Abstract

This research investigates how firm age and environmental performance influence the financial performance of manufacturing firms listed in Indonesia and Malaysia over the 2021–2025 period, with Return on Assets (ROA) used as the proxy for financial performance. A panel data regression approach with a purposive sampling method was applied, and the Hausman test identified the Fixed Effect Model as the most appropriate estimation technique. Diagnostic checks confirm that the model satisfies normal distribution, is free of multicollinearity, and shows no autocorrelation, though heteroscedasticity was detected and corrected using robust standard errors clustered at the firm level. Finding show that environmental performance does not have a major impact.affect financial performance, while firm age has a significant negative impact influence on financial performance. These results are interpreted using Legitimacy Theory, which views environmental initiatives as a means of compliance rather than a short-term profit motive, and Firm Life Cycle Theory, which links older firms to organizational inertia and rigid structures that diminish profitability. This research offers comparative evidence on the links between environmental performance and financial outcomes.performance,as well as the relationship between firm age and financial performance.drawn from two manufacturing markets in ASEAN.

Abstract

The rapid growth of live-streaming commerce has significantly transformed consumer purchasing behavior, particularly through platforms such as TikTok Shop Live in Indonesia. However, limited research has thoroughly investigated the interplay between service quality dimensions and psychological factors that influence consumer behavior in this context. This study aims to examine the effects of interface quality, information quality, requirements consistency, and time pressure on perceived value, as well as the subsequent impacts of perceived value on product satisfaction, product trust, purchase intention, and continuous watching. Quantitative research was employed using an online survey of 243 TikTok Shop Live users in Indonesia, and the data were analyzed using SEM-PLS. The findings reveal that interface quality, information quality, requirement consistency, and time pressure significantly enhance perceived value. Perceived value subsequently increases product satisfaction, which strengthens product trust and ultimately influences purchase intention and continuous watching intention. These results extend the use of the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) framework to the study, offering practical impacts for platform providers and sellers seeking to enhance customer engagement, trust, and purchase outcomes by improving service quality and customer value creation

Abstract

This study examines corporate tax avoidance in the Indonesian property and real estate industry, where tax-related practices may affect corporate governance and public revenue. Companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) between 2020 and 2024 are included in the empirical setting. With leverage included as a control factor, special attention is paid to three potential determinants of tax avoidance: profitability, internal control, and anti-corruption procedures. Quantitative data were obtained from annual and sustainability reports, resulting in 150 firm-year observations from 30 companies selected using predefined sampling criteria. Panel regression analysis was employed to examine the association between the explanatory variables and corporate tax avoidance. Tax avoidance is proxied by the Effective Tax Rate (ETR), calculated as income tax expense divided by pre-tax income, where a lower ETR indicates a higher level of tax avoidance. The results indicate that profitability is negatively associated with ETR, suggesting that more profitable companies tend to exhibit higher levels of tax avoidance. However, internal control and anti-corruption procedures are not statistically significantly associated with tax avoidance. Leverage, as a control variable, also shows no statistically significant association with tax avoidance. This study contributes to the literature by providing empirical evidence on the relative importance of financial and governance-related factors in explaining corporate tax avoidance in the Indonesian property and real estate sector.

Abstract

The increasing competition in the local skincare industry has encouraged brands such as MS Glow to use celebrity endorsement and brand image to influence consumers' purchase decisions. However, previous findings regarding the effects of these factors on purchase decisions are not always consistent, and the mediating role of trust remains insufficiently examined, particularly among university students. This study addresses this gap by simultaneously examining celebrity endorsement and brand image and testing trust as a mediating variable in the context of MS Glow skincare products among Universitas Negeri Padang students. A quantitative causative approach was employed using purposive sampling, involving 100 students who had purchased MS Glow products. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling with SmartPLS 4.0. The results show that celebrity endorsement significantly affects trust, but does not significantly affect purchase decisions. Brand image significantly affects trust and purchase decisions. Trust significantly affects purchase decisions. Trust does not mediate the relationship between celebrity endorsement and purchase decisions, but significantly mediates the relationship between brand image and purchase decisions. These findings highlight the importance of strengthening brand image and consumer trust in supporting MS Glow purchase decisions.

Abstract

This study examines the effects of learning motivation and the learning environment on student engagement, with self-efficacy serving as a mediating variable, among students at State Vocational High School 2 Pariaman. Employing a quantitative approach with a causal research design, the study involved a population of 741 students enrolled in Grades X and XI. A sample of 170 students was selected to participate in the research. Data were analyzed using the Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method through SmartPLS version 4.1.1.8. The findings indicate that both learning motivation and the learning environment each exert a positive and statistically significant effects on student engagement. Likewise, these two variables significantly enhance students' self-efficacy. In addition, self-efficacy demonstrated a positive and significant effect on student engagement. The mediation analysis further confirmed that self-efficacy significantly mediates the relationships between learning motivation and student engagement, as well as the relationships between the learning environment and student engagement. Overall, these findings highlight that improving students' learning motivation, creating a supportive learning environment, and strengthening self-efficacy are key factors in fostering greater student engagement in the learning process.

Abstract

Recent changes in baggage fee policies and fluctuations in ticket prices on Low-Cost Carrier (LCC) airlines pose a challenge for airlines to sustain passenger loyalty within a highly competitive market. Existing research indicates conflicting findings regarding the impact of price adjustments and service quality on repeat purchase intentions. To address this empirical gap, this study investigates the effect of brand awareness, service quality, and airline pricing policy on Citilink's consumer preference at Hang Nadim Airport. Analyzing survey data from 103 passengers using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), the validated model accounts for 63.1% of the variance in consumer preference. The results indicate that brand awareness, service quality, and airline pricing policy have a significant effect on consumer preference, with airline pricing policy being the predictor with the largest path coefficient. These findings are expected to be policy material for airlines in implementing low ticket price policies optimally.

Abstract

Critical thinking is an essential skill in Economics education because students need to analyze problems, evaluate information, and formulate appropriate solutions. This study examined the effect of Problem-Based Learning (PBL) assisted by animated videos on the critical thinking skills of Phase E Economics students at SMA Negeri 4 Padang. A quantitative quasi-experimental study with a pretest-posttest control group design involved 72 students selected purposively from two classes. Class X.E5 (n = 36) was the experimental group and Class X.E1 (n = 36) was the control group. Data were collected using 10 open-ended questions measuring analysis, evaluation, and inference. The instrument was reviewed by experts and demonstrated acceptable reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.825). Data were analyzed using ANCOVA, with pretest scores as a covariate, and N-Gain to assess improvement. The ANCOVA results showed a significant difference between the groups after controlling for initial ability (F = 25.904, p < 0.001, partial η² = 0.273). The adjusted mean was 79.49 for the experimental group and 66.62 for the control group. N-Gain values were 0.67 and 0.47, respectively, both categorized as moderate. These findings indicate that PBL assisted by animated videos can support the development of students’ critical thinking skills in Economics learning.

Abstract

The frequent oil spills in Niger Delta have continued to create serious environmental, economic, and social problems, despite several regulations and environmental management over the years. This study focuses on oil spill monitoring and management in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria through the application of artificial intelligence from the perspective of environmental economics and sustainable development. A mixed-methods research design using quantitative and qualitative data collected from environmental agencies, oil company staff, community leaders, environmental activists, intellectuals, and policymakers from Rivers, Bayelsa, Delta, and Akwa Ibom States were adopted for the study. Sustainable development theory, environmental Kuznets curve theory, and technology acceptance model were the study bases. Findings indicate that AI-driven technologies significantly improve the speed, accuracy, and efficiency of oil spill detection, environmental risk assessment, and remediation planning. It also finds that AI adoption positively impacts the environment, reduces environmental degradation and improves community livelihoods. However, challenges relating to data infrastructure, institutional capacity, funding, and policy implementation remain major obstacles. Study findings reveal that AI-based environmental monitoring systems can contribute to promoting sustainable environmental development and enhancing environmental accountability in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Policy recommendations are offered to governments, oil companies, environmental stakeholders, etc.
