Abstract

Teacher performance is a key determinant of educational quality and learning effectiveness across various global educational contexts. Although numerous studies have examined the factors influencing teacher performance, empirical synthesis focused on the integration of transformational leadership, professional competence, and self-efficacy in recent years remains limited. This study aims to synthesize and analyze the latest empirical findings on strategies for improving teacher performance through these three variables. This study employed the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method with the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach. Articles were obtained from Scopus, Web of Science, and ERIC databases, published between 2020 and 2025. Based on the identification, screening, and eligibility evaluation processes according to inclusion and exclusion criteria, 30 empirical articles were selected and analyzed in depth. The synthesis results indicate that transformational leadership consistently has a positive effect on teacher performance, both directly and through increased motivation and professional commitment. Professional competence has been shown to be a significant predictor of learning quality, instructional effectiveness, and student learning outcomes. Meanwhile, self-efficacy emerged as a key psychological factor that strengthens teachers' resilience, pedagogical innovation, and adaptability to changes in the educational environment. The integration of findings yielded a multidimensional conceptual model that positions transformational leadership as a structural factor, professional competence as a capability factor, and self-efficacy as a psychological factor that interact to improve teacher performance. This study provides theoretical contributions through the consolidation of current empirical evidence and practical implications for the development of evidence-based school leadership policies and teacher capacity-building programs.

Abstract

This study aims to improve gross motor skills through low-impact outbound play activities at the Bogor Nature School Kindergarten, North Bogor. The subjects were 15 children in the playgroup at the Bogor Nature School Kindergarten, consisting of 7 boys and 8 girls. This research is a classroom action research using the Kemmis and McTaggart research design. This research was conducted in two cycles with the theme of Self-Identity. The research period was in the first semester. The data collected were descriptive qualitative and quantitative data. Descriptive qualitative data is a report of research results presented in the form of descriptions or learning processes. Meanwhile, quantitative data is learning outcomes presented in the form of tables or diagrams. The data obtained was then compared with success criteria to determine gross motor skills through low-impact outbound games. Based on the research results, it can be seen that 20% of children were able to carry out low-impact outbound game activities independently, namely from 66.6% in cycle 1 to 86.6% in cycle 2.

Abstract

This study examines the role of educational management in strengthening administrative effectiveness in early childhood education (ECE) institutions. While previous studies have often treated educational management as a linear predictor of institutional outcomes, this study adopts a governance perspective to better understand how management practices operate within context-specific conditions. Focusing on ECE institutions in Indragiri Hilir Regency, Indonesia, this research also considers the role of community-based actors, particularly Bunda PAUD, as part of localized educational governance. A quantitative approach was employed using a simple linear regression model. Data were collected from 40 respondents, including school principals and teachers selected through purposive sampling. The research instrument was a Likert-scale questionnaire measuring early childhood education management and administrative effectiveness. Data were analyzed using validity and reliability tests, regression analysis, t-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The findings indicate that early childhood education management has a positive and statistically significant effect on administrative effectiveness (β = 0.672; p < 0.05), with a coefficient of determination of 0.64. This suggests that management practices account for 64% of the variance in administrative effectiveness. However, both variables were found to be at a moderate level, indicating that management practices and administrative systems are not yet fully optimized. The results also highlight that administrative effectiveness is influenced not only by management but also by contextual factors such as infrastructure, institutional capacity, and stakeholder involvement. This study contributes to the literature by rethinking educational management as a dynamic and context-sensitive process while integrating a governance perspective that emphasizes the role of localized community actors. The findings provide practical implications for strengthening managerial capacity, enhancing stakeholder collaboration, and improving administrative systems in early childhood education.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of capital structure proxied with Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and Debt to Asset Ratio (DAR) on profitability proxied by Return on Asset (ROA) in manufacturing companies in the consumer goods sub-sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the COVID-19 pandemic period 2020-2021. The research method used is quantitative causality with secondary data in the form of annual financial statements. The research population is all manufacturing companies in the consumer goods sub-sector on the IDX. The sample was determined using purposive sampling techniques with the criteria of registered companies during 2020-2021, issuing complete financial statements, and not delisting, so that 45 companies were obtained with a total of 90 observations. Data analysis techniques include descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation), multiple linear regression analysis (OLS), t-test, F test, and determination coefficient (R²). The results showed that partially, DER had a significant negative effect on ROA with a t-count value of -2.845 (sig. 0.006) and DAR had a significant negative effect on ROA with a t-count value of -2.103 (sig. 0.039). Simultaneously, DER and DAR together had a significant effect on ROA with an F-count value of 5.876 (sig. 0.004). A coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.174 indicates that 17.4% of ROA variations can be explained by DER and DAR, while the remaining 82.6% are explained by other variables outside the model. These findings confirm that during the COVID-19 pandemic, increased debt will decrease the company's profitability, so management needs to be careful in making funding decisions in times of crisis.

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to examine the effect of cash flow management, proxied by cash inflow and cash outflow, on liquidity, as measured by the current ratio and quick ratio, in Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in the food and beverage sector in the Greater Jakarta area. This study also analyzes the partial and simultaneous effects of both independent variables on the dependent variable. Method – This study uses a quantitative causality design with a survey approach. The study population is MSMEs in the food and beverage sector in Greater Jakarta that have been operating for at least two years. A sample of 100 respondents was selected using a purposive sampling technique based on the criteria of having simple financial records and being willing to be respondents. Primary data was collected through a structured questionnaire that included measurements of cash inflow , cash outflow , current ratio , and quick ratio . Data analysis was carried out using descriptive statistics, classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity), and multiple linear regression analysis followed by hypothesis testing (t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination). Results – This study found that partially, cash inflow has a positive and significant effect on the current ratio (B=0.0092; p<0.01) and the quick ratio (B=0.0105; p<0.01). Conversely, cash outflow has a negative and significant effect on the current ratio (B=-0.0074; p<0.01) and the quick ratio (B=-0.0089; p<0.01). Simultaneously, cash inflow and cash outflow together have a significant effect on liquidity with an Adjusted R² value of 0.608 for the current ratio and 0.686 for the quick ratio . These findings indicate that the quick ratio is more responsive to changes in cash flow management than the current ratio in MSMEs in the food and beverage sector in Greater Jakarta

Abstract

Objective – This study aims to analyze the influence of the use of fintech technology, namely equity crowdfunding (ECF) and peer-to-peer lending (P2P), on investment funding decisions and their implications for market risk ( Value at Risk / VaR) in digital startups in Indonesia. Methods – The study employed a mixed methods approach with a predominantly quantitative design. The sample consisted of 178 Indonesian digital startups registered with the Ministry of Communication and Information Technology (Kominfo) and AFTECH, selected using purposive sampling . Primary data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire, while secondary data consisted of financial reports and fintech transactions for 12 months. VaR was calculated using the Historical Simulation method (CI 95%). Data analysis used PLS-SEM with SmartPLS 4.0, supplemented by semi-structured interviews for triangulation. Results – All five hypotheses were significantly accepted (p < 0.01). Equity crowdfunding (β=0.348) and P2P lending (β=0.427) positively influenced investment funding decisions, with P2P having a greater influence due to its liquidity speed and working capital flexibility. Investment funding decisions further positively influenced VaR (β=0.521). Startups using a combination of ECF and P2P had the highest VaR (8.15% of total assets), while those using ECF alone had the lowest (4.28%). These findings confirm a trade-off between funding accessibility through fintech and market risk stability. The study also extends pecking order theory in the context of digital startups and provides practical implications for startups, fintech platforms , and the Financial Services Authority (OJK) regulator

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of the Dividend Payout Ratio (DPR) and Dividend Yield on investor perceptions of the profitability of banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the 2020-2024 period. Dividend policy is a crucial financial decision that reflects the allocation of profits between dividend payments and retained earnings. There is a theoretical controversy between dividend relevance (Gordon-Lintner) and dividend irrelevance (Modigliani-Miller), as well as inconsistent empirical findings regarding the direction of the influence of DPR and DY, which constitute a gap in this research. This study employed a quantitative approach with a causality design and panel data (pooled time-series cross-sectional). The sample was selected using a purposive sampling method based on the following criteria: banking companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) throughout 2020-2024, published complete financial reports, consistently distributed dividends, and had complete data available for variable calculations. Data were analyzed using panel data regression with the help of EViews, through the stages of classical assumption testing, model selection (Chow Test, Hausman Test, LM Test), and hypothesis testing (t-test, F-test, coefficient of determination). Investor perception was proxied by Price-to-Book Value (PBV). The results show that DPR has a positive and significant effect on PBV (coefficient 0.028; p=0.001), thus H1 is accepted. Conversely, Dividend Yield has a negative and significant effect on PBV (coefficient -0.185; p=0.003), thus H2 is accepted. These findings confirm signaling theory in emerging markets and indicate that Indonesian banking investors value long-term growth prospects more than short-term dividend yields. This research contributes to the development of dividend policy theory and provides practical implications for banking management in formulating optimal dividend policies by considering domestic investor preferences.
