Cyber law analysis of E-KTP data leakage: A case approach of 102 million KTP data allegedly leaked from the Ministry of Social Affairs to a hacker forum

Purpose: This study investigates the legal implications and cybersecurity vulnerabilities surrounding the leak of 102 million electronic identity (E-KTP) records allegedly originating from the Indonesian Ministry of Social Affairs. It highlights the urgency of improving data protection mechanisms in the era of digital governance. Research methodology: The research adopts a qualitative document analysis method, collecting and examining data from laws, government regulations, academic literature, credible news sources, and case studies related to cybercrime and information security. An interdisciplinary approach is applied, integrating perspectives from law, information technology, and cybersecurity. Results: The study reveals that the current regulatory framework is insufficient to fully address the growing risks of data breaches in public digital infrastructures. It identifies critical gaps in cybersecurity readiness, institutional accountability, and legal enforcement related to personal data protection. Conclusions: Strengthening personal data protection in Indonesia requires a combination of stricter regulatory enforcement, increased public awareness, technological investment, and cross-sector collaboration. The legal system must adapt more proactively to emerging digital threats. Limitations: This research is limited to secondary data sources and does not include interviews or empirical fieldwork, which may restrict the depth of analysis on institutional practices. Contribution: This paper contributes to the development of cyber law discourse in Indonesia by offering legal and policy recommendations aimed at enhancing data privacy, institutional responsibility, and public trust in digital identity systems.

Concept of “Uzbek Intelligentsia” in historical-cultural and socio-philosophical discourse

Purpose: This study explores the evolution of the concept of “Uzbek intelligentsia” across historical epochs from Jadidist reformism and Soviet ideological structuring to post-independence digital civic engagement. Research methodology: The research adopts a multi-layered qualitative method combining cultural-historical analysis, conceptual mapping, and critical discourse analysis using NVivo software. Results: The study identifies intelligentsia as a dynamic and adaptive identity shaped by socio-political transformations. Key conceptual nodes such as marifatchi and xalqparvarlik persist across time, highlighting continuity in moral-intellectual responsibility. Conclusions: The Uzbek intelligentsia is not a static class but a fluid identity dialectically formed through interactions with shifting historical conditions and evolving societal questions. Limitations: The study is limited to qualitative interpretation, lacking quantitative generalization of public perceptions across broader demographics. Contribution: This work offers a theoretical framework for analyzing intelligentsia as an ethical, socio-historical process bridging past traditions with present digital reform.

The influence of the e-performance appraisal system, education and competence on employee performance through spiritual motivation in the regional office of the Ministry of Religion Riau Islands Province

Purpose: This study aimed to analyze the influence of the e-performance assessment system, education, and competence on employee performance, as well as the mediating role of spiritual motivation at the Regional Office of the Ministry of Religion of the Riau Islands Province. Research Methodology: The study involved 104 respondents comprising State Civil Apparatus (PNS and PPPK). Data were collected through surveys and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach with SmartPLS 3.0. Results: The findings show that the e-performance assessment system significantly improves employee performance, whereas education and competence do not. Spiritual motivation has a strong positive impact on performance. Furthermore, the e-performance system, education, and competence significantly influenced spiritual motivation. Mediation analysis indicates that spiritual motivation mediates the relationship between the e-performance system and competence with employee performance, while the mediation of education is positive but insignificant. Conclusions: The e-performance system and competence are key drivers of employee performance when reinforced by spiritual motivation, underscoring the importance of psychological and spiritual factors in public-sector performance. Limitations: This study was limited to one regional office and a relatively small sample size, which may affect the generalizability of the findings. Contribution: This research enriches the public sector performance management literature by integrating spiritual motivation as a mediating factor. This study provides insights for policymakers to design e-performance systems that not only strengthen competence but also foster spirituality, thereby enhancing sustainable employee performance.

Determination of workload, work facilities and communication on employee performance through job satisfaction in regional revenue agency of Karimun District

Purpose: This study aims to determine and analyze the effect of workload, work facilities, and work environment on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at the Karimun Regency Regional Revenue Agency. Research Methodology: This study employed an associative causality design using a quantitative approach. Data were collected using questionnaires distributed to 102 respondents. Statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS and structural equation modeling-partial least squares (SEM-PLS) to test the direct and indirect relationships among variables. Results: The findings revealed that workload, work facilities, and communication each had a positive and significant direct effect on employee performance, with p-values of 0.041, 0.002, and 0.001, respectively. Job satisfaction also directly and significantly affected performance (p = 0.006). Although workload did not significantly influence job satisfaction (p = 0.065), work facilities (p = 0.003) and communication (p = 0.010) had significant effects. Mediation analysis showed that job satisfaction did not mediate the relationship between workload and performance (p = 0.553) but mediated the effect of work facilities (p = 0.003) and communication (p = 0.023) on performance. Conclusions: The study concludes that work facilities and communication play a stronger role in enhancing employee satisfaction and performance than workload, with job satisfaction acting as an important mediator. Limitations: This study was limited to one agency with a relatively small sample size, potentially constraining the generalizability of the findings. Contribution: This study contributes to the public sector human resource management literature by demonstrating how job satisfaction mediates workplace factors and performance. Practically, the findings provide insights for policymakers to improve employee outcomes through better facilities and communication strategie.

The influence of local government policy on the cultural wisdom of noken use by civil servants (ASN) on the productivity and income of papuan women noken artisans in Mimika Baru District, Mimika Regency

Purpose: This study examines the influence of local government policy mandating noken use among civil servants (ASN) on the productivity and income of mama-mama Papua artisans in Mimika Baru District, Mimika Regency. The policy aims to preserve cultural heritage while enhancing the economic empowerment of Papuan women through the traditional craft of noken, recognized by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage Research/methodology: The research employed a quantitative survey approach with 35 respondents selected through accidental sampling from a population of 350 artisans. Data were collected via questionnaires, interviews, and observations, and analyzed using Path Analysis supported by SPSS software Results: The findings indicate that the noken use policy has a positive and significant effect on both artisan productivity (coefficient = 0.3524; p = 0.0379) and income (coefficient = 0.2846; p = 0.0442). The policy has increased demand, encouraging higher production, better product quality, and improved selling prices. However, 54% of artisans still fall within the low-income category, earning below IDR 1,450,000 per month. Conclusions: While the policy supports cultural preservation and economic growth, artisans continue to face challenges such as limited market access, lack of regeneration among younger artisans, and inadequate training. Limitations: The study is geographically limited to one district and focuses only on productivity and income. Contribution: This research highlights the role of cultural wisdom-based policies in strengthening creative economies and suggests entrepreneurship training, digital marketing, and improved distribution facilities as complementary strategies.
