Abstract

This study examines the impact of leverage, liquidity, and profitability on sukuk ratings for companies listed on PT Pefindo during 2020– 2023. Using a quantitative approach and secondary data from financial reports, 12 companies with 48 observations were analyzed through purposive sampling and EViews 12. The findings reveal that leverage does not significantly affect sukuk ratings, indicating that corporate debt levels are not the primary focus in sukuk evaluations. Liquidity has a significant positive effect, showing that higher liquidity enhances sukuk ratings. Profitability also shows no significant impact, suggesting that profit levels are not a key consideration in sukuk assessments. These results highlight the importance of liquidity management for issuers in improving sukuk appeal and provide insights for investors in evaluating sukuk risks and returns. This study contributes to Islamic finance literature by identifying factors influencing sukuk ratings.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of the UTAUT2 variables on Online Health Information Seeking Behavior for symptoms checking.

Managerial implications include the importance of habit formation and ease of use in online health platforms to increase the usage. This study also makes a theoretical contribution by showing the relationship between UTAUT2 variables and health information seeking behavior, which has rarely been explored before. Further research with larger samples and more specific segment is recommended to enhance the generalizability of these findings.

Abstract

Despite being a key driver of the national economy, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) continue to face significant challenges in enhancing their performance. While prior research has examined various factors influencing MSMEs' performance, limited attention has been given to the role of strategic flexibility and competitive intensity. This study aims to investigate the impact of strategic flexibility on MSMEs' performance, with competitive intensity as a moderating factor. To achieve this, the study involved 80 MSMEs from Yogyakarta and Sleman in data collection. Subsequently, the data was examined by employing a Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), ensuring a comprehensive evaluation of the proposed relationships. The findings reveal that strategic flexibility plays a direct role in improving MSMEs' performance, regardless the level of competitive intensity. This insight offers valuable theoretical contributions while also providing practical managerial implications for MSME owners and managers, emphasizing the importance of cultivating strategic flexibility to sustain business growth in an increasingly dynamic market environment.

Abstract

The large number of unemployment and turnover rates in Gen Z is a problem for a company. For this reason, it is necessary to conduct a study to determine the factors that influence Gen Z's job interest in Malang. This study used accidental sampling which amounted to 115 people. This research uses a quantitative approach by utilizing multiple regression SPSS analysis tools. The results of this study indicate that simultaneously compensation and motivation have a significant effect on Gen Z's job interest. Partially, compensation has not a significant effect on Gen Z work interest. Motivation has a significant effect on Gen Z job interest. The company is advised to prioritize strategies that can enhance the motivation of Gen Z. Although compensation does not show a significant partial effect, the average compensation value remains fairly high. Therefore, the company must continue to maintain a fair and competitive compensation system so that Gen Z feels valued and recognized.

This research uses quantitative method with a sample of 400 MSMEs selected through Accidental sampling technique as part of Non-Probability Sampling. The results show that Financial Literacy, Ease of Use, and Trust simultaneously affect the Transaction Decision using QRIS.

Conversely, Trust has no effect on Transaction Decisions using QRIS. This finding indicates that although Trust in the QRIS system does not affect transaction decisions, the Financial Literacy and Ease of Use factors still have an important role in MSME decisions to adopt QRIS as a payment method. This study provides valuable insights into the factors that need to be considered in increasing the adoption of QRIS among MSMEs in Balikpapan City. It is expected that further researchers add other relevant variables in order to get a deeper understanding of the adoption of QRIS by MSMEs.
