Abstract

Purpose: This study examines the moderating role of digital transformation on the effect of liquidity and operational efficiency on bank stock performance. Methodology: A quantitative approach using panel data regression (Random Effect Model) and Moderated Regression Analysis was applied to 110 observations from 22 conventional banks listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2020–2024). Results: Liquidity negatively and significantly affects stock performance, whereas operational efficiency has an insignificant negative effect. Digital transformation significantly amplifies liquidity's negative impact but does not moderate operational efficiency. Findings: Investors tolerate short-term operational inefficiencies as necessary digital investments but penalize forced digital expansion during tight liquidity due to heightened fundamental risks. Originality/Novelty: By integrating Signaling Theory, this research introduces digital transformation as a moderator to resolve empirical inconsistencies, demonstrating that market appreciation of a bank's digital capabilities relies heavily on its fundamental liquidity. Conclusion: Massive digital investments alongside high loan-to-deposit ratios create a market-penalized double burden. Banks must balance technological expansion with liquidity stability.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the effect of murabahah and musyarakah financing on the financial performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Palopo City. Methodology: The research employs a quantitative approach using a survey method by distributing questionnaires to 130 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, classical assumption tests, and multiple linear regression with SPSS software. Results: The results show that both murabahah and musyarakah financing have a positive and significant effect on MSMEs' financial performance, both partially and simultaneously. Findings: The main findings indicate that musyarakah financing has a more dominant influence compared to murabahah, as its profit-sharing mechanism enhances business efficiency, productivity, and financial stability. Novelty & Originality: The novelty of this study lies in its specific focus on evaluating the effectiveness of two Islamic financing contracts in improving MSMEs' financial performance within a local context, which remains limited in prior research. The originality is strengthened by the integration of empirical analysis based on primary data and the simultaneous testing of both contracts within a single analytical model. Conclusions: In conclusion, optimizing murabahah and musyarakah financing is an effective strategy to improve MSMEs' financial performance, although other external factors also contribute to performance outcomes. Type of Paper: This paper is an empirical research paper.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to analyse Bank BJB's financial performance using operating cash flow ratios: OCF/CL, OCF/TD, and OCF/NP. Methodology: A descriptive quantitative approach was applied using secondary data from Bank BJB's audited annual reports for 2019-2023, covering the pre-pandemic, pandemic, and recovery phases. The data were analysed using operating cash flow ratio analysis, with a benchmark value of 1, to assess liquidity pressure, debt dependency, and earnings quality. Results: The results show unstable cash-based financial resilience, with average OCF/CL, OCF/TD, and OCF/NP ratios of -0.011, -0.009, and -0.513, respectively. These findings indicate that operating cash flow was insufficient to support current liabilities, total liabilities, and net profit. Although 2021 recorded the strongest performance, the sharp decline in 2022 confirms that profitability was not always aligned with actual cash generation. Findings: The findings highlight the importance of cash-flow-based control and the need to align credit expansion with operating cash flow capacity. Novelty & Originality: This study offers novelty by analysing operating cash flow ratios across pre-pandemic, pandemic, and recovery phases for Bank BJB, a context rarely explored in prior research on Indonesian regional banks. Conclusions: Bank BJB needs to strengthen cash-flow-based control by aligning credit expansion with operating cash flow capacity, maintaining third-party fund stability, and ensuring that digital transformation improves cost efficiency and sustainable cash generation. Type of Paper: This paper is an empirical research paper.

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the level of knowledge and attitudes of dried fish traders and analyse their influence on the interest in utilising digital markets along the coastal area of Malabero Village, Bengkulu City. Methodology: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed using a census method, involving all 13 dried fish traders as respondents. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and questionnaires using a four-point Likert scale and analysed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. Results: The results indicate that traders’ interest in utilising digital markets is categorised as high. Knowledge (t = 5.411; p < 0.05) and attitude (t = 3.538; p < 0.05) have positive and significant effects on interest. Simultaneously, both variables significantly influence interest (F = 34.997; p < 0.05). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.875) shows that 87.5% of the variation in interest is explained by knowledge and attitude. Findings: Knowledge is identified as the most dominant factor influencing traders’ interest in utilising digital markets. Novelty: This study highlights digital literacy among small-scale coastal traders, a group that remains underexplored in digital market adoption studies. Originality: The research provides empirical evidence from a limited coastal trading community using a census approach. Conclusion: Knowledge and attitude significantly influence traders’ interest; however, the small sample size (n = 13) limits generalisation. Enhancing digital literacy through training and support is essential. Type of Paper: Research Article

Abstract

Purpose: This study aims to examine the direct effects of Person-Job Fit and Training on Employee Performance, their effects on Job Satisfaction, and to assess the mediating role of Job Satisfaction in the relationships among these variables. Methodology: This research employs an explanatory quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design. The study was conducted at BSI KC Palopo. The population consists of all permanent employees, totaling 31 individuals, who were selected as the sample using a census technique. Data were collected using a questionnaire. The data analysis technique applied is Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). Result: The results show that Person-Job Fit has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance, while Training does not have a direct effect on Employee Performance. Person-Job Fit also does not have a significant effect on Job Satisfaction, whereas Training has a positive and significant effect on Job Satisfaction. Job Satisfaction has a positive and significant effect on Employee Performance. Findings: Job Satisfaction does not mediate the relationship between Person-Job Fit and Employee Performance, but it significantly mediates the effect of Training on Employee Performance. Novelty: These findings provide empirical insights for the management of BSI KC Palopo in formulating recruitment, placement, and sustainable human resource development policies. Originality: This study integrates Person-Job Fit and training into a single model, with job satisfaction as a mediating variable, in the context of post merger at BSI KC Palopo.  Research gap: The research gap addressed in this study lies in the limited quantitative integration of Person-Job Fit and training models, as well as the scarcity of studies in Islamic banking in the post-merger context. In conclusion, employee performance improvement is achieved through two pathways: first, Person-Job Fit directly enhances performance through capability without influencing satisfaction; second, Training improves performance indirectly through Job Satisfaction as a full mediator. Type  of paper: Empirical Reasearch paper.
