Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of tourist perception on loyalty mediated by tourist satisfaction in tourist destinations, focusing on Crab Mangrove Park, Malaysia. Tourists' perception of the quality of services, facilities, and natural attractions of destinations is considered an important factor in shaping the level of satisfaction which then affects tourist loyalty. In this study, we used a quantitative method with a survey approach to tourists who visited Crab Mangrove Park. The results of the study show that tourists' perception of tourist destinations has a positive and significant influence on their satisfaction. Traveler satisfaction, in turn, has been shown to mediate the relationship between perception and loyalty. Tourists who have a positive perception of the quality of service, natural beauty, and experience provided by the destination tend to feel satisfied and more loyal to the destination. This study advises tourist destination managers to improve the quality of services and experiences in accordance with travelers' preferences to create sustainable loyalty. Additionally, it's important for destination managers to pay attention to travelers' perceptions, as this contributes greatly to their satisfaction and loyalty levels in the future.

Abstract

This study examines the role of university-led Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programs in enhancing community-based renewable energy literacy through a comparative analysis of Universitas Pembangunan Panca Budi (UNPAB), Indonesia, and Polytechnic Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin (PTSS), Malaysia. As the global transition toward sustainable energy accelerates, universities are increasingly expected to contribute to environmental education and community empowerment. Using a qualitative comparative case study approach, data were collected through interviews, documentation, and field observations of CSR activities conducted by both institutions. The findings reveal that CSR programs integrating renewable energy education significantly improve community knowledge, awareness, and practical skills related to solar energy, waste-to-energy systems, and energy conservation practices. The study also highlights differences in program design, stakeholder engagement, and implementation strategies between UNPAB and PTSS, shaped by institutional capacity and national energy policies. Furthermore, the research underscores the importance of cross-border academic collaboration in strengthening sustainable development initiatives. This study contributes to the discourse on CSR in higher education by offering a model for integrating renewable energy literacy into community-focused programs and providing strategic recommendations to enhance future CSR-based sustainability efforts.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the strategic management of sharia hedging in addressing risks in the digital era. With the rapid development of technology and digitalization, the Islamic financial sector is faced with new challenges, including market volatility, operational risk, and cyber threats. The methodology used in this study is qualitative analysis and case studies involving several Islamic financial institutions. The results show that the implementation of sharia-compliant sharia hedging strategies not only helps mitigate risks but also enhances institutional competitiveness in an ever-changing environment. The adopted strategies include the use of sharia-compliant instruments such as sukuk and derivative contracts, as well as digital innovation in risk management systems. This study recommends the importance of collaboration between regulators and practitioners to develop a more effective and sharia-compliant hedging framework, as well as the need for education for stakeholders in understanding and implementing hedging strategies in the digital era. These results are expected to make a significant contribution to the development of risk management practices in the Islamic financial industry.

Abstract

This research aims to explore the role of digital finance in supporting sustainable supply chains in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Sei Semayang Village. The approach used is descriptive qualitative with data collection through in-depth interviews, field observations, and documentation of MSME transactions. The research informants consist of MSME actors, suppliers, as well as financial and fintech institutions related to MSME operational activities. The results of the study show that digital finance, such as e-wallets, mobile banking, QRIS, and fintech platforms, is able to improve the efficiency of financial management, accelerate cash flow, and smooth the supply chain of MSMEs. The integration of the digital financial system with raw material procurement, production, and distribution allows the flow of capital and goods to run more stable and transparent. However, the adoption of digital finance is still limited due to low digital and financial literacy, limited infrastructure, and dependence on traditional suppliers. This research formulates a model for strengthening digital finance which includes digital literacy training, integration of financial systems with supply chains, collaboration with fintechs and suppliers, monitoring and evaluation of transactions, and support of technological infrastructure. This model is expected to increase the efficiency, transparency, and sustainability of the MSME supply chain in Sei Semayang Village. The research findings provide practical contributions for MSME actors, financial institutions, fintech, and local governments in supporting the development of digital finance-based MSMEs.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the follow-up actions on the Request for Explanation of Data and/or Information (SP2DK) and its role in improving tax compliance in construction companies in Medan. The research background stems from findings by the Directorate General of Taxes (DJP) regarding discrepancies in the tax reporting data of companies, specifically for the 2022 Tax Year, where a company reported a business turnover of IDR 654,346,589 but did not make the final income tax payment (PPh Final), and the VAT return (SPT Masa PPN) was filed with free text entries. This situation led to the issuance of SP2DK as a clarification and preliminary guidance tool by the tax authorities. This research uses a qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and tax document reviews. Data analysis was conducted using the Miles and Huberman model, including data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The study’s findings indicate that the company’s response to the SP2DK was through written explanations, face-to-face clarification with the Account Representative, corrections to SPT filings, and settlement of PPh Final payments. Factors influencing the follow-up actions include limited tax knowledge, perceptions of the risk of tax audits and penalties, the role of guidance from DJP, and the company's internal administrative readiness. The company also faced obstacles such as weak documentation, limited human resources with tax knowledge, and unintegrated financial record systems. This study concludes that SP2DK follow-up actions have positively impacted both formal and material tax compliance, as reflected in timely SPT submissions, alignment between taxes owed and actual transactions, and a shift towards more sustainable compliance behavior. Moreover, the study highlights that DJP’s role through persuasive communication and technical assistance is crucial in ensuring the success of SP2DK as a tax compliance improvement tool. This research is expected to be a reference for taxpayers, tax authorities, and future researchers in understanding the effectiveness of SP2DK as an instrument for improving tax compliance.

Abstract

Effective ecological-economic planning requires systematic integration of diverse stakeholder perspectives to achieve sustainable development outcomes. This study examines how multi-stakeholder engagement frameworks can address the complex interplay between environmental conservation and economic advancement in ecologically sensitive coastal regions. Using Ketam Island, Malaysia as a case study, this research employs mixed-methods approach combining stakeholder analysis, participatory planning workshops, and environmental-economic impact assessments conducted from January to August 2025. The study engaged 425 stakeholders across six primary categories: local communities (n=180), government agencies (n=65), private sector entities (n=85), NGOs (n=45), academic institutions (n=30), and tourism operators (n=20). Results demonstrate that structured stakeholder integration mechanisms yield significant improvements in planning outcomes, with stakeholder satisfaction increasing from 42% to 78%, environmental indicators showing 23% improvement in marine biodiversity indices, and economic benefits demonstrating 47% increase in sustainable livelihood opportunities. The collaborative framework successfully bridged previously disconnected stakeholder groups, resulting in joint problem identification, shared solution development, and coordinated implementation strategies. This research contributes to understanding how participatory governance mechanisms can operationalize sustainability principles in practice.

Abstract

Digital transformation in coastal fisheries represents a critical pathway toward sustainable economic development and enhanced market competitiveness. This study examines the integration of e-business technologies in traditional fishing communities through comprehensive economic assessment of value-added product strategies in Pulau Ketam, Malaysia. Employing a mixed-methods approach conducted from March to October 2025, this research engaged 385 stakeholders including fishing households (n=165), seafood processing enterprises (n=95), tourism operators (n=55), digital platform users (n=40), and government agencies (n=30). Data collection integrated stakeholder surveys, financial performance analysis, market transaction monitoring, digital adoption assessments, and value chain evaluations. Results demonstrate that e-business adoption generates substantial economic improvements: participating enterprises experienced 63% revenue increase, operating margins improved from 18% to 34%, market reach expanded by 127% beyond traditional boundaries, and value-added product development increased 89%. Digital platforms facilitated direct producer-consumer connections, reducing intermediary dependence by 41% while enabling price premiums of 28-45% for quality-certified seafood products. However, implementation revealed persistent challenges including digital literacy gaps (47% of potential adopters), infrastructure limitations affecting 38% of island businesses, initial capital barriers averaging RM 15,000 per enterprise, and regulatory uncertainties regarding online food safety compliance. This research contributes empirical evidence on digital economy integration in resource-dependent coastal communities while identifying critical success factors for sustainable e-business transformation in developing region fisheries contexts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the determinants of student readiness to enter the renewable energy sector, emphasizing the influence of personal factors, institutional support, and motivation, as well as evaluating differences in readiness between students at Politeknik Tuanku Syed Sirajuddin (PTSS), Malaysia, and Universitas Pembangunan Panca Budi (UNPAB), Indonesia. The research problem focuses on the extent to which these three factors influence student readiness and the role of institutional differences in shaping work readiness. This study uses a descriptive and explanatory quantitative approach, with 60 final-year students as samples, selected through purposive sampling (30 students from each institution). Data were collected using a Likert scale questionnaire and analyzed through multiple linear regression, t- test, F-test, and coefficient of determination. The results show that personal factors (β = 0.207, t = 2.009, p = 0.041), institutional support (β = 0.254, t = 2.052, p = 0.045), and motivation (β = 0.291, t = 2.073, p = 0.043) significantly affect student readiness, with R² = 0.250. The difference test revealed that motivation (p = 0.025) and student readiness (p = 0.044) were higher at PTSS than at UNPAB, while personal factors did not show significant differences (p = 0.729). These findings emphasize the importance of strengthening motivation and institutional support in improving student readiness to enter the workforce in the renewable energy sector.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of internal control in improving organizational performance at the Pawnshop. The research focuses on evaluating the effectiveness of internal control components, including the control environment, risk assessment, control activities, information and communication, and monitoring. Using qualitative descriptive methods supported by interviews, document analysis, and observations, the study reveals that the internal control system implemented by the Pawnshop has been generally effective in supporting operational efficiency and reducing the risk of errors and fraud. Strong control procedures, clear division of duties, and regular monitoring contribute significantly to improving employee performance and service quality. However, several areas still require improvement, particularly related to technology-based supervision and continuous staff training. Overall, the findings indicate that a well-structured internal control system has a positive impact on enhancing performance at the Pawnshop.
