Abstract

The aim of this paper is to conduct bibliometric analysis of value-based marketing studies and to identify patterns of their intellectual structure, research tendencies, and scientific collaboration by applying the approach of network analysis of publications found in Scopus. Bibliometric methods were used for analyzing the co-occurrence of keywords, author co-citations, institutional collaboration, country collaboration, citation impact, and topic evolution. The results demonstrate that the research in value-based marketing mostly relates to two major directions: customer-centered marketing and value assessment in healthcare. The results of the co-occurrence of keywords suggest that the major keywords include marketing, customer value, sales, commerce, value-based pricing, drug marketing, and cost-effectiveness analysis. The overlay network analysis proves the transition from classical topics like customer value and marketing strategies to new topics of health care economics, value-based pricing, reimbursement policies, and decision-making based on outcomes. Finally, density analysis also confirms the most studied topics to be marketing, sales, drug marketing, and drug costs. Collaborations demonstrate that the US remains the leading country in terms of international cooperation, while European and Asian countries contribute to the development of value-based marketing. Citation analysis highlights influential studies focusing on perceived value, digital marketing, customer engagement, relationship marketing, and value-based differentiation.

Abstract

Climate change has intensified the need for innovative financing mechanisms capable of supporting resilience-building initiatives and addressing the substantial adaptation financing gap. Among these mechanisms, blended finance has emerged as a strategic approach that combines public, private, and philanthropic capital to mobilize investment for sustainable development and climate-related projects. Despite growing scholarly interest in blended finance and climate resilience, a comprehensive understanding of the intellectual structure and evolution of this research field remains limited. Therefore, this study aims to map the development, knowledge structure, and emerging trends of blended finance for climate resilience through a bibliometric analysis. Data were collected from the Scopus database using relevant search terms related to blended finance and climate resilience. The retrieved bibliographic records were analyzed using VOSviewer to examine publication trends, co-authorship networks, institutional and country collaborations, citation patterns, and keyword co-occurrence relationships. The findings reveal that blended finance, climate change, finance, investments, and climate finance constitute the core themes of the literature. Overlay visualization indicates a recent shift toward research on renewable energy, energy transitions, carbon markets, and decarbonization, reflecting the growing integration of climate resilience and sustainable investment agendas. Collaboration analysis highlights the prominent roles of the United Kingdom and the United States as major contributors to the field, while citation analysis identifies climate finance governance and sustainable transition financing as the most influential research streams. The study concludes that blended finance has evolved into a multidisciplinary research domain that plays a critical role in mobilizing resources for climate resilience and sustainable development.

Abstract

This study investigates collaborative social work practices in the context of female juvenile rehabilitation in Indonesia, focusing on the operationalization of the ATENSI (Social Rehabilitation Assistance) framework. Triggered by the increasing vulnerability of adolescent girls, the research explores how integrated, multi-stakeholder, and trauma-informed approaches can enhance institutional care. While ATENSI offers a policy-level shift toward inclusive and holistic service delivery, its implementation in gender-specific settings remains underexplored. Using a mixed-methods sequential explanatory design, the study combines survey data from 75 social workers with qualitative insights from interviews, focus group discussions, and field observations at two major rehabilitation centers. Findings reveal strong internal collaboration, particularly between social workers and psychologists, but limited integration of vocational trainers and external stakeholders, such as NGOs and local governments. Barriers include digital inequities, absence of trauma-informed SOPs, role ambiguity, and sociocultural taboos related to female trauma. The study contributes both empirical and conceptual advancements to global social work discourse. Empirically, it maps gender-responsive collaboration dynamics in a rarely studied Global South context. Conceptually, it introduces the ATENSI Gender-Responsive Collaborative Framework—an integrative model synthesizing collaborative governance, networked social work, and trauma-informed gender-sensitive practice. This research addresses a critical knowledge gap by offering a scalable, context-adaptive model for institutional rehabilitation systems dealing with compounded vulnerabilities in adolescent girls. Its findings are relevant for international audiences seeking to strengthen collaborative practices in gender-responsive care, particularly in resource-constrained settings.

Abstract

Employee loyalty and productivity are critical factors influencing organizational performance and long-term competitiveness, particularly in multinational companies operating in dynamic business environments. Organizations increasingly invest in managerial training programs and employee welfare programs to enhance workforce effectiveness and commitment. However, limited research has comparatively examined the relative influence of these initiatives on employee loyalty and productivity within the context of Indonesian multinational companies. This study aims to analyze and compare the effects of managerial training programs and welfare programs on employee loyalty and productivity. A quantitative research approach was employed using data collected from 175 employees working in multinational companies across Indonesia. Data were gathered through structured questionnaires measured using a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The findings indicate that both managerial training programs and welfare programs have positive and significant effects on employee loyalty and productivity. Managerial training programs significantly influence employee loyalty and employee productivity, while welfare programs significantly affect employee loyalty and employee productivity. The results further reveal that welfare programs exert a stronger impact on employee loyalty, whereas managerial training programs demonstrate a greater influence on employee productivity. These findings suggest that multinational companies should adopt a balanced human resource strategy that combines employee development initiatives with comprehensive welfare support to maximize organizational performance, employee commitment, and workforce effectiveness. This study contributes to the human resource management literature by providing comparative evidence regarding the effectiveness of training and welfare interventions in multinational corporate settings.

Abstract

Air pollution and traffic congestion continue to pose significant challenges to sustainable urban development in Jakarta. Rapid population growth, increasing vehicle ownership, and expanding mobility demands have intensified environmental degradation and transportation inefficiencies throughout the metropolitan area. This study aims to analyze the influence of sustainable transportation policies and mobility technologies on reducing air pollution and traffic congestion in Jakarta. A quantitative research approach was employed using data collected from 175 respondents representing public perceptions of urban transportation conditions. Data were gathered through a structured questionnaire utilizing a five-point Likert scale and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS 3). The findings reveal that sustainable transportation policy has a positive and significant effect on air pollution reduction and traffic congestion reduction. Furthermore, mobility technology significantly influences air pollution reduction and demonstrates the strongest effect on traffic congestion reduction. The model explains 66.4% of the variance in air pollution reduction and 70.1% of the variance in traffic congestion reduction, indicating substantial explanatory power. The results suggest that the integration of sustainable transportation policies and smart mobility technologies can effectively improve environmental quality and transportation efficiency in Jakarta. This study contributes to the sustainable urban mobility literature by providing empirical evidence that policy interventions and technological innovations function as complementary mechanisms for addressing complex transportation challenges in rapidly urbanizing cities.

Abstract

This study conducts a bibliometric analysis of research on employer branding within the recruitment process to map its intellectual structure, thematic evolution, and global collaboration patterns. Data were retrieved from indexed scientific publications and analyzed using VOSviewer to examine co-occurrence networks, co-authorship structures, country collaborations, density visualization, and citation analysis. The findings reveal that employer branding serves as a central construct strongly associated with recruitment, employer attractiveness, and social media, highlighting its strategic role in talent acquisition processes. The intellectual foundation of the field is primarily shaped by seminal works such as Backhaus and Tikoo (2004), while contemporary studies extend the discourse toward digital transformation, artificial intelligence, and data-driven recruitment systems. Thematic analysis indicates that the literature is organized into several clusters, including recruitment strategies, organizational attractiveness, psychological theories (e.g., signaling theory and social identity theory), and technology-enabled hiring systems. Overlay and density visualizations further show a temporal shift from foundational HR branding concepts toward emerging themes such as AI, e-recruitment, and gamification.
