Abstract

This community service program aims to empower shallot farmers in Brebes Regency by improving production efficiency to increase income and local economic sustainability. Brebes, a major national shallot production center, faces efficiency issues due to excessive input use and weak farm management. A team of lecturers conducted participatory training and mentoring covering technical efficiency, financial management, cost and revenue analysis, and strengthening farmer group institutions. The results showed an increase in productivity from 9.5 tons to 11.2 tons per hectare, a Revenue/Cost ratio from 1.42 to 1.68, and technical efficiency from 0.78 to 0.91. Awareness of financial recording increased from 15% to 85%, and a marketing cooperative was formed, strengthening farmers' bargaining power. This program successfully transformed traditional patterns into efficient and sustainable farming systems, while strengthening the role of universities in empowering agricultural communities.

Abstract

The development of e-commerce platforms in Indonesia has had a significant impact on product purchasing behavior among students. The ease of access and wide selection of products offered through online shopping sites such as Shopee, Tokopedia, Lazada, and others, have made e-commerce the main channel for students to make purchases. The Shopee site stands out as one of the leading online shopping platforms in Southeast Asia, being. The main objective of this research is to determine and evaluate the influence of price, electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), and brand image on the purchasing behavior of Shopee application users among STIE Pelita Nusantara Semarang students. A purposive sampling approach was used in data collection, with a total of 72 respondents participating in this investigation. Primary data analysis in this research was carried out through multiple regression analysis. The research results show that price, electronic word-of-mouth (e-WOM), and brand image have a positive and important influence, both individually and collectively, on the purchasing decisions of Shopee application users among STIE Pelita Nusantara students. Within the framework of this research, price emerges as the most influential factor influencing purchasing choices. The coefficient of determination (R²) shows that 70.4% of the variance in the dependent variable of purchasing decisions can be explained by three independent variables: price, Electronic Word Of Mouth (E-WOM), and brand image.

Abstract

To examine the causal relationship between Skills Based Hiring (SBH), Organizational Agility (OA), and Workforce Diversity (WD). The study population included all 168 managerial and non-managerial employees, using a census sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires, then analyzed using quantitative methods through Partial Least Square (PLS). SBH has a positive and significant effect on OA, which means that skills-based recruitment improves the organization's ability to respond to change, accelerates decision-making, and strengthens cross-functional collaboration and an adaptive learning culture. SBH also has a positive effect on WD, indicating that competency-based selection opens opportunities for individuals from various backgrounds to contribute to the organization. Furthermore, OA is proven to have a positive effect on WD, as well as mediating the relationship between SBH and WD. This means that the implementation of SBH not only has a direct impact on workforce diversity, but also indirectly through increasing organizational agility. The implications of the research emphasize the importance of expanding the application of SBH evenly, strengthening agility through rapid decision-making, cross-functional collaboration, and a culture of continuous learning, as well as developing inclusive training programs across generations and gender to create a work environment that is adaptive, innovative, and responsive to the dynamics of the electricity industry.

Abstract

This study introduces and empirically validates CEPac as a mediating construct linking asset structure and sales growth to firm value. Grounded in Trade-Off Theory, Resource-Based View, and Signaling Theory, CEPac integrates the inverse of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (1/WACC) and Times Interest Earned (TIE) to capture financing efficiency and debt-servicing capacity. Using panel data from 75 manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2019–2023), seven hypotheses were tested through fixed-effects regression and Sobel mediation analysis in STATA. The results show that asset structure and sales growth significantly increase firm value, both directly and through CEPac (p<0.01), with mediation effects accounting for 18%–32% of the total influence. The model demonstrates strong explanatory power. Overall, the findings provide actionable insights for managers seeking to optimize capital allocation and operational growth, and position CEPac as a reliable financial assessment tool for capital-intensive industries.
