Abstract

Firm value illustrates how investors and the market view the company's ability to effectively manage its resources effectively. There are several factors that influence firm value, including financial performance, ESG, and firm size. This research aims to assess the impact of financial performance, ESG, and firm size on firm value, along with the role of firm size in influencing the relationship between financial performance and ESG on firm value. The analytical approach employed in this research is moderated regression analysis (MRA). The sample for this research includes firms engaged in the coal sector that are listed on the Indonesian Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2021 to 2023. Based on purposive sampling, 16 companies were selected. The results of the research indicate that there is a significant partial influence of financial performance, as measured by ROA, CR, and DER, on firm value. ESG disclosure also significantly influences firm value, and firm size also significantly influences firm value. Additionally, firm size, which is also used as a moderating variable, moderates the relationship between liquidity and firm value, as well as leverage and firm value. Through simultaneous testing, the independent variables and interaction variables significantly influence firm value.

Abstract

The global COVID-19 pandemic significantly boosted the adoption of digital payment methods, including e-wallets, but the factors influencing their continued use beyond the pandemic, particularly in Malaysia, remain insufficiently examined. This conceptual study proposes an integrated framework that combines the Technology Continuance Theory (TCT) with the Health Belief Model (HBM) to better understand Malaysians’ ongoing intention to use e-wallets post-pandemic. Through an extensive review of the literature, this framework explores critical factors such as confirmation, perceived ease of use, perceived usefulness, perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, satisfaction, and attitude, and their impact on sustained usage behavior. The model emphasizes the interplay of both technological features and health-related perceptions in shaping user decisions in a post-COVID environment. The insights derived offer practical implications for policymakers and e-wallet service providers aiming to improve user retention and advance cashless payment adoption. Additionally, this framework lays the groundwork for future empirical studies to test and expand knowledge of e-wallet continuance in Malaysia and comparable emerging markets. By explicitly integrating health belief constructs with technology adoption theories, this study contributes a fresh theoretical perspective to the digital payment literature

Abstract

In Malaysia’s competitive food delivery market, understanding factors that drive users’ continued platform use is essential. This study investigates the determinants influencing users’ continuance usage intention toward ShopeeFood in Malaysia by integrating perceived ease of use, perceived convenience, perceived usefulness, perceived value, and social influence into an extended technology acceptance model (TAM). A quantitative cross-sectional survey was conducted among 150 respondents, and data were analyzed using multiple regression via SPSS version 26. The results reveal that perceived value (? = 0.600, p 0.001) is the most influential predictor of social influence, followed by perceived usefulness (? = 0.277, p 0.01). In contrast, perceived ease of use (? = –0.245, p 0.01) shows a negative association with social influence, while perceived convenience has no significant effect. For continuance usage intention, both perceived value (? = 0.554, p 0.001) and social influence (? = 0.338, p 0.001) significantly predict ongoing usage, explaining 77% of the variance (R² = 0.770; F = 96.343, p 0.001). These findings extend the TAM by emphasizing the dominant roles of perceived value and social influence in sustaining behavioral intention, while ease of use and convenience emerge as baseline expectations in the post-adoption stage

Abstract

Customer satisfaction has become a crucial determinant of success and sustainability for low-cost airlines in Southeast Asia, particularly in the post-pandemic era. This study aims to analyze how service quality dimensions (tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy) influence passenger satisfaction within the low-cost aviation sector. A quantitative research design was employed using survey data collected from 175 AirAsia passengers. Data were analyzed through descriptive and multiple regression analysis. The model explains 42.5% of the variance in customer satisfaction (R² = 0.425), confirming the significant role of service quality in shaping passenger perceptions. Regression results reveal that empathy (? = 0.265, p 0.001) is the most influential factor, followed by tangibility (? = 0.233, p = 0.002) and reliability (? = 0.165, p = 0.047). Assurance (? = 0.159, p = 0.032) also exerts a positive, albeit smaller, effect. These findings affirm the applicability of the SERVQUAL model in the aviation context and underscore the strategic importance of improving interpersonal engagement, operational reliability, and service consistency. The study contributes theoretically by validating SERVQUAL in a cost-sensitive market and practically by offering insights to enhance passenger satisfaction in low-cost airlines

Abstract

Online food delivery platforms have significantly transformed customer experiences in Malaysia, particularly during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study aims to examine the key determinants influencing customer satisfaction toward Foodpanda services in Malaysia. A quantitative research design was employed, and data were collected from 200 respondents through an online survey. Using multiple linear regression with SPSS, the results indicate that trust (? = 0.318, p 0.001), perceived usefulness (? = 0.293, p 0.001), and price fairness (? = 0.292, p 0.001) have significant positive effects on customer satisfaction. Meanwhile, convenience (? = 0.013) and service quality (? = 0.061) show no significant influence. The model demonstrates strong explanatory power, with R² = 0.788 and an F-statistic of 149.272 (p 0.001). These findings highlight that customer satisfaction in online food delivery is primarily driven by trust, perceived usefulness, and fair pricing. The study extends the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and offers managerial implications for enhancing digital service reliability, platform security, and pricing transparency.

Abstract

Drawing on service-dominant logic and the framework of stimulus-organism-response, our study investigates the mechanisms through which service attributes influence customer satisfaction in health and beauty retail. Analysis of survey data from 99 Watsons Malaysia customers reveals that staff behavior directly influences both perceived service quality and customer satisfaction, while service accessibility shapes satisfaction primarily through customer emotional responses and perceived service quality. The findings demonstrate the distinct pathways through which different service attributes contribute to satisfaction outcomes, with both cognitive and emotional responses playing crucial mediating roles. This study advances service management theory by illuminating the complex mechanisms underlying customer satisfaction formation and provides practical guidance for retail managers in designing effective service improvement initiatives. The results highlight the importance of considering both direct and indirect pathways when developing service enhancement strategies in health and beauty retail contexts.

Abstract

The imbalance between Indonesia’s rising crude oil consumption and declining domestic production poses risks to sustainable economic growth and energy security. This study analyzes the long- and short-run effects of domestic crude oil prices, manufacturing sector value added, and GDP per capita on Indonesia’s crude oil consumption from 1983 to 2023 using the Error Correction Model (ECM), with annual data sourced from BP Statistical Review 2024 and the World Bank 2024. Long-run results indicate that manufacturing value added (p = 0.0000) and GDP per capita (p = 0.0000) significantly influence crude oil consumption, while domestic crude oil prices (p = 0.6800) are insignificant. In the short run, all three variables significantly affect consumption (p 0.05), with domestic crude oil prices and GDP per capita exerting positive effects and manufacturing value added exhibiting a negative effect. The error-correction coefficient of –0.2643 indicates a moderate adjustment toward long-term equilibrium. These findings demonstrate that economic growth and industrial value creation are primary drivers of energy demand, whereas price mechanisms remain less effective under government subsidies. Policy recommendations include enhancing energy efficiency, promoting industrial modernization, restructuring fuel-subsidy allocations, and investing in renewable energy to reduce oil dependence and support sustainable growth.

Abstract

The worsening environmental degradation has encouraged a shift in public behavior toward adopting a green lifestyle, which in turn affects consumption patterns, including decisions to purchase organic food. This study aims to analyze the influence of a green lifestyle on organic food purchasing decisions using the Behavioral Reasoning Theory (BRT) framework. A quantitative method was applied through a survey of 200 respondents knowledgeable about organic food, with data analyzed using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The results reveal that Reason For has a significant positive effect on purchase decisions (T = 4.467; p 0.001), indicating that stronger supporting reasons, such as health consciousness and environmental concern, enhance consumers’ likelihood of buying organic food. In contrast, Reason Against shows no significant effect (T = 0.856; p = 0.392), suggesting that barriers such as high prices or limited availability do not substantially discourage purchase intentions. These findings underscore the importance of emphasizing the positive value and sustainability aspects of organic products in marketing strategies to strengthen consumer engagement in green consumption behavior.

Abstract

Entrepreneurship among university students plays a crucial role in fostering innovation and economic development; however, many aspiring young entrepreneurs face significant barriers that limit their inclination to start a business. This study aims to identify and analyze the primary factors that hinder entrepreneurial inclination among Malaysian undergraduates. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 100 students through purposive sampling and analyzed using descriptive and regression analysis. The results reveal that fear of failure is the only barrier that significantly influences entrepreneurial inclination (? = 0.30, p = 0.01), while aversion to stress and hard work (? = -0.02, p = 0.10), risk aversion (? = -0.20, p = 0.19), lack of social networking (? = -0.06, p = 0.11), and lack of resources (? = 0.16, p = 0.13) show no significant effects. These findings suggest that psychological factors, particularly the perception of failure, play a more decisive role than structural constraints. The study provides theoretical contributions to behavioral models of entrepreneurship and offers practical implications for universities and policymakers to design programs that strengthen psychological resilience and entrepreneurial readiness among students.

Abstract

Financial distress poses a serious threat to Indonesia’s property and real estate sector, requiring reliable prediction models to prevent bankruptcy and maintain economic stability. This study compares the predictive accuracy of four classical financial distress models (Altman Z-Score, Zmijewski X-Score, Springate S-Score, and Grover G-Score) using data from 30 IDX-listed firms (150 observations) from 2020 to 2024. A quantitative approach was applied through descriptive statistics, Kolmogorov-Smirnov normality tests, Kruskal-Wallis, and Mann-Whitney U tests, with cash flow patterns as the benchmark of financial distress. The results show significant differences among the models (p0.001), confirming H1, with the Zmijewski X-Score achieving the highest accuracy (79%), followed by Altman (76%), Grover (72%), and Springate (29%). The Zmijewski model’s logistic regression approach and emphasis on leverage make it the most effective predictor for firms in volatile market conditions, supporting H2. These findings highlight that model performance depends on economic context, emphasizing the need for continuous validation in emerging markets. The Zmijewski X-Score offers practical value for investors, managers, and policymakers in strengthening financial resilience and early distress detection.
