MENTAL HEALTH AND WORK ENVIRONMENT EFFECTS ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR

High administrative demands and sustained performance targets placed civil servants under continuous work pressure, making mental health and work environment critical factors in maintaining performance. This study aimed to examine the effects of mental health and work environment on employee performance at the Deputy for Small Enterprises, Ministry of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises. A quantitative survey method was applied using structured questionnaires distributed to 87 civil servants selected through stratified random sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression supported by validity, reliability, and classical assumption testing. The results show that mental health and work environment have positive and significant effects on employee performance, both individually and jointly. The coefficient of determination is 0.688, indicating that 68.8 percent of performance variation is explained by the two variables. These findings confirm that employee performance in the public sector is strongly influenced by psychological well-being and supportive working conditions

Analysis of Rice Farming Using Jajar Legowo and Coventional Planting System in Muaro Sebo District, Muaro Jambi Regency

This research aims to: (1) describe the general characteristics of lowland rice farming under the jajar legowo and conventional planting systems in Maro Sebo District, Muaro Jambi Regency; (2) determine farmers’ income under both planting systems; and (3) analyze the income differences between the jajar legowo and conventional systems. The research employed a survey method, with primary data collected through interviews with respondent farmers. Descriptive analysis was used to illustrate the conditions of lowland rice farming under both planting systems, while quantitative analysis was conducted to examine farmers’ income levels. The results show that: (1) the jajar legowo system requires greater production inputs—including seeds, fertilizers, pesticides, and labor—compared with the conventional system, yet it yields a higher volume of harvested dry grain (GKP). (2) Farmers’ income under the jajar legowo system is higher than that under the conventional planting system. (3) Based on the results of the ANOVA test, there is a statistically significant difference in farmers’ income between the two planting systems, indicating that the jajar legowo system provides a higher income than the conventional system. Overall, the findings suggest that although the jajar legowo planting system demands more intensive input use, it delivers higher production and income, making it a more advantageous option for lowland rice farmers in Maro Sebo District

INVENTARISASI SPESIES FAMILI ARACEAE TAMAN BIODIVERSITAS HUTAN HUJAN TROPIS LEMBAH BUKIT MANJAI

Biodiversity Park of Bukit Manjai Valley, South Kalimantan. The research employed a cruising method through direct observation and morphological documentation. Seven Araceae species were identified: Alocasia princeps, Alocasia sarawakensis, Amorphophallus borneensis, Amorphophallus paeoniifolius, Amorphophallus muelleri, Amydrium medium, and Schismatoglottis ahmadii. Each species showed distinct morphological traits and ecological adaptations to the tropical rainforest environment. Measurements of abiotic factors like temperature, humidity, light intensity, soil pH, and wind speed indicated suitable habitat conditions for Araceae. Scientifically, the study contributes valuable data to the enrichment of local taxonomic databases, serving as a reference for botanical classification and species verification in South Kalimantan. Moreover, the documentation strengthens baseline information needed for the conservation planning of endemic and potentially threatened Araceae species in the region. The results also have applied value for the development of local-content-based learning media in higher education, particularly in the Phanerogamae course.Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menginventarisasi spesies tumbuhan dari famili Araceae di kawasan Taman Biodiversitas Hutan Hujan Tropis Lembah Bukit Manjai, Kalimantan Selatan.

Analysis of Internal and External Factors of Farmers that Influence the Productivity of Self-Help Palm Oil Plantations in Merlung District, West Tanjung Jabung Regency

This study aims to describe the conditions of self-help oil palm farming in Merlung District, West Tanjung Jabung Regency, and analyze the role of internal and external factors on productivity, including their influence through the moderating variable of production input use. Internal factors studied include age, education, farming experience, motivation, number of family members, and farmer ethnicity, while external factors include marketing access, FFB selling price, and access to the carrying market. The analysis was conducted using the Partial Least Square (PLS) method with a sample of 43 farmers. The results showed that oil palm farming is managed conventionally with an average land area of ​​2.6 ha per farmer. Maintenance activities include fertilization 1–4 times per year, spraying and pruning 1–2 times per year, and harvesting twice per month using family labor and outside labor. Internal factors were proven to have a positive and significant effect on productivity, while external factors did not have a direct effect. However, through moderation in the use of production inputs such as urea, NPK, and dolomite fertilizers, internal factors still have a positive, although not significant, influence, while external factors show a positive and significant influence on the productivity of self-help oil palm farming

Evaluation Of Raw Material Procurement And Added Value Of Premium Freshwater Salted Fish Products Based On Seasonality In Tulang Bawang Regency

This study aims to evaluate the procurement of raw materials for freshwater salted fish based on the six-right principles and to analyze the added value of leading agroindustrial products in Tulang Bawang Regency during the dry and rainy seasons. Data were collected through a census method involving 37 business units from December 2023 to February 2024, using a descriptive quantitative approach. The results show that raw material procurement practices vary by season. In the dry season, procurement was appropriate in terms of location, quality, and price, but less accurate regarding timing, type, and quantity. In the rainy season, only location and quality criteria were consistently met. Lais fish consistently generated the highest added value, while the lowest varied between gabus and baung fish depending on the season. These findings highlight the need for adaptive, season-based strategies and call for a re-evaluation of lais fish as a flagship product due to its limited availability as an endemic species
