Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of service quality, interpersonal communication of medical personnel, and facility availability on patient satisfaction at Pangkalpinang City General Hospital (RSUD Kota Pangkalpinang), as well as to examine the mediating role of patients' economic perception. A quantitative approach was employed through a survey method involving 218 outpatient and inpatient respondents. Data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) based on Partial Least Squares (PLS) with the SmartPLS 4 application. The results indicate that service quality, interpersonal communication, and facility availability have a positive and significant effect on patient satisfaction. Furthermore, patients’ economic perception significantly mediates the relationship between service quality and interpersonal communication with patient satisfaction, but does not significantly mediate the relationship between facility availability and patient satisfaction. These findings underscore the importance of improving service quality and interpersonal communication, as well as strengthening patients’ economic perception to optimize patient satisfaction in hospitals. This research provides practical implications for hospital management in designing more holistic and patient-oriented service quality improvement strategies.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of profitability, investment strategy, and financial results on stock returns of companies in the infrastructure sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the period 2020-2024. The methodology used consists of panel data regression using a quantitative framework, referring to secondary data sourced from companies' annual financial reports. The independent variables investigated include Return on Assets (ROA) as a profitability metric, total assets that serve as a proxy for investment strategy, and current ratio as a benchmark for financial performance. The research findings show that ROA and total assets exert a positive and statistically significant influence on stock returns, while the current ratio shows no significant impact. These findings indicate that investors tend to consider profitability and asset strength when making investment decisions in the infrastructure sector. This study provides practical implications for company management and investors, and recommends further research by including external variables and comparing with other sectors to obtain a more comprehensive understanding.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of capital structure, liquidity, and firm size on firm value in the technology sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for 2019–2023. Using panel data regression with the random effects model, the results reveal that both capital structures, as measured by Debt-to-Equity Ratio, and liquidity, as measured by Current Ratio, have a significant and positive effect on firm value. The findings indicate that technology companies that manage their leverage and liquidity efficiently tend to achieve higher market valuations. In contrast, firm size does not have a significant impact on firm value in this sector. The results are consistent with the Trade-Off Theory and Liquidity Theory, which emphasize the importance of optimal debt usage and adequate liquidity for enhancing firm value and investor confidence. These findings have practical implications for technology firms to optimize their capital structure and maintain healthy liquidity levels. For future research, it is recommended to include other variables such as profitability and macroeconomic factors, and to conduct comparative studies across different sectors to enrich the understanding of determinants of firm value.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence students' investment intentions in Bangka Belitung, by highlighting the role of investment education, risk perception, price perception, and motivation as mediating variables. Using a quantitative approach with PLS-SEM analysis techniques, data were obtained from 286 students in various universities. The results show that price perception has the most dominant direct influence on investment intentions, indicating students' sensitivity to the affordability aspect. Meanwhile, investment education does not show a significant influence, suggesting the possibility of inappropriate material or delivery methods. Interestingly, risk perception has a positive effect on motivation, which then mediates investment intentions, illustrating that risk is seen as a challenge, not an obstacle. Motivation plays an important role in bridging perceptions to real actions. The socio-cultural context of Bangka Belitung, which is still dominated by traditional investment and limited digital access, reinforces the importance of locally-based financial literacy. This study provides recommendations for designing investment education programs that are contextual, affordable, and able to inspire the younger generation in making rational and sustainable investment decisions.

Abstract

This research explores the role of the kipang home industry in improving household income and promoting community empowerment in Panyabungan District, Mandailing Natal Regency. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the study involved five kipang entrepreneurs as primary respondents. Data were collected through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis was conducted to derive key insights. The findings reveal that the kipang home industry significantly contributes to increasing household income, creating informal employment, and strengthening social solidarity within the community. Most of the business actors are women, indicating the potential for women's economic empowerment. Furthermore, this industry plays a role in preserving local culinary traditions while supporting the growth of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs). However, challenges such as limited access to capital, market reach, and business management skills remain. The study suggests the need for training, legal business registration, and digital transformation to enhance sustainability and competitiveness. Ultimately, the kipang home industry serves not only as an alternative economic source but also as a catalyst for inclusive and sustainable local development.

Abstract

The rapid advancement of information technology has significantly impacted the communication process, making it crucial in today's fast-paced world. Internet technology has been instrumental in meeting this need, but there is no consensus on the definition of E-Commerce, as it is a complex issue involving science, technology, economics, and law.

The results of this study show that Suru-Suru All Delivery has fulfilled consumer rights as stipulated in Law Number 8 of 1999 on Consumer Protection, as seen from the interviews conducted by the researcher with consumers and the director of Suru-Suru All Delivery. Consumer protection in online transactions (E-Commerce) at Suru-Suru All Delivery is fundamentally in accordance with Sharia business ethics because the consumer protection provided by Suru-Suru All Delivery aligns with the principles of Sharia business ethics.

Abstract

The Human Development Index (HDI) is one of the indicators used to measure the social and economic progress of a region. However, in the Islamic perspective, human development is not only assessed from economic and social aspects alone, but also from spiritual and moral aspects. This article aims to analyze the Human Development Index (HDI) in Mandailing Natal in 2024, using a holistic Islamic perspective. This study shows that although the HDI in Mandailing Natal has increased, there is significant inequality in the aspects of social welfare and education. From an Islamic perspective, human development must include a balance between material and spiritual needs, which reflects a more just and prosperous quality of life.

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the effect of exercise, competition, and motivation on work engagement and employee performance, with work engagement as a mediating variable in employees of the Pangkal Pinang City Health Office. The research method used is quantitative with the Structural Equation Modelling-Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) approach, involving 112 purposively selected respondents. The analysis results show that specifically, competition is the factor that has the most significant effect on work engagement and employee performance, followed by motivation with a moderate effect, while exercise shows the least effect. Work engagement was shown to partially mediate the relationship between motivation and competition on employee performance. These findings confirm the importance of human resource development strategies that not only focus on training but also on creating a healthy competitive environment, increasing motivation, and strengthening work engagement to encourage optimal employee performance. This study recommends the need to develop an integrated organisational programme to improve employee engagement and performance, as well as further research by expanding the variables and methods used.
