Abstract

This study seeks to examine the impact of financial awareness on financial behavior, utilizing financial advisers as a mediating variable among Generation Y lecturers in Medan City participating in the government's 3 million subsidized housing program. The consistently poor quality of financial decision-making about subsidized housing ownership underscores the necessity of enhancing financial literacy, facilitated by the involvement of competent financial counselors. This research utilized a quantitative methodology, namely a survey technique including the dissemination of questionnaires to participants. The study's population comprised Generation Y lecturers in Medan City, with a sample size of 78 individuals selected through a random sampling method. The analysis of data was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to evaluate both direct and indirect correlations among variables. The findings indicated that financial awareness exerted a favorable and significant influence on financial behavior. Moreover, financial awareness substantially affected the utilization of financial advisors, which subsequently yielded a favorable impact on financial behavior. It was shown that financial advisors indirectly affected the link between financial knowledge and financial conduct. This research underscores the necessity for government and subsidized housing program administrators to incorporate financial literacy initiatives tailored to the distinct requirements of lecturers, including training in long-term financial planning, subsidized mortgage simulations, and financing risk management. Additionally, it is recommended that higher education institutions offer internal financial consulting services or partner with financial advising organizations to aid instructors in making prudent and sustainable financial choices. This study shows that banks and other financial institutions need to strengthen the role of financial advisors by using education and personalized services to improve the way customers handle their money, especially when it comes to subsidized housing financing programs

Abstract

This study examines the level of transparency in the management of independent mosque funds in Medan City, North Sumatra, Indonesia, evaluates adherence to accountability principles, and provides actionable recommendations for improvement. Using a quantitative research approach, questionnaires and observations were used to collect data from mosque administrators, worshippers, and donors at the Al-Musabbihin Mosque. These instruments were designed to assess trust and participation in mosque activities. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with Smart PLS 3.0, focusing on Outer and Inner Model evaluations. The results reveal that human resource (HR) competency, internal control systems, technological integration, stakeholder engagement, and compliance with financial management standards significantly impact transparency and accountability in mosque fund management. Additionally, organizational commitment amplifies the positive influence of HR competency and internal controls on these outcomes. The study highlights the critical need for ongoing HR development through targeted training and education to ensure effective and accountable fund management. Furthermore, establishing comprehensive internal control systems is essential to prevent fund misuse and build public trust. The findings demonstrate that transparent and accountable fund management fosters public confidence, optimizes resource utilization, and enhances the mosque’s capacity as a vibrant and empowered social institution.

Abstract

This study explores the role of burnout as a mediating variable in the relationship between cultural openness, servant leadership, and lecturers’ job satisfaction at Institut Bisnis Informasi Teknologi dan Bisnis, Medan City. In higher education, cultural openness and servant leadership are essential factors contributing to job satisfaction. However, high workloads can lead to burnout, potentially diminishing the positive effects of both factors. This study employs a quantitative approach, using a survey conducted with 51 lecturers as respondents. The results indicate that cultural openness significantly affects job satisfaction, reinforcing the importance of transparent communication and respect for diversity in fostering a supportive work environment. Conversely, servant leadership does not significantly affect job satisfaction or burnout, suggesting that this leadership style is less effective in the context of this study. Additionally, burnout does not significantly influence job satisfaction directly or as a mediating variable. These findings underscore the need to strengthen cultural openness as a key factor in enhancing lecturer job satisfaction. Furthermore, this study offers theoretical contributions to understanding the relationship between organizational culture, leadership, burnout, and job satisfaction while providing practical insights for policy development in higher education institutions.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of accounting knowledge and taxpayer attitudes on tax compliance among Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in North Medan. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through surveys distributed to SME owners and managers who are directly involved in financial decision-making. The study found that both accounting knowledge and positive taxpayer attitudes significantly influence tax compliance. Accounting knowledge enables business owners to understand tax obligations and manage financial records accurately, leading to improved compliance. Meanwhile, taxpayer attitudes, such as the perception of fairness and trust in the tax system, also play a crucial role in determining the level of compliance. The results suggest that enhancing accounting education and fostering positive attitudes toward taxation could improve tax compliance in the SME sector. This research provides valuable insights for policymakers and tax authorities aiming to promote compliance through targeted educational programs and awareness campaigns.
