Abstract

This research aims to develop two model-drawing methods based on students’ levels of competency, guided by a psychological approach to working memory. The study adopts a qualitative method with a case study design. Observations were carried out by analyzing six samples of model drawings produced by students in the Visual Arts Education program, Faculty of Art and Design. The drawings were categorized into two levels, expert and novice, based on students’ performance in proportion, coloring, and detail. The findings show that (1) three students belong to the expert level, producing highly impressive model drawings whose proportions, coloring, and details are close to perfection; (2) three students fall into the novice level, with their proportions, coloring, and object forms still at a minimal or below-standard quality; and (3) one commonly used method is found to be unsuitable for all learners. Therefore, this research proposes two model-drawing methods according to students’ competency levels: the Golden Ratio technique for expert-level students and a proportion-and-shape-based technique for novice learners.

Abstract

This research aims to compare the geometric patterns in Passura Toraya and Escher’s Tessalation. The study examines Toraja ornaments created 5.000 years ago from a geometric perspective that is similar to the approach of well-known geometric artist, M. Escher. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative method by collecting data from literature studies and visual observations of Passura Toraya, which are then analyzed using geometrical pattern and basic mathematic shapes. The results of the study show that (1) triangle, square, pentagon, flora, and fauna shapes represent geometric forms with similar tessellation techniques in both Passura Toraya and M.C. Escher's geometric patterns; (2) Passura Toraya has repeated patterns in opposite directions and four sides, as well as 4-fold designs, similar to M.C. Escher's tessellated geometric patterns with the same size as the empty field and 3-fold repetition levels; (3) contrasting colors are characteristic of Passura Toraya, similar to M.C. Escher's designs. Passura Toraya, which was made approximately thousands of years ago, shows the same approach as geometric artist, M. Escher. This demonstrates that Passura Toraya was made with a high level of knowledge, despite being made approximately 5.000 years ago.

Abstract

Many Nigerian oil and gas firms struggle with managing creditors, debtors, and inventory efficiently. These challenges limit cash flow, reduce profitability, and constrain growth. As a result, entrepreneurial success in these firms is often hindered by poor operational liquidity management. Hence, this study examined the effect of paying creditors, collecting debts, and managing inventory on entrepreneurial success (proxy by return on sales) in Nigerian oil and gas firms. An ex-post facto research design was adopted, covering the period from 2012 to 2024. The population consisted of eight listed oil and gas firms, with six selected for the study through purposive sampling. Secondary data were collected from the annual reports of the selected firms, and hypotheses were tested using a fixed effects panel regression model with Cross-section seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) standard errors to correct for heteroskedasticity. The findings revealed that: Days Inventory Outstanding has a negative and significant effect on entrepreneurial success (? = -0.616, p = 0.0213); Days Receivable Outstanding has a positive and significant effect on entrepreneurial success (? = 0.005534, p = 0.0000); Days Payable Outstanding has a negative but insignificant effect on entrepreneurial success (? = -0.002935, p = 0.8554). In conclusion, efficient inventory control is essential because holding excessive stock ties up capital that could support productive activities, while effective management of receivables enhances profitability by maintaining balanced credit policies and ensuring timely collections to improve cash flow and sustain operations. The study recommended that operations managers in Nigerian oil and gas firms should reduce the time inventory is held by implementing efficient inventory management systems, optimizing stock levels, and improving turnover to enhance profitability.

Abstract

This study investigates the application of the Least Squares method for production budget planning at CV. Amirah Ramadhani Cemara Kora, Makassar. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach, the research analyzes sales data from January to December 2024, beginning inventory data for January 2025, and 2024 production reports, substantiated by interview data. The findings indicate that the Least Squares method yields significantly more accurate and structured production forecasts compared to the company's previous conventional methods. Analysis using the trend equation Y = a + bX reveals a consistent upward trend from January to December 2025, thereby mitigating risks associated with overstocking or stockouts. The projected 2025 production budget estimates a total output of 6,808 short-sleeve shirts and 6,466 long-sleeve shirts. The total estimated production cost is IDR 749,205,900, comprising IDR 463,920,000 for raw materials, IDR 66,830,000 for direct labor, and IDR 218,455,900 for factory overhead. This approach enables the company to optimize raw material and labor allocation based on predictive trends, effectively preventing production inefficiencies such as the overproduction observed in April 2024. Conclusively, the implementation of the Least Squares method allows CV. Amirah Ramadhani Cemara to enhance operational efficiency, streamline resource management, and facilitate strategic data-driven decision-making.

Abstract

This study examines the determinants of regional economic performance with a particular focus on the roles of democracy and investment as key drivers of economic development in South Sulawesi. Using panel data from 24 districts and municipalities over the 2021–2023 period, this research analyzes how variations in political governance, investment flows, and structural economic characteristics shape regional growth outcomes. The study employs a panel regression approach comparing Pooled OLS, Fixed Effects, and Random Effects models to obtain consistent estimations and identify the most appropriate specification for explaining regional economic dynamics. The analysis highlights the conceptual significance of democracy as an institutional foundation that influences policy effectiveness, government accountability, and stability, all of which contribute to a conducive environment for economic activity. Investment is also positioned as a critical economic instrument that supports productivity, technological diffusion, and industrial upgrading. The findings indicate that the relationship between democracy, investment, and regional economic performance is not uniform across regions, reflecting differences in institutional capacity, labor quality, and industrial structure. Furthermore, the results emphasize that democratic governance and investment inflows operate as complementary forces: improvements in democratic quality can strengthen investor confidence, while investment outcomes can reinforce governance legitimacy by generating economic benefits. This study provides theoretical and empirical insights into how these variables interact in shaping regional development trajectories. The implications of this research underscore the need for region-specific strategies that integrate institutional strengthening, targeted investment policies, and human capital development to achieve sustainable and equitable economic growth.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of digital marketing capability and product innovation capability on sales performance among Indonesian micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in the digital economy era. Using a quantitative, explanatory design, data were collected through a structured survey of MSME owners/managers and analyzed using ordinary least squares (OLS) regression in EViews. Sales performance was operationalized as a sales-oriented metric suitable for econometric estimation, while digital marketing and product innovation were measured as composite indices derived from Likert-scale items capturing routine execution and renewal intensity. Classical assumption diagnostics were conducted to support valid inference, including residual normality, heteroskedasticity, and multicollinearity checks; where needed, White robust standard errors were applied to address heteroskedasticity. The results demonstrate that both digital marketing capability and product innovation capability have positive and statistically significant relationships with MSME sales performance. Digital marketing capability shows a slightly stronger estimated effect, indicating that consistent digital routines—such as channel orchestration, content discipline, responsive customer interaction, and basic performance monitoring—are closely linked to improved sales outcomes. Product innovation capability also contributes significantly, suggesting that continuous renewal through quality improvement, new variants, and packaging/design enhancements strengthens differentiation and supports sales growth. The findings imply that MSME competitiveness in digital markets is best supported by integrating market-facing execution (digital marketing) with value reinforcement (product innovation), rather than relying on platform adoption alone. Practically, MSMEs should institutionalize measurable digital marketing processes while embedding structured innovation cycles that convert market feedback into product renewal. Policymakers and support institutions should prioritize capability-building programs tied to measurable performance outcomes. Future research may extend this model using longitudinal data and sector-specific moderators to capture delayed innovation effects and sustainability of sales gains. Keywords: digital marketing capability; product innovation capability; sales performance; MSMEs; digital economy; Indonesia.

Abstract

AbstractPurpose: This study examines how Job Stress (X1) and Perceived Organizational Support (POS) (X2) influence Turnover Intention (Y) among Generation Z employees in digital startups in Makassar, Indonesia. Design/methodology/approach: Using a cross-sectional quantitative design, data were collected through a structured Likert-scale questionnaire from Gen Z employees (minimum tenure: six months) working in Makassar-based digital startups. Measurement quality was assessed via item validity and Cronbach’s alpha reliability tests, followed by regression assumption checks (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, and linearity). Hypotheses were tested using multiple linear regression. Findings: Job stress has a positive and significant effect on turnover intention, indicating that rising work pressure in fast-paced startup settings (deadline intensity, shifting priorities, and always-on digital demands) increases employees’ propensity to consider leaving. POS has a negative and significant effect on turnover intention, suggesting that perceived appreciation, supervisor responsiveness, and access to resources reduce quitting intentions. Jointly, X1 and X2 explain a substantial portion of variance in turnover intention, implying that support can buffer stress but cannot fully offset chronic overload. Originality/value: This study extends turnover intention evidence to Makassar’s digital startup ecosystem and clarifies the dual levers of stress management and organizational support for Gen Z retention. It offers context-specific insights for emerging Indonesian tech hubs where HR practices are maturing and Gen Z mobility and wellbeing expectations are especially salient. Practical implications: Startups should strengthen workload governance, role clarity, healthy communication boundaries, structured onboarding for fit, and visible support practices (coaching, recognition, fair workload allocation, and timely resources) to reduce quitting intentions. Keywords: Job Stress, Perceived Organizational Support, Turnover Intention, Generation Z, Digital Startups.

Abstract

This study examines how digital infrastructure development influences regional economic growth in Indonesia by explicitly accounting for spatial interdependence among provinces. Using a balanced panel of 34 provinces over 2015–2021 (238 observations), digital infrastructure is proxied by the proportion of individuals using the internet, while economic growth is measured as real GRDP per capita growth. Global Moran’s I indicates spatial clustering in both growth and digital connectivity, motivating a spatial econometric framework. The main specification estimates a Spatial Durbin Model (SDM) with province and year fixed effects and a row-standardized k-nearest neighbors spatial weights matrix (k=5) to capture outcome dependence and covariate spillovers. Results show that digital infrastructure has a positive and statistically significant direct effect on provincial growth, and it also produces a positive indirect effect, implying measurable spillovers to neighboring provinces. Decomposition into direct, indirect, and total impacts reveals that accounting for spatial feedback increases the estimated overall contribution of digital infrastructure relative to non-spatial interpretations. Robustness checks using alternative neighborhood definitions and alternative digital access proxies confirm the stability of the main findings, while a lagged specification suggests the relationship is not driven solely by contemporaneous reverse causality. The evidence implies that digital infrastructure is a network-type investment whose returns extend beyond administrative borders. Policy efforts should therefore combine connectivity expansion with coordinated regional planning and complementary measures—such as digital skills and MSME adoption support—to maximize growth benefits and reduce interregional digital gaps. These insights contribute to spatial growth literature by documenting Indonesia’s digital spillovers during adoption.Keywords: Digital Infrastructure, Regional Economic Growth, Spatial Econometrics, Spatial Durbin Model (SDM), Spatial Spillover Effects.

Abstract

Islamic financial literacy is a crucial foundation for promoting inclusive and equitable economic growth, particularly in Eastern Indonesia, including Papua. Low literacy levels, limited access to Islamic financial institutions, and insufficient understanding of Islamic economic principles present significant challenges for developing a robust Sharia-based financial system in the region. This study aims to analyze the current state of Islamic financial literacy in Papua, identify development opportunities, and evaluate challenges from social, cultural, infrastructural, and institutional perspectives. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, reviewing literature, reports from the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Bank Indonesia, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), and relevant academic studies. The analysis focused on socio-cultural, economic, institutional, and digital technology aspects. The results indicate that Islamic financial literacy in Papua remains low, especially in remote areas, but significant opportunities exist through digitalization, strengthening local financial institutions, leveraging educational institutions, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. Community-based approaches that integrate local wisdom, such as the values of mutual cooperation and deliberation, are effective in increasing understanding and acceptance of Sharia financial principles. In conclusion, enhancing Islamic financial literacy in Papua not only improves financial inclusion but also fosters an ethical, sustainable, and equitable economic ecosystem, supporting socio-economic transformation based on Islamic values.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of sustainable project management practices on the success of renewable energy projects in Indonesia, placing stakeholder engagement and green risk management as explanatory factors that reinforce the stability of project implementation. The approach used is an explanatory quantitative method with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire survey of renewable energy project practitioners in Indonesia who were directly involved in project planning, execution, and control. Instrument testing showed that all constructs met the criteria for validity and reliability, making them suitable for inferential analysis. The analysis was performed using multiple linear regression after the classical assumption tests were satisfied. The results indicate that sustainable project management practices have a significant positive effect on project success and are the strongest predictor compared to other variables. Furthermore, stakeholder engagement and green risk management were also found to have significant positive effects on project success, indicating that multi-actor coordination and the mitigation of regulatory social environmental risks are key to keeping projects on track with regard to cost, time, quality, and public acceptance. These findings affirm that improving renewable energy project performance should not focus solely on technical aspects but requires strengthening sustainability governance, structured engagement strategies, and adaptive risk management systems.
