An organization must initiate an adequate job design for the employees to required job performance. A question arises on how a company could gain high job performance in a particular setting in a dynamic business environment and diverse background. This study examines the influence of four components of job design as predictors to job performance; job enrichment, job rotation, job enlargement, and job simplification. While job design is proven to contribute to high job performance, some literature states its limitations. This study adopted a case study method to investigate issues faced by a leading automobile company in Malaysia. Primary data was collected through a series of interviews and a distribution of questionnaires. A multiple regression model was used to explore the predictors of job performance. It was found that job rotation and job enlargement were significant to job performance, while the insignificant effect of job enrichment and job simplification needs to be reviewed. The results of the analysis were discussed in line with feedback from interviews and related literature. The study contributed to the new understandings on critical factors of job design that influence job performance in the support cluster of a manufacturing company.

Deforestasi wilayah hutan menjadi penyebab degadrasi lingkungan yang berkepanjangan. Tak hanya itu, HTI seringkali memunculkan konflik lahan bagi masyarakat yang ada di sekitar wilayah konsesi. Konflik lahan seringkali muncul karena adanya ketidak-jelasan batas wilayah desa terhadap konsesi perusahaan HTI, dan juga kurangnya komunikasi antara kedua belah pihak dalam penyelesaian masalah lahan. Hal ini diperburuk lagi dengan kondisi bahwa desa sebagai sebuah unit dari wilayah tidak memiliki batas wilayah secara definitif. Selanjutnya terdapat berbagai macam kerentanan masyarakat dalam menghadapi ekspansi perusahaan jika didudukkan dalam kerangka kehidupan berkelanjutan (penilaian dari 5 jenis aset). Tujuan dalam penelitian ini adalah mengetahui aset ruang Desa Sungai Batang dari perspektif pentagonal aset. Selain itu, tujuan kedua penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui efektifitas pemetaan partisipatif dan studi tenurial di Desa Sungai Batang. Penelitian ini dilakukan dengan menggunakan data primer dan data sekunder, yang mana peneliti terlibat dalam proses <em>grandtour</em>, observasi dan wawancara kepada orang-orang kunci. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode studi kasus Desa Sungai Batang sebagai salah satu desa yang berada di dalam batas wilayah sebuah perusahaan yang bergerak di bidang HTI. Hasil dari penelitian ini, apabila Desa Sungai Batang didudukkan dalam kerangka penghidupan berkelanjutan, memiliki potensi besar dalam aset modal sosial dan modal alam. Sayangnya, kedua modal tersebut belum ditegaskan dengan batasan wilayah yang jelas sehingga sering terjadi ketidaksepahaman dan kecenderungan eksploitasi antara perusahaan kepada masyarakat.</p><p><strong>Kata kunci: </strong>desa sungai batang, batas wilayah, sistem tenurial</p><p> </p><p class="judulabsINgg"><strong>                                                                                       ABSTRACT</strong></p><p class="abstrakingg">The expansion of  wood supply chain in HTI or Industrial Forest Plantation for the needs of pulp is getting bigger every year.

This study aims to understand the practice of government financial accountability in Kludan Village, Tanggulangin District, Sidoarjo Regency. Village finances are very interesting to study, because of the large amounts of funds released by the centre for the development and welfare of communities in the village. This study uses two forms of public accountability, namely vertical accountability and horizontal accountability. The use of these two forms of accountability is expected to be able to dig deep information for the village government. This study uses an interpretive paradigm with a case study method. The data used are primary data, obtained from interviews with informants and secondary data obtained from documentation owned by the village government. Village culture is also a tool used by researchers in making decisions when observing research carried out. This is because village culture also influences the way the community and village government think about making decisions. The results showed that the village financial accountability vertically and horizontally had been carried out in accordance with the rules of government on 113 of 2014. This was evidenced by the implementation which was carried out in a transparent, accountable, participatory as well as orderly and budgetary discipline. However, there is still a lack of mastery by village officials regarding the recording of accountability reports. The village government tends to have less accountability. This will have an impact on the level of trust of the village community and the welfare of the village environment.
