Abstract

This article examines the shift between accrual-based earnings management (AEM) and real earnings management (REM) in emerging market firms following the mandatory adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). Earnings management is understood as managers’ deliberate intervention in the financial reporting process, either through accounting-based judgments or through manipulation of real operating activities, with the aim of achieving private benefits or meeting contractual benchmarks. Prior research on developed countries generally suggests a substitution from AEM to REM in response to stricter accounting standards and greater scrutiny. However, evidence for emerging markets is more mixed, reflecting weaker institutional environments, differing enforcement regimes, and heterogeneity in the nature of IFRS implementation. Drawing on an interpretive qualitative research design, this study synthesises academic literature, regulatory documents, and selected empirical findings to provide a comprehensive discussion of how IFRS adoption interacts with managerial incentives, governance structures, and enforcement mechanisms in shaping the trade-off between AEM and REM. Particular attention is paid to the possibility that IFRS, especially when adopted in modified form, may unintentionally encourage greater reliance on accrual-based discretion while constraining visible real activities manipulation. The analysis concludes that the direction of the shift between AEM and REM is context-dependent and mediated by institutional quality, enforcement intensity, and firm-level characteristics, with important implications for regulators, auditors, and investors in emerging markets

Abstract

Intensifying competition in the fast-food industry compels companies to focus not only on product quality but also on creating a restaurant atmosphere that delivers a positive customer experience and satisfaction. This study aims to analyze the impact of restaurant atmospherics on customer experience, customer satisfaction, and repurchase intention, as well as to examine the mediating roles of customer experience and satisfaction. A quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) was employed. The sample consisted of 100 Richeese Factory customers in Jakarta aged 18–55 and having visited at least twice in the last two months selected via purposive sampling. The results indicate that restaurant atmosphere is associated with customer experience, customer satisfaction, and repurchase intention; furthermore, customer experience and satisfaction are linked to repurchase intention. Key findings reveal that the direct impact of restaurant atmosphere on customer satisfaction is the most dominant, while customer experience serves as the strongest mediator in the relationship between restaurant atmosphere and repurchase intention. This suggests that a comfortable, clean, and appealing restaurant atmosphere enhances customer experience and satisfaction, ultimately driving the intention to revisit. The study recommends that Richeese Factory maintain the quality of its restaurant atmosphere, improve service consistency, and sustain customer satisfaction to strengthen loyalty. Future research is advised to expand the geographical scope, examine different restaurant brands, and incorporate additional variables that may influence repurchase intention to achieve more comprehensive results.

Abstract

Capital structure is a crucial financial decision for companies because it relates to business sustainability and financial risk, particularly in the oil and gas sector, which is characterized by capital intensity and high volatility. This study aims to analyze the effect of Equity Market Timing (EMT), Growth Opportunity (GO), Asset Tangibility (AT), and Profitability (ROA) on capital structure, as proxied by the Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), in oil and gas companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2021–2024 period. The study used secondary data with a purposive sampling method, resulting in a sample of 19 companies with a total of 76 observations. The analysis was conducted using panel data regression with the assistance of EViews software. The selection of the best model through the Chow Test and the Hausman Test indicated that the Fixed Effect Model (FEM) was the most appropriate model. The partial test results showed that EMT had a significant positive effect on capital structure, while AT and ROA had a significant negative effect. Meanwhile, GO had no significant effect on capital structure. Simultaneously, all independent variables had a significant effect on capital structure. This finding confirms that the funding policies of oil and gas companies are influenced by strategic equity, asset characteristics, and the company's level of profitability.

Abstract

The increasing attention to climate change and sustainability issues is driving the development of electric vehicles as a more environmentally friendly transportation alternative. However, the adoption rate of electric vehicles in Indonesia still faces various challenges, so it is necessary to understand the factors that can shape consumer purchase intentions. This study aims to analyze the role of environmental awareness and the green marketing mix in shaping the purchase intention of millennials regarding electric vehicles in Jakarta. This study uses a quantitative approach with a purposive sampling technique by distributing questionnaires to 180 millennial respondents in Jakarta. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that all proposed hypotheses are acceptable. Environmental awareness is the most dominant factor in shaping purchase intentions. In addition, the green marketing mix also contributes to shaping purchase intentions, although green price has the lowest contribution compared to other variables. These findings indicate that millennials not only consider the price aspect, but also pay more attention to environmental benefits, product characteristics, ease of access to infrastructure, and the effectiveness of green marketing communications before developing the intention to own an electric vehicle. This research offers practical implications for electric vehicle manufacturers and stakeholders in designing integrated green marketing strategies through increased environmental education, sustainable product development, and the provision of supporting infrastructure. Future research is recommended to expand the scope of the study, involve a wider range of respondent characteristics, and add other relevant variables to gain a more comprehensive understanding of purchase intentions for electric vehicles

Abstract

Tax Avoidance is a company's effort to minimize its tax burden by utilizing tax regulations within the legal framework. This practice is a concern because it can affect state revenues and reflect financial policies and corporate governance. This study aims to analyze the influence of Financial Distress, Audit Committees, and Independent Commissioners on Tax Avoidance, proxied by CETR, in transportation and logistics companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2022–2025 period, with Firm Size and Leverage as control variables. The study used secondary data with a purposive sampling method, resulting in a sample of 23 companies with a total of 92 observations. Data analysis was performed using panel data regression with E-Views 13 software. The selection of the best model through the Chow Test, Hausman Test, and Lagrange Multiplier Test indicated that the Random Effect Model (REM) was the most appropriate model. The partial test results showed that Financial Distress had a significant effect on Tax Avoidance, while the Audit Committee and Independent Commissioners did not have a significant effect on Tax Avoidance. The findings of this study indicate that tax avoidance practices in transportation and logistics companies are more influenced by the company's financial condition than by Good Corporate Governance mechanisms, as proxied by the Audit Committee and Independent Commissioners. The results of this study are expected to serve as a reference for company management, investors, and regulators in understanding the factors influencing tax avoidance practices and supporting more effective decision making regarding tax policy and corporate governance.

Abstract

The increasingly competitive nature of the banking industry compels companies to maintain high-quality employee performance amidst intense pressure to meet work targets and the dynamics of the modern workplace. This environment drives companies to look beyond corporate achievements and prioritize employee wellbeing, job satisfaction, and psychological health to ensure sustainable productivity. This study aims to analyze the impact of well-being-oriented HRM and workload on job satisfaction, burnout, and employee performance. A quantitative approach was employed, using purposive sampling to survey 115 permanent employees in the marketing division of a state-owned bank in Jakarta. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software. The results indicate that well-being-oriented HRM and job satisfaction have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. On the other hand, workload does not have a significant effect on employee performance. Meanwhile, burnout was found to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Collectively, the independent variables Wellbeing oriented HRM, workload, job satisfaction, and burnout) influence employee performance. The study demonstrates that employee performance is shaped not only by work demands but also by the company's ability to foster well-being and a supportive work environment. These findings offer practical implications for banking companies regarding the design of human resource management strategies that prioritize employee well-being and workload management to sustain performance quality. Future research is encouraged to expand the geographical and sectoral scope and incorporate additional variables to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing employee performance.
