Abstract

Global health transformation toward inclusive and sustainable healthcare services faces significant challenges regarding productivity disparities among healthcare workers between urban and rural areas. This study aims to analyze the determinant factors of healthcare worker productivity using econometric models within the framework of inclusive health transformation in underserved areas. This cross-sectional quantitative research involved 32 healthcare workers from four Primary Health Centers (Bumbu, Binanga, Keaang, and Tarialu) in West Sulawesi, selected through purposive sampling with a minimum one-year work experience criterion. The research instrument utilized a validated structured questionnaire with a 1-4 Likert scale. The variables examined included work environment (X1), discipline factors (X2), and technology support as moderating variables, with work productivity and performance effectiveness as dependent variables. Analysis employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) using PLS. The results demonstrated strong model validity with R-square values of 92.3% for work productivity and 83.4% for performance effectiveness. Work discipline showed a significant positive effect on performance effectiveness (coefficient 1.117, p<0.05), while work environment exhibited a non-significant negative effect on productivity (coefficient -0.058, p>0.05). Technology support revealed opposing moderation paradoxes in both examined relationships. This research unveils the technology paradox phenomenon in inclusive health transformation and confirms work discipline as the primary driver of healthcare worker performance effectiveness, with important implications for more nuanced health technology implementation strategies.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of work attitude on employee performance with organizational commitment as a mediating variable in private companies in Indonesia. The research is motivated by the growing importance of understanding psychological factors in human resource management, particularly in efforts to enhance employee performance. Employing a quantitative explanatory approach, the study collected data through a survey of 100 permanent employees. The findings reveal that work attitude has a positive and significant effect on employee performance, both directly and indirectly through organizational commitment as a mediating variable. Furthermore, work attitude significantly influences organizational commitment, which in turn positively affects employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of fostering a strong psychological connection between employees and their organization to improve work outcomes.

Abstract

Creative business performance is not only measured by financial gain, but also by the ability to innovate, customer satisfaction, and business sustainability. In this age of digitalization, using digital technology is crucial for facing new challenges and opportunities. This research examines the role of government policy, access to capital, social networks, and creative business performance in driving regional economic growth, with a case study in Banjarnegara Regency. To enhance the accuracy of the findings, this study employs a qualitative methodology, cross-referencing information, including observation, interviews, focus group discussions, and existing documents. The informants consisted of nine creative business owners and related government officials. The results show that, to date, there is no specific local government policy regulating creative economic activities in Banjarnegara. Access to financing information is still limited, so a strategy is needed to expand capital opportunities for creative business owners. However, social networks among business owners are quite good, as evidenced by the formation of communities and business groups according to their respective fields. The performance of creative businesses is considered positive because the owners have the ideas, concepts, and skills to develop their businesses. This is reflected in the increasing number of creative business owners in Banjarnegara. In conclusion, strengthening government policies and access to capital is necessary to reinforce the creative business ecosystem, which already has good social networks and performance, so that it can contribute optimally to regional economic growth.

Abstract

Many consumers prioritize health, fitness, and social issues, which turns them into wiser purchasing decisions. However, even though vegetarian consumers have appropriate dietary preferences, this does not necessarily guarantee high purchasing decisions for all available plant-based products. This study has developed an empirical model using Pull Push Mooring Theory to be able to explain the purchase decision of plant-based products from start-up companies. This study has developed an empirical model using Pull Push Mooring Theory to be able to explain the purchase decision of plant-based products from start-up companies. This model was tested using empirical data obtained through questionnaires from consumers who have purchased plant-based products from start-up companies. The data obtained were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling as a data analysis approach. The results of the study show that brand awareness, brand association, perceived quality, and brand loyalty are dimensions of brand equity that have a significant positive effect on purchase intention and customer preference. The results of the study also provide empirical evidence that brand equity, purchase intention and customer preference have a significant positive effect on the purchase decision of plant-based products from start-up companies.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze market behavior in the insurance, guarantee, and pension fund sectors in Indonesia through a strategic marketing approach. These three sectors play a crucial role in the national financial system, yet face challenges in terms of market penetration, consumer trust, and adaptation to changing consumer behavior. Using descriptive qualitative methods and literature review, this study examines how industry players design and implement marketing strategies to address domestic market dynamics. Three grand theories are used in this study: the Resource-Based View (RBV) (Barney, 1991), Porter's Five Forces (Porter, 1980), and Diffusion of Innovations (Rogers, 2003). The results indicate that digital integration, personalized service approaches, and increased financial literacy are key factors in shaping consumer behavior and strengthening competitiveness. This study also highlights the importance of collaboration between regulators and industry players in creating a sustainable marketing ecosystem. The strategic implications of these findings provide guidance for policymakers and practitioners in formulating more effective strategies amidst the ever-evolving financial industry landscape.

Abstract

Financial statement integrity is a crucial element in maintaining public trust and supporting sound economic decision-making, particularly in sectors related to essential consumer needs. However, despite the formal implementation of corporate governance mechanisms, concerns about governance effectiveness in safeguarding reporting integrity remain evident in the Indonesian capital market. This study examines how independent commissioners and institutional ownership affect financial statement integrity in consumer non-cyclical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2020–2024, using agency theory and resource dependence theory. Using a quantitative approach with panel data regression, the study analyzes 145 firm-year observations and applies the Random Effects Model as the most appropriate estimation technique. The results indicate that both independent commissioners and institutional ownership have a negative and significant effect on financial statement integrity. These findings suggest that governance mechanisms may function merely as formal compliance tools rather than effective monitoring and resource-providing instruments. Independent commissioners show limited effectiveness due to inadequate involvement and insufficient financial expertise, while institutional investors prioritize short-term performance objectives that may encourage opportunistic financial reporting. This study concludes that the effectiveness of corporate governance in enhancing financial statement integrity depends not only on structural compliance but also on the quality, independence, and strategic role of governance actors, providing important implications for regulators and practitioners.
