Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of organizational culture, work flexibility, and digital competence on work productivity and job satisfaction. The respondents in this study were 200 respondents who were employees working in various industrial sectors in Bangka Belitung who experienced digital transformation in their work environment, Using the path analysis method, the results of the study showed that organizational culture has a positive and significant influence on work productivity and job satisfaction. Work flexibility has also been shown to contribute significantly to Job Satisfaction, showing that the higher the flexibility in the work environment, the more employee satisfaction increases. However, digital competencies do not have a significant relationship with Work Productivity, which indicates that competitive factors in the work environment do not necessarily drive increased productivity. These findings contribute to the development of theories in human resource management by emphasizing the importance of organizational culture and work flexibility in increasing employee productivity and satisfaction. Practically, the results of this research can be a reference for organizations to create a more collaborative and flexible work environment to improve employee welfare and performance. However, this study has limitations in sample coverage and does not consider moderator or mediator variables that can affect the relationship between variables. Therefore, future research is suggested to explore additional factors, such as management support and work-life balance, for a more comprehensive understanding of organizational dynamics and employee productivity.

Abstract

This research endeavors to investigate the significance of emotional intelligence in enhancing the quality of employee interactions and its subsequent influence on customer satisfaction, while considering work-life balance as a moderating variable. Emotional intelligence is pivotal in fostering constructive interactions between employees and customers, which may ultimately facilitate an enhancement in customer satisfaction. Nevertheless, work-life balance may serve as a moderating factor in this association, wherein employees who experience a favorable work-life balance are generally more adept at regulating their emotions and delivering superior service quality. This study employs a quantitative methodology, utilizing data collected through the administration of questionnaires. The research sample comprised 200 respondents employed within the customer service sector. Data analysis was conducted utilizing moderation regression techniques to examine the interrelationships among the variables under investigation. The findings of the study indicated that emotional intelligence exerted a significant impact on the quality of employee interactions, yet did not demonstrate a direct influence on work-life balance. Furthermore, the quality of employee interaction significantly affected both work-life balance and customer satisfaction, thereby underscoring the critical importance of positive interactions for organizational success. Work-life balance was found to exert a beneficial influence on customer satisfaction, necessitating that corporations prioritize employee well-being. Management must formulate policies that endorse work-life balance and simultaneously enhance employee communication skills to elevate customer satisfaction.

Abstract

The brand image significantly impacts customer purchasing decisions, especially within the competitive specialty coffee sector. Janji Jiwa Coffee has cultivated a robust market presence; nevertheless, few research have investigated the influence of its brand image on consumer behavior from a psychological standpoint. Comprehending these psychological variables might assist organizations in optimizing their branding strategy and augmenting client loyalty. This study examines the influence of Janji Jiwa Coffee’s brand image on customer purchasing decisions in Pekanbaru, focusing on the roles of brand perception, brand trust, and emotional attachment in determining consumer preferences. Data were acquired from Janji Jiwa Coffee users using a quantitative technique via structured surveys. Statistical research was utilized to investigate the correlations between essential branding elements and purchasing decisions. The findings indicate that brand perception is the predominant influence, underscoring the significance of brand reputation and consistency. Brand trust profoundly affects purchasing intentions, underscoring the importance of ethical standards and product excellence in fostering loyalty. Furthermore, emotional attachment amplifies consumer involvement and fosters repeat purchases.  The results underscore the necessity for strategic branding, trust-enhancing measures, and experiential marketing to bolster brand loyalty and influence customer choices.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of digital leadership, work-life balance, employee engagement, and organizational learning on employee performance, with job satisfaction as a moderating variable. Using SEM-PLS analysis on data from 250 employees in Indonesia's technology and service sectors, the findings reveal significant positive effects of digital leadership, employee engagement, organizational learning, work-life balance, and job satisfaction on performance. Job satisfaction positively moderates the relationship between digital leadership, work-life balance, and employee engagement with performance. However, a counterintuitive finding emerges in the interaction between job satisfaction and organizational learning, which weakens performance. This suggests that while job satisfaction amplifies the benefits of adaptive leadership and work-life harmony, it may reduce the efficacy of organizational learning initiatives, potentially due to misalignment with individual needs or contextual factors. The study underscores the necessity for organizations to cultivate technology-adaptive environments, prioritize employee engagement, and design balanced policies that integrate digital leadership with holistic well-being. Policymakers are advised to advocate for labor regulations that strengthen digital leadership capabilities and institutionalize work-life balance frameworks. For future research, longitudinal approaches and contextual variables—such as organizational culture or workload pressures—are recommended to deepen understanding of these dynamics. These insights contribute to human resource management strategies in the digital era, including nuanced approaches to sustaining performance while addressing employee satisfaction

Abstract

This study analyses the influence of investment decisions, profitability, capital structure, and company size on the property and real estate companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (2020-2024). Using multiple linear regression on secondary data, the results concluded that investment decisions, profitability, and company size have a significant influence on the value of companies in the property and real estate sectors, while capital structure is insignificant. The capital structure is insignificant, supported by Modigliani-Miller's theory and pandemic policy interventions that reduce debt risk. The findings reinforce the role of signaling theory where profitability is the main signal of investor confidence, while capital structure is irrelevant in the context of emerging markets. Future research recommendations include the integration of sustainability variables (ESG), longitudinal analysis of the impact of post-pandemic debt restructuring, as well as qualitative approaches to unravel the paradox of company size. The practical implications suggest optimizing profitability through operational efficiency and prudence in large-scale business expansion. Future research will need to expand variables such as ESG performance, dividend policies, or environmental risks to answer unexplained variations. Capital structural analysis can be focused on specific conditions (e.g., property cycle phases or high interest rates) using a moderated regression approach. Longitudinal studies are needed to assess the long-term impact of pandemic policies, while qualitative methods (interviews) can uncover the paradox of the negative influence of company size. Inter-sector comparisons and non-linear modeling are also recommended to understand the complexity of variable relationships in asset-heavy contexts such as properties

Abstract

This quantitative study investigates the factors influencing the efficacy of anti-online gambling campaigns, employing a survey of 255 respondents. Using structural equation modeling, we examined the relationships between message relevance, communication channels, government regulations, public awareness, and the decrease in online gambling application users. Findings indicate that message relevance directly impacts both public awareness and a reduction in application usage. Notably, communication channels and government regulations affect application usage exclusively through their influence on public awareness, which fully mediates these relationships. Public awareness also partially mediates the impact of message relevance on application usage. These results highlight the critical role of relevant messaging in directly altering user behavior. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of strategically utilizing communication channels and government regulations to enhance public awareness, which serves as a crucial intermediary for reducing online gambling application usage. This research offers robust managerial implications for designing effective anti-online gambling campaigns, emphasizing tailored messaging and strategic public awareness initiatives.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the influence of servant leadership on job performance, with employee engagement as a mediating variable, on village officials in Pituruh District, Purworejo Regency. Using a quantitative approach, data were obtained from 120 respondents through questionnaires and analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method based on Partial Least Square with the help of SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results of the study indicate that servant leadership has a positive and significant effect on employee engagement, with a coefficient of 0.667, and that employee engagement has a very positive effect on job performance, with a coefficient of 0.816. However, the direct relationship of servant leadership to job performance is not significant, with a value of -0.121. Therefore, it is proven that employee engagement fully mediates the effect of servant leadership on job performance. The R-square value for employee engagement of 0.445 and job performance of 0.549 indicates that the model has sufficient explanatory power. These findings indicate that in the context of public organizations such as village governments, servant leadership does not directly improve performance, but rather through increased employee engagement. Therefore, developing a service-focused leadership style and strategies to increase employee engagement is important in efforts to improve the performance of village officials.
