Abstract

This study aims to investigate the impact of macroeconomic conditions on third-party funds at Bank BCA. The independent variables analyzed include inflation, the US Dollar exchange rate, and interest rates, while the dependent variable is the third-party funds from 2016 to 2021. Employing multiple linear regression analysis through EViews 9, the findings reveal that the independent variables collectively exert a significant influence on third-party funds at Bank BCA. Specifically, inflation demonstrates a negative correlation with third-party funds, indicating that rising inflation adversely affects deposit levels. Conversely, the US Dollar exchange rate shows a positive relationship, suggesting that a stronger dollar enhances third-party fund accumulation. Additionally, interest rates negatively impact third-party funds, highlighting the sensitivity of depositors to changes in interest rates. These results underscore the importance of macroeconomic stability in fostering a conducive environment for bank deposits, particularly in the context of Bank BCA.

Abstract

This study investigates the factors influencing regional revenue in East Java's regencies, focusing on the roles of taxes, levies, Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP), and population dynamics. Utilizing a quantitative approach, the research analyzes data from various regencies over a specified period, employing multiple regression analysis to assess the relationships between the independent variables and regional revenue. The findings reveal that both taxes and levies significantly contribute to increasing regional revenue, while GRDP demonstrates a positive correlation, indicating that economic growth enhances revenue generation. Additionally, population dynamics are shown to influence regional revenue, with higher population densities leading to increased tax and levy collections. The study underscores the importance of effective tax policies and economic planning in optimizing regional revenue, providing valuable insights for policymakers aiming to enhance fiscal sustainability in East Java. Future research is recommended to explore the impact of additional socio-economic factors on regional revenue generation.

Abstract

This study investigates the determinants of regional financial independence in East Java, Indonesia, focusing on the influence of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) per capita, intergovernmental transfers, and the working population over the period 2014–2023. Using a panel data regression model with a fixed-effects approach, we analyze data from 38 regencies/cities, sourced from the Central Bureau of Statistics, the Indonesian Ministry of Finance, and the Directorate General of Fiscal Balance. Results reveal that GRDP per capita and the working population significantly enhance financial independence, while intergovernmental transfers exhibit a negative impact. Specifically, a 1% increase in GRDP per capita elevates financial independence by 1.34%, and a 1% rise in the working population contributes 1.56% to independence. Conversely, transfers to regions, though intended to support decentralization, reduce independence by 1.89% for every 1% increase, reflecting over-reliance on central government funding. The adjusted R-squared value of 93% indicates robust explanatory power of the model.These findings underscore the critical role of local economic productivity and labor market participation in fostering fiscal autonomy, while highlighting the need for strategic reallocation of transfer funds to stimulate local revenue generation. The study concludes that policies prioritizing investment in high-productivity sectors and job creation are essential to reduce dependency on central transfers and strengthen regional financial resilience.

Abstract

This study evaluates the implementation of accounting practices in Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) in Awunio Village, Kolono District, Indonesia, focusing on compliance with the Financial Accounting Standards for Micro, Small, and Medium Entities (SAK EMKM). Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through interviews with BUMDes management and documentation analysis. Findings reveal that BUMDes in Awunio Village has not fully adhered to SAK EMKM requirements, reporting only chair rental income and expenses without presenting a balance sheet, profit/loss statement, or financial notes. This deficiency stems from a lack of training on standardized financial reporting, limiting transparency and accountability. The study highlights the need for capacity-building initiatives to enhance financial literacy among BUMDes managers and align reporting practices with regulatory frameworks. Results underscore the importance of robust financial management in sustaining rural enterprises and achieving community economic development. The research contributes to the discourse on micro-enterprise governance in Indonesia and offers actionable insights for policymakers and practitioners seeking to improve rural financial ecosystems.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of digital capability, digital literacy, and digital infrastructure on the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Banjarbaru, Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach with a sample of 387 MSMEs, the results reveal that all three variables significantly and positively influence MSME performance, with digital capability having the strongest effect (coefficient = 0.352), followed by digital literacy (0.285) and digital infrastructure (0.223). Despite high adoption rates of digital communication platforms (e.g., 99.5% for WhatsApp Business and 94.6% for social media), significant gaps were identified in digital business management aspects, such as digital bookkeeping (27.9% adoption). The model explains 64.74% of the variation in MSME performance. The study recommends five key programs—Digital Business Transformation, Digital Creative Hub, Tech Funding Access, Digital Talent Pool, and MSME Digital Market Network—to enhance the digital competitiveness of Banjarbaru’s MSMEs. These initiatives require collaboration among government, academia, and the private sector to address structural challenges and leverage digital opportunities in the region. The findings highlight the critical need for targeted interventions to bridge digital implementation gaps and optimize the adoption of digital technologies for sustainable MSME growth.

Abstract

The increasing complexity of operational risks in financial institutions has challenged the effectiveness of traditional risk management approaches. This study conducts a systematic literature review to examine how big data analytics and advanced analytical techniques enhance operational risk management (ORM) practices. Following a structured Systematic Literature Review (SLR) methodology based on the PRISMA framework, peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus were identified, screened, and synthesized to ensure methodological rigor and transparency. The review analyzes how descriptive, diagnostic, predictive, and prescriptive analytics are applied across the ORM cycle, including risk identification, measurement, monitoring, and mitigation. The findings indicate that big data analytics, supported by artificial intelligence and machine learning, significantly improve early risk detection, predictive accuracy, and real-time monitoring capabilities. Moreover, these technologies strengthen operational resilience and data-driven decision-making in financial institutions. This study contributes to the literature by providing an integrated overview of analytical approaches in ORM and identifying key research gaps, while offering practical insights for financial institutions seeking to adapt their risk management frameworks to an increasingly data-intensive environment.

Abstract

This study examines transaction costs in the marketing of salt produced by small-scale farmers in Indonesia, focusing on the institutional arrangements that shape market access and farmer dependency. Using qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews and document analysis involving salt farmers, intermediaries, letter owners, and related institutional actors in Pesanggrahan Village, Bangkalan Regency. The findings reveal that transaction costs arise primarily from asymmetric information, negotiation processes, and contractual constraints, particularly through the requirement to rent road permits issued by intermediaries to access salt processing firms. These costs, incurred outside production activities, limit farmers’ ability to sell directly to factories and weaken their bargaining position. As a result, farmers become structurally dependent on intermediaries within the salt supply chain. This study contributes to the transaction cost economics literature by highlighting how informal institutional arrangements and market regulations generate persistent inefficiencies and dependency among small-scale agricultural producers, with important implications for policy interventions aimed at improving farmer autonomy and market efficiency.

Abstract

This study examines user acceptance of the Mboistats application developed by the Malang Statistics Bureau by applying the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Specifically, it analyzes the effects of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on actual system usage, with user attitude serving as a mediating variable. Data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to 100 users and analyzed using path analysis. The results indicate that perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness have significant direct effects on user attitude and actual usage. However, user attitude does not mediate the relationship between perceived ease of use or perceived usefulness and actual usage. These findings suggest that when a digital application offers clear and measurable benefits, users tend to adopt the system directly without relying on attitudinal evaluation. This study contributes to the technology acceptance literature by providing empirical evidence from a government statistics application and highlights the importance of enhancing usability and perceived benefits to promote adoption of public sector digital services.

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of system quality, information quality, and service quality on driver satisfaction in a ride-hailing platform context. The research focuses on drivers using the Maxim application in Mimika Regency, Central Papua, Indonesia. A quantitative explanatory approach was employed using survey data collected from 114 drivers. Data were analyzed using multiple regression and path analysis to examine both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on driver satisfaction. The results indicate that information quality has a significant positive effect on driver satisfaction, while system quality and service quality do not show a significant direct influence. However, jointly, the three variables significantly explain variations in driver satisfaction, accounting for 63.1% of the total variance. These findings suggest that accurate, complete, and timely information plays a critical role in shaping driver satisfaction, particularly in regions with geographical and infrastructural constraints. This study contributes to the literature on information systems success by providing empirical evidence from an emerging and peripheral regional context.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of digital product bundling as a marketing strategy in a home-based food small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) in Indonesia. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the research explores changes in marketing practices before and after the adoption of bundling strategies promoted through social media. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and focus group discussions with business owners and involved actors, and were analyzed using thematic analysis supported by a Planning of Action framework. The findings indicate that product bundling combined with social media marketing enhances product visibility, expands market reach, and strengthens consumer engagement through integrated offerings and improved packaging. However, the implementation also faces operational challenges, including production capacity constraints, labor limitations, and distribution inefficiencies. This study contributes to the literature on SME digital marketing by highlighting product bundling as a practical and adaptive strategy for home-based food enterprises in emerging economies. The results provide managerial insights for SMEs seeking to improve competitiveness through low-cost digital marketing strategies.
