Abstract

Nature-based learning provides young children with opportunities to explore their surrounding environment through direct and meaningful experiences. This study aimed to examine children’s participation and creative experiences during a nature-based ecoprint activity. The activity involved children aged 4–5 years in selecting natural materials, arranging leaves and flowers, preparing the materials, carrying out the pounding process, and observing the resulting motifs on tote bags. The findings showed that the children demonstrated positive engagement from the preparation stage and participated throughout the ecoprint process. Variations were observed in the types and quantities of natural materials brought, the ways children arranged the leaves and flowers, and the motifs produced on their tote bags. Some children were able to arrange materials independently, while others required guidance. Although several children showed signs of fatigue during the relatively lengthy pounding process, most continued the activity with assistance from teachers and university students. The appearance of the motifs was accompanied by expressions of happiness and pride. These findings indicate that nature-based ecoprint activities can provide a concrete and creative learning experience by allowing children to explore natural materials, make choices, express ideas, and participate directly in an artistic process. The activity can therefore serve as an alternative nature-based learning experience in early childhood education.

Abstract

The growing popularity of matcha beverages among Generation Z reflects changing consumption patterns shaped by health awareness, lifestyle trends, and social media engagement. In this competitive market, understanding the factors that encourage consumers to repurchase is important for sustaining customer relationships. Price perception and electronic word of mouth (E-WOM) may influence repurchase intention through customer satisfaction. This study aims to examine the effects of price perception and E-WOM on repurchase intention and to investigate the mediating role of customer satisfaction among Generation Z consumers of matcha beverages. A quantitative causal research design was employed. Data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale online questionnaire from 130 Generation Z consumers who had previously purchased matcha beverages and actively used social media. Respondents were selected using purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS. The findings show that price perception and E-WOM positively and significantly affect customer satisfaction, while customer satisfaction significantly enhances repurchase intention. However, neither price perception nor E-WOM has a significant direct effect on repurchase intention. Customer satisfaction significantly mediates both relationships. These findings indicate that businesses should prioritize customer satisfaction when developing pricing and digital communication strategies to encourage repeat purchases.

Abstract

The rapid growth of the beauty industry has intensified digital marketing competition, while unethical marketing practices may negatively influence consumer perceptions and brand relationships. Allegations of a Black Campaign involving White Inc have generated Negative electronic word of mouth (Negative e-WOM), potentially undermining Customer Trust and increasing Switching Intention. This study aims to examine the effects of Marketing Ethics and Negative e-WOM on Switching Intention, with Customer Trust as a mediating variable. A quantitative approach was employed using purposive sampling to collect data from 200 respondents who were familiar with the Black Campaign issue and exposed to related marketing information and Negative e-WOM. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that Marketing Ethics positively affects Customer Trust and negatively affects Switching Intention, whereas Negative e-WOM negatively affects Customer Trust and positively affects Switching Intention. Customer Trust also negatively affects Switching Intention and significantly mediates the relationships between Marketing Ethics, Negative e-WOM, and Switching Intention. These findings imply that ethical marketing practices and effective management of Negative e-WOM are important for maintaining consumer trust and reducing switching tendencies.

Abstract

The global fashion industry contributes substantially to greenhouse gas emissions and textile waste, while increasing environmental awareness does not always translate into sustainable fashion purchase intention. This study examines the effects of Environmental Awareness, Attitude, Subjective Norms, and Perceived Behavioral Control on sustainable fashion purchase intention and investigates differences between Generations Y and Z. A quantitative causal-associative design was employed using questionnaire data from 200 respondents aged 17–45 years. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) and Multi-Group Analysis (MGA) with SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that Environmental Awareness positively and significantly affects Attitude, while Attitude, Subjective Norms, and Perceived Behavioral Control positively affect sustainable fashion purchase intention, with Perceived Behavioral Control showing the strongest effect. Attitude also significantly mediates the relationship between Environmental Awareness and purchase intention. MGA reveals significant generational differences in the effects of Environmental Awareness on Attitude and Subjective Norms on purchase intention, with stronger effects among Generation Y. However, the effects of Attitude, Perceived Behavioral Control, and the mediating role of Attitude do not differ significantly between generations. The findings highlight the importance of improving accessibility and affordability while considering generational differences in sustainable fashion marketing strategies.

Abstract

Fluctuations in firm value within the consumer non-cyclicals sector remain a concern despite the sector’s relatively stable demand characteristics. Differences in ownership structure, corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure, and financing decisions may contribute to variations in firm value, while previous empirical findings remain inconsistent. This study aims to examine the effects of foreign ownership, CSR disclosure, and leverage on firm value and to investigate the moderating role of profitability in these relationships. A quantitative approach was employed using purposive sampling and panel data regression with Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The study analyzed 168 observations covering the 2021–2024 period. The results indicate that foreign ownership has a significant negative effect on firm value, whereas CSR disclosure and leverage do not have significant partial effects. Simultaneously, foreign ownership, CSR disclosure, and leverage significantly affect firm value. Profitability does not moderate the effects of foreign ownership or CSR disclosure on firm value but strengthens the effect of leverage on firm value. These findings provide practical implications for companies and investors in formulating ownership, sustainability disclosure, and financing strategies to support firm value.

Abstract

Tax avoidance remains an important corporate tax issue because firms may seek to reduce tax liabilities through legally permissible tax planning, particularly when financial and operational characteristics create opportunities for tax management. This study examines the effects of leverage, profitability, and capital intensity on tax avoidance and investigates whether firm size moderates these relationships. A quantitative causal design was employed using secondary data from audited annual financial reports of 35 property companies observed during 2021–2024, resulting in 112 firm-year observations selected through purposive sampling. Tax avoidance was measured using the Effective Tax Rate (ETR), while leverage, profitability, capital intensity, and firm size were measured using DER, ROA, the proportion of fixed assets to total assets, and the natural logarithm of total assets, respectively. Panel-data regression and Moderated Regression Analysis were conducted using EViews 13 after model-selection procedures. The results show that leverage does not significantly affect tax avoidance, whereas profitability and capital intensity have significant effects. Firm size significantly moderates the relationship between profitability and tax avoidance but does not moderate the relationships involving leverage or capital intensity. These findings highlight the importance of profitability, asset structure, and firm size in understanding corporate tax-management behavior.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the use of information technology (IT) in Islamic Religious Education (PAI) instruction, focusing on modes of utilization, implementation challenges, and teacher strategies. A qualitative case study design was employed at the school. Data were collected over three weeks through observations, semi-structured interviews with PAI teachers, the school principal, and students in grades VII–IX, as well as document analysis. Data analysis involved data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification, with credibility ensured through source and technique triangulation. Findings indicate that IT utilization primarily involves the use of laptops or computers, LCD projectors, PowerPoint, images, videos, and selective internet access. However, implementation remains heavily presentation-oriented due to equipment limitations, unstable power supply, connectivity issues, equipment malfunctions, unequal student access, and difficulties in managing digital materials. Teachers address these challenges through professional development, training, collaboration, technical preparation, and instructional adaptation. The study concludes that IT integration depends on infrastructure, teacher competence, accessibility, institutional support, and classroom conditions. These findings highlight the need for reliable infrastructure, continuous teacher development, and the integration of technology that is more interactive and student-centered.

Abstract

Indonesia’s Merdeka Belajar Episode 24 initiative has transformed the transition from early childhood education to primary school by eliminating entrance screening, introducing orientation phases, and emphasizing six foundational competencies. This study aimed to examine parental facilitation in supporting children’s adjustment from early childhood education to primary school, particularly in developing foundational competencies, pre-academic prerequisite skills, non-labeling attitudes, and early home literacy practices. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed involving 150 caregivers of Group B kindergarten children. Data were collected using validated Likert-scale instruments and analyzed using percentage statistics to describe parental engagement across the targeted dimensions. The findings showed a very good overall level of parental engagement (80%). The highest ratings were found in cultivating foundational competencies and maintaining non-labeling attitudes (82% each), while pre-academic prerequisite skills reached 71%. Early home literacy practices recorded the lowest score (64%), indicating persistent parental concerns about primary school academic expectations. These findings imply that systematic parenting guidance and collaborative workshops involving early childhood institutions and education authorities are needed to strengthen home literacy practices and align parental support with national transition policies.

Abstract

Youth and student organizations play an important role in developing leadership, social awareness, teamwork, and organizational responsibility. However, differences in member characteristics, participation, and communication patterns can create challenges in coordination and the development of a positive organizational culture. This study aims to analyze leadership communication strategies in building a positive organizational culture, examine how communication contributes to organizational culture development, and identify factors that support and hinder its implementation. A qualitative descriptive approach with a case study orientation was employed. Data were collected through observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation involving organizational leaders, administrators, members, and other relevant informants. Data were analyzed using data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verification, with source and technique triangulation used to strengthen data credibility. The findings show that leadership communication is implemented adaptively through direct, group, interpersonal, and digital communication. Open and dialogic communication encourages participation, while interpersonal communication strengthens trust, solidarity, and a family-like organizational culture. Digital media facilitate information dissemination but require complementary direct communication. The findings imply that effective leadership communication should integrate clarity, openness, participation, interpersonal interaction, and adaptive media use to strengthen teamwork, responsibility, discipline, solidarity, and organizational commitment.

Abstract

Understanding customer churn in digital payment platforms is essential for maintaining competitive advantage, particularly regarding how user dissatisfaction, competitor alternatives, and switching barriers influence consumer retention. This study aims to examine the relationship between application dissatisfaction and alternative attractiveness toward switching intention, while analyzing the moderating role of switching cost among LinkAja users. A quantitative approach with a causal design was applied, utilizing data collected from 250 respondents selected through purposive sampling. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) via SmartPLS 4 software. The findings reveal that application dissatisfaction strongly drives switching intention, whereas alternative attractiveness shows no significant impact. Furthermore, switching costs weaken the effect of alternative attractiveness on switching intention, but do not moderate the dissatisfaction-switching link. Strategically, platform providers must prioritize resolving core usability issues and enhancing user experience to prevent customer migration, rather than focusing merely on competing with alternative service providers.
