Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of economic growth on unemployment rates in ASEAN countries using Okun's Law and incorporating control variables of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and economic structure consisting of industry value added and service value added. The data used is panel data from 8 ASEAN countries over several years obtained from the World Bank. The results show that economic growth has a negative relationship with the unemployment rate, thus supporting the validity of Okun's Law in the ASEAN region. The FDI control variable shows varying effects between countries, but in general, FDI is not always able to significantly reduce unemployment. Meanwhile, the economic structure shows that an increase in the contribution of the industrial sector tends to be associated with a decrease in unemployment, while an increase in the contribution of the service sector has an effect that depends on the economic characteristics of each country. These findings confirm that stable economic growth and the strengthening of productive sectors are important factors in reducing unemployment in ASEAN. This study has implications for the governments of ASEAN countries to strengthen their industrialization strategies, increase job creation, and direct foreign investment flows to labor-intensive sectors.

Abstract

This study systematically reviewed recent developments in the use of information systems and digital technologies for detecting and reducing greenwashing in corporate sustainability reporting during the period of 2024–2025. Using a systematic literature review approach based on established guidelines, this study examined forty-five peer-reviewed journal articles published between January 2024 and September 2025. The findings showed that information systems had progressed from basic data management tools into integrated digital ecosystems that employed artificial intelligence, natural language processing, blockchain, and environmental, social, and governance analytics to identify misleading sustainability disclosures. The review revealed four major themes, namely digital transparency and data integrity, technology-driven detection and predictive analysis, governance and ethical structures, and sector-specific reporting practices. Although meaningful advancements had been achieved, several challenges persisted, particularly the absence of standardized digital verification models and limited accountability in algorithm-based assessments. This study contributed to theoretical and practical discussions by mapping how information-system-based models strengthened the credibility of sustainability reporting and by outlining future research directions to improve greenwashing detection mechanisms.

The findings indicate that effective communication fosters clarity and cooperation, teamwork enhances collective productivity, and motivation drives employees to achieve organizational goals. These results are consistent with prior studies, confirming that organizational success strongly depends on the interplay between communication, teamwork, and motivation. The study concludes that strengthening these three factors can significantly improve employee performance and contribute to sustainable business growth at PT X.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of work motivation, work discipline, and compensation on employee performance at PT X. Employing a quantitative research design based on the positivist paradigm, both primary and secondary data were utilized. Primary data were obtained through structured questionnaires distributed to employees, while secondary data were gathered from company archives and relevant literature. The research sample consisted of 80 respondents determined using the Krejcie and Morgan table. Data analysis was performed using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software to test the partial (t-test) and simultaneous (F-test) effects of the independent variables. The findings reveal that work motivation has a significant positive influence on employee performance, indicating that motivated employees tend to perform better. Similarly, work discipline shows a significant and positive impact on performance, suggesting that adherence to organizational rules and responsibilities enhances employee effectiveness. Compensation also demonstrates a significant positive effect, confirming that fair and adequate rewards strengthen employees’ productivity and commitment. Furthermore, simultaneous testing indicates that work motivation, work discipline, and compensation collectively exert a substantial influence on employee performance. Theoretically, these results reinforce previous empirical studies emphasizing motivation, discipline, and compensation as essential determinants of performance. Practically, the findings provide valuable insight for management at PT X in developing effective strategies to enhance employee motivation, enforce discipline, and implement fair compensation systems to improve overall organizational performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of brand image, product quality, and trust on consumer purchase intention toward Skintific moisturizer at PT X in Batam City. Employing a quantitative research design grounded in the positivist paradigm, data were collected from primary sources through structured questionnaires distributed to consumers. The total number of respondents was determined using a purposive sampling approach, and statistical analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with the assistance of SPSS software to evaluate both partial (t-test) and simultaneous (F-test) effects. The empirical findings reveal that brand image exerts a positive and significant effect on purchase intention, indicating that a favorable perception of the brand—encompassing company reputation, product image, and user image—directly increases consumers’ willingness to buy. Product quality also shows a positive and significant influence, suggesting that the perceived excellence of the product’s safety, texture, efficacy, and performance enhances consumer interest. Likewise, consumer trust significantly and positively impacts purchase intention, demonstrating that confidence in the authenticity, reliability, and integrity of the product fosters higher purchasing motivation. Moreover, the simultaneous test results confirm that brand image, product quality, and trust collectively have a substantial influence on purchase intention. These findings are consistent with previous research, reinforcing the theoretical understanding that purchase intention is shaped by an interrelated combination of cognitive, affective, and behavioral factors. Theoretically, the study contributes to marketing literature by validating the importance of brand image, product quality, and trust in shaping consumer behavior in the skincare industry.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of product quality, brand image, and price on consumer purchase intention toward Acer laptop products marketed by PT X in Batam City. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach, data were collected from 100 respondents through an online questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression in SPSS. The results demonstrate that all three independent variables, product quality, brand image, and price, have a simultaneous and significant effect on purchase intention. Individually, brand image (β = 0.477, Sig. = 0.000) emerged as the most dominant factor influencing consumers’ decisions, followed by price (β = 0.436, Sig. = 0.000), while product quality, though statistically significant (β = 0.011, Sig. = 0.025), exhibited the smallest effect. These findings suggest that consumers in Batam prioritize psychological and symbolic brand perceptions, as well as perceived value-for-money considerations, over purely functional attributes when purchasing laptops. The managerial implications highlight the need for PT X to focus on strengthening brand image through reputation-building and superior after-sales service, implementing competitive yet value-reflective pricing strategies, and maintaining consistent product quality assurance. Overall, the study provides empirical evidence that branding and perceived price fairness are key determinants of purchase intention in the technology retail market.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of career development, work motivation, and job satisfaction on employee performance at X Resort Barelang Batam, a four-star hospitality establishment operating under The Ascott Limited network. Using a quantitative approach with 85 respondents and statistical analysis conducted through SPSS 25, the research aims to determine the extent to which these human resource variables contribute to performance outcomes. The results reveal that all three independent variables—career development (X₁), work motivation (X₂), and job satisfaction (X₃)—have positive and significant effects on employee performance (Y). Among them, job satisfaction demonstrates the strongest influence (β = 0.308; Sig = 0.002), followed by work motivation (β = 0.305; Sig = 0.005) and career development (β = 0.136; Sig = 0.198). The model’s coefficient of determination (R² = 0.601) indicates that 60.1% of performance variation is explained by these factors. The findings highlight that structured career development, effective motivational strategies, and enhanced job satisfaction collectively strengthen employee engagement and service quality. These results confirm the theoretical propositions of human capital and expectancy theories while providing practical implications for improving human resource policies within the hospitality sector.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of product quality and brand image on purchase decisions among TikTok Shop consumers in Batam City, Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach and multiple linear regression analysis, data were collected from 100 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that both product quality and brand image have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions. Specifically, higher perceived product quality, measured through performance, features, reliability, conformity, durability, service capability, aesthetics, and perceived quality, enhances consumer willingness to purchase. Similarly, a strong brand image, comprising company image, user image, and product image, significantly increases consumers’ likelihood of making purchase decisions. These results align with previous research emphasizing that product attributes and brand perception are key determinants of consumer behavior in e-commerce environments. The study provides both theoretical and practical implications, particularly for online sellers and digital marketing strategists seeking to strengthen consumer trust and drive purchase intentions on live-streaming commerce platforms

Abstract

This study examines the influence of Trust, Usefulness, and Security on the Intention to Use the Ferizy application for Ro-Ro ferry ticket reservations in Batam. As digital platforms increasingly shape transportation services in Indonesia, understanding user perceptions becomes crucial for enhancing adoption and sustaining long-term engagement. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to active Ro-Ro ferry users. The results show that Trust, Usefulness, and Security each have a positive and significant effect on Intention to Use, while the simultaneous F-test confirms that these three variables collectively contribute substantially to explaining user intention. Descriptive findings indicate that users perceive Ferizy as highly useful, particularly in facilitating faster and more efficient ticket reservations. Trust levels are also relatively high, supported by perceptions of system credibility and transparent service information. Security emerges as a critical determinant, as users express confidence in the protection of personal data and the safety of digital transactions. The variable measuring Intention to Use records the highest average score, reflecting strong user motivation to continue utilizing the application. These findings underscore the necessity for digital service providers to strengthen system reliability, functional benefits, and robust security mechanisms, while also offering theoretical contributions to consumer behavior research within digital service adoption in Indonesia.
