Abstract

This study analyzes the relationship between financial efficacy, the use of fintech services, investment decisions, and risk perception in the context of financial technology adoption and investment decision-making. The regression analysis results show that the model can explain variations in using fintech services and investment decisions. These findings suggest that although the model is relevant in explaining the factors that influence both variables, other external factors contribute to variation in individual financial decision-making. Path analysis shows financial efficacy positively and significantly influences fintech services and investment decisions. In addition, using fintech services also plays a role in encouraging investment decisions, with a path coefficient of the same size. Other findings suggest that risk perception has a positive relationship with fintech adoption, indicating that individuals with higher risk awareness are more likely to turn to fintech services to access more transparent and secure financial information. The implications of this study highlight the importance of financial education in increasing individual confidence in managing finances and the role of fintech in accelerating financial inclusion and investment participation. This research recommends strengthening digital financial literacy and developing policies that support the adoption of financial technology to increase the effectiveness of financial decision-making in the community.

Abstract

Digital transformation has become the centre of attention in modern organizational strategies, especially in the context of digital transformational leadership. This research aims to map the intellectual structure and global research trends related to these themes through a bibliometric approach. Data were obtained from the ScienceDirect database using the keyword "digital transformational leadership" and coverage of the publication years 2020 to 2025. A total of 500 articles that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using the VOSviewer software. The visualization results show five main clusters that are interconnected, namely digital leadership, digital competence, digital innovation, barrier to transformation, and sustainable performance. Digital leadership emerged as a central theme, while barriers and technostress became a new issue that developed in the latest literature trends. The visual overlay analysis also shows a shift in focus from the technological aspect to the strategic and human resources aspect. This research makes a theoretical contribution in identifying the direction and opportunities for advanced research in the field of digital leadership, as well as practical implications for organizations in sustainably managing digital transformation. This study also emphasizes the importance of digital competence, continuous innovation, and mitigation of technological barriers as the foundation for organizational success in the era of digital disruption.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of night shifts, work-life balance, and ergonomic factors on the risk of workplace accidents, with compliance to safety protocols as a mediating variable. The research was conducted on 154 respondents working in high-risk sectors. Data analysis was carried out using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with the SmartPLS 4 software. The results show that night shifts have a significant and positive effect on the risk of workplace accidents. Meanwhile, work-life balance and ergonomic factors significantly influence compliance with safety protocols. However, compliance with safety protocols does not significantly affect the risk of accidents, and thus does not mediate the relationships between the other variables in the proposed model. These findings highlight the importance of better-managed night shift systems and the reinforcement of ergonomic conditions and work-life balance in ensuring a safe working environment. The practical implications call for managerial interventions and holistic occupational safety policies. Future studies are recommended to include additional variables such as job stress or safety culture, and to consider mixed-method approaches for a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of creativity, venture capital, and entrepreneurial spirit on business sustainability, with innovation excellence as a mediating variable in the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) sector. The background of this study lies in the crucial role of innovation in strengthening the competitiveness and sustainability of MSMEs in the midst of a constantly changing business environment. The method used is a quantitative approach using Partial Least Squares-based Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected through closed questionnaires distributed to 150 active MSME actors in Pangkalpinang. The results of the analysis show that creativity and venture capital significantly and indirectly affect business sustainability through innovation excellence. Innovation excellence is proven to be a significant mediating variable, strengthening the relationship between internal business factors and sustainability. In contrast, entrepreneurial spirit does not show a significant influence, either directly or indirectly, through innovation. These findings emphasize that business strategies that focus on increasing innovation and creativity, supported by adequate access to capital, are more effective in creating sustainable companies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality, interpersonal communication of medical personnel, and facility availability on patient satisfaction at Pangkalpinang City General Hospital (RSUD Kota Pangkalpinang), as well as to examine the mediating role of patients' economic perception. A quantitative approach was employed through a survey method involving 218 outpatient and inpatient respondents. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) with the SmartPLS 4 application. The results indicate that service quality, interpersonal communication, and facility availability have a positive and significant effect on patient satisfaction. Furthermore, patients’ economic perception significantly mediates the relationship between service quality and interpersonal communication with patient satisfaction, but does not significantly mediate the relationship between facility availability and patient satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of improving service quality and interpersonal communication, as well as strengthening patients’ economic perception to optimize patient satisfaction in hospitals. This research provides practical implications for hospital management in designing more holistic and patient-oriented service quality improvement strategies.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of profitability, investment strategy, and financial results on stock returns of companies in the infrastructure sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020-2024. The methodology used consists of panel data regression using a quantitative framework, referring to secondary data sourced from companies' annual financial reports. The independent variables investigated include Return on Assets (ROA) as a profitability metric, total assets that serve as a proxy for investment strategy, and current ratio as a benchmark for financial performance. The research findings show that ROA and total assets exert a positive and statistically significant influence on stock returns, while the current ratio shows no significant impact. These findings indicate that investors tend to consider profitability and asset strength when making investment decisions in the infrastructure sector. This study provides practical implications for company management and investors, and recommends further research by including external variables and comparing with other sectors to obtain a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of capital structure, liquidity, and firm size on firm value in the technology sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2019–2023. Using panel data regression with the random effects model, the results reveal that both capital structures, as measured by Debt-to-Equity Ratio, and liquidity, as measured by Current Ratio, have a significant and positive effect on firm value. The findings indicate that technology companies that manage their leverage and liquidity efficiently tend to achieve higher market valuations. In contrast, firm size does not have a significant impact on firm value in this sector. The results are consistent with the Trade-Off Theory and Liquidity Theory, which emphasize the importance of optimal debt usage and adequate liquidity for enhancing firm value and investor confidence. These findings have practical implications for technology firms to optimize their capital structure and maintain healthy liquidity levels. For future research, it is recommended to include other variables such as profitability and macroeconomic factors, and to conduct comparative studies across different sectors to enrich the understanding of determinants of firm value.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence students' investment intentions in Bangka Belitung, by highlighting the role of investment education, risk perception, price perception, and motivation as mediating variables. Using a quantitative approach with PLS-SEM analysis techniques, data were obtained from 286 students in various universities. The results show that price perception has the most dominant direct influence on investment intentions, indicating students' sensitivity to the affordability aspect. Meanwhile, investment education does not show a significant influence, suggesting the possibility of inappropriate material or delivery methods. Interestingly, risk perception has a positive effect on motivation, which then mediates investment intentions, illustrating that risk is seen as a challenge, not an obstacle. Motivation plays an important role in bridging perceptions to real actions. The socio-cultural context of Bangka Belitung, which is still dominated by traditional investment and limited digital access, reinforces the importance of locally-based financial literacy. This study provides recommendations for designing investment education programs that are contextual, affordable, and able to inspire the younger generation in making rational and sustainable investment decisions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the effect of exercise, competition, and motivation on work engagement and employee performance, with work engagement as a mediating variable in employees of the Pangkal Pinang City Health Office. The research method used is quantitative with the Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach, involving 112 purposively selected respondents. The analysis results show that specifically, competition is the factor that has the most significant effect on work engagement and employee performance, followed by motivation with a moderate effect, while exercise shows the least effect. Work engagement was shown to partially mediate the relationship between motivation and competition on employee performance. These findings confirm the importance of human resource development strategies that not only focus on training but also on creating a healthy competitive environment, increasing motivation, and strengthening work engagement to encourage optimal employee performance. This study recommends the need to develop an integrated organisational programme to improve employee engagement and performance, as well as further research by expanding the variables and methods used.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of price, social media endorsement, and venue atmosphere on purchase decisions, with consumer satisfaction as a moderating variable, within the context of coffee shop consumers in Pangkal Pinang, Indonesia. The research employs a quantitative approach using survey data collected from 200 respondents who meet specific criteria related to digital behavior and purchasing experience. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that while price does not significantly affect purchase decisions directly, it strongly influences consumer satisfaction, which in turn has a significant effect on purchase decisions. Social media endorsement exerts a direct and significant influence on both satisfaction and purchase decisions, underlining its strategic importance in contemporary digital marketing. Meanwhile, venue atmosphere significantly enhances satisfaction but shows limited direct impact on purchase decisions, confirming its mediating role through emotional experience. This research emphasizes the importance of integrated marketing strategies that combine pricing, influencer marketing, and atmospheric design to optimize consumer satisfaction and drive purchasing behavior in service-based industries.
