Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of improving sales performance as a key factor in achieving IndiHome marketing targets in Yogyakarta, where employee performance is influenced by internal factors such as work motivation, incentive systems, and job stress. The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of work motivation, incentive systems, and job stress on the performance of IndiHome sales personnel in Yogyakarta. A quantitative approach with an associative research design was employed, and data were collected through Likert-scale questionnaires distributed to 60 sales staff. The data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS version 23, including validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests. The results indicate that work motivation and incentive systems have a positive and significant effect on sales performance, while job stress does not have a significant partial effect. However, when examined simultaneously, work motivation, incentive systems, and job stress significantly influence the performance of IndiHome sales personnel in Yogyakarta. In conclusion, improving sales performance can be achieved by strengthening work motivation, implementing fair incentive systems, and effectively managing job stress to support optimal achievement of sales targets.

Abstract

The oil and gas sector faces high accident risks, making safety culture vital, especially for contractors. In Balikpapan’s refineries, gaps in perception, behavior, and support systems lead to inconsistent safety practices and lingering hazards. This study aims to examine the influence of safety culture dimensions, psychological, behavioral, and situational, on occupational health and safety performance among contractor workers in this high-risk setting. A quantitative approach was adopted using a cross-sectional survey of 382 contractor workers. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire with Likert-scale items and analyzed using partial least squares structural equation modeling. The measurement model confirmed validity and reliability after minor item refinement, while the structural model assessed direct and combined effects of the dimensions. Results show that all three dimensions positively and significantly influence occupational health and safety performance, with the situational dimension exerting the strongest effect, followed by behavioral and psychological dimensions. Together, the dimensions explained nearly seventy percent of the variance in performance. The study concludes that integrated development of organizational systems, consistent safe behaviors, and supportive worker perceptions is essential for enhancing safety outcomes in contractor-heavy environments. Strengthening situational factors offers the greatest potential for reducing risks and supporting zero-accident goals in the industry.

Abstract

The local government has mobilized village administrations to manage waste within their respective areas due to the escalating and poorly controlled waste problem in Ambon City.  This study aims the influence of green creativity on voluntary green behavior with green knowledge sharing as a mediator and green psychological climate as a moderator. This study employed a quantitative approach using purposive sampling to select 154 village officials from four sub-districts in Ambon City. Data were analyzed quantitatively using SEM-PLS to test the hypotheses and SPSS to assess correlations and common method bias. The results of this study found that green creativity has a positive and significant effect on voluntary green behavior, green creativity has a positive and significant effect on green knowledge sharing, green knowledge sharing has a positive and significant effect on voluntary green behavior, and green knowledge sharing can mediate the effect of green creativity on voluntary green behavior. This study also found that green psychological climate can strengthen the effect of green creativity on voluntary green behavior. The study suggests that fostering sustainable environmental behavior requires simultaneously strengthening green creativity, knowledge sharing, and a supportive psychological climate for optimal outcomes.

Abstract

This study examines the government’s strategy to lessen reliance on capital-intensive manufacturing by strengthening agriculture, fisheries, and tourism as key sectors for boosting Local Own-Source Revenue and employment. The purpose of this study is to analyze the influence of the agricultural, fisheries, and tourism sectors on local own-source revenue and labor absorption in Bontang City. The study applies a quantitative causal-associative design using path analysis and relying on secondary data from the central statistics agency, the agriculture, fisheries, and tourism departments, and the regional financial management agency of Bontang City for the 2020–2024 period. The findings reveal that all three sectors have a positive and significant effect on local own-source revenue, with the tourism sector contributing the most, followed by the agricultural and fisheries sectors. Meanwhile, in terms of labor absorption, the agricultural sector has the most dominant influence compared to the other two sectors. The three sectors significantly contribute to the improvement of local own-source revenue and labor absorption. The study concludes that cross-sectoral synergy among labor-intensive sectors can strengthen local economic resilience and support sustainable regional economic growth. The implication is that local governments should enhance inter-agency collaboration, expand public investment, and formulate community-based economic empowerment policies rooted in local resources.

Abstract

The effectiveness of local tax collection has become a critical issue in regional fiscal sustainability, particularly amid increasing policy innovation and administrative transformation. This study aims to examine the influence of human resource capacity and policy innovation on the effectiveness of local tax collection in Bontang City and to analyze the interaction between these variables. A quantitative associative approach was employed using time series data from 2015–2024, including tax targets, realization data, and personnel records from the Regional Revenue Agency (Bapenda) of Bontang City. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with dummy variables and interaction terms through SPSS software. The findings reveal that human resource capacity does not significantly affect tax collection effectiveness, while policy innovation serves as the primary driver with a significant positive impact, indicating a structural shift in regional fiscal capacity. Moreover, a significant negative interaction effect was identified, suggesting that increasing personnel during innovation implementation reduces effectiveness due to transitional inefficiencies and administrative coordination burdens. The study concludes that regional tax administration has shifted from a labor-intensive toward a system-intensive model, emphasizing the need for automated data integration rather than workforce expansion.

Abstract

The LQ45 index consists of blue-chip stocks known for their significant market capitalization and high liquidity. Despite this, during the 2020–2024 timeframe, stock price fluctuations within this index stayed notably high and, at some points, even exceeded the volatility of the Composite Stock Price Index (IHSG), indicating persistent uncertainty and risk in the market. This study seeks to investigate how the debt-to-equity ratio and the size of a firm influence the variations in stock prices of companies listed in the LQ45 index on the Indonesia Stock Exchange. A quantitative research methodology was utilized, relying on secondary data sourced from corporate financial reports and historical stock price data. The study included 24 companies chosen via purposive sampling, and the analysis was conducted using panel data regression in EViews 12. The results show that the debt-to-equity ratio positively and significantly affects stock price volatility, while firm size negatively and significantly impacts stock price volatility. These findings imply that investors and corporate managers should prioritize prudent capital structure management and firm size considerations to mitigate stock price volatility, while future research should incorporate broader samples and additional financial and macroeconomic variables to enhance generalizability and explanatory power.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the importance of formulating an appropriate marketing strategy in response to the dynamic competition within the healthcare sector, particularly at PKU Muhammadiyah Mayong Hospital. The objective of this research is to analyze the role of internal and external environmental factors in the development of the hospital’s marketing strategy. The study employs comparative research design with a mixed methods approach. Data were collected through interviews and questionnaires and analyzed using SWOT analysis, supported by the Internal Factor Evaluation (IFE) and External Factor Evaluation (EFE) matrices. The findings indicate that internal strengths include superior facilities, comprehensive human resources, promotional discounts, and structured financial management, while weaknesses involve limited parking facilities and a high financial dependence on BPJS (National Health Insurance). Externally, opportunities arise from potential collaborations with surrounding companies and the availability of trained medical personnel, whereas threats include the planned construction of a new hospital in the Mayong area and difficulties in collecting incomplete patient payments. The IFE score of 2.76 and EFE score of 2.71 position the hospital in Quadrant I, indicating that a growth-oriented strategy is the most appropriate approach.

Abstract

Early adulthood, ranging from 19 to 40 years, is a transitional period during which individuals entering the workforce must be mentally and physically prepared for diverse and demanding workloads. Auditors at the Indonesian Audit Board (BPK RI) face substantial occupational stress due to high workloads, organizational pressures, and role demands, which can affect their psychological well-being. This study aimed to identify effective stress-coping strategies employed by early adult auditors to manage work-related stress. A qualitative approach was adopted, utilizing interviews, observations, and document analysis. Data were collected from early adult auditors at BPK RI, supplemented by field observations and analysis of personal and official documents. Findings indicated that stressors originated from both internal and external environments, including workload intensity, role conflicts, and organizational expectations. Despite variations in stressors, all participants applied both problem-focused and emotion-focused coping strategies. These strategies effectively reduced stress and enhanced psychological resilience. The study concludes that implementing appropriate coping mechanisms, supported by organizational attention to employees’ primary needs, can improve auditors’ well-being and sustain performance in high-pressure audit environments.

Abstract

Generational transitions in Indonesian family businesses are analyzed via Howe and Strauss’s Generational Theory to evaluate their impact on firm value. This research aims to analyze the influence of good corporate governance mechanisms and firm size on firm value with the family CEO as a moderating variable. This quantitative study of IDX-listed family firms (2019–2024) uses purposive sampling and analyzes data with multiple linear regression and MRA. The simultaneous results indicate that independent commissioners, audit committees, board of directors, and firm size significantly influence firm value. The findings indicate that independent commissioners, audit committees, and firm size exert a positive and significant influence on family firm value, whereas the board of directors does not demonstrate a significant effect. Furthermore, the presence of a family CEO strengthens the positive relationship between independent commissioners, audit committees, and firm size and firm value, but does not moderate the relationship between the board of directors and firm value. These results imply that strengthening governance quality and aligning leadership structure are essential strategies for enhancing value creation in family firms. The findings confirm Howe and Strauss’s theory that modern leadership professionalism preserves family legacy and boosts investor confidence.

Abstract

This study is motivated by the rapid growth of digital payment services in Indonesia, particularly the increasing adoption of e-wallets that has shifted consumer transaction behavior toward digital platforms. However, high download rates do not always translate into active usage, indicating the importance of understanding the factors influencing actual use behavior. This research aims to analyze the effects of performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and trust on behavioral intention and use behavior in the context of GoPay adoption. A quantitative survey approach was applied using purposive sampling, involving 130 non-merchant GoPay users in DKI Jakarta. Data were collected through an online questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The results show that performance expectancy, social influence, and trust have positive and significant effects on behavioral intention and use behavior, while effort expectancy has a positive but non-significant effect. Behavioral intention is identified as the strongest predictor and a key mediating variable influencing actual usage. These findings imply that strengthening perceived benefits, trust, and social-driven engagement is essential to encourage sustained e-wallet usage, beyond merely improving ease of use or increasing application downloads.
