Abstract

This study examines the relationship between ESG index return and macroeconomic factors in six emerging markets (Indonesia, Brazil, China, Mexico, South Africa, and India). Previous study has shown that the impact of macroeconomic variables on stock/index returns differs according to the country's economic structure and condition. The primary motivation for this study is the growing trend of ESG investment and the contradictory findings of the macroeconomic component influence on stock return. This study utilizes Panel Data Regression to investigate the association between macroeconomic variables and ESG index returns over a five-year period. This analysis reveals that inflation and Gross Domestic Product (GDP) have a positive significant influence on the ESG index return, however, interest rate and foreign exchange rate are not statistically significant. These findings provide useful insight to many stakeholders, including investors, policymakers, and financial experts, on how to develop investment strategies and economic policies to reap economic benefits such as better investment and improved ESG framework implementation in organizations.

Abstract

This study aims to provide empirical evidence on the factors influencing the hybrid workplace model from the employer's perspective, as well as the intention of adopting hybrid work as the future of work to enhance performance. The theoretical framework combines the Theory of Performance and Development as a reference for the study. This is a quantitative research study that employs purposive sampling, selecting participants based on specific criteria. Data collection was conducted through a survey method using questionnaires distributed to 170 respondents. The analysis was performed using the SmartPLS 4.0 software.The empirical results show a strong correlation between work engagement and employee performance, with the integration of mediating factors. The findings indicate that better acceptance of the benefits of hybrid work and work-life balance by employees contributes to improved employee performance. Furthermore, evidence suggests that the path coefficient of hybrid work has the most dominant role in influencing employee performance and work engagement, particularly among Generation Z. This indicates that Generation Z possesses a forward-thinking approach to self-quality, enabling them to align their interests with their efforts to maintain their work quality.

Abstract

This study seeks to examine the correlation between governance, service quality, and patient satisfaction at Tabanan III and Kerambitan II Community Health Centers (Puskesmas) in Tabanan Regency, Bali. Effective governance of Puskesmas, which includes planning, implementation, supervision, and evaluation, is pivotal in determining healthcare service quality. Service quality is assessed through dimensions such as timeliness, facility reliability, staff demeanor, and service accessibility, while patient satisfaction indicates the congruence between expectations and actual experiences with healthcare services. This research utilizes a quantitative methodology employing Partial Least Squares (PLS) and includes medical personnel and patients as participants. The results indicate that governance at Tabanan III and Kerambitan II Puskesmas positively affects both service quality and patient satisfaction. Additionally, healthcare service quality significantly influences. A significant discovery is that service quality mediates the relationship between governance and patient satisfaction, underscoring the critical role of good governance in improving overall healthcare service quality. This study underscores the necessity for enhanced focus on the execution of governance in accordance with Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and ongoing accreditation, as stipulated by Ministry of Health Regulation No. 34 of 2022. The results are anticipated to provide a basis for developing initiatives to strengthen governance and elevate service quality at Puskesmas, both in Tabanan Regency and in other locations with analogous issues. As a result, this study helps significantly to the creation of more effective primary healthcare services aimed at increasing community satisfaction.

Abstract

Unemployment is a major issue in Indonesia. This occurs because Indonesia is a country with a relatively high population growth rate, which affects the competition for job opportunities. One of the strategies considered effective in addressing unemployment is to create or increase the number of entrepreneurs. This study aims to determine the direct and indirect effects of social capital, managerial skills, technology literacy, and entrepreneurial motivation on entrepreneurial interest. The sampling technique used is Proportional Random Sampling, with a total of 100 students from the Faculty of Economics and Business Universitas Negeri Makassar. The results indicate that both directly and indirectly, social capital, managerial skills, technology literacy, and entrepreneurial motivation significantly influence entrepreneurial interest. Based on the findings of this study, it can serve as a source of information or a reference for educators or lecturers to guide and assist students in developing entrepreneurial skills. Students are encouraged to deepen their skills related to business management, not only focusing on the products produced but also being capable of conducting marketing activities and making decisions regarding business evaluation with the aim of developing their businesses. Furthermore, future researchers are encouraged to deepen and expand this research in terms of variables and research method development.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the influence of employee training and competence on performance, both directly and through the role of work discipline as a mediating variable. This study is based on the problem of employee performance which has not met the expected target, characterized by a lack of work discipline and low efficiency in completing tasks. This study involved 56 respondents and used a quantitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through questionnaires, and analysis was carried out using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) with the WarpPLS program. The results showed that training had an effect on employee work discipline and performance. Employee competence also had an effect on employee work discipline and performance. Work discipline as a mediating variable showed an indirect effect on performance, although its contribution was smaller than the direct effect of employee training and competence. The total effect of training on performance was 0.745, while the total effect of competence was 0.372. The implication of this study is the importance of organizations to improve relevant and sustainable training and develop employee competence development programs. Work discipline also needs to be strengthened through policies that encourage an organized work culture, such as providing incentives and effective supervision. With this strategy, it is expected that employee performance can be improved and organizational targets can be achieved optimally.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of specific financial variables on the performance of banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from financial reports and annual reports of listed banks over a five-year period from 2019 to 2023. These data were sourced from the official website of the Indonesia Stock Exchange and individual bank websites. The analysis was conducted using regression analysis with the assistance of EViews 12 software. The results indicate that Capital Adequacy (CA) significantly affects Return on Assets (ROA) based on the Fixed Effect Model (FEM), Chow Test, and Random Effect Model (REM) analysis. The statistical tests confirm that variations in CA contribute to differences in bank performance, emphasizing the critical role of capital adequacy in determining profitability. The findings of this study suggest that capital adequacy is a key determinant of bank performance, highlighting its importance in maintaining financial stability and operational efficiency. Understanding the impact of financial variables on performance can help stakeholders assess the financial health of banks and make informed decision.

Abstract

This meta-analysis examines the potential of digital transformation in reducing government corruption by synthesizing findings from 17 empirical studies published in the last five years. Using the PRISMA protocol, a comprehensive literature search was conducted, and studies were screened for eligibility. The meta-analysis revealed a substantial negative correlation between corruption and digitalization/e-government, with an overall effect size of -0.93 (95% CI: -1.18 to -0.68) based on the Random Effects Model. The results suggest that higher levels of digital transformation are associated with lower levels of corruption. However, the study also highlights the complex and context-dependent nature of this relationship, as cultural, economic, and institutional factors can moderate the impact of digitalization on corruption. The findings underscore the importance of investing in digital infrastructure, promoting digital literacy, and fostering ethical governance practices to effectively combat corruption through digital transformation.
