Abstract

Numerous studies have examined the relationships among work environment, work motivation, job satisfaction, and employee performance, empirical findings remain inconsistent, particularly regarding the mediating role of job satisfaction. Moreover, research focusing on electro-mechanical contracting companies operating in project-based and high-risk environments remains limited. This study aims to analyze the influence of work environment and work motivation on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable. The research was conducted at PT. XXX involving 41 employees using a saturated sampling technique. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling, Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with bootstrapping to examine direct and indirect effects. The results indicate that work environment and work motivation significantly influence job satisfaction, and job satisfaction partially mediates their relationship with employee performance. However, the direct effects remain significant, suggesting complementary rather than full mediation. The findings reveal that in project-based organizational contexts, employee performance is shaped not only by psychological satisfaction but also by structural and operational demands. Theoretically, this study extends Herzberg’s Two-Factor Theory and is further supported by Self-Determination Theory by demonstrating that satisfaction functions as a psychological transmission mechanism rather than the sole determinant of performance. Practically, the findings highlight the importance of simultaneously strengthening structural work systems and motivational strategies to enhance employee performance.

Abstract

This study examines the governance structure of the Volkswagen Group’s global value chain in Europe from 2019 to 2025. This period is marked by intensified environmental regulation in the European automotive sector, with stricter emission-reduction targets and accelerated decarbonization strategies. Existing research on Volkswagen’s supply chain focuses on operational efficiency, production systems, and technological innovation, but pays limited attention to how environmental regulatory pressure shapes value chain governance in advanced manufacturing, even though global value chain theory suggests that regulatory pressure typically encourages firms to reorganize production networks through relocation strategies. However, Volkswagen Group presents an anomaly, as its production network remains highly centralized in Europe despite increasing regulatory pressure in the region. To address this gap, the study analyzes how governance structures within Volkswagen’s value chain under regulatory requirements. The research uses a qualitative design based on content analysis of secondary data, which includes company reports, sustainability reports, press releases, and academic publications. The Global Value Chain governance framework guides the assessment of transaction complexity, codification capability, and supplier capability. Findings indicate that Volkswagen’s value chain governance is best characterized as modular. This is reflected in high transaction complexity through JIT systems and product differentiation, strong codification capability via standardized supplier requirements and digital communication systems, and high supplier capability among technologically advanced suppliers

Abstract

Islamic bank operating in GCC region controlled approximately 52.5% of total global Islamic financial asset at the end of 2023. However, this large share of asset has not been accompanied by optimal profitability. The purpose in this study to examine the influence of CAR and CIR on ROA of Islamic bank in GCC region during the period 2020–2024 with placing the role of bank size as a mediating variable. The method applied is quantitative method through causal associative approach. This study utilizes secondary data obtained from annual financial report of 24 Islamic banks in GCC region, which were determined based on purposive sampling techniques. Data processing and analysis were conducted using panel data regression to test the relationships among variables, taking into account the effect of each entity as well as time-series factors using Fixed Effect Model in EViews 12 software, along with sobel test to examine the mediating role of bank size. The result of the first structural analysis CAR was found to have a significant influence on bank size, while CIR showed no. Furthermore, in the second structural analysis CIR and bank size significantly affect ROA, while CAR showed no. The sobel test result show that bank size is unable to mediate the influence of CAR and CIR on ROA. These finding indicate that operational efficiency and bank scale factors in Islamic bank in GCC region play a greater role in determining ROA than capital adequacy level. This study provides insights and serves as a basis for assessing the influence of CAR, CIR, and bank size on ROA of Islamic bank operating in GCC region.

Abstract

E-catalog systems have become essential tools in the digital age, revolutionizing the way companies and organizations show their goods and services to consumers. This study investigates the direct and indirect effect of e-catalog system quality (ESQ) on behavioral intention (BI) with perceived ease of use (PEOU) and perceived usefulness (PU) as intervening variables. Based on a sample of 75 respondents, the results indicated that ESQ has a significant positive effect on BI, ESQ has a significant positive impact on PU and PEOU, PU and PEOU have a significant positive effect on BI, PU and PEOU mediate the relationship between ESQ and BI. This study adds to the theoretical frameworks of technology acceptance by offering insights unique to the governmental domain. Practical contributions encompass guiding government agencies in enhancing their e-catalog offerings. The study offers actionable insights for optimizing system design, user interfaces, and functionality, with the aim of improving user experiences and fostering higher adoption rates.

Abstract

Digitalization has reshaped consumer behavior, yet prior studies show inconsistent evidence on whether brand image mediates the effects of social media marketing and product quality on purchasing decisions. This study examines these relationships in Endek MSMEs in Seririt District using a quantitative approach with SEM-PLS on 100 respondents. The results show that social media marketing and product quality significantly affect purchasing decisions, both directly and through brand image, which also exerts a strong independent influence. The study clarifies previous mediation inconsistencies and contributes practical insights for strengthening MSME competitiveness through improved digital marketing and product quality.
