Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of digital payment adoption, financial literacy, and education level on financial management in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Makassar City. With the rapid advancement of the digital era, the use of digital payment systems has become essential for MSMEs to enhance transaction efficiency and security. However, challenges such as low financial literacy and limited understanding of technology among MSME owners still pose significant obstacles to achieving optimal financial management. This study adopts a quantitative approach, utilizing multiple linear regression analysis to explore the relationships between these variables. The research data was collected through surveys administered to MSME owners in Makassar City. The results of the study show that digital payment adoption, financial literacy, and education level all positively influence financial management practices in MSMEs. Specifically, MSMEs that adopt digital payment systems tend to have better financial management practices, which improve their operational efficiency. Additionally, higher financial literacy and education levels enable MSME owners to make more informed financial decisions, further contributing to the overall improvement in financial management. These findings suggest that fostering digital payment adoption, improving financial literacy, and enhancing education levels can significantly support MSMEs in Makassar City in improving their financial management and overall business sustainability.

Abstract

This study aims to determine the effect of working conditions and leadership style on the performance of Babinsa (Village Supervisory Non-Commissioned Officers) of Koramil 07 Makassar City. The research employs a quantitative descriptive approach, analyzing the responses obtained from a questionnaire completed by 60 Babinsa of Koramil 07 Makassar City. The data analysis techniques utilized include descriptive data analysis, multiple linear regression analysis, classical assumption tests, and hypothesis testing. The results of the study demonstrate that the working conditions variable has a significant positive effect on Babinsa performance, indicating that better working conditions lead to improved performance. On the other hand, leadership style does not have a significant effect on Babinsa performance, suggesting that leadership style alone may not be a primary driver of performance in this context. However, when considered together, working conditions and leadership style jointly influence the performance of Babinsa in Koramil 07 Makassar City. These findings suggest that while leadership style may not be a direct factor in performance, optimizing working conditions can have a more significant impact. Therefore, efforts to improve working conditions should be prioritized to enhance Babinsa performance, and further research could explore additional factors contributing to their performance.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of sustainability on the financial performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Makassar City, with business networking as a moderating variable. The independent variables are sustainability practices and business networking, while the dependent variable is financial performance. Challenges in this research include limited data on sustainability and networking, difficulties in measurement, varying levels of implementation, and the lack of proper reporting systems among MSMEs. Using a quantitative approach and survey method, data was collected from 50 MSMEs. Multiple regression analysis evaluated the direct impact of sustainability on financial performance, while moderation analysis assessed the role of business networking. The findings, processed using SPSS, reveal that both sustainability practices and networking positively affect MSMEs’ financial performance. The acceptance of the first hypothesis (H1) indicates that higher sustainability practices enhance financial performance. The second hypothesis (H2) confirms that strong networking further improves financial outcomes. Moreover, the third hypothesis (H3) highlights that networking moderates the relationship between sustainability and financial performance, demonstrating that a robust network amplifies the benefits of sustainable practices. This study underscores the importance of sustainability and networking in driving MSME financial success.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of liquidity on capital structure and firm value among transportation companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the Covid-19 pandemic. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 25 transportation companies over the period from 2020 to 2022. The findings reveal a positive and significant effect of liquidity on firm value. However, liquidity does not act as a mediator between liquidity and capital structure, indicating a more complex relationship. The Covid-19 pandemic caused a significant decline in the performance of transportation companies, adversely affecting their liquidity levels and investment decisions, which, in turn, impacted firm value. Companies with higher liquidity were better positioned to meet short-term obligations, thereby enhancing creditor confidence. This trust is crucial for companies seeking external financing, as creditors are more likely to support firms with strong liquidity management. However, high liquidity does not always result in positive outcomes. Poor liquidity management can strain financial resources, potentially increasing the cost of capital and hindering long-term growth. This study highlights the importance of efficient liquidity management for financial managers, providing valuable insights into the balancing act between maintaining adequate liquidity for operational needs and optimizing capital structure for growth. For investors, these findings offer guidance in evaluating company health, particularly during economic downturns like the pandemic. Understanding liquidity’s role in shaping firm value can assist in making informed investment decisions. Ultimately, this study contributes to the body of knowledge on financial management in the transportation sector, offering strategies for enhancing resilience and competitiveness in the post-pandemic business environment.

Abstract

The Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) is a key concept in financial management, indicating the maximum growth rate a company can achieve without relying on additional external financing. This study aims to analyze the factors influencing SGR, focusing on leverage, asset turnover, profitability, and liquidity. Data were obtained from the financial and annual reports of 10 companies for the period 2021–2023, sourced from the Indonesia Stock Exchange’s official website (idx.co.id) and the respective websites of each company.The data analysis was conducted using Eviews 13, applying panel data regression in a quantitative approach. The results revealed that leverage, as measured by the debt-to-asset ratio (DAR), and profitability, as measured by return on assets (ROA), significantly impacted the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR), with a significance level of P < 0.05. However, asset turnover, proxied by the total asset turnover ratio (TATO), and liquidity, proxied by the current ratio (CR), did not show a significant effect on SGR, with P > 0.05.These findings suggest that higher leverage and profitability levels contribute positively to a company’s sustainable growth potential, while asset turnover and liquidity do not significantly influence the SGR. Consequently, companies aiming to achieve optimal growth may focus on maintaining favorable leverage and profitability levels without placing undue emphasis on asset turnover or liquidity ratios. This research offers insights into how companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange can manage internal financial factors to support sustainable growth.
