The purpose of this study is to understand the characteristics of Follower's Personal Mastery in the construction industry where followers are the givers of ideas and knowledge. We recognize the construction industry as one of the project-based organizations, has stiff competition criteria and the need for innovation in a short time span, so this research is very important because innovation results from the exchange of ideas and knowledge between leaders and followers ( Nahapiet & Ghoshal, 1998) through the Leader-member Exchange (LMX) mechanism (Dewanto, 2013). Leaders are known to have comprehensive general knowledge, while followers are known to have deep specialized knowledge (Hobday, 2000; Dewanto, 2013). The higher the Follower's Personal Mastery level, the higher the quality of the exchange of ideas and knowledge that is exchanged between followers and leaders. We chose research conducted in a construction State-Owned Enterprise (BUMN) in Indonesia which has many branches throughout the region, so that it is able to represent the construction industry. This study involved all 121 projects spread across Indonesia that existed at the time of data collection. The analytical method used in this research is descriptive statistical analysis, and the participation rate is 97.52 percent. The findings show that Follower’s Personal Mastery Variables has a high level with a mean of 4.56, especially In-Process Behavior 4.77 and Output Behavior 4.73.

Presidential Regulation No. 191/2014, regulates the subsidy policy for Gas Oil, which is a fixed subsidy. Meanwhile, the retail selling price of Gas Oil will fluctuate in the society according to the formula calculation. However, since April 2016 the price of Gas Oil has been fixed. In certain cases, the determination of the retail selling price may differ from the calculation of the formula considering the state's financial capacity, the purchasing power of the people, and the real economy. This research will examine the influence of the state's financial capacity, the purchasing power of the people, and the real economy, either partially or simultaneously, on the policy of determining the retail sale price, and its impact. The test was carried out through multiple linear regression analysis using IBM Statistics 20. The results showed that the state's financial capacity and the real economy had a significant effect on the retail selling price policy for JBT Solar Oil. Meanwhile, people's purchasing power does not have a significant effect. The determination of the retail selling price of Gas Oil that is not in accordance with the calculation formula may give an impact on society, business entities, and the government.

The purpose of this study is to understand the relationship between the Knowledge Exchange & Combination (KEC) and the Leader-Member Exchange (LMX). The research uses objects in the construction industry, which have characteristics: intense competition between players, innovation must be created in a short time and is a form of project-based organization. This study uses a unit of analysis of the dyadic relationship between the general manager as the leader and the project manager as a follower, the research sample is in the form of 121 projects scattered throughout the country, while the research object is an SOE construction company in Indonesia. The participation rate was 97.52 percent, namely 118 projects, while the analysis used descriptive statistics and correlation methods. The results showed that the KEC variable was correlated with the LMX variable, especially with the Influence Dimension of 0.789 and the Dimension of Professional Rewards 0.700. Therefore, KEC can be represented by LMX's perception of followers.

The objective of this research is to understand the characteristic of the LMX relationship between leader and follower in the construction industry (in the context of a project-based organization) with followers as the provider of ideas and knowledge. This research is conducted in a construction state-own enterprise (SOE) in Indonesia, selected due to tight competition and the consequential need for innovation within short timescales. This study involves all 121 projects that existed at the time of data collection, and the unit of analysis is a dyadic relationship between general managers (as leader) and project managers (as a follower). Of these dyads, only 118 dyads can be analyzed (97.52 percent participation rate) and the analysis method used in this study is descriptive statistical analysis. The findings indicate the presence of statistic similarity between leaders and followers in case: the man’s gender 98,3%, regional origin match 42,4%, similarity level of education 39,8%, the similarity of ownership of construction certification 71,2%, the duration of the current working relationship with the leader for 13 to 24 months (49,2%), the duration of knowing current leader in the company for above 5 years (60%). Therefore, the demographic similarity is an important characteristic of high-quality LMX.
