Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of Green Intellectual Capital (GIC) in the development of waste-to-energy (WtE) technologies, which is of special relevance for the incineration plants in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Although previous studies have focused primarily on technological and infrastructural aspects, this paper investigates the contribution of intangible assets such as green human, structural, and relational capital towards the performance and sustainability of WtE systems. Adopting a mixed-method approach, the results show that Green Structural Capital has the first place in supporting operational efficiency, followed by Green Human Capital and Green Relational Capital. The statistical analysis based on Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) shows that all GIC dimensions are positively related to plant performance, with institutionalized knowledge and systems as the most significant enablers of innovation. Qualitative findings also highlight constraints such as lack of training, unhandy knowledge systems, and poor public-private interaction. The findings recommend policy suggestions for promoting GIC assimilation within environmental infrastructure and provide a region-based theoretical model connecting knowledge-based resources and sustainable waste management practices. The study emphasizes the importance of integrating intellectual capital into the strategic decision-making process of waste-to-energy plants to enhance their operational effectiveness and long-term sustainability. Additionally, the research underlines that fostering a knowledge-sharing culture and enhancing collaboration between various stakeholders, including governmental bodies, private firms, and research institutions, is critical for the success of green initiatives. Training programs aimed at developing green human capital and improving public-private partnerships are essential to overcoming the current barriers to innovation in the WtE sector. This study has practical and scholarly implications in unifying the focus from just technology to the facilitating role of human and intellectual capital in green transformation, further bridging the gap between environmental sustainability and technological advancements in waste management.

Abstract

The quality of financial reporting has become increasingly important in the digital era, particularly for manufacturing companies facing complex operational challenges. The implementation of accounting information systems (AIS) and human resource competency are critical factors that may influence financial reporting quality. This study aims to examine the effect of accounting information systems implementation and human resource competency on the financial reporting quality of manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This quantitative study employed a survey design with primary and secondary data collection. The sample consisted of 150 manufacturing companies listed on IDX during 2020-2023, selected using purposive sampling. Data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to finance managers and financial statement analysis. Multiple regression analysis was used to test the hypotheses. The findings indicate that accounting information systems implementation has a significant positive effect on financial reporting quality (β = 0.456, p < 0.01). Human resource competency also shows a significant positive effect on financial reporting quality (β = 0.387, p < 0.01). The simultaneous effect of both variables explains 68.7% of the variance in financial reporting quality (R² = 0.687, F = 165.42, p < 0.01). Both accounting information systems implementation and human resource competency significantly enhance financial reporting quality. Manufacturing companies should prioritize investing in advanced AIS technology and developing human resource competencies to improve their financial reporting quality.

Abstract

This study explores the influence of live streaming mode on the purchase intention of tropical fruits among consumers in Henan, China, in the context of the rapid growth of e-commerce. Live streaming has emerged as a dynamic and interactive platform that enables real-time engagement between sellers and buyers, offering visual product demonstrations and instant feedback opportunities. The research focuses on three critical factors affecting purchase intention: perceived trust, perceived value, and perceived risk. A quantitative research design was employed, collecting data from 392 participants through structured questionnaires. The analysis indicates that interactive communication, transparent information sharing, and authentic presentations during live streaming significantly enhance perceived trust and perceived value. Higher perceived trust fosters a stronger sense of reliability toward sellers, while increased perceived value motivates consumers by highlighting product quality, freshness, and fair pricing. Furthermore, effective live streaming strategies can substantially reduce perceived risks related to product authenticity, quality uncertainty, and transaction security, creating a more favorable purchase environment. The results suggest that the integration of engaging storytelling, professional product showcasing, and active audience interaction serves as a catalyst for influencing consumer attitudes and behaviors toward purchasing tropical fruits. This study enriches the existing literature on live streaming commerce by highlighting its psychological and behavioral impacts on consumer decision-making. In practical terms, the findings offer actionable insights for marketers and fruit sellers, emphasizing the importance of building trust, delivering genuine product experiences, and minimizing risks to maximize purchase intentions. These strategies are particularly relevant for agricultural e-commerce in Henan, where live streaming can bridge the gap between rural producers and urban consumers. Overall, this research provides both theoretical contributions to the study of digital co sumer behavior and practical guidance for optimizing live streaming as a competitive marketing tool in the fresh produce industry.

Abstract

Badung Market, as one of the largest traditional markets in Denpasar City, serves as a central hub of economic activity and sustains the livelihood of a substantial number of women traders. The presence of women in this sector is not only a reflection of their economic role but also of their contribution to household welfare and community development. This study aims to analyze the influence of education, income, dependents, and age on women’s decisions to work as traders in Pasar Badung. Employing a quantitative approach with an associative design, the research involved 88 respondents selected through purposive sampling from a total population of 768 female traders. Data collection methods included questionnaires, direct observation, and interviews, while data analysis utilized multiple linear regression preceded by validity, reliability, and classical assumption tests to ensure robustness. The results indicate that, simultaneously, all independent variables significantly affect women’s decision to engage in trading activities. Partially, education, dependents, and age show a significant positive effect, suggesting that higher educational attainment, greater family responsibilities, and maturity increase women’s participation in trading. In contrast, husband’s income exerts a significant negative effect, implying that higher spousal earnings reduce the economic pressure for women to seek income through market trading. These findings highlight that economic necessity, household responsibilities, and social roles remain the primary motivators for women’s active involvement in traditional market activities. The implications of this study are relevant for policymakers and local governments, particularly in designing targeted empowerment programs, skills training, and economic support mechanisms to enhance women’s entrepreneurial capacity in traditional markets. Strengthening women’s roles in this sector is crucial not only for family welfare but also for broader community resilience and local economic growth.

Abstract

Reworked clothing refers to the process of taking existing garments or textiles and transforming them into new clothing. Wearing reworked clothing is one of the best ways to reduce fashion waste while creating unique and environmentally friendly apparel. Generation Z is a digital generation that tends to express themselves through the clothing they wear. This study explains the simultaneous and partial effects of the variables willingness to pay, income, product quality, and conceptual understanding of the SDGs on the purchase probability for reworked clothing. The research was conducted on 100 respondents in South Jakarta who followed the Instagram account @make.them.jealous by distributing an online Google Form questionnaire, with data analysis performed using SPSS software. The purpose of this study was to determine the simultaneous and partial effects of the independent variables on the dependent variable. The results showed that willingness to pay, income, product quality, and conceptual understanding of the SDGs simultaneously had a significant effect on the purchase probability for reworked clothing. However, willingness to pay and income did not have a partial effect on purchase probability for reworked clothing, while product quality and conceptual understanding of the SDGs had a significant partial effect on the purchase probability for reworked clothing.

Abstract

Stock returns represent a crucial parameter that serves as a reference for investors in evaluating company performance. A decline in returns has occurred in several mining companies listed on the IDX, despite the sector’s vital role in the national economy. This study aims to examine the effect of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), Return on Assets (ROA), Return on Equity (ROE), Debt to Equity Ratio (DER), and Firm Size on the stock returns of mining companies listed on the IDX during the 2022–2024 period. The sample was determined using purposive sampling, resulting in 56 observational data after outliers were removed. To meet the assumptions of classical tests, several variables were transformed using natural logarithms, and data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results indicate that CSR, ROE, and Firm Size have no significant effect on stock returns, whereas ROA and DER show a significant positive effect. These findings suggest that investors tend to emphasize financial fundamentals, particularly profitability and capital structure, rather than non-financial aspects such as CSR activities. The implication for companies is the need to enhance operational efficiency and optimize financial structures to attract investors and improve returns. Future researchers are encouraged to incorporate external variables such as global commodity prices, market risk, and macroeconomic indicators, as well as expand the observation period and apply more diverse methodological approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding of stock return dynamics in the mining sector.

Abstract

This study examines the impact of workload and work stress on employee job satisfaction at PT Inhutani I UMI Gresik, a wood-processing company operating under Perum Perhutani. The research employed a quantitative design with an associative (causal) approach to identify the extent to which workload and stress contribute to variations in job satisfaction. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 48 employees selected using a simple random sampling method. The analytical process involved validity and reliability testing, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression, as well as t-tests, F-tests, and the coefficient of determination (R²). The results indicate that workload and work stress, when considered simultaneously, have a significant influence on job satisfaction. However, partial testing revealed that workload did not exert a significant effect, while work stress had a statistically significant negative impact on satisfaction. Regression analysis further demonstrated that work stress emerged as the dominant predictor, accounting for a larger proportion of variance compared to workload, as reflected by the higher beta coefficient and partial determination value. These findings suggest that while workload may serve as a motivator when maintained within reasonable limits, unmanaged stress arising from role ambiguity, conflicting demands, and organizational pressures significantly undermines job satisfaction. The study underscores the importance of stress management strategies within organizations, particularly in high-demand industries such as forestry and wood processing. Practical implications include the need for supportive leadership, effective communication, realistic target-setting, and the implementation of employee assistance programs. By addressing stress more effectively, organizations can enhance employee well-being, foster greater job satisfaction, and ultimately improve overall organizational performance.

Abstract

The increasing prevalence of online customer reviews has made them a critical component in consumer decision-making processes, particularly in the food and beverage sector. These reviews serve as valuable feedback, influencing both the assessment of product quality and the establishment of consumer trust. In the context of Burger Bangor in Gianyar Regency, this study aims to examine the mediating role of trust in the relationship between online customer reviews and purchasing decisions. Using a purposive sampling technique, an online survey was distributed to 100 respondents who had previously purchased Burger Bangor products. The data collected were analyzed using path analysis to test the proposed hypotheses. The findings reveal that online customer reviews significantly influence purchasing decisions by positively enhancing consumer trust. Furthermore, trust itself was found to have a strong positive effect on purchasing decisions and partially mediates the relationship between online reviews and purchasing decisions. These results highlight the importance of effectively managing online customer reviews as they not only provide crucial information to potential buyers but also play a pivotal role in building trust, which in turn influences consumer purchasing behavior. For Burger Bangor, actively responding to and leveraging these reviews can be an essential strategy for improving customer trust and increasing purchase intentions, ultimately contributing to sustained competitiveness in the food and beverage industry.
