Abstract

This study examines the impact of digital transformation on ESG performance, with green innovation as a moderating variable, focusing on manufacturing companies in Indonesia. Digital transformation is considered a strategic initiative that not only enhances operational efficiency but also supports environmental sustainability and social responsibility. Using a quantitative approach, the study analyzes secondary data from annual reports of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The results indicate that digital transformation has a positive and significant impact on ESG performance, and green innovation has been shown to strengthen this effect. These findings suggest that adopting digital technologies can enhance a company’s competitiveness by improving its sustainability performance. The study highlights the importance of integrating digital strategies with environmental goals to strengthen long-term business value. Companies are encouraged to adopt digital tools not only for efficiency but also as part of their commitment to sustainable development. The findings also open avenues for further research opportunities, particularly in exploring other mediating or moderating variables, combining several industries or employing mixed methods—such as interviews or case studies which could provide deeper insights into how digital transformation and green innovation are practiced in the field.

Abstract

This study investigates how Pokok Pikiran (pokir) fund, Indonesia’s aspiration fund scheme, is understood and practised in Aceh’s provincial budgeting process. Adopting an interpretive qualitative case study, the research draws on semi-structured interviews with members of parliament, executive budget officials, and civil society actors, complemented by analysis of media reports. The data were thematically coded to capture how different stakeholders justify, contest, and negotiate the role of pokir. The findings show that pokir is narrated in multiple and sometimes contradictory ways: as a legal mandate, as a channel for representing community aspirations, and as a bargaining instrument embedded in budget politics. While defended as a mechanism of responsiveness, its implementation often results in project personalisation, delays, and blurred boundaries between legislative and executive responsibilities. This study argues discretionary allocations such as pokir should not be seen simply as indication of weak governance. Rather, they reflect the fragility of accountability infrastructures, where limited transparency, weak monitoring, and institutionalised political practices allow the continued contestation of the scheme to persist. Addressing pokir therefore requires strengthening the broader accountability system. this research highlights the need for reforms that not only enhance monitoring and transparency, but also address the informal bargaining practices that shape allocations such as pokir.. For academics, this study contributes to public sector accounting by budgeting operates as a social practice where narratives of responsibility are performed and strategically used in political bargaining.

There are still many problems within the company due to poor governance.
