The result shows that capital structure has a significant negative relationship effect on firm performance, while agency cost shows a significant positive relationship to firm performance. Capital structure resulted to a significant non-linear effect on firm performance. Capital structure doesn't not have a significant effect on firm performance when using agency cost as moderation. Agency cost doesn’t mediate capital structure to effect firm performance.

Abstract

The importance of entrepreneurial knowledge and social media in increasing the success of women's fashion MSMEs in Central Jakarta, especially amidst increasingly tight business competition. This study aims to analyze the influence of these two factors on business success by considering family support as a moderating factor. Entrepreneurial knowledge helps business actors in recognizing opportunities, managing risks, and adapting in a dynamic and competitive market. Meanwhile, social media acts as an effective marketing tool to reach consumers at a relatively low cost. Family support is believed to provide additional stability and motivation for MSME owners. This study uses a descriptive quantitative method with a Partial Least Square-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) approach and involves 106 respondents of women's fashion MSMEs in Central Jakarta. The results of the study indicate that entrepreneurial knowledge has a positive and significant influence on business success. However, the influence of social media on business success is positive but not significant. In addition, family support has a positive and significant influence on business success. As a moderating variable, family support is not significant in moderating the influence of entrepreneurial knowledge and social media on business success. This study suggests that MSMEs should focus more on improving their understanding of entrepreneurship and maximizing the use of social media effectively, while further research can expand the scope of business sectors and variables studied for more comprehensive results.

This study was carried out with the objective of determining the effect of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) on Real Earnings Management (REM) practices using board characteristics as a moderating variable that determined by board size, board independence, CEO duality, board expertise, and gender diversity. This research employs a quantitive approach, utilizing purposive sampling technique with a sample of 31 non-cylical consumer sector companies that listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the periods of 2009-2011 and 2019-2023. Data is processed using STATA application with the PCSE Estimator feature in testing the hypothesis. This research results indicate that IFRS, board independence, board expertise, and gender diversity do not exert a substantial on REM. While board size exerts a considerable negative influence on REM and CEO duality exerts a considerable positive influence on REM. In addition, it was found that board size moderates significantly positive for the correlation between IFRS and REM, where CEO duality and board expertise moderate significantly negative. However, there’s no moderating effect of board independence and gender diversity variables were found in this study. So it can be concluded that board characteristics partially moderate the correlaction between IFRS and REM.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of leverage on firm value with profitability and firm size acting as influencing variables in non-cyclical sector companies listed on the Indonesia’s Capital Market between 2020 - 2023. This study uses 188 observation data from 47 companies selected through the purposive sampling. Tobin’s Q is utilized to calculate firm value, while leverage is evaluated using the ratio of debt to total assets. The Return on Assets (ROA) ratio measures profitability, whereas the natural logarithm of total assets is employed to assess firm size. Multivariate linear regression analysis in the first model without moderation shows that leverage and profitability have a considerable favorable impact on firm value. In contrast, firm size has a considerable adverse impact. In the second model, profitability was tested as a influencing variable in the link between leverage and firm value, but no significant moderating effect was found. The same thing is also found in the third model, where firm size as a moderating variable does not have a meaningful impact on the leverage-firm value connection. The study’s result demonstrates that although leverage, profitability, and company size impact firm value directly, profitability and firm size as moderating variables are not strong enough to affect the dynamics between leverage and firm value. Therefore, it is recommended that company management focus more on optimizing financial structure and operational efficiency without relying too much on company size growth to increase firm value.
