Abstract

The advancement of digital technology has led to various innovations in the financial sector, one of which is financial technology (fintech). This innovation has significantly transformed how society, especially the millennial generation, accesses financial services and participates in investment activities. This study aims to examine in depth how fintech contributes to increasing investment participation among Indonesian millennials. A descriptive qualitative approach is employed through literature review methods, supported by secondary data from authoritative institutions such as the Financial Services Authority (OJK), Bank Indonesia, as well as various industry reports and academic publications. Findings indicate that fintech successfully reduces many conventional barriers that have long hindered young people from investing. These barriers include limited access to initial capital, a lack of credible investment information, and complex traditional investment procedures. Fintech platforms offer more inclusive access through user-friendly mobile applications, educational features, and more affordable and flexible investment options. These features play a significant role in increasing millennials' interest and confidence in investing. Nevertheless, challenges remain in the form of uneven financial literacy and data security risks, which must be managed seriously. This study concludes that fintech acts as a strategic driver of financial inclusion, with great potential to foster a more financially literate and empowered young generation of investors.

Abstract

Public service delivery represents one of the government's primary functions in fulfilling citizens' basic needs and improving the relationship between the state and society. One essential form of public service is the provision of clean water managed by Regional Water Utilities (PDAM). As a public service provider, the Bengkulu City Regional Water Utility (PDAM Tirta Hidayah) is expected to deliver high-quality, effective, and citizen-oriented services. This study aims to analyze the Community Satisfaction Index (CSI) regarding public services provided by PDAM Tirta Hidayah Bengkulu City. A descriptive quantitative approach was employed in this research. Data were collected through a community satisfaction survey administered to PDAM service users using a questionnaire developed based on the Regulation of the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform of the Republic of Indonesia Number 14 of 2017 concerning Guidelines for Community Satisfaction Surveys in Public Service Delivery Units. The CSI was measured using nine service elements, namely service requirements, systems, mechanisms and procedures, completion time, costs or tariffs, service product specifications, service provider competence, service provider behavior, complaint handling, and facilities and infrastructure. The results indicate that the overall level of community satisfaction with the services provided by PDAM Tirta Hidayah Bengkulu City falls within the excellent category. Among the nine service elements evaluated, the highest scores were achieved by the elements of systems, mechanisms, and procedures and complaint handling, suggestions, and feedback, with converted index scores of 88.25 and 85.25, respectively. These findings demonstrate the clarity of service processes and the responsiveness of the service provider in addressing public complaints and feedback. Therefore, the quality of public services provided by PDAM Tirta Hidayah Bengkulu City can be considered highly satisfactory from the perspective of service users.

Abstract

Effective working capital management is a crucial aspect of corporate financial management, as it directly influences a company's liquidity, operational efficiency, and profitability. This study aims to analyze the role of working capital management in improving corporate profitability by examining the relationship between key working capital components, including accounts receivable, inventory, accounts payable, and the cash conversion cycle, with profitability indicators. The study adopts a quantitative research approach using secondary data obtained from the financial statements of selected companies over a specified period. Data are analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis to determine the effect of working capital management on corporate profitability. The findings indicate that efficient working capital management significantly contributes to higher profitability by reducing unnecessary financing costs, improving cash flow, and enhancing operational performance. In particular, a shorter cash conversion cycle and optimal management of receivables and inventory are associated with improved financial performance. The study concludes that companies should implement effective working capital management strategies to maintain financial stability and maximize profitability in an increasingly competitive business environment. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for corporate managers, investors, and policymakers in formulating financial management strategies that support sustainable business growth.

Abstract

Working capital management is a crucial aspect of corporate financial management because it directly influences a company's liquidity, operational efficiency, and profitability. Effective management of current assets and current liabilities enables firms to maintain smooth business operations while maximizing financial performance. This study aims to analyze the role of working capital management in improving corporate profitability by examining the relationship between working capital efficiency and financial performance. The study adopts a quantitative research approach using secondary data collected from the published annual financial statements of selected companies over the observation period. The data are analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis to evaluate the effect of working capital management on corporate profitability. The findings indicate that efficient working capital management contributes positively to corporate profitability by improving cash flow, optimizing inventory levels, accelerating accounts receivable collection, and effectively managing accounts payable. In addition, an efficient cash conversion cycle is associated with higher profitability because it enables companies to recover invested funds more quickly and reduce reliance on external financing. The study concludes that effective working capital management is an essential strategy for enhancing operational efficiency, maintaining financial stability, and improving long-term corporate profitability. The findings provide practical implications for corporate managers, investors, and policymakers in developing financial management strategies that support sustainable business growth and value creation.
