Abstract

Purpose: This study evaluates the economic feasibility and assesses the financial risks associated with smallholder patin (Pangasius hypophthalmus) aquaculture in Kabupaten Kampar, Riau Province, Indonesia, to provide evidence-based recommendations for sustainable aquabusiness development. Materials and Methods: A descriptive-quantitative research design was employed with 60 smallholder patin farmers selected through purposive sampling. Data collection involved structured interviews, production record audits, financial document analysis, and direct pond observations. Economic feasibility was evaluated using Net Present Value (NPV), Benefit-Cost Ratio (BCR), Internal Rate of Return (IRR), and Payback Period (PP) at a 10% discount rate. Risk assessment incorporated Coefficient of Variation (CV), sensitivity analysis, Monte Carlo simulation (10,000 iterations), and scenario analysis. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 26. Results: The average NPV was IDR 127,450,000 (USD 8,497), BCR was 1.34, IRR was 24.6%, and PP was 2.8 years, indicating economic viability. Risk analysis revealed a CV of 0.42, suggesting moderate income variability. Monte Carlo simulation showed a 73.4% probability of positive returns. Sensitivity analysis identified feed cost (elasticity coefficient: -0.68) and market price (elasticity coefficient: 0.82) as critical risk factors. Under pessimistic scenarios, 31.7% of farms showed negative NPV. Conclusions: Patin aquaculture demonstrates economic feasibility under current market conditions, but faces significant risks from feed cost fluctuations and price volatility. Risk mitigation strategies including feed cost management, market diversification, and insurance mechanisms are recommended for sustainable development.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates the influence of motivation and workload on nurse performance at Setio Husodo Hospital, Kisaran, Indonesia. The research addresses the fluctuating performance trends observed over five years and explores how motivational factors and workload management contribute to nursing service quality. Materials and methods: A quantitative descriptive approach was employed with 39 nurses selected through saturated sampling. Data were collected using validated questionnaires measuring motivation (12 items, α=0.853), workload (8 items, α=0.831), and nurse performance (8 items, α=0.847). Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22 to test hypotheses at a 5% significance level. Results: The regression model Y=1.282+0.286X₁+0.538X₂ demonstrated that both motivation (t=3.363, p=0.002) and workload (t=4.653, p=0.000) significantly influenced nurse performance. The simultaneous F-test (F=65.475, p=0.000) confirmed the combined effect of both variables. The adjusted R² of 0.772 indicates that 77.2% of performance variance is explained by motivation and workload, with workload showing stronger influence (β=0.548) than motivation (β=0.396). Conclusions: Motivation and workload are critical determinants of nurse performance in hospital settings. Healthcare administrators should implement balanced workload distribution strategies and robust motivational programs to optimize nursing service delivery and patient care quality.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of price sensitivity and social media marketing strategies on consumer purchase decisions for holiday packages in the Indonesian tourism sector, specifically examining PT Bangben Group Indonesia's operations. Materials and Methods: A quantitative research design was employed with a population of 417 holiday package consumers during 2024. Using Slovin's formula, 81 respondents were selected through random sampling. Data collection utilized structured questionnaires measured on a 5-point Likert scale. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS version 22 to examine relationships between variables: price (X₁), social media marketing (X₂), and purchase decisions (Y). Validity testing employed Pearson correlation (r > 0.218), while reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha (α > 0.60). Results: The regression model Y = 6.888 + 0.764X₁ + 0.635X₂ + e demonstrated that both price and social media marketing significantly influence purchase decisions. Price showed positive significant effect (t = 3.616 > t-table 1.991, p = 0.001), as did social media marketing (t = 4.402 > t-table 1.991, p = 0.000). The simultaneous effect was confirmed (F = 52.730 > F-table 3.11, p = 0.000). The adjusted R² of 0.564 indicates that 56.4% of purchase decision variance is explained by these variables. Conclusions: Price sensitivity and social media marketing are critical determinants of consumer purchase decisions in tourism packages. The stronger influence of social media marketing (β = 0.452) compared to price (β = 0.371) suggests shifting consumer priorities in digital environments. Tourism operators should integrate competitive pricing strategies with robust social media presence to optimize conversion rates.

Abstract

Purpose: This study investigates the impact of job training, formal education, and physical work environment on employee productivity at the Public Works Office in Lubuk Pakam, Indonesia. The research addresses critical gaps in understanding how these human resource development factors synergistically influence organizational performance in public sector institutions. Materials and Methods: A quantitative research design was employed with a saturated sampling technique involving all 75 employees at the Public Works Office in Lubuk Pakam. Data were collected using validated questionnaires with Likert scale measurements. The instruments demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's Alpha: 0.964 for training, 0.837 for education, 0.925 for physical work environment, and 0.972 for productivity). Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS version 27 to examine the relationships between independent variables (job training, education, physical work environment) and the dependent variable (employee productivity). Results: The regression analysis yielded the equation Y = -7.131 + 0.317X₁ + 0.505X₂ + 0.924X₃ + e. Partial t-tests revealed that job training (t = 4.262, p < 0.001), education (t = 2.831, p = 0.006), and physical work environment (t = 6.552, p < 0.001) all exerted positive and statistically significant effects on employee productivity. Simultaneous F-test (F = 216.388, p < 0.001) confirmed the collective significance of all predictors. The model explained 89.7% of variance in productivity (Adjusted R² = 0.897), indicating exceptionally strong predictive power. Conclusions: This study provides robust empirical evidence that holistic investment in employee training, educational advancement, and physical workspace optimization significantly enhances productivity in public sector organizations. The physical work environment emerged as the strongest predictor, followed by job training and education. These findings underscore the critical importance of integrated human resource development strategies for achieving optimal organizational performance in Indonesian public institutions.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: In late 2024, PT. Cahaya Prima Lestari Abadi (Philips Lighting) experienced a noticeable decline in customer numbers. This downturn was attributed to several service-related issues, including employee performance that failed to meet customer expectations, resulting in dissatisfaction, as well as incidents of product damage during delivery, which undermined customer trust. These conditions collectively indicated weakening customer satisfaction and trust, ultimately affecting customer loyalty. This study aims to analyze the influence of customer satisfaction and customer trust on customer loyalty within PT. Cahaya Prima Lestari Abadi. Materials and methods: A quantitative research approach was employed. The study population consisted of 158 customers, and a sample of 61 respondents was selected through random sampling using the Slovin formula. Data were gathered through observations, interviews, questionnaires, and documentation. Multiple linear regression analysis was conducted using SPSS version 25 to examine the effects of customer satisfaction and customer trust on customer loyalty. Results: The findings revealed that customer satisfaction and customer trust both exert a positive and significant influence on customer loyalty. The resulting regression equation was Y = 6.104 + 0.446X₁ + 0.301X₂ + E. The t-test results showed that the satisfaction variable was significant (tcount = 3.506 > ttable = 2.001; p = 0.001), as was the trust variable (tcount = 2.984 > ttable = 2.001; p = 0.004). The F-test further confirmed a significant simultaneous effect (Fcount = 67.007 > Ftable = 3.16). The coefficient of determination (R² = 0.688) indicated that 68.8% of the variance in customer loyalty was explained by customer satisfaction and customer trust, while the remaining 31.2% was attributable to other factors not included in the model. Conclusions: The study concludes that both customer satisfaction and customer trust play crucial roles in shaping customer loyalty. Improving service quality and reducing delivery-related risks are essential strategies to strengthen loyalty and stabilize customer engagement. Future research should investigate additional determinants that may influence customer loyalty beyond satisfaction and trust.

Abstract

Purpose of the study: This study investigates the influence of employee loyalty and work discipline on productivity at PT. Rubber Hock Lie Sunggal, an international rubber manufacturing company based in North Sumatra, Indonesia. Materials and methods: A quantitative approach employing saturated sampling was utilized with 50 employees comprising the total workforce. Data collection involved primary sources through structured questionnaires and secondary sources from company documentation. Multiple linear regression analysis was employed to examine the relationships between variables, supplemented by classical assumption tests and hypothesis testing (t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination). Results: The multiple linear regression equation Y = 5.448 + 0.038X₁ + 0.602X₂ + e demonstrated that both loyalty and work discipline exert positive and significant effects on employee productivity. Partial testing revealed that loyalty significantly influences productivity (tcalculated = 2.269 > ttable = 2.011; p < 0.05), while work discipline demonstrates a stronger effect (tcalculated = 4.185 > ttable = 2.011; p < 0.001). Simultaneous testing yielded Fcalculated = 39.071 > Ftable = 3.20 (p < 0.001), confirming the combined significant effect. The adjusted R² value of 0.608 indicates that 60.8% of productivity variance is explained by loyalty and work discipline, with 39.2% attributed to other factors. Conclusions: Employee loyalty and work discipline significantly enhance productivity in the rubber manufacturing sector. Work discipline demonstrates a more substantial impact compared to loyalty. Organizations should prioritize strengthening disciplinary systems and fostering employee commitment to optimize workforce productivity. These findings contribute to human resource management strategies in manufacturing industries, particularly in developing economies.
