Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of accountability and transparency in local government financial reports on the achievement of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 11, specifically the indicator of access to decent and affordable housing in Indonesia. The study used panel data from 31 provinces during the 2021–2024 period with a total of 124 observations. The research data were obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS), the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK), and official local government websites related to the publication of financial reports. Data analysis was conducted using the Generalized Least Squares (GLS) method with a Random Effect Model (REM) approach. The results of the study indicate that accountability has a positive and significant effect on the achievement of SDG 11. These findings indicate that accountable regional financial management can increase the effectiveness of housing and settlement development programs. Transparency also has a positive and significant effect on the achievement of SDG 11, with a stronger effect than accountability. Openness of financial information encourages public oversight of regional budget use and increases the efficiency of development program implementation. The results of simultaneous testing indicate that accountability and transparency together have a significant effect on the achievement of the indicator of access to decent and affordable housing. The research findings support the theory of good governance, which places accountability and transparency as essential elements in improving the quality of local government governance. This study provides an empirical contribution regarding the relationship between local government financial governance and the achievement of sustainable settlement development in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study examines the implementation of the Quality Control Circle (QCC) system to enhance employee engagement and productivity at Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) headquarters and its Indonesian branch. As a global leader in lithium-ion battery manufacturing, CATL integrates innovative technology with employee participation to improve work processes and operational performance. QCC is applied as a structured approach that empowers employees to identify workplace problems, develop solutions, and collaborate in continuous improvement activities using quality management tools and the PDCA cycle. The research employs a case study and comparative analysis method to explore differences between the standardized QCC system at CATL headquarters and the more flexible, localized implementation in Indonesia. The study involved permanent employees from both organizations using saturated sampling, with a total of 10 respondents. In addition, a five-day productivity training program was conducted in China and Karawang through lectures, case studies, and project-based learning, evaluated using pre-test and post-test assessments. The findings indicate that QCC significantly improves employee understanding of productivity management, strengthens communication, enhances product quality, reduces quality-related costs, and increases employee engagement, motivation, and organizational commitment in both operational environments

Abstract

The expansion of digital financial services has contributed to the increasing adoption of digital wallet applications such as OVO in community transaction activities. In this context, the decision to use an application is determined not simply through system-related technical aspects, alongside psychological and operational considerations. This research focuses on examining the influence of the accounting information system quality, user trust, and service quality on the decision to use the OVO application in Surabaya City. Primary data were used in this study, which employed a quantitative approach. Purposive sampling was applied to obtain 100 respondents. The data were gathered through online questionnaires distributed via Google Forms to OVO users in Surabaya City and then analyzed using SPSS Statistics 26. This study involved respondents who were users of the OVO e-wallet in Surabaya City. The results demonstrate that the quality of the accounting information system, user trust, and service quality contribute positively to the decision to use the OVO application in Surabaya City. The use decision regarding the OVO application in Surabaya City is driven by the interplay of sound system quality, strong user trust, and sufficient service quality.

Abstract

Influencer marketing has emerged as a dominant strategy within the digital marketing landscape, particularly in the Indonesian beauty industry. This study investigates how consumers in Makassar City develop and sustain trust in influencer-based marketing content on social media platforms. Employing a qualitative descriptive approach, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 purposively selected participants who actively consume beauty content on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis encompassing open coding, axial coding, and selective coding procedures. The findings reveal five core themes: (1) authenticity as the primary driver of trust formation; (2) the negative impact of excessive commercialization on perceived credibility; (3) the role of influencer expertise and product knowledge in legitimizing recommendations; (4) parasocial relationships as amplifiers of emotional attachment and brand loyalty; and (5) consumer skepticism as an emerging critical evaluation strategy. The study demonstrates that trust remains the central mediating variable linking influencer characteristics to purchase intentions. Consumers exhibit nuanced evaluation behaviors, distinguishing between genuine advocacy and sponsored content. The research contributes theoretically by integrating Source Credibility Theory, Parasocial Interaction Theory, and the Trust-Commitment Theory within the influencer marketing context. Managerially, the findings suggest that brands should prioritize authentic, transparent, and expertise-driven influencer collaborations rather than high-volume promotional campaigns.

Abstract

The rapid integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into organizational systems has transformed workplace dynamics, employee responsibilities, and patterns of human labor. Although AI implementation improves operational efficiency and productivity, it also creates psychological and professional challenges for employees adapting to technological change. This study aims to explore the lived experiences, emotional responses, and adaptation strategies of employees in South Sulawesi companies undergoing AI-driven digital transformation. This research employed a qualitative phenomenological approach. Data were collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews with 20 participants from the banking, manufacturing, retail, technology, and service sectors in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Participants were selected using purposive sampling based on direct exposure to AI systems and a minimum of 1.5 years of work experience. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify recurring patterns and meanings related to employee adaptation. The findings revealed six major themes: AI as a tool for improving efficiency and productivity, fear of job displacement and career uncertainty, the importance of continuous learning and digital skill development, the role of organizational support and leadership communication, the emergence of human–AI collaboration, and varied psychological responses to technological change. Employees who received organizational support and training demonstrated greater adaptability and confidence in responding to AI implementation. The study emphasizes the importance of human-centered change management strategies that prioritize psychological safety, transparent communication, and continuous digital training. This research contributes to the limited phenomenological literature on AI adaptation in Indonesia and provides practical implications for human resource management and organizational behavior in the era of digital transformation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of digital payments and its influence on the strategies and financial management skills of students of the Faculty of Economics and Business, Management Study Program, State University of Makassar. The study used a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey method of 19 respondents who were selected purposively through an online questionnaire. Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, correlation tests, and multiple linear regression. The results showed that the level of use of digital payments by students was in the high category, but did not have a significant effect on financial management skills. On the other hand, financial management strategies have a positive and significant effect on students' financial management skills. These findings show that the use of digital payments does not necessarily improve financial management capabilities without being supported by an adequate financial management strategy, so strengthening financial management strategies and financial literacy is an important aspect in the optimal use of digital payments.
