Abstract

Indonesia’s fast-growing foodservice sector intensifies operational pressure on quick-service restaurants, making employee performance a critical factor for service consistency and speed. This study aims to examine the effects of organizational culture, work motivation, and job satisfaction on operational employees’ performance at Mie Gacoan Suhat, Malang. A quantitative cross-sectional design was employed using a total sampling approach of operational employees; 35 usable questionnaires were analyzed. Data were collected through a structured Likert-scale survey (1–5) and analyzed using instrument testing, classical assumption checks, and multiple linear regression. The partial tests indicate that organizational culture (p = 0.270), work motivation (p = 0.103), and job satisfaction (p = 0.125) do not significantly predict employee performance individually, although all coefficients are positive. However, the simultaneous test shows a significant combined effect of the three variables on performance (F = 8.424; p < 0.001), with the model explaining 44.9% of the variance (R² = 0.449). These findings suggest that performance improvement is more effective when organizational culture, motivation, and satisfaction are managed as an integrated system rather than through single-factor interventions, providing practical guidance for strengthening HR practices in high-demand service settings.

Abstract

Tax aggressiveness by multinational companies is a serious problem in the international taxation system that causes a decline in state revenue. This study focuses on testing the effect of leverage and profitability on tax aggressiveness, with the research object being companies in the miscellaneous industry sector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2022-2024. Using quantitative methods and purposive sampling, this study produced 58 observations from 24 companies after eliminating outliers. The variables were measured using ETR for tax aggressiveness, DAR for leverage, and ROA for profitability. Multiple linear regression analysis using SPSS showed that leverage had no significant effect on tax aggressiveness (sig. 0.087 > 0.05), while profitability had a significant negative effect (sig. 0.000; coefficient -1.107). Simultaneous testing proved that both variables had a significant effect on tax aggressiveness (F count 11.180; sig. 0.000) with a contribution of 26.3%. The implications of this study provide input for tax authorities to increase supervision of companies with low profitability, as well as encourage companies to maintain a balance between tax optimization and regulatory compliance to avoid the risk of sanctions and damage to their reputation.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze human resource management strategies in realizing high-quality Islamic education through improving the performance and professionalism of educators. The background of this research is based on the crucial role of teachers as the main determinant of the quality of Islamic education, which still faces various challenges related to competence, performance, and professionalism. This study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method, using data collection techniques such as in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies conducted at Islamic educational institutions. The findings indicate that human resource management strategies, including systematic planning of teaching personnel, selective recruitment, competency-based placement, continuous professional development, and structured performance evaluation, play a significant role in enhancing teachers’ performance and professionalism. Furthermore, the integration of Islamic values such as trustworthiness (amanah), sincerity (ikhlas), responsibility, and exemplary conduct in human resource management practices contributes to the development of a positive Islamic work culture and supports the improvement of learning quality. Therefore, strategic human resource management grounded in Islamic values serves as a key factor in achieving sustainable and high-quality Islamic education.

Abstract

This study aims to assess the impact of brand image and service quality on consumer purchasing choices at KFC, addressing the research gap identified in several previous studies that examined these variables separately. This research adopts a quantitative approach using a structured questionnaire as the primary data collection instrument, which was distributed to 130 respondents selected based on predetermined criteria. The data collected from respondents were systematically analyzed and processed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software to ensure accuracy and reliability of the results. The findings of this study indicate that brand image has a significant influence on consumer purchasing choices, demonstrating the importance of positive perceptions, brand recognition, and brand trust in shaping consumer behavior. In addition, service quality was also found to contribute significantly to purchasing decisions, highlighting the role of responsiveness, reliability, and customer satisfaction in the fast-food industry. These results suggest that strengthening brand image and consistently delivering standardized, high-quality service are crucial strategic efforts for KFC management to enhance customer loyalty and maintain a sustainable competitive advantage in a constantly changing and highly competitive market environment.

Abstract

In the postmodern era, Christian leadership faces significant challenges, including power politics, moral compromise, and the distractions of digital spirituality. This research explores congregational perspectives on leadership obedience and trust, focusing on the integration of Christ-like character and professional management. Using a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach, the study examines how leadership trust is constructed through Mayer’s model of ability, benevolence, and integrity. The findings indicate that authentic Christian leadership is rooted in "servant leadership," where authority is viewed as a means of service rather than a position of power. Spiritual intelligence and self-control before God are identified as critical variables that foster congregational loyalty and organizational commitment. Furthermore, the study highlights that when leaders prioritize empathy and pastoral accompaniment over administrative functions, they create a resilient ministry environment capable of mitigating the negative impacts of church politics. The integration of rigorous accountability systems and genuine integrity ensures that the church maintains its moral relevance amidst digital consumerism. Ultimately, consistent character and spiritual depth serve as the primary social capital in building a healthy, transformative faith community. This research concludes that synchronizing theological values with professional organizational practices is essential for restoring congregational trust and ensuring sustainable spiritual transformation.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the effect of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) disclosure on firm value, with financial constraints serving as a mediating variable, in companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during the 2021–2023 period. The motivation for this research arises from the increasing attention of investors and stakeholders toward corporate sustainability practices and their potential implications for firm performance and value. This study adopts a quantitative approach using panel data obtained from the annual reports and sustainability reports of 78 sampled companies. Panel data regression is employed to analyze the relationships among variables, while the Sobel test is applied to assess the mediating role of financial constraints. The results indicate that ESG disclosure does not have a significant effect on firm value or financial constraints. These findings suggest that ESG practices and disclosures in Indonesia have not yet been fully perceived by the market as value-enhancing factors. Furthermore, financial constraints are found to have a significant negative effect on firm value, indicating that firms experiencing higher financial constraints tend to exhibit lower market value. However, financial constraints do not mediate the relationship between ESG disclosure and firm value. This study contributes to the existing literature on ESG by providing empirical evidence from an emerging market context and offers practical insights for corporate managers and investors in formulating sustainability strategies and investment decisions.
