Abstract

Abstract— This research investigates further the moderating effect of self-esteem on gender relations on budgetary slack.This research examines the relationship between gender and budgetary slack. More than that, this study also analyzes the moderating effect of self-esteem on the relationship between gender and budgetary slack tendencies. During budgeting, subordinates try to avoid risks by doing budgetary slack. However, the perspective of gender socialization theory explains that there are differences in behavior in that women tend to avoid risks and are prone to depression compared to men. This study adds a new addition to budgetary slack literature based on informational characteristics attributes. Previous research on slack was limited and primarily focused on slack created by organizational factors. This study also enriches slack literature using an experimental design This study used an experimental method with a 2 x 2 factorial design between subjects and involved accounting students as participants. The findings show that slack tends to be more significant for male than female participants. The results of this study also show that self-esteem has a positive effect on budgetary slack tendencies. However, the research findings showed no interaction between the two variables. Differences in individual risk preferences concerning different genders are one of the primary keys to explaining the occurrence of dysfunctional behavior in activities that occur in organizations, especially when it comes to budgeting. This research implies that understanding individual personality based on gender is crucial in minimizing budgetary slack to determine the company. These findings can be considered regulators in designing effective control mechanisms by elaborating gender personality with individual self-esteem.

Abstract

This study explores budgetary slack in Islamic ultra microfinance institutions, specifically examining the role of religious affiliation. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data was collected through interviews at an Islamic Savings and Loans Financing Cooperative. The findings reveal a disparity between theoretical and practical perspectives on budgetary slack. An imbalance between targets and compensation drives actors to rationalize budgetary slack, exacerbated by information asymmetry. Religious affiliation primarily impacts business products and services but has little effect on subordinate behavior. Contrary to assumptions that budgetary slack is unlikely in Sharia-compliant systems, this study suggests that the Sharia institutional environment may still foster budgetary slack due to opportunistic behavior. This research is among the first to examine budgetary slack in Sharia microfinance institutions, highlighting the potential for such behavior even within religiously guided systems.

Abstract

Efficient business management and accurate calculation of the cost of goods sold are crucial elements in maximizing company profits. This study aims to analyze effective business management strategies and approaches to determining the cost of goods sold as strategic steps to enhance profitability. The research method employed is a quantitative approach, involving the analysis of the company's financial data and interviews with business practitioners to identify factors affecting operational efficiency and the accuracy of production cost calculations. The study results indicate that resource management efficiency, production cost control, and the application of appropriate cost calculation methods, such as the full costing or activity-based costing methods, can significantly improve profit margins. Furthermore, the implementation of product diversification strategies and optimal supply chain management contributes to reducing operational costs and increasing market competitiveness. This study concludes that success in maximizing profits depends not only on sales volume but also on effective business management and accurate cost of goods sold calculations. Recommendations from this study include improving managerial competencies, developing supporting technologies for cost calculations, and periodically evaluating the company's operational performance.
