Abstract

This study investigates the supply chain efficiency of rice commodities in Indramayu Regency and its implications for improving farmers' profit margins. Indramayu Regency is one of Indonesia's principal rice-producing regions, yet farmers continue to receive disproportionately low returns due to inefficiencies across the supply chain, including excessive intermediary layers, high post-harvest losses, and weak market integration. This study employs a quantitative approach using survey data from 120 rice farmers and 45 supply chain actors selected through stratified random sampling. Data were collected between January and June 2024. Analytical methods include marketing margin analysis, farmer's share analysis, Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) efficiency scoring, and multiple regression to identify determinants of profit margin. The results show that farmers retain only 42.6% of the final consumer price (Channel III), compared to 68.4% in the shortest marketing channel (Channel I). Supply chain efficiency scores averaged 0.73 across all actors, with rice millers recording the highest efficiency (0.87) and farmers the lowest (0.61). Regression analysis confirms that channel choice, access to milling technology, and cooperative membership significantly improve profit margins. The findings suggest that policy interventions focused on reducing intermediary dependency, strengthening farmer cooperatives, and investing in post-harvest infrastructure can substantially increase rice farmers' income in Indramayu Regency.

Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of very low leverage (VLL) among publicly listed non-financial firms in Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. The study evaluates whether family ownership and firm-level financial fundamentals shape firms' decisions to maintain extremely low debt levels. An unbalanced panel of 10,160 firm-year observations from 2015 to 2024 is analysed using the two-step System GMM estimator to address endogeneity, dynamic persistence and unobserved heterogeneity. Key explanatory variables include family ownership, profitability, liquidity and operating cash flow, with alternative leverage thresholds used for validation. Results show that capital structure persistence is the strongest predictor of VLL, with firms maintaining a 55 to 57% likelihood of staying in VLL positions across periods. Family ownership does not significantly influence VLL behaviour, challenging agency- and socioemotional wealth-based expectations. Financial fundamentals only matter in Malaysia; their effects disappear in Indonesia and Singapore once dynamic endogeneity is controlled. The findings reveal that several relationships identified in static models are artefacts of endogeneity bias. The strong persistence of VLL suggests that initial financing decisions have long-term effects, highlighting the need for continuous capital structure reassessment. Policymakers should consider institutional differences: Malaysia's relationship-based banking environment reinforces reliance on internal liquidity, while Indonesia requires stronger market infrastructure and creditor protections. Investors should interpret low leverage cautiously, as it may reflect historical path dependence rather than current firm performance. This study provides one of the first comparative dynamic-panel analyses of VLL behaviour in ASEAN markets using System GMM. It advances the capital structure literature by demonstrating that persistence dominates firm fundamentals and that family ownership does not determine extreme leverage choices. The study also clarifies methodological distortions found in static capital structure research

Abstract

Although servant leadership (SELE) has been understudied, especially in the public sector, it has been a popular topic in contemporary leadership theories and has been linked to outcomes like job satisfaction (JOSA) and organizational commitment (ORCO). Given its importance, this study was to ascertain if official JOSA and ORCO were predicted by government official perceptions of SELE, and whether ORCO moderated the relationship between SELE and JOSA. This study used a correlational research design. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data from 224 government officials from various departments both in leadership and non-leadership roles. The Servant Leadership Seven, the Organizational Commitment Questionnaire, and the Abridged Job Descriptive Index were among the online surveys used to gather data for the study. Multiple regression to examine moderation effects, an independent-samples t-test, and Pearson correlations were among the statistical methods used. The findings showed a correlation between higher levels of ORCO and JOSA among government officials and higher perceptions of SELE. There was a significant positive correlation found between department leader JOSA, top management, and SELE, indicating that SELE is linked to government official attitudes at several organizational levels. The results also revealed that managerial self-ratings of SELE differed significantly from non-managerial ratings, with leaders giving their leadership behaviors higher ratings than officials. While organizational commitment and servant leadership both strongly predicted job satisfaction, the moderation analysis revealed that ORCO did not moderate the connection between SELE and JOSA. The findings imply that staff morale and institutional loyalty are positively impacted by SELE. The results emphasize how crucial SELE is in influencing official attitudes in government organization settings and imply that its beneficial effects hold true for all government official roles.

Abstract

The study examines the structural sensitivity and predictive performance of the Single Exponential Smoothing (SES) model when applied to varying temporal aggregation levels of the Indonesian stock market index. This study employs time-series data of the Jakarta Composite Index (JCI / IHSG) spanning from January 2, 2020, to May 31, 2025, which are structurally categorized into three distinct frequency domains: daily observations, weekly aggregated averages, and monthly aggregated averages. Methodologically, the optimal smoothing parameter (?) for each aggregation tier is determined through maximum likelihood estimation by minimizing the Mean Absolute Percentage Error (MAPE). The results reveal an extreme structural behavior where the optimal ? approaches its upper asymptotic boundary across all temporal frameworks, specifically 0.9943 for daily data, 0.9999 for weekly data, and 0.9999 for monthly data. Concurrently, the predictive error amplifies systematically as the aggregation window widens, yielding MAPE values of 0.74%, 1.30%, and 2.88% for daily, weekly, and monthly frameworks, respectively. The findings of this study suggest that the JCI movement exhibits strong adherence to the random walk hypothesis, wherein the mathematical framework of SES reacts almost exclusively to the most recent historical innovation. Consequently, temporal aggregation does not induce a structural smoothing effect on parameter convergence but rather introduces informational attenuation that compromises short-term forecasting precision.

Abstract

Sustainable village development requires governance frameworks that mobilize diverse stakeholders across state, market, civil society, and community spheres. This study investigates collaborative governance in multi-stakeholder partnerships for sustainable village development in Indonesia, focusing on how coordination mechanisms, power relations, and institutional arrangements shape development outcomes. Employing a qualitative design, data were gathered through in-depth interviews, FGDs, observation, and document analysis across three villages in West Java Province. Findings reveal that effective collaborative governance is characterized by inclusive deliberation, transparent resource management, and adaptive inter-organizational coordination. However, elite capture, information asymmetry, fragmented institutional mandates, and uneven stakeholder participation continue to impede transformative partnerships. Drawing on collaborative governance theory, symbiosis theory, and institutional commons theory, this study proposes a Governance Integration Model (GIM) that operationalizes participation, transparency, accountability, collaboration, and sustainability.

Abstract

Purpose– This study aims to develop and evaluate a school-based bullying prevention model integrating religious moderation principles to enhance adolescents’ understanding of bullying behavior within a Philippine secondary school context. Design/methods/approach – A quasi-experimental pre-test–post-test control group design was employed involving 74 tenth-grade students divided into experimental (n = 37) and control (n = 37) groups using purposive sampling. The intervention consisted of a two-day structured psychoeducational program integrating values of tolerance, empathy, and moral responsibility. Data were analyzed using Shapiro–Wilk normality testing followed by Wilcoxon signed-rank and Mann–Whitney U tests. Findings– The experimental group demonstrated a statistically significant increase in bullying understanding scores from pre-test to post-test compared to the control group (p < .05). Gain score comparisons further indicated that the intervention contributed to measurable improvement in students’ cognitive awareness of bullying behavior. Research implications/limitations– The study is limited to one school context and employs purposive sampling, restricting broader generalization. Future research should test the model across multiple schools and cultural settings and examine behavioral outcomes beyond cognitive understanding. Originality/value-This study offers a theoretically grounded and context-specific bullying prevention framework integrating religious moderation within moral regulation and social-ecological perspectives.

Abstract

Environmental cleanliness in densely populated coastal areas remains a critical issue, influenced not only by infrastructure but also by human behavior. This study examines the role of wayfinding and signage design in promoting environmental cleanliness in Makassar City. A quantitative approach was conducted through a survey of 174 respondents across four coastal locations in Makassar, Indonesia. The study measured environmental cleanliness, navigation and orientation, signage effectiveness, and design preference, and applied MANOVA and ANOVA to analyze differences across locations. The findings reveal that while navigation is generally adequate and signage is perceived as effective and visually appealing, environmental cleanliness remains low, indicating a gap between awareness and behavior. Significant differences were found in cleanliness, signage effectiveness, and design preference, but not in navigation. Based on these findings, the study proposes a design framework that enhances signage as a behavior-oriented communication system. This research highlights the importance of combining data-driven insights and design of wayfinding and signage to promote sustainable environmental behavior in coastal urban environments.

Abstract

Indonesia's decentralization reforms—anchored in Law No. 22/1999, Law No. 32/2004, and the landmark Village Law No. 6/2014—represent one of the most ambitious local-governance transformations in Southeast Asia. Yet a persistent gap exists between the aspirations inscribed in these policies and their lived realities in village political institutions. This qualitative study examines how decentralization policies reshape village political institutions across three dimensions: structural transformation of village governance bodies, redistribution of authority between central and local government, and participatory practices within village deliberation forums. Drawing on in-depth interviews, focus-group discussions, and documentary analysis across twelve purposively selected villages in Java and Sulawesi, the study reveals that while formal institutional structures have been significantly redesigned, substantive autonomy remains constrained by regulatory centralism, fiscal dependency, and weak local capacity. Village Representative Councils (BPD) function more as rubber-stamp bodies than genuine deliberative organs. Village funds (Dana Desa) have expanded development budgets but simultaneously introduced new accountability burdens that reproduce central oversight. The findings advance a "constrained institutionalism" framework that explains how macro-level policy innovations are filtered, diluted, and locally negotiated before taking institutional form.

Abstract

Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is an essential skill that enables learners to independently plan, monitor, and evaluate their learning processes. Despite the availability of several SRL scales, valid and context-appropriate instruments tailored to the characteristics of gifted students in madrasah accelerated programs remain scarce. This study aims to examine the validity of a Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) instrument adapted specifically for gifted students enrolled in accelerated programs within Indonesian madrasahs. The research utilizes an adapted version of the Erdogan SRL Scale, integrating components from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) and the Self-Regulatory Learning Interview Schedule (SRLIS). A total of 361 gifted students from various regions in Indonesia participated. Data were analyzed using the Rasch model assisted by R software to evaluate item fit, reliability, and threshold performance. A total of 67 items were confirmed to meet the Rasch model eligibility criteria, with no indications of overfit or misfit. Reliability values for both items and participants were within acceptable ranges. However, several items showed suboptimal thresholds and were recommended for revision to enhance clarity and discriminatory power. The adapted SSRL instrument is valid for measuring the SRL abilities of gifted students in madrasah accelerated programs. The findings support its use in educational assessment and intervention design, offering educators a reliable tool to better understand and strengthen self-regulatory learning skills among gifted learners.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the impact of financial performance and firm size on stock prices, with dividend policy as a moderating variable, among conventional banking firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2018–2024 period. Employing a quantitative research design, the study utilizes secondary data collected from the annual reports and financial statements of banking firms. The sample was determined through purposive sampling, resulting in 77 firm-year observations. Panel data regression was applied to test the proposed relationships. The results indicate that ROE has a positive and significant effect on stock prices, suggesting that higher corporate profitability leads to greater investor confidence and higher market value. Conversely, firm size does not have a significant effect on stock prices, suggesting that firm scale alone is insufficient to influence investors’ investment decisions. Additionally, the DPR was found to moderate the effect of ROE on stock prices but failed to moderate the effect of firm size on stock prices. These findings suggest that banking sector investors place greater emphasis on a company’s ability to generate profits and the consistency of its dividend payouts compared to company size when assessing investment prospects. The study’s results support Signaling Theory, which asserts that profitability and dividend policy serve as relevant signals in stock price formation.
