Abstract

Industrialization has led to an increase in environmental problems, resulting in higher demands for companies to adopt Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. ESG practices involve a trade-off for companies between ESG performance, which requires large investments and has the potential to sacrifice shareholder profitability in the short term. This study aims to examine the influence of ESG performance, profitability ratios Return on Assets (ROA) and Return on Equity (ROE), and closing stock price on the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) for manufacturing and energy companies with high emissions in Indonesia from 2018 to 2023. The model used is panel data regression with a random effects approach. The results show that only ROE and the Governance (G) pillar have a significant positive effect on DPR, while the other variables are not significant. These findings indicate that dividend policy is still profit-based and that governance influences dividend policy considerations.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of green operational practices, digital human resource (HR) innovation, and work process discipline on employee performance at PT Savoria Kreasi Rasa. The population consisted of production employees, and purposive sampling was used to select respondents based on specific criteria, resulting in 63 samples. Primary data were collected through questionnaires using a Likert scale. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression to test both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on employee performance. Employee performance was measured through work quality, quantity, timeliness, compliance, and responsibility in completing tasks. The results show that green operational practices do not have a significant effect on employee performance, digital HR innovation has a negative and significant effect, and work process discipline has a positive and significant effect. Simultaneously, the three independent variables significantly affect employee performance. These findings indicate that environmentally oriented operational practices and digital HR systems do not automatically improve individual performance unless they are integrated with employee readiness and daily work activities. In contrast, consistent work process discipline plays a dominant role in improving employee performance in a manufacturing setting. This study contributes to human resource management literature by emphasizing the importance of aligning sustainability-oriented operations, HR digitalization, and disciplined work behavior to improve employee productivity. The findings also provide practical implications for companies seeking to optimize internal systems and strengthen employee performance outcomes.

Abstract

Post-pandemic, local governments face dual pressures to enhance public service performance through technology adoption and collaborative mechanisms. However, implementation is often hampered by system fragmentation (silos) and non-technical barriers. This study aims to synthesize recent empirical evidence regarding the interaction between digital transformation and collaborative governance, and its impact on public organization performance at the local level. This study employs a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. The search was conducted on Scopus, Google Scholar, and Garuda databases covering the 2021–2025 period. Out of 128 identified articles, 16 final articles were selected after quality appraisal using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT) 2018. Findings indicate a shift in transformation forms from single-purpose applications to integrated platform ecosystems. Thematically, internal collaboration (G2G) is effective for service standardization, while external (multi-stakeholder) collaboration excels in driving innovation. The primary barriers identified are not technical, but rather human factors and organizational culture, such as sectoral egos. Conclusion: Digital technology functions merely as an enabler, not a sole solution. Significant performance improvement is achieved only when supported by cross-agency data integration (interoperability) and external pressures that force governance reform.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of hybrid working systems and work discipline on the work productivity of Generation Z employees at PT Solomon Indo Global. Employing a quantitative explanatory approach, data were collected from 33 Gen Z employees using structured questionnaires and analyzed through multiple linear regression. The results reveal that the hybrid working system has a positive and significant effect on employee productivity (t = 2.358; p = 0.025), reflected in improved work flexibility, effective use of digital technology, and output-based performance management. Work discipline shows a positive but partially non-significant effect on productivity (t = 1.546; p = 0.132), though it contributes positively within the regression model. Simultaneous testing indicates that both hybrid working and work discipline jointly and significantly influence employee productivity (F = 18.324; p < 0.001). The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.550 indicates that 55% of the variation in employee productivity is explained by the two variables. These findings suggest that the effectiveness of hybrid working for Generation Z employees relies more on system flexibility and technological support, while work discipline serves as a supporting factor. The managerial implication is that organizations need to design adaptive work systems accompanied by clear performance standards and outcome-based monitoring mechanisms to ensure sustainable productivity.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the urgent need to improve the quality of vocational education, particularly in efforts to maximize student academic achievement through internal factors—namely, learning motivation and academic discipline—which still vary significantly within school environments. This research is conducted to analyze the effect of learning motivation and academic discipline on students’ academic achievement, assessed both individually and collectively. The method used is a quantitative approach with a causal-associative research design, involving the entire population of 90 students using a saturation sampling technique. Data collection was conducted through questionnaires, interviews, and documentation, and was subsequently analyzed using statistical techniques, including multiple linear regression analysis. The results indicate that learning motivation and academic discipline have a positive and significant influence on academic achievement, both individually and jointly. These findings confirm that enhancing students’ motivation and discipline plays a crucial role in fostering optimal academic achievement. Thus, strengthening these two aspects should be a primary focus in learning strategies. The implications of this study provide a foundation for schools and educators in designing more effective strategies to improve the quality of learning and students’ academic outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of employer branding on employees’ intention to stay, with organizational commitment as a mediating variable in the construction industry in Manokwari. This study uses a quantitative approach with a survey method. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings show that employer branding has a positive and significant effect on organizational commitment. However, employer branding and organizational commitment are not proven to have a significant effect on intention to stay. In addition, organizational commitment is unable to mediate the relationship between employer branding and intention to stay. These findings indicate a high level of response homogeneity (scores of 4 and 5) among senior employees, which results in low data variance (ceiling effect). Under these conditions, the intention to stay tends to be stable and is more strongly influenced by job security and economic considerations than by organizational psychological factors.

Abstract

This study investigates the relationships between brand affinity, customer engagement, and customer loyalty within social commerce platforms among Indonesian consumers. Grounded in relationship marketing and the Stimulus–Organism–Response (S-O-R) framework, the research adopts a quantitative approach to examine both direct and indirect effects among the constructs. Data were collected from 150 respondents using a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. The analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 3. The results reveal that brand affinity has a significant positive effect on customer engagement and customer loyalty. Customer engagement also significantly influences customer loyalty, indicating its dominant role in shaping consumer commitment. Furthermore, mediation analysis confirms that customer engagement partially mediates the relationship between brand affinity and customer loyalty. These findings suggest that emotional attachment to a brand must be translated into active interaction to effectively generate loyalty in social commerce environments. This study contributes to the literature by integrating emotional and behavioral constructs within a unified framework and provides empirical evidence from an emerging market context. Practically, the findings offer strategic insights for businesses to enhance customer relationships through engagement-driven marketing approaches, thereby strengthening long-term loyalty in increasingly competitive digital marketplaces.

Abstract

Digital transformation in educational service marketing has become a strategic necessity for enhancing institutional competitiveness, compelling educational institutions to adopt adaptive and innovative marketing strategies. This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Ministry of Health (Kementerian Kesehatan/Kemenkes) branding at Poltekkes Kemenkes East Kalimantan, one of five Poltekkes designated as pilot projects. The study focuses on the optimization of Instagram as a medium for educational service marketing. A qualitative case study approach was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The findings indicate that digital branding implementation significantly improved institutional visibility, reflected in the increase of Instagram followers from 9,000 to 19,200 within three months. Four important findings emerged: transformation of digital strategy, academic community involvement, effectiveness of value-based content, and the gap between awareness and engagement. The study concludes that digital branding effectiveness is determined not only by content distribution but also by audience interaction quality.

Abstract

Employee performance is one of the most important factors in maintaining organizational effectiveness and operational sustainability, particularly in the pharmaceutical industry which requires high standards of accuracy, efficiency, and compliance. This study aims to analyze the effect of competence and training on employee performance with job satisfaction as a mediating variable at the Procurement Division of PT Bio Farma (Persero). This study employed a quantitative explanatory approach using SEM-PLS. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 60 employees of the Procurement Division of PT Bio Farma (Persero). The independent variables in this study are competence and training, the dependent variable is employee performance, and the mediating variable is job satisfaction. The results indicate that competence has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction, and training also has a positive and significant effect on job satisfaction. However, competence and training do not have a significant direct effect on employee performance. Furthermore, job satisfaction was unable to mediate the relationship among competence and training on employee performance. These findings imply that competence and training primarily contribute to improving employees’ work comfort, confidence, and understanding rather than directly enhancing performance outcomes. Therefore, companies should also consider other factors influencing employee performance, such as organizational culture, work environment, leadership, and motivation systems.
