Abstract

The rapid development of the global economy, supported by massive technological advances, has led to an increase in the potential risks faced by humans in meeting their various life needs. As a result, the challenges in dealing with it are certainly becoming more complex, both in terms of direct and indirect impacts. The purpose of this study is to find out whether or not there is an influence of the various variables studied, Contribution Income (X1), Claim Expense (X2), Underwriting Surplus/Deficit (Y) and Investment Result (Z). This study uses a causal associative method using a quantitative approach.

Abstract

Despite the rapid growth of global fintech, rural Indonesia still faces a financial inclusion gap, with the national index at 75.02% but the rural index at only 70.13% (OJK, 2024). This study examines the influence of financial technology and financial literacy on financial inclusion in Padamara Village, East Lombok. Using a descriptive quantitative approach with a pre-post survey design, a population of 5,443 people was sampled with 100 respondents through purposive sampling (Slovin formula, 10% margin of error). Primary data from a Likert scale questionnaire (Pearson Product Moment validity, Cronbach's Alpha reliability >0.70) were analyzed using SPSS 27, including descriptive statistics, Lilliefors normality test, and Paired Samples T-test. The results showed a significant increase post-intervention: financial technology scores from 1.94 (low) to 3.60 (high), financial literacy from 1.94 (low) to 3.59 (good), and financial inclusion from 1.87 (low) to 3.68 (high), all with p=0.001. The conclusion proves that both factors have a positive and significant effect on financial inclusion. Practical implications recommend that the Financial Services Authority (OJK) and village governments integrate fintech-literacy education programs.

Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of public asset value in local government, focusing on the roles of asset inventory, maintenance, and security, with user satisfaction as a mediating variable. The research addresses how these asset management practices influence public asset value directly and indirectly through user satisfaction. A quantitative explanatory design was employed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire from 30 respondents involved in asset management across multiple government agencies. The analysis included evaluation of measurement and structural models, as well as mediation testing bootstrapping. The results show that asset security has a positive and significant effect on both user satisfaction and public asset value, while asset inventory significantly influences user satisfaction but not asset value directly. Asset maintenance does not exhibit a significant effect on either variable. User satisfaction significantly affects public asset value and mediates the relationships between asset inventory and security with asset value. These findings indicate that public asset value is driven more by perceived usability and security than by administrative or routine maintenance processes. The study contributes to theory by integrating technical and user-centered perspectives in asset management and offers practical implications for policymakers to prioritize asset security and user-oriented strategies to enhance the effectiveness and value of public assets.

Abstract

Advances in digital technology, particularly in blockchain-based financial systems, have driven the increasingly widespread use of cryptocurrency in society. As the use of crypto platforms grows, security has become a primary concern, leading many platforms to adopt biometric authentication technologies such as fingerprint and facial recognition. This study aims to analyze the use of biometric data on crypto platforms and assess its suitability from an Islamic economic perspective. From an Islamic economic perspective, the use of biometric data on crypto platforms is fundamentally permissible because it does not involve elements of gharar, maysir, or riba; however, its use must adhere to the principle of benefit, protect privacy, and not cause harm to users. Thus, biometric technology is acceptable within the Islamic economy provided it is managed securely, transparently, and in accordance with Sharia principles.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the mukhabarah contract and its impact on farmers’ welfare in Mallongilongi Village. The background of this study is based on the discrepancy between profit-sharing practices in the field and the principles of justice in Islamic economics. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study design. Data were collected through observation and interviews, then analyzed descriptively. The results indicate that mukhabarah practices are still dominated by verbal agreements without clear documentation, potentially leading to a lack of transparency in profit-sharing. Additionally, a tendency toward profit-sharing that is not yet fully fair was identified, which impacts the low level of well-being among some farmers. From an Islamic economic perspective, these conditions do not yet reflect the principles of justice, balance, and public interest. Strengthening the understanding of Sharia contracts and improving the profit-sharing system to make it fairer are necessary, and these should serve as the foundation for further research.

Abstract

We investigate whether product quality and product safety shape the intention to buy Wardah skincare. This study also tests if influencers can strengthen that link. This study involved 100 Wardah skincare users recruited via purposive sampling technique. Data were collected using a 5-point Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed with PLS-SEM. The results reveal that perceptions of product quality and safety have a significant positive impact on purchase intention. Surprisingly, the role of influencers did not significantly moderate the relationship between product quality, safety, and purchase intention. This indicates that consumers prioritize functional value and safety assurance over promotional figures. The key takeaway for brands: invest in better formulation and clear safety certification first. Use influencers mainly to educate customers about ingredients, not just for endorsements. Future work could add brand trust or perceived risk and reach a wider sample. Practically, marketing budgets should prioritize product R&D and BPOM certification over paid influencer posts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of social media influencers and investment motivation on stock purchase intention, with Fear of Missing Out (FOMO) as a moderating variable among students of the University of Mataram. The hypotheses proposed are that social media influencers and investment motivation have a positive and significant effect on stock purchase intention, and that FOMO moderates these relationships. This research employs a quantitative approach with a causal associative design. The population consists of 235 students who are members of the Capital Market Study Group (KSPM) at the University of Mataram, with a sample of 100 respondents selected using random sampling techniques. Data were collected through a questionnaire based on a 5-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that social media influencers have a positive and significant effect on stock purchase intention, with an original sample value of 0.518, a T-statistic of 6.214, and a p-value of 0.000. Investment motivation also has a positive and significant effect on stock purchase intention, with an original sample value of 0.389, a T-statistic of 7.677, and a p-value of 0.000. Furthermore, FOMO is found to strengthen the influence of social media influencers on stock purchase intention, with an original sample value of 0.079, a T-statistic of 1.974, and a p-value of 0.048, while it weakens the influence of investment motivation on stock purchase intention, with an original sample value of -0.140, a T-statistic of 2.927, and a p-value of 0.003. The implications of this study highlight the importance of social and psychological factors in shaping investment behavior. Future research is recommended to expand the research scope and include additional variables to obtain more comprehensive results.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of a human capital plan to support the effectiveness of human resource management at PT Furnimate Creation (PT FMC), a furniture and interior design company. The background of this study is based on the importance of human resources as a strategic asset in creating competitive advantage, as well as the existence of a research gap that shows that studies related to the implementation of an integrated human capital plan in project-based and customization companies are still limited. This study uses a qualitative approach with descriptive methods. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation, involving the company's management and employees. Data analysis techniques were carried out using an interactive analysis model that includes data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, and its validity was tested through triangulation of sources, techniques, and time. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the human capital plan at PT Furnimate Creation (PT FMC) has been carried out in a structured manner through aspects of competency-based recruitment, employee training and development, performance assessment using a balanced scorecard approach, and a compensation system tailored to employee contributions. This implementation has been proven to support increased employee productivity and performance. However, several obstacles remain, such as limitations in the development of specialist competencies and the suboptimal integration between HR planning and the company's business strategy. The conclusions of this study indicate that human capital planning plays a crucial role in improving the effectiveness of HR management and supporting organizational sustainability. Therefore, a more integrated and long-term HR development strategy is needed to enhance company competitiveness.
