Abstract

Profitability is one of the important indicators in assessing a company's financial performance. The level of profitability can be influenced by various factors, including capital structure and net profit. An imoptimal capital structure can increase a company's financial risk, while net profit reflects a company's ability to generate profits from its operational activities. Therefore, research is needed to determine the influence of capital structure and net profit on profitability in manufacturing companies in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX). This study aims to analyze the influence of capital structure measured by Debt to Equity Ratio (DER) and net profit on profitability as measured by Return on Equity (ROE) in manufacturing companies in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange for the period 2020–2025. The research method used is a quantitative method with an associative approach. The data used is in the form of secondary data obtained from the company's annual financial statements published through the Indonesia Stock Exchange and the company's official website. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample of five companies. Data analysis was carried out using multiple linear regression analysis to test the influence of independent variables on dependent variables. The results of the study show that empirical evidence was obtained regarding the influence of capital structure and net profit on the profitability of the company. This research is expected to contribute to companies in managing capital structures effectively to increase profitability, as well as being a consideration for investors in making investment decisions.

Abstract

This study examines the influence of emotional intelligence and work motivation on employee performance at the Regional Office of the National Unity and Political Agency (Badan Kesatuan Bangsa dan Politik) of Banggai Laut Regency. The study aims to determine whether emotional intelligence and work motivation have partial and simultaneous effects on employee performance, as well as to identify the variable with the most dominant influence. This research employed a quantitative approach using a field research method through interviews, questionnaires, documentation, and literature review. The data were analyzed using statistical techniques, including Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) or the F-test. The findings indicate that emotional intelligence has a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Work motivation is also proven to have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Furthermore, work motivation was found to be the most dominant variable influencing employee performance. Simultaneous testing revealed that emotional intelligence and work motivation jointly have a positive and significant effect on employee performance. Based on these findings, improving employee performance within the organization requires greater attention to both emotional intelligence and work motivation. Strengthening self-awareness, interpersonal skills, motivational support, and a supportive work environment can help employees perform more effectively and achieve organizational goals

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effect of the Human Development Index (HDI), open unemployment rate, and minimum wage on poverty levels in regencies/cities in Central Java Province during the period 2021–2025. This research employs a quantitative approach using secondary data obtained from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) and is analyzed using panel data regression. The model selection was conducted through the Chow Test and Hausman Test, which indicate that the Fixed Effects Model (FEM) is the most appropriate model. The results show that all independent variables simultaneously have a significant effect on poverty levels, with a probability value of F-statistic of 0.000 and a coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.987. Partially, the open unemployment rate has a positive and significant effect on poverty, while the minimum wage has a negative and significant effect on poverty. Meanwhile, the Human Development Index (HDI) has a negative but insignificant effect on poverty levels. These findings suggest that job creation and appropriate wage policies play a crucial role in reducing poverty, while improvements in human development must be accompanied by adequate employment opportunities to achieve optimal outcomes.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of TikTok social media influencers, brand image, and lifestyle on consumers' purchase intention toward Avoskin skincare products in Batam City. The research is motivated by the rapid growth of TikTok as a digital marketing platform that is widely utilized by companies to attract consumer interest in skincare products. This study employed a quantitative approach with descriptive and verificative methods. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 116 respondents who were residents of Batam City, at least 17 years old, active TikTok users, and familiar with Avoskin products. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS through validity testing, reliability testing, classical assumption testing, multiple linear regression analysis, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination analysis. The results indicate that all research instruments are valid, reliable, and meet the classical assumption requirements. Partially, TikTok social media influencers have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention with a significance value of <0.001, brand image has a positive and significant effect with a significance value of 0.036, and lifestyle has a positive and significant effect with a significance value of <0.001. Simultaneously, the three variables have a positive and significant effect on purchase intention with a significance value of <0.001. The coefficient of determination (R²) value of 0.693 indicates that 69.3% of the variation in purchase intention can be explained by TikTok social media influencers, brand image, and lifestyle. These findings demonstrate that the three factors play an important role in increasing consumers’ purchase intention toward Avoskin skincare products in Batam City.

Perkembangan live commerce telah mengubah perdagangan digital menjadi pengalaman berbelanja yang interaktif, menghibur, dan berlangsung secara real-time. Di Indonesia, TikTok Shop menjadi salah satu platform social commerce yang berkembang pesat, terutama di kalangan Generasi Z yang memiliki tingkat literasi digital dan intensitas penggunaan media sosial yang tinggi. Meskipun penelitian mengenai live commerce terus meningkat, kajian yang mengintegrasikan Host Credibility dan Entertainment terhadap Impulse Buying melalui Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) masih terbatas, khususnya pada konteks TikTok Shop di Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan menganalisis pengaruh Host Credibility dan Entertainment terhadap Impulse Buying melalui FoMO pada mahasiswa Generasi Z di Kota Makassar. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kuantitatif dengan desain explanatory research.

Abstract

Purpose: This research aim to (1) analyze the implementation of the P2L Program in Women Farmer Groups (KWT) and Adult Farmer Groups (KTD) in Bogor City and Cianjur Regency, (2) analyze supporting and inhibiting factors affecting program success, and (3) formulate development strategies for sustainable yard management to support household food needs and income. Research Design and Methodology: A descriptive quantitative design supported by qualitative data was applied. Primary data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, expert assessment, and field observation involving 20 farmer groups/ 60 respondents, and 9 key informants. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, internal factor evaluation, external factor evaluation, internal-external matrix, SWOT, and Quantitative Strategic Planning Matrix. Findings and Discussion: P2L generated good to very good outcomes, although the pattern differed across regions. Bogor City performed higher in economic and socio-environmental aspects, while Cianjur Regency slightly outperformed in food security. The IFE score of 2,520 and EFE score of 2,740 positioned the program in Cell V, indicating a hold-and-maintain strategy. Implications: Sustainable P2L development requires stronger group institutions, continuous extension support, adaptive technologies, stakeholder collaboration, and market-oriented yet household-food-based product development.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze regional inequality in Sulawesi Island and evaluate the roles of economic growth, investment, and government expenditure in influencing interregional disparities. Utilizing panel data from six provinces in Sulawesi over the 2012–2022 period, the analysis employs the Panel Least Squares method with a Random Effects Model (REM) approach. The estimation results indicate that economic growth has a positive but statistically insignificant effect on inequality (p-value = 0.1261), while investment shows a negative and likewise insignificant impact (p-value = 0.3415). In contrast, government expenditure exerts a positive and statistically significant effect on regional inequality (p-value = 0.0080). The R-squared value of 0.832961 suggests that the model explains approximately 83.30% of the variation in regional disparities. Furthermore, the F-statistic test confirms the overall significance of the model (Prob. F-statistic = 0.000000). These findings imply that among the three examined variables, only government expenditure significantly influences regional inequality in Sulawesi during the study period. The results underscore the importance of fiscal policy orientation and investment strategies that prioritize equity in regional development

Abstract

This study was motivated by the crisis of consumer trust in the influence of food purchasing intentions on social media, where content is currently not objective, as reflected in the viral phenomenon of disputes between food content creators who exaggerate their assessments and content creators who base their assessments on honest results. The main problem faced by culinary marketing industry owners today is the decline in the quality of relationships between influencers and their followers, which will have an impact on low consumer purchasing interest. This study examines the influence of persona attributes consisting of similarity, inspiration, and level of enjoyment, as well as the credibility of influencers on relationship quality and purchase intent. The research method used was hypothesis testing and cross-sectional data, with respondents obtained through an online survey using a Likert scale to assess each item. The researchers gave 27 questions to each respondent. This study obtained 270 respondents who met the classification determined by the author. The minimum age studied by the author was 17 years old, as it was expected that respondents would be able to understand the role of social media. This study used the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) method, which was very interesting to explore.
