Abstract

This study explores the role of work motivation as a mediating factor between workload and work culture on employee performance at the UPTD Kerthi Bali Sadhajiwa Health Laboratory Center. With a population of 113 employees, a quantitative approach was employed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with a Partial Least Squares (PLS) method for data analysis. The findings indicate that both workload and work culture significantly influence work motivation and employee performance. Specifically, while workload directly impacts employee performance, it does not significantly mediate through work motivation. In contrast, work culture positively influences both work motivation and employee performance, demonstrating partial mediation. The results emphasize the importance of a supportive work environment and effective workload management to enhance employee performance. Recommendations for management include fostering a positive work culture and developing motivational strategies to sustain employee engagement and productivity

Abstract

Advances in digital technology have changed the way companies interact with consumers, including in marketing communication strategies. In the context of the highly competitive telecommunications industry, the use of digital media is one of the keys to building brand image and influencing consumer purchasing decisions. This study was conducted to specifically analyze purchase decisions as a key variable influenced by various digital marketing communication factors, namely advertising attractiveness, influencer marketing, and online customer reviews, which then shape brand image. The purpose of this study was to more specifically measure the influence of advertising attractiveness, influencer marketing, and online customer reviews on brand image, as well as their impact on purchase decisions among Telkomsel product consumers in Wonosobo Regency. This type of research is quantitative with a purposive sampling technique distributed through questionnaires to 125 respondents. Primary data analysis was conducted using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method. The results show that the independent variables of advertising attractiveness, influencer marketing, and online customer reviews significantly influence brand image, which in turn has a positive impact on purchase decisions. These findings provide important managerial implications for Telkomsel to continue optimizing digital-based marketing communication strategies, maintaining brand image consistency, and fostering customer engagement through social media. However, this study has limitations in terms of geographic coverage, focusing only on the Wonosobo region and being cross-sectional, thus not reflecting the dynamics of consumer perceptions over time. Further research is recommended to expand the study area and use a longitudinal approach to gain a deeper understanding and broader generalization of the results.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between financial performance, environmental performance, and corporate governance on sustainability disclosures (sustainability reports). Financial performance is measured using liquidity, solvency, and profitability, where as environmental performance is measured using environmental costs and the PROPER rating achieved by the company. The corporate governance variable in this study was measured through independent commissioners, audit committees, and institutional ownership. The dependent variable is sustainability disclosure (sustainability reports). This study uses a population and sample of non-cyclical sector companies that published financial statements and sustainability reports from 2021 to 2023. The sample was selected using stratified random sampling, resulting in 135 companies meeting the research criteria. Data analysis employed classical assumption testing and hypothesis testing using the least-squares method. The findings indicate that financial performance, environmental cost-related performance, and institutional ownership significantly influence sustainability reporting. In contrast, PROPER-based environmental performance, independent commissioners, and audit committees did not have a significant effect. The moderating variable, community/media pressure, did not moderate the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. These findings serve as a reference for encouraging better corporate governance practices to support environmental sustainability, thus fostering harmony in environmental preservation

Abstract

This qualitative study investigates the implementation and effectiveness of human resource management (HRM) strategies in enhancing employee engagement within Indonesian digital start-up companies. The research employed a comprehensive qualitative methodology, including semi-structured interviews with 12 participants across various roles and company sizes within the start-up ecosystem. Data collection involved in-depth interviews, thematic analysis, and examination of HRM practices through multiple lenses. The findings reveal that successful employee engagement in digital start-ups is achieved through strategic implementation of flexible work arrangements, continuous learning programs, digital communication tools, and transparent leadership practices. Key themes emerged around the importance of work-life balance, professional development opportunities, and innovation culture in driving engagement levels. The study demonstrates that start-ups with fully implemented HRM strategies, particularly those emphasizing employee autonomy and career growth, achieve significantly higher engagement scores and job satisfaction rates. Digital transformation in HRM practices, including AI-driven recruitment tools and automated performance management systems, contributes substantially to operational efficiency and employee satisfaction. The research concludes that effective HRM strategies in digital start-ups require a holistic approach that integrates technology adoption with human-centered practices, emphasizing the critical role of leadership engagement and organizational culture in fostering sustained employee commitment

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the feasibility of the Djoglo Restaurant business in South Lampung Regency from the market, marketing, and sharia financing aspects to support strategic decision making for the development of traditional culinary businesses. The study uses a qualitative approach with a case study method that was carried out for three months, with primary data obtained through in-depth interviews with owners, managers, employees, consumers, and direct observation, as well as secondary data from financial reports and internal company documents analyzed using an interactive analysis model with triangulation to ensure data validity. The results of the study indicate that the Djoglo Restaurant is very feasible to be developed from the three aspects studied, with the market aspect showing very good potential through an average of 180-220 people visiting per day, clear segmentation with a family dominance of 45%, and consumer satisfaction reaching 92% for the atmosphere of the place; the marketing aspect shows high effectiveness with sales growth of 20% per year and customer retention of 72% through an integrated marketing mix; and the sharia financing aspect shows that the musyarakah scheme with a ratio of 60:40 is the most suitable for an expansion of Rp 800 million with very positive feasibility indicators including NPV of Rp 1.24 billion, IRR of 42%, and a payback period of 2.3 years. This study provides practical contributions in the form of strategic recommendations for management in business expansion using sharia financing and optimizing marketing strategies, while enriching the literature on the feasibility of traditional culinary businesses with a sharia financing approach which is still limited in Indonesia, especially in the context of restaurants in the regions.

Abstract

The integration of environmental sustainability and financial performance has become a growing concern in emerging economies, particularly within resource-intensive sectors such as the textile industry. This study investigates how environmental performance and working capital management affect firm profitability and firm value. It also examines the mediating role of profitability in these relationships. A quantitative research design was employed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The sample consisted of 15 textile companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) from 2018 to 2023. Data were collected from audited financial statements. Variables include environmental performance, working capital management, profitability (measured by ROA), and firm value (measured by Tobin's Q). The empirical results reveal that environmental performance has a negative and significant impact on profitability but positively influences firm value. Working capital management negatively impacts profitability but does not significantly influence firm value. Furthermore, profitability does not significantly affect firm value and does not mediate the relationship between the independent variables and firm value. The findings suggest that environmental initiatives can enhance firm value independently of short-term financial gains. In the textile industry context, non-financial performance, particularly environmental responsibility, is increasingly recognized by the market, even when profitability does not improve. These findings offer useful insights for corporate managers and policymakers aiming to promote sustainability without compromising market valuation
