Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of work motivation, principal leadership, work environment, gender, and technological proficiency on teacher performance at Tiara School Jakarta within the framework of Total Quality Management (TQM). Using a quantitative approach with a causal associative design, this research involved all 35 teachers as the total sample. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results reveal that work motivation and technological proficiency have a positive and significant effect on teacher performance, with technological proficiency emerging as the most dominant factor. Conversely, principal leadership and work environment show a positive yet insignificant influence, while gender does not contribute significantly to performance differences. These findings emphasize that strengthening intrinsic motivation and digital competency is essential for enhancing teacher performance, especially in a TQM-oriented school environment. The implication of this study highlights the importance of continuous professional development, digital training, and quality-centered leadership as strategic efforts to improve educational quality in modern schools.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to compare the economic and financial feasibility of electric vehicles (EVs) and conventional vehicles (CVs) in tertiary distribution operations at PT Pos Indonesia, focusing on two operational units: KCU Karawang and KCU Cirebon. Methods: A quantitative comparative approach was applied using Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) and investment appraisal indicators, including Net Present Value (NPV), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Benefit–Cost Ratio (BCR), and Payback Period (PP). Operational data such as fuel consumption, maintenance, insurance, tax, and depreciation were analyzed under a five-year economic life cycle. Results: The findings show that EVs consistently outperform CVs across all major financial indicators. EVs reduce annual energy costs by up to 80%, significantly lower maintenance and tax expenses, and generate positive NPV values in both locations. IRR for EVs exceeds the 5% discount rate—9.35% in Karawang and 11.2% in Cirebon—while BCR values remain above 1. Payback periods for EVs are 4.4 years in Karawang and 4.3 years in Cirebon. Conversely, CVs show negative NPV, BCR < 1, and no recoverable payback period. Implications: The results highlight the strong financial viability of adopting EVs within Indonesia’s logistics sector, supporting strategic fleet electrification for long-term cost efficiency. The findings also reinforce national sustainability policies promoting low-carbon transportation and provide evidence-based insights for future investment decisions in logistics operations.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of omnichannel marketing on purchase intention at Alfamart, with electronic word of mouth as a mediating variable. The study used quantitative methods with a sample size of 152 respondents.Data were collected through an online questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale to measure omnichannel, purchase intention, and electronic word of mouth.Structural Equation Modeling approach based on Partial Least Squares (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0 software was used toproduces information related to the Loading Factor, Composite Reliability, Average Variance Extracted (AVE) values, and Hypothesis Testing Output both directly and indirectly. The results of the study indicate that all relationships between variables are proven positive and significant. Omnichannel has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention (T-Statistic = 3.805; P-Values ​​= 0.000), omnichannel has a positive and significant effect on E-WOM (T-Statistic = 11.133; P-Values ​​= 0.000). In addition, E-WOM also has a positive and significant effect on purchase intention (T-Statistic = 4.277; P-Values ​​= 0.000). Mediation analysis shows that E-WOM positively and significantly mediates the effect of omnichannel on purchase intention (T-Statistic = 3.834; P-Values ​​= 0.000). These findings indicate that effective omnichannel implementation not only directly increases purchase intention but also encourages the formation of digital reviews and recommendations, further strengthening purchase intention at Alfamart. Based on the research results and implications, several recommendations can be made for future research, including expanding the research object to various types of retail outlets, adding mediating variables, and combining research methods to provide more accurate respondent information. Omnichannel integration needs to be continuously optimized so that consumers can move seamlessly between physical stores and digital channels. Practically, companies need to improve the quality of digital services, such as easy access to product information, clarity of product availability, and ease of transactions, to encourage positive consumer reviews..

Abstract

Corruption remains a persistent institutional problem that potentially constrains economic performance, particularly in developing regions such as Southeast Asia. This study examines the effect of corruption on economic growth in four ASEAN countries—Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia—during the period 2012–2022. Using panel data regression analysis, this research incorporates corruption perception, human development, and constitutional quality as key explanatory variables influencing economic growth, measured by real GDP per capita. The Fixed Effect Model (FEM) is employed based on the results of the Chow and Hausman tests, indicating its suitability for capturing country-specific characteristics. The empirical findings reveal that corruption exerts a negative but statistically insignificant effect on economic growth, suggesting that its impact operates indirectly through inefficiencies in resource allocation and production processes. Meanwhile, the Human Development Index demonstrates a positive and statistically significant effect on economic growth, highlighting the crucial role of human capital investment in fostering sustainable economic performance. Constitutional quality shows a positive but insignificant relationship with economic growth, implying that institutional improvements alone may not be sufficient without effective enforcement and governance mechanisms. Overall, the results emphasize that enhancing human development remains the most effective strategy for accelerating economic growth in countries with relatively high levels of perceived corruption. These findings provide important policy implications for ASEAN governments in prioritizing human capital development alongside institutional reforms to achieve long-term economic growth.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the performance of Koppontren and innovation of Islamic boarding school products towards economic independence with entrepreneurial motivation as a mediating variable in Ngalah Pasuruan Islamic boarding school. This study uses a quantitative approach with the technique of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 98 students at Ngalah Pasuruan Islamic boarding school. The results of the study indicate that Koppontren performance and innovation of Islamic boarding school products have a positive and significant effect on economic independence. Furthermore, Koppontren Performance and innovation of Islamic boarding school products have a negative and insignificant effect on economic independence through entrepreneurial motivation as a mediating variable. This finding shows that the institutional performance of Koppontren and Islamic boarding school efforts in carrying out product innovation, both through product development, is unable to increase the economic independence of Islamic boarding schools if their influence is channeled through entrepreneurial motivation. This study contributes to empirical evidence in Islamic boarding school management and entrepreneurship, institutional economics, and Islamic boarding school-based social entrepreneurship.

Abstract

This study aims to explore sustainable Gayo coffee pricing and branding strategies in the digital marketplace ecosystem, and analyze how these strategies influence consumer perceptions of value, trust, and purchase intention. This study starts from the hypothesis that integrating sustainability values ​​into pricing and branding strategies can increase the competitiveness of Gayo coffee in the digital market. The study used a qualitative approach with an exploratory case study design. The research subjects included Gayo coffee MSMEs that actively market their products through national marketplaces in the Central Aceh region. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with business owners, observations of digital marketplace storefronts, and analysis of branding content and pricing information. Data analysis was conducted using thematic analysis to identify patterns of pricing strategies, branding narratives, and sustainability practices communicated to consumers. The results show that Gayo coffee pricing strategies tend to use a value-based pricing approach linked to product quality, certification, and sustainability stories. Meanwhile, branding focuses on narratives of origin, local wisdom, and environmentally friendly practices. However, the integration of sustainable pricing and branding strategies has not been carried out consistently and optimally across all MSMEs. The findings of this study provide practical implications for Gayo coffee MSMEs in designing more integrated and sustainability-oriented pricing and branding strategies in digital marketplaces. Policy-wise, the results can serve as a reference for stakeholders in developing a sustainable coffee marketing ecosystem. Further research is recommended to develop a quantitative model and test the impact of this strategy on sales performance and consumer loyalty.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the influence of love of money and situational pressure on deprivation, with self-control as a moderating variable. This study used a quantitative approach with a survey method through the distribution of questionnaires to purposively selected respondents. The sample in this study consisted of 40 respondents in 20 regional government agencies (OPD) of the Maluku Provincial Government. Data analysis used multiple linear regression analysis and moderated regression analysis (MRA). Based on the results of multiple linear regression tests and moderation analysis in this study, a deep understanding was obtained regarding the relationship between the variables of love of money , situational pressure, self-control , and fraudulent acts in ASN in the Maluku Provincial Government. Partially, the love of money variable showed an insignificant effect on fraudulent acts, with a regression coefficient of -0.133 and a significance value of 0.244 (p > 0.05). Meanwhile, the results of testing the situational pressure variable showed a significant effect on fraudulent acts, with a regression coefficient of -0.441 and a significance value of 0.026 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, testing the role of self-control as a moderating variable showed that self-control significantly moderated the relationship between love of money and fraudulent acts, but did not significantly moderate the relationship between situational pressure and fraudulent acts. The interaction coefficient value between love of money and self-control was -0.243 with a significance value of 0.004, indicating that self-control was able to weaken the negative influence of love of money on fraudulent acts.

Abstract

The rapid development of social commerce on TikTok has changed consumer purchasing behavior in Indonesia, but the mediating role of customer engagement between video information quality, perceived authenticity, and purchase intention remains underexplored, especially for premium sneaker brands like Kick Avenue. This study aims to analyze the mediating effect of customer engagement on the influence of Video Information Quality (VIQ) and Perceived Authenticity (PA) on Purchase Intention (PI). Using an explanatory quantitative design with a cross-sectional online survey (n=240 purposive samples of TikTok users aged ≥17 who viewed Kick Avenue content), data were collected through a 20-item Likert-4 scale questionnaire adapted from validated sources and analyzed with SEM-PLS on SmartPLS 4.0. The results showed significant direct effects (VIQ→PI β=0.386; PA→PI β=0.450; CE→PI β=0.394, all p<0.001) and partial mediation (VIQ→CE→PI β=0.174; PA→CE→PI β=0.107, p<0.001), explaining 69.2% of the variance in CE and 41.8% of the variance in PI (Q²=0.821). In conclusion, quality and authentic video content drives engagement to increase purchase intention, providing guidance for TikTok strategies for retailers.

Abstract

This study aims to systematically examine the role of village fund governance and administrative capacity in shaping community empowerment outcomes. Grounded in public administration, fiscal decentralization, and participatory governance perspectives, this review synthesizes peer-reviewed articles published between 2021 and 2025 and indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, and nationally accredited Indonesian journals (SINTA). To ensure the relevance and feasibility of the study, a bibliometric analysis was conducted using Harzing’s Publish or Perish and VOSviewer to map publication trends, thematic clusters, and the conceptual evolution of research on village funding, governance, and empowerment. The findings indicate that the effectiveness of village funds is strongly mediated by governance quality particularly transparency, accountability, participation, and effectiveness as well as by multidimensional administrative capacity encompassing financial management, human resources, institutional arrangements, and risk management. Empirical evidence consistently demonstrates that well-governed village funds contribute positively to economic self-reliance, social inclusion, and citizen participation. Nevertheless, limited administrative capacity and weak institutional coordination remain significant challenges to achieving sustainable community empowerment.
