ABSTRACTThis study was undertaken to 1) analyze the total factor productivity (TFP) in Indonesian agriculture industry through the approach of the Cobb-Douglas production function and 2) analyze the factors that affect the agricultural industry TFP using the error correction model (ECM). The method used is a quantitative method to measure the level of TFP, which is ordinary least square method and the factors that influence TFP by using ECM. The results of the estimation, the variables that significantly affect short-term agricultural industry TFP is gross domestic product, domestic investment, industrial exports (X) and capital imports (M). Therefore, to optimize the productivity of the industrial output, the industry must innovate. In addition, the government should enact policies to encourage the uptake of agricultural industry technology to become more powerful or higher through policies that would support high productivity such as investment and trade.Keywords: cobb-douglas, ECM, industrial agriculture, OLS, TFPABSTRAKPenelitian ini dilakukan untuk 1) menganalisis total factor productivity (TFP) industri pertanian di Indonesia melalui dengan pendekatan fungsi produksi cobb-douglas dan 2) untuk menganalisis faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi TFP industri pertanian menggunakan metode error correction model (ECM).Metode yang digunakan adalah metode kuantitatif untuk mengukur tingkat TFP yaitu metode ordinary least square dan faktor-faktor yang memengaruhi TFP dengan menggunakan metode ECM.

Religious values are contemporary issues associated with employees' behavior in organizations, especially from the Islamic human resource (HR) management view. To address this issue, this study analyzed the influence of Islamic work values on engagement, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and in-role performance of Muslim employees. Considering the potential spread of COVID-19, primary data was collected by distributing online questionnaire via emails and social media to 283 respondents in Makassar City, Indonesia, who fulfilled the predetermined sampling criterion. PLS-SEM was employed to check the measurement and structural models of the SmartPLS 3.0 program. It was revealed that Islamic work values have a significant influence on engagement and job satisfaction and in contrast, insignificant on organizational commitment and employee in-role performance. In addition, a significant interrelationship between the 4 endogenous variables was confirmed, namely engagement, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and in-role performance. Furthermore, it was found that several constructs mediate the correlation between Islamic values and in-role performance. The findings are essential to provide theoretical enrichment for future studies pertaining to the measured Islamic values and HR behavior. Practically, managers are capable to devise and select the most appropriate HR strategies for Muslim employee in a particular organization.

Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis proses pelembagaan Partai Solidaritas Indonesia (PSI) Kota Bandung. Penelitian ini didesain dengan menggunakan metode kualitatif. Bertolak dari kerangka teoritik pelembagaan partai politik, penelitian ini menghasilkan beberapa temuan yang berfokus pada empat derajat pelembagaan. Hasil penelitian memperlihatkan derajat kesisteman (systemness) dalam proses pelembagaan di tubuh PSI Kota Bandung masih jauh dari kata ideal. Faktor-faktor seperti penggunaan aturan, prosedur, dan mekanisme yang disepakati dan ditetapkan dalam konstitusi partai belum mampu diterjemahkan PSI Kota Bandung dalam menajemen keorganisasian. Di level derajat identitas nilai (value infusion), PSI Kota Bandung konsisten mengusung nilai yang menjadi landasan partai. Namun, secara prakis beberapa narasi yang diusung partai tidak terlalu mendatangkan insentif secara elektoral. Di level decisional autonomy, kondisi PSI Kota Bandung yang hanya mengandalkan sumber pembiayaan partai dari sumber internal, kendati kondisi ini memberikan keleluasaan dan derajat otonomi suatu partai dalam pembuatan keputusan, namun keterbatasan kemampuan keuangan berdampak pada efektifitas jalannya organisasi. Di level value infusion, narasi dan isu yang dibawa parrtai menjadikan mereka dekat dengan segmen pemilih dari kelompok minoritas, baik dari kelompok keagamaan maupun etnis. Di level keempat (reification), diferensiasi identitas yang dibawa partai nampak belum membumi di tengah publik Kota Bandung.
