Abstract

Financial distress has become a critical issue in the property industry due to the sector’s high dependence on external financing, long project cycles, and vulnerability to economic fluctuations. This study aims to analyze the influence of financial and non-financial ratios on financial distress and to examine the mediating role of risk management in the relationship between these variables. A quantitative approach was employed using panel data regression analysis on property companies, with profitability, liquidity, leverage, sales growth, and company size as independent variables, risk management as a mediating variable, and financial distress as the dependent variable. The results indicate that profitability and liquidity have a significant direct influence on financial distress, suggesting that companies with stronger profitability and adequate liquidity are less likely to experience financial difficulties. Meanwhile, leverage does not directly affect financial distress but exerts an indirect influence through the mediating role of risk management, indicating that effective risk management practices can mitigate the negative impact of high leverage. The findings highlight that financial ratios combined with risk management provide a more comprehensive assessment of corporate financial health. This study contributes to the literature by emphasizing the strategic role of risk management in strengthening financial resilience and reducing the likelihood of financial distress in the property industry, particularly in environments characterized by financial uncertainty and market volatility.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the factors influencing user behavior toward the Ferizy application by applying an extended Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) integrated with a digital management communication perspective. The research employed a quantitative survey method with 266 active users, and the data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings reveal that brand awareness and price value significantly and positively affect perceived ease of use, perceived enjoyment, and perceived quality. These perception constructs subsequently influence purchase decisions, which, in turn, drive continued use of the application. The results highlight that ease of use, enjoyment, and service quality are critical determinants of user decisions and of fostering long-term engagement with digital service platforms. Theoretically, this study contributes to TAM development by incorporating brand communication and price value as key external variables. In practice, the findings offer strategic insights for organizations to enhance digital communication, ensure transparent pricing, and improve service quality, thereby strengthening user satisfaction and sustained application usage.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of digital literacy and technostress on elementary school teachers’ performance with instructional innovation as a mediating variable within the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) framework. The research employed a quantitative explanatory design using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Data were collected from elementary school teachers in West Kalimantan Province through an online questionnaire. The results indicate that digital literacy has a significant positive effect on instructional innovation and teachers’ performance. Instructional innovation also significantly improves teachers’ performance. Meanwhile, technostress does not have a direct effect on teachers’ performance but does influence it indirectly through instructional innovation. These findings suggest that digital literacy functions as an important job resource that enhances innovative teaching practices. In contrast, technostress can act as a challenge that stimulates adaptive innovation in digital learning environments. The model demonstrates strong explanatory power with an R² value of 0.706 for teachers’ performance. The study contributes to the development of JD-R theory in digital education by identifying instructional innovation as an adaptive mechanism that transforms job demands and job resources into improved teacher performance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of strategic public relations management in enhancing institutional positioning and competitive advantage in higher education. Employing a qualitative approach with a multi-case study design, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation involving institutional leaders, public relations practitioners, academics, students, and alumni. The findings indicate that strategic public relations serves as a foundational mechanism for institutional positioning through public needs analysis, identity strengthening, and integrated communication strategies. Furthermore, integrated communication encompassing media relations, digital branding, academic publications, and stakeholder engagement plays a critical role in shaping institutional image and reputation through message consistency. Strategic public relations also contributes significantly to competitive advantage by fostering public trust, increasing institutional visibility, and strengthening differentiation. The study implies that strategic public relations functions as a dynamic capability that links internal institutional quality with external public perception, transforming communication into strategic value. These findings offer theoretical contributions by integrating public relations, positioning, reputation, and competitive advantage into a unified framework, while practically providing guidance for higher education institutions in designing effective strategic communication to enhance competitiveness in a dynamic environment.

Abstract

Employee productivity is a critical factor in organizational performance, particularly in the manufacturing sector, where intense competition and operational efficiency demands are driving performance. This study aims to examine the effects of training, work discipline, and job promotion on employee productivity. A quantitative explanatory approach with a survey method was employed. Data were collected from 100 employees selected through simple random sampling using a structured questionnaire measured on a five-point Likert scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted to assess the impact of each independent variable on productivity. The results indicate that training positively and significantly affects productivity (t = 3.436; p < 0.05), as does work discipline (t = 2.498; p < 0.05), while job promotion shows no significant effect (t = -1.005; p > 0.05). Collectively, all three variables have a significant influence on employee productivity. These findings suggest that enhancing productivity in manufacturing organizations is more effectively achieved through strengthening training programs and enforcing work discipline rather than relying solely on promotion policies.

Abstract

This study explores strategies to enhance teacher performance using a local-expertise variable approach, with a focus on the local tradition of gotong royong (cooperation). Previous research has overlooked the impact of local customs on teacher performance. The research applies Human Resource Strengthening Modeling and Optimization (POP-SDM) and a multi-stage random sampling technique, involving 124 teachers from 9 private vocational schools in Bekasi Regency. Data analysis employs SEM-PLS 3 for path analysis, testing 7 direct and 3 indirect influences. The study integrates local expertise to improve teacher productivity by accounting for local customs. SITOREM analysis identifies the following prioritized areas for improvement: Salary/Income, Working Conditions, Promotion Opportunities, and Supervision, among others. The results show that 4 direct-effect hypotheses were accepted and 3 rejected, while 2 indirect effects were accepted and 1 rejected. The findings suggest that enhancing teacher performance requires focusing on job satisfaction, knowledge management, communication, and cooperation. By addressing the order of indicators identified through SITOREM, optimal solutions for improving teacher performance can be developed. This research emphasizes the importance of integrating local traditions into modern educational practices.

Abstract

This study examines the liquidity–risk–profitability nexus in Indonesian commercial banks over the 2015–2024 period, with particular emphasis on how liquidity, credit risk, and capital adequacy shape bank profitability. It incorporates varying macroeconomic conditions, including the pre-pandemic period, the COVID-19 crisis, and the phase of monetary policy normalization, to capture dynamic financial responses. The research highlights the importance of strategic bank decisions in balancing risk management and intermediation functions. A quantitative panel data approach with sequential panel modeling is employed. In the first stage, the effects of policy interest rates and inflation on liquidity, proxied by the Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), are analyzed. The second stage evaluates the influence of LDR and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) on credit risk, measured by Non-Performing Loans (NPL), using fixed effect estimation. The third stage assesses the impact of LDR, CAR, and NPL on profitability, proxied by Return on Assets (ROA), using random effect estimation. Dummy variables and interaction terms are included to compare state-owned and private banks, with robust standard errors ensuring reliability. The findings reveal a clear risk–return trade-off, where liquidity and capital management play crucial roles in maintaining profitability and financial stability.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the strategy and impact of revitalizing the Kyais ’ role in achieving sustainable economic Independence in pesantren. In the context of emerging economies, pesantrens possess significant social capital but remain vulnerable due to their financial dependence on external funding. This condition underscores the need to transform traditional spiritual leadership into a more professional, entrepreneurial model to support institutional sustainability. This research employs a qualitative approach with an instrumental case study design at the Islamic Boarding School, using purposive sampling. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and analyzed using an interactive model with triangulation to ensure validity. The findings reveal that the Kyai acts as the central architect of economic governance, integrating moral authority with strategic decision-making. Leadership revitalization is implemented through professional delegation, resource mapping, and vocational integration. This process produces a hybrid governance model combining centralized control and decentralized management.Furthermore, pesantren successfully transitioned into a production-based economic system. This transformation strengthens financial autonomy, student entrepreneurship, and community empowerment. The study contributes theoretically by proposing a charismatic–entrepreneurial leadership model and practically by offering a strategic framework for institutional Independence.
