Abstract

This study aims to examine the impact of corporate involvement in activities related to the environmental, social, and governance on profitability performance. In addition, this study also examines the moderating effect of liquidity and financial constraints on the relationship between ESG practices and profitability performance. The objects of the study were 43 companies listed on the Jakarta Islamic Index 70 (JII70) and the SRI KEHATI index in the 2021-2023 period. The number of data observations was 129 data and was analyzed using Eviews software version 13. The results of the study show that corporate involvement in ESG activities has an impact on decreasing profitability performance during the study period and these results confirm the role of agency theory. The results of the study also show that financial constraints can strengthen the relationship between ESG practices and profitability performance. Conversely, liquidity cannot moderate the relationship between ESG practices and profitability performance. The theoretical implication from the perspective of agency theory is to strengthen the role of agency theory in explaining the impact of ESG on profitability in the short term. Practical implications for companies are related to the importance of the existence of activities related to ESG, although in the short term it reduces profitability, the long-term impact fosters a positive image of the company in the community.

Abstract

The capital market plays an important role in the economy as well as in determining the level of economic progress of a country. The capital market and investors are an inseparable entity that continues to grow together. The Indonesian capital market has continued to develop, with current investors being dominated by Millennials and Generation Z, accounting for 35% in West Java. The purpose of this study is to carefully analyze the biases that influence investors when making decisions under uncertainty. In this case, the focus is on regret aversion bias, which is affected by psychological factors such as risk tolerance and overconfidence, situating this research within the scope of micro behavioral finance. The research method applied is descriptive quantitative using a survey approach, with a sample of 150 respondents engaged in various investment instruments. The data were then analyzed using PLS-SEM. The findings reveal that regret aversion bias, risk tolerance, and overconfidence significantly influence investment decisions. Furthermore, risk tolerance through overconfidence has a significant effect on investment decisions, and a similar pattern is observed in regret aversion bias, which also significantly affects investment decisions through overconfidence, particularly among young investors in West Java. The practical implication of this study is that investment decisions ultimately remain the right of investors regardless of the biases influencing them. Investors are still able to act rationally in their investment activities and establish clear criteria in the decision-making process.
