Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the influence of wages and allowances on productive working hours and business income at PT Hai Wah Talbuk, a medium-sized enterprise in Mimika, Papua. It identifies which compensation component—wages or allowances—most affects productivity and how productive hours impact revenue. Methodology: A quantitative approach using 2017–2024 time-series secondary data was applied. Variables included wages, allowances, productive working hours, and company income. Multiple linear regression analyzed the effect of wages and allowances on working hours, while simple linear regression assessed the impact of productive hours on income. Classical assumption tests validated the model. Results: Wages had a significant positive effect on productive working hours (p < 0.05), while allowances were positive but insignificant. Productive working hours strongly influenced business income (R² = 0.966; p < 0.01), confirming a direct link between productivity and financial performance. Conclusions: Wages significantly boost productive working hours and, in turn, company income, while allowances have a weaker effect. Productive hours are a key driver of revenue, emphasizing the role of effective wage policies. Limitations: The study focuses on one company, excluding qualitative factors like leadership or organizational culture. Contribution: Provides empirical evidence for SMEs and policymakers to prioritize monetary compensation over non-cash benefits to improve labor productivity and revenue in remote, resource-limited regions.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the impact of the W. R. Supratman Road infrastructure development on the local economy in Pasar Sentral Subdistrict, Mimika Regency, focusing on its influence on community income, business growth, and the distribution of goods and services. Research/methodology: A descriptive quantitative approach was applied, employing a paired sample t-test to compare economic indicators before and after road development. Primary data were gathered through questionnaires distributed to 30 purposively selected residents and business actors, while secondary data were obtained from government institutions. Data analysis included descriptive statistics and triangulation through interviews and field observations. Results: The findings show that road development significantly increased average household income by Rp. 683,333, improved business opportunities by 1.72 points, and enhanced the distribution of goods and services by 1.97 points. These outcomes indicate notable improvements in local economic activities after the infrastructure upgrade. Conclusions: The construction of W. R. Supratman Road positively influenced the economic conditions of the Pasar Sentral community by improving accessibility, stimulating business growth, and enhancing welfare. Better infrastructure facilitated trade flows and raised property values, supporting inclusive regional development. Limitations: The study is limited by a small sample size and short-term scope, which may not fully capture broader or long-term regional impacts. Contribution: This research provides empirical evidence of how targeted road infrastructure promotes local economic resilience and inclusive growth, offering useful insights for policymakers in regional planning.
