Background: The implementation of regional autonomy will directly affect the regional financial financing, management and supervision system. The regional financing system in the context of regional autonomy is one of the most important aspects. To realize this, regional governments have rights and obligations over regional finances in organizing their regional government. Therefore, the regional government creates a Regional Revenue and Expenditure Budget/Anggaran Pendapatan dan Belanja Daerah (APBD) as an annual regional financial plan that is determined through Regional Regulations. APBD contains regional government revenues and expenditures in a certain period. This research aims to prove whether there is an influence of Regional Original Income, General Allocation Funds, and Special Allocation Funds on capital expenditure of district/city governments in Bengkulu Province. Method: This research uses samples from the financial reports of district/city governments throughout Bengkulu Province which have been audited by the Republic of Indonesia Financial Audit Agency/Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan Republik Indonesia (BPK) from 2019-2022. Finding: Theoretically, it is hoped that this research will be useful as material for building new concepts and can be useful as a reference for further research. A limitation in this research is the availability of data or reports needed to carry out this research. So, researchers look for data or reports on other websites which takes quite a long time. Conclusion: The results of this study indicate that the Regional Original Income and Special Allocation Fund variables have no effect on capital expenditure, and the General Allocation Fund variable has an effect on capital expenditure. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study presents a comprehensive analysis of the influence of Local Revenue, General Allocation Fund, and Special Allocation Fund on capital expenditure in districts/cities in Bengkulu Province from 2019-2022. The results of this study provide new insights into the dynamics of regional finance in the context of regional autonomy in Bengkulu Province, which can be used as a reference for optimizing regional budgets in the future.

Background: Sidoarjo Regency, East Java, is often hit by tornadoes that cause material losses and injuries, especially at PT. Mutiara Masyhur Sejahtera located in Sidoarjo. This phenomenon encourages the need to improve disaster preparedness and response. Method: This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with primary data collection through direct observation and in-depth interviews with the company's Project Manager. Secondary data covering organizational structure and number of employees are also used. Data is analyzed through a reduction process to ensure relevant and accurate information. Findings: Although PT. Mutiara Masyhur Sejahtera already has fire protection equipment, such as Light Fire Extinguishers, but there is no system or policy that regulates emergency response management for fires or other disasters. Forming an Emergency Response Team and creating Procedures and Work Instructions (IKA) regarding Emergency Response are needed as a reference when an emergency occurs. Conclusion: To improve disaster preparedness, companies must equip themselves with an occupational safety and health management system that regulates all compliance related to K3 aspects. This aims to prevent work accidents and occupational diseases, reduce the negative impact of disasters and improve overall work safety. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study presents a new approach to improving disaster preparedness in the private sector, especially for companies operating in disaster-prone areas such as Sidoarjo. This study proposes the integration of an occupational safety and health management system (OHSMS) with a particular focus on disaster emergency response management, which can be a model for other companies in improving disaster resilience.

Background: Globally, firms face a crucial problem with employee retention since it has a big impact on their sustainability, profitability, and productivity. The goal of this study is to propose management interventions that may be implemented to improve employee retention of medical representatives by assessing the Two-factor variables that affect it using Partial Least Squared Structual Equation Modeling. Methods: As part of the research approach, a thorough analysis of existing literatures and studies on employee retention, including scholarly journals was conducted. In the context of investigated study, the findings indicate that employee retention is significantly and positively influenced by factors such as compensation and benefits and promotion. The mediation effect of Organizational Citizenship Behavior to the relationship of compensation and benefits and employee retention; and promotion and employee retention is found not significant. Findings: The results of the study also showed that Leader-Member Exchange positively and significantly moderates the relationship between coworker relations and employee retention; and working conditions and employee retention. Conclusion: The study concludes that employee retention is a complex problem that needs a comprehensive approach to effectively solve. Although other Two-factor variables did not demonstrate a strong correlation with employee retention, this does not imply that they are not meaningful. It is possible that in the circumstances of the study under investigation, promotions, pay, and benefits are more strongly associated with employee retention. To learn more about this connection, future research may examine what constitutes high-quality LMX and how organizations might promote a favorable culture between leaders and employees. Novelty/Originality of this Study: This study contributes to understanding the specific factors influencing employee retention in the context of medical representatives, with an emphasis on the moderating role of Leader-Member Exchange and its effect on coworker relations and working conditions.

Background: Positioned as the bedrock of Indonesia's economic resilience, Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) stand out as a focal point for the Indonesian government's efforts to fortify the nation's economy. The inexorable march of the Fourth Industrial Revolution requires adaptive measures by MSMEs to ensure their survival. Methods: The research examines the financial literacy levels within a community development program initiated by a financial institution, with a specific focus on the micro-business segment. Moreover, using SWOT analysis, an assessment of the community development program implemented by one of the financial institutions in Indonesia was conducted through which micro-entrepreneurs have succeeded in improving financial literacy, one of which is by having a bank account. Findings: The empowerment strategy involves imparting financial knowledge and acquainting MSME communities with digital platforms to foster their growth. Financial literacy is very important to accelerate the reach and bring financial facilities closer to the community in the form of additional capital from microcredit. Conclusion: To accelerate this process, community development initiatives and capacity-building programs for Micro and Small enterprise actors become essential, aiming to elevate their proficiency in business management, enhance production competitiveness, streamline small business enterprise management, and fulfill the evolving marketing needs of micro-business actors. Novelty/Originality of the Article: This article emphasizes the importance of financial literacy in facilitating the access to microcredit, helping micro-businesses gain financial knowledge and resources to improve their operations and sustainability.
