Abstract

In the globalization era, companies must excel to compete effectively, and human resources play a critical role in organizational success. Human Resource Management (HRM) organizes individuals to drive positive change. This study examines the influence of work discipline and occupational safety and health (OSH) on employee productivity at PT Citacontrac Jakarta. It focuses on three variables: Work Discipline, OSH, and Work Productivity. Using Non-Probability Sampling and Saturated Sampling methods, all 60 employees of PT Citacontrac were included, making it a population study. The analysis employed t-tests to test three hypotheses. The results indicate that Work Discipline significantly and positively impacts Work Productivity (t-value = 2.908 > t-table = 1.295, p < 0.05), leading to the acceptance of H1. Similarly, OSH positively influences Work Productivity (p < 0.05), confirming H2. Finally, the combined effect of Work Discipline and OSH on Work Productivity was significant (t-value = 11.040 > t-table = 1.295, p < 0.05), supporting H3. These findings highlight the importance of enforcing work discipline and ensuring OSH to enhance productivity, emphasizing their collective and individual contributions to organizational success.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of integrating artificial intelligence (AI) and financial technology (FinTech) in digital marketing to enhance customer experience. Through a literature-based approach, the study explores how AI and FinTech contribute to improving personalization, transaction ease, and security in digital marketing campaigns. The findings reveal that AI enables companies to analyze customer behavior in depth, providing more relevant recommendations and boosting customer engagement. Meanwhile, FinTech simplifies transaction processes and enhances security, which plays a crucial role in fostering customer satisfaction and loyalty. Together, AI and FinTech create a more personalized, secure, and efficient customer journey. However, the study notes some limitations, such as the restricted data coverage within the e-commerce and financial services sectors, which may not fully capture the potential of these technologies in other fields. Additionally, there is a potential for bias in the analysis due to the reliance on existing literature without experimental validation. Recommendations for future research include developing more adaptive AI technologies that can respond to dynamic customer preferences and expanding the scope of study to include sectors like healthcare and education. Overall, the integration of AI and FinTech in digital marketing holds significant promise for enhancing customer satisfaction and improving the effectiveness of marketing campaigns across various sectors.

Abstract

This study explores the impact of organizational culture on entrepreneurial orientation (EO) through a comprehensive literature review. EO is a critical dimension of organizational strategy, encompassing innovation, risk-taking, and proactiveness, which are essential for maintaining competitiveness and driving business success. The findings indicate that organizational cultures fostering innovation, calculated risk-taking, and entrepreneurial values significantly enhance EO development. These cultural attributes provide an environment that encourages creativity, supports experimentation, and promotes proactive strategies for identifying and capitalizing on new opportunities. The study identifies recurring themes in the literature, such as the positive correlation between supportive cultural values and improved organizational performance. Companies that cultivate an entrepreneurial culture are better positioned to respond to market changes, innovate, and sustain long-term growth. Moreover, the research points to gaps in existing studies, including the need for deeper exploration of how different cultural dimensions interact with EO across various industries and organizational sizes. Practical implications for managers include the importance of embedding entrepreneurial values into organizational culture through leadership practices, employee training, and resource allocation. By doing so, managers can create an environment conducive to innovation and adaptability. Future research should further investigate cross-cultural variations and longitudinal effects of entrepreneurial culture on organizational success.
