Abstract

This study analyzes the interconnections among transformational leadership, safety culture, and safety behavior at PT Cipta Kridatama Site PT Borneo Indobara, a high-risk mining operation. The research, framed by theoretical views like the Theory of Planned Behavior and Hudson’s Safety Culture Maturity Model, underscores the pivotal role of leadership in cultivating a proactive safety culture and impacting safety behavior. This research aims to assess the direct and indirect impacts of transformational safety leadership on safety behavior, with safety culture serving as a mediating variable. The research used Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to examine quantitative data obtained from employee surveys, assessing leadership techniques, cultural characteristics, and behavioral results. The results indicate that transformational safety leadership exerts a substantial and robust impact on safety culture, evidenced by a coefficient of 0.923, a t-statistic of 72.438, and an effect size of 5.765. The safety culture markedly affects safety behavior, evidenced by a coefficient of 0.495, a t-statistic of 5.920, and an effect size of 0.180. Transformational safety leadership has a moderate direct influence on safety behavior (coefficient: 0.417, t-statistic: 4.977, effect size: 0.127) in comparison to its effect on safety culture. Moreover, safety culture mediates the connection between transformational leadership and safety behavior, evidenced by a mediation coefficient of 0.457, a t-statistic of 5.863, and an impact size of 0.180, underscoring its crucial function in converting leadership into behavioral results. The research emphasizes the necessity of combining transformational leadership methods with initiatives to foster a strong safety culture. Recommendations involve augmenting leadership training to integrate safety-oriented practices and executing cultural alignment techniques to maintain proactive safety habits. These insights enhance safety management techniques in high-risk sectors, foster safer workplaces, and improve overall operational outcomes.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of digital work flexibility and work-life balance on employee commitment and its impact on public service efficiency at the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Surabaya City. Using a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional design, data were collected from 115 civil servants through a structured questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using regression and mediation tests via Python-based statistical tools. The results indicate that both digital work flexibility and work-life balance significantly influence employee commitment. Furthermore, employee commitment fully mediates the relationship between the two independent variables and public service efficiency. This means that any improvements in work flexibility and balance will only lead to enhanced service performance if they are able to foster stronger employee commitment. The study highlights the importance of adaptive and human-centered work arrangements in improving service delivery in public sector institutions. These findings have practical implications for the design of flexible work policies and underscore the strategic role of psychological commitment in the effectiveness of digital transformation in public administration.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally transformed organizational landscapes, accelerating digital transformation initiatives and highlighting the critical importance of organizational agility. This study examines the relationship between strategic leadership, digital transformation, and organizational agility in the Indonesian business context during the post-pandemic era. Using a mixed-methods approach combining quantitative surveys (n=284) with qualitative in-depth interviews (n=32), this research investigates how strategic leadership capabilities facilitate digital transformation and enhance organizational agility. The study employs transformational leadership theory, upper echelons theory, and dynamic capabilities framework to understand the mechanisms through which leadership drives organizational change. Findings reveal that strategic leadership significantly mediates the relationship between digital transformation initiatives and organizational agility, with Indonesian organizations demonstrating unique adaptation patterns influenced by cultural and contextual factors. The research contributes to leadership and organizational change literature by providing empirical evidence of how strategic leaders navigate digital transformation challenges while building organizational resilience. Practical implications suggest that organizations must develop adaptive leadership capabilities, invest in digital literacy, and create flexible organizational structures to thrive in the post-pandemic business environment.

Abstract

The digital era has brought about significant transformation in the accounting profession, offering greater convenience, efficiency, and accuracy through technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, blockchain, and automation. However, these technological developments have also given rise to complex ethical challenges, particularly in terms of financial statement integrity, data security, and transparency. This study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities faced by the accounting profession in building and maintaining professional ethics amidst advances in digital technology. Based on the literature review, the main challenges faced by accountants include data privacy and security issues, the potential for misuse of technology to manipulate financial statements, and the loss of subjective elements of professionalism due to automation. On the other hand, technology also provides opportunities to increase transparency of financial statements, strengthen supervision and audits, and enrich accountants' competencies in deeper data analysis. This study suggests the importance of ethics training that is more relevant to technological developments, as well as the wise use of technology to strengthen the principles of accountability and integrity in the accounting profession. The findings of this study are expected to provide insight for practitioners, educators, and policy makers in creating a more professional and ethical work environment in the world of digital accounting.
