Abstract

This article examines the Perang Topat ritual as a cultural-historical practice representing interreligious harmony in West Lombok, a region where Sasak and Balinese communities have long interacted, forming a distinctive socio-religious configuration. Held in Lingsar, the ritual functions not only as a religious tradition but also as a cultural mechanism for managing differences in identity, social tensions, and shared interests related to vital water resources. The study focuses on the historical context, ritual structure, symbolic meanings, and social functions of Perang Topat in sustaining intercommunal harmony. Employing a qualitative approach grounded in ethnography and cultural history, data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The findings reveal that the ritual serves as a space for symbolic communication, social integration, and conflict management between Hindu and Wetu Telu Islam communities. Perang Topat demonstrates that harmony is a product of socio-historical negotiation and remains relevant as a living cultural heritage for strengthening social cohesion in Indonesia’s multicultural society.

Abstract

The Pakon ritual is one of the local cultural practices of the Sasak community in Lenek Village, carrying strong social, spiritual, and cultural values. In recent years, its continuity has faced growing challenges due to social change, modernization, and shifting perspectives among younger generations. This study aims to examine efforts to strengthen local cultural values through Pakon ritual-based education for youth. A qualitative approach was applied using descriptive methods, including observation, interviews, and documentation studies. The findings reveal that culture-based education through the Pakon ritual helps deepen young people’s understanding of their local identity, increases appreciation for cultural heritage, and fosters a collective awareness to preserve traditions. It also creates a space where traditional values can meet and adapt to the realities of modern life experienced by the younger generation.

Abstract

Generation Z now constitutes a significant component of the global workforce, yet faces substantial adaptation challenges when entering companies with traditional, hierarchical, and procedural organizational cultures. This study aims to explore the adaptation strategies developed by Generation Z employees in response to tensions between their personal values and the cultural demands of traditional companies. Employing a qualitative approach with an interpretative phenomenological analysis design, this research involved 10 participants working in three established traditional companies within the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek), each operating for a minimum of 25 years. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews and analyzed using a six-stage interpretative phenomenological analysis procedure. The findings identified five superordinate themes, including fundamental value clashes encompassing flexibility versus rigid procedures, transparency versus information hierarchy, and immediate feedback versus annual evaluations, passive resistance as an initial strategy manifested through quiet non-compliance, work-to-rule, and silent psychological exit, the critical role of direct supervisors as cultural buffers and determinants of personal loyalty, dual identity negotiation through selective conformity and authenticity strain, and reconstruction of loyalty’s meaning from unconditional to conditional or reciprocal. This study also proposes a Three-Phase Adaptation Model for Generation Z in Traditional Companies consisting of disorientation, negotiation, and stabilization or exit. Theoretical contributions include enriching coping theory, extending social identity theory, and introducing the concept of authenticity strain, while practical implications encompass redesigning performance evaluation systems, cross-generational leadership training, and the development of reverse mentoring programs.

Abstract

This study aims to explore in depth the switching mechanisms implemented by a CEO of an Indonesian household equipment manufacturing company to balance the competing demands of standardization and flexibility in job design. A qualitative approach with an instrumental single-case study design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with the CEO, limited participant observation on the production floor over three days, and analysis of corporate documents. Data analysis utilized the Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) framework. The research identified three primary switching mechanisms implemented: (1) a daily mode-switching protocol based on production line status, (2) a trigger-based escalation matrix for handling deviations, and (3) a post-mortem learning loop that integrates experiential learning into procedural updates. Findings indicate that successful switching implementation is critically dependent on systematic investment in developing worker capacity through cross-skilling and fostering a culture of psychological safety. The novelty of this research lies in being the first empirical study to document in detail the implementation of switching mechanisms within hybrid job design in the Indonesian manufacturing context.

Abstract

This study investigates the challenges of job design within the context of maritime sector automation, focusing specifically on the preferences of the Generation Z workforce. Employing a case study approach across three Indonesian maritime entities alongside a comparative international literature review, this research identifies a fundamental tension between the demands of technological efficiency and the necessity for human role effectiveness. The principal findings indicate that Generation Z in the maritime sector exhibits a strong preference for RAISA (Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Service Automation) technologies as assistive tools rather than as replacements. The highest acceptance rate was recorded for decision-support systems (86.4%), while the lowest was for fully automated customer interaction (23.7%). This study proposes a novel Hybrid Role Integration (HRI) model that synthesizes the principles of technical efficiency with the psychological meaningfulness of work. The research's novelty lies in integrating the digital native generation's perspective into the maritime job design framework, alongside the development of human role effectiveness indicators specific to the operational context of archipelagic waters. Practical implications encompass policy recommendations for human-machine collaboration training and the restructuring of career pathways based on hybrid competencies.

Abstract

This study analyzes the changes in capital structure decisions of issuers before and after Initial Public Offering (IPO) on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2018-2022 period. Employing a quantitative approach with a longitudinal retrospective design, this study involved 74 non-financial companies, generating 444 firm-year observations. The results revealed three main findings. First, there was a significant decrease in all capital structure proxies post-IPO, with the Debt to Equity Ratio declining from 1.874 to 1.562 (p<0.05). Second, the speed of capital structure adjustment reached 0.487, higher than the pre-IPO period (0.312). Third, companies conducting IPOs in hot market conditions experienced a more drastic leverage reduction (Δ=-0.778; p<0.05) compared to cold market conditions (Δ=-0.089; p>0.05). Panel data regression analysis confirmed that firm size and asset tangibility positively influenced leverage, while profitability, growth, business risk, and IPO market conditions exerted negative effects. This study integrates trade-off theory, pecking order theory, and market timing theory in explaining capital structure phenomena during the IPO transition period. The primary contribution of this research lies in providing empirical evidence from emerging markets and developing a partial adjustment model that impacts the dynamics of post-IPO capital structure adjustment.

Abstract

This study aims to deeply understand how dividend payout ratio determination strategies in family firms are influenced by intergenerational preference shifts, with a specific focus on the entry of Generation Z into the ownership and management structure of family firms. The research employs a qualitative approach with an ethnographic case study design on two family firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (PT XXX and PT YYY). Data collection was conducted through in-depth interviews with 24 informants, participant observation, and document analysis covering the 2018–2022 period. Data analysis was conducted through domain, taxonomic, componential, and cultural theme analysis to capture patterns of meaning within the data. The research reveals significant shifts in dividend preferences across generations, where founder generations tend to retain earnings for reinvestment with a long-term orientation, Generation X and Millennials demonstrate more balanced preferences between dividends and retained earnings, and Generation Z exhibits distinct characteristics, including higher dividend preferences, stronger demands for transparency, a tendency to question traditional authority, and the use of technology in monitoring dividend policies. These shifts create new tensions in family firm governance that remain underexplored in existing literature. This study contributes by explicitly analyzing the influence of Generation Z's entry on dividend policy in family firms using an ethnographic approach and by integrating the socio-emotional wealth perspective with generational theory.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the reasons why companies maintain a stable dividend policy amidst earnings fluctuations using a qualitative case study approach. This phenomenon creates a puzzle in the finance literature because, theoretically, earnings fluctuations should negatively impact dividend stability. Employing an instrumental case study design on three manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange, this research interviewed ten key informants, including Finance Directors, CFOs, Financial Managers, and Commissioners, and analyzed secondary documents. Thematic analysis was employed to identify key patterns in the data. The findings generate five main themes, including commitment to signals of stability and predictability, management of shareholder expectations based on investor composition, availability of financial buffers and proactive liquidity management, governance mechanisms and agency control, and strategic considerations of policy flexibility. The results indicate that companies maintain dividend stability through three main strategies: cash reserve policies, access to credit facilities, and accumulation of retained earnings. The theoretical contribution of this research lies in enriching signaling theory and agency theory with perspectives from the emerging market context of Indonesia, as well as providing a mechanistic understanding of dividend smoothing practices.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the lived experiences of minority shareholders regarding dividend policy in companies with concentrated ownership. Departing from previous studies dominated by quantitative-positivistic approaches, this research employs interpretative phenomenological analysis to capture the subjective meanings behind dividend policy outcomes. Through in-depth interviews with six minority shareholders in Indonesian public companies, this study identifies four superordinate themes, including the ambivalence of dividend reception, where high dividends raise concerns of long-term expropriation while low dividends trigger suspicions of tunneling, organized resignation as a dominant coping strategy through exit and the development of information networks, limited voice reflected in the perception of the General Meeting of Shareholders as a formal ritual without substantive impact, and a universal trust deficit in which suspicions of expropriation are shared across participants. This study contributes to the corporate governance literature by presenting an emic perspective that has been largely overlooked and by extending the application of interpretative phenomenological analysis into the field of finance and corporate governance.

Abstract

This study explores the practice of psychological accounting among managers in allocating training and development budgets, focusing on how managers subjectively and politically justify or reject training budgets beyond mere Return on Investment (ROI) considerations. Using an organizational ethnography approach at PT Manufaktur Nusantara (pseudonym) over six months, this research involved participant observation of 23 budget meeting sessions, in-depth interviews with 18 participants (32 interviews), and analysis of 47 internal documents. The findings reveal several main patterns, including a systematic difference in the mental categorization of training budgets between finance managers, who categorize them as discretionary expenses, and HR or line managers, who categorize them as strategic investments, which violates the fungibility assumption in neoclassical economics, the use of loss framing strategies that achieved a higher approval rate compared to gain framing, confirming the loss aversion principle, the influence of sunk cost fallacy in decisions to continue training programs, and the dominant role of personal relationships and informal negotiations in budget discussions. The novelty of this research lies in revealing that psychological accounting in organizations is multidimensional, socially constructed, and varies by functional position. This study contributes to extending mental accounting theory from the individual to the organizational level and provides practical implications for designing budgeting systems that consider behavioral factors.
