Abstract

This study explores the psychological and spiritual dynamics underlying impulsive buying behavior within Islamic educational communities, focusing on how emotional triggers interact with financial literacy, platform trust, lifestyle orientation, and the use of financial technology. Drawing from a sample of teachers and staff in two pesantren in North Sumatra, the research applies Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling to test a model that includes fear of missing out as a key emotional predictor, and self-control as both a direct influence and a moderating mechanism. The findings reveal that among all variables tested, only fear of missing out exerts a statistically significant effect on impulsive buying. Other factors such as Islamic financial literacy, fintech usage, trust, and lifestyle show no direct influence, highlighting the limited behavioral power of cognitive or infrastructural preparedness when emotional pressure dominates the decision-making process. Self-control emerges as a critical behavioral firewall, directly reducing impulsive tendencies and weakening the emotional force of fear of missing out. These results underscore a growing behavioral dissonance between ethical intention and digital action. They suggest that Islamic financial education must evolve beyond informational delivery to include the cultivation of emotional regulation, ethical habit, and behavioral resilience. In a commerce environment increasingly governed by acceleration and visibility, the preservation of Sharia-compliant financial behavior will depend less on what individuals know and more on how they manage what they feel and how they pause before they act.

Abstract

The current paper analyzes whether the liquidity and systematic risk can predict stock returns not only as a typical financial indicator but as a kind of a descriptive tip in modern market environments. Using panel data of Indonesian firms listed in the property-sector in the Indonesia Stock Exchange, the research makes use of the random effects model of statistical analysis to assess how firms-level liquidity statistics, beta, and Return results are connected to one another. The findings show that the systematic risk has a strong and positive effect on the stock returns but this is not the case with liquidity, which does not have a similar type of effect. This result is not an indicator of the reduced role of economy but it is a significant rejuvenation concerning the methods in which financial information is being assimilated, ranked and acted upon by the investors. The lack of the effect of liquidity is said not to be irrelevant but invisible in platforms, stories, and investor attention schemes that are more and more dominating the interpretive access. By highlighting a changing ecology of valuation where the salience of financial metrics is mediated by visibility and volatility, as well as digital resonance, the findings help to understand that salience in this context has become contested, and the measured episodically as they become visible and volatile on the temporal shelf of valuation.

Abstract

Traditionally, an independent Board of Commissioners (BoC) has been considered one of the most important pillars of Good Corporate Governance (GCG). However, unlike agency theory, stewardship theory proposes that BoCs originate from internal companies, and not from outsiders. Thus, this study aims to investigate the comparative importance of affiliated commissioners versus independent commissioners in moderating the relationship between GCG and financial performance in Indonesian banks. Using a sample of 37 Indonesian banks over a ten-year period (2013-2022), the research employed moderated regression analysis to examine these relationships while controlling for various bank-specific characteristics. The study confirms a significant positive relationship between GCG implementation and bank financial performance, as measured by Return on Assets (ROA). The most significant finding of this study relates to the moderating effects of board composition. When control variables are included in the analysis, both independent commissioners and affiliated commissioners demonstrate significant moderating effects on the GCG-performance relationship. However, several important nuances emerge: Independent commissioners show a slightly stronger moderating effect (-2.82455) than affiliated commissioners (-2.613125), suggesting that independent oversight provides marginally greater value in enhancing the effectiveness of GCG practices. Both types of commissioners contribute positively to the GCG-performance relationship, indicating that the traditional dichotomy between agency theory and stewardship theory may be overly simplistic in the Indonesian banking context.

Abstract

This research examines the effect of professional skepticism, auditor competence, auditor experience, and time budget pressure on fraud detection ability and the impact of professional skepticism, auditor competence, and auditor experience on fraud detection ability with time budget pressure as a moderating variable. Furthermore, the research applies quantitatively with an explanatory approach. The data were primary, in the form of questionnaires. The variables were professional skepticism, auditor competence, auditor experience, time budget pressure, and fraud detection ability. Moreover, the respondents consist of auditors in KAP of East Java. The data analysis technique used moderated regression. As a result, it concludes that professional skepticism, auditor competence, auditor experience, and time budget pressure are proven partially on the fraud detection ability. Also, it moderates successfully the effect of professional skepticism, auditor competence, and auditor experience on fraud detection ability. Therefore, the results are used as an implication for auditors to increase professional skepticism, auditor competence, and auditor experience to improve fraud detection ability. In addition, KAP has to manage budget pressure well and control its policy which is not only oriented on time efficiency, but also audit quality.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze customer acceptance of the SWACAM feature in the PLN Mobile application using the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Based on data from 181 postpaid customers at PLN UP3 Serpong, this research empirically investigates the impact of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on users' attitudes and their intention to use the SWACAM feature. The study employed Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS software. The findings reveal that both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness significantly affect user attitudes and intentions. Attitude also mediates the relationship between perception and intention. These results provide practical insights for PLN to enhance the adoption of self-service technologies.

Abstract

Economic uncertainty is inevitable for every individual, including Generation Z. One way to deal with this economic uncertainty is through financial planning, which also includes investment activities. This study aims to investigate the role of financial literacy, social media, and privacy concerns on investment intentions. This study involved 206 respondents who were Generation Z students in Semarang City, Indonesia. The results showed that financial literacy and the role of social media have a positive influence on Generation Z's intention to invest in digital platforms, while privacy concerns negatively affect their intention to invest in digital platforms. However, this study was unable to show a moderating relationship between privacy concerns and the role of social media and investment intentions in digital platforms.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of workplace happiness and transformational leadership on organizational commitment within PT Bumi Mekanika Utama. Using a quantitative design with saturated sampling of 42 employees, data were analyzed through multiple linear regression, correlation tests, and significance testing. The results demonstrate that workplace happiness exerts a significant positive effect on organizational commitment, while transformational leadership alone does not. However, when combined, both variables significantly strengthen commitment, indicating that leadership effectiveness depends on the presence of supportive and happiness-enhancing work conditions. These findings highlight the primacy of workplace happiness as the foundation of organizational loyalty, with leadership playing a complementary role when aligned with employees lived experiences. Practically, organizations should prioritize recognition, fairness, and social support as strategies to foster happiness, thereby enabling leaders to amplify commitment through transformational behaviors.

Abstract

This paper explores structural inefficiencies that have been engrained into the delivery procedures, a distributor of industrial gas products, in the context of wastage reduction and improvement on logistic responsiveness, by means of adopting lean distribution. An initial inspection identified extended lead time and operational delays based on delays based on waiting and transport inefficiencies as well as redundant motion, which signified a tangled and non-integrated workflow that was document dependant. Combining Process Activity Mapping (PAM), root cause analysis and 5W+1H technique, the work produced vital, non-value-added activities and recommended focused interventions to reinstate process flow and timing purity. The endeavours of the implementation of the lean-based redesign served to cut down the total time of lead by 14.6 per cent largely through removing the actual bottlenecks in the procedure and also making coordinated handovers on a digital platform. In addition to enhancing efficient stages, the research illustrates that lean distribution serves as a form of structural redesign, which shifts the delivery process out of the series of sequential activities to an integrated, real-time, and demand-oriented system. Such findings validate the view that to enhance the logistics performance in this kind of time-sensitive environment, a reduction of waste is not a sufficient condition but rather a planned transition to digitally-assisted, flow-based process configurations.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of electronic word of mouth (e-WoM), marketplace advertising, and fear of missing out (FoMO) on consumer purchase decisions for Sendy Leather products on Shopee, with trust as a mediating variable. The research employs a quantitative approach using Structural Equation Modeling based on Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) and is supported by 209 purposively selected respondents who have purchased Sendy Leather through Shopee. Findings reveal that e-WoM and FoMO positively and significantly affect trust, while marketplace ads do not. In turn, e-WoM, FoMO, and marketplace ads directly impact purchase decisions, with trust acting as a significant mediator between e-WoM and FoMO toward purchasing behavior. The study concludes that trust and psychological urgency shape digital consumer behavior, emphasizing the need for personalized and credible digital marketing strategies. This research offers managerial implications for local brands operating in competitive online marketplaces.

Abstract

In the shifting landscape of digital commerce, where attention is monetized and trust remains precarious, promotions alone no longer suffice to sustain consumer behavior. This study interrogates the relationship between promotional stimuli and repurchase interest within TikTok Shop, situating Cash-on-Delivery as a mediating variable that reconfigures how consumers interpret value, risk, and reliability. Drawing on quantitative data from urban Indonesian consumers and tested through a structural equation model, the findings reveal that promotional effectiveness is contingent not only on its visibility or appeal but on the presence of structural reassurance that transforms interest into intention and intention into behavior. Cash-on-Delivery, often relegated to logistical convenience, emerges here as a psychological architecture that stabilizes trust in a landscape shaped by speed and spectacle. Rather than acting as an isolated payment method, it becomes the mechanism through which promotional rhetoric is translated into credible action. In a digital environment where persuasion is abundant but safety is scarce, platforms that fail to integrate these dimensions do not merely lose transactions. They lose relevance. This study argues that the future of social commerce lies not in amplifying promotional volume but in curating transactional conditions where trust is embedded, not assumed. The implication is clear. Behavioral continuity in digital markets will belong not to the loudest voice but to the most structurally coherent experience.
