Motivasi kerja dan lingkungan kerja sangat berkaitan langsung dengan kinerja karyawan. Motivasi kerja dan lingkungan kerja yang dirasakan oleh karyawan dapat menurunkan kinerja ataupun meningkatkan kinerja karyawan. Lingkungan kerja yang nyaman akan membuat karyawan termotivasi untuk meningkatkan kinerja sehingga akan berdampak pada peningkatan kinerja suatu instansi secara keseluruhan. Metode penelitian yang dilakukan adalah metode kuantitatif melalui pendekatan asosiatif. Lokasi penelitian, yakni Dinas Komunikasi Informatika dan Statistik (Diskominfo) Kabupaten Lombok Barat. Sampel yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini yakni seluruh karyawan berjumlah 39 orang. Metode pemilihan sampel dalam penelitian ini berupa sampel jenuh (sensus). Teknik analisis data menggunakan uji asumsi klasik, uji regresi linier berganda, uji-t, dan uji-f. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa: (1) Motivasi kerja berpengaruh secara signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan; (2) Lingkungan kerja berpengaruh signifikan terhadap kinerja karyawan; dan (3) Motivasi kerja dan lingkungan kerja berpengaruh secara simultan terhadap kinerja karyawan. Implikasi dari penelitian ini adalah adanya pemerhati kebersihan dan pemerhati ruang kerja agar tugas yang diberikan karyawan yang dikerjakan dengan baik dan diharapkan dengan adanya motivasi kerja akan meningkatkan gairah dan semangat karyawan dalam sebuah organisasi.

Currently, Indonesia has 1.7 million hectares of oil palm plantations on peatland (12% of the total area of 13.5 million ha Indonesia’s peatland). As a consequence, fires on peatland become trending topics. Field observation research that aims to determine the physical and chemical characteristics of peat in oil palm plantations has been carried out on several peat locations in West Aceh District: Suakraya village, Johan Pahlawan district (15 years old), Cot Gajah Mati Village, Arongan Lambalek district (1 year old), and Suakpuntong village, Nagan Raya district (10 years old). Substantial changes in the physicochemical properties of soils from oil palm plantations were observed, then evaluated the impact these characteristics to fires on peatland. The analysis soil showed that peatlands around in West Aceh District have physical characteristic: bulk density (BD) from 0, 12 - 0.16 g cm-3; groundwater level of 6 cm (rainy seasons) and 86 cm (dry seasons); moisture or water content in the surface layer (0-20 cm) during the dry season was 505 - 985% The thickness of peat was 457 cm on deep peat in Suakraya, 157 cm on shallow peat in Suakraya, 243 cm in Cot Gajah Mati, 136 cm in Suakpuntong. The chemical characteristic of peat soil has pH H2O 2.9 – 3.9, pH KCl 2.23 - 3.07. The level of maturity of peat in the surface layer in all observation locations is the same, namely hemic. Water content per unit dry weight depends on peatland maturity level (fibric: 540 - 1187%, hemic: 268 - 480% and sapric: 106 - 242%). Ash content per unit dry weight varied from 1.8 – 5.9%, and C-organic content 53.4 – 57.6%. Peat total acidity is 4.2 – 6.4 me g-1, COOH content 0.02 - 0.16 me g-1 and phenolic-OH content 4.2 – 6.2 me g-1. The important result of this study showed that the causes of peatland fires are not caused by the characteristics of peat (occur naturally), but there are triggers of human activities.

Shallot farming on peatland has physical, chemical and biological constraints which does not support crop growth properly. These constraints can usually be treated with amelioration. It is therefore important to understand the effects of applying ameliorant on soil properties and shallots productivity. The study was conducted in Central Kalimantan Province of Indonesia from April to August 2017. In this study, ameliorant such as 10 t ha−1 mineral soil + 4 t ha−1 dolomite + 5 t ha−1 manure has been applied into 0 – 20 cm soil depth. Furthermore, NPK fertilizer, peat fertilizer, bio fertilizer, mulch and or a combination thereof had been added as the treatments. The results showed that application of mineral soil + dolomite + manure was able to improve the physical, and chemical properties of soil on all treatments such as increases in bulk density, mineral content, pH, Ca, Mg, K, base saturation, and P, so that the improved soil condition can support the shallots growth properly. The shallot dry weight production ranged from 9.60 to 15.49 t ha−1. As a comparison, Indonesia’s national average shallots productions is 9.31 t ha−1. This finding indicates that shallots farming can be considered as the alternative for peatlands utilization.
