“…The importance of education in eradicating poverty and encouraging social mobility (Lee, 2021). Higher education may not increase human capital in a short period of time, but it is considered a major driver of economic growth (N. S. S. Abdullah et al, 2022).…”

The success of development depicts economic growth. Nevertheless, it is pertinent to emphasize that a significant increase in economic growth may not eradicate poverty, unemployment, and health issues. The prevalence of poverty in Palembang City in 2021 was considerably elevated, amounting to 11.34 percent, while the unemployment rate has exhibited an upward trend, reaching 10.11 percent. Additionally, there was a decline in employment within the labor market, accompanied by a corresponding rise in the number of individuals actively seeking job opportunities. This study aims to examine the various elements contributing to poverty and unemployment and formulate an integrated and sustainable model for poverty reduction and lowering unemployment in urban areas. The data collection technique uses a concurrent mixed method through questionnaires distributed to the public by purposive random sampling of 215 informants and Focus Group Discussions with relevant stakeholders in Palembang City in November 2022. The results of the study found that four factors contribute to poverty in Palembang City: education level, economic growth, health, and labor force participation rate. The level of education is the most dominant factor that plays a role in the occurrence of poverty and unemployment in Palembang City. The strategy formulated is the provision of educational scholarship programs for poor families at the primary and secondary education levels through the utilization of operational costs. It can be concluded that education has a big role in reducing poverty and unemployment, so it is important to invest in education. Investment in education, including improved access and quality of education, can help address issues of poverty and unemployment by giving individuals better opportunities for decent work.

“…The concept of education as an investment has placed humans as the primary focus (Schultz, 1961), which is correlated with economic growth (Widiansyah, 2017;Guo, Huang & Zhang, 2019;Hanushek & Woessmann, 2020). This shows the importance of universities in providing competency-based education to ensure employability or graduate careers (Abdullah, Abd Majid, and Hussin, 2022).…”

The career center is one solution in responding to the high unemployment rate with higher education which is possible due to a mismatch between educational competence and the needs of employment, or an imbalance between demand and supply. The purpose of this study was to determine the success and effectiveness of the implementation of the career center program at one of the universities in the health sector in Denpasar City. This study is an evaluation study using the CIPP model which was analyzed qualitatively. The results show that in the context aspect it is necessary to set clear vision, mission, and goals. The input aspect shows that there is no curriculum as a guide and the implementation of several programs has not been optimally assessed from the process aspect. Meanwhile, the product aspect shows good acceptance of graduates in the world of work. It is hoped that the career center program can be improved by implementing strategic management and providing entrepreneurship education.

Service organizations, particularly in the hospitality sector, are constantly under pressure to meet the ever-increasing and ever-changing expectations of the customers, in an innovative manner; making employee creativity a mainstream demand. Researchers and practitioners are pondering ways to frame employee creativity in the hospitality industry. This study aims to empirically investigate the role of positive affect in framing employee creativity in the hospitality industry. The broaden-and-build theory was employed to explain the framework under study, examining relations between affective, cognitive, psychological, and social factors that may shape employee creativity in the hospitality industry. Data was collected from 391 employees, working in hotels and restaurants in Pakistan, on a structured survey, by using a purposive sampling approach. The PLS-SEM approach was considered for data analysis. The findings show a positive relationship between positive affect and perspective-taking. The previously understudied relationship between perspective-taking and thriving at work was found significant. The relationship of perspective-taking with structural and relational social capital was also found significant. Supporting prior research, our results show that thriving at work and relational social capital lead to employee creativity. Interestingly, the relationship between structural social capital and employee creativity was insignificant. This study provides valuable insights for practitioners and hospitality managers to shape employee creativity by considering positive affect as a stimulator.
