Members of the Jakpreneur community from the East and North Jakarta metropolitan areas made up the study's demographic. Accidental sampling was the method employed, with 237 respondents who volunteered to complete the author's questionnaire. Using SmartPLS software, a structural equation model is used for data analysis. The findings of the study demonstrate a direct relationship between self-efficacy and company performance entrepreneurial learning experiences and entrepreneurial team heterogeneity. Subsequently, self-efficacy can serve as a moderator to demonstrate the indirect impact of entrepreneurial team heterogeneity and entrepreneurial learning experience on business performance. Learning experiences and diversity in the team both boost self-confidence, which in turn creates a positive feedback loop between motivation and company performance.

Abstract

Background: The research on corporate governance and firm risk is of paramount importance from an economic standpoint, primarily due to its significant influence on company performance and stability. Effective corporate governance can play a pivotal role in mitigating corporate risks.Purpose: This study aims to investigate the impact of many factors related to corporate governance (such as board size, board independence, board meetings, board gender diversity, audit size, audit independence, audit meetings, audit quality, institutional ownership, and largest ownership) and earnings management on company risk. Furthermore, earnings management factors play a role in the connection between corporate governance and firm risk.Design/methodology/approach: The study employed a sample of three companies with the highest assets and three with the lowest assets from each sector listed on the Indonesian stock exchange throughout 2020–2022. For testing purposes, this study uses panel data and moderated regression analysis.Finding/Result: These findings show that several factors impact firm risk, including board meetings, board independence, discretionary earnings management, audit size, audit independence, institutional ownership, and largest ownership. Earnings management can mitigate the impact of audit attributes on corporate risk. Furthermore, studies have shown that earnings management plays a crucial role in reducing the influence of ownership structure on firm risk.Conclusion: The research results show that several proxies of corporate governance are able to reduce company risk. Earnings management further moderates the influence of these factors.Originality/value (State of the art): This research investigates the relationship between firm risk and a broad range of internal governance traits. It is important to note that only a few studies in the literature have examined this relationship because investors are concerned about return volatility, which is a gauge of a company's risk. This research can encourage improvements in corporate governance policies. Managers can use research findings to identify weaknesses in existing governance practices and develop more effective policies for managing risks associated with earnings management practices.

Data collection was done through self-completion by respondents using an online questionnaire via Google Forms. Data analysis was conducted using modeling techniques that explain the relationship between loyalty, customer satisfaction, and the performance of the marketing mix and service quality.

These efforts are expected to address declining revenue and maintain customer loyalty for PT XYZ.Originality/value (state of the art): This study uniquely explores customer satisfaction and loyalty in the niche market of school yearbook production.
