This study explores the role of entrepreneurship in achieving financial independence and fostering community development, with a specific focus on gender and societal norms. The problem addressed is the challenges faced by women entrepreneurs due to cultural expectations, limited access to resources, and difficulties in balancing family responsibilities with business operations. The purpose of this research is to examine how women-led businesses contribute to financial independence and whether societal norms support or hinder their entrepreneurial endeavors. A stratified random sampling method was used to select 180 participants, including both male and female entrepreneurs from diverse industries and geographical regions. Data was collected using a structured survey with Likert-scale and open-ended questions, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to identify trends and challenges. The results indicate that entrepreneurship is widely seen as a pathway to financial independence. However, many respondents, particularly women, reported challenges in securing funding and balancing business with family obligations. Despite these obstacles, women-led businesses were found to significantly contribute to community development by providing employment and creating opportunities for others. In conclusion, while women entrepreneurs face substantial barriers, their businesses play a vital role in both economic and social empowerments. Policy interventions that address these challenges are necessary to fully harness the potential of women-led entrepreneurship.

The telecommunications industry in Indonesia has a strategic role in supporting economic development, especially in supporting economic activities between regions. This study aims to analyze the effect of Return on Asset (ROA), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Sales Growth on Investment Opportunity Set (IOS) in telecommunications companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2015-2020. This study uses a quantitative method with secondary data obtained from the companies financial statements through the official IDX website. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression with the help of SPSS software. The results of the study show that ROA and DER have a significant effect on IOS, while Sales Growth does not have a significant effect partially. Simultaneously, the variables ROA, DER, and Sales Growth have a significant effect on IOS. This study provides implications that the companies financial performance, especially in increasing ROA and managing DER, can increase investment opportunities. Further studies are expected to expand the research variables by using intervening variables for a more comprehensive understanding.

Employee performance and productivity are the main factors in determining the success of an organization, including in the context of education. This study aims to analyze the influence of transformational leadership style and teacher competence on teacher performance with organizational culture as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, this study involved all elementary school teachers as the population and samples with a saturated sampling technique (85 respondents). Data were collected through a Likert scale-based questionnaire and analyzed using inferential statistical methods. The results of the study indicate that transformational leadership style and teacher competence have a direct effect on teacher performance. In addition, organizational culture acts as a partial mediating variable in the relationship between transformational leadership style and teacher competence on teacher performance. Principals who implement transformational leadership tend to create an innovative work environment, while teacher competence contributes to building a strong organizational culture that is oriented towards learning goals. The implications of this study highlight the importance of principals in clarifying the vision and mission of the institution and improving teacher competence in order to create a more effective learning environment.

This study investigated the effect of Leadership Ostracism Behavior (LOB) on Counterproductive Work Behavior (CWB), emphasizing the mediating role of Moral Disengagement (MD) among public sector employees in the East Gojjam Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia. Using a quantitative, explanatory, cross-sectional design, data were collected from 397 public employees through validated Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) in AMOS. Results revealed a negative direct effect of LOB on CWB, indicating that employees exposed to ostracizing leaders were initially less likely to engage in overt deviance, likely due to cultural norms emphasizing hierarchy and respect for authority. However, LOB exhibited a strong positive effect on Moral Disengagement (β = 0.53, p < .001), and MD, in turn, significantly increased CWB (β = 0.40, p < .001). Mediation analysis confirmed that MD fully mediates the relationship between LOB and CWB (indirect effect β = 0.21, p < .001), transforming leadership exclusion into delayed counterproductive behavior through moral rationalization. These findings highlight that while ostracism may suppress immediate retaliation, it erodes employees’ moral self-regulation, fostering cognitive justification for unethical acts. The study contributes to leadership and organizational behavior literature by demonstrating that the consequences of destructive leadership unfold through moral-cognitive mechanisms rather than direct behavioral responses. Practically, the results underscore the need for ethical leadership training, moral engagement programs, and inclusive communication structures within Ethiopia’s public institutions to mitigate the hidden costs of ostracizing leadership and promote ethical, high-performing workplaces.

Many youth organizations, including the Youth of Nahdlatul Wathan (NW) Sumbawa Besar Organization, struggle to optimize managerial performance due to mismatched leadership styles and low member motivation, which reduce operational effectiveness and productivity, underscoring the need to evaluate how leadership style impacts performance by improving motivation. This study aims to analyze the impact of leadership style on managerial performance, both directly and indirectly through motivation as a mediating variable. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected via a Likert scale-based questionnaire from 51 administrators in Sumbawa Besar Regency and analyzed using SEM-PLS. The results indicate that leadership style significantly affects managerial performance and notably boosts member motivation, which in turn enhances managerial performance. This finding confirms the mediating role of motivation in the relationship between leadership and performance. Therefore, the implementation of adaptive leadership styles and member empowerment is essential for improving the operational effectiveness of organizations. In the Youth of NW Sumbawa Besar Organization, motivation plays a vital role as a mediator that amplifies the influence of leadership style on managerial performance, extending its effects beyond direct impact. This finding has not been documented in prior studies concerning the Youth of NW Sumbawa Besar Organization. The implications of this study offer a practical framework for youth organization managers to create leadership training programs aimed at boosting motivation.
