Abstract

Research Aims: Analyze the factors that influence the use of Linktree using UTAUT theory. This research analyzes Performance Expectancy, Effort Expectancy, Social Influence, and Facilitating Conditions, Behavioral Intention and Use Behavior in using Linktree by customers. Design/Methodology/Approach: This research examines construction companies that were founded in 2012. Researchers used a sample of 119 customers using Stratified Random Sampling. The analytical method used in this research is UTAUT. Research Findings: Findings show that Performance Expectancy and Effort Expectancy do not have a significant influence on Linktree's Behavioral Intention or Use Behavior. On the other hand, Social Influence and Facilitating Conditions have a significant impact on these two variables. Social Influence influences Behavioral Intention and Use Behavior due to recommendations and social norms received by users. Facilitating Conditions plays an important role in supporting the use of Linktree through the availability of adequate infrastructure and technical support. Apart from that, Behavioral Intention is the most significant factor in determining usage behavior. And the influence of Facilitating Conditions on Behavioral Intention is strengthened when mediated by Use Behavior. Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This research provides a theoretical contribution to the understanding of factors influencing the acceptance and use of new technologies in the context of small and medium-sized companies. Practitioners/Policy Implications: Companies should focus on practical benefits that customers gain, such as easy access to various important links on one page. And considering the significant social influence, marketing strategies must be reinforced with positive testimonials from satisfied customers. Research Limitations/Implications: Companies must focus on the practical benefits of using Linktree, strengthen social influence- based marketing strategies through customer testimonials and recommendations, and ensure conditions that facilitate use remain optimal with adequate infrastructure and technical support.

Abstract

The objective of this study is to assess the financial performance of XYZ Bank through the lens of the balanced scorecard approach. The research method employed is qualitative, with data drawn from the annual reports of the banks in question for the period spanning 2020 to 2021. This period encompasses both the pre-merger and post-merger phases of Bank Syariah Indonesia. The findings of this study indicate that, from a financial perspective, the combined ROE ratio of the three Islamic banks, which has undergone a merger, is improving and includes healthy qualifications, approaching 15%. The customer perspective reveals an encouraging improvement in profitability, which is attributable to both customer migration from the predecessor bank to the merged bank and new customer growth. The merger has facilitated operating efficiency due to the synergy of the merger, leading to an increase in employee productivity, as measured by revenue. The establishment of several business unit networks represents an innovative form of internal business process, which can facilitate service delivery. The implications of this research provide a more detailed description of performance measurement using data from the company's published annual reports. Previous balance scorecard research employed survey methods in order to obtain information related to the growth and learning perspectives, as well as the customer and internal business process perspectives. In contrast, this study uses only data from the company's financial statements and annual reports.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the impact of employee productivity and operational costs on income growth at PT. Intan National Iron Industry Medan. The study uses multiple linear regression methods with a sample of annual financial reports from the past six years, which have been approved by the company leadership. The motivation for this research stems from fluctuations in income over the years, particularly during the pandemic, where a drastic decline was observed. The income generated was insufficient to cover operational costs, leading to unmet income targets and a lack of management incentives, or even company losses. The results of the study indicate that employee productivity has a positive and significant effect on income, with a T-value of 7.079 (T-value 7.079 > T-table 2.015) and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that Ha is accepted and H0 is rejected. Operational costs also have a significant impact on income, with a T-value of 3.976 (T-value 3.976 > T-table 2.015) and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, again leading to the acceptance of Ha and rejection of H0. Furthermore, the combined effect of productivity and operational costs yields an F-value of 34.852 > 4.74 with a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05. These findings demonstrate that both employee productivity and operational costs positively and significantly influence income growth at PT. Intan National Iron Industry Medan.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to identify intelligence as a proxy for worker performance at XYZ's company from an Islamic standpoint. The three types of intelligence in question are intellectual, emotional, and spiritual. Given the increasing complexity of the industry and the globalization of business, it is critical for organizations to recognize that their most valuable resource is their workforce. Utilized by XYZ's company to assist intelligence from an Islamic perspective, particularly in integrating Islamic values, this research method involves qualitative descriptive analysis. Five informants provided information during staff interviews in the operational unit responsible for human resources, education, and training. Data were also gathered through observation and documentation. The study's findings suggest that intelligence encompasses more than just cognition; it also covers other types of intelligence including emotional and spiritual intelligence. Islamic teachings place a great emphasis on the harmony between the three forms of intellect in order to develop healthy and productive persons. This allows employers to produce workers who are not only technically proficient but also possess a strong sense of social awareness and spiritual understanding.
