TL;DR: This study examines the role of sports sociology in social life, revealing sport's influence on individual character formation, social cohesion, and collective identity, while also highlighting its potential to reflect and perpetuate social inequality and bias.
Abstract: Sport is not only understood as a physical activity, but also as a social phenomenon that influences interaction patterns, identity formation, and societal structures. This article aims to analyze the role of the sociology of sport in social life at the individual and group levels. The research uses a descriptive qualitative method through a literature review that examines various academic sources related to the social dynamics in sport practices. The results of the study indicate that at the individual level, sport plays a role in character formation, value socialization, and the development of social and emotional competencies such as discipline, cooperation, and sportsmanship. At the group and community level, sport functions as a medium for social cohesion, forming collective identity, and uniting multicultural societies. However, sport also reflects social inequality, commercialization, gender bias, and power relations as explained through Bourdieu's theoretical perspective. On the other hand, sport has transformative potential as an instrument of empowerment and social development when managed inclusively and equitably. Thus, a sociological understanding of sport is important in formulating sports policies and programs that can strengthen solidarity, foster individual character, and support social development.
TL;DR: This qualitative study explores Muslim minority students' perspectives on religious differences in a school environment, revealing five themes: ambivalence, interfaith dynamics, school support, teacher roles, and unequal acceptance, highlighting the importance of institutional support and social interaction in fostering tolerance.
Abstract: This research aims to explore the Muslim minority's perspective on religious differences in the SMAN 1 environment. The research method used is a phenomenological qualitative research method with semi-structured interview techniques and participant observation, the number of informants is two people, one man and one woman who were chosen purposively. Data analysis using the Miles & Huberman interactive model. The research results show five main themes: (1) ambivalent perceptions of diversity, (2) dynamics of interfaith interactions, (3) school support for religious activities, (4) variations in the role of teachers in building tolerance, and (5) expressions of religious identity that are not always accepted equally. These findings confirm that tolerance in schools is formed through social interaction, the role of teachers, and institutional culture. This research shows that students' experiences in interacting with religious diversity in schools are complex and influenced by social dynamics that occur in daily activities. Students generally understand that diversity is part of school life, but their perceptions and experiences vary, ranging from a sense of comfort and mutual respect to tension during discussions related to religion. These findings emphasize that tolerance is not formed automatically in a diverse environment, but is a process that requires institutional support, healthy social relations, and the role of teachers in socializing diversity.

TL;DR: This qualitative study explores the impact of digitalization on organizational culture and employee relationships at BKPSDM Kota Gunungsitoli, revealing a shift towards efficiency, standardization, and flexibility, with mixed results on collaboration and face-to-face interactions.
Abstract: Penelitian ini mengeksplorasi bagaimana digitalisasi membentuk budaya organisasi dan hubungan pegawai pada Badan Kepegawaian dan Pengembangan Sumber Daya Manusia (BKPSDM) Kota Gunungsitoli. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif studi kasus (Februari–Juli 2025), data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam (Kepala BKPSDM, Kepala Bidang Perencanaan, Mutasi, dan Informasi Kepegawaian, serta tiga Analis SDM Aparatur) dan observasi non-partisipan. Analisis memakai Interactive Model (kondensasi–display–verifikasi). Hasil menunjukkan pergeseran budaya menuju efisiensi, standardisasi, dan fleksibilitas; proses menjadi lebih terukur melalui prosedur dan monitoring berbasis sistem. Pada ranah relasi kerja, temuan bersifat “campuran”: kolaborasi dan visibilitas kinerja meningkat lewat sistem, namun interaksi tatap muka cenderung menurun sehingga perlu ruang informal terjadwal untuk menjaga kepercayaan dan kohesi. Perubahan ditopang oleh dukungan pimpinan dan praktik berbagi pengetahuan, tetapi terhambat oleh kesenjangan literasi digital (khususnya pegawai senior), gangguan jaringan/server, serta fragmentasi aplikasi/akun. Implikasi praktis meliputi konsolidasi aplikasi/SSO, penguatan infrastruktur dan rencana downtime, serta pengembangan kapasitas berjenjang (micro-learning, pendampingan on-the-job, dan mentoring sebaya). Secara konseptual, studi ini menegaskan pentingnya keselarasan sosio-teknikal dan keseimbangan JD–R dalam menentukan kualitas keterlibatan dan relasi kerja di organisasi perangkat daerah.

Recommendations are made for village governments to improve the capacity of officials, expand digital budget publication, and encourage community participation as part of social oversight to strengthen village financial governance sustainably.
TL;DR: This study examines the impact of organizational culture and leadership style on employee well-being at KOMAS Cabang Lolomatua, a Bumi Putera Cooperative, finding significant positive effects of both factors on employee well-being, with leadership style having a slightly stronger contribution.
Abstract: Penelitian ini menguji pengaruh budaya organisasi dan gaya kepemimpinan terhadap kesejahteraan karyawan pada KSP Masyarakat Bumi Putera (KOMAS) Cabang Lolomatua. Kesenjangan riset pada konteks koperasi—yang menekankan asas kekeluargaan—menjadi dasar penting untuk melihat bagaimana kedua faktor organisasi ini bekerja secara parsial maupun simultan. Desain penelitian adalah survei potong lintang pada n = 35 karyawan dengan kuesioner skala Likert. Instrumen diuji melalui validitas item–total dan reliabilitas (α gabungan = 0,866; α budaya = 0,761; α kepemimpinan = 0,688; α kesejahteraan = 0,643). Analisis regresi linier berganda menunjukkan model signifikan (F = 12,441; p < 0,001) dengan R² ≈ 0,40. Secara parsial, budaya organisasi berpengaruh positif signifikan terhadap kesejahteraan (B = 0,544; t = 3,533; p < 0,05) dan gaya kepemimpinan juga berpengaruh positif signifikan (B = 0,370; t = 3,075; p < 0,05). Pada koefisien baku, kontribusi kepemimpinan (β = 0,404) sedikit lebih kuat dibanding budaya (β = 0,398). Temuan menegaskan bahwa penguatan kesejahteraan karyawan paling efektif ditempuh melalui intervensi ganda: penajaman misi–nilai dan konsistensi norma (budaya), serta praktik kepemimpinan suportif (coaching, umpan balik, keadilan, dan keteladanan). Keterbatasan riset mencakup desain potong lintang dan lokasi tunggal; studi longitudinal multi-sumber dianjurkan untuk menguji mediator (mis. keterlibatan kerja) dan moderator (masa kerja, beban kerja).
TL;DR: This study examines the integration of multicultural values in maintaining social harmony in Sangatta, East Kutai, a culturally and religiously diverse area, highlighting the importance of interfaith interactions, community cooperation, and education in fostering harmony amidst challenges.
Abstract: This study aims to examine the integration of multicultural values in maintaining social harmony amid cultural and religious diversity in Sangatta, East Kutai. Sangatta is recognised as a multicultural area inhabited by various ethnic groups and adherents of different religions, making it essential to understand how its community preserves social cohesion in daily life. The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach. The findings reveal that harmony in Sangatta is fostered through interreligious and intercultural social interactions, community cooperation (gotong royong), early education on tolerance, community deliberation, and open communication. However, several challenges persist, including limited interaction among specific ethnic or religious groups, the lack of informal intercultural activities, and low youth participation in interfaith engagements. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the roles of social institutions such as the Interfaith Harmony Forum (FKUB), increase youth involvement, and organise sustainable intercultural programs. These efforts are vital to reinforcing the foundations of harmony and positioning Sangatta as a model for peaceful multicultural coexistence
TL;DR: This study examines the impact of cyberbullying through Instagram's Story feature on Gen Z students' mental health in Denpasar, finding that it triggers stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression, while also highlighting the platform's potential for positive self-expression and social connections.
Abstract: This study aims to analyze the impact of cyberbullying through the Instagram Story feature on the mental health of Generation Z students in Denpasar. The rapid advancement of technology and the increasing use of social media have significantly changed the patterns of communication and social interaction among young people. Instagram, as one of the most popular platforms among Gen Z, offers the Story feature that allows users to share daily activities quickly and openly. However, this convenience is often misused for negative actions such as ridicule, sarcasm, or the spread of harmful information. This research employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method by examining various relevant previous studies. The findings indicate that cyberbullying through Instagram Story can trigger psychological problems such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. Moreover, social pressure to appear perfect on social media exacerbates students’ mental health conditions. Nevertheless, Instagram also has positive potential when used wisely as a medium for self-expression, information sharing, and strengthening social connections. Therefore, increasing digital literacy, promoting ethical social media behavior, and encouraging the active role of universities and the government are essential to create a healthy and safe digital environment for the younger generation
TL;DR: This study evaluates the competence and training of human resources at the Gunungsitoli Disaster Management Agency, assessing their preparedness for multi-disaster scenarios in a regional island area, highlighting gaps in ICS implementation and training design.
Abstract: Penelitian ini mengevaluasi kompetensi dan pelatihan sumber daya manusia pada Badan Penanggulangan Bencana Daerah (BPBD) Kota Gunungsitoli, wilayah kepulauan dengan paparan multi-bencana. Menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif studi kasus, data dikumpulkan melalui wawancara mendalam, observasi, dan analisis dokumen, lalu dianalisis dengan model interaktif Miles–Huberman. Hasil menunjukkan kompetensi dasar (orientasi SOP, ketepatan waktu, koordinasi) telah terbentuk, namun konsistensi penerapan Sistem Komando Insiden (ICS) dan dokumentasi logistik belum seragam antarbidang. Desain pelatihan dinilai relevan dengan konteks lokal, tetapi porsi simulasi (table-top exercise=TTX) lintas-instansi dan pendalaman modul posisi-spesifik ICS-200 masih terbatas sehingga konversi pengetahuan ke keterampilan lapangan belum optimal. Transfer pembelajaran (Kirkpatrick Level-3) tampak pada keteraturan briefing, pemakaian checklist, dan kejelasan peran; sementara dampak proses (Level-4) mulai terlihat pada percepatan alur informasi dan pengurangan handover, meski indikator proses belum distandardisasi. Kendala utama meliputi rotasi pegawai, keterbatasan anggaran/sarpras, materi yang masih umum, serta evaluasi pascapelatihan yang belum konsisten menilai L3–L4. Studi ini merekomendasikan paket minimum ICS (struktur peran, briefing checklist, formulir inti/arsip logistik yang sederhana), peningkatan TTX berbasis skenario lokal, pengembangan modul ICS-200 posisi-spesifik yang hands-on, penetapan indikator proses (mis. time-to-brief, time-to-deploy, fill-rate logistik, kelengkapan ICS-201/214), dan integrasi pelaporan cepat ke arsip resmi untuk memperkuat ketangguhan organisasi.

TL;DR: This study examines consumer preferences for price and taste at Gultik Blok M, Jakarta, using a conjoint analysis approach, finding that service quality and price perception significantly influence purchasing decisions, with consistent quality and affordability key to customer retention.
Abstract: This study aims to explore the effect of service quality and price perception on consumer purchasing decisions at Gultik Blok M, a well-known street food destination in South Jakarta. The research adopts a quantitative approach, using a questionnaire distributed to respondents who have purchased food from the vendors at Gultik. The findings indicate that both service quality and price perception play a significant role in shaping consumer decisions. Service quality, reflected in promptness, friendliness, and cleanliness, is found to influence consumer trust and satisfaction. Meanwhile, competitive pricing and perceived value for money also encourage repeat purchases. The results support the notion that consistent quality and affordability are key factors in customer retention within the informal culinary sector. These findings have implications for micro-entrepreneurs and street vendors, suggesting the need to focus on improving service standards and maintaining fair pricing to strengthen customer loyalty in competitive urban food markets
