Abstract

Through influencers and E-WoM, TikTok creates a favourable environment for users in adapting and trying new things, both in terms of consuming products and marketing products. Through Baudrillard's theory, it can be seen that Gen Z consumption culture is influenced by their self-representation on social media. The background of this research lies in a shift in the paradigm of beauty consumption in the era of Generation Z. TikTok users quickly promoted and adopted a variety of beauty trends, creating a foundation for understanding the symbolic meaning created by the Gen Z consumption culture. The theory used is Jean Baudrillard's theory of consumer society. In this theory, consumer society no longer consume objects based on exchange values or usage values, but because of symbolic values which are abstract and constructed in nature. This article uses a literary study research method that involves searching and critically analysing relevant literature related to the title of the article. This study aims to explain Gen Z consumption culture on Tiktok beauty trend through Baudrillard's sociological economic perspective. Therefore, this article not only explains the beauty trends that are emerging in TikTok, but also opens up a discussion about how tikTok contributes to the formation of Gen Z identity and consumption culture.

Abstract

Fishing communities in Indonesia are often the most vulnerable social group to poverty and marginalization. Although the marine sector has great potential for the economy, small and traditional fishermen are often trapped in a cycle of poverty that is difficult to break. This article examines the poverty trap experienced by fishing communities through the perspective of social conflict theory. Using a qualitative approach that includes data collection through a literature review, this study analyzes how the unequal distribution of resources and power in the fisheries sector leads to exploitation and worsens the socio-economic conditions of fishers. Factors such as dependence on middlemen, market price instability, unfavorable fisheries policies, and marine ecosystem degradation due to overfishing and climate change further strengthen the poverty chain. In addition, internal conflicts within fishing communities also play a role in exacerbating poverty conditions. This article seeks to uncover the dynamics of social and economic conflicts that plague fishing communities, and offers solutions based on community empowerment and fairer policy reforms

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of managerial ownership and institutional ownership on the financial performance of technology sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2022–2024 period. Managerial and institutional ownership are considered as corporate governance mechanisms that may influence the effectiveness of decision-making and resource allocation within a company. Financial performance is measured using Return on Assets (ROA) to assess the efficiency of asset utilization in generating profits. This research employs a quantitative method with an associative approach. Data were obtained from the annual financial reports of technology companies listed on the IDX for the 2022–2024 period. The data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression to examine the partial and simultaneous effects of ownership structure on financial performance. The results indicate that both managerial ownership and institutional ownership have a positive relationship with financial performance. However, these relationships are not statistically significant. Managerial ownership, although showing a positive coefficient, does not significantly influence ROA, and the same applies to institutional ownership, whose impact remains weak, possibly due to the lack of active monitoring from institutional investors. These findings suggest that ownership structure alone is insufficient to explain variations in financial performance within technology companies. Other factors such as company size, leverage, innovation, and operational efficiency may play a more dominant role. Therefore, future research should consider incorporating these additional variables to obtain a more comprehensive understanding. This study highlights the need for enhanced corporate governance practices, particularly active oversight from institutional investors, to improve company performance.
