Abstract

The existence of a free market increases the level of competition between countries because non-tariff barriers are reduced. This phenomenon is a serious concern amidst the issue of liberalization and international economic integration because each country has the same interest in gaining maximum benefit from open market access. This study uses a modified or developed gravity equation model (extended gravity model) to analyze the effect of economic openness on the flow of Indonesian spice export trade to the United States. This study reveals how the openness of the United States economy significantly affects the flow of Indonesian spice trade, both in the short and long term. With the strengthening of bilateral relations between the two countries, Indonesia has the opportunity to optimize spice exports and facilitate trade negotiations in the international market.

Abstract

The hospitality industry relies heavily on the quality of its human resources to deliver excellent service and maintain customer satisfaction. Employee performance is one of the primary determinants of organizational success, while work discipline serves as a fundamental factor influencing employees' ability to perform effectively. This study aims to analyze the effect of work discipline on employee performance at Sadara Resort. A quantitative research approach was employed using a simple linear regression model. Data were collected from 84 employees representing eleven operational departments through structured questionnaires. Prior to hypothesis testing, the research instruments were examined using validity and reliability tests. The findings indicate that all questionnaire items were valid, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.816 to 0.913, while both variables demonstrated excellent reliability with Cronbach's Alpha values of 0.947. Descriptive analysis revealed that work discipline achieved a mean score of 3.74 and employee performance obtained a mean score of 3.50, both categorized as good. The hypothesis testing results showed that work discipline has a positive and statistically significant effect on employee performance (t = 13.152; p < 0.001). Furthermore, the coefficient of determination (R² = 0.678) indicates that work discipline explains 67.8% of the variation in employee performance, while the remaining 32.2% is influenced by other variables not examined in this study. The findings support Goal Setting Theory, suggesting that employees who consistently comply with organizational rules, demonstrate responsibility, and effectively manage their working time tend to achieve higher levels of performance. The study recommends strengthening supervisory practices, reinforcing Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), conducting regular employee briefings, and improving time management to further enhance employee performance and service quality in the hospitality industry.

Abstract

The rapid growth of equity crowdfunding in Indonesia has introduced new opportunities for public participation in investment activities while simultaneously creating challenges related to information uncertainty, investor vulnerability, and trust formation. Unlike conventional investment markets, equity crowdfunding involves greater information asymmetry because investors often evaluate privately held businesses with limited operational history and incomplete information. Therefore, mechanisms that enhance information transparency and investor protection are essential to strengthening investor confidence and supporting rational investment decisions. This study aims to examine the influence of information transparency and investor protection on investment decision-making through the mediating role of investor trust in the context of equity crowdfunding in Indonesia. This research employs a quantitative approach using survey data collected from 100 equity crowdfunding investors in Indonesia. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3. The results indicate that information transparency has a positive and significant effect on investor trust, while investor protection demonstrates a stronger positive influence on investor trust. Furthermore, investor trust significantly affects investment decision-making. Information transparency and investor protection also directly influence investment decision-making, with investor trust partially mediating these relationships. The findings demonstrate that transparent information disclosure and effective protection mechanisms are critical factors in reducing uncertainty, strengthening investor confidence, and encouraging participation in equity crowdfunding markets. This study contributes to the fintech and investment behavior literature by highlighting the importance of governance mechanisms in developing a trustworthy and sustainable equity crowdfunding ecosystem in emerging markets such as Indonesia.
