact texture, grayish white color, slightly sweet savory taste, and a distinctive aroma of tempeh. The fermentation process for two days at room temperature (28–32 °C) resulted in even mycelial growth and optimal fermentation. In terms of nutrition, jackfruit seed tempeh contains quite high protein and fiber so it has the potential to be a nutritious and affordable alternative food. Thus, jackfruit seeds have the potential to be a substitute for soybeans in the production of tempeh, while also supporting food diversification and reducing Indonesia's dependence on soybean imports.

THE IMPACT AND EFFORTS TO COMBAT CORRUPTION ON INDONESIA'S ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
Corruption is a social problem that significantly impacts development and the economy in Indonesia. This practice arises from weak morals, weak oversight, a lack of transparency, and a culture of graft and nepotism within the government. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with a literature review approach to analyze the causes, impacts, and efforts to eradicate corruption. The results show that corruption has a significant impact on decreasing public trust in the government, hampering development, and weakening national economic growth. Furthermore, corruption also causes social inequality and a decline in the quality of public services. Efforts to eradicate corruption can be carried out through improvements to the governance system, increased transparency, early anti-corruption education, and firm and consistent law enforcement. With comprehensive measures involving all levels of society, it is hoped that corruption in Indonesia can be reduced, thus enabling development to proceed more effectively and fairly.

HUMAN RESOURCE MANAGEMENT FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGS): A SYSTEMATIC LITERATURE REVIEW
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) mandated by the United Nations demand a global commitment, including from the corporate sector, to achieve social, economic, and environmental targets by 2030. Human Resource Management (HRM) plays a crucial role as the main agent of change in integrating sustainability principles into organizational operations. This research aims to analyze the strategic role of HRM functions ranging from recruitment, training and development, to performance management and compensation in supporting the achievement of the SDGs, particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 5 (Gender Equality), and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). The strategies discussed include the implementation of green skills training programs, equal pay policies, and performance measurement based on social impact. The research findings conclude that the transformation of HRM towards sustainability-focused practices not only enhances corporate image and employee engagement but also directly contributes to the achievement of global sustainable development goals.

THE INFLUENCE OF DIGITAL LITERACY AND SELF-EFFICACY ON DIGITAL ENTREPRENEURSHIP INTENTION WITH GROWTH MINDSET AS A MODERATOR.
The rapid development of digital technology opens up significant opportunities for young people to innovate through digital entrepreneurship. However, unequal digital literacy skills and varying levels of self-efficacy among university students pose challenges in maximizing this potential. This study aims to explore the influence of digital literacy and self-efficacy on digital entrepreneurial intentions, with growth mindset as a moderating variable. Data were collected from 215 university students in Medan and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that growth mindset has a direct positive effect on digital entrepreneurial intentions and moderates the influence of digital literacy and self-efficacy on these intentions. Digital literacy does not show a significant direct effect, while self-efficacy has a negative effect on digital entrepreneurial intentions. These findings emphasize the importance of developing a growth mindset to strengthen students' ability to utilize digital technology and build confidence in facing the challenges of digital entrepreneurship. The practical implications of this study point to the need to integrate growth mindset development into digital literacy programs and entrepreneurship training in higher education.
