THE IMPACT OF LEASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM USAGE, SYSTEM QUALITY AND INFORMATION QUALITY ON EMPLOYEE PRODUCTIVITY IN DIGITAL PROCUREMENT: THE MODERATING ROLE OF CORPORATE SUPPORT

2026-05-02T01:37:04+00:00

This study examines the effects of Lease Management System (LeMS) Usage, System Quality, and Information Quality on Employee Productivity, with Corporate Support as a moderating variable in a post-merger telecommunications company. The research employs an explanatory quantitative approach using a survey method involving a total of 109 respondents, consisting of internal employees and external partners engaged in lease asset management processes. Data analysis was conducted using PLS-SEM, encompassing evaluation of the outer model (validity and reliability) and the inner model (R-square, f-square, and path testing through bootstrapping). The results indicate that Information Quality has a significant effect on Employee Productivity, whereas LeMS Usage and System Quality do not show significant effects. In addition, Corporate Support is not proven to moderate the relationships between the three independent variables and Employee Productivity. These findings suggest that during the post-merger transition phase, administrative-process productivity is more sensitive to the accuracy, completeness and timeliness of information than to system usage intensity or technical system quality. The practical implications of this study emphasize the importance of strengthening data governance to maintain the quality of information generated by LeMS, which should be supported by hands-on training to enhance user adoption, as well as policy and SOP updates to ensure more consistent utilization of LeMS in administrative processes, thereby improving employee productivity.

Leadership Style, Quiet Quitting, And Employee Performance In Healthcare Institutions

2026-05-02T01:37:04+00:00

This study aims to examine how leadership style and the phenomenon of quiet quitting contribute to employee performance levels. The subjects of this research consist of all non-medical staff working at the Pindad Clinic and Hospital in Bandung. This study was initiated due to a substantial gap identified in previous research, namely the absence of studies specifically examining quiet quitting among non-medical personnel in Indonesia’s healthcare sector, as well as the limited empirical evidence on how perceptions of leadership shape psychological withdrawal tendencies within this work environment. This study applied a descriptive quantitative method by distributing surveys to a total of 107 participants drawn from a population of 146 non-medical employees. The measurement of the instrument employed a Likert scale consisting of five response options, and statistical analysis was conducted using SPSS with linear regression to assess direct relationships among the variables. The results of Hypothesis 1 reveal that leadership style positively affects performance, but the effect does not reach statistical significance. Meanwhile, the analysis of Hypothesis 2 confirms that quiet quitting exerts a significant negative effect on performance, where decreased quiet quitting behavior is associated with enhanced employee performance.

The EFFECT OF COMPENSATION AND WORK ENVIRONMENT ON LOYALTY THROUGH MOTIVATION AS AN INTERVENING VARIABLE AT THE REGIONAL SECRETARIAT OF JEMBER REGENCY

2026-05-02T01:37:04+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of compensation and work environment on the loyalty of Jember Regency Regional Secretariat employees, both directly and through work motivation as an intervening variable. The phenomenon of declining ASN loyalty due to low motivation, perception of unfair compensation, and suboptimal working conditions is the background of the research. A quantitative approach is used through surveys and Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis. The results of the study show that compensation and work environment have a positive and significant effect on work motivation, and directly increase employee work loyalty. In addition, work motivation has been shown to significantly mediate the influence of compensation and the work environment on loyalty, suggesting that motivation is an important psychological factor in strengthening the relationship between organizational rewards and employee loyalty. These findings indicate that the increase in ASN loyalty does not only depend on financial aspects, but is also influenced by the perception of fairness, comfort of the work environment, and motivational encouragement from leaders. Therefore, local governments need to implement fair compensation policies, create a healthy and collaborative work environment, and strengthen employee motivation through a sustainable performance coaching and reward system

In contrast, employee engagement is not able to mediate the influence of leadership on employee performance. These findings indicate that a positive work culture is a key factor in building employee attachment which further has an impact on improving ASN performance. This research provides practical implications for the Situbondo Regency Government to prioritize strengthening work culture and increasing employee engagement as the main strategy in improving the performance of ASN in a sustainable manner

THE EFFECT OF WORK MOTIVATION AND WORK DISCIPLINE ON EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE WITH JOB SATISFACTION AS MEDIATION AT FIFGROUP DENPASAR

2026-05-03T01:37:08+00:00

Organizational output at the individual level can be interpreted as the extent to which employees convert entrusted roles into tangible contributions that reflect both effectiveness and productivity. In order to scrutinize the determinants of such output within FIFGROUP Denpasar, an empirical assessment was conducted involving the entire workforce population of 93 personnel through a full enumeration approach. The analytical framework positioned motivational drive, affective attachment to work, and behavioral compliance with organizational norms as explanatory dimensions, while individual output served as the focal outcome construct. Data were elicited using scaled attitudinal measures and examined through a multivariate regression procedure to estimate relational intensity among constructs. The statistical estimations indicate that each explanatory dimension independently demonstrates a meaningful positive association with individual output. When integrated simultaneously, these dimensions collectively account for a significant proportion of performance variation within the institutional setting.

Conversely, the educational background in fiqh muamalah (Islamic commercial jurisprudence) of Sharia supervisory board members and credit risk have a negative impact on Sharia compliance.

The INFLUENCE OF LAZADA LIVE STREAMING AND FLASH SALES ON LAZADA USER PURCHASE DECISIONS IN CIREBON CITY

2026-05-03T01:37:08+00:00

Even with the relentless introduction of digital marketing tools, e-commerce platforms are facing a noticeable plateau, evidenced by falling conversion rates and waning consumer enthusiasm. Lazada, a dominant market player, bets heavily on live streaming and flash sales to drive revenue, yet it remains unclear whether these high-level strategies actually resonate within specific local markets. Addressing this gap, this research explores the precise impact of these tactics on the purchasing behavior of Lazada users in Cirebon City. The study employs a quantitative methodology anchored in Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), drawing data from 120 local respondents who actively engage with these features. The results are decisive: live streaming significantly boosts sales, driven primarily by the immediacy of real-time interaction, the trustworthiness of the host, and the immersive quality of the broadcast. Flash sales also demonstrate clear effectiveness, successfully converting users by manufacturing urgency through time limits and scarcity. While both strategies combined account for a substantial portion of purchasing decisions, live streaming emerges as the superior influence in driving consumer action.

The Polemics of Mauquf 'Alaih in Cash Waqf and Waqf through Cash: Perspectives from Shafi'i Fiqh and the Waqf Law

2026-05-03T01:37:06+00:00

The practice of cash waqf and waqf through money in Indonesia still faces problems, particularly concerning the protection of the rights of the mauquf 'alaih (beneficiaries) and the condition of perpetuity of the assets. This research aims to analyze the position and requirements of the mauquf 'alaih in these waqf schemes, as well as the legal implications if there is a deviation in management. The method used is qualitative research with a normative approach through a literature study of the Shafi'i school of thought (fiqh) literature and Law Number 41 of 2004. The research results show that: (1) there is a difference of legal status between classical Shafi'i fiqh which rejects cash waqf and Indonesian regulations that legalize it (2) the weak competence of nazhir which has the potential to eliminate the waqf status and harm the rights of the mauquf 'alaih (3) legal protection mechanisms through LKS-PWU and BWI supervision are not yet optimal and weak enforcement of sanctions. This research emphasizes the necessity of socializing cash waqf and waqf through money to the community, strengthening the competence of nazhir, and implementing mechanisms to protect the rights of mauquf 'alaih from the risk of investment losses or depreciation of productive waqf assets.

The Influence of Servant Leadership on Organizational Citizenship Behavior from an Islamic Perspective: The Mediating Roles of Job Satisfaction and Emotional Intelligence (A Study of Islamic Junior High Schools in Sleman, Yogyakarta)

2026-05-03T01:37:05+00:00

This study investigates the influence of servant leadership on organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) from an Islamic perspective, with emotional intelligence and job satisfaction as mediating variables among employees of State Islamic Junior High Schools (Madrasah Tsanawiyah Negeri, MTsN) in Sleman Regency, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected from 112 employees through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings indicate that servant leadership does not have a significant direct effect on OCB, suggesting that extra-role behaviors in Islamic educational institutions are primarily driven by intrinsic and spiritual motivations. However, servant leadership positively and significantly influences job satisfaction and emotional intelligence, both of which enhance OCB. Mediation analysis shows that emotional intelligence plays a significant mediating role in the relationship between servant leadership and OCB, whereas job satisfaction does not. These results underscore the importance of emotional intelligence as a key mechanism through which servant leadership fosters voluntary, prosocial, and value-based behaviors in an Islamic context. This study contributes empirical evidence to the literature on Islamic-based OCB and provides practical insights for human resource management in religious educational institutions.

These findings suggest that perceived value plays a strategic role in integrating religious, informational, and economic factors in shaping Muslim consumers’ decisions regarding halal cosmetic products.

THE EFFECT OF INSTITUTIONAL REPUTATION, FINANCIAL LITERACY, AND ACCOUNTABILITY ON M U ZAKKI'S TRUST WITH SATISFACTION AS AN INTERVENING VARIABLE (STUDY ON BAZNAS OF BANTEN PROVINCE)

2026-05-07T02:11:16+00:00

This study uses satisfaction as an intervening variable in BAZNAS Banten Province to examine the influence of institutional reputation, financial literacy, and accountability on the trust of muzakki (payers of zakat). The phenomenon of many muzakki choosing to distribute zakat independently rather than through official institutions indicates that the level of public trust in zakat management institutions is still low, which is the main reason for conducting this study. This study combines quantitative methods with descriptive-verification strategies. A sample of 100 respondents was selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected through questionnaires. Analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression and mediation tests using the Baron & Kenny and Sobel Test techniques. The research findings indicate that zakat payers' satisfaction is significantly influenced by institutional reputation, financial knowledge, and accountability. Only financial knowledge and satisfaction were found to have a significant influence on zakat payers' trust in the second model; reputation and accountability did not show a significant influence. Furthermore, the relationship between financial literacy and zakat payers' trust is strengthened by zakat payers' satisfaction, which acts as an intermediary variable. Overall, this study suggests that the primary strategy in building zakat payers' trust at BAZNAS Banten Province is improving financial knowledge and service quality, which fosters satisfaction. These results can be used as a basis for developing zakat management regulations that are more accountable, transparent, and focused on the needs of zakat payers.

The findings from the qualitative data confirm that the ability to manage finances is a key element of business success, while the value of Catur Piwulang serves as the basis of ethics and entrepreneurial character. This research emphasizes the need to combine the moral values of pesantren and financial ability in the development of pesantren-based entrepreneurship education.

LEGAL PROTECTION OF FACEBOOK USERS’ PERSONAL DATA IN INDONESIA UNDER THE PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION LAW

2026-05-06T01:37:14+00:00

The rapid advancement of digital technology has enabled seamless global communication, yet it simultaneously heightens the risk of personal data breaches. A salient example is the Facebook data incidents between 2018 and 2021 which affected millions of Indonesian users and revealed systemic weaknesses in data governance. Earlier regulatory instruments, particularly the Information and Electronic Transactions Law (UU ITE), provided limited remedies and made accountability for data controllers difficult to enforce. This study examines legal protections for personal data and the legal liability of Meta through a normative juridical method integrating statutory, conceptual, and case-based analyses using descriptive secondary data. The analysis focuses on key provisions of the Personal Data Protection Law, including Article 17, which guarantees data subject rights to access, correct, and delete their data; Article 18, which obliges controllers to implement adequate security measures to prevent breaches; Article 58, which establishes supervisory authorities to ensure compliance; and Article 75, which imposes administrative sanctions as a deterrent. These provisions collectively strengthen legal certainty for victims and address deficiencies in prior regulations by compelling global digital platforms to adopt higher compliance standards. In conclusion, the Personal Data Protection Law constructs a comprehensive protection regime by affirming user rights and enforcing sanctions effectively.

INTEGRATING RISK MANAGEMENT INTO PROJECT SCHEDULING: A CRITICAL PATH METHOD APPROACH IN COAL MINING DEVELOPMENT PROJECT

2026-05-07T01:37:15+00:00

This study analyses the integration of risk management into project scheduling in a coal mining development project. A mixed-methods case study was applied, combining interviews, observations, document analysis, and structured questionnaires. Project scheduling was conducted using the Critical Path Method (CPM), while risk assessment followed the AS/NZS 4360:2004 framework. The initial CPM analysis identified five activities on the critical path (A–B–D–E–F) with a total duration of 90 weeks. A risk assessment revealed thirteen potential risks, including two high-priority items, six moderate-to-high risks, four moderate risks, and three low risks. Control strategies such as avoidance, reduction, transfer, and acceptance were proposed to mitigate these risks. After incorporating risk management into the CPM schedule, the project duration extended to 94 weeks, reflecting additional preventive measures and contingency buffers. While the schedule lengthened, the revised plan provided greater resilience against disruptions and improved reliability for project execution. These findings indicate that integrating risk management into project scheduling produces a more realistic and achievable timeline, especially for large-scale and high-risk projects such as mining operations. Theoretically, this research contributes a framework for risk-adjusted scheduling by combining deterministic scheduling with proactive risk analysis. Practically, it offers project managers valuable guidance to minimize disruptions, enhance decision-making, and increase the probability of successful and timely project completion.

EFECTS OF LOCAL OWN-SOURCE REVENUE (PAD) AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE ON REGIONAL ECONOMIC GROWTH

2026-05-07T01:37:15+00:00

This research examined the direct and indirect effects of local own-source revenue (PAD) and capital expenditure on regional economic growth, with regional financial performance serving as a mediating variable in the former Pati Residency area of Central Java. This research analyzed two decades of panel data (2005–2024) from five regencies. The researchers applied path analysis using a random-effects model and test mediation with the Sobel test. The results reveal that PAD positively affects regional financial performance, whereas capital expenditure does not. The findings also indicate that PAD, capital expenditure, and regional financial performance do not affect regional economic growth. In addition, regional financial performance does not mediate the effects of PAD and capital expenditure on economic growth. These results imply that increasing regional fiscal capacity does not automatically drive real economic growth; therefore, policymakers need a more integrated approach that aligns budget planning with economic development strategies based on local leading sectors.

Keywords : PAD, capital expenditure, financial performance, regional economic growth, mediating variable

DO FAMILY OWNERSHIP AND GROWTH OPPORTUNITY AFFECT FIRM VALUE?

2026-05-07T01:37:14+00:00

This study investigates the effect of family ownership and growth opportunity on firm value, with female directors serving as a moderating variable. The research is motivated by the increasing dominance of family-controlled firms in emerging markets and the growing attention to gender diversity in corporate governance. The sample consists of consumer non-cyclical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) over the period 2022–2024. Data are analyzed using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) to examine both direct and moderating relationships among the variables. The results indicate that family ownership has a positive influence on firm value, suggesting that concentrated ownership may enhance monitoring effectiveness and long-term strategic orientation. Growth opportunity is also found to positively affect firm value, reflecting the market’s favorable response to firms with strong future growth prospects. Furthermore, the presence of female directors strengthens the relationship between family ownership and firm value, as well as between growth opportunity and firm value. This finding highlights the role of female directors in improving board effectiveness, decision-making quality, and governance transparency. Overall, this study provides empirical evidence that gender diversity on corporate boards contributes to higher firm value, particularly in family-owned firms. The findings imply that integrating female directors into board structures can enhance the positive impact of ownership structure and growth potential on firm performance, offering valuable insights for investors, policymakers, and corporate managers in Indonesia.

Lean Accounting to Reduce Lead Time in the Expenditure Cycle

2026-05-08T01:37:25+00:00

This study analyzes the causes of long payment lead times in the Accounts Payable (AP) process at PT XYZ, an oil distribution company, and suggests improvements based on Lean Accounting principles. The company's vendor payment lead time target is 5 working days, but actual lead times range from 8 to 11.25 days, with only 44–63% of the target achieved. Key issues identified include redundant verification steps, delays in three-way matching (PO, GR, and invoices), and the reliance on physical documents that cause waiting and transportation waste. The process also faces delays due to approval queues, repetitive checks, and document errors requiring rework. Data was collected through interviews with key personnel, field observations, and document analysis. The root cause analysis revealed that the current process is based on a traditional accounting model, focusing on control through multiple manual checks instead of prevention and automation. The proposed Lean Accounting-based improvements include: (1) simplifying verification to a single control point with ERP system support, (2) reducing approval levels from six to three, with spot checks for supervisors, (3) adopting accounting by exception for high-value transactions and new vendors, (4) streamlining document processing to avoid batch waiting, (5) digitizing the process with a vendor portal, and (6) improving error prevention early in the process to reduce rework.

Supplier Relationships, Trust, and Communication: Mediating Sustainable Procurement of Company Performance

2026-05-08T01:37:24+00:00

This article discusses the influence of supplier relationships, trust, and communication on supply chain performance, with continuous procurement as a mediating variable. The main problem faced is the low performance of the supply chain caused by the lack of cooperation between companies and suppliers, where awareness in maintaining relationships such as good communication and trust is lacking. The performance of the supply chain is greatly influenced by good cooperation between suppliers and their companies, thus it will support the improvement of operational efficiency and effectiveness. Strong relationships as well as a high level of trust and effective communication with suppliers can create a positive impact on sustainable procurement which ultimately improves the performance of a company's supply chain. This research method uses a quantitative method with a survey questionnaire to collect data from companies involved in the supply chain. Recommendations for future research are to explore more deeply about sustainable procurement practices across industries and their impact on long-term performance. The results of this study are expected to provide insights for companies in managing relationships with suppliers and implementing sustainable procurement to improve supply chain performance.

Evaluating the K-Cash Pilot Trial in Mutual Fund Transactions: A User-Centric Perspective

2026-05-08T01:37:24+00:00

This study examines the initial institutional user acceptance of the K-CASH (KSEI Cash Management System) during its pilot testing phase in mutual fund transactions. The initiative to develop K-CASH stems from the growing need to digitalize fund settlement processes that traditionally rely on virtual accounts, manual proof-of-transfer verification, and reconciliation procedures conducted by Custodian Banks, mechanisms that are susceptible to mismatches and may prolong the settlement cycle. The system, which is built upon the Investor Fund Unit Account (IFUA) structure, introduces real-time balance validation, automated fund locking, unit validation, and integrated settlement instructions through S-INVEST. Employing a qualitative case study approach, this research adopts the UTAUT framework, comprising performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, and the interview findings suggest the presence of behavioral intention among users. Data collection involved semi-structured interviews with five institutional users at PT X, complemented by pilot testing documentation. The findings indicate that users perceive K-CASH as a system with substantial potential to enhance operational efficiency by reducing reconciliation workloads and minimizing mismatches, despite the presence of several technical issues such as reporting filter errors. The system is generally considered user-friendly, supported by effective internal coordination and managerial endorsement. Regulatory influence was also identified as a critical driver of participation, positioning PT X as an early institutional adopter. Nonetheless, the study identifies significant external gaps, including limited industry participation, dependence on cross-institutional integration readiness, and the need for clearer regulatory mandates and transition guidelines. These factors suggest that the full-scale implementation of K-CASH will require not only internal institutional preparedness but also decisive regulatory support and broader industry alignment. Furthermore, interview results reveal the emergence of behavioral intention among users to adopt K-CASH once system stability and regulatory clarity are achieved. This study contributes to the literature on technology adoption in capital market infrastructures and provides practical implications for refining the full implementation strategy of K-CASH.

Determinants of Loyalty among Gen Z and Millennial Muslim Tourists in Jabodetabek toward Leading Halal Tourism Destinations in Indonesia

2026-05-08T01:37:24+00:00

This study aims to analyze the determinants of loyalty of Millennial and Gen Z Muslim tourists in Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) to leading halal tourism destinations in Indonesia. The primary focus is on the influence of destination image (affective and cognitive) on halal experiences, satisfaction, and tourist loyalty. Drawing on Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT) and Muslim consumer behavior theory, this study seeks to address the research gap regarding how urban Muslim tourists evaluate halal experiences at destinations in Muslim-majority and minority regions that are considered high-priority tourism destinations in Indonesia. The research method used was a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Primary data were obtained through an online questionnaire distributed to 137 Muslim Millennials and Gen Z respondents residing in Greater Jakarta (Jabodetabek) and having visited leading halal tourism destinations. The research instrument measured affective image, cognitive image, halal experience, satisfaction, and tourist loyalty using a five-point Likert scale. The results showed that affective image and cognitive image had a significant positive effect on halal experience and tourist loyalty. Halal experience was shown to have a very strong positive effect on tourist satisfaction, while tourist satisfaction did not have a significant direct effect on loyalty. These findings confirm that loyalty in the Millennial and Gen Z segments is shaped more by perceptions of destination image and halal experience than by satisfaction alone. Practically, this research provides important implications for halal destination managers to strengthen the emotional and rational aspects of providing Sharia-compliant halal services while building deep emotional bonds with young Muslim tourists.

Customer Loyalty in Islamic Digital Banking: The Moderating Role of Religiosity in the Effects of E-Service Quality and Brand Image

2026-05-08T01:37:23+00:00

This study investigates the determinants of customer loyalty in Islamic banking in Indonesia within a digital service context. Grounded in Expectation Confirmation Theory (ECT), the study examines the effects of e-service quality and brand image on customer loyalty, with religiosity considered as both a direct and moderating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 161 Islamic mobile banking users in the Jabodetabek region and analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that e-service quality, particularly efficiency and compensation, along with brand image and religiosity, has a significant positive effect on customer loyalty, whereas responsiveness shows no significant impact. Moreover, religiosity does not moderate the relationships between e-service quality or brand image and customer loyalty. These findings suggest that customer loyalty in Islamic digital banking is driven primarily by functional service performance and brand perception, with religiosity playing a supportive but non-interactive role.

The Role of Employee Engagement and Flexible HRM in Improving Employee Performance

2026-05-08T01:37:22+00:00

Employee performance is a critical factor for maintaining organizational competitiveness, particularly in specialized service industries such as maritime safety equipment inspection. Employee engagement and flexible human resource management (FHRM) are often considered key drivers of improved job performance. While previous studies have examined the relationship between employee engagement and flexible HR practices, most have focused on sectors such as information technology. Limited research has explored these relationships in the maritime safety service sector, particularly in Indonesia. The study employed a quantitative research method using non-probability sampling with accidental sampling approach. Data were collected from 170 employees across five ship safety equipment inspection companies in Batam (PT Global Marine Safety, PT Sucofindo, PT Devin Marine Safety, PT Mulia Safety Service, and PT Cahaya Samudra Marine). The research utilized PLS-SEM analysis with SmartPLS application, measuring variables through a 10-point Likert scale questionnaire distributed online from November 2024 to January 2025. The results demonstrate that all variables (employee engagement, flexible human resource management, and job performance) exhibit high validity and reliability. Direct path analysis reveals that employee engagement significantly influences both FHRM (β = 0.595, p < 0.001) and job performance (β = 0.545, p < 0.001). However, FHRM does not significantly affect job performance directly (β = 0.211, p = 0.093) and fails to function effectively as a mediator between employee engagement and job performance (β = 0.126, p = 0.069). This study extends the literature by examining employee engagement and FHRM in the maritime safety sector in Indonesia. The findings suggest that employee engagement plays a more direct and dominant role in enhancing job performance than flexible HR practices. Organizations in specialized service industries should therefore prioritize strategies that strengthen employee engagement to improve performance outcomes.

THE IMPLEMENTATION OF FULL CALL AUCTION ON TRADING VALUE AND PRICE MANIPULATION INDICATOR IN WATCHLIST STOCKS ON THE INDONESIA STOCK EXHANGE

2026-05-08T01:37:22+00:00

This research analyzes the impact of the Full Call Auction (FCA) policy on transaction values and indications of price manipulation in stocks listed on the Special Monitoring Board (PPK) of the Indonesia Stock Exchange (BEI). This policy was implemented to improve market orderliness and protect investors from the risk of manipulation, which commonly occurs in low-liquidity and high-risk stocks. The research questions include whether FCA causes a significant change in trading value and whether FCA can reduce indications of price manipulation as measured by liquidity, information asymmetry, and volatility. The study uses a comparative quantitative approach with an event study design, analyzing 171 PPK companies during the period of November 3, 2023 - August 26, 2025, using saturated sampling. Secondary data was obtained from BEI, including transaction values, bid-ask data, and stock prices, observed for 10 trading days before and after the implementation of FCA. Descriptive analysis results show that the average trading value increased by 24.46% after FCA, but this change was not statistically significant. Based on the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, liquidity and information asymmetry underwent significant changes after FCA, indicating an improvement in market quality and a reduction in information asymmetry among investors. However, volatility did not show a significant difference, meaning FCA has not yet fully stabilized price fluctuations. Overall, FCA is considered quite effective in reducing indications of price manipulation, especially through increased liquidity and decreased information asymmetry, although its impact on trading value and volatility remains limited in the short-term observation period.

The Influence of Knowledge Management and Innovative Work Behavior on Organizational Performance through Teacher Competence as a Mediating Variable in the Education Sector

2026-05-09T01:37:31+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge management (KM) and innovative work behavior (IWB) on the performance of educational organizations through teacher competence as a mediating variable. The research seeks to examine how KM and IWB contribute to enhancing teacher competence and, consequently, organizational performance in the education sector. The population of this study consists of private senior high school teachers in Batam City, with a sample of 185 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The research instrument was a five-point Likert scale questionnaire that had been tested for validity and reliability. Data analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares (PLS) through the evaluation of the measurement model (outer model) and structural model (inner model). The results indicate that KM and IWB have a positive and significant effect on teacher competence, with path coefficient values of 0.521 and 0.332, respectively. Teacher competence plays a significant role as a mediator in improving organizational performance, with indirect effect contributions of 0.430 for KM and 0.274 for IWB. This study highlights the integration of knowledge management and innovative work behavior in the educational context, particularly in enhancing teacher competence. The novelty of this research lies in using teacher competence as a mediating variable linking KM and IWB to organizational performance, an approach that is still rarely examined empirically in formal education in Indonesia.The findings provide practical implications for educational policymakers, particularly school management, to design programs that enhance teacher capacity based on knowledge and innovation sustainably. Developing teacher competence strategically can directly improve the effectiveness and competitiveness of educational organizations..

THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING ON MIE ENDESS PURCHASE DECISIONS THROUGH BRAND TRUST AS A MEDIATOR AMONG GENERATION Z CONSUMERS IN BANGKALAN REGENCY

2026-05-10T01:37:41+00:00

This study is motivated by the increasing use of social media among Generation Z as the main source of product information, which significantly influences purchasing behavior, particularly in the food and beverage sector. As a micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME), Mie Endess in Bangkalan Regency has implemented Social Media Marketing (SMM); however, its effectiveness is highly dependent on the level of Brand Trust established. This study formulates the problem of whether Social Media Marketing directly influences Purchase Decision and whether Brand Trust mediates this relationship. This study aims to analyze the effect of Social Media Marketing on Purchase Decision with Brand Trust as a mediating variable among Generation Z consumers of Mie Endess. A quantitative method was applied using purposive sampling, involving 120 respondents who had purchased Mie Endess and actively used social media.

WORKLOAD AND WORK-LIFE BALANCE ON EMPLOYEE JOB SATISFACTION: THE MEDIATING ROLE OF ADVERSITY QUOTIENT A STUDY AT BMT UGT SIDOGIRI CENTER

2026-05-10T01:37:40+00:00

This study examines the effect of workload and work-life balance on employee job satisfaction, with adversity quotient as a mediating variable. The research is grounded in the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model, which explains how job demands, job resources, and personal resources shape employees’ work outcomes. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed, involving all 70 employees of BMT UGT Sidogiri Pusat as research respondents using a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through structured questionnaires and analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The findings indicate that workload and work-life balance do not have a significant direct effect on employee job satisfaction. However, adversity quotient significantly mediates the relationship between workload and job satisfaction, while it does not mediate the relationship between work-life balance and job satisfaction. These results suggest that employee job satisfaction is not solely determined by working conditions, but is also influenced by individual psychological resilience in coping with work demands. This study highlights the importance of strengthening employees’ adversity quotient as a personal resource to maintain job satisfaction, particularly in organizations with high job demands such as Islamic microfinance institutions

The Effect of Non-Performing Financing and Financing to Deposit Ratio on Capital Adequacy Ratio in Sharia Commercial Banks in Indonesia

2026-05-10T01:37:40+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of Non-Performing Financing (NPF) and Financing to Deposit Ratio (FDR) on Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) in Sharia Commercial Banks in Indonesia, both in the short and long term. The main problem studied is how financing risks and the effectiveness of intermediation affect the capital resilience of Islamic banks in the midst of financial industry dynamics. This study uses a quantitative approach with an associative design and time series data for the 2018–2024 period sourced from the publication of the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The analysis methods used included ADF stationarity test, optimal lag test, VAR stability test, Granger causality test, Johansen cointegration test, and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) estimation, which was complemented by Impulse Response Function (IRF) and Variance Decomposition (VD) analysis. The results showed that all variables were stationary at the first difference level and there were three cointegration relationships, which indicated a long-term relationship between variables. The VECM estimate shows that NPF has a negative and significant effect on CAR in the long term, while FDR has no significant effect on either the short or long term. Granger's causality test found a one-way relationship from CAR to NPF, while the relationship between FDR and CAR was insignificant. These findings indicate that the strengthening of Islamic banks' capital is more influenced by the quality of financing than the intermediation function. This research contributes empirically in enriching the literature on Islamic banking stability and provides policy implications for regulators and bank management in prioritizing financing risk control to maintain sustainable capital adequacy.

Then it continued using TOWS matrix which was applied after identifying key internal and external factors to formulate strategic options. The analysis shows that CHEMICALLOY’s primary strengths are high product quality, technical expertise, and long-term supplier relationships, while its main weaknesses involve limited local responsiveness and high lead times. Opportunities exist in growing infrastructure demand, whereas threats come from aggressive local competitors and exchange rate volatility. The study proposes three main strategic implications: enhancing customer responsiveness through maximizing local warehousing and CRM integration, strengthening consultative and value-based selling to highlight efficiency benefits and profit to customers, and developing localized marketing initiatives to improve brand proximity. Overall, the results focus in integrating global product excellence with localized service responsiveness is critical for sustaining CHEMICALLOY’s competitive advantage in Indonesia’s galvanizing market.

THE INFLUENCE OF WORKLOAD AND PERCEPTION OF ORGANIZATIONAL SUPPORT ON WORK PRODUCTIVITY OF EMPLOYEES IN THE OPERATIONS DEPARTMENT OF PT XYZ BANDUNG

2026-05-11T01:37:44+00:00

Work productivity plays an important role in achieving company goals because it reflects the company's ability to manage resources effectively and efficiently. However, research findings at PT. XYZ Bandung indicate that work productivity is not optimal and has the potential to hinder the achievement of company goals. Productivity is influenced by several factors, such as workload and perceived organizational support. Based on data on targets and realizations for the CT7 engine work in 2020–2024, there was a decrease in targets and realizations in 2024 even though the aviation sector had stabilized, and delays in engine work still frequently occurred. This study aims to determine the influence of workload and perceived organizational support on work productivity among employees of the Operations Department of PT. XYZ Bandung, both partially and simultaneously. This study uses quantitative methods that include descriptive and associative data analysis, and the type of data used is primary data. Respondents totaling 60 employees of the operations department at PT. XYZ Bandung were given a questionnaire. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression and data processing was conducted using SPSS version 26. The results of the study indicate that workload partially has a positive influence on employee work productivity, while perceived organizational support has no influence on employee work productivity, but simultaneously has an influence on employee work productivity. This means that the more appropriate the workload given by the company is to the potential and capacity of employees, the more work productivity will increase. Meanwhile, the lack of influence of perceived organizational support indicates that in carrying out their work, employees are more oriented towards fulfilling their duties and responsibilities to the company.

THE IMPACT OF GREEN BUSINESS, PACKAGING QUALIITY AND PRICE ON CONSUMER PURCHASE INTEREST OF MIXUE MSMEs

2026-05-11T01:37:44+00:00

The high level of competition among retail MSMEs in selling contemporary beverages necessitates innovation and creativity among business owners in developing their sales strategies. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of green business practices, packaging quality, and price on consumer purchasing interest of Mixue MSMEs in Bogor Regency. This study used a quantitative method with an associative approach, a type of research that aims to explain systematically, factually, and precisely the facts and characteristics of a particular object or population. The sampling technique in this study was non-probability sampling with a purposive sampling technique, which is a sampling technique based on specific considerations. The participating respondents were 45 people with the criteria of having purchased Mixue products more than 4 times, being at least 17 years old, following the @mixueindonesia Instagram account, and residing in Bogor Regency. The test tools used included data quality testing, classical assumption testing, influence testing, and hypothesis testing using SPSS 26 software. The test results show that the green business and quality variables partially influence the purchasing interest of Mixue MSME consumers in Bogor Regency. However, there is no reason to state that the price variable influences the repurchase interest of Mixue MSME consumers. The results also show that the green business, packaging quality, and price variables simultaneously influence the purchasing interest of Mixue MSME consumers in Bogor Regency.

OPTIMIZING INVENTORY IN THE RECEIVING & STOREKEEPER DEPARTMENT OF A HOTEL USING THE MIN-MAX METHOD

2026-05-11T01:37:46+00:00

Inventory management plays a crucial role in hotel operations due to its direct impact on service continuity and cost control. Improper inventory management may result in excessive storage costs or operational disruptions caused by stock shortages. This study aims to analyze inventory optimization in the Receiving & Storekeeper department of a hotel using the Min–Max method. The research adopts a quantitative approach utilizing secondary data in the form of hotel inventory records. The analysis involves the calculation of safety stock, minimum stock, maximum stock, as well as inventory costs, including holding cost and ordering cost, accompanied by an inventory optimization index assessment. The results indicate that all analyzed inventory items are in optimal condition, as the actual stock levels remain within the established minimum and maximum limits. Furthermore, the total ordering cost exceeds the holding cost, reflecting a procurement pattern characterized by frequent orders with relatively small order quantities. These findings demonstrate that the Min–Max method is effective in maintaining inventory availability while controlling inventory-related costs, and can support more measured decision-making in hotel inventory management.

THE MODERATING EFFECT OF FIRM SIZE ON THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CAPITAL STRUCTURE AND PROFITABILITY: INDONESIAN MANUFACTURING FIRMS (2020–2024)

2026-05-11T01:37:44+00:00

This study examines the effect of capital structure on profitability and the moderating role of firm size in Indonesian manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2020–2024. Employing a quantitative approach with purposive sampling, 102 companies with complete financial data were selected, yielding 510 observations. Profitability, measured by Return on Assets (ROA), Tobin’s Q, and Earnings Per Share (EPS), serves as the dependent variable, while capital structure, proxied by Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) and Debt to Market Capitalization Ratio (DMCR), is the independent variable. Firm size is included as a moderator, and Annual Sales Growth (ASG) and Firm Age (FAGE) are control variables. Secondary data were obtained from company annual reports and Bloomberg, and analysis was conducted using panel data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) in EViews. The results show that DAR does not significantly affect profitability, while DMCR negatively and significantly affects ROA. Firm size moderates only the negative effect of DMCR on ROA, indicating that larger firms can better manage debt and reduce operational profitability risks. ASG positively affects ROA, and FAGE positively influences ROA but not Tobin’s Q or EPS. These findings provide insights into capital structure management, operational efficiency, and the strategic role of firm size.

THE EFFECT OF MINIMUM WAGES, AND THE GENDER DEVELOPMENT INDEX ON LABOR PRODUCTIVITY IN INDONESIA

2026-05-11T01:37:43+00:00

Workforce productivity serves as a fundamental gauge of macroeconomic achievement, as it captures how effectively and qualitatively human capital transforms inputs into measurable output. This research is designed to investigate the influence of statutory minimum wages, the Gender Development Index (GDI), export activity, import activity, and mean per capita expenditure on labor productivity across Indonesia throughout the 2018–2023 timeframe. The study utilizes secondary panel data, integrating cross-sectional observations from six provinces with longitudinal data spanning six consecutive years. To assess the intervariable dynamics, panel regression analysis is conducted through the Common Effect Model (CEM). The empirical findings reveal that minimum wage levels exert a positive and statistically significant impact on labor productivity, implying that wage increases are associated with improvements in worker effectiveness and overall efficiency. Average Per Capita Expenditure also shows a positive and significant effect and emerges as the most dominant variable influencing productivity. In contrast, the Gender Development Index, Exports, and Imports do not exhibit statistically significant effects during the observed period. These findings imply that improvements in wage policy and economic welfare play a more direct role in increasing labor productivity than trade activities and gender development indicators in the short term.

Analysis of the Indonesian Government's Policy on High Rice Prices Amid Abundant Supply from the Perspective of Islamic Economics

2026-05-13T01:38:01+00:00

The persistent rise in rice prices in Indonesia, despite an ample national stock, highlights a disconnect between food availability and affordability, thereby threatening the nation's food security. This paper explores the root causes of rice price fluctuations, evaluates the effectiveness of distribution mechanisms, and analyzes how Islamic economic principles especially the insights of Imam Ibn Taymiyyah and Imam Ibn Qayyim al-Jawziyyah can inform effective policy responses. Utilizing a literature review approach, the study draws upon data related to rice production, distribution channels, and pricing trends, while also incorporating a normative analysis rooted in the Maqashid Shariah framework. The analysis identifies key contributors to inflated rice prices, including inefficient distribution networks, market control by dominant entities (oligopoly), and weak pricing regulations. Within the Islamic economic paradigm, these issues represent a departure from the ideals of justice and societal welfare. Classical Islamic thinkers advocated for state involvement in price regulation (tas’ir), the prohibition of hoarding (ihtikar), and the fair distribution of resources as mechanisms for safeguarding public interests. Policy recommendations include modernizing agricultural production, enhancing distribution efficiency through targeted subsidies, and reinforcing government regulation in the marketplace to promote price stability and ensure the well-being of both producers and consumers.

The research problem focuses on the differences in Return On Equity (ROE) before, during, and after participation, as well as changes in DuPont components and their correlation to ROE. The analysis methods include descriptive analysis, comparative analysis, and correlation testing of DuPont components consisting of tax burden, interest burden, operating profit margin, asset turnover, and financial leverage. The research results indicate that companies' participation in the inaugural IDX Carbon transaction was not followed by a significant change in ROE in the short term. However, there were adjustments in the ROE-forming structure, especially an increase in interest burden pressure and the important role of operational efficiency and asset utilization in maintaining profitability. This research concludes that the impact of carbon trading on companies' financial performance is transitional and is more reflected through the dynamics of DuPont components than through aggregate changes in ROE.

Islamic Banking Development, Monetary Policy, and Economic Growth: A Panel Moderated Regression Approach for Selected Islamic Countries

2026-05-14T01:38:11+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of Islamic banking developments and monetary indicators on economic growth in nine Muslim-majority countries, with inflation as a variable This study uses a quantitative method with Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) estimation panel data using secondary data sourced from SESRIC and the World Bank for the 2013–2023 period. Total Assets (TA) has a significant positive effect on economic growth, while Total Funding and Equity (TFE) and Broad Money (BM) have a significant negative effect. The variables of Sukuk Holdings (SUK), Exchange Rate (ER), and inflation do not show a direct influence on GDP. The moderation results show that inflation acts as a quasi-moderator in the TA and TFE variables, but does not become a moderator in BM, SUK, and ER. These findings confirm that price stability is an important prerequisite for the transmission of monetary policy and the intermediation function of Islamic banking to contribute optimally to the real economy. This research contributes novelty by including inflation as a moderation variable in the context of cross-border Islamic finance, as well as providing practical implications for monetary authorities to strengthen macro stability in the development of the Islamic finance industry.

2026-05-14T01:38:10+00:00

This study aims to examine the influence of participation in skill competition and trainer quality on employee performance, with learning motivation as a mediating variable. The study is grounded in the organizational phenomenon observed at PT Pabrik Kertas Tjiwi Kimia Tbk, where manpower productivity increased despite substantial workforce reduction, raising the need to explore factors that may contribute to improve performance, particularly competency development initiatives delivered through structured skill competitions. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed, involving 226 employees who participated in a company wide skill competition within the paper manufacturing industry. The data were analysed using PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4.1.1.4. The results demonstrate that participation in skill competition and the trainer quality have a positive and significant influence on the both motivation and employee performance. Learning motivation was also found to partially mediate the effects of both variables on performance. This motivation was also found to partially mediate the effect of both variables on performance. These findings indicate that competition based learning activities and high quality instructional facilitation are essential drivers of intrinsic motivation and performance improvement. Moreover, the result strengthen the relevance of Self-Determination Theory (SDT), Transfer of Training theory, and provide empirical support for the Resource-Based View (RBV) within industrial settings. Future research opportunities include exploring long term dynamics and broader organizational factors that may further shape these relationships.

The Effect of Profitability, Leverage, Liquidity, and Firm Size on Earnings Management with Gender Diversity as a Moderating Variable

2026-05-15T01:38:15+00:00

This study aims to analyze the effect of firm characteristics – profitability, leverage, liquidity, and firm size – on earnings management, with gender diversity on the board of directors as a moderating variable. Using panel data from food and beverage industry companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2019 – 2023, the study finds that profitability has a positive and significant effect on earnings management, while leverage, liquidity, and firm size have no significant effect. Gender diversity negatively moderate the relationship between profitability and earnings management, indicating that the presence of women on the board can reduce earnings manipulation during profitability. In contrast, gender diversity positively moderate the firm effect of firm size, suggesting that in larger firms, it may strengthen the tendency toward earnings management. Gender diversity does not moderate the effect of leverage and liquidity on earnings management. These findings contribute to agency theory by demonstrating that profitability creates an incentive misalignment between managers and shareholders, which can lead to earnings manipulation. However, gender diversity can strengthen monitoring and reduce agency conflicts, though its effectiveness varies by context. These results imply that the effectiveness of gender diversity as a governance mechanism depends on specific firm conditions.

Analysis of the Influence of Severity, Firm Size, Free Asset, and Asset Retrenchment on Corporate Turnaround in the Property & Real Estate Sector Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the Period 2020-2024

2026-05-15T01:38:14+00:00

This study aims to analyze the effect of severity, firm size, free assets, and asset retrenchment on the success of corporate turnaround in Indonesian property and real estate companies experiencing negative return on assets (ROA). The study uses a quantitative approach with binary logistic regression on 21 companies selected through purposive sampling in the 2020–2024 period. Corporate turnaround is identified based on the company's ability to continuously emerge from negative ROA conditions. The test results show that severity has a negative effect on the probability of corporate turnaround success, although it is not statistically significant. Meanwhile, firm size, free assets, and asset retrenchment also had no significant effect on the success of performance recovery. These findings indicate that conventional financial indicators and ratios are not yet able to adequately explain the dynamics of corporate turnaround in the property and real estate sector, which is asset-intensive, illiquid, and highly influenced by economic cycles. This study confirms the gap between the theoretical framework based on financial indicators and the empirical reality of the property sector, and emphasizes the importance of a multidimensional approach that incorporates non-financial factors in the analysis of corporate turnaround.

Effectiveness of Software Project Management Based on Capability Maturity Model Integration in the Implementation of Secure Software Development Life Cycle at PT XYZ

2026-05-16T01:38:24+00:00

This study evaluates the implementation of the Secure Software Development Life Cycle (S-SDLC) and examines the effectiveness of software project management based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) version 3 at PT Magicsoft Teknologi Indonesia. A qualitative research approach was employed using in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation analysis. Empirical findings were triangulated and mapped against S-SDLC indicators and twelve CMMI v3 Practice Areas (PAs) grouped into Doing, Managing, and Enabling. The findings indicate that S-SDLC has been integrated throughout the software development lifecycle, positioning security as a built-in process rather than a reactive add-on. Security-relevant practices collectively enhance software quality, system stability, and preventive security governance. With regard to project management effectiveness, the study shows that most PAs reached Capability Level 3 (Defined), reflecting a mature level of process standardization at the project level. However, effectiveness was more prominent in terms of quality, security, and process control, while schedule performance faced pressure due to workload imbalances and resource capacity constraints. These findings highlight that software project effectiveness is inherently multidimensional and cannot be assessed solely through schedule adherence. The study contributes to theory by demonstrating that CMMI v3 can serve as an evaluative framework compatible with S-SDLC and enriches project management discourse by positioning security as an integral dimension of process effectiveness. Practically, the study provides a fit-for-purpose internal evaluation framework for software development organizations seeking to improve process maturity without formal appraisal.

Evaluation Revealing Errors: A Study of Cross-Divisional Cost Recording Systems in Multi-Batch Projects at PT X

2026-05-17T01:38:25+00:00

This study aims to evaluate cross-divisional cost recording systems in a multi-batch project at PT X by examining recording failures as a structural and systemic organizational phenomenon. A descriptive qualitative approach with a single case study design was employed. The units of analysis included the Finance Division as the guardian of data integrity, the Product Division as the producer of cost data, and the CEO as the strategic decision-maker. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, internal documents, and project records, and analyzed using triangulation. The findings indicate that cost recording problems cannot be interpreted merely as technical errors but rather as consequences of a recording and control system design that is misaligned with the characteristics of batch-based projects. Misalignment between the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) and the Budget Plan weakened the linkage between planning and realization, resulting in reactive cost control. Evaluation conducted after Batch 2 led to improvements in Batch 3, where increased detail and separation of fixed and variable costs enhanced cost accuracy, although systematic evaluation mechanisms remained limited.
