This study examined cultural and organizational motivations for success through organizational engagement and work motivation in the Department of Public Works in the province of Maluku, Indonesia. The approach used for this study was quantitative, using a survey. The Department of Public Works of the Province of Maluku was the research site with a sample of 149 participants. The analysis method used in this study was Generalized Structured Component Analysis (GSCA). The main findings were 1) organizational culture has a direct effect on organizational engagement and a direct contribution to employee performance, 2) organizational culture impacts company performance, 3) organizational environment has a direct effect on employee motivation and employee performance, and 4) organizational environment supports company performance. The results indicate that the organizational environment can be increased by formulating regulatory policies and establishing rules and strategies for employees to carry out their duties. Motivation for work can be boosted by giving awards that match the results of work. In building an organizational culture, attention needs to be paid to the values contained in organizational culture, consisting of corporate empowerment, team management, clarity of vision, direction, and corporate goals.

The research was conducted with the new public management paradigm; the community as the recipient of services is considered a customer. The study aims to reveal the relationship between training and employee performance in the public sector with knowledge sharing indicators as a mediator for both. This research uses a quantitative approach to SEM-Amos analysis tools. The sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique to the Civil Servants (CS) in an online questionnaire to participate in this study. The results showed that as many as 149 samples answered the questionnaire and had attended leadership training and other training. The results showed that the role of leadership training and additional training for training assessment tools to increase knowledge sharing was very influential compared to functional training, technical training, and other training. Although leadership training and further training significantly impact increasing knowledge sharing, they have not improved work-life and CS Performance quality. On the other hand, knowledge sharing shows an indirect effect on CS performance compared to its direct impact.

The influence of social media in providing the information is undeniable in the current era. How the information is received is then processed as a helpful reference in deciding the purchase is always an exciting thing to discuss. Based on Self-Determination Theory (SDT), in this study, we examined how motivation arises in the form of fear if left behind or not involved in an excellent condition when consuming a product—through quantitative. Data approach collected from 231 sample people, then processed with Structural Equation Modeling using AMOS 23 through Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Model Fit Testing. The study results confirm that social media content can increase fear of missing out (FOMO), encouraging consumers to make purchases. The results of this study show that purchasing decisions influenced by FOMO can provide satisfaction for consumers. Situational Determinants, namely Perceived favorability and Self-relevance can significantly influence FOMO compared to personal traits (fears, worries, and anxieties). The results of this study are in line with Self Determination Theory, where the personal motivation of consumers in making purchases will encourage the creation of satisfaction.

This study examines Indonesia's pluralistic education strategy using qualitative research methods, including interviews, observation, and document examination, to collect data. Pluralistic education theory is applied as a theoretical framework. The research sites are three elementary schools in Riau Province, Indonesia, where students from different cultures gather to study. According to the study's findings, existing education policies provide the possibility for minority students to attend public schools. The Ministry of Education and Culture has allowed schools to make policies that reflect the cultural diversity of their students. The findings also show that the curriculum includes references to diverse cultures, that textbooks include lessons that encourage students to live in harmony with individuals from different cultures, and that many schools have created multilingual education programs. A closer examination of these practices reveals that what appears to be acceptance of cultural variation is part of pluralism. Multicultural materials that have been introduced into the autonomous curriculum have mainly been included. The curriculum maintains the established characteristics that identify Indonesian culture.
