Abstract

This study examines how Vespa ownership functions as a form of identity work within the workplace. Moving beyond utilitarian perspectives, the research conceptualizes Vespa as a symbolic artifact through which employees construct, negotiate, and perform professional identity. Using a qualitative design and Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), in-depth interviews were conducted with eight Vespa-owning professionals in Pontianak, Indonesia. The findings reveal that Vespa ownership operates across four interrelated dimensions: as a symbol of achievement and aesthetic distinction; as a medium of professional self-presentation; as a catalyst for social connectedness within organizational settings; and as an extension of professional identity. The study demonstrates that material possessions can mediate the relationship between personal authenticity and organizational culture, contributing to both individual meaning making and workplace cohesion. By situating symbolic consumption within organizational life, this research extends theories of the extended self and identity work, offering new insights into how lifestyle symbols shape professional self-construction in contemporary workplaces.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the factors affecting income smoothing practices among processed food companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2019–2024 period, focusing on firm size, financial leverage, and profitability. This is a quantitative study using panel data that combines the time-series and cross-sectional dimensions. The population consists of processed food sub-industry companies listed on the IDX, and 15 companies were selected using a purposive sampling technique based on predetermined criteria. Income smoothing was measured using the Eckel Index, and the data were analyzed through multiple linear regression with SPSS version 25. The results show that firm size has a significant positive effect on income smoothing, while financial leverage has a significant negative effect. In contrast, profitability (Net Profit Margin) does not significantly affect income smoothing. These findings indicate that company scale and debt structure are more decisive in shaping income smoothing behavior than the level of profitability.
