Abstract

This study examines the relationship between infrastructure investment and regional economic growth in emerging economies using panel data analysis from 2000-2020. Objectives: To empirically analyze the direct and indirect effects of infrastructure capital stock on economic growth performance across emerging market economies. Methods: We employ a quantitative methodology utilizing panel data econometrics with fixed effects, random effects, and dynamic GMM estimators based on an extended Cobb-Douglas production function framework incorporating infrastructure capital as a third input factor. The sample comprises 45 emerging economies with comprehensive data on GDP per capita, physical capital, human capital, and infrastructure investment indicators. Results: Our findings demonstrate a statistically significant positive relationship between infrastructure investment and economic growth, with an estimated elasticity of 0.24-0.31. The analysis reveals substantial heterogeneity across regions and infrastructure types, with transport and telecommunications infrastructure exhibiting stronger growth effects than water and energy infrastructure. Dynamic models confirm both short-term and long-term positive effects, with infrastructure investment contributing 1.2-1.8 percentage points to annual GDP growth. Conclusions: Infrastructure investment serves as a critical driver of regional economic growth in emerging economies, supporting endogenous growth theory predictions. The results suggest that strategic infrastructure development policies can enhance economic performance, particularly when combined with improvements in institutional quality and human capital development.

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of talent management and knowledge management on the Innovative performance of teachers at Sekolah Dasar Islam Terpadu (SDIT) YAA BUNAYYA Gresik. Teachers play a crucial role in determining the quality of educational resources, and their innovative performance is vital for advancing educational quality. Innovative performance involves the application of new practices and ideas to enhance education, which is heavily dependent on effective management strategies within the organization. Effective management to boost teachers' innovative performance includes the enhancement of both knowledge management and talent management. Knowledge management refers to the systematic processes of creating, acquiring, sharing, and utilizing knowledge to foster organizational learning and improve performance. When effectively implemented, it can lead to the generation of new ideas that drive innovation within educational institutions. On the other hand, talent management encompasses a range of human resource management activities aimed at processing and retaining the organization's human capital to maximize their output. This study uses a sample of 35 principals and teachers from SDIT YAA BUNAYYA Gresik, applying the census method for data collection. Path analysis, supported by Partial Least Square (PLS) software, is employed to analyze the data. The results reveal that both talent management and knowledge management have a positive and significant influence on teachers' innovation performance. These findings underscore the importance of talent management and knowledge management as key factors in enhancing teachers' innovation performance. For schools to optimize these aspects, they should focus on identifying, developing, and retaining teacher talent through systematic talent management processes. Additionally, schools should promote knowledge management practices, such as knowledge sharing, organizational learning, and the effective use of information technology. In conclusion, improving teachers' innovation performance can be achieved comprehensively through the strategic management of talent and knowledge.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of environmental uncertainty, company size, and strategic changes on financial performance and company value in manufacturing companies in the food and beverage sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020-2022 period. With a quantitative approach using SEM-PLS, this study analyzed 111 data from 37 companies based on financial statements and annual reports. The results show that environmental uncertainty does not have a significant influence on financial performance or company value, either directly or through financial performance mediation. In contrast, the size of the company has a significant influence on the company's financial performance and value, reflecting the stability and attractiveness of large companies in the eyes of investors. However, strategic changes do not have a significant effect on financial performance or company value, either directly or through financial performance as a mediator. In addition, the implementation of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) also does not mediate the relationship between financial performance and company value significantly. These findings underscore the importance of company size and financial performance as key determinants of company value in the stock market, while environmental uncertainty and strategic changes require further study to understand their impact.
