There are differences in several previous studies that discuss the model and the use of company size as a moderating variable, however, not much similar study has been done. Thus, it becomes the hold of this research. This study used a quantitative approach. The sampling technique in this study used Judgment Sampling with certain considerations. 20 companies are collected from the total number of companies in the manufacturing sector.
