Abstract

The rapid growth of e-wallet technology is reshaping financial transaction behavior, particularly among Generation Z. However, many e-wallet providers struggle to ensure long-term adoption and continued use, due to limited comprehension of the cognitive and psychological factors that drive user decisions in this demographic. This study addressed the gap by empirically analyzing how perceived usefulness and user attitude determine the usage decision of e-wallet services among Generation Z, a technologically adept yet under-researched segment. This study's innovation is found in examining the indirect pathway of perceived usefulness influencing usage decisions through user attitude within a Generation Z context. Employing a quantitative approach, primary data were collected from 125 Generation Z e-wallet users using an online questionnaire.   The data was analysed using partial least squares structural equation modelling, or PLS-SEM.)  through SmartPLS 4.0, testing three key constructs: perceived usefulness, attitude toward use, and usage decision. The findings demonstrated that perceived usefulness had a significant positive effect on both user attitude (coefficient = 0.814, p < 0.05) and usage decision (coefficient = 0.351, p < 0.05). Furthermore, user attitude was found to be a strong predictor of usage decision (coefficient = 0.588, p < 0.05) and served as a significant mediator, with an indirect effect of perceived usefulness on usage decision (coefficient = 0.479, p < 0.05). 80.5% of the variation was explained by the model in usage decision, underscoring its high explanatory power. In conclusion, the study establishes that perceived usefulness is fundamental in shaping positive user attitudes and subsequent e-wallet adoption decisions among Generation Z, emphasizing the mediating role of attitude in the technology acceptance process. These insights inform both theoretical frameworks of technology acceptance and practical strategies for e-wallet providers to boost user engagement and retention.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Electronic Word of Mouth (E-WOM), Celebrity Endorser, and Brand Image on the purchasing decisions of MS Glow cosmetics consumers in Samarinda, Indonesia. While these factors are recognized drivers of consumer behavior, their combined effect in the context of local beauty brands remains underexplored. Data were collected from 120 respondents via a questionnaire and analyzed using Partial Least Squares (PLS). The results demonstrate that all three variables: E-WOM, Celebrity Endorser, and Brand Image have a significant positive influence on purchase decisions. Notably, Brand Image emerged as the strongest predictor. The findings underscore the critical role of a coordinated marketing strategy that leverages credible peer reviews, strategic celebrity partnerships, and consistent brand-building to drive consumer action in the competitive cosmetics market

Abstract

This study examines the influence of foreign ownership, CEO tenure, and ownership concentration on corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure, with board gender diversity as a moderating variable, in energy sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2019–2023. Using a quantitative associative approach, data were collected from 47 purposively sampled companies. CSR disclosure was measured using the CSR Disclosure Index (CSRDI) based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards 2021, while ownership structure and managerial characteristics were measured through secondary data obtained from annual and sustainability reports. Data analysis employed Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with WarpPLS 7.0 to test the research hypotheses. The results reveal that foreign ownership and ownership concentration have significant positive effects on CSR disclosure, whereas CEO tenure has a significant negative effect. Interestingly, board gender diversity does not significantly moderate the relationships between ownership structure, CEO tenure, and CSR disclosure. These findings contribute to the development of legitimacy theory and stakeholder theory by showing how ownership and leadership characteristics influence disclosure practices in emerging markets. Practically, the study provides implications for regulators and companies in Indonesia to strengthen sustainability governance, improve CSR reporting quality, and encourage meaningful board diversity

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of Audit Quality, Audit Delay, Firm Size (SIZE), and Return on Assets (ROA) on firm value, proxied by Price to Book Value (PBV), in food and beverage companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2019–2024 period. The research focuses on 25 companies, with data obtained from their published financial statements. The analytical method applied is multiple linear regression, supported by hypothesis testing through the F-test and t-test. Prior to the regression analysis, classical assumption tests were conducted to ensure the reliability and validity of the model. The empirical results reveal that Audit Quality, Firm Size, and ROA do not have a statistically significant effect on PBV. However, Audit Delay is found to exert a significant negative influence, suggesting that longer delays in audit completion reduce firm value as perceived by investors. When tested simultaneously, the four independent variables fail to show a significant predictive power in explaining PBV variations. This finding is further confirmed by the Adjusted R Square value of 0.037, indicating that only 3.7% of the variation in firm value can be explained by the studied variables, while the remaining 96.3% is likely influenced by other factors outside the scope of this model. Overall, the study concludes that among the examined determinants, only Audit Delay significantly affects firm value in IDX-listed food and beverage companies, while Audit Quality, Firm Size, and ROA do not exhibit notable contributions. The limited explanatory power of the model highlights the need for future research to incorporate additional financial and non-financial factors that may better capture the dynamics of firm value.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of the implementation of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) on the quality of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) disclosure in six ASEAN countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, and the Philippines. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing secondary data from sustainability reports for 2022-2023, analyzed using panel data regression with a fixed effects model. The results indicate that both independent variables have a significant positive partial effect on SDGs disclosure. The SASB variable demonstrated a significant influence with an error rate of 14%, while the GRI variable was significant with a 3.7% error rate. These findings indicate that the adoption of specific sustainability reporting standards SASB with its focus on industry-specific material topics and GRI with its comprehensive framework effectively enhances corporate transparency and accountability in achieving sustainable development objectives. This research provides practical implications for policymakers and regulators in the ASEAN region to promote the harmonization and adoption of standardized reporting frameworks to improve the quality of SDGs disclosure, which can ultimately attract investment, create jobs, and improve societal welfare. The originality of the study lies in its application of the Sustainability Maturity Model theoretical framework and the use of panel data regression analysis to investigate the complex interactions between these variables within the ASEAN context.

Abstract

This research aims to measure the potential risk and potential return as well as the application of the high risk high return principle of murabahah, mudharabah and musyarakah financing at Bank Muamalat Indonesia for the 2019-2023 period. The calculation technique uses the VaR and RAROC methods. The results of the analysis show that murabahah financing has the smallest potential risk and mudharabah financing has the greatest potential risk. This can be seen from the magnitude of the VaR (Mean) and VaR (Zero) values. Throughout the year period the VaR value always shows a negative value, which means it shows the potential return. In line with VaR calculations, positive RAROC method calculation results indicate potential returns that are adjusted to have potential profits due to income received being greater than the value of expected losses. Meanwhile, the application of high return, high risk is not in accordance with the potential risk and return as measured by the RAROC method. The RAROC value which indicates the largest return is in 2022, while the equivalent rate which indicates the smallest return (biggest risk) is in 2019.
