Abstract

This study explores the influence of service quality and information quality on customer loyalty of B2B customers in logistics service company, with customer satisfaction and trust acting as mediating variables. A quantitative method was applied by collecting data from 278 business customers through structured questionnaires, which were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The findings reveal that service quality and information quality have both direct and trust-mediated effects on customer loyalty. Meanwhile, customer satisfaction does not mediate the influence of service quality or information quality on customer loyalty. These findings emphasize that improving service performance and ensuring reliable information are essential for sustaining long-term loyalty in business-to-business relationships.

Abstract

Eating savings became a solution for people to overcome daily life when the COVID-19 pandemic hit Indonesia. This research aims to examine the influence of income, consumption, and religiosity on the behavior of 'eating savings' in the muslim community of Ambon, with financial literacy as a moderate variable. This research uses a quantitative approach. The population is all muslim people in Ambon City consisting of civil servants, BUMN employees, teachers, lecturers, TNI/Polri. The number of samples used was 60 selected using the purposive sampling technique. The data collection technique used questionnaires via google forms. This study uses the structural equation modeling method using partial least square as a material for analyzing research data. The research results from the hypothesis test showed that the variables of income, religiosity, and financial literacy do not have a positive and significant effect or H0 is rejected. While the consumption variable has a positive and significant impact on eating savings H2 is accepted. This confirms that in the Covid-19 situation, the consumption of the Muslim community of Ambon remains high. People no longer think about good financial management, the most important thing is to be able to meet the needs and desires of the community. Financial literacy does not moderate the relationship of all variables, including income, consumption, and religiosity. The cause is the existence of a simple attitude and luxurious behaviour in consuming which is a lifestyle of the Muslim community of Ambon to fulfill their needs and desires.

Abstract

ESG disclosure has become a critical element for companies seeking to build credibility and strengthen their reputation, particularly in the coal industry, which faces heightened environmental and social scrutiny. This study provides empirical evidence on the effect of ESG disclosure on the corporate reputation of coal companies in Indonesia and examines the moderating role of firm size. A quantitative approach was employed using unbalanced panel data comprising coal companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2022–2024, resulting in 124 units of analysis. ESG disclosure was measured through economic, environmental, and social performance indicators, while corporate reputation was proxied by market reactions surrounding the publication dates of annual and sustainability reports. The analysis was conducted using Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA) with a Common Effect Model. The findings reveal that economic and environmental performance disclosures positively and significantly influence corporate reputation, whereas social performance disclosure shows no significant effect. Moreover, firm size weakens the influence of economic and environmental disclosures on reputation and fails to strengthen the effect of social disclosure. These results indicate that economic and environmental transparency play an essential role in shaping the reputation of coal companies, although their effectiveness may diminish for larger firms. This study contributes to the development of more effective ESG disclosure strategies within the mining sector.

Abstract

This study examines the role of data-driven innovation capabilities (DDIC) and marketing agility (MA) in enhancing competitive advantage (CA) among SMEs in Central Java. Using a quantitative approach and PLS-SEM analysis, the research tests two main hypotheses regarding the influence of DDIC on MA and the effect of MA on CA. The findings reveal that DDIC significantly strengthens MA, which subsequently improves firms’ competitive advantage. These results highlight the strategic importance of leveraging data, technology, market orientation, and organisational adaptability in responding to market dynamics. The study also emphasises that firms must invest in digital infrastructure and talent capabilities to fully optimize data-driven innovation efforts. Although limited by its geographical scope and selected variables, the research provides avenues for future studies, including incorporating objective performance indicators and conducting cross-cultural comparisons to enhance generalizability

Abstract

Incumbent organizations face a paradox that digital-native firms do not: they must transform the very structures that made them viable in the first place. This systematic literature review synthesizes 44 peer-reviewed sources across two analytical layers a PRISMA 2020 protocol covering Scopus (1990–2020), and a complementary thematic synthesis of literature published between 2014 and 2024 to map the mechanisms through which digital leadership drives strategic transformation in established firms. Three propositions, grounded in a Middle Range Theory (MRT) framework, organize the analysis: (1) co-creation strategy mediates the path from digital leadership to business model innovation, contingent on modular system architecture; (2) intellectual debate intensity between middle and top management determines whether organizations successfully traverse the "Valley of Death" at strategic inflection points; and (3) modular, reconfigurable architecture moderates digital leadership's effect on organizational agility. Beyond these mechanisms, the review identifies the "Digital Paradox"  the observed failure of heavy technology investment to produce strategic change when leadership architecture remains unchanged and finds that ambidextrous leadership resolves it by simultaneously exploiting current capabilities while building new digital competencies. The MRT framework confirms that traditional leadership theory retains explanatory power in algorithmically mediated structures, provided its boundary conditions are adjusted for distributed authority and recursive technology-social influence dynamics. Practical recommendations focus on two organizational prerequisites: psychologically safe environments where middle managers can challenge strategic assumptions, and deliberate investment in service-oriented, modular technology infrastructure.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the fraud factors in the fraud pentagon theory on the potential for financial statement fraud in financial sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2019–2024. The independent variables include financial targets, ineffective supervision, changes in company auditors, changes in directors, and CEO duality. The dependent variable is the potential for financial statement fraud, measured using the Beneish M-Score formula. The study also includes a moderating variable, namely the effectiveness of the audit committee, measured by the expertise of audit committee members and the frequency of audit committee meetings. The study analyzes 491 observations from financial sector companies using logistic regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). Results show that out of 15 hypotheses, 9 are supported. Independent variables that significantly influence the potential for financial statement fraud are financial targets, ineffective supervision, changes in auditors, and changes in directors. The moderating variables successfully moderate the relationship between pressure, rationalization, and competence. The study highlights that high public expectations for companies to generate substantial profits often drive financial reporting fraud. In addition to pressure, other conditions can also motivate fraudulent behavior. This research is important as it emphasizes the role of audit committee effectiveness in minimizing the potential for fraud and provides an empirical perspective on the application of the fraud pentagon theory in the Indonesian financial sector.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the accounting profession in Banjarnegara Regency, Central Java. Using a qualitative approach, the research focuses on accounting students' perceptions of AI, the challenges and opportunities of integrating AI into accounting, and its impact on the performance of accounting practitioners. Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with three accounting students and two accounting practitioners, supplemented by documentation. The findings of the study indicate that: (1) Accounting students have a positive perception of the use of AI in learning and completing accounting tasks; (2) The integration of AI in accounting presents opportunities for work efficiency while also posing challenges in adapting competencies; (3) The utilization of AI enhances the performance and effectiveness of accounting practitioners, although it introduces risks of dependency and data security. This research contributes empirically to the transformation of the accountant's  role  in  the  digital  era  and  implies  the  need  for  the  development  of  accounting education  curricula  that  integrate  AI  technology,  as  well  as  the  enhancement  of  digital competencies for accounting practitioners.
