Abstract

This study investigates factors driving purchase intention toward reject fashion products at factory outlets in Makassar, Indonesia. Reject products garments that fail manufacturer quality control standards but are sold legally at discounted prices represent an underexplored segment of circular fashion consumption. Drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Value-Based Adoption Model, this study tests a structural model in which four antecedents defect transparency, price perception, environmental consciousness, and store reputation influence purchase intention through the mediating role of perceived value. A quantitative survey was conducted with 250 consumers who visited factory outlets in Makassar. Data were analyzed using PLS-SEM via SmartPLS 4.0. Common Method Bias was confirmed absent using Harman's Single Factor Test and Full Collinearity VIF. Results indicate that all four antecedents positively influence perceived value, which strongly predicts purchase intention. Price perception is the dominant driver, followed by store reputation, environmental consciousness, and defect transparency. Perceived value fully mediates the effect of defect transparency and partially mediates the remaining three antecedents. These findings contribute to circular fashion consumer behavior literature and offer practical guidance for factory outlet operators in Eastern Indonesia.

Abstract

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of literature (2015-2025) on Indonesian stock market resilience to Federal Reserve monetary policy shocks. Data were collected from Google Scholar using Publish or Perish 8 with relevant keywords. A total of 82 publications with 476 citations (h-index = 9) were identified. VOSviewer was used for bibliometric analysis to map keyword co-occurrence in titles and abstracts. Network visualization revealed three dominant clusters: (1) Federal Reserve monetary policy and capital flow spillovers, (2) market volatility and investor behavior, and (3) financial resilience and domestic policy responses. The overlay timeline indicated a shift from spillover and volatility issues in mid-decade to resilience topics in recent years. The literature suggests that while the Indonesian stock market remains sensitive to Fed rate changes, it has shown growing resilience due to proactive domestic policy interventions

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of corruption in moderating the influence of Village Funds, Local Own-Source Revenue (PAD), and technology represented by the Electronic-Based Government System (SPBE) index on the number of independent villages in Indonesia from 2023 to 2024. The research was conducted in 34 provinces in Indonesia, except for the provinces of DKI Jakarta, Central Papua, South Papua, and Papua Pegunungan. The study used a panel data regression model with a Fixed Effect Model approach. The results of the study show that: First, Village Funds have a positive and significant effect on increasing the number of independent villages; Second, PAD does not have a significant effect on the number of independent villages, indicating that fiscal independence of villages in Indonesia is still relatively low. Most villages still depend on transfers from the central government; Third, technology, represented by the SPBE index, has a positive and significant effect on the number of independent villages; Fourth, the moderating effect of corruption shows diverse dynamics. Corruption negatively moderates the relationship between Village Funds and independent villages, but conversely positively moderates the relationship between PAD and independent villages. Fifth, the interaction between SPBE and corruption is not proven to be significant, suggesting that the success of digitization in promoting village independence is determined more by the readiness of the technological ecosystem than solely by low levels of corruption.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the telecommunications industry, driven by increasing demand for digital services, is not always accompanied by stable financial performance due to cost pressures, competition, and infrastructure investment requirements. This condition requires companies to manage their finances effectively, making financial ratio analysis important in evaluating corporation performance. This study aims to analyze the effect of activity ratios, liquidity ratios, and solvency ratios on the financial performance of telecommunication companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2022–2024 period. This research uses a quantitative approach with a descriptive research design. The data used are secondary data obtained from financial statements. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling with 18 companies over a three-year period, resulting in 54 observations. The analysis method used is multiple linear regression with SPSS. The independent variables include activity ratio (TATO), liquidity ratio (CR), and solvency ratio (DER), while the dependent variable is financial performance (ROE). The outcome show that partially, the activity ratio does not have a substantial effect on financial performance. Meanwhile, liquidity and solvency ratios have a negative and substantial effect on financial performance. Simultaneously, all three ratios have a substantial effect on financial performance. These findings indicate that financial performance is influenced by asset management, the ability to meet obligations, and capital structure.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the differences in the financial performance of PT Pertamina Geothermal Energy Tbk before and after the disclosure of the fuel adulteration case involving its parent company. This research employs a quantitative comparative approach using quarterly financial statement data from 2024–2025. The analysis was conducted using descriptive statistics and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test. The results show that descriptively, most financial ratios experienced a decline, particularly in profitability and activity ratios, along with a decrease in liquidity and a slight increase in solvency. However, the Wilcoxon test results indicate that these changes are not statistically significant. These findings suggest that despite reputational pressure from the parent company’s crisis, the company’s financial performance remains relatively stable. The limited sample size is also considered a factor influencing the results

Abstract

This research investigates how financial literacy affects the financial behaviors of students on Lombok Island. Utilizing a quantitative methodology, the study surveyed 110 students to gather relevant data.

The conclusion emphasizes the importance of enhancing financial literacy programs to foster more responsible and informed financial practices among students. Developing such initiatives can contribute to better financial stability and decision-making skills in the future

Abstract

This study aims to explore auditors' experiences in digital auditing practices, the meaning of professional ethics, and ethical dilemmas in the context of digital disruption using a phenomenological approach. The study was conducted at a Public Accounting Firm (KAP) in Surabaya, with auditors who had experience in technology-based audits as informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, then analyzed using a phenomenological approach supported by NVivo software. The results show that digital auditing practices are still dominated by the use of simple technologies such as Microsoft Excel for data processing, analysis, and audit documentation. Although technology increases efficiency, auditors still do not fully rely on the system and still use professional judgment to maintain the reliability of audit results. Professional ethics is understood as a primary foundation that remains valid, but is reinterpreted in the digital context, particularly related to efficiency pressures and technological risks. Ethical dilemmas arise due to time constraints, incomplete data, and client demands, so auditors tend to prioritize the sufficiency of evidence and prudence in decision-making. Overall, this study concludes that digital disruption does not change the fundamental values ​​of auditors' professional ethics, but rather reconstructs their meaning through work experiences and professional interactions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of Halal Awareness and Product Knowledge on Purchase Intention and its impact on Brand Loyalty of halal cosmetic products. This research employs a quantitative approach using the accidental sampling method, where respondents consist of consumers who have purchased and used halal cosmetic products. A total of 100 respondents participated in this study. Data were collected through online questionnaires and analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method with SmartPLS 3 software. The results indicate that Halal Awareness and Product Knowledge have a positive and significant effect on Purchase Intention. Furthermore, Purchase Intention has a positive and significant effect on Brand Loyalty. Halal Awareness and Product Knowledge also have a positive and significant direct effect on Brand Loyalty. In addition, the indirect effect analysis reveals that Purchase Intention significantly mediates the influence of Halal Awareness and Product Knowledge on Brand Loyalty. These findings highlight the crucial mediating role of Purchase Intention in linking halal awareness and product knowledge with halal cosmetic brand loyalty. Therefore, halal cosmetic manufacturers are encouraged to continuously strengthen the communication of halal values ​​and product education to build strong purchase intention and drive sustainable brand loyalty.
