INTRODUCTION
Humans are social creatures who cannot live alone but
must constantly interact with each other. To be able to communicate and
interact, humans need language (Xiao, 2018). Aside from being a communication tool, language is
also the identity of a sociolinguistic group whose participation is demanded in
providing information in making linguistic policies (Sari et al., nd). For this reason, language cannot be separated from
the culture of a society that uses that language because language development
certainly goes hand in hand with the people who use it (Rifa'i, 2020). In this case, sociolinguistics examines the
relationship between language and society, which links two fields that can be
studied separately: the formal structure of language by linguistics and the
structure of society by sociology (Saimuary et al., 2021).
Understanding the basic concept of the relationship
between language and language society that occurs in a human group where
members communicate with each other regularly has inspired researchers to look
back on what they have been doing for ten years, being active in the
Muhammadiyah Community Organization. For researchers, all Muslims are certainly
Muhammadiyah (followers of the Prophet Muhammad), but being part of the
community of the Muhammadiyah Organization can be formally said to be a
blessing behind historical events by helping members of the organization
founded by the illuminating film leader (KH. et al.) build a school building in
the Social and Public Relations area where the researcher became Head of the
Community Association at Pondok Rejeki Kutabaru Housing Complex, Kemis Market,
Tangerang (1998-2004 period). Is one word "Build Baduy" in the
inauguration of the Ortom management of the Hizbul Wathan Scouting Movement
(GKHW) Banten at the time of laying the first stone (September 12, 2007) when
the construction of a school building for Baduy children started, requiring
researchers to think creatively amidst the turmoil of feeling that to be honest
the desire For researchers, it is enough to be an administrator at the second
layer or secretary, considering that Banten is like a forest where researchers
do not know its character and character.
However, with the spirit of an overseas child,
"where the earth stands there the sky is honored" even without
sufficient provisions, the words of the modest personal figure, Chairman of the
Banten Muhammadiyah Regional Leadership (PWM) "Hasan Alaydrus" in a
family meeting (Muhammadiyah Family Gathering) at Anyer Beach Deforming the
term B'Scout to become Banten Scouts, Boys Scouts, and Brandalan Scouts seems
to challenge researchers so that GKHW Banten is not built with the spirit of
today's youth full of facilities. GKHW Banten must be built with the slightest
potential to answer the challenges of the times according to the guiding
character, which is expected to be present with all limitations to become a
role model for problem solvers, not problem makers, let alone problem keepers.
) and problem spreader (problem provider) for the problems of national and
State life.
As a Bachelor of Languages who understands that
language can influence character formation, efforts to avoid using the word
"Commission" instead of "Working Group" are always
socialized both in every work meeting of the organization and in media
publications that are made. This is all part of the effort to build a community
with creative, productive, and innovative professional, entrepreneurial
character, which the chairman of PP Muhammadiyah, Prof. Dien Syamsuddin, is
analogous to the term building positive envy for the characteristics of
Muhammadiyah members. This positive attitude of envy becomes the primary
capital in building a spirit of competition in goodness, both when interacting
within the internal community and with external parties, other communities, or
religious organizations.
In line with the idea that language is a means of
conveying information in every activity of the movement of society, be it the
business community, social society, cultural society, or political society,
this research was conducted with an empirical understanding that language
should be a tool in order to encourage the formation of a learning society
towards the rise of the entrepreneurial era national (Suharyanto, 2016) . All of this is the accumulation of essential reasons
for the need to carry out academic studies, which happen to be researchers as
English lecturers taking advantage of the momentum of writing the final
assignment for the Sociolinguistics and Language Teaching course with the hope
that it will ensure that they continue to socialize the use of the word working
group instead of the word commission in every formal activity and
organizational informal (Mailani et al., 2022).
A perception study of the meaning of
"Commission" was carried out through direct and indirect observation.
Direct observation was carried out by asking the community as a respondent to
fill out a questionnaire and hold discussions and observe the community's
behavior in their daily interactions. At the same time, indirect observations
were made in the form of observing the development of community behavior in
actively participating in being part of the community of scout children in
Banten. This form of participation can be seen in the activeness of the
community in various work programs that have been, are being, and will be
carried out. The work program in question is a program formulation which is a
form of agreement on the actual participation of the Hizbul Wathan Kwatir
Scouting Movement in the Banten Region to realize its vision of Becoming a
Caring Learner Guide Organization (for full details, read B'Scout Creative
Magazine editions 1,2,3).
Through the spirit of language, the researcher
believes that in time the idea of encouraging the formation of the "House
of Scouts as the House of Innovation for the Community of Scouts of Today's Children"
will result in contributions of love for the country in the form of work, not
just talk. In addition, the slogan "Don't Seek Life, but Live Life,"
which is only relevant for conveying da'wah among the upper class, will
complement each other with the phrase "Live by Reviving" and be more
rational and acceptable for the interests of da'wah for novice followers. All
of this will be achieved if all forms of model activities initiated through the
facilitation of pilot houses are prepared and carried out professionally from
the start in order to encourage the independence of community organizations by
upholding the principles of togetherness, openness, and honesty.
Besides the desire to benefit from the development of
scouting organizations, this research was carried out as part of the final
assignment for the course "Sociolinguistics and Language Teaching"
with the supporting lecturer Prof. Dr. Emzir, M.Pd. This research was conducted
for four months from the first time the supporting lecturer explained the
lecture syllabus (March 2013). The process of data collection and data analysis
took place simultaneously until the end of the lecture (June 2013).
Finally, given the limited time, funds, and
facilities, the researcher hopes that in the future, a perception test can be
carried out with a broader range of respondents so that it is hoped that the
results will be worthy of being input for public policy to consider the use of
the word commission in every social, political, religious, educational or
bureaucratic activity. This input is, of course, a contribution from language
observers in participating in building the era of national entrepreneurship by
minimizing instantaneous and corruptive mentality instead of building the
spirit of work and work needed in the implementation of the four pillars of the
nation and State in the future. At least this contribution will be a small
input to refute the survey results by the Hong Kong-based Political and
Economic Risk Consultancy (PERC, 2012) consulting agency. Indonesia is still
considered the most corrupt country among the 12 Asian investment destinations.
The word commission is now commonly used in various
organizational activities, both formal and non-formal. The word commission can
be found in legislatures (for example, Commission A, Commission B, Budget
Commission, etc.), executive agencies, and even an anti-corruption agency also
uses the word commission, such as the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK).
For activists, the word commission no longer carries any substantial meaning.
The word commission is often the subject of jokes and jokes when questions
arise at organizational meetings, such as: Where is my commission? My
commission what? How much is my commission?
There is nothing wrong with the word commission
because almost all countries use it. Problems arise when the word commission, which is
massively used in the name of a state institution, has various perceptions. The
word commission can refer to an aspect of business that means a kind of
remuneration or payment to an agent to whom the work is entrusted (Irwan, 2017). On a national scale, we find
the terms Constitutional Commission, European Commission, and Presidential
Commission. Even in America, the term United States Trade and Exchange
Commission exists (Nasution, 2018).
Specifically, the use of the
word commission is problematic when the word commission has the potential to
cause various positive and negative perceptions of a person's mental attitude (hifzul Muiz & Sumarni, 2020). Mental attitudes can be in
the form of instant mentality, not wanting to work hard, and not being
creative, all of which have substantial implications for one's work
productivity. For that, is it necessary to review the word commission instead
of working group?
Based on the identification of
the problem, the researcher tried to verify the mental attitude views above
through tests among the internal communities of the Hizbul Wathan Banten
Scouting Movement. The determination of the locus of perception test is
because, starting from the first time the researcher served as chairman (2007),
the main thing that the researcher built was the mental attitude of the
community through a language approach not to use the term commission either
orally or in writing. The purpose of this research is to understand and analyze
the meaning of the term "komisi" (commission) within a community of
Pandu Hizbul Wathan Banten. Therefore, the benefits of this research are that
it will provide a deeper understanding of how the concept of "komisi"
is interpreted and implemented within the context of the Pandu Hizbul Wathan
Banten community. It can offer insights into how the commissions within that community
can contribute to enhancing organizational efficiency and effectiveness.
Additionally, the findings of this research can help identify areas where the
commissions might require improvements in their quality of work.
METHODS
The research method
or perception study of "commission" uses a qualitative-quantitative
descriptive approach. Technically the research procedure is carried out as
follows:
a. Retrieval of research data 1 in the form of primary data
collected through a questionnaire given to respondents in the form of a
positive perception questionnaire and negative perceptions of the use of the
word commission
b. Retrieval of research data 2, through interviews and
in-depth discussions to determine the influence of the behavior of respondents
in the involvement of guide communication activities
c. Conduct data analysis to see positive and negative
perceptions of using the word commission in business, political, bureaucratic,
social, community, educational, and religious activities. In addition to doing
a quantitative inventory to obtain alternatives to the use of the word
commission
This research was
conducted on respondents who already knew what and how the Hizbul Wathan
scouting organization is an autonomous Muhammadiyah youth organization in
Banten. This indicator is marked by respondents' involvement in organizational
activities who are considered to have read the communication media and the
publication "B'Scout Creative," published in 3 editions. For this
reason, respondents consisted of organizational management, teachers and students
of the Graphic Vocational School formed by the community, as well as guests who
had visited the secretariat office of the Graha Hw Banten joint venture at the
Telaga Bumi Asri Complex, Sepatan Village, Tangerang, Banten.
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Positive and Negative Statements on the Use of the Word
"Commission"
Respondents were asked to give opinions freely regarding
their positive and negative perceptions regarding using the word commission in
everyday life. All of these perceptions are grouped into perceptions related to
business, political, bureaucratic, social, educational, and religious
activities. Of the 43 respondents who gave their perceptions of using the word
"Commission," there were 103 positive and 94 negative attitudes.
Respondents' positive attitude towards the use of the
word commission is driven more by a pragmatic attitude in dealing with the
phenomena of everyday life. This pragmatic attitude is more because the
commission of the word has been used massively in various aspects of life.
Meanwhile, negative attitudes are more driven by general phenomena visible to
the public in the form of corruption and abuse of office.
Many studies on corruption in Indonesia have been
conveyed to the public through discussions, seminars, survey results, mass
media, etc. The community's collective awareness has begun to awaken in the
view that corrupt behavior should be disposed of. This can be seen in almost
all negative statements; "commission" is always associated with the
growth of corrupt behavior in various aspects of life.
Of all the positive and negative aspects of using the
word "commission," it can be said that the word commission is
attached to the institutional name of the Corruption Eradication Commission
(KPK), which is considered to have a positive value. This is more due to the
positive stigma that exists in these institutions. In general, the respondents'
collective expectation is that it is best not to use the word commission,
especially in religious, educational, and social activities. Qualitatively all
positive and negative statements from the use of the word
"commission" in various activities can be seen in Table 1 below.

Respondents
Agree and Disagree with the Use of the Word Commission
The data shows that the word commission is acceptable
when used in a business context. Of 43 respondents, 40 agreed to use the word
commission for business activities. In contrast, three people said they
disagreed. For political and bureaucratic activities, 35 people agreed, and
eight people disagreed, respectively.
For activities related to social organizations, there
appears to be a pretty vigorous resistance; as many as 13 respondents agreed,
and 30 people stated they did not agree. Meanwhile, there was a balance between
agreeing and disagreeing with educational activities. This is evident from the
slight difference where as many as 20 respondents agreed. In comparison, 23
respondents stated that they disagreed.
A high
attitude of rejection was seen in 4 respondents who agreed to use the word
commission in religious activities; on the other hand, 39 respondents refused.
The complete data Table 2 describes respondents' attitudes toward using the
word commission in business, politics, bureaucracy, social affairs, education,
and religious activities.

As an illustration of strengthening the data in Table 2,
the graph below illustrates a comparison of attitudes towards accepting and
rejecting the use of the word commission in business, politics, bureaucracy,
social education, and religious activities.
Existing
illustrations show how acceptable business aspects are for using the word
commission. Furthermore, the attitude of the respondents changed successively
when the word commission was used in the world of politics, bureaucracy, social
affairs, education, and religion (see the following chart):
Graph 1. Agree and Disagree with the use of the word
commission
Respondents' Suggestions If You Disagree Use the word commission.
Respondents provided written reasons why they disagreed
with using the word commission. On business affairs, there were two
suggestions; political affairs, four suggestions; bureaucratic affairs, three
suggestions; social affairs, nine suggestions; education affairs, nine
suggestions; and religious affairs, 17 suggestions. From a total of 43
suggestions, it can be seen that in the business world, the tendency of
respondents to accept the term commission is used. This is possible because in
the business world, however, profit and loss must be oriented. This means that
here the economic factor is the determining factor why the term commission is
well accepted.
The data also shows that suggestions for disapproving the
use of the word commission in politics and bureaucracy are small, with four
suggestions for politics and three suggestions for bureaucracy, respectively.
When associated with a sufficiently large number of respondents who agree with
the use of the word commission in the world of politics and bureaucracy (i.e.,
35 versus eight respondents agree and disagree --- see table 2), this data
gives an illustration that the world of politics and bureaucracy seems to have
an excuse to keep using the word commission.
Precisely there is relatively high resistance to the use
of the word commission in social activities (13:30), education (20:23), and
religion (4:39). With the respondent's ability to express opinions in the form
of sentences with reasons for disagreement, which are also relatively high,
each for social activities (9 reasons), education (9 reasons) and religion (23
reasons), it seems that the use of the sentence commission needs to find
alternative words that are appropriate and well received.
What is quite interesting to observe is that almost all of
the reasons and suggestions contained an intention to eradicate the culture of
corruption that currently thrives in this country. The language factor is
considered capable of playing an essential role in changing instantaneous
behavior in the work culture and works. Table 3 summarizes respondents'
suggestions if they do not agree to use the word commission in each activity
related to business, politics, bureaucracy, social affairs, education, and
religion.

Said the Commission in the Perspective of Corruption Eradication in
Indonesia
Many studies on corruption in Indonesia have been
conveyed to the public through discussions, seminars, survey results, mass
media, etc. One of the regular studies and surveys on corruption is carried out
by an independent institution, Transparency International (TI). There are
various approaches to corruption in the form of a global index, for example,
the Corruption Perception Index (CPI) and the Global Corruption Barometer (GCB)
(Widyastono, 2013). CPI is an index of perceptions of corruption in a
country. This index is published annually by Transparency International (TI)
(Amri, 2017). TI is a global civil society organization that
pioneered the eradication of corruption (Iqrom, 2013). TI brings together nations in a coalition to end the
devastating effects of corruption on humans to create change toward a world
free of corruption.
In the Journal of Business and Economics (JBE), March
2011, Ahmad Badjuri conveyed a critical note about the failure factors for
eradicating corruption in Indonesia (Tahir & Noor, 2020), which can be caused by several things as follows:
1. There is no overall political support.
2. Applying the law against corruptors is ineffective and
ambiguous, and, even allegedly, in the corruption justice process, there is a
legal mafia that "plays."
3. Efforts to eradicate corruption are not focused, there is
much pressure and no priorities, and an adequate inter-judicial bureaucratic
structure does not support them.
4. The anti-corruption agency is still considered an
ineffective and efficient organization that needs to meet society's
expectations.
5. Judiciary institutions are often involved in conflicts of
interest with other government institutions; for example, presidential permits
for corruptors from government bureaucrats become an obstacle to handling
corruption quickly and effectively.
Apart from the five critical notes on the failure to
eradicate corruption above, no one has looked at it from the aspect of mental
development, especially the role of language. Let us look at efforts to
eradicate corruption in Indonesia, which started in 1957 (Syuraida, 2015). In its journey, this effort is a long process of
institutionalization in dealing with corruption.
These
efforts include:
1. A special military operation was carried out in 1957 to
eradicate corruption in logistics.
2. The Corruption Eradication Team (TPK) was formed in 1967
to prevent and eradicate corruption.
3. In 1970 an advocacy team, better known as the Team of
Four, was formed, tasked with providing recommendations on corruption action to
the government.
4. Operation Control (Opstib) was formed in 1977 to
eradicate corruption through administrative and operational disciplinary
action.
5. In 1987, Pemsus Restitution was formed to specifically
deal with eradicating corruption in the tax sector.
6. In 1999 a Joint Corruption Eradication Team (TGPTPK) was
formed under the auspices of the Attorney General's Office. The same year, the
State Official Wealth Examination Commission (KPKPN) was also formed.
7. In 2002 the Corruption Eradication Commission (KPK) was
formed, while the KPKPN merged and joined it.
Furthermore, the results of a comprehensive study and
assessment by the BPKP, as outlined in the book "National Corruption
Eradication Strategy," concluded that one of the reasons for the failure
to eradicate corruption was the weakness of government officials (Sosiawan, 2019). Who deals with corruption? The results of the study are
documented in a KKN eradication strategy which is grouped into:
1. A preventive strategy that outlines the steps that must
be taken to prevent corruption as much as possible.
2. A detective strategy that outlines the steps that must be
taken if an act of corruption has already occurred so that as much as possible,
the corruption can be identified in the shortest possible time.
3. The repressive strategy outlines the steps that must be
taken so that acts of corruption that have been identified, as much as
possible, can be processed according to legal provisions quickly, precisely,
and with a high level of legal certainty.
Observing the various strategies for eradicating
corruption above, the role of language in changing the perspective (mindset) of
the nation's children has not been touched. For this reason, studying the
perception of the use of the word "commission" in various formal and
non-formal institutional activities is essential as one of the solutions to
efforts to eradicate corruption in Indonesia.
CONCLUSION
The data shows that the
word commission is acceptable when used in a business context. Of 43 respondents,
40 agreed to use the word commission for business activities. In contrast,
three people said they disagreed. For political and bureaucratic activities, 35
people said they agreed, and eight people said they disagreed.
For activities related
to social organizations, there appears to be a pretty vigorous resistance; as
many as 13 respondents agreed, and 30 people stated they did not agree.
Meanwhile, there was a balance between agreeing and disagreeing with
educational activities. This is evident from the slight difference where as
many as 20 respondents agreed. In comparison, 23 respondents stated that they
disagreed.
A high attitude of
rejection was seen in 4 respondents who agreed to use the word commission in
religious activities; on the other hand, 39 respondents refused. Respondents'
positive attitude towards using the word commission is generally based on the
fact that the word commission is also used in various countries. Meanwhile, the
negative attitude of the respondents emerged due to the spirit of
anti-corruption and cynicism towards the behavior of corruptors who appear in
public as if they were innocent.
From the long notes on
Corruption Eradication Policies and Strategies in Indonesia, the researchers
finally concluded that the strategy for eradicating corruption should not only
be through a legal approach and even more so the military. However, eradicating
corruption must also be built and preceded by a collective will, namely a kind
of will and sincerity (willingness) from all parties to jointly build the
mentality of the nation's children so they do not fall prey to instant
behavior. One effort to build this mental attitude is
through understanding the language used. For this reason, it is necessary to
review whether using the word commission in all forms of state institutions is
still appropriate. This research is a starting point for language observers to
contribute to changing the mindset of the nation's citizens from an instant
culture to a culture of work and creation.
