Abstract

Research aims: While prior study around segment disclosure has mainly focused on firm characteristics, there is little study on whether managerial characteristics are associated with segment disclosure. This study, therefore, aims to examine the effect of managerial ability on the level of segment disclosure.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used panel data regression with 556 firm-year observations of Indonesian manufacturing firms during 2017-2020. This study employed the checklist based on PSAK 5 (2015 edition) and adopted a content analysis approach. To measure managerial ability, this study utilized the managerial ability score developed by Demerjian, Lev, McVay (2012) for Indonesian firms. Research findings: The results of this study revealed that managerial ability significantly and positively affected the level of segment disclosure. Higher-ability managers also tended to disclose their segment information more extensively.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study contributes to the managerial ability literature and the disclosure literature (specifically for segment disclosure). This study is also the first to provide empirical evidence about the effect of managerial ability on the level of segment disclosure.Practitioner/Policy implication: This study results can be used by the Financial Accounting Standards Board of the Institute of Indonesia Chartered Accountants regarding the effectiveness of management approach implementation in Indonesia. Furthermore, the result of this study suggests that managers need to improve their capabilities to accommodate a dynamic business environment.Research limitation/Implication: This study used content analysis to measure segment disclosure, including subjectivity. Nevertheless, this study only investigated manufacturing firms. Further research may expand the industry sample to get a better understanding.

Abstract

Research aims: By the end of 2023, Indonesian Central Securities Depository data revealed a significant increase in the number of investors dominated by millennial investors (56.41%). They are categorized as novice investors who have distinctive characteristics from professional investors. This study, thus, aims to examine whether herding behavior dominates the characteristics of novice investors and whether information type and overconfidence bias affect the herding behavior of novice investors.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a quasi-experimental 2x2 mixed design on 42 student participants who were members of the Capital Market Study Group. The data obtained were then tested using non-parametric statistics.Research findings: The test results uncovered that herding dominated the investment behavior of novice investors. This behavior was supported by the information type that participants paid attention to in making decisions. However, testing for overconfidence demonstrated that this variable was not the cause of novice investors' herding behavior.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The results of this study contribute theoretically to the investment behavior of novice investors by strengthening the argument that they tend to behave herding when making stock investment decisions. Testing with an experimental design allows researchers to confirm that such herding behavior is reinforced by the preference for the information type they use in decision-making. The results also provide insight into the fact that the overconfidence level of novice investors may be different from that of professional investors.Practitioner/Policy implication: The tendency of herding behavior of novice investors needs attention from the Financial Services Authority as a regulator to consider protection for novice investors who dominate the number of investors in the capital market.Research limitation/Implication: The tests in this study employed non-parametric statistics, which are not as good as parametric tests, so the study results should be understood wisely. Future research needs to consider the adequacy of the sample and use capital market groups in several universities to improve sample quality.

Abstract

Research aims: This study aims to examine the role of social entrepreneurship orientation, social capital, and social innovation in improving Village-Owned Enterprises’ (VOE) performance. Specifically, this study examines social innovation as a moderator of the relationship between social capital and performance.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a quantitative approach with primary data types taken using a questionnaire instrument. The data were taken from 199 VOE in Yogyakarta Province. The subjects of this research were the managers of VOE in Yogyakarta Province, including directors, secretaries, treasurers, or heads of business units.Research findings: This study revealed that (1) social entrepreneurship orientation and social capital yielded a positive effect on VOE performance, (2) social innovation did not moderate the relationship between social capital and VOE performance, and (3) social innovation positively affected VOE performance.Theoretical contribution/Originality: VOE has a social mission in its business development. Social innovation should be a concern of VOE in achieving its mission. This research contributes to testing the role of social innovation in VOE performance. Practitioner/Policy implication: VOE, village government, and relevant agencies need to develop programs to improve their social entrepreneurship orientation, social capital, and social innovation, such as training programs and increased collaboration.
