This program is designed to foster an attitude of gratitude and an awareness that work is a meaningful calling to service.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Design/Methodology/Approach</em></strong><em>: This PkM was implemented at St. Yohanes Gabriel Catholic Junior High School in Blitar under the auspices of the St. Yohanes Gabriel Foundation, Representative Office of Blitar, Tulungagung, and Trenggalek. The method used was participatory training and mentoring through the Experiential Learning Cycle technique. The activity was carried out through preparation, game-based learning, application mentoring, and program evaluation.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Findings</em></strong><em>: The program evaluation demonstrated a significant impact on participants. All of participants were able to internalize the spirituality material, actively constructed meaning based on reflection on their experiences, and committed to truly implementing workplace spirituality values. Participants experienced a paradigm shift from viewing work routines as a burden to seeing a calling to service lived with joy and collaboration.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Practical Implications</em></strong><em>: Refreshing workplace spirituality is crucial for educators to face the complex challenges of Generation Alpha. Spiritual intelligence helps teachers develop greater patience, the ability to understand students without judgment, and model authentic character in the digital age.</em></p> <p><strong><em>Originality/Value</em></strong><em>: This program provides a model for strengthening educator character through the integration of spiritual intelligence and the concept of work as a calling. This experientially based approach has proven effective in changing work orientation and building an organizational culture of gratitude.</em></p> Yuliana Sri Purbiyati, Richard Andrew, N W Arkananta Nayottama, Filifiani Tri Putri Gandasi Copyright (c) 2026 Yuliana Sri Purbiyati https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/2040 Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 HARMONI DI RUMAH, AMAN DI LUAR https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/1678 <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> Verbal bullying is frequently experienced by children and may adversely affect their psychological and physical well-being. This community service program was conducted to strengthen family communication as a preventive and protective mechanism against verbal bullying.</p> <p><strong>Method:</strong> Educational counselling on verbal bullying, its impacts, and preventive strategies was delivered to members of the Family Welfare Empowerment representing neighbourhood units in Pondok Labu, South Jakarta.</p> <p><strong>Findings:</strong> The activity indicated that open, empathetic, and supportive communication between parents and children may strengthen children’s resilience and facilitate the early identification of behavioural changes associated with bullying. Effective family communication may also reduce the risk of children becoming either victims or perpetrators of verbal bullying.</p> <p><strong>Practical Implications:</strong> Parents should be empowered as primary agents of bullying prevention. Community involvement at neighbourhood and village levels is also required to establish a child-friendly social environment that collectively rejects verbal violence.</p> <p><strong>Originality:</strong> The program extends bullying prevention beyond school-based psychoeducation by positioning the family as the primary setting for early intervention. Interpersonal communication competence within the family was emphasized as a protective mechanism against verbal bullying.</p> Kumala Hayati, Fitria Ayuningtyas, Bekti Istiyanto Copyright (c) 2026 Kumala Hayati, Fitria Ayuningtyas, Bekti Istiyanto https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/1678 Sun, 28 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000 DIGITAL PAYMENTS AND BUDGETING AS STRATEGIC TOOLS FOR STRENGTHENING SMES IN CIKARANG PUSAT https://journal.ukmc.ac.id/index.php/jpm/article/view/2012 <p><strong>Purpose: </strong>This community service program aimed to strengthen the managerial capacity of MSMEs in Central Cikarang through the integration of QRIS and business budgeting.</p> <p><strong>Design/Methodology/Approach: </strong>A participatory approach was applied through socialisation, training, field mentoring, pre-test and post-test evaluation, and follow-up coordination.
