Abstract

This study aims to integrate Bugis cultural values Sipakatu, Sipakalebbi’, and Sipakainge’ into the professional code of ethics for accountants. Accountants’ ethical behavior plays a crucial role in determining the quality and reliability of financial reporting. Therefore, internalizing local ethical values may strengthen accountants’ commitment to professional standards and ethical conduct. This study employs a literature review method by analyzing 20 relevant scholarly articles retrieved from Google Scholar that align with the research objectives. The findings indicate that the principles of mutual humanization (Sipakatu), mutual respect (Sipakalebbi’), and mutual moral reminder (Sipakainge’) are highly relevant to the ethical dimensions of the accounting profession. These values contribute to fostering a harmonious and productive professional environment, enhancing motivation and performance through recognition of achievements, and ensuring accountability and compliance with ethical standards through continuous moral guidance. Accordingly, the integration of Bugis cultural values into the professional code of ethics for accountants requires systematic internalization within individual accountants to support ethical decision-making and professional integrity.

Abstract

Police institutions play a critical role in maintaining public security, social order, and law enforcement effectiveness. The performance of police officers is therefore a key indicator of institutional success in managing criminal cases and ensuring public safety. This study aims to examine the effects of work environment and compensation on police performance, with work motivation serving as a mediating variable. A quantitative research design grounded in the positivist paradigm was employed. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire distributed to 94 police officers of a regional police department in South Sulawesi, Indonesia. The data were analyzed using path analysis to assess both direct and indirect relationships among variables. The findings reveal that the work environment has a significant positive effect on work motivation, while compensation also significantly influences motivation. Furthermore, both work environment and compensation have significant direct effects on police performance. Work motivation is found to significantly enhance performance and to mediate the relationships between work environment, compensation, and police performance. These results highlight the importance of creating a supportive work environment and implementing fair compensation systems to strengthen motivation and improve performance in law enforcement organizations. The study contributes to the literature on public sector performance by emphasizing the strategic role of motivational mechanisms in enhancing police effectiveness.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the implementation of management audits as a control mechanism for evaluating the effectiveness of human resource (HR) functions within an organizational context. Using a qualitative research design with a descriptive approach, this study focuses on a case analysis conducted at a manufacturing company in Indonesia. The informants consisted of members of the top management team who were directly involved in strategic decision-making and human resource management. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and document analysis, utilizing primary data obtained from key informants to ensure data credibility and contextual accuracy. The findings reveal that, out of ten HR functions assessed, eight functions were implemented effectively, including recruitment, employee training and development, career planning and development, performance appraisal, compensation and rewards, industrial relations, occupational health and safety, and employee creativity development. However, two critical HR functions—human resource planning and employee selection and placement—were found to be inadequately implemented and lacked systematic procedures aligned with organizational needs. These deficiencies indicate potential risks to long-term workforce sustainability and organizational performance. This study highlights the strategic role of management audits in identifying strengths and weaknesses within HR functions and in supporting continuous organizational improvement. The findings contribute to the literature on management auditing and human resource governance by providing empirical evidence on how audit practices can enhance HR function effectiveness. Practically, the study offers managerial insights for organizations to strengthen HR governance and align HR strategies with business objectives to improve overall organizational effectiveness.

Abstract

This study analyzes the role of fiscal policy and financial sustainability in enhancing economic stability, with a particular focus on developing economies facing fiscal constraints and macroeconomic uncertainty. The study aims to identify key dimensions of fiscal sustainability and examine how proactive fiscal policies, institutional reforms, and evidence-based strategies contribute to economic resilience. A qualitative systematic literature review (SLR) approach was employed by synthesizing empirical and theoretical studies published since 2018. Relevant peer-reviewed journal articles, policy reports, and institutional publications were analyzed to develop a multidimensional framework explaining the interaction between fiscal policy instruments and financial sustainability. The findings indicate that fiscal discipline, efficient and equitable taxation, and prudent public debt management are fundamental to maintaining financial sustainability. Proactive fiscal mechanisms, including automatic stabilizers and countercyclical spending, play a critical role in mitigating economic shocks and stabilizing macroeconomic performance during periods of crisis. However, developing economies continue to face significant challenges, such as limited fiscal space, weak institutional capacity, governance inefficiencies, and heavy reliance on external debt, which reduce the effectiveness of fiscal interventions. This study highlights the importance of institutional reforms to enhance fiscal transparency, strengthen public financial management, and improve accountability in order to build public trust and investor confidence. The research contributes to fiscal policy literature by offering an integrated framework linking fiscal sustainability and economic stability, while providing policy-relevant insights to support sustainable economic growth and long-term financial resilience.

Abstract

Purpose: of this research is to analyze both the direct effect of AI-driven HR analytics on employee performance and its indirect effect through decision-making quality as a mediating mechanism Research Design and Methodology: Using a quantitative explanatory research design, data were collected through a structured questionnaire from retail employees and supervisors in organizations that utilize AI-supported HR systems. A purposive sampling technique was employed, and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings and Discussion: AI-driven HR analytics has a significant positive effect on employee performance and decision-making quality. Furthermore, decision-making quality significantly influences employee performance and partially mediates the relationship between AI-driven HR analytics and employee performance. These results suggest that the performance benefits of AI-driven HR analytics are realized primarily when analytics insights are effectively integrated into managerial decision-making processes. The study contributes to the growing literature on people analytics by highlighting the importance of decision quality as a key explanatory mechanism, particularly in retail contexts. Practically, the findings provide insights for retail managers and policymakers to strengthen analytical capability, managerial literacy, and governance frameworks to maximize the value of AI-driven HR analytics. Implications: Future research is recommended to explore longitudinal effects and additional contextual moderators.

Abstract

This study investigates how consumer trust is formed in social commerce environments through two primary drivers: influencer credibility and algorithmic transparency. As social commerce increasingly shapes online purchasing behavior, understanding the psychological mechanisms behind trust becomes essential for digital marketers, platforms, and businesses. Using a quantitative approach with 412 respondents from active social commerce users, the findings reveal that influencer credibility—comprising expertise, authenticity, and social attractiveness—significantly enhances consumer trust and purchase intention. Furthermore, algorithmic transparency, including clarity of recommendation logic and perceived fairness of content distribution, moderates the relationship between influencer credibility and trust formation. The results underscore the importance of transparent platform practices and credible influencer partnerships in improving consumer confidence and reducing perceived risk. This research contributes to the growing literature on digital trust-building while offering practical insights for social commerce platforms to design more ethical, transparent, and user-centered recommendation ecosystems.

Abstract

This study examines how green innovation and circular economy (CE) practices influence sustainable supply chain resilience (SCR) in emerging-market firms. Drawing on dynamic capabilities and resource-based perspectives, we propose and test a model where green innovation (product, process, and organizational) directly enhances SCR and indirectly does so by promoting circular practices (reverse logistics, reuse/remanufacturing, and eco-design). Using survey data from 438 managers across manufacturing and fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) firms in three emerging economies, structural equation modeling shows that: (1) green innovation has a significant positive effect on SCR; (2) circular economy practices mediate the relationship between green innovation and SCR; and (3) digitalization (supply-chain analytics / Industry 4.0 tools) strengthens the effect of circular practices on resilience. The findings imply that firms in emerging markets can build both sustainability and robustness by combining green R&D, circular operational routines, and targeted digital investments. Practical recommendations include phased CE adoption (start with reverse logistics and eco-design), capability building for green innovation, and policy incentives to de-risk circular investments. This research contributes an integrated empirical view linking innovation, CE practices, and resilience in contexts where resource constraints and institutional barriers matter.

Abstract

This study explores how psychological well-being and digital collaboration tools interact to influence employee productivity within remote work environments. As remote and hybrid work models become increasingly normalized, organizations must understand the human–technology dynamics that drive sustainable performance. Using a quantitative approach with data from 462 remote employees across technology, education, and service sectors, this research applies structural equation modeling to examine direct and mediated relationships among work stress, digital overload, collaboration-tool usability, communication quality, and productivity outcomes. Findings reveal that psychological well-being significantly predicts productivity, with work engagement acting as a partial mediator. Digital collaboration tools also demonstrate a strong positive effect on productivity, particularly when usability, responsiveness, and synchronization are high. Furthermore, effective digital collaboration moderates the negative effects of stress and communication breakdowns. The study highlights the need for organizations to strategically manage digital ecosystems while supporting employee mental health to maximize performance in remote contexts.

Abstract

This study examines how strategic recruitment policy innovation enhances talent attraction and retention in modern organizations facing rapid digital, demographic, and competitive shifts. As firms confront increasing skill shortages and dynamic workforce expectations, innovative recruitment policies—such as data-driven hiring, employer branding optimization, candidate experience enhancement, and competency-based selection—are viewed as critical drivers of organizational talent outcomes. Using a mixed-method approach involving survey responses from 328 HR professionals and interviews with 22 recruitment managers across technology, financial services, and public-sector organizations, the findings reveal that recruitment innovation significantly improves talent attraction, with employer branding and digital recruitment platforms acting as the strongest predictors. Retention is positively influenced by personalized onboarding systems, transparent career pathways, and alignment between organizational values and candidate expectations. Additionally, digital recruitment analytics moderates the relationship between policy innovation and overall recruitment effectiveness. The study offers practical insights for HR leaders to redesign recruitment frameworks that integrate technology, human-centered design, and strategic workforce planning to strengthen long-term talent sustainability.
