Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of tourist motivation, emotional experience, and community hospitality on memorable tourism experience among tourists visiting the Dieng Plateau. A quantitative approach was employed with a population consisting of tourists who had visited Dieng at least twice a year. A total of 112 respondents were sampled using accidental sampling. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with SPSS 25. The results indicate that tourist motivation positively affects memorable tourism experience (t = 4.658; sig = 0.000), emotional experience positively influences memorable tourism experience (t = 3.126; sig = 0.000), and community hospitality also positively affects memorable tourism experience (t = 3.413; sig = 0.000). The adjusted R² value of 55.6% shows that the three independent variables jointly explain more than half of the variance in memorable tourism experience, while the remaining 44.4% is influenced by other factors outside this study. These findings suggest that enhancing motivational elements, emotional impressions, and hospitality practices may strengthen visitor satisfaction and foster memorable experiences in tourism destinations.

Abstract

The increasing number of corruption cases in public institutions and state-owned enterprises (SOEs) such as PT Timah Tbk, PT Pertamina, and PT Asabri (Persero) indicates weaknesses in internal control systems and a decline in the moral integrity of public officials. This study employs the Fraud Triangle theory, which consists of pressure, opportunity, and rationalization, to identify the dominant factors contributing to fraudulent practices and their implications for national values. The findings reveal that opportunity is the most influential element driving fraud and corruption, followed by organizational pressure and moral rationalization by the perpetrators. Weak supervisory quality, transactional political culture, and the declining sense of nationalism are identified as key factors that intensify the potential for such misconduct.

Abstract

This study investigates the effect of the Green Intellectual Capital Index, corporate social responsibility (CSR) costs, capital structure, investment decisions, and corporate governance on the financial performance of companies included in the SRI-KEHATI index. The SRI-KEHATI index represents firms that demonstrate sustainable business practices through strong corporate governance, environmental responsibility, and social engagement. The research focuses on companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the 2019–2023 period. Secondary data were obtained from audited financial statements and annual reports. A purposive sampling technique was applied, resulting in a final sample of 20 companies with 100 firm-year observations. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression with the support of SPSS software. The results show that CSR costs, capital structure, and corporate governance have a significant simultaneous effect on financial performance. However, the Green Intellectual Capital Index and investment decisions do not exhibit a significant influence. These findings provide empirical evidence on the role of sustainability-oriented expenditures and governance mechanisms in enhancing corporate financial performance, particularly among firms committed to sustainable and responsible business practices.

Abstract

This study examines the relationship between auditor independence, corporate social responsibility (CSR), and carbon risk on earnings management, with good corporate governance (GCG) serving as a moderating variable. The research focuses on consumer non-cyclical companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the period 2019–2023. Using a purposive sampling technique, the final sample consists of firms that consistently published annual and sustainability reports throughout the observation period. Data analysis is conducted using Partial Least Squares–Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), supported by WarpPLS 7.0 software. The empirical findings reveal that auditor independence does not significantly influence earnings management practices. In contrast, corporate social responsibility is found to have a negative effect on earnings management, indicating that firms with stronger CSR engagement tend to exhibit lower levels of earnings manipulation. Meanwhile, carbon risk shows a positive and significant effect on earnings management, suggesting that higher exposure to carbon-related risks encourages managerial discretion in financial reporting. Furthermore, the moderating analysis demonstrates that good corporate governance does not moderate the relationship between auditor independence and earnings management, nor does it moderate the effect of carbon risk. However, good corporate governance strengthens the negative relationship between corporate social responsibility and earnings management. These findings contribute to the literature by highlighting the role of sustainability-related factors and governance mechanisms in shaping earnings management behavior. Practically, the results emphasize the importance of effective governance structures and CSR implementation in enhancing financial reporting quality.

Abstract

This study analyzes how ethical leadership and digital technology contribute to firm performance improvement, with good corporate governance (GCG) playing a reinforcing role. In an increasingly competitive business environment and rapid digital transformation era, organizations—particularly micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs)—are required to enhance leadership quality, leverage digital technologies, and apply sound governance principles to achieve sustainable performance. Ethical leadership is expected to foster trust, transparency, and responsible decision-making, while digital technology adoption enables firms to improve efficiency, productivity, and market access. Good corporate governance is assumed to support these relationships by strengthening accountability and organizational control. This research employs a quantitative approach using primary data collected through structured questionnaires distributed to MSME owners and managers. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistical analysis and moderated regression analysis (MRA) with the assistance of IBM SPSS. Ethical leadership, digital technology, good corporate governance, and firm performance were measured using Likert-scale instruments adapted from previous studies. The results indicate that ethical leadership has a positive and significant effect on firm performance. Digital technology adoption also positively influences firm performance. However, good corporate governance does not significantly moderate the relationship between ethical leadership and firm performance, nor the relationship between digital technology and firm performance. These findings suggest that while ethical leadership and digital technology directly enhance firm performance, governance practices in MSMEs remain insufficiently formalized to strengthen these effects. This study contributes to the literature by highlighting the combined role of leadership and digitalization in improving firm performance and provides practical implications for strengthening governance practices in MSMEs.

Abstract

The maritime industry plays a strategic role in supporting national economic growth; however, its performance is highly dependent on the quality and effectiveness of human resource management. This study aims to examine the role of competency-based human resource management in improving organizational performance within the maritime industry. Specifically, the research analyzes how employee competencies, training programs, and performance-based evaluation systems contribute to workforce productivity and organizational effectiveness. This study employs a quantitative research approach using survey data collected from employees working in maritime-related organizations, including shipping services, port operations, and maritime education institutions. Data were analyzed using multiple regression analysis to test the proposed relationships between competency-based human resource management practices and organizational performance indicators. The findings indicate that competency development, structured training, and transparent performance appraisal systems have a positive and significant effect on employee performance, which in turn enhances overall organizational performance in the maritime sector. These results highlight the importance of aligning human resource strategies with industry-specific competency standards to strengthen competitiveness and sustainability. This study contributes to the human resource management literature by providing empirical evidence from the maritime context, which remains underexplored in prior studies. Practically, the findings offer insights for maritime industry managers and policymakers to design effective human resource strategies that support workforce development and long-term organizational performance.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze strategic location management and its role in supporting competitive advantage and service performance in the banking industry. The research focuses on Bank Permata Hati operating in Semarang, a major economic hub in Central Java, where competition among banks is increasingly intense. Using a quantitative case-based approach, primary data were collected through questionnaires distributed to branch managers and operational staff, complemented by secondary data from internal reports and regional statistics. Strategic location management is measured through accessibility, proximity to customers, surrounding business activities, and infrastructure availability, while bank performance is assessed using service efficiency, customer growth, and transaction volume indicators. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis. The results show that strategic location management has a positive and significant effect on bank performance. Branches located in areas with high accessibility, dense economic activity, and adequate infrastructure demonstrate better service performance and higher customer acquisition rates. The findings imply that location strategy is not merely an operational decision but a strategic resource that supports sustainable competitive advantage in the banking sector. This study contributes to strategic management and banking literature by providing empirical evidence from a regional context and offers practical insights for bank management in optimizing branch location decisions.
