Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of Non-Performing Loans (NPLs) in the Indonesian banking sector by examining both internal and external factors affecting financial stability. The variables included in the research are NPL, Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), lending interest rate, inflation, Household Debt to Income (HDTI), fintech lending, and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR). Using annual secondary data from 2005 to 2024, sourced from the World Bank and Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the study employs a Vector Autoregression (VAR) method. This method includes stationarity tests, optimal lag selection, cointegration tests, Impulse Response Function (IRF), and Forecast Error Variance Decomposition (FEVD). The results show that most variables demonstrate a dominant contribution from their own shocks, although interactions between variables remain significant. The IRF analysis reveals that CAR and HDTI are relatively stable and quickly return to equilibrium, while fintech lending, inflation, and NPLs show more volatile responses, making them more susceptible to external shocks. LDR and lending interest rates are sensitive in the short term but tend to stabilize over the long run. FEVD further indicates that inflation plays a significant role in driving NPL variations, while fintech lending is closely associated with CAR in the long term. The study concludes that the stability of Indonesia’s banking sector is influenced by both internal factors like CAR and LDR, as well as external factors such as inflation, fintech lending, and household debt. Thus, a coordinated approach involving monetary policy, macroprudential measures, and financial supervision is crucial to enhance the resilience of the banking sector against global and domestic economic shifts.

Abstract

The goal of the current study was to identify the motifs found in the pertinent empirical literature. Following a thorough review of the literature, the current study found that globalization has affected the employment rate, exacerbated gender disparities, and altered trade and employment in the labor market. Additionally, the study found that FDI has several significant impacts on sectorial employment, employment productivity, employment in the private sector, and employment creation. The study also showed that the mixed impacts of remittances on labor and employment vary across economies. In a similar vein, it has been demonstrated that trade openness influences employment shifts. Furthermore, the analysis highlights that technological advancement, often accelerated by globalization, contributes to labor market polarization by increasing the demand for high-skilled workers while reducing opportunities for low-skilled labor. The study emphasizes that while globalization offers opportunities for economic growth, it also poses challenges in achieving inclusive and equitable employment. Therefore, effective policy measures are required to balance trade liberalization, foreign investment inflows, and domestic labor protection. These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how globalization shapes employment dynamics and economic structures, offering insights for policymakers aiming to promote sustainable labor market development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of self-efficacy and job characteristics on the job satisfaction of freelance photographers in Surabaya. The background of this research is based on the growth of the gig economy, which has encouraged the emergence of independent work patterns where workers have the freedom to manage their own time, methods, and projects. However, this freelance work system also presents various challenges, such as project uncertainty, fluctuating workloads, and limited structured support or evaluation. In the context of freelance photography, these dynamics are particularly evident, as the work demands not only creativity but also managerial skills to organize work processes independently. This study employs a quantitative approach using a survey method with questionnaires distributed to 100 freelance photographers selected through purposive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Partial Least Squares (PLS) method. The results indicate that self-efficacy and job characteristics significantly contribute to shaping job satisfaction. Strong self-efficacy particularly previous work experience enhances freelancers’ confidence in facing challenges, while clear job characteristics, especially in terms of task identity, make them feel more directed, valued, and satisfied with their work. These findings emphasize the importance of both internal and external factors in determining job satisfaction and provide theoretical as well as practical contributions to the management of freelance workers in the creative sector, particularly in designing adaptive work strategies in the digital economy era.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of self-efficacy and motivation on entrepreneurial interest among students of the Entrepreneurship Study Program, Class of 2022, at Universitas Pembangunan Nasional “Veteran” Jawa Timur. Using a quantitative survey method, data were collected from 53 respondents through questionnaires and analyzed with the Partial Least Square (PLS) approach using SmartPLS software. The findings indicate that self-efficacy significantly enhances students’ entrepreneurial interest. Students with strong confidence in their ability to lead, organize, and manage business activities tend to develop higher entrepreneurial intentions. Likewise, motivation has a positive impact on entrepreneurial interest, where the drive to achieve success and self-fulfillment becomes a major factor influencing students to engage in entrepreneurship. The study emphasizes the need to cultivate self-efficacy and intrinsic motivation as essential components in developing independent, confident, and competitive young entrepreneurs who are ready to create innovative business opportunities and contribute to economic growth.

Abstract

Amidst the current changing global conditions, it is important for a country to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to face challenges in sustainable development, social inequality, and strengthen economic and environmental resilience. This study aims to analyze the influence of environmental performance and political stability on the SDG scores of ASEAN countries for the 2020-2024 period, moderated by economic growth. Researchers used a quantitative method, processed using multiple linear regression with SPSS. The regression process was conducted twice, before and after using moderating variables. The findings suggest that economic growth can alter the influence of environmental performance and political stability on SDG scores. Political stability has a positive impact on the SDGs after economic growth has moderated. While environmental performance has a negative impact after being moderated by economic growth. Economic growth promotes political stability and sustainable growth. Conversely, with high growth, improvements in environmental performance are indicated to shift priorities from sustainability to exploitation.

Abstract

Global concern on climate change has encouraged policymakers and central banks to adopt green financial instruments such as green bonds within sustainable monetary frameworks. Research on the integration of green bonds and monetary policy has grown rapidly in recent years, reflecting wider trends in sustainable finance, climate risk management, and central bank policy innovation. Green bonds play an important role in supporting low-carbon transitions and can influence monetary operations through asset purchases and collateral policies. This study applies a bibliometric analysis of publications on green bonds and monetary policy indexed in Scopus from 2021 to 2025. Using bibliometric methods with VOSviewer and R Studio, the analysis maps dominant themes, co-authorship networks, and the evolution of green monetary studies. The results show strong growth in research output, high levels of international collaboration, and a concentration on sustainable development and green finance. However, fewer studies address climate policy uncertainty and geopolitical risk, even though these factors are highly relevant to financial stability and the effectiveness of monetary policy. Future research in these underexplored areas could provide stronger scientific foundations for building more adaptive and resilient monetary systems in both developed and emerging economies.

Abstract

Digital payment systems have become one of the main innovations in financial transformation. Over the past few years, these systems have gained significant traction and are now at the forefront of reshaping financial landscapes globally. Currently, digital payment systems have changed global transactions by slowly replacing the transaction patterns of societies that were previously dominated by conventional transactions, offering more efficiency, security, and accessibility. This transformation is closely related to the development of fintech, which has given rise to instruments in the form of electronic money and blockchain technology. These advancements have not only changed the way payments are made but also enabled the inclusion of previously underserved populations in the financial ecosystem. This study uses a bibliometric approach to analyze scientific publications, with the main sources coming from Scopus using the keywords “digital payment systems,” “electronic money,” and “fintech.” By utilizing Biblioshiny in the VOSviewer application, this study aims to examine publication trends, contributions from various countries, institutions involved, and thematic connections between topics. In conclusion, this study contributes to expanding the understanding of the development of digital payment systems, while also presenting a global research map that can be used as a reference for academics, researchers, and policymakers involved in financial innovation.

Abstract

The rise of financial technology (fintech) has significantly reshaped global investment over the last decade. Fintech innovations are increasingly applied in areas such as digital investment platforms, robo-advisors, blockchain-based assets, and cryptocurrency trading. The adoption of fintech in investment continues to grow due to the rising demand for accessibility, transparency, and efficiency in financial markets. Fintech has the potential to democratize investment by lowering entry barriers, expanding financial inclusion, and offering diverse investment instruments for retail investors. Therefore, research on fintech and investment has become an essential topic in recent years. This study uses a qualitative approach with data obtained from the Scopus database, which includes a total of 4,794 articles on fintech and investment published in the last decade (2020–2025). In addition, several software tools such as R Studio, VOSViewer, and Publish or Perish were used for data processing and bibliometric visualization. This study aims to analyze the development of research trends in fintech-driven investment, explore how technology is changing investor behavior, and provide insights for policymakers and practitioners in strengthening a sustainable and inclusive investment ecosystem.
