Background. Open office layouts are widely adopted to improve communication, collaboration, and work efficiency. However, they can also cause noise, concentration disturbances, and reduced privacy that affect the psychological and social experience of employees. This phenomenon is also found in the administrative room of PT Sun Star Motor Sidoarjo, which integrates several work functions in one open work area.

Research Purpose. This study aims to analyze the application of open office layout in the perspective of employees mental well being and social well being, and its relationship with work implementation.

Research Method. This study used a qualitative approach with a descriptive design. Data were obtained through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving five informants in an open work environment. Data were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing and verification with the help of NVivo, and validity was tested through source and technique triangulation.

Findings. The implementation of open office layout supports communication, coordination, and social interaction, but also presents challenges in the form of noise, distractions, and privacy limitations. These conditions are related to mental well being, especially psychological comfort, concentration, and mental fatigue, as well as social well being through interaction and relationships between employees.

Conclusion. The condition of the workspace is related to the smooth implementation of work and the effectiveness of employee work.

UNMET EDUCATIONAL NEEDS AND SAFETY SIGNALS IN HEALTH SUPPLEMENT USE IN JAKARTA AND WEST JAVA

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Background. Favourable service experience and widespread access to information may coexist with unresolved questions about health supplements.

Research Purpose. To quantify unmatched educational requests, examine the coexistence of positive service experience and safety signals, and translate these findings into a proposed hybrid education design.

Research Method. An exploratory cross-sectional survey included sixty adult supplement users recruited by convenience sampling in Jakarta and West Java. Unmatched requests were topics currently requested but not previously reported as explained. An eleven-item experience mean and three self-reported behaviours, dose escalation, similar-ingredient co-use, and prolonged use without reassessment, were analysed descriptively using within-person matching, Wilson confidence intervals, and sensitivity checks.

Findings. Necessity, product selection, and warning signs were the leading unmatched topics. Equal aggregate receipt and demand for registration information concealed individual mismatches. Positive experience frequently coexisted with behavioural safety signals. Leading priorities persisted after excluding responses exceeding the topic-selection limit. Direct consultation was preferred, with digital channels offering complementary follow-up.

Conclusion. Respondent-level matching reveals educational priorities concealed by aggregate differences. A proposed hybrid pathway combines safety screening, personalised content, checks of understanding, and reassessment. Its effectiveness requires prospective evaluation.

Chandra Murti Dewi Widowati Hermajiwandini, Dio Bimo Saputro, Jaka Sanjaya — Sun, 18 Oct 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Background. Tourism and the creative economy are sectors with significant potential to drive economic growth and improve public welfare, particularly in Banyuwangi Regency, which is designated as a Priority Tourism Destination, or one of the "10 New Balis," under the 2015-2019 National Medium-Term Development Plan (RPJMN).

Research Purpose. This study evaluates public awareness, perceived success, economic benefits and measures community satisfaction of government programs in the tourism and creative economy sectors in Banyuwangi Regency, Indonesia.

Research Method. This study uses a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design with 250 respondents across 25 sub-districts. The analysis combines descriptive summaries of program awareness, perceived success, perceived economic benefits, and information dissemination with the Community Satisfaction Index (CSI) and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA).

Findings. The findings provide an overview of program recognition and public assessment, while the satisfaction analysis identifies service attributes that should be maintained and those requiring improvement. The results can inform more responsive public services and program communication in Banyuwangi Regency.

Conclusion. Positive public perceptions of government programs coexist with uneven program awareness and service attributes that require improvement. This indicates the need to strengthen public communication and prioritize service improvements based on community expectations.
