Dynamics of Psychological Empowerment Through Self-Efficacy to Enhance Performance of Sabhara Personnel, North Sumatra Regional Police

2025-12-08T08:30:43+00:00

Performance is the level of success achieved by an individual in quality and quantity from task completion, aligned with job standards and organizational goals. This study examines psychological empowerment's influence on Sabhara Division personnel performance in the North Sumatra Regional Police, with self-efficacy as mediator. It employs quantitative methods and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a 279-person sample. Data sources include HR performance appraisals (June–December 2024, period II), psychological empowerment scales, and self-efficacy scales. Findings show self-efficacy is not a strong intervening variable for performance improvement among Sabhara personnel. Direct psychological empowerment enhancement yields greater effects than indirect paths. Practically, organizations should prioritize direct empowerment, supported by clear roles and structures, to boost Sabhara performance while mitigating negatives. Non-significant mediation highlights contextual factors—like organizational constraints, leadership, or resources—as key in Indonesian police contexts for linking empowerment to outcomes.

Authoritarian Parenting and Emotion Regulation in Late Adolescence

2025-11-27T04:39:39+00:00

Adolescence is a development stage that is emotionally vulnerable, and parenting plays a crucial role in shaping a child's ability to manage emotions. This study aims to examine the relationship between authoritarian parenting and emotion regulation in late adolescents. A quantitative approach with a correlational design was employed. The participants consisted of 350 late adolescents aged 18–22 years, selected using accidental sampling. The instruments used were the Parental Authority Questionnaire (PAQ) to measure authoritarian parenting and the Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) to assess emotion regulation. The results revealed a significant negative correlation between fathers' authoritarian parenting and emotion regulation (r = -0.226; p < 0.01), as well as between mothers' authoritarian parenting and emotion regulation (r = -0.254; p < 0.01). These findings indicate that the higher the level of authoritarian parenting received by adolescents, the lower their ability to regulate emotions adaptively. This highlights the importance of supportive and open parenting in fostering adolescents' emotional development.

The Effect of Financial Anxiety, Financial Literacy, and Consumptive Lifestyle on the Welfare of Generation Z in Greater Jakarta

2025-11-27T01:15:41+00:00

Generation Z in Indonesia faces mounting financial pressures, including rising living costs, housing unaffordability, and economic uncertainty, which threaten their financial well-being. This study examines the influence of financial anxiety, financial literacy, consumptive lifestyle, and parental financial support on the financial well-being of Generation Z in Greater Jakarta. Financial literacy is operationalized into knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors. Data were collected through an online survey using purposive self-selection techniques, yielding five hundred respondents aged fifteen to thirty. The instruments include financial anxiety scales, financial well-being measures, financial behaviors, and consumptive lifestyle indicators that have been adapted and tested for reliability. Exploratory factor analysis shows that financial anxiety, financial literacy behavior, consumptive lifestyle, and financial well-being each form unidimensional and reliable constructs. The results of multiple linear regression reveal that financial literacy behavior has the strongest positive effect on financial well-being, while financial anxiety has a significant negative effect. A high level of parental financial support is negatively related to financial well-being. On the other hand, knowledge of financial literacy and consumptive lifestyle do not show meaningful influence. These findings confirm that practical financial habits and money-related emotional states determine financial well-being more than theoretical financial knowledge or consumption patterns.

This study aims to analyze the role of the oil palm plantation subsector in the Gross Regional Domestic Product of West Kalimantan Province. The data used in this study is annual secondary data on oil palm production volume, number of labor, and Gross Regional Domestic Product of West Kalimantan Province during the 2018-2023 period. The research method used is the fixed effect panel data regression analysis method . The results of this study show that the role of the oil palm plantation subsector in the Gross Regional Domestic Product of West Kalimantan Province is positive and significant. This can be seen from the influence of the volume of palm oil production and the number of workers on the GDP of West Kalimantan Province is positive and significant both partially and simultaneously.

Optimizing the Role of DJKI in Preventing Trademark Disputes in Indonesia (A Comparative Study Between Indonesia and the United States)

2025-12-08T08:16:43+00:00

A trademark constitutes an essential component of intellectual property rights, serving as the identity and distinguishing mark of products or services in commercial activities. Indonesia's trademark registration system follows the first to file principle under Law Number 20 of 2016 concerning Trademarks and Geographical Indications. However, this system remains vulnerable to abuse by parties acting in bad faith, as evidenced in the LOPSTER vs. LOBSTER case (Medan Commercial Court Decision Number 1/Pdt.Sus-HKI/Brand/2025), where a trademark registered in bad faith successfully passed the administrative examination at the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (Direktorat Jenderal Kekayaan Intelektual, DJKI). DJKI possesses limited authority to reject trademark applications based on bad faith elements, resulting in trademark cancellations being processed exclusively through Commercial Court litigation. This study employs normative juridical research with statute and comparative approaches to analyze DJKI's role in the trademark registration process and compare it with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) system, which operates under the first to use principle requiring evidence of actual trademark use in commerce. The comparative analysis reveals that the USPTO's verification mechanism for actual use effectively prevents speculative registrations and bad faith applications. The findings demonstrate that optimizing DJKI's role requires implementing a hybrid approach that maintains the first-to-file structure while integrating actual use verification mechanisms, thereby enhancing preventive functions and reducing trademark disputes that reached over 156,860 cases during 2021–2025. This research contributes practical recommendations for strengthening DJKI's examination procedures and policy formulation to provide more effective legal protection for business actors

The Influence of Omnichannel Retailing, Customer Engagement, Customer Satisfaction, and Technology Acceptance Models on Customer Retention: An Alfagift Case Study

2025-11-28T07:39:04+00:00

This study analyzes the influence of omnichannel retailing, customer engagement, customer satisfaction, and the technology acceptance model on customer retention among Alfagift app users. Despite the growing role of omnichannel strategies in digital retail, a significant research gap persists in Indonesia regarding their effects through engagement and satisfaction mediation, as well as technology acceptance moderation. Employing a quantitative approach with PLS-SEM (Structural Equation Modeling) analysis version 4.0.9.9, the study involved 300 active Grabmart Alfagift users who regularly utilize the platform. Results show that omnichannel retailing lacks direct impact on retention (β = 0.049, p > 0.05) but significantly affects it through engagement (β = 0.256, p = 0.001) and satisfaction (β = 0.231, p = 0.010) mediation. The technology acceptance model strengthens this relationship considerably. Theoretically, this research confirms the crucial mediating role in the customer retention process; practically, Alfagift should enhance personalized engagement strategies, improve app usability and functionality, and develop seamless offline-online integration to boost customer retention effectively and maintain competitive advantage in the digital retail landscape.

Unpacking the Dimensions of Augmented Reality, Digital Influencers and Brand Loyalty: Hybrid Approach of Bibliometric Analysis and Systematic Literature Review

2025-12-08T08:37:56+00:00

This research highlights the dimensions involved in each variable that emerged from previous studies and identifies the indicators associated with the dimensions of augmented reality, digital influencers, and brand loyalty. It employs Publish or Perish and VOSviewer software for bibliometric analysis. The data sources include Scopus, ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, Sage, and SpringerLink. The findings reveal similar and distinct dimensions and indicators for augmented reality, digital influencers, and brand loyalty. Similarities appear in the augmented reality dimensions related to experience, effect, interactivity, and vividness. Digital influencers relate to effectiveness, characteristics, attractiveness, authenticity, credibility, parasocial relationships, sponsorship, original value, persuasiveness, power, trust, and uniqueness. Brand loyalty relates to indicators such as willingness and purchase intention. The bibliometric maps reveal new variables and indicators for measuring augmented reality, digital influencers, and brand loyalty. This research model can be extended by combining variables, dimensions, and indicators as recommendations for future studies, with implications for researchers and practitioners in marketing. These findings offer practical implications for researchers developing comprehensive measurement instruments and for practitioners designing integrated marketing strategies that leverage augmented reality technology and digital influencer engagement to enhance brand loyalty.

Najib Kailani and the Construction of Eastern Identity: Representation of Society in Egyptian Arabic Literature

2025-11-27T01:06:51+00:00

The profound impact of colonialism and Westernization has often been overlooked in studies examining the portrayal of Eastern identity in Arabic literature. This research examines two novels by Najib Kailani, Al-Yawmu Al-Maw'ūd (1960) and Mawakib Al-Ahrār (1985), which reconstruct two distinct colonial periods using Egypt as a narrative setting. The primary aim of this study is to identify and analyze the narrative techniques employed by Kailani to depict Eastern societies and his endeavor to construct and preserve an Eastern identity. Using a qualitative method grounded in the theoretical approaches of narratology, representation, identity, and Occidentalism, this research addresses an urgent and novel gap by elucidating how Eastern identity is constructed in Arabic literature as a response to colonialism and the hegemony of Western discourse. In doing so, it adopts an epistemological approach rooted in Eastern perspectives. The study argues that the novels reaffirm the role of Arabic literature as a medium of resistance and a means of strengthening the collective identity of Eastern societies in the face of colonial and cultural hegemony.

The Authority of Notaries in Drawing Up Inheritance Certificates Made Outside the Domicile of the Deceased for Land Registration

2025-08-20T07:47:35+00:00

An Inheritance Certificate is often required for land registration, in this case it is stated in Article 111 paragraph (1) of ATR/BPN Ministerial Regulation Number 16 of 2021 concerning land registration. And after the changes to the PMA it was stated that Notaries have the authority to make inheritance certificate deeds for all Indonesian citizens without distinguishing between population groups. However, to exercise the authority of a Notary, he must be in the same position as the testator's residence at the time of death. The problem formulation in this research is (1) What is the authority of a Notary in making a Deed of Inheritance for land for Indonesian citizens? (2) What are the legal consequences of a Deed of Inheritance Certificate made by a Notary located outside the testator's residence for land registration?. This type of research uses normative legal research, the approach used is a statutory-regulatory approach, a contextual approach. Data collection was carried out through literature study and then explained in normative juridical terms. The research results show that (1) Notaries have the authority to make inheritance certificate deeds. This is based on Article 15 of Law Number 2 of 2014 concerning the Position of Notaries, which gives authority to Notaries to make authentic deeds including inheritance certificate deeds and Article 111 paragraph ( 1) Republic of Indonesia ATR/KBPN Ministerial Regulation Number 16 of 2021 that the inheritance certificate deed made by a Notary is not only valid for Indonesian citizens of Chinese descent

The Influence of Service Quality and Customer Perceived Value on Intention to Purchase Sacrificial Animals with Customer Satisfaction as a Mediating Variable at Magribi Farm

2025-12-08T08:38:26+00:00

The failure to achieve sacrificial animal sales targets at Magribi Farm—with only 60% of targets met from 2022 to 2024—poses significant challenges, including unmet profit targets and increasing operational costs. This study investigates how service quality and customer perceived value influence purchase intention for sacrificial animals, with customer satisfaction as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative cross-sectional approach, data were collected from 135 Magribi Farm customers through structured questionnaires and analyzed using structural equation modeling (SEM) with LISREL software. Results indicate that service quality significantly affects customer perceived value (, ). Both service quality and customer perceived value positively influence customer satisfaction (coefficients = 0.37 and 0.55, respectively) and purchase intention (coefficients = 0.21 and 0.33, respectively). Customer satisfaction also significantly mediates the relationship between service quality, customer perceived value, and purchase intention. These findings provide actionable insights for improving service delivery and marketing strategies in the sacrificial animal industry, emphasizing the critical roles of service excellence and value creation in driving customer satisfaction and purchase behavior.

2025-11-27T01:33:11+00:00

The construction industry, particularly in housing development, plays a strategic role in meeting the need for adequate housing, supporting economic growth, and improving the quality of life for communities. However, the implementation of housing projects faces complex challenges, such as pressure to meet high quality standards, tight schedules, and limited budgets. Factors such as communication aspects and leadership competence play a significant role in decision-making to enhance project performance. This study aims to analyze various factors that influence the quality and performance of projects in housing development, including the influence of communication and leadership competence in decision-making to improve project performance. In addition, this research also evaluates the relationship between decision-making and project performance, as well as the mediating role of decision-making in the relationship between communication aspects and leadership competence on project performance. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. Data were collected through a closed-ended questionnaire using a Likert scale and analyzed using statistics. The analysis includes descriptive analysis and PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling), covering both the outer model and inner model measurements. The results of this study revealed a significant relationship between communication aspects and project leadership competencies on decision-making, as well as the impact of decision-making on overall project performance with a percentage of 73.6%. Furthermore, decision-making plays an important mediator in strengthening the relationship between the two variables of communication aspects and project leadership competencies with project performance with a percentage of 49.4%.

Perceptions of Teacher Communication Styles in Managing Classroom Behavior in Australian High Schools

2025-12-08T08:36:41+00:00

This qualitative study examines Australian high school students’ perceptions of teacher communication styles in classroom behavior management. While disciplinary practices are often analyzed from institutional perspectives, this research prioritizes student voices to explore how communication is experienced, interpreted, and shapes classroom dynamics. Semi-structured interviews with Year 10 to Year 12 students across three diverse schools revealed key themes related to fairness, empathy, and emotional impact. Findings indicate that students respond more favorably to communication that balances authority with respect and clarity with compassion. Negative reactions—such as disengagement or resistance—often arose from communication perceived as harsh, public, or demeaning. Conversely, calm and respectful interactions fostered trust and engagement. The study underscores the significance of relational communication in behavior management, suggesting that effective discipline is not just procedural but fundamentally interpersonal. These insights offer valuable implications for teacher training, advocating for strategies that uphold student dignity while cultivating positive classroom environments.

Refining Employer Branding to Attract Generation Z Talent: A Case Study in an Indonesian Infrastructure SOE

2025-12-08T08:40:20+00:00

This study aims to develop a data-driven employer branding strategy to enhance the attractiveness of a state-owned infrastructure enterprise to Generation Z (Gen Z) talent in Indonesia. Despite the company’s national significance and stable reputation, recent declines in applicant interest—particularly within the national joint SOE recruitment program—indicate a misalignment between its employer value proposition and the expectations of emerging job seekers. Using a quantitative approach, this research surveyed 205 external Gen Z respondents and 62 internal Gen Z employees. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) identified five key employer branding dimensions: Organizational Attributes, Job Attributes, Workplace Attributes, Compensation & Rewards, and Social & Altruistic Value. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) revealed that external Gen Z candidates are primarily influenced by Compensation & Rewards. The Importance-Performance Matrix Analysis (IPMA) indicated underperformance on several critical indicators valued by Gen Z, including autonomy, inclusive culture, value alignment, and transparent evaluation. These findings suggest that the company’s current branding lacks differentiation and fails to resonate with Gen Z’s aspirations. The study contributes to the limited empirical research on employer branding within state-owned enterprises by combining external and internal perspectives and applying advanced analytical tools. Practical implications include reevaluating communication strategies, enhancing employee experience programs, and refining social value initiatives to attract and retain Gen Z talent. The proposed framework also serves as a reference for other public-sector organizations seeking to modernize their employer branding in an increasingly competitive labor market.

Implementing Combined Process (Mediation-Arbitration) in Industrial Relations Dispute Resolution: A Legal Justice Perspective

2025-11-27T04:16:53+00:00

Combined Process (Mediation-Arbitration) is an innovative Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanism that unifies mediation’s flexibility and party autonomy with arbitration’s finality and enforceability. This hybrid offers a potentially more effective means of resolving Industrial Relations disputes. Although successfully applied in countries like China, Singapore, and the United States, Indonesia’s legal system lacks explicit provisions for this mechanism, creating uncertainty in its regulation and enforceability. This study aims to examine the use of the Combined Process (Mediation-Arbitration) for resolving industrial relations disputes and analyze it through the principle of legal justice. Using a normative juridical approach, the research reviews relevant laws and regulations to explore how this mechanism is implemented. Indonesia’s Law No. 2 of 2004 governs mediation and arbitration separately but does not explicitly acknowledge the Combined Process, leading to procedural ambiguity and unclear jurisdictional boundaries. This regulatory gap hinders the mechanism’s effective implementation despite its advantages in promoting efficiency and party satisfaction. The study finds that the Combined Process (Mediation-Arbitration) aligns with legal justice principles by fostering balance, transparency, and participation in dispute resolution. However, it requires formal legislative recognition and clear procedural rules to ensure legal certainty and practical effectiveness within Indonesia’s industrial relations framework.

Factors Contributing to Students' Sleep Quality at SMKN 1 Narmada in 2024

2025-11-26T12:59:12+00:00

Decreased sleep quality is something that is often found and continues to increase every year throughtout the world. Adolescents are an age group that often has poor sleep quality. Poor sleep quality can disrupt psycho and physiological balance. The aim of this research is determine the factors that contribute to the quality of sleep of students at SMKN 1 Narmada. This research method uses a cross sectional design with proportionate stratified random sampling. The number of samples is 84 students. The dependent variable in this study is sleep quality, while the independent variables are age, gender, helath status, stres, coffe consumption, smoking, environment and screen time. The data was processed desriptively and presented in the form of a frequency distribution table. The research results obtained were that the sleep quality of the dominant respondents in the bad category was 61 people (72,6%). The factors that contribute to students sleep quality are health status (ρ=0,046), stress (ρ=0,027), coffe (ρ=0,030) and and screen time (ρ=0,000) while factors that do not contribute to quality students sleep quality are age (ρ=0,421), gender (ρ=0,258), smoking (ρ=0,713), and environment (ρ=0,178). Screen time is the most dominan factor with an Exp (ꞵ) value of 7,546. The conclusion is that there is a relationship between health status, stres, coffe consumption and screen time with student`s sleep quality while age, gender, smoking and environment factors have no relationship with student`s sleep quality.

Analysis of Interactive Communication, Incentive Program and User Experience on Bank Customer Decision Through Brand Image as Intervening Variable (Study on BNI Mobile Banking Users)

2025-12-08T08:14:07+00:00

The background of this research stems from the rapid digital transformation in banking, which has not been fully matched by financial literacy and public understanding of digital services, as well as research gaps in previous findings on the influence of digital marketing variables on brand image and customer decisions. This study aims to analyze the influence of Interactive Communication, Incentive Program, and User Experience on bank customer decisions, with brand image as an intervening variable, among customers using Bank BNI digital banking services in Semarang City. The research addresses the gap between rapid digital transformation in banking and limited financial literacy, as well as inconsistencies in previous research findings. This study employs a quantitative approach with proportionate random sampling and Partial Least Squares (PLS) analysis. The results show that interactive communication and user experience have positive and significant effects on brand image, while the incentive program has a positive but insignificant effect. Brand image has a positive and significant influence on bank customer decisions, positioning it as an important link between digital marketing strategies and customer decisions. These findings confirm that strengthening interactive communication and superior user experience is more critical for brand image formation than merely providing financial incentives, offering strategic implications for banking management in designing competitive digital marketing strategies.

The Factors Causing Discrimination Against Indonesian Women in the Workplace, Mapping of Problems from 2012 to 2022

2025-12-02T07:36:57+00:00

Indonesia, one of the world's most populous nations with a significant female population, continues to face workplace gender discrimination despite legislative frameworks and improving gender equality rankings. Although Indonesia rose to 92nd globally in 2022 (from 99th in 2021), gaps between policy and practice remain, especially regarding women’s participation and advancement in employment. This study fills a critical research gap by systematically mapping factors behind workplace discrimination against Indonesian women. A search across four major databases (ScienceDirect, Emerald Insight, Sage, and Taylor & Francis) for "discrimination against Indonesian women in the workplace" yielded 5,605 results. After filtering, 38 peer-reviewed empirical studies from 2012 to 2022 focused on this issue were included. The research identified multiple discrimination factors: cultural beliefs, inability to do heavy or fieldwork, sexual harassment, religion, low education levels, domestic conflict, mistrust, fear of competition, bureaucracy, withholding worker documents, disability, sexism, neoliberalism, virginity stigma, marital status, racial and ethnic differences, LGBT issues, egocentrism, feminism, workforce age, communication, lookism, and lack of community support. Culture was the leading factor (22% of studies), followed by perceptions of physical capability (10%), sexual harassment (8%), and educational barriers (8%). These findings show how Indonesian workplace discrimination results from the complex interplay of traditional gender norms, institutional structures, and economic pressures.

Financial Literacy Analysis in Encouraging Sustainable MSMEs Business Performance Mediation Financial Access and Adoption Fintech

2025-11-26T13:31:45+00:00

Many MSMEs still face fundamental challenges such as limited access to formal financing, low financial literacy, and slow adoption of digital technology, including fintech. Sustainable business performance requires business actors not only to survive economically but also to manage their businesses efficiently, have a long-term orientation, and adapt to market and technological dynamics. The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of financial literacy on the sustainable performance of MSMEs by examining the mediating role of financial access and fintech adoption. The method in this study uses the Structural Equation Modeling – Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach with the assistance of SmartPLS software. This research is a quantitative explanatory study, with the population consisting of MSMEs in Kediri City. The results show that financial literacy does not directly affect MSME performance, but it plays an important role in expanding financial access. This financial access then becomes a significant mediating pathway that connects financial literacy with business performance. Thus, financial literacy will only contribute effectively to MSME performance if it is accompanied by the ability to access and utilize financial services productively. Meanwhile, fintech adoption has been shown to play no significant role, either directly on performance or as a mediator between financial literacy and business performance. This indicates that the use of financial technology remains limited to basic transaction functions and has not been fully integrated into MSME business strategies.

Analysis of Obstructing Factors for the Implementation of Lean Construction in Hauling Road Construction with A Multiple Linear Regression and Swot Analysis Approach

2025-12-08T08:16:51+00:00

Infrastructure development in the mining sector plays a crucial role in supporting Indonesia's economic growth, with the sector contributing approximately 7–8% of total GDP. However, infrastructure projects face significant challenges related to inefficiency, with more than 40% experiencing delays due to waste and poor resource management. Lean Construction, adapted from Lean Manufacturing principles and introduced by Lauri Koskela in 1993, offers a systematic approach to eliminating waste and enhancing project value. This research aims to analyze the barrier factors affecting Lean Construction implementation in hauling road construction projects and to formulate strategies to overcome these barriers. Using a quantitative approach, this study employed multiple linear regression analysis to examine the relationship between barrier factors (managerial, workforce, organizational, and external factors) and Lean Construction implementation. Data were collected through expert validation and questionnaires from 50 respondents involved in hauling road construction. The results show that these four factors simultaneously influence Lean Construction implementation by 57.7%, with the workforce factor being the most dominant ( ). SWOT analysis identified strategic recommendations, including enhanced Lean Construction training programs with certification, optimization of Lean Tools technology, improved communication systems, and structured organizational commitment. This research contributes to the body of knowledge on Lean Construction implementation in the Indonesian mining infrastructure context and provides practical guidelines for contractors to overcome implementation barriers.

2025-11-27T04:07:36+00:00

This study is motivated by the need for effective marketing strategies to boost purchase intention of innovative products in the construction industry. The literature review discusses theories of consumer behavior, marketing mix, and empirical findings on the effects of quality, price, and promotion on purchase decisions, supported by works from Kotler & Keller, Hair et al., and recent scholars such as Azizah & Prasetya (2023) and Setiawan & Sunaryo (2024). The research employs a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), with data collected through questionnaires from 100 users of interlock bricks in Java. The results indicate that all three independent variables quality, price, and promotion have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention, with an R-square value of 0.716. Product quality emerged as the dominant influence, followed by price and promotion. Validity and reliability tests confirm that all indicators meet the required thresholds. The study concludes that simultaneous efforts to enhance product quality, adjust pricing strategies, and implement educational promotions can effectively increase consumers’ purchase intention toward PT SIG’s precision interlock brick products.

Assessing Investment Decisions and Stock Performance Using Neurolinguistic Programming in the Indonesian Capital Market

2025-12-08T08:47:41+00:00

This study investigates the influence of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) techniques on investment decisions and stock performance in the Indonesian capital market. It highlights psychological factors in investor behavior, particularly cognitive biases leading to irrational decisions. NLP application enables better emotional management, enhanced decision-making, and improved outcomes. The quantitative study used surveys and interviews with 150 retail investors from Indonesian stock communities, trading groups, and certification institutes, selected via purposive sampling (maximum two years' experience). Partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) tested relationships between NLP, decisions, and performance. Findings show NLP significantly impacts both (, on decisions; , on performance). Investment decisions also influence performance (, ) and partially mediate the NLP-performance link (, ). This contributes to behavioral finance by integrating NLP into investment psychology. Practically, financial institutions should offer NLP training to help novice retail investors—who dominate the market—manage emotions, reduce biases, and boost portfolio performance.

Development of Asphalt Mixing Plant Information System at PT. X Jabodetabek Asphalt Mixing Plant Production Unit to Reduce Material Waste

2025-11-29T01:45:45+00:00

This study aims to develop a web-based AMP Information System at PT. X Jabodetabek Production Unit to reduce material waste in the asphalt production process. The existing condition shows significant deviations in material usage, including screening (9.28%), split (15.38%), asphalt (6.84%), and diesel (9.07%), which exceed the company’s waste tolerance limit of 5%. The research employs a descriptive method with both quantitative and qualitative approaches, involving archival analysis, literature review, questionnaires, interviews, and expert validation to address three research questions (RQ1–RQ3): identifying waste-related problems, developing the AMP information system, and evaluating the effect of the system on material waste reduction. The findings indicate that the main causes of material waste include frequent material rejection, mixing errors, and equipment damage, with the highest Relative Importance Index (RII) value of 0.88. The developed system features a three layer strategic dashboard monthly accumulation, daily monitoring, and real time monitoring that visualizes sensor status, temperature, material usage, and deviations from the JMF. Based on a comparative case study between two AMPs, the application of the information system reduced material waste from 4.28% to 4.14% in AMP 1 and from 4.84% to 4.79% in AMP 2. The study concludes that the development of an integrated AMP information system plays a vital role in improving operational efficiency and production quality control.

The Influence of Intellectual Capital on Financial Performance

2025-12-08T08:06:46+00:00

This study examines the impact of intellectual capital components on the financial performance of banking institutions in Indonesia. Using multiple regression analysis on 149 bank-year observations from 2019 to 2023, we investigate the influence of human capital efficiency (HCE), structural capital efficiency (SCE), capital employed efficiency (CEE), and technological capital efficiency (TCE) on bank performance, as measured by return on assets (ROA). The findings reveal that human capital (β = 0.005, p < 0.001) and capital employed (β = 0.012, p < 0.05) significantly enhance financial performance, while structural capital (β = -0.007, p < 0.001) exhibits a significant negative effect. Notably, technological capital shows no significant impact on bank performance (p > 0.05). The model explains 79.8% of the variance in financial performance (Adjusted R² = 0.798). These results suggest that Indonesian banks rely more heavily on tangible capital and human resources than on structural and technological investments for profitability enhancement.

Legal Protection for Workers in Situations Where the Company is Not Operational Normally Due to Criminal Acts

2025-11-27T04:22:03+00:00

Protection of workers' rights becomes a crucial issue when corporate assets are confiscated by the state due to Corruption and Money Laundering (TPPU). This condition creates a jurisdictional conflict because the preferred creditor mechanism in labor law (Article 95 paragraph (4) of the Labor Law) cannot be applied to assets that are under criminal confiscation status. This difference in legal regimes creates a normative vacuum (rechtsvacuüm) which results in workers losing their legal position and economic rights, as reflected in the case of PT Duta Palma Group. This study uses a normative method to analyze legal accountability and formulate a mechanism to guarantee the fulfillment of workers' rights. The results of the study indicate that effective protection can only be realized through three main mechanisms: (1) A Joint Procedural Mechanism in the form of Mediation followed by Arbitration to produce a final and binding determination of the amount of workers' rights; (2) An Administrative Mechanism through the Attorney General's Office policy (Perja) which requires the recognition and provision of funds based on the results of arbitration decisions; and (3) Legislative mechanisms in the form of cross-sectoral legal reconstruction to clarify the priority of paying workers' rights over state-seized assets. This approach functions as an instrument of efficiency, the realization of restorative, corrective, and rehabilitative justice, and guarantees legal certainty and the protection of workers' human rights.

This study aims to demonstrate the efficacy of processed pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L.) combined with iron-folic acid supplementation in increasing hemoglobin and hematocrit levels following blood donation. Processing of Undis Bean (Cajanus cajan L.) and Iron-Folic Acid Supplementation Increase Hemoglobin and Hematocrit Levels Post-Blood Donation. This experimental research employed a randomized pre-test/post-test control group design. Sixty-four blood donors aged 17–65 years who successfully donated at the Badung Regency Red Cross Mobile Unit in July 2024 were enrolled and divided into two groups: control group (K) receiving iron-folic acid supplementation (IFAS) only, and treatment group (P) receiving IFAS with 50 grams of processed pigeon pea daily. The intervention was administered for 7 days, after which hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were examined using the Photometric Point of Care Testing (POCT) method. Results demonstrated significant increases in both hemoglobin and hematocrit levels between pre-test and post-test in each group (p=0.000). Comparison between groups revealed significantly greater hemoglobin increases in group P (p=0.028) and hematocrit increases in group P (p=0.015). This study concludes that providing processed pigeon pea combined with IFAS for 7 days significantly increases hemoglobin and hematocrit levels after blood donation, offering a practical nutritional intervention to support post-donation recovery.

Factors Influencing Consumer Decisions in Choosing Circumcision Service Providers in Malang City: The 7Ps Marketing Mix Approach

2025-12-02T07:38:50+00:00

The circumcision service industry in Malang City has grown rapidly, with a 46.84% increase in clinics over five years, intensifying competition among providers. Consumer decision-making in elective healthcare services such as circumcision involves factors beyond medical considerations. This study examines the factors influencing consumer choices of circumcision clinics using the 7Ps marketing mix framework. A quantitative approach was employed, distributing questionnaires to 195 parents who used circumcision services for children under 12 during 2023–2024 in Malang. Using purposive sampling, the data were analyzed through Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess construct validity and variable relationships. Results show that only four marketing mix elements significantly influenced decisions: price, process, product, and people. Meanwhile, place, promotion, and physical evidence were not significant. This suggests consumers prioritize fair pricing, service quality, efficient procedures, and professional staff over clinic location, advertising, or interior design. The study’s novelty lies in focusing specifically on specialized circumcision clinics within Malang City, a category previously understudied despite its economic relevance. Limitations include a narrow geographic focus and a quantitative design, which may overlook emotional or subjective factors. Future research should expand geographically and incorporate qualitative or mixed methods for deeper insight into consumer motivations.

2025-11-28T07:57:12+00:00

This study aims to explore the entrepreneurial intention of Generation Z students to continue their family businesses, focusing on the underlying cognitive and motivational factors that shape these intentions. A qualitative research design was adopted, employing in-depth interviews with eight generation Z undergraduates’ students from Universitas Pendidikan Nasional (Undiknas), Bali. Respondents were selected through purposive sampling and met specific criteria. The study integrates Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) and Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT) as dual theoretical lenses. Data were analyzed using Mayring’s content analysis to identify recurring themes and theoretical linkages. The finding reveals three key themes influencing Gen Z students’ intention: family influence, economic and perceived benefit, and intrinsic factors. This study also discovers the communication process is a factor that support the intention toward entrepreneurship. The integration of TPB and SCCT provides multidimensional understanding the cognitive evaluations and motivational belief interact in shaping entrepreneurial intentions. Although conducted in Bali, this study did not deeply examine the influence of Balinese cultural values, suggesting an opportunity for future research to incorporate cultural dimension into family business succession studies.

In contrast, poor communication practices lead to confusion, disengagement, and reduced productivity. The literature also emphasizes the growing need for digital communication skills among managers, especially in hybrid and remote work environments. The paper concludes that internal communication is not merely a support function but a key leadership tool essential for effective management in today’s complex organizations. Organizations that prioritize communication training and cultural alignment are more likely to cultivate effective leaders and long-term success. This study encourages future research on the intersection of communication, leadership, and technology in modern business contexts.

The Effect of Attractiveness of Virtual Influencer Towards the Consumer Attitudes in Developing Intention to Purchase – A Case Study of Fast Food Restaurant

2025-12-08T08:45:59+00:00

Arbie SEO’s performance has marked an astonishing success in the Richeese Factory promotional campaign. However, despite high engagement on social media, most audience interactions and attention focus solely on Arbie SEO rather than the promoted products or the brand, which raises concerns about the actual impact of virtual influencers in developing consumer purchase intention. This study explores the effect of virtual influencer attractiveness on consumer attitudes and purchase intention, using Arbie SEO as a case study. A quantitative method was employed through a structured questionnaire targeting Gen Z respondents located in Jabodetabek and Bandung. The collected data were further processed using the SEM-PLS method. The findings of this study show that the virtual influencer’s attractiveness (Arbie SEO) has a significant and positive impact on purchase intention both directly and indirectly. Consumer attitudes play a mediating role in the attractiveness aspect in triggering consumer purchase intention. In the case of Arbie SEO, its attractiveness has been proven to have a direct effect on purchase intention, whereas most previous studies state that attractiveness alone does not have a direct effect on purchase intention. Furthermore, this research offers strategic business recommendations for utilizing the high engagement of Arbie SEO to translate attention into actual purchasing actions.

The Effect of Digital Communication Load on The Mental Health of Gen Z Employees in Educational Institutions With Fear of Missing Out as A Mediation Variable

2025-08-05T06:08:08+00:00

The transformation of organizational communication from conventional forms to digital platforms has reshaped the way individuals interact within the workplace. While the acceleration of information flow through digital media enhances efficiency, it also introduces new psychological pressures, particularly for Generation Z employees who are highly connected online. This study aims to examine the effect of digital communication overload on the mental health of Generation Z employees in educational institutions, with Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) serving as a mediating variable. Employing a quantitative approach with Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the research draws upon data from 253 respondents—consisting of lecturers and academic support staff aged 22 to 28 years—at Telkom University in Bandung. The findings reveal that digital communication overload has a significant effect on mental health (β = 1.033; t = 111.882; p = 0.000) and significantly increases FoMO (β = 0.973; t = 272.540; p = 0.000). FoMO exerts a negative effect on mental health (β = −0.034; t = 3.581; p = 0.000) and acts as a significant mediator in the relationship between digital communication overload and mental health (β_ind = −0.033; t = 3.586; p = 0.000). This study underscores the urgency of implementing adaptive digital communication policies that are grounded in psychological well-being, particularly for young professionals in academic settings.

Improving Tuberculosis Patient Adherence through Collaborative Governance and Public Values in Palembang City

2025-12-08T08:34:58+00:00

Tuberculosis (TB) remains one of the most significant public health issues globally, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The City of Palembang, Indonesia, has been identified as a high-burden area for TB, which poses challenges in achieving the national and global elimination targets by 2030. This study explores the roles of collaborative governance and public value in enhancing patient adherence to TB treatment in Palembang. Using qualitative research methods, including in-depth interviews and focus group discussions (FGD) with TB patients, healthcare providers, and stakeholders, this research aims to understand how collaborative governance structures and patients' perceptions of public value influence treatment adherence. The study finds that effective collaboration between government agencies, healthcare facilities, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) plays a critical role in improving TB service delivery and treatment adherence. However, challenges remain in the areas of data sharing, coordination, and resource allocation, which hinder the full potential of collaborative governance. Furthermore, the research reveals that patients' adherence to treatment is significantly influenced by their perception of public value, such as feeling respected, having access to equitable healthcare, and trusting the healthcare system. Patients who feel valued and treated with dignity are more likely to adhere to their treatment regimen, while stigma and discrimination remain significant barriers to adherence.

Automatic Adjustment on the Ministry of Finance’s Expenditures 2022–2024

2025-11-26T13:27:32+00:00

To survive and strengthen the financial sector during and after the pandemic, the Indonesian Government introduced a technocratic innovation policy called the automatic adjustment policy (blocking budget) from 2022 to 2024. This policy prioritizes activities and types of spending for ministries and institutions. The ministry of finance, the main fiscal manager, had a spending realization of 97.81% in 2022 and 97.47% in 2023. This is higher than the average budget absorption of 95% for ministries and institutions each year, there are concerns that the automatic adjustment at the ministry of finance may not run optimally. The research focuses on how the ministry of finance enforces automatic adjustment from 2022 to 2024. It used a qualitative thematic approach. Data were obtained through interviews with the budgeting department, documentation, document studies, and literature studies. The results show that the ministry of finance implemented automatic adjustment based on national policy criteria and priority needs. This policy strengthens the culture of efficiency, better spending, and the momentum for new work patterns in the ministry of finance, while also considering organizational and national goals.

The Distribution System of Joint Property in Polygamous Families from the Perspective of Islamic Law Compilation and Civil Code

2025-11-26T13:35:46+00:00

This research discusses the Distribution System of Joint Property in Polygamous Families from the Perspective of the Islamic Law Compilation and the Civil Code. In this context, polygamy refers to the practice of a man marrying more than one wife simultaneously. This practice is still permitted in some countries, including Indonesia, although debates about its impacts and consequences continue. One of the recurring issues in polygamous families is the division of joint property or joint assets. Based on this background, the author raises the problem formulation: How is the regulation of joint property for polygamous families according to the Islamic Law Compilation and the Civil Code. How is the distribution system of joint property to wives in polygamy according to the Islamic Law Compilation and the Civil Code. This research is a normative legal study using a statutory approach, a case approach, and a conceptual approach. Data collection is conducted through literature study with both primary and secondary legal materials. The existing legal materials are then examined and analyzed using the approaches employed in this study to address the legal issues raised. Based on the results of this research, the regulation of joint property for Muslims is governed by Law No. 1 of 1974 on Marriage and the Islamic Law Compilation, specifically Article 65 Paragraph (1) and Article 94 Paragraph (1). For non-Muslims, it is regulated by the Civil Code, specifically Article 128.

Implementation of Tax Hostage Taking (Gijzeling) in Indonesia in the Perspective of Tax Compliance and Deterrence Effect

2025-12-08T08:12:40+00:00

Indonesia has reformed its tax system into a self-assessment framework that grants taxpayers the autonomy to independently calculate, report, and settle their tax obligations. However, this system faces significant enforcement challenges due to increasing tax arrears and low taxpayer compliance. When administrative instruments such as warning letters, forced collection notices, and asset confiscation prove ineffective, tax hostage-taking (Gijzeling) emerges as an ultimum remedium designed to create a deterrence effect. This study employs a normative legal method with conceptual and legislative approaches to analyze the effectiveness of tax hostage-taking from the perspectives of tax compliance and deterrence effect. Findings reveal that, theoretically, Gijzeling serves as a law enforcement instrument aimed at enhancing taxpayer compliance through criminal sanction threats that induce fear. However, empirical evidence demonstrates that tax hostage-taking has not effectively increased state revenue, as its deterrent impact is limited to directly affected taxpayers and fails to influence broader taxpayer behavior. Consequently, Gijzeling cannot serve as a primary strategy for improving tax compliance. Instead, sustainable compliance requires integrated approaches that strengthen voluntary compliance through enhanced literacy, transparency, and reconstruction of public trust.

Comparative Analysis of Operational and Investment Costs Between Diesel Trucks and Electric Trucks in Coal Transportation Activities in West Kutai Regency

2025-12-03T08:38:49+00:00

This study aims to compare investment and operational costs between electric trucks (Electric Vehicles/EV) and diesel trucks (Internal Combustion Engine/ICE) in coal transportation activities in Kutai Barat Regency. The main issue addressed is the high investment cost of electric vehicles and their suboptimal operational productivity compared to conventional vehicles. A employed using descriptive statistics and the non-parametric Mann–Whitney U test. Data were collected from actual operational measurements of both vehicle types. The results show that electric trucks have significantly higher investment costs than diesel trucks. However, in terms of energy efficiency, electric trucks offer significant savings up to 72.9% in energy costs. Meanwhile, operational and total costs between the two truck types were not statistically different. In terms of productivity and daily output capacity, diesel trucks were significantly superior. These findings suggest the adoption of a mixed-fleet strategy and underscore the importance of developing supporting infrastructure such as swab charging stations to optimize the role of electric vehicles in the mining sector.

Determinant Behavioral Factors in Adolescent Anemia: Logistic Regression Analysis

2025-12-15T07:06:50+00:00

The incidence of anemia in the study location is the highest in Central Java, based on anemia screening among adolescent girls. Anemia during adolescence can negatively affect growth and development, brain function, learning capacity, and future reproductive health. Several factors may influence the occurrence of anemia in adolescents, including knowledge, habits, dietary practices, tea consumption, parental support, and participation in the school-based iron supplementation program TTD. This study aimed to analyze the role of behavioral determinants in the incidence of anemia among adolescents. This study employed a quantitative cross-sectional design. The population consisted of female tenth-grade students from public senior high schools and vocational high schools in East Tegal District, Tegal City, totaling 913 students. A sample of 90 respondents was selected using proportional random sampling. Data were collected through interviews and hemoglobin measurements. Data analysis was conducted using the Chi-square test and multivariate binary logistic regression. The results showed that tea consumption habits (p = 0.015), parental support (p = 0.002), and participation in the TTD consumption movement at school (p = 0.008) were significantly associated with the incidence of anemia in adolescents. Meanwhile, knowledge (p = 0.098) and consumption of iron-containing foods (p = 0.377) were not significantly associated with anemia. Parental support was identified as the most dominant factor, with a p-value of 0.005 and an odds ratio (OR) of 6.0. Collaboration between schools and community health centers is expected to strengthen parental education and anemia prevention efforts among adolescent girls.

Innovative Investigation and Strategy for Improving the Performance of 70% Alumina Refractory Roofs Against Thermal-Slag Corrosion and Extreme Temperatures in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF) in the Nickel Matte Production Process

2025-12-03T08:39:51+00:00

This study investigates the performance of 70% alumina refractories on the roof of an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) in the nickel matte smelting process. The methods used include material characterization through X-Ray Fluorescence (XRF), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), and Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispersive X-ray (SEM-EDX), thermodynamic simulation using FactSage, and thermal stress simulation based on Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The results of the study show a significant decrease in Al₂O₃ content to below 16% in the corrosion zone, as well as an increase in Fe₂O₃ which triggers the formation of corrosive hercynite (FeAl₂O₄) and magnesium spinel (MgAl₂O₄) phases. FactSage simulations confirmed the stability of these phases at temperatures of 1200–1400 °C. FEA results identified maximum stress concentrations in the central zone of the roof, approaching the strength limit of the refractory material. Based on these findings, the proposed mitigation strategies include: optimizing the brick geometry design to reduce stress (most realistic in the short term), increasing the alumina content and decreasing Fe₂O₃ in the refractory material (potentially effective, but requires economic evaluation), and controlling the furnace temperature distribution (most technically challenging). This study provides a comprehensive approach to designing more reliable and durable EAF refractories.

Exergy, Emission, and Operational Cost Analysis of Cofiring Coal-Fired Power Plant Systems

2025-12-08T08:09:14+00:00

Indonesia's electricity sector remains heavily dependent on coal-fired steam power plants (PLTU), which account for more than 50% of the national energy mix. This study aims to evaluate the impact of biomass cofiring implementation on the thermodynamic, environmental, and economic performance of PLTU Banten 2 Labuan Unit 1, which has a capacity of 300 MW. The methodology involves thermodynamic simulation using Cycle-Tempo software to calculate energy efficiency and exergy, as well as the cost of exergy destruction as part of an exergoeconomic analysis. The results show that the cofiring scenario of 95% coal and 5% biomass is the most optimal configuration. This scenario yields an exergy efficiency of 37.55%, with a reduction in exergy destruction of 7,119 kW compared to 100% coal. Economically, it provides fuel cost savings of 3.2% and a reduction in the cost of exergy destruction of Rp1,623,600 per hour. Environmentally, it reduces CO₂ emissions by 6.25 tons per hour, demonstrating a tangible contribution to emissions reduction in the energy sector. This study concludes that biomass cofiring technology, especially at a 95:5 ratio, offers a viable energy transition solution that can be gradually adopted by existing coal-fired power plants in Indonesia. The results are expected to serve as a technical and strategic reference for developing low-carbon energy policies and optimizing the operation of biomass-cofiring-based power plants.

Juridical Analysis of Law Enforcement Against Lobster Seed Smuggling at Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, Tangerang

2025-11-26T13:34:33+00:00

The smuggling of baby lobster seeds is a criminal act in the fisheries sector that not only causes economic losses to the state but also threatens the sustainability of marine ecosystems. This practice frequently occurs at the Soekarno Hatta International Airport, which is used as a strategic route by perpetrators to illegally export baby lobster seeds abroad. Law enforcement against baby lobster smuggling is crucial as it directly relates to the protection of fishery resources and the economic sustainability of coastal communities. The primary research questions of this study are about what factors contribute to lobster seed smuggling and how is law enforcement implemented in relation to Act 17 of 2006 on Customs. The objectives of this research are to analyze the causes of smuggling and evaluate the enforcement of relevant laws. This research employs normative and empirical juridical methods, with data collected through literature reviews and interviews with law enforcement officials involved in the process of law enforcement. The research results indicate that law enforcement efforts still face obstacles, including the high international demand for baby lobster exports, weak supervision systems, limited technology, and low legal awareness among the public. These conditions result in suboptimal law enforcement in practice, while penalties have not fully achieved a deterrent effect. In conclusion, although Indonesia has an adequate legal framework, its implementation remains reactive and has not addressed the root causes of the issue. To improve effectiveness, enhanced inter-agency coordination, strengthened supervision systems, and increased public legal awareness are necessary.

2025-11-26T13:49:12+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of entrepreneurial competencies, entrepreneurial orientation, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, entrepreneurial network, and government business support on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), considering the role of the external environment as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach was employed by distributing questionnaires to MSME actors across various industrial sectors. Data analysis was conducted using multiple regression methods and moderation interaction tests to examine the direct and indirect influences among variables. The results show that all independent variables have positive and significant effects on MSME performance. Additionally, the external environment significantly moderates the relationships between entrepreneurial factors and MSME performance, either strengthening or weakening these effects depending on the external environment dynamics faced. These findings provide important implications for MSME actors, policymakers, and business support institutions in designing strategies that empower and strengthen MSMEs based on their internal potential and external support.

The Influence of Education Level and Economic Growth on the Labor Force Participation Rate in Indonesia

2025-12-08T08:49:07+00:00

The labor force participation rate plays an important role in addressing unemployment in Indonesia. The labor force participation rate in Indonesia continues to fluctuate annually. Increasing education levels and economic growth are needed to boost the labor force participation rate. This study aims to analyze the effect of education level and economic growth on the participation rate of the labor force in Indonesia. Education levels and economic growth play major roles in boosting the labor force participation rate in Indonesia. The data used in this study consist of annual secondary data for the period 2005–2024 from the Central Statistics Agency (Badan Pusat Statistik, BPS). The analysis tool used is multiple linear regression. The results show that education level has a positive and significant effect on the labor force participation rate, while economic growth does not have a significant effect. The findings suggest important policy implications: governments should prioritize educational development programs to enhance workforce participation, while economic growth strategies should be redesigned to create quality employment opportunities that effectively absorb the labor force. This study contributes to the literature by providing comprehensive empirical evidence on the differential impacts of education and economic growth on labor force participation in Indonesia, highlighting the critical role of human capital development in labor market dynamics. Future research should investigate the moderating effects of other socioeconomic factors and explore sector-specific variations in these relationships.

Dartos Fascia as an Interpositional Layer in Hypospadias Urethroplasty: A Systematic Review

2025-12-08T08:11:01+00:00

This systematic review evaluated the role of dartos fascia as an interpositional layer in primary hypospadias repair. Search was conducted in PubMed, EMBASE, Scopus, CENTRAL, and Web of Science (2019–2025) for studies in patients ≤18 years undergoing hypospadias repair. Primary outcomes were urethrocutaneous fistula (UCF), dehiscence, meatal/urethral stenosis, and reoperation; secondary outcomes were infection and cosmetic scores. Narrative synthesis was used. Results: Eleven studies met criteria, predominantly distal TIP. No randomized trial compared any second layer versus none; one cohort (n=425) showed similar UCF with periurethral/dartos coverage versus none (6.7% vs 7.3%). A randomized trial favored double- over single-layer dartos (3.3% vs 23.3%). Another trial found ventral preferable to dorsal dartos with fewer flap-related complications at similar UCF rates. Tunica vaginalis flap reduced UCF and improved cosmetics but is more invasive. Platelet-rich fibrin adjunct lowered UCF and infection in two studies. Spongioplasty produced comparable UCF but higher meatal stenosis, though selected robust spongiosum allowed zero fistulas. Conclusion: Dartos remains the workhorse; double-layer and ventral harvest optimize outcomes, while tunica vaginalis and PRF offer effective alternatives in selected cases. Further randomized trials are needed to clarify the necessity of a second layer.

Correlation Between Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Values and Aspects Score at the Beginning of Treatment in Acute Ischemic Stroke

2025-12-08T08:27:23+00:00

On a global scale, stroke ranks as the second biggest killer and the third most prevalent cause of disability. Metabolic acidosis occurs when oxygen is not present in the blood after an ischemic stroke. The purpose of this research was to show that acute ischemic stroke patients treated at Surabaya's Dr. Soetomo General Hospital had an association between their lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) serum level and their ASPECTS score before treatment began. Sampling was conducted using consecutive admissions methods. The ASPECTS score and LDH serum examination were assessed and taken upon admission. Thirty individuals were enrolled in the trial; sixteen (53.3%) were male and fourteen (46.7%) were female. The results demonstrate a relationship or correlation between LDH and ASPECT Score according to the Spearman test. The p-value is 0.003, which is less than 0.05, indicating a meaningful relationship or correlation between LDH and ASPECTS Score based on statistical tests. The r-value of -0.279 indicates a weak inverse relationship (27.9% strength) between the ASPECT score variable and LDH, according to the results of the correlation test. The relationship between LDH and ASPECT Score is negative, where if the ASPECT score value is high, the LDH value will be low, and vice versa. In conclusion, this study demonstrates a statistically significant (p = 0.003) but weak inverse correlation (r = -0.279) between serum LDH levels and ASPECT scores in acute ischemic stroke patients.

Tax Avoidance in the Indonesian Energy Sector: The Role of Fraud and Governance

2025-12-08T08:08:56+00:00

This study analyzes the relationship between profitability (ROA), transfer pricing (measured by the related-party receivables ratio), and financial statement fraud (assessed using the Beneish M-Score and Dechow F-Score) and the dependent variable, tax avoidance (CETR). Additionally, it examines the moderating role of the tax burden index. It adopts a descriptive quantitative design, utilizing secondary financial data from energy and mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange over the period 2019 to 2023. Of all companies listed on the stock exchange, only 15 companies met the criteria of complete and consistent financial data during the observation period, yielding 75 firm-year observations. The results show that financial statement fraud significantly affects tax avoidance (β = -4.38e-14, p = 0.0030), while profitability (β = -1.247, p = 0.4835) and transfer pricing (β = 0.635, p = 0.3565) do not show significant effects. Furthermore, the tax burden index does not moderate the relationship between transfer pricing and tax avoidance (β = 4.386, p = 0.7947). These findings emphasize that behavioral factors, particularly profit manipulation, play a more dominant role than traditional financial indicators in driving tax avoidance. The implications of this study underscore the importance of strengthening corporate internal control mechanisms, improving financial reporting transparency, and ensuring tax compliance through effective regulation. The energy and mining sectors, which are at high risk of manipulative practices, require special attention so that tax avoidance practices can be minimized, fiscal justice supported, and the integrity of the overall taxation system strengthened.

Analysis of Non-Physical Waste Production Variables (Lean Six Sigma) on Project Time Management Through the Mediation of Lean Construction

2025-12-11T07:08:02+00:00

Construction projects are entering an era of profitability, aiming to achieve business goals with minimal resources. Yet, prior research shows only 54% complete on time, due to activity variations causing production waste and delays. This study examines non-physical waste production from the Lean Six Sigma concept's influence on project time management via Lean Construction mediation in the PUSRI 3B project. Methods included identifying delay factors from literature and field observations, categorizing them as Lean Six Sigma non-physical waste, and distributing Likert-scale questionnaires to respondents. Data were analyzed using SmartPLS ver. 4 with Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results indicate defect and overproduction waste significantly affect Lean Construction implementation but not time management—present in PUSRI 3B yet mitigated by quality control, avoiding delays. Inventory waste significantly impacts both Lean Construction and time management, contributing to delays. Overall, non-physical waste production significantly influences time management through Lean Construction mediation.

2025-11-27T01:25:16+00:00

The fragmentation of planning and budgeting systems in government institutions poses significant challenges to operational efficiency and strategic decision-making. This research develops a comprehensive transformation strategy for the budget planning system at the Directorate General of Sea Transportation, Ministry of Transportation, Indonesia. Using As-Is Analysis and Soft System Methodology (SSM), the study examines current system conditions and identifies transformation requirements. The analysis reveals critical challenges including the operation of three separate systems (E-Planning, KRISNA, and SAKTI) without integration protocols, dominance of manual processes in budget calculations for 302 work units, and absence of standardized digital infrastructure. Through SSM implementation, two conceptual models were developed addressing digital transformation and system integration requirements. Gap analysis between conceptual models and reality identified deficiencies across six dimensions: stakeholder engagement, system architecture, performance management, technical design, implementation strategy, and risk management. The research proposes Government Resource Planning (GRP) implementation through four integrated strategies: developing integrated system architecture with modular design principles, implementing organizational change management addressing human and institutional factors, establishing interoperability protocols for seamless data exchange, and creating comprehensive evaluation and risk mitigation frameworks. A phased implementation roadmap spanning 18 months provides a pragmatic approach to transformation. This research contributes to digital government literature by demonstrating the effectiveness of combining As-Is Analysis with SSM in addressing complex socio-technical challenges, while offering practical frameworks for government agencies pursuing similar transformations. The findings have significant implications for Indonesia's digital government initiatives and public sector modernization efforts.

2025-08-20T08:14:15+00:00

Agrarian reform is a strategic effort to reorganize the control, ownership, and utilization of land for the creation of agrarian justice in Indonesia. This study aims to analyze government policies in asset management and access to land rights and their legal implications in realizing agrarian reform. The research method uses a normative juridical approach with qualitative analysis of laws and regulations, legal concepts, and case studies. The results of the study showed that asset management was carried out through TORA redistribution and legalization through the PTSL program, while access management was carried out through training, capital provision, infrastructure development, and partnerships. Coordinated implementation through the Agrarian Reform Task Force (GTRA) strengthens cross-sectoral synergy. The legal basis for implementation includes Article 33 paragraph (3) of the 1945 Constitution, the 1960 Law, Presidential Regulation No. 86 of 2018, and the Minister of ATR/BPN Regulation No. 12 of 2021. The legal implications include strengthening legal certainty, protection of agrarian rights, conflict resolution, and transformation of agrarian governance towards a more inclusive and socially just system.

Calcium and Vitamin D Serum Level of Stunting and Severe Stunting Children Aged 12-23 Months in the Pauh Health Center, Padang City

2025-12-08T08:49:16+00:00

Stunting remains a significant public health challenge, particularly in developing countries. Vitamin D and calcium play crucial roles in linear growth and bone mineralization during early childhood. This study aimed to analyze the levels of serum vitamin D and calcium in stunted and severely stunted children aged 12–23 months in the working area of Pauh Health Center, Padang City, West Sumatra. This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted from February to May 2025, involving 43 children aged 12–23 months (33 stunted and 10 severely stunted). Data were analyzed using the chi-square test and independent-samples t-test. Most children exhibited hypovitaminosis D (62.7%), with 9.3% deficiency and 53.4% insufficiency. Serum calcium levels were predominantly normal (85.1%). No significant differences were found in vitamin D levels (p > 0.05) or calcium levels (p > 0.05) between stunted and severely stunted children. The mean vitamin D level was 12.14 ± 1.97 ng/mL in stunted children and 12.16 ± 1.63 ng/mL in severely stunted children. The mean serum calcium levels were 9.14 ± 1.97 mg/dL in stunted children and 9.16 ± 1.63 mg/dL in severely stunted children, respectively. Despite the high prevalence of vitamin D insufficiency, there were no significant differences in serum vitamin D and calcium levels between stunted and severely stunted children aged 12–23 months. The body's homeostatic mechanisms maintain normal serum calcium levels despite low vitamin D status, potentially at the expense of bone density. Further research is needed to identify other contributing factors to stunting severity.

2025-12-08T08:46:30+00:00

The study was conducted with the aim of determining the impact of intangible assets and audit quality on transfer pricing practices in Multinational Companies listed on the IDX for the 2020-2024 Period of the Consumer Non-Cyclicals Sector. The research method used was multiple regression analysis. The results of the study showed that there was a partial positive influence by the intangible asset variable on transfer pricing but there was no partial effect by the audit quality variable on transfer pricing. The results of the study also show that there is a simultaneous influence of the intangible asset variable and audit quality on transfer pricing.

Corporate Social Responsibility and Corporate Governance: a Bibliometric Analysis Study

2025-12-18T07:12:29+00:00

The aim of this study is to evaluate the domestic wastewater management system currently implemented in Banjar Regency. The river water quality was analyzed using the STORET method by comparing sampling results with the applicable water quality standards, while data on sanitation access were obtained from the Banjar Regency Government. SWOT analysis was used to assess the current state of domestic wastewater management in the region. The results of the STORET analysis indicate that water quality in the Martapura Sub-watershed has improved due to government programs related to domestic wastewater treatment and management. Data on access to domestic wastewater facilities show that most residents have independently owned toilets, supported by government programs that assist low-income communities in gaining access to domestic sanitation facilities. The SWOT analysis highlights the need for improved management practices among the Beneficiary and User Groups (KPP), who serve as operators in each village.

The Effect Of Environmental, Social, And Governance Score On Stock Returns: The Moderating Role Of Company Size On The Indonesiann Stock Exchange

2025-12-08T08:36:24+00:00

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) dimensions on stock returns and test the moderating role of company size in companies listed on the LQ45 Index of the Indonesian Stock Exchange. This study uses a quantitative approach with purposive sampling and obtains 17 companies as samples for the 2019–2024 period. The data are analyzed using panel data regression and moderation regression to test the relationships between variables. The results show that the environmental score has a negative and significant effect on stock returns, the social score has a positive and significant effect on stock returns, while the governance score has no significant effect on stock returns. In addition, company size does not strengthen the relationships between the three ESG dimensions and stock returns. These findings provide practical implications for investors in portfolio selection by emphasizing social performance over environmental costs, for managers in optimizing ESG resource allocation toward high-impact social initiatives, and for policymakers in developing regulations that better align environmental investments with market incentives to enhance the effectiveness of sustainability practices in driving stock performance.

The Role of Dividend Policy in Preventing Tax-Induced Earnings Management: Empirical Evidence from Public Manufacturing Companies in Indonesia

2025-12-04T03:53:16+00:00

Tax rate reductions can encourage companies to engage in earnings management practices. However, corporate governance mechanisms such as dividend distribution have the potential to prevent earnings management practices. This study aims to test the ability of dividend policy to prevent tax-induced earnings management. Earnings management is measured using the Modified Jones Model by calculating the value of discretionary accruals. While tax rates are measured using the effective tax rate. This study uses data from 2016 to 2019 to estimate discretionary accruals and uses only 2019 data for hypothesis testing. This study finds tax induced earnings management carried out by manufacturing companies in Indonesia during the transition year before the tax rate reduction. Companies implement downward earnings management as a form of intertemporal income shifting. These results are in line with Agency Theory by providing empirical evidence of tax-book trade-offs that sacrifice shareholder interests. Meanwhile, dividend policy does not have a significant impact and fails to mitigate earnings management practices during the transition period.

The Legal Liability of a Notary for the Criminal Act of Forging an Authentic Deed They Created (Judge's Verdict Number 248/Pid.B/2022/PN.Jkt.Bar)

2025-08-20T08:11:53+00:00

Forgery of an authentic deed refers to the act of making or altering an authentic deed in an unauthorized or incorrect manner. An authentic deed is a deed made by a Notary or other public official that has perfect evidentiary power. Forgery of an authentic deed can involve various actions, such as making a false deed, changing the actual contents of the deed, or making a deed with false information. In the legal context, Notaries involved in the forgery of authentic deeds can be charged with Article 264 paragraph (1) to 1 of the Criminal Code, with a maximum imprisonment of 8 years. The formulation of the problem of Notary's Legal Responsibility for the Criminal Act of Forgery of Authentic Deed Made in Judge's Decision Number 248/Pid.B/2022/Pn.Jkt Bar and Legal Consequences Arising from the Criminal Act of Forgery of Authentic Deed by Notary. This research uses a normative juridical research method with a statutory approach, a case approach and a conceptual approach. The results of the study are the legal responsibility of the Notary for the criminal act of forgery of the Authentic Deed he made in Judge Decision Number 248/Pid.B.2022 /Notary in the Nirina Zubir case can be held accountable administratively and criminally, namely Article 264 paragraph (2) of the Criminal Code, Article 55 paragraph (1) of the Criminal Code and Article 3 of Law No. 8 of 2010 concerning Prevention and Eradication of the Crime of Money Laundering and Legal consequences arising from the criminal act of forgery

The Influence of Good Corporate Governance and Intellectual Capital on Organizational Performance in Mining Sector Companies Listed on the IDX for the 2020-2024 Period

2025-12-08T08:44:51+00:00

In the era of intensifying global competition, companies in the Indonesian mining sector face mounting pressure to enhance organizational performance to maintain their market position and ensure long-term sustainability. The mining sector plays a crucial role in Indonesia's economy, contributing significantly to national GDP, yet it faces unique challenges including commodity price volatility, stringent regulatory requirements, and increasing demands for sustainable business practices. This study examines the influence of Good Corporate Governance and Intellectual Capital on Organizational Performance in Mining Sector Companies Listed on the IDX for the 2020-2024 Period. Survey data from 41 HR managers in IDX-listed mining companies were analyzed using multiple regression analysis. The results reveal that both GCG (β=0.291, p=0.001) and IC (β=0.264, p=0.001) have significant positive effects on organizational performance, explaining 55% of the variance in performance outcomes (R²=0.550). These findings confirm that applying good GCG principles and optimally managing IC contribute substantially to operational efficiency and competitive advantage. This research makes both practical and theoretical contributions by demonstrating the critical importance of implementing GCG and developing IC for companies seeking to improve performance and competitiveness amid industry challenges in the resource-intensive mining sector.

Between Compliance and Accountability: Exploring the Supply–Demand Gap in Sustainability Reporting of Jayapura City Government

2025-11-26T14:50:01+00:00

This paper investigates sustainability reporting (SR) practices in Jayapura City Government, Papua, by examining the gap between the supply side (civil servants) and the demand side (citizens). It aims to assess whether current reporting practices align with international standards, such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI), and whether they meet stakeholder expectations. A mixed-methods design was adopted. Primary data were collected from surveys of 45 government officials and 45 citizens, while secondary data came from budget documents, performance reports, and relevant regulations. Quantitative data were analyzed descriptively, and qualitative data were explored through thematic and content analysis. The analysis was guided by legitimacy, stakeholder, institutional, and signaling theories. The study reveals a significant supply–demand gap. Civil servants perceive existing reports as sufficient from a compliance perspective, whereas citizens demand broader disclosures on social, governance, and especially environmental issues. The absence of a formal GRI-based SR indicates that reporting remains administrative rather than strategic. Citizens in particular view the use of Special Autonomy Funds as non-transparent, further eroding trust in government reporting. This paper contributes to public sector SR literature by introducing the underexplored context of Papua, Indonesia. It demonstrates how multiple theoretical frameworks explain the supply– demand gap in a developing country setting and highlights the socio-political and institutional barriers to SR adoption. The findings also offer practical insights for policymakers by recommending capacity building for civil servants and integrating GRI-based indicators into existing local government reporting frameworks.

Analysis of Legal Protection For Household Workers Without Employment Contracts

2025-12-08T08:18:35+00:00

This study analyzes the urgency of legal protection for Domestic Workers (PRT) in Indonesia. The background is the significant increase in the number of domestic workers from 2015 to 2022. Despite their vital role, they are still vulnerable to violence and exploitation due to the lack of formal recognition and employment contracts. The main problem stems from the exclusion of domestic workers from the Manpower Law No. 13 of 2003 and the stalled ratification of the PPRT Bill since 2004. Using a normative juridical legal analysis method, this study concludes that the ratification of the PPRT Bill is a top priority to provide a legal basis, rights standards, and effective enforcement mechanisms for domestic workers' protection. It is also recommended that a comprehensive and transparent employment contract be formulated, supported by preventive and repressive efforts through public education, increased legal awareness, and strict supervision by the government and community participation, in order to realize justice and the welfare of domestic workers in Indonesia.

Development of a Predictive Analytics Model for Cement Compressive Strength: A Case Study at PT Semen Pertama

2025-11-26T13:29:35+00:00

In cement manufacturing, ensuring consistent product quality remains a challenge due to variations in raw materials, operational conditions, and delays in laboratory testing, particularly compressive strength tests, which are only available after 3, 7, and 28 days. This study aims to address this issue by developing a predictive analytics model that estimates compressive strength using machine learning, based on early-available laboratory parameters. The research is conducted at PT Semen Pertama and uses the CRISP-DM framework to structure the analytical process, from business understanding to model deployment. Historical laboratory data—comprising chemical compositions (e.g., SiO₂, Al₂O₃, Fe₂O₃, CaO), physical properties (e.g., fineness, residue), and strength test results—were used to train two supervised learning models: Linear Regression and Random Forest Regressor. Several feature selection methods were applied to improve model accuracy and interpretability. Model performance was assessed using standard regression metrics and validated with cross-validation. The results show that Random Forest consistently achieved higher predictive accuracy than Linear Regression. Feature importance analysis highlighted key variables influencing compressive strength, providing practical insights for quality monitoring. This study supports earlier quality estimation and proactive decision-making in production.

Regulatory Convergence of Trade Secret Licensing Agreements in Indonesia Through a Comparative Study of Taiwan and the United States

2025-12-08T08:12:29+00:00

The protection of trade secrets plays a vital role in safeguarding a nation’s competitive edge, particularly amid globalization and economic integration. Indonesia has enacted a legal basis through Law No. 30 of 2000; however, its practical enforcement still encounters obstacles related to legal certainty, law enforcement, and procedural consistency. This research examines the protection of trade secrets in Indonesia by comparing it with Taiwan and the United States, while also exploring the possible adoption of best practices to enhance national competitiveness. The study employs a normative juridical method combined with a comparative approach and regulatory analysis, relying on literature reviews of legislation, international instruments, and relevant scholarly works. The findings suggest that incorporating best practices—such as preliminary injunctions, whistleblower immunity, stricter sanctions, and improved inter-agency collaboration—could significantly strengthen trade secret protection in Indonesia. Recommendations are directed toward the Directorate General of Intellectual Property (DGIP), the Ministry of Trade, and the Supreme Court to develop technical guidelines, establish a dedicated task force, and provide information security training for businesses, thereby aligning Indonesia’s trade secret protection framework with global standards.

Transformation of Asset Management System: A Phenomenologi Cal Study of Siman Version 2 at Surabaya Sailing Polytechnic

2025-12-08T08:32:28+00:00

Digital transformation in the management of State Property (BMN) requires organizational adaptation in technology, work culture, and governance. This study analyzes the transformation of the state asset management system through SIMAN Version 2 implementation at Surabaya Sailing Polytechnic using a phenomenological qualitative approach. It draws on the Theory of Organizational Change and Good Governance principles. Data came from in-depth interviews with eight system users across organizational levels, analyzed via the Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen model to identify stakeholder experience themes. Findings reveal SIMAN Version 2 improves efficiency via system integration, verification automation, and a three-tier authorization structure—yielding an 85.7% reduction in processing time, elimination of data duplication through SAKTI integration, real-time transparency, and comprehensive activity logs. Initial challenges included user resistance, slow response times with large datasets, and cultural shifts from manual to digital processes. These were overcome with over 10 training sessions, peer mentoring, and ongoing technical support. The study concludes that SIMAN Version 2 successfully drives organizational change, enhancing BMN management transparency, efficiency, and accountability in line with good governance.

Modeling the Influence of Green Investment Intention on Investment Behavior: An Extended Theory of Planned Behavior Approach

2025-11-26T13:33:49+00:00

The urgency of climate change and sustainability issues has highlighted the importance of green investment, particularly among young generations who are increasingly exposed to financial decisions through digital platforms. This study aims to examine the influence of attitude toward behavior, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and financial literacy on green investment intention, as well as the role of financial influencers as a moderating variable, and the subsequent impact on actual green investment behavior among Generation Z investors in East Java, Indonesia. Using an explanatory quantitative approach, data were collected from 400 valid respondents selected through purposive sampling, and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results reveal that all four predictors—attitude toward behavior, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and financial literacy—have a positive and significant effect on green investment intention. Furthermore, green investment intention and perceived behavioral control are proven to significantly drive actual green investment behavior. The moderating test indicates that financial influencers only strengthen the relationship between attitude toward behavior and green investment intention, while their influence is insignificant on subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and financial literacy. These findings contribute to the extension of the Theory of Planned Behavior by incorporating financial literacy and influencer effects into the model. The study provides theoretical implications for behavioral finance research and practical insights for policymakers, educational institutions, and financial regulators to design strategies that enhance sustainable investment literacy and foster long-term participation in green investment.

Asean Paradox: Between Asean's Commitment to Migrant Worker Protection and the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers

2025-12-08T08:15:33+00:00

ASEAN has created various instruments to protect migrant workers, such as the ASEAN Declaration on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers (2007) and the ASEAN Consensus on the Protection and Promotion of the Rights of Migrant Workers (2017). However, despite these regional commitments, Indonesian migrant workers (PMI) continue to face exploitation, discrimination, and inadequate legal protection. This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of ASEAN instruments in protecting migrant workers by analyzing the gaps between regional policies, national regulations, and bilateral agreements. Using a qualitative approach with document analysis, this research examines ASEAN instruments, Indonesian regulations, and bilateral agreements to identify implementation challenges, problems, and possibilities. The results show that ASEAN's ineffectiveness stems from the inadequate binding force of the instruments, lack of enforcement mechanisms, weak coordination among member states, and minimal participation of migrant workers in the policy process. These findings demonstrate significant disparities between stated commitments and actual protection outcomes for Indonesian migrant workers. This research makes theoretical contributions by enriching the literature on regional governance and practical implications by offering policy recommendations to strengthen the protection of migrant workers in the ASEAN region.

Psychometric Evaluation of MFI-20 and OFER-15 Instruments for Measuring Occupational Fatigue Among Nickel Miners

2025-12-03T08:37:56+00:00

Occupational fatigue is a multidimensional construct that affects physical, mental, and emotional functioning, especially in high-risk sectors such as mining. This study aims to evaluate the psychometric properties of two widely used instruments—Multidimensional Fatigue Inventory (MFI-20) and Occupational Fatigue Exhaustion Recovery (OFER-15)—in measuring fatigue among nickel mine workers in Indonesia. A total of 358 respondents completed the instruments as part of a broader fatigue risk assessment. Internal consistency was examined using Cronbach’s Alpha, while convergent and discriminant validity were assessed through correlation analysis among dimensions. Results showed high reliability for both instruments (α > 0.70 across all subscales). Most items demonstrated significant convergent validity (r > 0.4, p < 0.05), and inter-dimensional correlations supported discriminant validity (r < 0.7). These findings suggest that MFI-20 and OFER-15 are valid and reliable tools for assessing occupational fatigue in mining contexts. The study supports the use of both instruments for fatigue monitoring and intervention planning in industrial settings.

The Influence of Leverage and Return on Assets (ROA) on Firm Value in State Owned Enterprises (SOES) Listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018–2024 Period

2025-12-08T08:50:57+00:00

This research is motivated by the phenomenon of a mismatch between financial performance and company value in SOEs listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, where an increase in ROA is not always followed by an increase in market value, and high leverage is not always perceived negatively. This study aims to analyze the effect of return on assets (ROA) and leverage on the value of state-owned enterprises (SOEs) listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018–2024 period, as examined in Pengaruh Leverage dan Return on Assets (ROA) terhadap Nilai Perusahaan pada Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN) yang Terdaftar di Bursa Efek Indonesia Periode 2018–2024. The research method uses a quantitative approach with associative research design, purposive sampling techniques, and multiple linear regression analysis based on secondary data from the companies' financial statements. The results show that ROA has a negative and significant effect on company value, while leverage has a positive and significant effect. These findings indicate that profitability was not a positive signal for investors during the study period, while measured debt usage was perceived as an effective funding strategy. In conclusion, the value of SOEs is more influenced by funding structure than by operational profitability. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of optimal capital structure management, increased performance transparency, and more effective financial communication strategies so that company performance signals can be translated positively by the market.

The Influence of Cost Management and Human Resource Management (HR) on Operational Excellence Monitored Through the Balance Scorecard Framework

2025-12-08T08:27:33+00:00

This study aims to analyze the influence of cost management and human resource management (HR) on operational excellence monitored through the Balance Scorecard framework in the oil and gas and limited energy industry in Indonesia. In facing the challenges of the energy transition towards Net Zero Emission 2060, oil and gas companies need to optimize operational efficiency through effective cost management and optimal human resource management. This study uses a quantitative approach with Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and multiple linear regression techniques. Data was collected through a questionnaire of 71 respondents consisting of company leaders, managers, and operational staff in oil and gas and mining companies with at least 3 years of experience. The results showed that cost management had a significant effect on operational excellence with a regression coefficient of 0.454 (t-count = 4.941 > t-table = 1.9960). HR management has a stronger influence on operational excellence with a regression coefficient of 0.486 (t-count = 5.288 > t-table = 1.9960). Simultaneously, the two variables were able to explain 79.5% of the variance in operational excellence (R² = 0.795). The Balance Scorecard has proven to be effective as a holistic monitoring tool that integrates financial and non-financial aspects. This research provides a practical contribution for energy companies in optimizing operational strategies through the synergy of cost management and human resource management supported by a dynamic BSC monitoring system.

Criteria Review of Multifunctional Sidewalks in the Synergy Between Street Vendors and Pedestrian Paths (Case Study: Simpang Lima Area, Semarang)

2025-12-02T07:40:21+00:00

Sidewalks in Indonesia are often used for various purposes, one of which is by street vendors (PKL). Street vendors are often viewed negatively because they are considered to reduce pedestrian comfort. However, in some situations, street vendors can synergize with sidewalks and increase the vitality of public spaces. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the standards needed for multifunctional sidewalks that can serve as a forum for synergy between pedestrian paths and street vendor activities. The research employs a qualitative approach through a comprehensive literature review and systematic field observations, incorporating thematic analysis to evaluate sidewalk conditions against established urban design criteria. This study identifies eight critical factors affecting multifunctional sidewalks: effective width, street vendor layout, accessibility, pedestrian comfort, supporting activities, cleanliness, lighting, and legalization with management structures. The results show that the sidewalks in Simpang Lima can be categorized as multifunctional sidewalks. The layout of street vendors, supporting activities, lighting, and legalization are aspects that are already appropriate, while the aspects that are less optimal are effective width, accessibility, comfort, cleanliness, and facilities. Based on this study, it was found that the existence of street vendors can contribute to the vitality of public spaces in the Simpang Lima area, especially if it is well organized and the street vendor community participates in protecting the environment. It is hoped that this research can provide input for the city government in managing street vendors and enrich the study of urban design related to multifunctional sidewalks.

Career Development and Job Satisfaction: Investigating the Mediating Role of Emotional Exhaustion in Gen Z

2025-12-08T08:44:45+00:00

Generation Z employees, characterized by unique workplace expectations and technological fluency, present distinct challenges for organizational management, particularly regarding career development and job satisfaction dynamics. This study examines how emotional exhaustion mediates the relationship between career development and job satisfaction among Gen Z workers in South Jakarta, Indonesia. Using simple random sampling, data were collected from 387 Gen Z employees (aged 18-40, predominantly 24-28 years) working across various sectors in South Jakarta. Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4.0 was employed to test the hypothesized relationships. Results reveal that: (1) career development significantly and positively influences job satisfaction (β = 0.409, t = 6.544, p < 0.001); (2) career development significantly affects emotional exhaustion (β = 0.654, t = 34.027, p < 0.001); (3) emotional exhaustion significantly impacts job satisfaction (β = -0.598, t = 8.118, p < 0.001); and (4) emotional exhaustion significantly mediates the career development-job satisfaction relationship (indirect effect = 0.392, t = 7.586, p < 0.001). The model demonstrates strong explanatory power (R² = 0.728 for job satisfaction; R² = 0.631 for emotional exhaustion). These findings indicate that while career development enhances job satisfaction directly, it simultaneously generates emotional exhaustion, which negatively impacts satisfaction. For Gen Z employees specifically, organizations must balance career advancement opportunities with workload management, emotional support systems, and transparent communication to optimize satisfaction outcomes while mitigating burnout risks inherent in career progression demands.

Analysis of Factors Affecting Delays in Construction Projects in the Upstream Oil and Gas Industry of South Sumatra

2025-11-28T07:47:54+00:00

Upstream oil and gas construction projects in South Sumatra face significant challenges related to execution delays due to geographic, technical, and social complexities. This study aims to analyze the factors causing Project Delays and formulate context-specific mitigation strategies. The method employed is Partial Least Squares - Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), involving 186 respondents consisting of project owners and industry practitioners. The results indicate that the Material variable has the most significant direct impact on Project Delays, followed by the Planning and Design variable. The Contractor factor acts as a mediator for the influence of the Labor, Financial and Economic, and External variables. Dominant delay-causing indicators include material shortages, inadequate site investigation, design mismatches, inaccurate price negotiations, and low safety awareness. The results of the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) support the quantitative findings by highlighting the importance of field data-based design validation, comprehensive site investigations, and the enhancement of local contractor capacity. The Focus Group Discussion also revealed that material unpreparedness and social conflicts arising from limited legal awareness and moral responsibility within local communities have further contributed to project delays. Based on these findings, the recommended strategies include conducting comprehensive site investigations based on subsurface, geotechnical, and social data, involving contractors from the early stages, implementing projects through digital approaches, and managing social risks through Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) strategies and stakeholder engagement. This study offers practical contributions to improving the efficiency of upstream oil and gas projects, particularly in high-complexity regions such as South Sumatra.

The Legal Impact of Free Nutritious Food Programs Due to Mass Poisoning in East Java Region Reviewed from a Human Rights Perspective

2025-11-23T22:30:44+00:00

This study uses a normative legal research method with a conceptual approach (Conceptual Approach) and a case approach (Case Approach). The main data sources are primary legal materials (the 1945 Constitution of the Republic of Indonesia, Law No. 39 of 1999 concerning Human Rights, regulations related to food safety) and secondary legal materials (scientific journals, proceedings, and news reports related to the MBG poisoning incident in East Java). The mass poisoning incident in the MBG program in East Java indicates a violation of the state's obligation to guarantee human rights. The state, through the program implementing apparatus, was negligent in applying the principle of due diligence. The results of the study indicate a lack of substantive norms related to minimum hygiene standards (SLHS/HACCP) and accountability in the food supply and supervision chain. The legal impacts that arise include criminal, civil, and administrative liability for catering providers and related officials who are proven negligent, as well as violations of Article 28H paragraph (1) of the 1945 Constitution concerning the right to a prosperous life physically and mentally. Systemic reforms in the governance of the MBG program, strengthening of food safety regulations, and transparent legal accountability mechanisms are needed to restore victims' rights and prevent recurrence of incidents.

Risk Management Analysis on the Achievement Of Performance Indicators

2025-11-27T02:02:17+00:00

Control of non-communicable diseases, especially diabetes mellitus, is one of the priorities in public health programs. One of the performance indicators used to measure the success of this program is "Percentage of people with diabetes mellitus whose blood sugar is controlled at the Health Center/FKTP".

Systematic Literature Study: Challenges and Opportunities for the Application of Withholding Tax in the Era of Globalization

2025-12-02T07:48:24+00:00

The implementation of Withholding Tax (WHT) in Indonesia confronts multifaceted challenges encompassing both internal taxpayer factors—including staff understanding, motivation, and capacity—and external factors such as transaction complexity, administrative procedures, and limited system digitalization. Risks of incorrect withholding, tax avoidance, and sectoral compliance variations underscore the necessity for integrated strategic interventions. This study aims to analyze WHT challenges, identify opportunities, and examine strategies based on Tax Compliance Theory, considering taxpayers' attitude, subjective norms, and perceived behavioral control. The research employs a systematic literature review methodology, analyzing 50 peer-reviewed journals (Q1-Q3 international and S2-S3 national publications) published within the last decade. Literature selection followed rigorous inclusion criteria: studies specifically addressing WHT implementation, containing challenge and opportunity analyses, and demonstrating methodological rigor. The analytical framework utilized thematic synthesis to identify patterns across internal and external compliance factors, subsequently evaluated through the Tax Compliance Theory lens. Findings indicate that effective strategies include system digitalization, staff training, taxpayer education, incentive-penalty mechanisms, regulatory harmonization, and real-time monitoring and auditing. Notably, this study contributes novel insights by synthesizing WHT compliance challenges within the globalization context, particularly addressing cross-border digital transactions and fintech sector implications previously underexplored in Indonesian taxation literature. The integrated strategic framework proposed bridges theoretical understanding with practical implementation, offering evidence-based policy recommendations. Implementing these integrated strategies is expected to enhance voluntary compliance, minimize withholding errors, and strengthen WHT effectiveness across all sectors, including MSMEs and fintech.

The Effect of Omnichannel Experience on Repurchase Intention through Customer Satisfaction

2025-12-08T08:06:52+00:00

This study investigates the effect of omnichannel experience on repurchase intention through customer satisfaction at UNIQLO Indonesia. The research addresses the limited integration of physical and digital channels in Indonesian fashion retail and the lack of empirical evidence on its influence on customer loyalty. It fills a gap by examining customer satisfaction as a mediator in omnichannel dynamics within emerging markets, using a unique integration of Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR), Expectation Disconfirmation Theory (EDT), and Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB)—a framework rarely applied in Southeast Asia. Quantitative PLS-SEM methods tested a mediation model based on primary data from 213 active UNIQLO app users. Analysis included instrument validation, structural model evaluation, and indirect effect testing. Results show omnichannel experience positively affects customer satisfaction (β = 0.957, p < 0.05), which in turn positively affects repurchase intention (β = 0.428, p < 0.05). Additionally, customer satisfaction mediates the relationship between omnichannel experience and repurchase intention (β = 0.409, p < 0.05), explaining 42.7% of the conversion from experience to loyalty. Theoretically, this study is the first to empirically validate the SOR-EDT-TPB model in the Indonesian fashion retail omnichannel context. Managerially, it recommends UNIQLO and similar retailers to enhance seamless channel integration and real-time personalization, suggesting investment in RFID inventory transparency, AI-driven personalization, and loyalty programs rewarding omnichannel engagement over single-channel use. The study provides a valuable framework for optimizing omnichannel experiences to boost repurchase intention in emerging markets.

The Role of Non-Disclosure Agreements in Protecting Trade Secret Holders in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (Comparative Study of Indonesian-Azerbaijan Law)

2025-12-03T08:40:45+00:00

This research is motivated by the increasing potential for violations of trade secrets by business actors, particularly in the MSME sector, related to information of economic value in the technology and business sectors that is kept confidential. This study aims to understand the legal regulations regarding NDAs as an instrument for protecting trade secrets in Indonesia and Azerbaijan. This research uses normative legal methods and data obtained through library research, analysis of statutory regulations, studies of NDA violation cases in Indonesia, and literature related to the implementation of NDAs in Azerbaijan. The results show that in Indonesia, NDAs are not specifically regulated by law, but have legal force based on the principle of freedom of contract as stipulated in Article 1338 of the Civil Code. Meanwhile, in Azerbaijan, the implementation of NDAs is more effective due to support from government policies and legal institutions that assist MSMEs in maintaining the confidentiality of business information. These findings suggest that strengthening regulations and legal awareness regarding the use of NDAs is necessary to optimize the protection of trade secrets for MSMEs in Indonesia.

Minimizing Excess Inventory and Its Impact by Enhancing Forecasting Accuracy

2025-11-27T04:26:10+00:00

This study examines how PT. TRUCKSTORS LANCAR ABADI can improve inventory management by addressing recurring sales forecasting issues. Despite extensive research on forecasting in manufacturing, there is a notable gap in understanding how to manage seasonal demand patterns in Indonesia's heavy equipment sector using integrated forecasting methods. This gap is especially clear in the lack of validated models tailored to capital-intensive industries with volatile demand cycles. Using both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the study began by gathering insights from key departments and applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The analysis identified inaccurate forecasts as the primary cause of inventory discrepancies. To address this, several forecasting models were tested. SARIMA emerged as the most effective, capturing seasonal demand fluctuations with a Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE) of 15.3% and a Mean Absolute Error (MAE) of 257 units. This outperformed alternatives such as Multi-Linear Regression (MAPE: 18.7%), Neural Networks (MAPE: 19.4%), and XGBoost (MAPE: 20.1%). Implementing SARIMA is projected to reduce interest loss by 88% (from USD 3.32 million to USD 0.39 million) and inventory holding costs by the same margin (from USD 9.64 million to USD 1.13 million annually). This model is expected to improve planning accuracy and better align projected inventory with actual levels. The study highlights the importance of integrated planning, cross-functional collaboration, and data-driven forecasting for Minimizing Excess Inventory and Its Impact by Enhancing Forecasting Accuracy in volatile markets

Analysis of Fraud Hexagon Theory in Detecting Fraudulent Financial Statements in Local Governments in West Java Province

2025-12-08T08:47:46+00:00

This study analyzes the application of Fraud Hexagon Theory in detecting fraudulent financial statements in local governments in West Java Province. It examines six key elements—pressure, opportunity, rationalization, capability, arrogance, and collusion—both partially and simultaneously to assess their influence on fraud. The study employs a quantitative descriptive approach using secondary panel data from 140 Laporan Keuangan Pemerintah Daerah (LKPD) audited by Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan (BPK) for 2019–2023. Data were analyzed via panel regression with the Common Effect Model (CEM) and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS). Findings reveal that pressure and rationalization negatively and significantly influence fraudulent statements, while opportunity and capability show no significant impact. Conversely, arrogance and collusion exert positive, significant effects and emerge as the dominant fraud drivers. The F-test confirms the collective significance of all Fraud Hexagon variables. These results offer practical implications for regional financial governance: strengthen whistleblowing to combat collusion, monitor officials' public behavior to curb arrogance, elevate Sistem Pengendalian Intern Pemerintah (SPIP) maturity to limit rationalization, and boost fiscal independence to reduce pressure-induced manipulation. The study recommends comprehensive prevention via enhanced internal controls, mandatory ethics training, regular integrity assessments, transparent reporting, and civil society oversight to bolster accountability and transparency.
