In the dynamic landscape of modern business, organizations are increasingly recognizing the pivotal role of human capital in driving sustainable growth and competitive advantage. This study delves into the intricate relationship between psychological empowerment, knowledge management readiness, and their combined impact on organizational business performance. It further examines the mediating role of micro-innovation in this relationship, shedding light on how these factors interact to foster innovation and enhance overall performance. A quantitative research methodology was employed, involving a survey of 250 employees across diverse industries. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was utilized to analyze the data and test the hypothesized relationships between the variables. The findings of this study reveal a significant positive relationship between psychological empowerment and knowledge management readiness. Both psychological empowerment and knowledge management readiness were found to have a direct positive impact on organizational business performance. Moreover, micro-innovation was identified as a significant mediator in this relationship, indicating that it plays a crucial role in channeling the effects of psychological empowerment and knowledge management readiness towards improved business performance. This research underscores the importance of fostering a psychologically empowering work environment and cultivating knowledge management readiness within organizations. By nurturing these factors, organizations can stimulate micro-innovation, which in turn drives organizational business performance. The implications of these findings for managers and practitioners are discussed, along with recommendations for future research directions.

Workload is an important factor that can influence employee performance. Excessive workload can cause stress and fatigue, which can reduce employee performance. On the other hand, motivation can be a determining factor in improving employee performance. High motivation can encourage employees to work harder and be more productive. This research aims to determine and analyze the effect of workload on performance by mediating motivation among Banjarmasin City Land Office Employees. This research method uses a questionnaire of 40 Banjarmasin City Land Office employees as samples and the sampling technique used is purposive sampling with judgment sampling type. Data analysis uses the SEM-PLS (Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Square) method which is processed with the SmartPLS Program. The results of this research conclude that the workload variable has a significant negative effect on the performance variable, the workload variable has a significant positive effect on the motivation variable, the motivation variable has a significant positive effect on the performance variable, and the workload variable has a significant positive effect on the performance variable with the mediation of the motivation variable.

This article describes three key issues in the global geopolitical context: the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, Indonesia's role as president of the G20 Summit, and the challenges faced in addressing both. The conflict between Ukraine and Russia has been a source of international tension since 2014, with far-reaching consequences for regional and global stability. Meanwhile, Indonesia, as president of the G20 Summit, is faced with the important task of facilitating dialogue between member states in addressing global economic issues, including the prolonged impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using content analysis research methods and in-depth interviews with the Ukrainian Ambassador and the Russian Ambassador, this research addresses the key challenge for Indonesia of playing an effective mediation role in the Ukraine-Russia conflict while promoting economic cooperation and global justice. The solution to this challenge requires active cooperation between G20 member states and a focus on inclusive economic recovery and sustainable peace.

Emotional intelligence and work-life balance are important factors that can influence employee organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). OCB refers to voluntary employee behavior that is not required in the job description but is beneficial to the organization. Job satisfaction is also believed to be a mediator that connects these variables. This research uses a quantitative design with survey methods. A total of 60 employees of PT. PLN (Persero) UP2D South and Central Kalimantan was the research respondent. Data was collected via a Likert questionnaire and analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0. The research results show that emotional intelligence has a significant positive effect on OCB. Work-life balance does not have a significant effect on OCB. Job satisfaction does not have a significant effect on OCB. Emotional intelligence has a significant positive effect on job satisfaction. Work-life balance does not have a significant effect on job satisfaction. Job satisfaction does not mediate the influence of emotional intelligence and work-life balance on OCB. In conclusion, emotional intelligence has a positive influence on OCB and job satisfaction, while work-life balance and job satisfaction do not show a significant influence. Job satisfaction was not proven to be a mediator in this study.

The aim of the research was to find out teachers' opinions on selected conditions of upbringing and education of 2-year-old children in kindergartens in Slovakia. These may influence decisions about the admission of 2-year-old children to kindergarten and the quality of the conditions of their education. The research method was an online questionnaire, created and processed in SURVIO software. The survey was conducted in spring 2023. 594 kindergarten teachers completed the questionnaire. The results of the research showed that the family and the nursery are preferred for the upbringing and education of 2-year-old children (50.5%). If 2-year-old children are admitted to kindergarten, they must have certain prerequisites and be in a class with their peers (57.1%). They cannot wear diapers in kindergarten (79.7%) and have to cope with separation from parents (78.2%). 2-year-olds can be in kindergarten if a teacher's assistant works in the classroom (61.5%). Teachers (55.4%) do not prefer a health worker or caregiver with 2-year-olds (51%). For pedagogical work with 2-year-old children, teachers only need a secondary education (39.2%), some already have a bachelor's degree (27.2%). The results confirmed the insufficient methodological support of the issue by the state (60.5%) and the importance of the development of information and methodological material in the KEGA project No. 001UMB-4/2022. It will be used by teachers to improve the conditions for the education of two-year-old children in kindergartens in Slovakia.

Environmentally friendly business practices (PBR) are often overlooked by small and medium enterprises (SMEs), even though they are proven to provide competitive advantages, reduce risks, encourage environmental sustainability, and increase organizational efficiency. This research analyzes the factors that influence PBR in local culinary SMEs, with a focus on process performance (PP) and SME resources. This research uses a quantitative approach with structural equation modeling (SEM) to analyze the influence of process performance (PP) and SME resources (fundamental resources (FR), upgrading capability (UC), and dynamic capabilities (DC)) on PBR in local culinary SMEs in North Kuin Village, South Kalimantan. The research results show that only fundamental resources (FR) and improvement capabilities (UC) influence PBR in local culinary SMEs. SMEs with access to resources and the ability to increase capacity have more potential to implement PBR.

The rapid evolution of digital markets necessitates an in-depth understanding of factors influencing the competitive advantage of digital-based SMEs, particularly within the food and beverage sector of Palangka Raya City. This research aims to dissect the roles of digital literacy, customer intimacy, and brand image in shaping the competitive landscape for these businesses. Focusing on owners and managers, the study utilizes a non-probability purposive sampling technique, engaging 106 respondents through questionnaires. Analysis was conducted using the PLS-SEM method against a backdrop of diverse demographics, primarily female entrepreneurs aged 21 to 30 years with varied educational backgrounds, operating micro-businesses for 1 to 5 years. Contrary to expectations, digital literacy did not show a significant impact on competitive advantage, a finding that diverges from common digital strategy assumptions. In contrast, customer intimacy and brand image were positively correlated with increased competitive advantage, highlighting their importance in the digital domain for SMEs in Palangka Raya City. These insights stress the critical need for SMEs to cultivate strong customer relationships and a robust brand presence, overshadowing the direct effects of digital literacy skills. The findings suggest a strategic pivot towards customer-centric and brand-oriented practices could be more beneficial for SMEs aiming for competitive superiority in the digital era. This study underscores the nuanced dynamics of competitive advantage in digital-based SMEs, offering a foundational guide for future strategic orientations.
