This study investigates the preferences of foreign Muslim tourists in Indonesia's halal tourism sector, with a particular focus on their expectations regarding halal accommodation, products, destinations, and regulations. This study aims to identify deficiencies in policy implementation, infrastructure development, and international marketing that impede Indonesia's potential as a prominent global halal tourism destination. A qualitative research methodology was employed, incorporating interviews and focus group discussions with seven stakeholders: religious scholars, tourism operators, business owners, and foreign Muslim tourists. Data were analyzed using NVivo 12 and Atlas 7 software to extract key themes and insights. The findings revealed significant inconsistencies in halal certification, infrastructure, and international marketing strategies. Foreign Muslim tourists prioritize halal-certified services, cultural authenticity, and inclusivity. However, the inadequate implementation of halal standards, limited halal-friendly infrastructure, and ineffective international promotion efforts constrain Indonesia's capacity to attract more Muslim travelers. Policy recommendations include the enhancement and standardization of halal certification processes, improvement of halal-friendly infrastructure, and implementation of targeted international marketing campaigns. Strategies to promote inclusivity among non-Muslim tourists have also been proposed to support sustainable growth. This study offers novel perspectives by integrating cultural identity, contemporary tourism approaches, and global expectations. It examines the intersection of faith-based travel and accessibility and presents practical suggestions for establishing Indonesia as a leading destination for halal tourism.

Work stress and burnout among nurses have become critical issues in human resource management, particularly in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study develops a conceptual model exploring how organizational justice moderates the relationship between work stress and burnout, based on the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) framework. Using a quantitative approach with 315 respondents selected through proportional random sampling, data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS) with SmartPLS software. The results show that job stress significantly and positively affects burnout (p < 0.001). Job resources significantly reduce job stress (p < 0.05) and act as a mediator, decreasing burnout through the job stress pathway (p < 0.05). However, job demands were positively related to burnout, but this relationship was not significant (p > 0.05), leading to the rejection of this hypothesis. Organizational justice significantly reduces job stress (p < 0.05), moderating the relationship between job stress and burnout. Specifically, higher perceptions of organizational justice weaken the effect of job stress on burnout. These findings emphasize the importance of organizational justice and job resources in managing work stress and preventing burnout. The results highlight the need for healthcare organizations to integrate justice principles into their practices to mitigate burnout and enhance employee well-being

This study aims to see whether the e-satisfaction variable can have a mediating effect on e-service quality and perceived ease of use on online repurchase intention on marketplace sites. The consumers on the marketplace website were provided with online questionnaires as part of the research method. A total of 268 respondents were gathered.

This study analyzes the effect of E-Health literacy, perceived information quality, trust, perceived competence, and perceived price on purchase intention. The research method is quantitative, and primary data was collected through an online questionnaire. Participants in this research consisted of 238 individuals who intended to use Halodoc E-Health services in Indonesia during the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, all regions in Indonesia have had negative economic growth. It also increased the poverty rate in the country. The government must allocate pro-growth and poverty reduction programs to maintain economic growth and simultaneously reduce poverty. This study aims to measure the relative efficiency of pro-growth poverty reduction spending of local governments in seven regions in Indonesia. This study compares the efficiency scores before and during the COVID-19 pandemic from 2015 to 2019 and 2020. The inputs are five types of government spending: education, health, economic, social protection, and infrastructure. The outputs are economic growth and poverty reduction. Data envelopment analysis with an output-oriented model and a return to scale variable approach is applied. The results show that the highest average local government efficiency score was in Kalimantan, with the lowest being in Sulawesi. The efficiency scores of local governments in the COVID-19 pandemic differ between regions: it remained stable in Kalimantan, increased in Java-Bali, Sumatra, and Sulawesi, and experienced a decline in Nusa Tenggara, Maluku, and Papua. The study concludes that economic growth and poverty reduction can simultaneously measure government efficiency. To be relatively efficient, local governments need to consider allocating pro-growth poverty reduction spending to improve the conditions of both outputs.
