Abstract

ESG investing, centered on a company's environmental, social, and governance practices, has surged in popularity as businesses recognize the imperative of catering to a wider array of stakeholders beyond shareholders. Investors have transitioned from a profit-centric ethos to one that prioritizes broader societal impact. Evaluation criteria now encompass a company's commitment to ESG principles and responsible business conduct. This transformative investor perspective encourages companies to openly embrace ESG integration, particularly emphasizing environmental considerations. Nevertheless, the specter of greenwashing, where companies engage in deceptive practices to feign environmental responsibility, persists as a contentious issue in the ongoing dialogue surrounding ESG investing.

Abstract

Companies most likely give a great deal of attention to workers' performance, as they should be doing. Employees need to be taken into consideration since they are highly crucial to building productivity and profitability, which, in turn, may have repercussions for the success of a business. However, these results will only occur with excellent performance from employees. This research was conducted to know whether self-efficacy and transformational leadership partially or simultaneously affect job performance. Participants in this study were randomly selected from PT. Panca Mitra Multiprima. In this research project, a random sampling approach was used to collect data, and 128 samples were obtained. Meanwhile, we used a questionnaire that had previously been tested for validity and reliability for data collection purposes. In this study, multiple linear regression analysis was the method of choice for data mining. According to research findings, transformational leadership and self-efficacy have an excellent effect on work performance, but only transformational leadership is significant. Self-efficacy, on the other hand, is not significant. In addition, the two different aspects of work performance simultaneously have a good and substantial influence.
