Abstract

This research examines the correlation between capital structure (as proxied by Debt-to-Equity Ratio) and several financial performance indicators, including profitability, asset structure, liquidity, and firm size. This research focuses on 18 coal mining companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) by at least 2020. The data is derived from the financial reports published on the IDX between 2020 and 2022. Multiple Linear Regression technique is being employed to determine the correlations. Before employing the Multiple Linear Regression technique, several tests were conducted to examine the data's validity and reliability, including normality, multicollinearity, autocorrelation, and heteroscedasticity tests. Multiple Linear Regression is employed after the data passes the tests, consisting of partial regression, ANOVA, and goodness-of-fit tests. This research found that profitability and liquidity negatively correlate with capital structure. At the same time, asset structure and firm size positively correlate with capital structure. Overall, the result of this research supports Pecking Order Theory, in which firms are preferred to use internal financing first. When firms generate higher profits and cash flow, they may consider re-balancing external financing. This research also concludes that profitability, asset structure, liquidity, and firm size represent 47.7% of the variables correlated with capital structure. Future research may be conducted to seek other variables that have not been included in this research yet but are correlated with capital structure.

Abstract

The demand for negotiation training has grown steadily, driven by the need to thrive in an ever-changing business landscape. Numerous studies have been conducted to identify effective approaches to negotiation training. However, the pace of development in negotiation training has not kept up with the increasing demand. This research aims to shed light on current trends in negotiation training research to identify gaps that can be addressed through further investigation. In order to explore this topic, a comprehensive examination was conducted using the Scopus database, resulting in the selection of 39 journal articles for further analysis. The findings of this review reveal several gaps in the existing literature, particularly concerning the integration of information and communication technology (ICT) in negotiation training. Furthermore, the review highlights a tendency for negotiation training to remain static, lacking the ability to capture and provide feedback on the dynamic changes during the negotiation process.

Abstract

This research aims to understand the factors that influence venture capital investment decisions in startups and create a model for making these decisions. The Analytic Hierarchy Process method gathered data from venture capitalists and investors. To design a decision-making concept model, this study examined various factors considered in venture capital and investors' decision on an investment based on previous significant studies. It employed 16 evaluation items centered on four areas —entrepreneur, product and service, market, and finance. The results concluded that the product/service sector was the most important area, with the product's value being the most important factor. Business compatibility is the second most important factor, followed by the entrepreneur sector. This research conducted a survey based on a sample from Indonesia. The conclusion of this study is expected to help venture capitalists and investors better judge startup funding.

Abstract

The food and beverage service industry has grown rapidly in Bandung region over the past ten years. The industry itself is a customer-focused industry. In this regard, employees are a valuable asset for a company. Therefore, a company needs to have employees engaged in their workplace. The ability of engaged employees to assist the business in numerous ways, particularly concerning sustainability, has also been demonstrated. As a holding company founded in 2017, PT XYZ manages six cafe branches in Bandung and Cimahi. During an interview, the human resources manager stated that in 2022, the turnover rate increased by 4% compared to the previous year in 2021, when there were no resignations at all. Apart from that, many employees are content to stay in the company. In addition, the company had never conducted an employee engagement assessment to measure employee engagement to the company since it did not have the tools while measuring employee engagement is considered important for improving its overall performance. The researcher chose the Aon Hewitt employee engagement model to measure employee engagement because it can classify and identify facets of employee engagement consisting of “say, stay, strive.” The model can also determine which drivers influence an employee’s engagement or disengagement. A Likert scale-based questionnaire from 1 to 6 was distributed to 122 employees as part of the research’s quantitative methodology. The study’s findings indicate that 81% of PT XYZ employees are highly engaged, with an average of 80% of employees representing “say, stay, strive.” In addition, diversity and inclusion is a driver that influences employees to be engaged, with a value of 92.37, while the last-ranked driver is a risk, with a value of 64.69.

Abstract

An organization's innovation potential is highly correlated with its ability to use its intellectual and organizational knowledge resources. Consequently, hiring high-potential individuals is one of the key issues for businesses looking to maintain a competitive advantage in the sector. However, the workforce is experiencing a demographic shift as Generation Z enters the job market in significant numbers. Given that Generation Z will ultimately dominate the workforce, this demographic shift poses a long-term challenge for businesses to understand their demands, preferences, and factors impacting their interest in applying for jobs. Additionally, establishing gender equality and increasing the involvement of women in the workforce are top recruitment goals for businesses today. In light of these circumstances, this study examines how different aspects of employer branding influence Generation Z women's intention to apply for a job and whether the person-organization fit plays a mediating role. The research employs a quantitative approach, distributing questionnaires to 335 female students of Generation Z at Bandung Institute of Technology, which will be analyzed using PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling). The findings demonstrate that within the context of Generation Z at Bandung Institute of Technology, four of the five employer branding dimensions—development, economic, application, and interest value—significantly and positively impact the intention to apply for a job. However, the study also indicates that person-organization fit does not act as a mediating variable in this regard. This research offers valuable insights to companies, allowing them to improve their existing employer branding strategies and enhance their recruiting and talent acquisition approaches. By effectively attracting, engaging, and retaining Generation Z women in the workforce, companies can foster greater gender diversity and equality in the present job market.

Abstract

In 2020, fossil fuels accounted for around 80% of the world's energy supply, but the 2022 global energy crisis highlighted their vulnerability and lack of sustainability, prompting a global shift towards renewable energy sources. Indonesia, recognizing its potential in renewable energy, has taken proactive steps to accelerate its transition, such as the issuance of Peraturan Presiden Nomor 112 Tahun 2022 to facilitate renewable energy development. PT Kencana Energi Lestari Tbk responded positively to the regulation and has allocated USD 30 million in 2023 to implement renewable energy strategies. They are also pursuing a USD 100 million renewable energy project in the Philippines. To fund its initiatives, PT Kencana Energi Lestari Tbk plans to use USD 9 million from internal cash reserves and obtain an additional USD 121 million from external financing sources. However, their current capital structure has a debt-to-equity ratio of 76.84%, which deviates significantly from the industry average of 35.92%, suggesting that it may not be optimal. This study employs the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC) method to identify the most optimal capital structure that will maximize the company's value. The suggested capital structure consists of 34% debt and 66% equity, resulting in an optimal cost of capital of 12.2868%. To implement their renewable energy plan, PT Kencana Energi Lestari Tbk needs to secure a total funding of USD 23,947,572.54 through debt financing and USD 97,052,427.46 through equity financing. Keywords: optimal capital structure; renewable energy; financing plan

Abstract

In 2022, PT XYZ faced a decline in net sales of -16.42%. At the same time, Indonesia's furniture industry also faced a decline in export value. This research analyses PT XYZ's financial performance from 2018 to 2022, specifically regarding its debt repayment capability. Financial ratios from several aspects, such as profitability, liquidity, activity, and solvency ratios, will be generated to reflect the firm's performance and trend in the past five years. Other than evaluating the firm's financial ratios, this research will also evaluate the firm's compliance with financial loan covenants in existing bank loans and bond issuance. From the financial ratio analysis, the firm's performance plummeted in 2022, mainly due to the decline in sales experienced by PT XYZ. There may be some issues regarding the firm's liquidity performance. However, it can be seen from the solvency ratios such as DSCR and Interest Coverage Ratio that the firm can still meet its obligations in paying its debt interest and principal payments. Compliance with financial loan covenants indicates a covenant breach in the debt-to-EBITDA ratio, which is applied as a financial loan covenant by Bank DEF and Bank JKL. However, the firm can still pay its debt principal and even pay off the credit facilities. The research found that the decline in sales faced by the firm significantly impacted the firm's weakened financial performance in 2022. Regarding compliance with financial loan covenants from bank loans and bond issuance, the covenant breach does not affect the firm's capability in debt repayments.

Abstract

Climate change drives countries and the private sector to reduce their emission. Investors are becoming aware of sustainability issues and are more likely to prioritize companies demonstrating strong ESG. Adapting to this condition, coal mining companies in Indonesia are improving their ESG performance, one of which is PT Indika Energi Tbk (INDY). As one of the biggest mining companies in Indonesia, INDY has carried out sustainability initiatives and made it one of the companies with the best ESG scores compared to its competitors. However, Indika Energy's good ESG performance was not followed by its good stock performance. This phenomenon initiated the author to analyze how the business transition to low-carbon and Net Zero Emission (NZE) development by INDY will affect the stock valuation. The valuation was based on the Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method, forecasting ten years of future financial statements considering the company's past performance and strategy. The evaluation was conducted under the Business-As-Usual (BAU) and the NZE Transition Scenario. The author also calculates relative valuations to achieve a more thorough and robust assessment of company value. Based on the DCF method, the intrinsic value of INDY is Rp 2,899 and Rp 2,726 per share for BAU and the NZE Transition Scenario, respectively, while the market price of a share is 1,910 as of the end of Jun-23, which indicated that current share price is undervalued. Therefore, it is recommended that investors buy INDY stock at the current price. The results also showed that the company's diversification strategy did not increase the value of its shares. This outcome might be attributed to the lack of strong incentives from the government or the capital market for supporting sustainable business practices. The company should take the initiative to increase the value, optimize capital structure, and assess assets.

Abstract

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effectiveness of lead-time management strategies in influencing the operational efficiency of manufacturing enterprises. While prior studies have recognized lead time as a crucial factor impacting supply chain performance, scant attention has been paid to the specific contribution of lead-time management strategies in this context. Hence, this study aimed to bridge this gap. By employing a descriptive survey research design, data were collected from a sample of 153 manufacturing firms selected through purposive sampling. The primary data collection instrument was a structured questionnaire, and statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS software. The findings indicate that early involvement of suppliers in product design and dissemination of accurate customer specifications significantly reduces lead time. Process automation and efficient transport management, including route planning and vehicle scheduling, were found to enhance supply chain performance. Consequently, the study concludes that early supplier involvement, process automation, and effective transport management positively impact supply chain performance. Based on these findings, it is recommended that manufacturing companies prioritize initiatives aimed at reducing lead time, such as minimizing waiting times, engaging suppliers early in the process, automating processes, and improving transport management in order to enhance overall supply chain performance.

Abstract

This study investigates the effectiveness of bullying interventions in addressing student bullying within secondary schools in Machakos County. Anchored on social learning theory, which elucidates the role of behavior in fostering bullying among learners, the research employed a descriptive survey research design to gather and analyze primary data. A sample of 333 respondents was drawn from a population of 116,053 individuals across 36 schools. Questionnaires and interview guides served as the primary research instruments. The analysis encompassed both qualitative and quantitative methods. Results revealed persistent student bullying despite intervention efforts, with disciplinary measures like suspensions and punishments predominantly employed. Conversely, restorative interventions, anti-bullying programs, and supportive measures were underutilized, demonstrating ineffectiveness in bullying eradication. The study underscores the prevalence of student bullying in secondary schools, attributing it to the inadequate implementation of interventions. Recommendations urge school principals and stakeholders to enhance the efficacy of bullying interventions in secondary education settings.
