Abstract

This study explores the influence of working capital efficiency on profitability, emphasizing the moderating role of sales growth. Utilizing panel data from publicly listed companies in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2018-2021 period, the research employs multiple linear regression analysis to assess the direct impact of working capital efficiency, measured by the Working capital efficiency, on profitability, measured by Return on Assets (ROA). The analysis further incorporates sales growth as a moderating variable to evaluate its interaction with working capital efficiency. The findings confirm a positive relationship between working capital efficiency and profitability, underscoring the importance of optimizing current asset and liability management. Additionally, the results demonstrate that sales growth significantly moderates this relationship, amplifying the positive impact of working capital efficiency on profitability. Firms experiencing robust sales growth benefit more from efficient working capital practices, as higher revenues enhance liquidity and resource utilization. Conversely, firms with stagnant or declining sales face limitations in leveraging the benefits of working capital optimization. This research contributes to the existing literature by highlighting the dynamic interplay between working capital efficiency and sales growth, offering a nuanced perspective on profitability determinants. The findings provide actionable insights for managers, suggesting a dual-focus strategy of enhancing working capital efficiency and fostering sales growth to maximize financial performance. Future studies could expand on this framework by exploring additional moderating variables, sector-specific dynamics, and long-term implications in diverse economic contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of tax transparency and corporate governance on tax compliance, with tax digitalization as a moderating variable, among companies operating in the Cikarang–Cibitung industrial area. Grounded in legitimacy theory, the research posits that transparent tax practices, strong governance structures, and digital integration enhance organizational legitimacy and compliance. A quantitative research design was employed using survey data from 300 respondents involved in tax-related functions across manufacturing, trade, and service sectors. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results reveal that tax transparency significantly and positively affects tax compliance (β = 0.187, p < 0.001), supporting the notion that openness fosters trust and mitigates noncompliance risks. Similarly, corporate governance positively affects compliance (β = 0.169, p < 0.01), underscoring the importance of accountability and ethical oversight. The moderating analysis shows that tax digitalization strengthens the effects of both transparency (β = 0.221, p < 0.05) and governance (β = 0.198, p < 0.05) on compliance, indicating that digital platforms enhance efficiency and monitoring in tax administration. The model explains 65% of the variance in tax compliance (R² = 0.65), demonstrating robust explanatory power. These findings affirm legitimacy theory’s proposition that organizations maintain societal trust by adopting transparent, responsible, and digitally adaptive tax practices. The study contributes theoretically by integrating digital transformation into legitimacy-based frameworks and offers practical implications for policymakers and corporate leaders aiming to strengthen sustainable tax compliance.
