Abstract

This study aimed to develop and evaluate a group guidance model based on traditional Mandar games to improve the social skills of junior high school students. The research was motivated by the observed decline in students’ social competencies, particularly in communication, cooperation, and empathy, as a consequence of increased reliance on digital technology and reduced face-to-face interaction in school settings. Traditional Mandar games were selected as the core medium of guidance because they embody local cultural values such as cooperation, respect, empathy, and sportsmanship, which are essential for social development. The study employed a research and development (R&D) approach adapted from the Borg and Gall model, simplified into five stages: needs analysis, model design, initial product development, limited field trials, and final revision. The participants consisted of 25 eighth-grade students at a public junior high school in Polewali Mandar Regency, West Sulawesi, selected purposively based on identified social skill difficulties. Data were collected using expert validation sheets, model practicality questionnaires, and social skills tests measuring cooperation, empathy, communication, and self-control. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative and quantitative techniques. The findings revealed that the developed model achieved a validity score of 86.4% (very valid), a practicality score of 89.2% (very practical), and demonstrated high effectiveness, as indicated by a significant increase in students’ social skills from pretest to posttest with a gain score of 0.78. These results indicate that the traditional Mandar game-based group guidance model is conceptually sound, easy to implement, and effective in enhancing students’ social skills. The study concludes that integrating local cultural wisdom into group guidance services provides a contextual, engaging, and sustainable approach to social skills development in schools.

Abstract

This study examines the role of digital marketing, innovation, and product quality on the performance of UMKM in Batam City as a strategic region adjacent to Singapore and Malaysia. The main problem is the low competitiveness of UMKM amid globalization, changing consumer behavior, and intense competition, despite the number of UMKM fostered by the Batam City Government reaching 1,748 units (April 2024). The research objectives are to test the partial and simultaneous effects of the three variables on UMKM performance. The method used is descriptive quantitative with a sample of 110 MSMEs in the Nagoya, Tembesi, and Sekupang areas, employing a 5-point Likert-based questionnaire and regression analysis via SPSS 21. The main results show that digital marketing (t=3.510; sig. 0.001), innovation, and product quality have a positive and significant partial effect; simultaneously (F-test), the three variables together enhance sales growth, customer base, and profits. The synthesis of findings reinforces that the synergy of these three factors creates sustainable competitive advantage. Conclusion: Batam UMKM must optimize digital platforms, continuously innovate, and maintain quality consistency to compete in the digital economy era. This research provides empirical contributions to UMKM development strategies in border regions.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of the lunar cycle specifically the new moon and full moon phases on stock price patterns within the SRI KEHATI Index over a five-year period (2019–2023). Financial astrology, which integrates finance, astronomy, and behavioral psychology, has long been debated for its potential influence on investor sentiment and market movements. Using a quantitative research approach, this study analyzes secondary data from 11 companies selected through purposive sampling, resulting in 8,046 total observations across lunar cycles. Abnormal returns were calculated using the market model, and differences in stock price behavior were examined through paired sample t-tests comparing three days before and three days after both the new moon and full moon events. The empirical findings show no significant difference in abnormal returns surrounding either lunar event. Specifically, price patterns before and after the new moon exhibit no observable changes, indicating trend continuity rather than reversal. Likewise, the full moon phase does not produce statistically significant price deviations, suggesting that investor behavior in the SRI KEHATI Index is not influenced by lunar phenomena. These results contrast with prior studies that reported mixed evidence regarding lunar effects on market performance, implying that the impact of astronomical cycles may be context-dependent and vary across indices, time periods, and investor characteristics. Overall, this study concludes that lunar cycles do not affect price patterns in the SRI KEHATI Index. The findings contribute to behavioral finance research by emphasizing the limited role of lunar-driven sentiment in Indonesian sustainable stock indices.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of tax knowledge, awareness, and religiosity on taxpayer compliance among small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Indonesia. The study adopts a quantitative approach using primary data collected through questionnaires distributed to SME taxpayers. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression with a significance level of 0.05. The results of the study show that tax knowledge has a t-value of 2.279 greater than the t-table value of 1.98498 and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, indicating that tax knowledge partially affects taxpayer compliance. The awareness variable also shows a t-value of 2.680 > 1.98498 with a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, meaning that taxpayer awareness has a significant influence on compliance. Furthermore, the religiosity variable has a t-value of 2.988 > 1.98498 and a significance level of 0.000 < 0.05, suggesting that religiosity has a positive and significant effect on taxpayer compliance. These findings imply that increasing taxpayers' understanding of taxation, enhancing their awareness of tax obligations, and strengthening their religious values can significantly improve compliance levels. The study contributes to the development of behavioral tax compliance models by highlighting the role of internal factors such as knowledge, awareness, and religiosity. The results are expected to provide insights for policymakers and tax authorities in designing effective strategies to foster voluntary compliance among SME taxpayers in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study investigates the role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in enhancing supply chain efficiency in Batam’s manufacturing sector, focusing on firms in the electronics, shipbuilding, plastics, automotive, and related industries operating within the Free Trade Zone and Special Economic Zone. Drawing on the Resource-Based View (RBV), AI is conceptualized as a strategic capability comprising Machine Learning (ML), Robotics and Automation (R&A), Internet of Things (IoT), Natural Language Processing and Chatbots (NLP&C), and Computer Vision (COMV). Data were collected through a structured questionnaire administered to managers and supervisors from 320 purposively selected firms and analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The study also models Supply Chain Automation Processes (SCAP)—including inventory, logistics, procurement, warehouse operations, and predictive maintenance—as a mediating mechanism between AI adoption and Supply Chain Efficiency (SCE). The results show that IoT and ML are the most influential AI technologies, significantly improving operational efficiency, accuracy, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction. Inventory management, warehouse automation, logistics optimization, and predictive maintenance emerge as critical automation domains translating AI capabilities into tangible performance gains. R&A and COMV exhibit weaker or context-dependent effects, reflecting capital intensity and integration challenges, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises. Overall, AI and SCAP jointly explain a substantial proportion of the variance in supply chain efficiency, highlighting that AI yields the greatest benefits when embedded in end-to-end automation. The findings provide theoretical contributions by disaggregating AI into specific sub-technologies and practical guidance for firms and policymakers in Batam to prioritize IoT- and analytics-driven initiatives for scalable, resilient, and competitive supply chains.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors that influence the performance of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Batam City. MSME performance is a complex function of internal (endogenous) and external (exogenous) pressures, thus requiring a robust analytical framework to measure the relative weight and interaction of these factors. This study uses a survey method as the main approach and a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) model using SmartPLS on 150 MSME actors in Batam City. The results of convergent validity, discriminant validity, and reliability tests show that all indicators are valid (Outer Loading > 0.7; AVE > 0.5) and reliable (Composite Reliability > 0.6; Cronbach's Alpha > 0.7). The main findings indicate that external factors have a positive and significant effect on internal factors (Path Coeff. 0.328;. P-value 0,000), external factors have a positive and significant effect on MSME performance (Path Coeff. 0.232; P-value 0.025), and internal factors have a positive and significant effect on MSME performance (Path Coeff. 0.253; P-value 0.042). The F-square value indicates that the contribution of these effects falls into the moderate to strong category. In general, all research hypotheses are accepted, confirming that both external and internal factors play an important role in improving the performance of MSMEs in Batam City.

Abstract

This study analyzes the business model and sustainability of SemJoy, a micro, small, and medium enterprise (MSME) beverage brand based in Batam, Indonesia, using the Business Model Canvas (BMC) framework. SemJoy offers an innovative drink made from kiamboi (preserved plum), calamansi, and lychee jelly, producing a distinctive combination of sour, sweet, and salty flavors tailored to tropical consumer preferences. Employing a qualitative participatory approach, the research integrates outreach, mentoring, BMC analysis, SWOT analysis, and financial evaluation to map SemJoy’s strategic position and performance. The BMC findings show that SemJoy’s strengths lie in its unique value proposition, affordable and simple production process, use of natural ingredients without preservatives, and localized digital marketing through social media. Key partners include local raw material suppliers and small retailers, while customer segments consist mainly of students, campus communities, and the general public. SWOT analysis indicates strong product differentiation and market opportunities in the growing demand for refreshing beverages, but also highlights challenges such as short shelf life, price volatility of raw materials, and the risk of product imitation. Financial analysis reveals a total sales revenue of IDR 2,480,500 with production costs of IDR 1,412,000, resulting in a net profit of IDR 1,068,500 and a Net Profit Margin (NPM) of 43.08%. The Break-Even Point (BEP) of 29 units demonstrates high economic feasibility. Overall, the study concludes that SemJoy has a viable and competitive business model, and that future sustainability will depend on continuous innovation, improved packaging, supply chain resilience, and strategic partnerships.

Abstract

This study examines how proactive social media engagement, conducted through the Social Customer Relationship Management (Social CRM) practices of Scarlett Whitening, influences customer perceptions of brand meaning and overall brand equity. As brands increasingly initiate unsolicited interactions on Instagram and TikTok, understanding how customers interpret these engagements becomes essential for explaining their emotional and behavioral responses. Using a qualitative design, this research employs Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) to explore customers’ lived experiences and the meanings they assign to proactive brand interactions. The population of the study includes active social media users in Indonesia who follow beauty brands. A homogeneous purposive sample of six participants aged 19–30 years was selected based on their direct experience receiving proactive engagement from Scarlett Whitening. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews as the primary instrument, complemented by field notes to support interpretive rigor. The findings reveal three key themes: feeling seen and recognized by the brand, reinterpreting brand intentions, and shifts in attitudes and behavioral loyalty. Participants reported emotional validation, increased trust, and stronger relational connection, which subsequently enhanced their willingness to purchase and advocate for the brand. These results demonstrate that proactive Social CRM operates as a relational experience that strengthens customer–brand bonds and contributes to experience-driven brand equity.
