Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of social support, emotional intelligence, and mindfulness on the psychological well-being of employees at PT KAI (Persero) Daop 5 Purwokerto using a quantitative approach. From a population of 140 office employees, 104 respondents were selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected using a questionnaire and analyzed using multiple linear regression (IBM SPSS 25). The results indicate that social support and mindfulness have a positive effect on psychological well-being, while emotional intelligence does not show a significant effect. The theoretical framework used was the Conservation of Resources (COR) theory, which emphasizes that individuals strive to maintain and develop psychological resources to preserve well-being. These findings suggest the need for organizations to strengthen social support in the workplace and develop mindfulness enhancement programs as strategies to maintain and improve employee psychological well-being, while also contributing to the development of COR theory application in the workplace context.

Abstract

Twenty2 Clothing Store is a fashion business experiencing difficulties in inventory control due to demand uncertainty. The research was conducted from January to September 2025 at Twenty2 Clothing Store. The methods used were demand forecasting, probabilistic inventory modeling, and analysis according to the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The study's results indicated that the most appropriate forecasting method was Holt-Winters exponential smoothing. The amount of safety stock needed from June 2025 to January 2026 was 129 pcs, from February to March 2026 was 112 pcs, and from April to May 2026 was 35 pcs. The reorder point for June 2025-January 2026 was 131 pcs, for February-March 2026 was 134 pcs, and for April-May 2026 was 38 pcs. The recommended optimal order quantity for June 2025-January 2026 was 396 pieces, for February-March 2026 was 176 pieces, and for April-May 2026 was 28 pieces. The analysis of inventory management internal control according to COSO control components at Twenty2 Clothing Store was good but still simple and not yet digitalized. Therefore, Twenty2 Clothing Store can use the forecasting results and improve internal control in a systematic, structured, and recorded manner with a digitalization system.

Abstract

Digital  transformation  has  introduced  voice  commerce  as  an  innovation  in  artificial  intelligence–based  marketing  strategies,  enabling  consumers  to  interact  through  voice  commands.  This  study  aims  to  examine  the  influence  of  business  ethics  and  voice  commerce–based  digital  marketing  on  purchase  decisions,  with  consumer  trust  as  a  mediating  variable.  The  research  employed  an  explanatory  quantitative  approach  with  250  respondents  who  use  smart  speakers  in  Indonesia.  Data  were  analyzed  using  Partial  Least  Squares–Structural  Equation  Modeling  (PLS-SEM)  to  evaluate  the  interrelationships  among  variables  and  the  strength  of  mediation.  The  findings  reveal  that  business  ethics  significantly  and  positively  influence  consumer  trust,  which  subsequently  increases  purchase  decisions.  Moreover,  voice  commerce  enhances  the  emotional  connection  between  users  and  brands  through  natural  and  personalized  interactions,  although  privacy  and  data  security  remain  key  concerns.  Consumer  trust  acts  as  a  crucial  mediator  linking  ethical  business  practices  to  purchase  decisions.  The  results  confirm  that  the  integration  of  moral  values  and  digital  technology  shapes  ethical  and  sustainable  consumer  behavior.  This  study  concludes  that  the  success  of  digital  marketing  in  the  voice  commerce  era  depends  on  how  well  companies  uphold  fairness,  transparency,  and  social  responsibility  principles  in  the  use  of  voice  technology.  The  theoretical  contribution  lies  in  the  development  of  the  Ethical  Voice  Commerce  Framework,  while  the  practical  implication  emphasizes  the  importance  of  implementing  digital  ethics  governance  to  enhance  consumer  trust  and  loyalty.

Abstract

Investment is a current sacrifice made by investors with the aim of achieving future profits. One instrument investors utilize in investing is stocks, which offer high returns accompanied by high risks. Therefore, to minimize risk and maximize returns, investors require adequate information and accurate analysis of the stocks they choose. This study aims to analyze the fairness of stock prices of Investment Services sub-sector companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2024 period using fundamental analysis with the Price Earnings Ratio (PER) and Price to Book Value (PBV) methods. Purposive sampling was used as a sampling technique, and four companies were selected. The results showed that, based on fundamental analysis using the PER and PBV methods, two companies were overvalued and one company was undervalued. However, inconsistent results were found within one company. This study provides information that can be used as a basis for consideration by investors in making investment decisions, both to buy and sell shares, especially in the investment services sector.

Abstract

This systematic literature review examines how digital transformation reshapes small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through three lenses: business model reconfiguration, digital marketing strategy, and sustainable performance. Following PRISMA 2020, searches were conducted on 5 January 2025 across Scopus, Web of Science, Garuda, and SINTA using Boolean strings limited to titles, abstracts, and keywords. Of 312 records, 240 remained after deduplication, 75 underwent full-text assessment, and 28 articles published between 2018 and 2025 met the inclusion criteria (18 Scopus-indexed international and 10 SINTA-accredited Indonesian). Two reviewers screened independently (Cohen's kappa = 0.78 and 0.81), resolving disagreements through discussion; methodological quality was appraised using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool. The protocol was not registered, a limitation. Findings indicate that digital transformation drives a shift toward platform-based, data-enabled business models, mediated by dynamic capabilities and business model innovation. Digital marketing strategies, social media engagement, content-based storytelling, marketplace integration, and customer relationship management, act as a strategic capability converting digital adoption into measurable market performance. The link between digital transformation and sustainable performance across economic, social, and environmental dimensions is positive but conditionally moderated, particularly in resource-constrained contexts such as Indonesian MSMEs. The study proposes an integrative conceptual framework and practical recommendations for managers and policymakers.

Abstract

This study examines optimal portfolio construction within the context of the Indonesian capital market, focusing on an investor utility approach—specifically regarding BBRI and WIKA stocks. In an investment environment characterized by the risk-return trade-off, a utility-based approach is essential for explicitly capturing investor risk preferences. Consequently, this study aims to determine the optimal portfolio composition that maximizes investor utility, accounting for a specific level of risk aversion. The study employs a mean-variance theoretical framework extended by a quadratic utility function, with investor preferences represented by a risk aversion coefficient of 2.5. Stock return data are used to calculate expected returns and portfolio risk, as well as to determine optimal weights through a utility optimization process. The analysis reveals that the optimal portfolio is dominated by BBRI stock, comprising 98.28% of the portfolio, while WIKA stock accounts for only 1.72%. This combination yields an expected return of 0.43% and a risk level of 7.81%. The maximum utility value obtained is -0.0034. Although this utility value is negative, it remains theoretically valid; the utility function used is relative in nature and heavily influenced by the magnitude of risk and the investor's level of risk aversion during the optimization process. These findings indicate that, under certain conditions, a portfolio dominated by low-risk assets is preferred by investors with high risk aversion, even if it results in an absolute negative utility value. Thus, the study underscores the importance of considering investor risk preferences in investment decision-making and demonstrates that a utility value need not be positive to reflect an optimal investment decision.

Abstract

This study investigates the influence of product quality and promotion on brand switching, with brand image as a mediating variable, among Pepsodent toothbrush users in Kuningan Regency, Indonesia. Using a quantitative, descriptive-survey approach, data were collected from 190 respondents selected through purposive sampling. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with AMOS 23 was employed for analysis. Results reveal that both product quality (CR= 4.581, p < 0.001) and promotion (CR = 2.106, p = 0.035) exert significant positive effects on brand switching. Additionally, product quality (CR = 5.408) and promotion (CR = 3.034) positively influence brand image, which in turn significantly affects brand switching (CR = 1.984, p = 0.047). However, brand image fails to serve as a strong mediator between product quality or promotion and brand switching, as direct effects outweigh indirect effects. These findings suggest that consumers in competitive FMCG markets are more directly driven by perceived product quality and promotional stimuli when making brand-switching decisions, rather than being influenced through the brand image pathway.
