Findings: Financial technology enhances financial management outcomes when accompanied by adequate financial literacy, reducing the risk of impulsive financial behavior. Originality: The originality of this study lies in its empirical evidence from accounting students, highlighting the complementary role of fintech and financial literacy in digital financial behavior.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of capital structure, liquidity, and earnings per share (EPS) on the profitability of gold mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). The research is important due to the financial volatility faced by the gold mining industry and the limited number of studies focused on this sector in Indonesia. Methodology: A quantitative associative approach was applied using panel data from eight purposively selected gold mining companies during 2020–2024, with 40 observations. Results: Capital structure, liquidity, and EPS simultaneously have a significant effect on profitability. Partially, only capital structure and EPS significantly influence profitability, while liquidity does not. Findings: Efficient capital structure management and consistent EPS growth are key drivers of profitability. Liquidity, however, is not a direct determinant of profit generation in the observed companies. Novelty: This research specifically focuses on gold mining companies in Indonesia, using updated data and a comprehensive panel regression approach. Originality: The study offers new insights into the financial determinants of profitability in the mining sector, emphasizing the role of EPS and capital structure. Conclusion: Effective use of capital and maximizing EPS are essential to improve profitability, while liquidity alone is not a reliable predictor. Type of Paper: Research article

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the effect of Human Resource Accounting (HRA), proxied by employee training costs, salary costs, and pension costs, on financial performance, proxied by Return on Assets (ROA), in healthcare companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2018 to 2023. Methodology: A quantitative approach with purposive sampling resulted in a final sample of 8 companies. Data were obtained through secondary documentation and analyzed using panel data regression with EViews 13. Results: The results show that employee salary costs have a significant positive effect on ROA (p < 0.05), while training and pension costs do not significantly impact financial performance (p > 0.05). Findings: The result underlines the strategic importance of competitive compensation, whereas the impact of training and pensions may be hindered by inconsistent implementation. Novelty: he study contributes new insights by applying panel data regression in the underexplored Indonesian healthcare sector and incorporating three HR cost indicators over a six-year period. Originality: This research uniquely focuses on post-pandemic financial performance in relation to HR cost efficiency in the healthcare sector. It also integrates Resource-Based Theory to interpret the strategic role of human capital in enhancing firm performance. Conclusion: Employee salary expenses significantly contribute to ROA, suggesting the importance of competitive compensation in improving financial outcomes. However, training and pension costs lack a direct and significant impact, implying that their effectiveness may depend on better alignment with corporate strategy and performance measurement systems. Future studies are encouraged to explore broader sectors and incorporate variables like HR accounting disclosure and wage dynamics. Type of Paper: Research Article.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aims to examine the impact of financial distress and transfer pricing on tax aggressiveness among property and real estate companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2021to 2023. Methodology: Using a quantitative approach, 32 companies were selected via purposive sampling. Tax aggressiveness was measured using ABTD, financial distress with the Altman Z-Score, and transfer pricing via the Related Party Transaction (RPT) ratio. Multiple linear regression was performed using SPSS. Results: The results indicate that financial distress signfificantly increase tax aggressiveness (β= 0,124, p<0,05), while transfer pricing has a negative but statiscally insignificant effect (β= -0,139, p>0,05). Findings: Firms under financial pressure tend to adopt more aggressive tax strategies. The use of transfer pricing does not directly influence tax behavior, posibly due to adherence to the arm’s length principle. Novelty & Originality: This research provides sector-specific empirical evidence of tax aggressiveness mechanisms in emerging economies, offering new insight into tax compliance behavior and signaling theory. Conclusion: Financial distress is a key determinant of aggressive tax practices. Policymakers sholud consider firm-specific conditions when designing tax regulations. Type of Paper: Quantitative empirical research.

Abstract

Purpose: This study analyzes the impact of Green Banking (GB), Sustainability Report (SR), and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) on financial performance, proxied by Return on Assets (ROA). It aims to confirm the influence of these variables, reconcile inconsistent prior findings, and explain profitability fluctuations within Indonesia's banking sector. Methodology: Focusing on conventional commercial banks listed in the Inisiatif Keuangan Berkelanjutan Indonesia (IKBI) from 2019 to 2023, secondary data (annual and sustainability reports) were obtained from company websites. A purposive sample comprising 50 observational units was selected. Data analysis employed the Structural Equation Model-Partial Least Square (SEM-PLS) method with SmartPLS 4 software.. Results: GB and SR disclosure does not significantly affect financial performance. ERM disclosure, conversely, significantly and positively influences it.. Findings: This suggests short-term sustainability practices are not fully reflected in financial outcomes. ERM's positive impact highlights its role in corporate financial stability. Novelty: This research uniquely contributes by addressing prior inconsistencies and elucidating profitability variations within Indonesia's banking sector. Originality: It offers a comprehensive analysis of Green Banking, Sustainability Report, and Enterprise Risk Management in the specific context of IKBI-listed banks, providing new perspectives on their financial impact. Conclusion: GB and SR disclosure shows no significant short-term financial impact. ERM is a positive and significant determinant of financial performance in Indonesian conventional commercial banks.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of Online Customer Rating on consumer purchasing decisions for Erigo products on the Shopee platform. Methodology: This research adopts a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents and analyzed using simple linear regression analysis. Results: The results indicate that Online Customer Rating has a negative and statistically significant effect on purchasing decisions, with a regression coefficient of −1.619 and a significance value of 0.000. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.787 shows that 78.7% of the variation in purchasing decisions is explained by online customer ratings. Novelty: This study provides empirical evidence of a negative influence of online ratings on purchasing decisions, which contrasts with the commonly assumed positive effect. Findings: The findings support the negative bias theory, indicating that consumers respond more strongly to negative or inconsistent rating information when making purchasing decisions. Originality: The originality of this study lies in its focus on a specific fashion brand within an Indonesian e-commerce platform, highlighting the critical role of rating credibility in digital marketplaces. Conclusions: Managing online customer ratings transparently and consistently is essential to maintain consumer trust and mitigate adverse effects on purchasing decisions.
