Abstract

Public transportation is vital for addressing urban mobility challenges and reducing traffic congestion. To improve public transportation systems and encourage usage, understanding commuter behavior, attitudes, and preferences is crucial. This research aims to identify commuter segments based on demography, attitude, and behavior, and determine their future intentions towards public transportation. Data was collected from 257 respondents residing in the Greater Jakarta area, encompassing Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi, through an online survey. Segmentation was achieved using factor analysis and cluster analysis. The analysis identified three distinct commuter segments with varying behavior, attitude, and perception towards public transportation. The first group, Affluent Men, preferred private vehicles but expressed environmental concern and openness to adopting new technology. They showed eagerness to utilize high-quality public transportation services like the MRT. The second group, Millennial "Rokers," primarily relied on public transportation, seeking convenience, shorter travel durations, and reduced risk. The final group, "Easy Going and Active Women," had no specific preference for public or private transportation as long as they could reach their destinations quickly. However, they had significant health concerns, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Surprisingly, all three segments demonstrated similar future intentions towards public transportation usage post-pandemic, posing governance challenges in promoting public transportation and integrating transport systems in Jabodetabek. This paper contributes by integrating behavior, demography, and attitudes to build the segmentation, examining their reactions to the pandemic and intentions towards public transportation. The findings have implications for policymakers and practitioners, requiring tailored policies and interventions for different segments.

Abstract

Effective data analysis reflects an improved approach to data collection, cleaning, and screening. However, very few studies reported information on the techniques used in cleaning and screening their collected data, leading to questionable final results and interpretations, especially among university students. To address this issue, the current study examines the rigorous data collection, cleaning and screening processes for data normalization among university students in Nigeria. Using a multi-stage research methodology, 367 adapted survey instrument items were administered using Snowballing. Finally, 365 were retrieved from the respondents. Missing data were all replaced using the Series Mean (SMEAN), and outliers were appropriately addressed through z-score values and chi-square criteria. Descriptive statistical measures were used to examine the dataset and presented in several tables, a histogram, a scatterplot and a normal probability plot. The collected, cleaned, and screened data were found to have a normal distribution, helping analyze and understand the parametric data distribution, variation, and normalization. The findings provide valuable information for university students, academics, policymakers, and practitioners to adopt during data collection, cleaning and screening exercises. It was recommended that university students, lecturers, researchers, and research institutions prioritize thorough data collection, embrace transparent data cleaning, screening and reporting practices, and adopt standardized procedures to enhance data accuracy, reliability, and normalization for better data analysis and interpretation of research findings.

Abstract

In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the growth of startups, particularly in developing nations. There are numerous opportunities for startups to innovate as a result of the rapid growth of technology, which can be utilized to better the lives of a great number of people in a variety of fields. Pioneering startups must place a significant emphasis on investment as it is a critical determinant in sustaining business growth and innovation. A multitude of organizations are compelled to cease operations and innovation as a result of insufficient financial resources. Often, venture capital (VC) firms or angel investors provide financial support to startups. Each year, a venture capitalist may assess thousands of funding proposals from startups. It signifies that venture capital entry is competitive for each startup. The many factors that influence a venture capitalist's decision to invest in a startup have been the subject of numerous studies. This study employs a multiple linear regression model to examine the influence of human capital, social media, the business sector, and entrepreneur gender on funding for advanced-stage startups in Indonesia.

Abstract

This research aims to investigate the effect of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law on small food businesses, specifically franchises and food stalls, in Cabugao, Ilocos Sur. The study focuses on businesses that have been in operation for at least five years, as their longer existence allows for a comprehensive understanding of the effects of the Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law on their operations. Questionnaires were constructed by the researchers to determine the level of operating performance and for the level of effectiveness of Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law. The majority of respondents, aged 40-49, are college graduates and have attended 1-3 seminars. Most small business owners have been in operation for over or equal to 10 years and hired 1-3 employees, usually family members. The study found that small business owners do not believe the tax reform has a positive impact on income generation, and the increase in purchasing power has not significantly impacted their business. However, businesses use incentives to optimize their income and have lower personal income tax rates. The increase in operating costs does not lead to cost-saving measures, and marketing expenses do not contribute to profitability. Lastly, in 2018 and 2019, small business owners reported sales above P300,000 and had expenses below P50,000. Over the subsequent years, the pattern varies. Notably, in 2020 and 2021, small business owners reported sales below P50,000 and expenses also below P50,000. In 2022, reported sales between P50,000 and P100,000 and the expenses are below P50,000. Hence, the operating performance of the business encountered no effect on the implementation of Tax Reform for Acceleration and Inclusion Law.

Abstract

The relationship between the fundamentals of a firm and cash holdings is an interest topic in financial accounting and financial market literature. Adequate cash holdings can lead to higher profits and financial flexibility, allowing companies to take advantage of opportunities. Therefore, the real estate and property sector requires optimal liquidity holdings to avoid losing investment opportunities and achieve organizational goals. This study examines the effect of controlling share ownership and profitability on cash holdings in the corporate sector. Our samples are the real estate and property sub-sector from 2018 to 2021. The study uses quantitative methods with an archival technique from a capital market database. We performed multiple linear regression to test our hypotheses. The findings show that controlling share ownership has a significant influence on cash holdings. However, the profitability impact on cash holding is not supported. Our study has several limitations, i.e., (1) The study focused only on sub-sector real estate and property, and (2) Our sample period was conducted during 2018-2021. Originality/value examines the effect of controlling share ownership and profitability on cash holdings in the corporate sector, with a focus on the real estate and property sub-sector from 2018 to 2021.

Abstract

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of physical exercise on the flight performance of fixed-wing cadets at Indonesia Civil Pilot Academy in Banyuwangi. The research employed a quantitative methodology, utilizing data collection through a questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to the cadets selected as samples, specifically DIII PST 2, DIII PST 3, and DIII PST 4 cadets, with 43 participants. Based on the instrument test conducted using regression analysis with ANOVA, it was found that the regression model (H1) significantly explained the variation in the observed data, with a significant F-ratio of 33.153 and a very low p-value (<.001). The hypothesis test results revealed that the coefficient for the dependent variable, flight performance, was 0.728, with a standard error of 0.126. The standardized coefficient (standardized) for this variable was 0.669. The obtained t-value was 5.758. The research findings indicate a significant influence of the independent variable, "physical exercise", on the dependent variable, flight performance. Aviation training facilities can use the results of this study to develop policies that encourage the inclusion of hands-on training in the flight curriculum. By doing this, you can ensure cadets are in good enough physical shape to complete their flight training. This study's results may open the door for the creation of fresh hypotheses on the connection between physical preparation and flying performance. The results of this study may serve as the foundation for creating a novel conceptual framework in this area.

Abstract

This study investigated the impacts of online product review credibility and quality on consumer purchase intentions for electronics, skincare, and home and kitchen products. Using Covariance-Based and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (CB-SEM and PLS-SEM), it examines the causal links between review credibility, review quality, and consumer purchase intention. Conducted among 555 randomly selected online consumers from Metro Manila, Philippines, the study employed questionnaires with rating scales to gather data. Confirmatory factor analysis was utilized to assess model fit, reliability, and validity, while structural model and path analysis were applied to investigate the links between variables. The findings reveal that the structural model exhibits a moderate fit with the empirical data, demonstrating acceptable reliability and validity levels. Online review credibility was found to have a positive and direct impact on consumer purchase intention. Review quality was identified as a partial mediator in the relationship between review credibility and purchase intention, suggesting that it indirectly influences this dynamic. These implications suggest that e-commerce companies should emphasize the credibility of online product reviews by introducing guidelines to reduce the prevalence of misleading reviews. The accuracy and completeness of reviews, as determinants of review quality, should be prioritized to influence consumer decisions effectively. The study recommends that marketing strategies include incentives for customers to write honest and thorough reviews, thereby enhancing the overall quality of online product reviews. For future research, a qualitative or mixed-method approach is suggested to provide deeper insights, along with longitudinal studies to examine these effects over time.
