Abstract

The objective of this research is to examine the relationship between leadership styles and employee motivation in the context of contemporary management. This research employs a literature review approach to analyse various leadership theories, including transformational, transactional, autocratic, democratic, laissez-faire, and servant leadership. Each leadership style is evaluated in relation to employees' intrinsic and extrinsic motivation. The findings indicate that transformational and democratic leadership styles have the most significant influence on employees' intrinsic motivation, whereas transactional and autocratic leadership styles emphasize extrinsic motivation. This study contributes to contemporary management literature by providing insights into the importance of tailoring leadership styles to employees' motivational needs to achieve optimal performance.

Abstract

Asting, a condition characterized by low body weight in toddlers, has a prevalence of 28.94% in Martapura Timur District. This study aimed to explore the relationship between income, food availability, and consumption patterns as factors contributing to wasting among toddlers aged 12-59 months. Using a Cross-Sectional design, data were collected from 45 purposively sampled toddlers through questionnaires, food availability forms, and food frequency forms. Spearman Rank correlation (α=0.05) was employed for data analysis. Findings revealed that most mothers were under 20 or over 35 years old, with junior high school education and predominantly unemployed. Male toddlers were slightly more prevalent, with 82.2% classified as wasting and 17.8% in severe wasting. Low family income (below the minimum wage) was common (71.1%), and food availability ranged from insufficient to barely sufficient. Consumption patterns were largely suboptimal (64.4%), with staple food intake (<150 g/day) limited to rice and corn, animal protein (50 g/day) from eggs only, plant protein (<40 g/day) primarily from tofu, and minimum vegetable consumption (30 g/week of pumpkin, 1-3 times weekly). Statistical analysis indicated significant relationships between family income (p=0.048, r=0.296), food availability (p=0.048, r=0.296), and consumption patterns (ρ=0.002, r=0.455) with wasting. The strongest relationship was found in food availability. Efforts are being made to increase awareness through health centers, encouraging mothers to utilize home yards for food production, enhancing food availability, and improving children's diets. Addressing these factors can help reduce the prevalence of wasting and promote better nutrition in toddlers.

Abstract

This research discusses the Analysis of Short-Term Funding with Mudharabah Agreements at Indonesian Sharia Banks (Study at the Jambi Gatot Subroto Branch Office Sharia Bank). The aim of this research is to describe the causes of the decline in the level of mudharabah financing in 2020 and the reasons why short-term funding in mudharbah contracts is less banking friendly due to the complexity and many requirements for MSMEs. This research is field research using descriptive qualitative methods. Data collection involves observation, interviews and documentation. Test the validity of this research using triangulation techniques. The subjects in this research were Bank Syariah Indonesia Jambi Gatot Subroto Branch Office. The results of this research show that there are two factors causing the decline in mudharabah financing in 2020, namely internal and external factors, internal factors include ineffective risk management, inefficient operational management, and declining service quality. External factors include the COVID-19 pandemic and the unreliability of customers in mudhrabah financing. The factors that cause short-term funding at Bank Syariah Indonesia Jambi Gatot Subroto Branch Office to be less banking friendly towards MSMEs are internal factors including fairly strict risk policies, complicated requirements, and a lack of understanding about MSMEs. External factors include a lack of support infrastructure such as providing business training with short-term funding.

Abstract

This research is focused on small businesses, as the growth of small businesses is a source of economic income in the Ponorogo City sub-district. The sales profit generated by small businesses each month is still relatively small and often decreases. These conditions reflect that the ability to generate profits in small businesses has not shown an increase in sales profit. This study aims to analyze the effect of financial inclusion, financial literacy, and fintech on small business profitability, with financial behavior as an intervening variable and financial quotient as a moderating variable, in the Ponorogo City District. The study sample consisted of 112 small businesses in the Ponorogo City District. The study employed the Smart Partial Least Square (PLS) method with an outer model and inner model test analysis. The results of this study indicate that financial inclusion has a significant effect on profitability, financial inclusion has a significant effect on financial behavior, financial literacy has a significant effect on profitability, financial literacy has no significant effect on financial behavior, fintech has no significant effect on profitability, fintech has a significant effect on financial behavior, financial behavior has a significant effect on profitability, and financial quotient cannot moderate the effect of financial inclusion on profitability. The moderating effect of financial quotient on the relationship between financial inclusion and financial behavior, financial inclusion and profitability, financial literacy and financial behavior, financial literacy and profitability, and fintech and profitability was not significant.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of macroeconomic indicators, investment decisions, capital, risk profile, earnings, and corporate governance on stock returns in banking companies in Indonesia using the SEM-PLS method. The research results show that macroeconomic indicators (inflation, exchange rate, and interest rate) do not significantly affect stock returns either through risk profile or earnings. But if the macroeconomic variables are tested without mediation variables and directly on stock returns, they have a significant impact.In addition, investment decision indicators (current asset ratio and total asset growth), capital indicators (capital adequacy ratio and debt equity ratio), as well as risk profile indicators (non-performing loan and loan deposit ratio) also do not have a significant impact on stock returns. Similarly, the earning indicators (ROA, ROE, and NIM) and good corporate governance (board of directors and number of commissioners) do not show a significant influence on stock returns. These findings indicate that external factors and other variables are more dominant in influencing stock returns in banking companies in Indonesia.

Abstract

PT PLN (Persero) Project Management Center or called (PLN Pusmanpro) in carrying out its activities managing electricity project management, both power plant projects, transmission, substations and rehabilitation projects, opens opportunities for its employees to innovate in the fields of technology and information systems. The problems that arise in the implementation of the use of the Assignment Monitoring and Reporting System (SIMPP) are that the implementation of this application has been running since 2015 and is still using the old version, then there is no indicator that the use of SIMPP can provide work enthusiasm for employees, because the development of the use of information technology is rapidly changing and increasingly sophisticated, and the level of employee communication and innovation is still relatively poor because there are still limitations to the features in this SIMPP application. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of upskilling, communication and digital capability on employee performance with innovation as an intervening variable. This study uses a quantitative method with primary data sources obtained from distributing questionnaires. The population of this study were all employees at PLN Pusmanpro. The selection of respondents was carried out using the saturated non-probability sampling method with a total of 126 respondents. The data analysis method uses descriptive analysis and SEM-PLS analysis. The results of the study indicate that the variables of upskilling, communication and digital capability have a positive and significant effect on employee performance through employee innovation at PT PLN Pusmanpro.
