Abstract

Corporate tax avoidance remains relevant in Indonesia because low effective tax payments may weaken fiscal capacity, particularly when firms face financing and recovery pressures. This study examines the associations of sales growth, leverage, and firm size with the cash effective tax rate (CETR) of manufacturing firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. The final balanced sample comprises 10 firms and 50 firm-year observations for 2021–2025, selected through purposive screening for continuous listing, complete annual reports, and complete inputs for all variables. CETR is measured as cash taxes paid divided by profit before tax; therefore, a lower CETR indicates greater tax avoidance, whereas a higher CETR indicates lower tax avoidance. The available estimates were generated using pooled ordinary least squares as a baseline specification. Sales growth is negatively but not significantly associated with CETR (β = −0.142; p = 0.085), while leverage (β = 0.017; p = 0.012) and firm size (β = 0.013; p = 0.017) are positively associated with CETR. The model is jointly significant (F = 6.252; p = 0.001) and explains 29.0% of CETR variation (adjusted R² = 0.243). Because the dependent variable is CETR, the positive leverage and firm-size coefficients indicate higher cash tax rates and therefore lower—not higher—tax avoidance. Practically, tax authorities should prioritize persistent low-CETR patterns and the substance of financing arrangements rather than treating high leverage or large firm size as automatic evidence of avoidance. The contribution lies in clarifying the inverse interpretation of CETR and reassessing mixed evidence during the pandemic and early recovery period. Nevertheless, the small sample, detected heteroskedasticity, absence of fixed- or random-effects estimation, and lack of an ETR robustness test require cautious interpretation.

Abstract

This study formulates a marketing strategy for Gerai Multiekspres using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) as a diagnostic and strategy-formulation framework. The case is important because the outlet offers a multi-operator courier concept but experienced weakening shipment performance, indicating that service variety alone does not create sustainable differentiation. A qualitative descriptive case-study design was applied, supported by descriptive summaries of internal shipment records, customer-profile mapping, customer-need indicators, observation notes, and BMC documents. The analysis followed the Miles and Huberman model through data reduction, coding into BMC and service-quality categories, data display, triangulation across documents and observations, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that UMKM/online sellers are the priority segment because they generate repeated shipment potential and require operational convenience, tariff clarity, courier matching, pickup support, and digital information. The existing business model remains dominated by a one-stop multi-courier value proposition, broad customer segmentation, transactional relationships, and limited digital acquisition. The proposed model repositions Gerai Multiekspres as a shipment specialist supported by local ASPERINDO partnerships, consultative shipment advisory, omnichannel communication, merchant membership, proactive tracking, and measurable service indicators. The study contributes by showing how BMC can be used not only to describe business elements, but also to connect partner capability, customer-value diagnosis, service-quality improvement, and loyalty-oriented logistics strategy.

Abstract

Teacher Teacher job satisfaction is an important issue in Human Resource Management because it is associated with employee motivation, commitment, and organisational effectiveness. Although teacher job satisfaction has been widely linked to leadership, working conditions, and self-efficacy, teacher competence is more frequently examined as an antecedent of performance than as a direct predictor of job satisfaction. Empirical evidence remains limited, particularly among public elementary-school teachers working in densely populated urban education systems in Indonesia. This study therefore examined the relationship between teacher competence and teacher job satisfaction among 160 public elementary-school teachers in East Jakarta. A cross-sectional quantitative survey design was employed. Teacher competence was operationalised through pedagogical, professional, social, and personal dimensions, whereas teacher job satisfaction encompassed satisfaction with work, the work environment, and social and managerial support. The data were analysed using descriptive statistics, item analysis, reliability testing, classical assumption tests, Pearson correlation, and simple linear regression. The findings showed that teacher competence (M = 4.18) and teacher job satisfaction (M = 4.10) were both rated positively. The regression model indicated a strong and significant positive relationship between teacher competence and teacher job satisfaction (r = .782; standardised β = .782; R² = .612; adjusted R² = .610; p < .001). These results suggest that teacher competence accounted for 61.2% of the observed variance in job satisfaction. This study contributes to Human Resource Management in education by positioning teacher competence as a strategic personal and organisational resource associated with positive work attitudes. The findings support competence development as a managerial strategy, particularly through professional training, digital-pedagogical development, mentoring, and academic supervision. Future studies should employ multivariable statistical models by incorporating recognition, leadership, workload, compensation, and other organisational factors.

Abstract

The rapid growth of digital technology, big data, and artificial intelligence (AI) has accelerated the adoption of data-driven human resource management. Consequently, people analytics has evolved into a strategic capability that supports more effective HR decision-making through the use of employee data. However, previous reviews mainly focused on conceptual issues or organizational benefits, leaving limited comprehensive evidence regarding recent developments, AI integration, ethical concerns, and HR decision-making. This study addresses this gap through a PRISMA-based SLR of Scopus-indexed literature. This study examines research developments, key themes, benefits, challenges, and future directions of people analytics through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) following the PRISMA guidelines. Data were collected from the Scopus database, yielding 104 articles that met the inclusion criteria. The findings reveal a substantial increase in people analytics publications since 2021, reflecting the rapid pace of digital transformation. Five major themes emerged from the literature: people analytics in HR decision-making, AI and machine learning integration, organizational value creation, organizational readiness and analytical capability, and data ethics and privacy. The evidence indicates that people analytics enhances the objectivity, accuracy, and effectiveness of HR decisions in recruitment, talent management, performance evaluation, and employee retention. Nevertheless, its implementation remains constrained by issues related to data quality, analytical capability, organizational resistance, and ethical concerns surrounding algorithmic decision-making. Overall, this study offers both theoretical contributions and practical implications for organizations.

Abstract

This study examines the comparative financial performance of PT Unilever Indonesia Tbk before and during the viral boycott of Israeli/pro-Israel products in Indonesia. Using a quantitative comparative approach, financial performance is evaluated through liquidity, solvency, activity, and profitability ratios based on quarterly financial reports from Q4-2022 to Q3-2024. The findings indicate fluctuations in several financial ratios during the boycott period; however, the overall financial performance category remained relatively stable. Liquidity and solvency ratios were categorized as suboptimal both before and during the boycott, while profitability and activity ratios largely remained in the optimal category.

Abstract

Efficient revenue management is crucial for PT Jalur Nugraha Ekakurir (JNE) amidst surging delivery volumes. To optimize billing and reduce manual errors from the legacy MyOrion system, JNE migrated to the RAISE Billing Management System. However, implementation faces operational constraints including synchronization gaps requiring manual reconciliation, lengthy maintenance downtimes, and rigid administrative validations that hinder cash flow. This study evaluates RAISE's operational effectiveness at JNE Gedebage's Revenue Assurance unit, mapping billing procedures, identifying systemic bottlenecks, and formulating strategic solutions. Utilizing a Qualitative Descriptive approach, data was gathered through interviews with four purposively selected informants and triangulated with observations, document analysis, and literature reviews. Findings reveal that RAISE significantly optimizes workflows via 24-hour automated synchronization, accelerating high-volume processing, reducing human error, and offering billing flexibility. Despite an 8.7 staff rating, technical barriers like early-month maintenance disrupting peak cycles, filter failures on cash transactions, and reliance on external communication for troubleshooting prevent maximum efficiency. Conclusively, while RAISE enhances speed and accuracy, technical instability limits its potential. Strategic recommendations include shifting maintenance to off-peak mid-month periods, mandating tax ID validation during onboarding, refining cash transaction filters, and developing real-time reconciliation dashboards. Future research should quantitatively measure workflow efficiency, evaluate user satisfaction, explore predictive error-detection analytics, and assess the macroeconomic impacts of technical billing inefficiencies.

Abstract

Taxpayer compliance remains a central governance challenge in Indonesia, particularly amid the nationwide rollout of the Core Tax Administration System (Coretax) since January 2025. While Coretax, tax literacy, and tax service quality have each attracted scholarly attention individually, no study has empirically examined all three determinants simultaneously within the post-Coretax environment for individual taxpayers a gap this study addresses. A quantitative survey was administered to 150 individual taxpayers with direct Coretax experience; data were analyzed using multiple linear regression in IBM SPSS Statistics 26. Results show that Coretax Implementation exerts no statistically significant direct effect on compliance (B = 0.056, t = 0.855, p = 0.394), whereas Tax Literacy (β = 0.507, t = 6.623, p < 0.001) and Tax Service Quality (β = 0.352, t = 4.314, p < 0.001) both demonstrate positive and significant effects. The three variables jointly explain 74.7 percent of compliance variance (Adjusted R² = 0.747; F(3, 146) = 147.731, p < 0.001). Theoretically, this study advances TAM, TPB, and the Slippery Slope Framework by demonstrating that digital tax infrastructure produces compliance gains only when concurrent levels of taxpayer literacy and service quality are adequate. Practically, the DJP should treat Coretax deployment as one element of an integrated strategy that prioritizes sustained tax literacy investment and continuous service quality improvement over technology rollout alone.

Abstract

Tourism development increasingly emphasizes local wisdom as a strategic asset in strengthening destination identity and competitiveness. This study analyses a local wisdom-based hotel management strategy at Sibayak Berastagi Hotel and its contribution to the destination branding of Tanah Karo. An interpretive qualitative case-study design was applied to a structured dataset comprising 18 role-based informants: three managers, five operational employees, six hotel guests, one tourism-office representative, one Karo cultural leader, and two local micro-enterprise actors. Data were analysed through open, axial, and selective coding using an interactive qualitative analysis approach. Source and method triangulation, a codebook, an audit trail, an evidence matrix, and contextual description were used to strengthen trustworthiness. The analysis identified four interconnected themes: cultural orientation in management, the translation of mehamat into service behaviour, cultural products and spatial identity, and community collaboration. These practices create culturally meaningful guest touchpoints that strengthen perceived authenticity and destination differentiation. The study proposes a Cultural Hospitality–Destination Branding pathway that links local values, managerial translation, guest experience, and destination-brand outcomes.
