Abstract

The increasing risk of bankruptcy that occurs in the textile industry today is a result of macroeconomic pressures, such as decreased demand and inflation, which has resulted in 7 textile companies closing and 8 companies making efficiency. The intent of this study is to investigate the effect of financial ratios such as profitability ratios, operational ratios, and liquidity ratios on the level of financial distress as measured by the Grover model (G-Score), as well as to develop a financial ratio-based risk prediction model. The study methodology employs a positivist perspective, a quantitative approach, secondary data, and a purposive sampling procedure. The data were analyzed using the IBM SPSS 26 tool, which included descriptive statistical tests, classical assumptions, multiple regression, and hypothesis testing. The profitability ratio, operational ratio, and liquidity ratio were found to have a 79.5% influence on the extent of financial distress. Each ratio has a substantial impact on the level of financial difficulty. This study adds theoretically to signaling theory regarding the financial ratios as indications of bankruptcy risk. Practically, this model can be an early detection tool for bankruptcy risk, assist in the preparation of risk mitigation strategies, and increase investment attractiveness in the Indonesian textile industry.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of competency certification in supporting the career continuity of Indonesian Migrant Workers (IMWs) in host countries. Mandated by Law No. 18 of 2017, competency certification is positioned as a prerequisite for placement, based on the assumption that it ensures the quality and competitiveness of Indonesian labor. However, many IMWs continue to experience repatriation due to perceived incompetence. This research employed a qualitative case study approach, through in-depth interviews with eight informants: three informal-sector IMWs in Taiwan and five officials from BP3MI/KP2MI across various regions, supplemented by a focus group discussion with two policy experts. Thematic analysis using NVivo 12 identified five key themes: (1) challenges of varying standards, costs, and limited access; (2) the need for international recognition; (3) the role of government and private actors in monitoring and support; (4) certification as a driver of competitiveness and employment opportunities; and (5) certification as a legal safeguard and instrument of quality standardization. The findings show that certification has a positive influence on IMWs’ entry into the international labor market and enhances their confidence. However, its long-term impact remains limited due to the absence of global recognition, misalignment between training curricula and workplace demands, and weak post-placement support. These results align with the Theory of Attitude and Behavior and the Theory of Planned Behavior, indicating that training fosters positive attitudes and social norms; yet, sustained professional behavior is hindered by low perceived behavioral control, which is caused by structural barriers. The study recommends harmonizing certification standards with those of destination countries, improving the relevance of training curricula, and strengthening institutional support after placement. Ultimately, competency certification must be complemented by continuous learning systems to enhance the quality and career sustainability of IMWs effectively.

Abstract

Community welfare is a fundamental objective in achieving sustainable and equitable development, particularly in regions facing persistent urban–rural disparities. Despite various policy interventions, including fiscal transfers and targeted development programs at local levels, the determinants of community welfare remain a subject of debate. This study examines the key economic determinants of community welfare in Southeast Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, focusing on economic growth, income inequality, labor absorption, infrastructure availability, and investment. Using panel data regression analysis, this study investigates the causal relationships between these economic factors and community welfare across districts and cities in Southeast Sulawesi from 2012 to 2021, based on data from the Central Statistics Agency. The results indicate that labor absorption, income inequality, infrastructure development, and investment have significant effects on community welfare. Employment emerges as the most influential factor, suggesting that higher labor absorption plays a critical role in improving welfare outcomes. Income inequality shows a significant negative effect, indicating that increasing disparities reduce overall welfare. Infrastructure development and investment positively contribute to welfare by enhancing public services and expanding employment opportunities. In contrast, economic growth demonstrates a weaker impact compared to other determinants. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence that community welfare is more strongly influenced by employment creation and inequality reduction than by economic growth alone. The findings offer important policy implications for regional development planning, emphasizing the need for inclusive, labor-oriented, and infrastructure-supported development strategies to enhance welfare in developing regions.

Abstract

This research was motivated by fluctuating event package sales at Hotel Candi Indah Semarang, particularly a significant decline in March 2025, which fell by 58% below the target. Three key factors are examined as potential influences: price sensitivity, brand awareness and perceived quality, along with their impact on the purchasing decision of event packages at Hotel Candi Indah Semarang. Data were collected through a literature review, observation, and a Likert-scale questionnaire administered to 80 participants who had previously utilized the hotel's event package services. Data collection utilized a combination of purposive sampling and incidental sampling. Purposive sampling targeted respondents who had previously booked event packages for a minimum of 30 participants, while incidental sampling allowed access to eligible respondents encountered by chance. IBM SPSS version 26 with multiple linear regression was used to analyze the data. All participants provided informed consent prior to participation, and the study adhered to ethical principles in social research. The results showed that purchase decisions for event packages at Hotel Candi Indah Semarang were significantly influenced by price sensitivity, brand awareness, and perceived quality, both partially and simultaneously. In practice, the study's findings can help Hotel Candi Indah Semarang's management develop more effective marketing strategies, notably for improving event package sales. It specifically helps to build tactics based on price sensitivity, perceived quality, and brand awareness. Theoretically, this study enhances the Expectancy Value Theory by demonstrating that price sensitivity, brand awareness and perceived quality constitute significant factors in purchasing decisions within the hospitality sector.

Abstract

Interdisciplinary collaboration is vital in healthcare organizations for enhancing service delivery and employee outcomes. This study, conducted among 190 regular employees of a private tertiary hospital in the Philippines, examined the relationship between key dimensions of interdisciplinary collaboration—communication, mutual respect, role clarity, conflict resolution, and leadership—and employee engagement aspects such as organizational commitment, recognition, growth opportunities, job satisfaction, and affective commitment. Using a descriptive-quantitative design, data were collected through a validated questionnaire distributed via Google Forms and analyzed using frequency distribution, weighted mean, and Spearman’s rank-order correlation. Findings indicated generally strong collaboration, with highest ratings in mutual respect, and role clarity, and moderate performance in communication, leadership support, and conflict resolution. Employee engagement was similarly positive, with strengths in organizational commitment and growth opportunities, while affective commitment, job satisfaction, and recognition were moderate. Significant positive relationships were found between all collaboration and engagement dimensions, highlighting that effective collaboration fosters greater motivation, satisfaction, and organizational attachment. The results align with Social Exchange Theory, suggesting that positive interpersonal interactions cultivate reciprocal commitment and engagement.  Despite the positive ratings, employees reported challenges including the need for stronger interdepartmental support, communication breakdowns, conflicting departmental priorities, and hierarchical role dominance hindering effective collaboration. Building on these insights, the study proposes organizational initiatives to strengthen leadership effectiveness, improve conflict management, and create structured pathways for professional advancement. Embedding these initiatives into daily practice can sustain a motivated workforce, foster cohesive teamwork, and advance patient-centered care.

Abstract

This study aimed to examine the relationship between organizational climate and work attitudes among law enforcers, focusing on reward systems, career development, and organizational direction, as well as work-related attitudes such as commitment, compensation satisfaction, and corporate communication. A quantitative, descriptive–correlational research design was employed, with data collected through a structured survey administered to law enforcement personnel. Descriptive and inferential statistical analyses, including correlation and regression, were used to analyze the data. Results indicated that law enforcers generally perceived their organizational climate positively, particularly in recognition, rewards, and clarity of organizational direction, while career development received lower ratings. A strong and statistically significant relationship was found between organizational climate and attitudes toward work (r = 0.835, p < 0.001). Further analysis revealed that reward systems and organizational direction were the strongest predictors of work attitudes, jointly explaining 78.5% of the variance. These findings highlight the importance of fostering a supportive organizational climate to enhance law enforcers’ job satisfaction, commitment, and performance. This study contributes empirical evidence to the literature on organizational climate within the law enforcement context and offers practical insights for organizational policy and human resource development.
