Abstract

Understanding how sustainability disclosure and financial performance shape firm value remains an important issue in corporate governance and capital market studies. The purpose of this research is to examine the influence of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure and financial performance on firm value, with competitive advantage acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed using panel data from 46 publicly listed companies over the 2021–2024 period. The analysis utilized panel regression combined with path analysis to evaluate both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings indicate that financial performance has a positive and significant effect on firm value, confirming its central role in determining market valuation. In contrast, ESG disclosure does not show a significant direct effect on firm value. Furthermore, ESG disclosure demonstrates a negative relationship with competitive advantage, while financial performance positively influences competitive advantage. Mediation analysis reveals that competitive advantage does not mediate the relationship between ESG disclosure and firm value but partially mediates the relationship between financial performance and firm value. These findings imply that companies should strengthen financial performance as a strategic foundation while integrating ESG practices more effectively to enhance long-term competitive positioning and firm value.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of principals’ servant leadership, service management support, and teachers’ digital literacy on teacher performance. A quantitative approach was employed using a survey method. The study involved 40 teachers selected through a saturated sampling technique. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed via an online form, and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the SmartPLS application. The findings indicate that principals’ servant leadership and service management support have positive but statistically insignificant effects on teacher performance. In contrast, teachers’ digital literacy has a positive and significant effect on teacher performance and emerges as the most dominant variable in the research model. Simultaneously, the three independent variables contribute to teacher performance, with digital literacy playing the most substantial role. These results suggest that teacher performance in contemporary educational environments is more strongly influenced by teachers’ individual competencies in utilizing digital technologies than by leadership and managerial support alone. Therefore, strengthening teachers’ digital literacy should become a strategic priority in efforts to improve teacher performance in schools.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the influence of work–life balance and flexible work arrangements on work fulfillment among Generation Z employees in hybrid work systems, with employee engagement acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative research design was employed by collecting data from 200 Generation Z employees who had at least one year of experience working in a hybrid system. Data were gathered through an online questionnaire using validated measurement scales and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with SmartPLS 4. The results reveal that work–life balance and flexible work arrangements have a positive and significant effect on employee Engagement and work fulfillment. Employee engagement also significantly influences work fulfillment and partially mediates the relationships between work–life balance, flexible work arrangements, and work fulfillment. The model shows moderate explanatory power with R² values of 0.315 for employee engagement and 0.371 for work fulfillment. These findings imply that organizations should design hybrid work policies that emphasize balanced work-life boundaries, structured flexibility, and engagement-enhancing practices to improve sustainable work fulfillment among Generation Z employees.

Abstract

This research examines the influence of the BI Rate, inflation, profitability (ROA), and firm size on banking stock returns. The analysis applies a quantitative approach using panel data regression with the Common Effect Model (CEM). The sample consists of 39 banking companies selected through purposive sampling, with observations covering the 2021–2024 period. Secondary data were analyzed using EViews 12 to evaluate the relationship between macroeconomic indicators and firm characteristics on stock returns. The results show that the BI Rate and inflation have a negative and significant effect on stock returns, while firm size has a positive and significant effect. In contrast, profitability (ROA) does not have a significant effect on banking stock returns. Simultaneously, all independent variables significantly influence stock returns, indicating that both macroeconomic conditions and firm characteristics jointly shape investor responses in the capital market. These findings imply that interest rate policy and inflation dynamics are important macroeconomic signals that influence investor behavior, while firm size reflects stability that can attract investment interest. Therefore, investors should consider macroeconomic trends and company scale when making investment decisions, while bank management needs to strengthen financial credibility and transparency to improve market confidence.

Abstract

The rapid growth of social media, particularly TikTok, has transformed how consumers build relationships with brands and develop intentions to repurchase products. This study aims to examine the effects of influencer marketing and electronic word of mouth (eWOM) on repurchase intention, with brand trust acting as a mediating variable. A quantitative research approach was employed using a survey of 200 active TikTok users who had previously purchased or tried products promoted on the platform. The collected data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results indicate that influencer marketing has a significant effect on both repurchase intention and brand trust. Meanwhile, TikTok eWOM significantly influences brand trust but does not directly affect repurchase intention. Brand trust is found to have a significant effect on repurchase intention and plays an important mediating role in strengthening the relationship between influencer marketing, eWOM, and repurchase intention. These findings highlight the importance of building brand trust to transform digital marketing communication into sustainable consumer loyalty and repeated purchase behavior in social media–driven markets.

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate how implementing an Internal Quality Assurance System (SPMI) contributes to improving institutional quality in a rural state madrasah. Educational quality disparities between urban and peripheral regions remain a persistent challenge, particularly for Islamic educational institutions that often face limitations in infrastructure, management capacity, and access to resources. Strengthening internal quality governance in madrasahs is therefore essential to ensure equitable and sustainable educational development. This research employs a qualitative descriptive case study conducted at a madrasah. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with key informants, and documentation analysis, and analyzed using an interactive model of data reduction, data display, and conclusion verification. The findings reveal three major patterns. First, integrating a digital-based SPMI system improves transparency and enables real-time monitoring of institutional performance. Second, instructional leadership plays a crucial role in translating national curriculum policies into locally relevant pedagogical practices through mentoring and clinical supervision. Third, the madrasa demonstrates organizational responsiveness to students’ digital behavioral trends through structured digital literacy and ethical guidance programs. These findings contribute to the development of an adaptive quality management model for madrasahs and recommend strengthening digital governance and leadership capacity in similar educational institutions.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of knowledge, trust, perceived usefulness, security, and service features on customers’ decisions to use Internet Banking. The research employed a quantitative, associative research design to examine causal relationships among variables. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 120 bank customers who had previously used Internet Banking services. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression supported by statistical software to examine both partial and simultaneous effects of the independent variables on customers’ decisions. The results show that knowledge, trust, perceived usefulness, security, and service features each have a positive and significant effect on customers’ decisions to use Internet Banking. Among these variables, perceived usefulness was found to be the most dominant factor influencing adoption decisions. The simultaneous test also indicates that all independent variables collectively have a significant effect on customers’ decisions to adopt Internet Banking services. These findings imply that improving customers’ understanding of digital banking, strengthening system security, building customer trust, and enhancing service features are essential strategies for increasing the adoption of Internet Banking services.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze Generation Z’s perceptions of the use of e-wallets such as Touch 'n Go, GrabPay, and MAE in their daily financial activities and to examine the implications for digital financial behavior and educational management. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive case study design to obtain an in-depth understanding of users’ experiences with digital payment technologies. Informants were selected through purposive sampling based on the criteria of belonging to Generation Z and actively using at least one e-wallet application. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation, and analyzed using interactive analysis techniques including data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings show that Generation Z generally has positive perceptions of e-wallet usage, particularly regarding convenience, usefulness, and the integration of digital services that facilitate efficient transactions. However, ambivalent perceptions were also identified, especially related to concerns about data security and the potential for consumptive behavior due to promotional incentives such as cashback and discounts. These findings indicate that e-wallets are perceived not only as payment tools but also as part of the digital lifestyle of Generation Z. The study highlights the importance of strengthening digital financial literacy and responsible financial behavior through educational management strategies.

Abstract

Plastic pollution has become a global environmental issue with serious ecological consequences. Reports from the United Nations Environment Programme indicate that global plastic waste production exceeds 400 million tons annually, with a significant portion originating from packaging waste generated by the Fast-Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry. This study aims to analyze the influence of Environmental Concern (EC), Subjective Norm (SN), and Eco Labels (EL) on Green Purchase Intention (GPI), while also examining the moderating role of Social Media Information (SMI). The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey of 210 consumers selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 3 at a 5% significance level. The results reveal that Environmental Concern, Subjective Norm, Eco Labels, and Social Media Information have a positive and significant effect on Green Purchase Intention. Furthermore, Social Media Information does not moderate the relationship between Environmental Concern and Green Purchase Intention, but it significantly moderates the relationship between Subjective Norm and Green Purchase Intention. These findings provide empirical contributions to the literature on green consumer behavior and offer practical implications for strengthening sustainable marketing strategies and environmental communication in the FMCG sector.

Abstract

Sharia financial literacy plays a strategic role in shaping responsible financial behavior aligned with Islamic values from an early age. The habit of saving is a relevant form of implementing Sharia financial literacy to instill a sense of trustworthiness, self-control, and awareness of wise wealth management. In the context of early childhood education, the application of Sharia financial literacy needs to be contextualized and sustainable so that the introduced values can be internalized in children's daily behavior. This study used a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach conducted at Tadika Didik Bistari Gemilang Malaysia. Data were obtained through observation of learning activities, in-depth interviews with the headmaster, class teachers, parents, and children aged 5–6, and supported by documentation of activities. The study results indicate that Sharia financial literacy is implemented through the habit of saving integrated into children's learning activities, such as direct practice of saving and the use of simple media appropriate to the child's developmental stage. This hands-on, experience-based approach increases children's engagement and helps them understand the concrete meaning of saving. Consistently practicing these habits has a positive impact on children's behavior, as reflected in increased savings habits, greater caution in using pocket money, and the ability to delay desires. These findings confirm that Islamic financial literacy, implemented from an early age, plays a crucial role in developing potentially responsible and sustainable financial behavior when supported by synergy between the school and family environments.
