<![CDATA[This study explores the influence of tourist amenities and attractions on tourist attraction in the Deli Serdang Regency Education Field. The study used a quantitative method with purposive sampling involving 100 tourists who had visited the destination. The research data was carried out multiple linear regression through the SPSS program. The results of the analysis show that tourist amenities and attractions have a significant positive effect on tourist attraction. Of these two variables, tourist attractions have a superior influence over amenities. Simultaneously, both variables have a potential of 61.7% variation in tourist attraction, while 38.3% is determined by other factors not found in the study. This finding explains that the better the amenities provided and the more tourist attractions there are, the more tourists will be interested in visiting. In addition, the findings can be used as a guideline for tourist destination managers in developing development strategies that focus on improving the quality of tourist amenities and attractions to increase tourist attraction.]]>

<![CDATA[This study aims to examine the influence of empathy and legal awareness on anti-bullying behavior among Senior High School (SLTA) students in the Kutacane area, Southeast Aceh Regency. This study employed a quantitative approach with an ex-post facto correlational design. Primary data were collected using a closed-ended questionnaire measured on a Likert scale and distributed to respondents selected through proportionate stratified random sampling to ensure representation across grade levels and school types. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after conducting the required classical assumption tests. The findings indicate that empathy has a positive and significant effect on anti-bullying behavior. Legal awareness also has a positive and significant effect on anti-bullying behavior. Simultaneously, empathy and legal awareness significantly influence anti-bullying behavior, indicating that both internal emotional sensitivity and understanding of legal norms contribute to students’ efforts to reject and prevent bullying. The study concludes that strengthening anti-bullying behavior requires educational interventions that integrate empathy development with legal literacy. Therefore, educational institutions are encouraged to implement emotional intelligence and empathy training alongside legal literacy programs involving relevant authorities to strengthen students’ awareness of bullying prevention and the legal consequences of violent behavior. ]]>

<![CDATA[The normalization of Work from Home (WFH), Work from Office (WFO), and hybrid work has intensified interest in employee productivity, yet prior research often examines ergonomic, psychological, organizational, and environmental determinants separately. This fragmentation limits integrated understanding of how enabling and constraining conditions differ across work arrangements. This study addresses that gap through a structured narrative review of 50 scholarly sources published between 2020 and 2025 using an adapted Performance Shaping Factors (PSF) perspective. The review integrates physical, cognitive, organizational, environmental, and individual factors into a 31-factor codebook and combines thematic synthesis, frequency and Pareto mapping, and separate WFH-WFO matrices for enabling and constraining factors. The synthesis indicates that organizational and cognitive conditions are especially prominent in the literature, while physical, environmental, and individual conditions remain consequential. WFH more often supports autonomy, concentration, work-life balance, and remote-work support, but is also associated with greater exposure to technostress, interruptions, social isolation, household demands, and musculoskeletal discomfort. WFO more consistently provides communication, supervision, collaboration, training, and standardized ergonomic support. Frequency is interpreted as prominence in the reviewed literature rather than as effect size. The study contributes an integrated PSF-based framework for comparing work arrangements and offers a practical basis for designing hybrid policies that match work location to task, employee, and organizational conditions. ]]>

<![CDATA[Customer retention is a strategic concern for enrollment-based educational technology (EdTech) firms, where acquiring a new customer costs far more than retaining an existing one. Churn research in education, however, rests on an unresolved measurement premise: models routinely treat any post-onboarding inactivity as churn, conflating genuine dropouts with fast completers who finish and leave, and they typically require full-course data that arrive too late for intervention. Addressing both gaps, this study develops and validates an early-warning model of customer dropout in a vocational, competency-based EdTech platform in Indonesia aligned with the national work competency standards (SKKNI), using only behavioral data from each customer’s first 14 days. The novelty is at once conceptual and methodological: a completer-aware dropout label requiring both sustained inactivity and the absence of an earned certificate combined with a uniform outcome window that removes censoring bias. Analyzing an operational database snapshot (11 February–28 July 2026) of the SertifiTech.id platform, a cohort of 177 paying customers was studied. Nine behavioral features were engineered under an adapted Recency–Frequency–Intensity framework, and logistic regression, random forest, and gradient boosting were compared through 5-fold stratified cross-validation with odds ratios, SHAP, and permutation importance. Dropout reached 23.2%. Early engagement persistence was the single dominant protective factor, robust across every model family and interpretation method (OR = 0.094), whereas activity breadth proved protective rather than harmful reversing the ‘skimming’ effect obtained under a naive label. The best model attained AUC 0.794 (95% CI 0.718–0.864), and targeting the highest-risk 20% of customers captured 46% of all dropouts (2.3× lift), evidencing a practical two-week early-warning system.]]>

<![CDATA[Customer loyalty in Indonesia's local supermarket sector is increasingly difficult to maintain as convenience store chains, e-commerce, and changing shopping expectations expand consumer alternatives. Previous studies have generally examined Word of Mouth or Store Atmosphere separately and placed satisfaction and word-of-mouth communication in distinct causal roles, leaving limited evidence on how social information and physical environmental stimuli jointly create loyalty in traditional supermarkets. This study integrates the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework and the logic of post-purchase consumer behavior by placing Word of Mouth and Store Atmosphere as stimuli, Consumer Satisfaction as the organism, and Customer Loyalty as the response. Survey data were obtained from 120 regular customers of Maju Bersama Supermarket, Medan, and analyzed using PLS-SEM in SmartPLS 4.0. The results indicate that Word of Mouth and Store Atmosphere have a positive effect on Consumer Satisfaction and Customer Loyalty, while Consumer Satisfaction has a positive effect on Customer Loyalty. Both indirect effects are also significant, indicating complementary partial mediation rather than full mediation. The novelty of this research lies in the integration of social and atmospheric stimuli into a single loyalty model within the context of a local supermarket. Theoretically, these findings extend SOR-based retail research by clarifying satisfaction as an affective-evaluative mechanism. Practically, managers should coordinate referral and review initiatives with improvements in layout, cleanliness, lighting, music, and service consistency to strengthen long-term customer satisfaction and retention. ]]>

<![CDATA[The rapid expansion of the gig economy has transformed employment relationships in the transportation sector by offering flexible work arrangements while simultaneously creating challenges related to income stability, job security, and long-term workforce commitment. These conditions make understanding the factors that influence online drivers’ job loyalty increasingly important. This study examines the effects of the Gig Economy and Quality of Work Life (QWL) on Job Loyalty, with Job Satisfaction serving as a mediating variable among online transportation drivers in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta, Indonesia. A quantitative research design was employed using purposive sampling to collect data from 183 active drivers of digital ride-hailing platforms. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4. The findings reveal that both the Gig Economy and QWL have positive and significant effects on Job Satisfaction and Job Loyalty. Furthermore, Job Satisfaction significantly enhances Job Loyalty and partially mediates the relationships between the Gig Economy, QWL, and Job Loyalty. Among the examined variables, the Gig Economy exerts the strongest influence on Job Satisfaction, whereas QWL has the greatest direct effect on Job Loyalty. These findings contribute to the growing literature on platform-based employment by providing empirical evidence from Indonesia and highlighting the importance of improving drivers’ working conditions and job satisfaction to strengthen workforce loyalty. Practically, the results offer strategic insights for digital platform providers in designing policies that promote sustainable driver engagement and organizational commitment.]]>

<![CDATA[This study examines the effect of financial literacy and fintech adoption on the investment decisions of Indonesia’s Generation Z investors. Although digital platforms have made capital-market access easier than ever, national survey data show that the financial literacy of young adults still lags behind that of older working-age cohorts, raising the question of whether easier access is matched by the capability to make sound investment decisions. Using a quantitative associative design, primary data were collected through a structured online questionnaire from 400 Generation Z respondents (born in 2000 or later) in Java and outside Java who had used at least one digital financial or investment platform, selected through purposive quota sampling. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression after validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The results show that financial literacy (B = 0.341, p < 0.001) and fintech adoption (B = 0.298, p < 0.001) are each positively and significantly related to investment decisions and are jointly significant (F = 61.638, p < 0.001), explaining 23.3% of the variance in investment decisions (Adjusted R² = 0.233). These findings indicate that sound investment decisions among Generation Z depend on both knowledge-based capability and technology-enabled access. Financial educators, fintech providers, and regulators should therefore integrate financial-literacy content into digital investment platforms rather than treating investor education and platform access as separate agendas.]]>

<![CDATA[Previous studies provide inconsistent evidence regarding the financial implications of green accounting and carbon emission disclosure (CED), while limited attention has been given to corporate financing structures in Indonesia’s energy sector. This study examines the effects of green accounting and CED on financial stability, proxied by the debt-to-equity ratio (DER), among energy companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during 2021–2025. Using a quantitative explanatory design, the study analyzes 60 firm-year observations from 12 purposively selected companies. Green accounting is measured by the ratio of environmental costs to net income after tax, while CED is assessed using a disclosure index based on GRI 305. Multiple linear regression shows that green accounting has no statistically significant effect on DER, whereas CED has a negative and significant effect, indicating that more comprehensive carbon disclosure is associated with lower leverage. Together, green accounting and CED explain 8.5% of the adjusted variation in DER. The study contributes to environmental accounting literature by extending the analysis of environmental practices from profitability and firm value to corporate financing structure. The findings suggest that carbon disclosure is more closely associated with DER than environmental expenditure, although this relationship should be interpreted specifically within the study’s DER-based measure of financial stability. ]]>

<![CDATA[Psychological safety enables organizational members to take interpersonal risks, express new ideas, and contribute without fear of negative consequences, yet how this construct relates to teachers' courage to innovate remains poorly understood in Islamic educational settings, where organizational values and leadership norms are shaped by religious teaching. This study examines how psychological safety relates to teachers' innovation courage within the educational organization of MTsS Mohammad Hekal. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation study involving 12 informants consisting of the principal, vice-principals, and teachers, and were analyzed using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014). The results reveal that: (1) psychological safety at MTsS Mohammad Hekal is well established, characterized by relatively strong team trust, an emerging but unevenly distributed learning climate, and inclusive leadership practices; (2) teachers' innovation courage is reflected in efforts to search for and explore new ideas, advocate for them, and implement innovative programs such as active learning methods, digital technology use, and cross-subject collaboration; (3) psychological safety plays a substantial role in shaping teachers' innovation courage through three interrelated mechanisms the reduction of evaluative anxiety, the facilitation of knowledge sharing, and the strengthening of intrinsic motivation processes that are further reinforced by Islamic values such as syura, ukhuwwah, and tawadu'. These findings affirm that school principals who combine transformational and supportive leadership with these Islamic organizational values can create psychologically safe environments that encourage teachers to innovate more boldly. Practical implications suggest the need for psychological safety-based leadership development programs in Islamic educational institutions. ]]>

<![CDATA[Previous studies have largely examined algorithmic control and income stability through separate outcomes, leaving their simultaneous relationship with platform workers' perceived target pressure insufficiently understood. This study examines the associations of Algorithmic Governance and Income Consistency with Perceived Target Pressure among 80 platform-based ride-hailing and delivery drivers in Pontianak, Indonesia. The first 80 complete responses submitted by the predetermined closing date of 30 April 2026 were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The study integrates Management Control Systems and Behavioral Accounting, while Agency Theory contextualizes platform–driver information asymmetry. Algorithmic Governance was positively associated with Perceived Target Pressure (B = 0.640, β = 0.458, p < 0.001), whereas Income Consistency was negatively associated with Perceived Target Pressure (B = −0.490, β = −0.391, p = 0.003). The model was statistically significant, F(2, 77) = 7.069, p = 0.002, and accounted for 15.5% of the observed variance (R² = 0.155; adjusted R² = 0.133). The study's novelty lies in examining both predictors simultaneously within an integrated management-control and behavioral-accounting framework. It contributes context-specific evidence from platform drivers in Pontianak. The findings indicate distinct conditional associations, but the cross-sectional design does not establish causality or predictor dominance.]]>
