Abstract Background Individuals working excessive hours is a worldwide phenomenon. In Indonesia, over 32 million people work more than 40 h per week, contributing to around 26% of the workforce. Excessive working may affect health, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension. Hypertension affected around 34% of Indonesian adults, approximately 63.3 million people and led to about 427,000 deaths in 2018, and the prevalence remains high at 29.2% in 2023. This study aims to analyze the relationship between work hours and the risk of hypertension among working individuals in Indonesia. Methods This study used a pooled cross-sectional data from the Indonesian Family Life Survey (IFLS) wave 4 (2007) and wave 5 (2014) and performed a logit regression analysis to examine the likelihood of a working individual having hypertension based on the individual’s work hours. A dummy variable of hypertension is created based on the result of blood pressure measurement. The sample consists of 22,500 working individuals in Indonesia. This study controlled for job characteristics, sociodemographic status and health-behavioral risk factors such as BMI and smoking behavior, and performed additional regression analyses for alternative models to check for robustness. Results Our findings showed that there is a higher probability of having hypertension for workers who work longer hours by 0.06% points for each additional hour of work (p

Objectives: This study aims to investigate empirical evidence regarding the relationship between social capital, cross-sector collaboration, leadership, and the development of social innovation in Indonesian villages with rural social enterprises, Badan Usaha Milik Desa (BUMDes). Methods/Analysis: The study employed a mixed approach, combining a quantitative survey, non-participative observation, and in-depth interviews. Data were collected from 280 BUMDes directors, communities, and village governments in the West Java province, Indonesia. The quantitative data were analyzed by structural equation modeling (SEM), and the hypotheses were tested against the variables investigated. The results were strengthened through in-depth interviews with five key informants. Findings: The findings reveal a significant positive effect of cross-sector collaboration and leadership on social innovation in BUMDes. However, social capital was found to have no significant effect on social innovation. Additionally, the study revealed a decline in community trust in rural Indonesia. Novelty/Improvements: This research provides empirical evidence on the influence of social capital, cross-sector collaboration, and leadership on social innovation in the context of rural social enterprises in developing countries. It makes a significant contribution to existing theory and has the potential to influence the development of rural social enterprise and social innovation, which has not been sufficiently researched to date. From an empirical perspective, this study provides evidence from West Java, Indonesia, regarding the relationship between these variables and indicators in the context of rural social enterprises in developing countries, where the sector is still at a developmental stage.
