Abstract

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between heuristic behavioral biases and investment decision-making among Generation Z in Banyumas Regency, based on Behavioral Finance Theory and Heuristic Behaviour Theory, using financial literacy as a mediator in the decision-making process. The methods used in this study are quantitative, employing purposive sampling techniques with data from Generation Z in Banyumas who invest in financial and real assets, comprising 282 respondents aged 18-29 years. Data were collected via a questionnaire and analyzed using the SmartPLS method to test the relationship among variables in the research model, as measured through questionnaire indicators. The results showed that availability has a significant positive direct effect on investment decisions; overconfidence and availability have significant positive effects mediated by financial literacy; whereas representativeness does not have a significant effect on investment decisions, either directly or indirectly. A key finding of this study is that financial literacy partially mediates heuristic behavior regarding investment decisions. The results of this study indicated that the higher a person’s financial literacy, the more rational they will be in making investment decisions to achieve returns on their investments.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influencePerceived Organizational Support (POS) on job satisfaction and performance of non ASN employees at Wuluhan Community Health Center. Non ASN employees have an important role in health services, but face limited welfare and high workloads. The study population consisted of 77 employees. A purposive sample of 37 non ASN employees was selected based on predefined inclusion criteria, namely employees with non ASN employment status who had worked for at least one year and were actively working during the data collection period. Total sampling was not employed because the study specifically focused on non ASN employees who met these eligibility criteria, while the remaining employees did not fit the research objectives. Data were collected using validated and reliable questionnaires and analyzed through classical assumption tests, hypothesis testing, and path analysis. The findings indicate that Perceived Organizational Support positively influences job satisfaction and employee performance. Job satisfaction also has a positive effect on employee performance and serves as a mediator in the relationship between Perceived Organizational Support and employee performance. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening organizational support to improve both job satisfaction and the performance of non ASN employees.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of financial efficiency, institutional quality, fiscal policy, and natural resources on inclusive green growth in Bangladesh during 1990–2025. Unlike previous studies that primarily focus on the direct effects of financial development, this study distinguishes between the efficiency of financial institutions and financial markets to provide a more comprehensive understanding of their contributions to sustainable development. The study employs the Kernel based Regularized Least Squares (KRLS) approach, estimating both average marginal effects and pointwise KRLS average marginal effects to identify nonlinear and heterogeneous relationships across observations. The empirical findings show that financial institution efficiency plays a significant role in promoting inclusive green growth by improving the allocation of financial resources toward productive and environmentally sustainable activities. In contrast, financial market efficiency has a negative effect, suggesting that efficient financial markets may continue financing environmentally intensive investments in the absence of adequate green finance incentives. Institutional quality and fiscal policy have significant positive effects, highlighting the importance of good governance and effective public expenditure in achieving sustainable and inclusive development. Natural resources also contribute positively, indicating that responsible and sustainable resource management can support long term development. The findings emphasize the need to strengthen financial institutions, improve governance, implement green fiscal policies, and manage natural resources sustainably. Fiscal policy should prioritize green public investment, climate-resilient infrastructure, and environmentally sustainable initiatives. Stronger monitoring, conservation, and community participation are also essential for responsible resource management. Together, these measures can help Bangladesh achieve economic growth while advancing social inclusion and environmental sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the level of satisfaction of BPJS outpatients with the quality of service at Ambulu Community Health Center and identify the gap between patient perceptions and expectations for each service attribute. This study is a survey study with a quantitative approach. The respondents were 94 BPJS outpatients selected using the Slovin formula. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, then analyzed using the SERVQUAL method, Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI), and Importance Performance Analysis (IPA). The results showed that all SERVQUAL dimensions had negative gap values, indicating that the service received by patients did not fully meet expectations. The empathy dimension had the largest gap value, followed by direct evidence, responsiveness, assurance, and reliability. The CSI calculation results showed a value of 77.61%, indicating that patients were generally in the satisfied category, although this satisfaction was not evenly distributed across all service attributes. The IPA analysis showed that there were two attributes in Quadrant I, namely waiting room seating facilities and staff gratitude at the end of the service, which reflected aspects of physical comfort and service attitudes that were not optimal. These findings indicate that patient satisfaction is more influenced by certain attributes, so special attention is needed to attributes with a high level of importance but still low performance.

Abstract

The growth of Islamic banking assets in Indonesia following the global health crisis faces significant challenges due to uncertainty in macroeconomic conditions and the post-pandemic structural recovery process. These dynamics require adaptive internal governance, as fluctuations in financial performance can directly threaten the sustainability of business expansion for Islamic financial institutions. This quantitative study aims to empirically test the effects of operational efficiency and financing risk on asset growth, with profitability serving as a mediating variable. This study employs a purposive sampling approach covering 13 Sharia Commercial Banks (BUS) in Indonesia under the supervision of the Financial Services Authority (OJK). The collection of annual financial statement data for the 2021–2025 period yielded a total of 65 observations. The methodological framework was analyzed using panel data regression and indirect effect path testing (Sobel test) via EViews 12 software. The empirical findings reveal that operational efficiency (BOPO) paradoxically exerts a significant positive impact on asset growth, proving that directing operating expenses toward productive, targeted allocations effectively fuels bank expansion. In contrast, financing risk (NPF) acts as a severe roadblock, carrying a sharp negative influence on the asset growth rate and confirming that a rise in bad loans directly puts the brakes on asset accumulation. Furthermore, profitability (ROA) successfully serves as a vital mediating bridge for both pathways, significantly connecting BOPO to asset growth as well as bridging the impact of NPF on asset growth. This insight conveys a clear message: strictly controlling operating costs and keeping credit default rates low are essential for improving profitability, which ultimately acts as the main financial driver fuelling sustainable asset growth for Ssharia Commercial Banks (BUS).

Abstract

 East Java Province is renowned as one of the central provinces contributing significantly to the national economy, with a positive trend in the Human Development Index (HDI). This study aims to analyze and examine the partial and simultaneous effects of variables such as Poverty Rate, Labor Force Participation, Population Size, and Economic Inequality on the Human Development Index (HDI) in East Java Province. The analysis is grounded in the application of both conventional theory and the principles of Maqashid Shariah. This research employs a quantitative approach using explanatory statistical methods. A total of 152 samples from the years 2020–2023 were obtained through purposive sampling techniques. The analytical method utilized is the panel data regression estimation model, which combines time series and cross-sectional data. The results indicate that the poverty rate has a negative and significant impact on the Human Development Index (HDI) in East Java Province, contrary to the Maqashid Shariah principle, which aims to enhance the quality of HDI in the region. Labor force participation has a positive but insignificant effect on HDI, also conflicting with the Maqashid Shariah principle of improving HDI quality. Population size positively and significantly influences HDI, aligning with the Maqashid Shariah principle to enhance HDI quality in East Java Province. Economic inequality positively and significantly affects HDI, which is consistent with the Maqashid Shariah principle for improving HDI quality in East Java Province.

Abstract

This paper studies strategic question answering over SEC filings for top-management decision support through a comprehensive evaluation on the SecQue benchmark, encompassing expert-written comparison, ratio, risk, and analysis tasks. The study operationalizes a board-facing retrieval-control stack with four integrated components: evidence retrieval, answer composition, refusal control, and explanation tracing. The benchmark contains 565 expert-written questions distributed across 220 comparison questions, 188 ratio questions, 85 risk questions, and 72 analysis questions. Empirical results demonstrate that metadata-aware retrieval significantly outperforms conventional lexical baselines, while specialized synthesis models achieve superior textual alignment and numerical fidelity. Furthermore, negative-testing and explanation diagnostics confirm robust cross-company refusal mechanisms and complete metadata provenance tracing. By filtering ungrounded assertions and highlighting precise metadata provenance, these automated control layers significantly reduce cognitive overload for corporate directors evaluating dense filings under tight time constraints. Ultimately, grounding board-level synthesis in auditable, trace-backed financial evidence mitigates informational asymmetry between executive teams and non-executive board members
