Abstract

Research aims: The research was conducted at the Faculty Student Senate of Information Technology, Faculty Student Senate of Economics and Business, and Faculty Student Senate of Social and Communication Sciences at ABC University to explore three sides of whistleblowing, i.e., motives, reporting channels, and reporting media that can be used as a means of mitigating fraud in the management of student funds.Design/Methodology/Approach: This qualitative descriptive study used the primary data obtained through a questionnaire fill-out as an initial survey and further deepened through semi-structured interviews with the respondents. Some respondents involved were the treasurers of faculty, heads of SMF, and treasurers of SMF.Research findings: The results indicate that the intention of SMF functionaries to carry out whistleblowing aligns with the theory of reasoned action. Furthermore, the motives that underlie the whistleblowing intentions from external factors comprise organizational justice, the application of ethics in the work environment, and the whistleblower’s position in the organization. Meanwhile, the motives for internal factors include trust in the leadership, professional commitment, and confidence in the evidence of fraud. Anonymous reporting is also preferred for whistleblowing. Thus, as a reporting media, the university should provide an integrated whistleblowing system.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research is expected to be useful for the functionaries of the Faculty Student Senate at ABC University by providing knowledge and means of evaluating various motives and reporting channels that can encourage them to carry out whistleblowing as an effort to mitigate fraud. In addition, this research is anticipated to be used by ABC University to evaluate the policy of designing a whistleblowing mechanism and providing reporting media options that can be used. Theoretically, this research is hoped to be additional literature related to developing the whistleblowing concept in terms of motives, reporting channels, and reporting media on fund management fraud in student organizations.

Abstract

Research aims: This research aims to investigate the effectiveness of implementing management control practices (MPCs) and examine whether MPC is possible and how MPCs as a package "fit” with the strategic choices of Local Community Service Agency (BLUD) public hospitals (PHs) in Indonesia.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study applied mixed-method research with a sequential explanatory strategy. Quantitative data were collected through self-administered questionnaires distributed to 29 top management team members of eight BLUD PHs in East Java and Bali, Indonesia. Meanwhile, qualitative data were generated by conducting a semi-structured interview with four selected top management team members of BLUD PHs. The data were then analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively by implementing profile deviation analysis, cluster analysis, ordinal regression analysis, and content analysis.Research findings: Quantitatively, the researchers found a negative correlation, yet insignificant, between the “misfit” of MCPs and strategy and management control effectiveness. Thus, the “fit” hypothesis was not supported. Qualitatively, the researchers revealed that BLUD PHs extensively used MCPs and employed them in various ways, including cultural, administrative, and dominantly cybernetic controls. Finally, it can be concluded that using cybernetic controls as a dominant practice is unsuitable for the strategy chosen by BLUD PHs in Indonesia.Practical and Theoretical contribution/Originality: This study expands upon what has already been explored in the management control literature concerning how MCPs might be configured to align with organizational strategy, especially in the context of public healthcare organizations. Practically, the reformed PHs in Indonesia are expected to understand better the structure and characteristics of the BLUD-based financial management environment. It is essential for organizations, as it helps them figure out exactly how their management control practices and organizational strategies fit together.Research limitation: Due to the low questionnaire and interview participation, mixed-methods research was underutilized in this study.

Abstract

Research aims: This study investigates the role of firm characteristics explained by the investment opportunity (IO) on the ability of dividends to predict future earnings.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study performed an empirical study on firms listed in the consumer goods sub-sector on the Indonesian Stock Exchange, divided into companies with strong and weak IO categories to clearly see the role of IO by comparing the variable dividend coefficients of the two sample categories. Through purposive sampling, the researcher determined the research sample, totaling 42 firm samples for the weak IO category and 48 firm samples for the strong IO category. Then, the multiple regression analysis utilizing IBM SPSS Statistic Version 23 was employed to analyze the relationship between variables.Research findings: Surprisingly, companies with weak IO showed a more remarkable ability to predict future earnings than companies with strong IO because the dividend coefficient of companies with weak IO was higher than that of strong IO, denoting that the number could explain the strength of ability.Theoretical contribution/Originality: The result provides alternative explanations to the previous inconsistent results from the dividend's ability to predict future earnings. The result also supports the argument that the companies with weak IO may use dividends to convey information signals and compensate the investor for unsatisfied performance, which is called counter-signal when strong IO refrain from doing so and rely on additional information.Practitioner/Policy implication: Investors should notice companies' characteristics, such as investment opportunities, while considering dividends as a signal for future performance to make an investment decision. Research limitation/Implication: The research did not fully capture all companies in Indonesian Stock Exchange, but specifically for the companies’ sub-sector that aggressively paid the dividend. Thus, future research is hoped to provide empirical studies for other sector companies listed on Indonesia Stock Exchange to enrich alternative explanations.

Abstract

Research aims: The increasing number of fraud cases has significantly raised the whistleblower mechanism's role. Therefore, this study investigates the impact of the whistleblowing triangle on whistleblowing intention. The whistleblowing triangle combines the theory of fraud triangle and the theory of planned behavior to predict whistleblowing intention. The reporting system is required in an organization expected to strengthen the fraud prevention system related to increasing fraud cases.Design/Methodology/Approach: This research was conducted in the village credit institution listed in Denpasar. This selection was due to Denpasar having become Bali's second-highest number of fraud cases. Thus, it is necessary to understand whether the whistleblowing triangle can deter fraud. The research sample was selected among Village Credit Institution (VCI) employees in Denpasar using accidental sampling and generating 80 employees as respondents. This study used multiple regression analysis to test the hypotheses.Research findings: The results revealed that the whistleblowing triangle's components impacted whistleblowing intention. The intention to report fraudulent behavior was negatively impacted by pressure, while it was positively affected by opportunity and rationalization.Theoretical contribution/Originality: Most previous studies have investigated whistleblowing intention using the fraud triangle and theory of planned behavior separately. Meanwhile, this study used the whistleblowing triangle, combining fraud and planned behavior theory to predict whistleblowing intention.Research limitation: This study omitted financial incentives included in the previous research.

Abstract

Research aims: This study aims to investigate the impact of the thin capitalization rule on tax avoidance in Indonesia.Design/Methodology/Approach: The analysis used event study regression to overcome the problem of committed variable bias. Research findings: The examination found that, over the entire period, the thin capitalization rule could reduce tax avoidance. However, this study also uncovered that even though tax avoidance was reduced, the company did not pay the tax in the current year but postponed it to the following years. In addition, this study revealed that the thin capitalization rule could only reduce tax avoidance for a sub-sample of non-manufacturing companies. As for manufacturing companies, the thin capitalization rule had no impact on tax avoidance.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research is the first to examine the impact of the thin capitalization rule on tax avoidance using a suitable method, i.e., event study regression with a staggered setup.Practitioner/Policy implication: This study can show that the thin capitalization rule works well for non-manufacturing companies. However, for manufacturing companies, the Indonesian tax authorities need to consider other ways to reduce their tax avoidance, for example, by creating or updating other specific anti-tax avoidance rules, such as transfer pricing or treaty shopping.

Abstract

Research aims: This research examines the effect of transparency on the village community’s trust through village government performance as an intervening variable. Design/Methodology/Approach: The research was carried out using a survey method by distributing questionnaires to the village government in Jeneponto Regency, Indonesia. Totally, 196 questionnaires were filled in. Data analysis was then conducted by using Partial Least Square (PLS) approach. Research findings: The results revealed that the performance and transparency of the village government influenced public trust. The research emphasizes that the village government’s performance had an intervention role in the relationship between transparency and public trust. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research discovers that performance plays a role as an intervening variable between transparency and public trust in the context of a village government study. Research limitation/Implication: The research was only conducted in the scope of Jeneponto Regency; therefore, the generalization capacity was limited.

Abstract

Research aims: This research assessed the struggles of the village-owned enterprise of Raknamo Village in Kupang Regency, East Nusa Tenggara Province, to enhance performance.Design/Methodology/Approach: This research used a qualitative approach consisting of stages, such as data collection, data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. It collected data through in-depth interviews, non-participant observation, and document review. It analyzed data on performance indicators: resource provision, task implementation, outputs, and goal attainment that the village-owned enterprise struggles to accomplish.Research findings: This research uncovered that the village-owned enterprise of Raknamo Village faces difficulties even now, thus generally performing low in its efforts to provide resources needed, such as personnel, finances, and facilities, implement tasks, produce outputs/products, and attain goals. Specifically, it performed relatively well in renting tents and chairs, increasing little profit; however, it performed poorly in the savings and loan business and traditional weaving home industry, thus experiencing financial loss. The primary factors affecting such performance were the core managers' low managerial and entrepreneurial skills, financial inability and low cooperative attitude of the village society to repay loans, inability of village society to do profitable business, and low income.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research evaluated the struggles of the village-owned enterprise of Raknamo Village in Kupang Regency to boost performance, which prior studies have not widely investigated. Theoretically, this research is expected to add specified academic or analytical insight into the village-owned enterprises struggling as small business organizations to improve performance.Practitioner implication: The finding has profound implications that eliminating difficulties that hinder the village-owned enterprise’s performance and building its ability to perform better hereafter are both necessary. To reach this expectation, the government should create a capacity-building program for the village-owned enterprise.

Abstract

Research aims: This study explores the importance of information transparency for funders as parties who provide funding to borrowers' projects. It also analyzes information transparency practices in sharia P2P lending.Design/Methodology/Approach: The study used a qualitative case study, focusing on three sharia P2P lending companies in Indonesia. Data were collected through interviews with parties from three sharia P2P lending companies and 11 funders.Research findings: It was found that information transparency is important for funders, increasing their confidence to invest. In addition, based on multiple agency theory, there is information asymmetry between funders and sharia P2P lending borrowers, which can be reduced by information transparency measures from funders, sharia P2P lending, and borrowers based on cost-benefit considerations. Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research explores the application of information transparency in sharia P2P lending companies, which, as far as researchers are concerned, has not been raised in previous studies. In addition, the study builds a conceptual framework of information transparency in sharia P2P lending companies based on multiple agency theory. Practitioner implication: The research has implications for applying information transparency in sharia P2P lending, which can improve information updates and communication from sharia P2P lending to its funders.Research limitation/Implication: The study only focused on three out of the seven sharia P2P lending in Indonesia. Therefore, the differences in business, focus, and other characteristics of the remaining four were not considered.

Abstract

Research aims: This research aims to prove the effect of independent commissioner performance and audit committee expertise on earnings management to avoid earnings decreases and political connections to strengthen independent commissioner performance and audit committee expertise to limit earnings management.Design/Methodology/Approach: The population was manufacturing firms listed on Indonesian Stock Exchange during 2017-2020. The sampling technique used purposive sampling with a sample of 102 firms for four years or 408 observations. Then, hypothesis testing employed multiple regression analysis and hierarchical regression analysis.Research findings: The results showcased that accrual earnings management and abnormal discretionary expenses were used by managers to avoid decreases in earnings. On the other hand, corporate governance, like audit committee expertise, could be used to limit earnings management. While the political connection could strengthen and weaken the effect of independent commissioner performances in limiting earning management, political connections could not strengthen audit committee expertise in limiting real and accrual earnings management.Theoretical contribution/Originality: This research contributes to the political connection and earning management literature and provides empirical evidence of agency theory, positive accounting theory, prospect theory, and resource dependence theory.Practitioner/Policy implication: This research contributes to investors in determining investment decisions.Research limitation/Implication: The limitation of this research is that independent variables only used two components of corporate governance, i.e., the independent commissioner performances and audit committee expertise, so the level of influence of the independent variables on the dependent was small.

Abstract

Research aims: The COVID-19 pandemic caused capital market conditions, especially the banking sector, to decline. Therefore, a strategy is needed to help increase the market value of banking companies so that capital market conditions for the banking sector can be stable. The plan that can be implemented is to properly improve the management of the company's intellectual capital and improve efficiency in these banking companies so that the banking industry can develop and regain its existence in the capital market. This study aims to empirically test and prove the effect of intellectual capital on market performance mediated by banking efficiency.Design/Methodology/Approach: This study used a quantitative approach with a sample of banking sector companies on the Indonesia Stock Exchange in 2017-2021. The data met the criteria of 37 companies with a total of 117 observations. The banking efficiency testing method used Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Furthermore, the analysis of the hypothesis testing phase utilized multiple linear regression methods.Research findings: The study revealed that intellectual capital positively affected market performance. Second, intellectual capital had a positive impact on banking efficiency. Third, banking efficiency had a positive effect on market performance. Fourth, banking efficiency could fully mediate the relationship between intellectual capital and market performance.Practical and Theoretical Contribution/Originality: This study can provide input to companies to obtain high corporate value and competitive advantage. Thus, companies must pay attention to their intellectual capital. The results of this study were empirical evidence of the resource-based view theory in the utilization of intellectual capital and provided empirical evidence regarding the effect of intellectual capital on market performance through bank efficiency as a mediating variable.Research limitation: Business efficiency measurement utilized a non-parametric approach using Data Envelopment Analysis which has the limitation that each input and output unit is identical to other units of the same type.
