Investor Protection in Indonesia: Financial Ratios as Early Warning Indicators
The Indonesian government aims to enhance public engagement in the capital market by strengthening investor protection and financial literacy through the establishment of a Watchlist Board. This study identifies the most effective financial ratios for dis tinguishing between the performance of LQ45 and Watchlist Board firms. Using dis criminant analysis, the research examines a sample of 43 firms from the LQ45 index and 43 firms from the Watchlist Board between 2020 and 2022. The findings reveal four key financial ratios with strong differentiating power: Total Asset Growth, Re turn on Assets (ROA), Operating Cash Flow (OCF) to Current Liabilities, and OCF to Total Liabilities. Additionally, the study develops a predictive model that can fore cast company performance and serve as an early warning system for investors. Build ing on prior research in this area, the results highlight the critical role of profitability, efficient resource allocation, and robust corporate governance in fostering financial stability and safeguarding investor interests. This study not only provides a practical predictive model but also offers valuable insights for interpreting these financial ratios, particularly in the context of investor protection within emerging markets, such as Indonesia.

Impact of Organizational Readiness, Management Support, and Fintech on MSMEs Supply Chain Performance
Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) play a pivotal role in Indonesia’s eco-nomic stability, as demonstrated by their resilience during the 1998 economic crisis. This study examines the influence of organizational readiness, top management support, and financial technology on the supply chain performance of MSMEs in Pekanbaru, with the success of Accounting Information Systems (AIS) serving as a mediating factor. A pur-posive sample of 190 MSMEs was analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling-Par-tial Least Squares (SEM-PLS). The findings indicate that organizational readiness, top management support, and the success of Accounting Information Systems significantly enhance supply chain performance. In contrast, financial technology does not have a di-rect impact on supply chain performance. However, organizational readiness, top man-agement support, and financial technology all positively contribute to the success of Ac-counting Information Systems. Theoretical implications of this study reinforce the Re-source-Based View (RBV) and the DeLone & McLean Information System Success Model, emphasizing the importance of organizational readiness and top management support in improving supply chain performance through the success of Accounting In-formation Systems. Additionally, this research contributes to the literature on financial technology within the framework of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), high-lighting its potential to enhance supply chain integration and efficiency in MSMEs. These insights provide practical strategies for MSMEs to optimize their supply chain management by effectively leveraging organizational and technological resources.
Boycott Campaign Intensity on Consumer Boycott Intentions and Participation: The Role of Access to Substitute Products
This study examines the relationship between the intensity of boycott campaigns and the intention to participate in such campaigns, with a focus on the mediating role of boycott intention and the moderating effect of access to substitute products. Using a correlational approach, data from 210 respondents in the Kendari community who participated in the boycott of pro-Israel products were analyzed through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS 3.0. The findings reveal that the intensity of a boycott campaign signifi cantly enhances boycott intention by increasing consumer awareness and involvement. However, campaign intensity does not directly translate into actual participation due to barriers such as skepticism about the boycott’s effectiveness and campaign fatigue. Boycott intention, on the other hand, has a strong positive influence on participation, particularly among consumers motivated by moral and social values. While access to substitute prod ucts does not significantly moderate the relationship between boycott intention and partici pation, its availability positively impacts participation by reducing the personal costs asso ciated with the boycott. Boycott intention serves as the primary mediator between campaign intensity and participation, indicating that more intense campaigns foster greater intention to participate. The study highlights the theoretical and practical importance of understand ing campaign intensity, consumer responses, and the role of ethical values and social soli darity in boycott dynamics. Additionally, the availability of substitute products remains a relevant factor in facilitating participation. This research also opens avenues for further exploration into the influence of cultural factors on boycott behavior.
Social Media Marketing and Branding in Creating Willingness to Pay Premium Prices: A Study of Home Brand Tea Products
Gambyong, Kemuning Mbok Karti, and Gondang Sari are small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) tea brands that have established themselves as high-quality and well-recognized brands. As a result, they can charge premium prices for their prod-ucts and effectively market them through social media platforms. This study inves-tigates the impact of social media marketing and branding on consumers' willing-ness to pay premium prices for home-brand tea products. The research sample con-sisted of 159 customers of Gambyong Tea, Kemuning Mbok Karti Tea, and Gondang Sari Tea, selected using purposive sampling techniques. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire, and the analysis was conducted using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings reveal that social media marketing directly influences brand identity, brand awareness, and brand im-age. Furthermore, brand awareness significantly impacts both brand preference and consumers' willingness to pay premium prices. Similarly, brand image has a signif-icant effect on brand preference, which, in turn, strongly influences willingness to pay premium prices. This study offers a novel contribution by developing a model that highlights the role of social media marketing in shaping branding and driving consumer willingness to purchase home-brand products at premium prices. The findings have important implications for SMEs, emphasizing the strategic use of social media to enhance branding efforts and boost sales of premium products.
Income Optimization Model for Traditional Woven Craftsmen
This study aims to analyze and optimize the household income of Palembang woven fabric craftsmen. It employs an optimal response surface regression model to identify the ideal levels of working capital, business experience, partnerships, and working hours that maximize household income. To establish the relationship between the tar-get response and the independent variables, the study uses a second-order central composite design within a quadratic model framework. The research sample consists of craftsmen who are members of the Griya Tuan Kentang joint business group, with data collected through questionnaires. The findings indicate that the optimal working capital is IDR 12,069,541.74. This amount enables craftsmen to manage periods of declining demand and rising raw material costs while minimizing unnecessary ex-penses and increasing profitability. The study also reveals that 18.2 years of business experience is the optimal duration for achieving superior business performance. This level of experience allows craftsmen to set realistic, long-term business goals. Fur-thermore, an optimal working schedule of 7.99 hours per day ensures efficient produc-tivity without compromising work quality or work–life balance. Finally, maintaining a partnership for two years is identified as the ideal duration. This period encourages craftsmen to regularly evaluate and enhance the sustainability of their partnerships, effectively optimizing resources and networks.
The U-Shaped Effects of Financial Leverage and Firm Size on Cash Holding in Indonesia
This study examines the impact of financial leverage and firm size on cash holdings in Indonesia and explores how these effects differ before and during the COVID-19 crisis. The research utilizes unbalanced panel data, comprising 209 firm-year observations from 2018 to 2020. The findings reveal that financial leverage and firm size exhibit a U-shaped relationship with cash holdings. Specifically, in companies with low finan-cial leverage and small firm size, both financial leverage and firm size negatively affect cash holdings. Conversely, in companies with high financial leverage and large firm size, these factors positively influence cash holdings. The study also finds that financial leverage, regardless of whether it is low or high, has a consistent effect on cash hold-ings across the pre- and during-COVID-19 periods. However, the impact of firm size on cash holdings differs between small and large companies when comparing the pre-COVID-19 and during-COVID-19 periods. This research contributes to the literature on cash holdings by analyzing the U-shaped effects of financial leverage and firm size in manufacturing companies in Indonesia, employing a static random effects model.
Managing the Quantitative and the Qualitative : Innovating on the Dynamics of Performance Measurements, Professional Attitudes and Quality of Organizational Social Work Services in Sunshine Social Service Centre, Dezhou, China
This article is based on a research with a three-prong objectives. The first is to examine the connection between the attitudes of the social workers and their work execution quantified using PMT. The second is to investigate the connection between the performance measurement with the quality of the social services. The third is to analyze the link between social workers’ attitudes and the quality of social services. The essence is to explain the interconnection between the quantifiable measurements and the more subjective or qualitative attitudes vis-à-vis the quality of the social services rendered. The methodology employed is sequential explanatory research, whereby the quantitative data of 14 social workers from Sunshine Social Work Service Centre in Dezhou City, China will be explained by the qualitative deliberations. The results show that the first hypothesis that social workers oppose performance evaluation (PMT) is not supported while performance evaluation results directly impact social service project quality though it is not as significant as the attitude of social workers to achieve quality of social services. This suggests that the scientific rationality of current PMTs still requires improvement while positive attitudes of social workers towards performance evaluation contribute to achieving good outcomes in social service projects.
Relationship Beyond the Task: Leader-Member Exchange and Organizational Citizenship Behavior on Indonesian Generation Z Employees
The Indonesian hospitality industry must reengage a high-quality workforce composed of Generation Z, recognizing both its strengths and challenges. To achieve this, leaders should adopt a positive approach to fostering high-quality leader-member exchange (LMX) relationships, which can encourage employees to exhibit organizational citi-zenship behavior (OCB). However, there is currently a lack of research specifically examining the relationship between LMX and OCB among Generation Z employees in the Indonesian hospitality sector. This study seeks to address this gap by exploring the application of LMX dimensions and their influence on enhancing OCB within the context of Generation Z employees in the Indonesian hospitality industry. Employing a quantitative causal research design, the study analyzed data from a sample of 300 Generation Z employees working in the sector. The findings reveal that LMX has a positive and significant impact on OCB. Among the LMX dimensions, professional respect emerged as the most influential, followed by affect, contribution, and loyalty. This study highlights the critical role of leaders in recognizing and valuing the profes-sionalism of Generation Z employees as a means to foster positive extra-role behaviors. These findings underscore the importance of leadership strategies that prioritize ap-preciation and respect to enhance employee engagement and performance.
The Influence of Workload Towards Burnout Among Generation Z Employees in Indonesia: The Mediation Role of Work Stress
This study examines the relationship between workload and burnout, with work stress acting as a mediating variable among Generation Z employees in Indonesia. The research employs a non-probability sampling method, utilizing the Hair for-mula to determine the sample size. Data were collected through a questionnaire, resulting in a sample of 210 Generation Z employees in Indonesia. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares-Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). The findings indicate that workload has a significant and positive effect on burnout. Additionally, workload significantly and positively impacts work stress, which, in turn, significantly and positively influences burnout. Furthermore, the results demonstrate that work stress mediates the relationship between workload and burnout among Generation Z employees in Indonesia. These findings offer valuable insights for companies in Indonesia, highlighting the importance of man-aging workloads in alignment with employees’ capacities to reduce stress levels and prevent burnout. This is particularly critical for Generation Z employees, who may be more vulnerable to stress in the workplace.
Unlocking the Investment Mindset: Exploring the Determinants of Capital Market Participation Among Gen Z
The Indonesian capital markets have undergone a notable transformation, shifting from a savings-oriented society to one that is increasingly investment-oriented. This shift is particularly evident among Generation Z, who now constitute the majority of investors. In the Berau Regency of East Kalimantan Province, there has been a significant rise in individual stock ownership, reflecting a growing investment interest, especially among younger demographics. This study, conducted using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis with SmartPLS, examined 203 participants from the Generation Z population in Berau Regency. The findings indicate that financial literacy—encompassing knowledge of personal finance, savings, loans, insurance, and investment—along with financial behavior, plays a critical role in shaping an individual's investment preferences. Additionally, investment expertise was found to be advantageous for investors. However, minimum capital requirements and return on investment were not significant factors influencing investment preferences. In contrast, risk perception positively impacted investment preferences, with considerations spanning financial, social, performance, time, and psychological factors. These results provide valuable insights into the factors influencing investment interest in the capital market, particularly among young investors. To enhance the objectivity and applicability of future research, it is recommended to account for respondents' characteristics, geographical conditions, and more representative samples, as these factors may yield different outcomes.
Enhancing SME Export Performance in Indonesia: The Role of Learning Orientation and Pro-expansion Network Quality
This study explores the mediating role of pro-expansion network quality on the relation ship between learning orientation and export performance, the moderating impact of competitive intensity on the association between pro-expansion network quality and ex port performance, and the effect of international market selection on export performance. This research employed a deductive approach, grounded in the Resource-Advantage The ory, and a quantitative research design. Empirical model testing was conducted on SME exporters in Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia, using SEM AMOS. The findings reveal that all the direct relationships exert positive effects. In addition, this study ad dresses the research gap by demonstrating that pro-expansion network quality is a sig nificant mediator. However, there is no moderating role of competitive intensity. Pro expansion network quality positively correlates with export performance, regardless of the level of competition. Practically, these results highlight the importance of SMEs in investing in continuous learning, building pro-expansion network quality, and carefully deciding the international market selection to improve export performance. Limitations include the emphasis on a singular strategic orientation, mediator and moderator varia bles, a particular geographic region, and firm size, and the use of a cross-sectional data design. Future research should explore other strategic orientations, mediators, modera tors, and more diverse samples while employing longitudinal methods.
The Role of Attributes Organizational Commitment as mediators Between Work-Life Balance on Employee Performance
Work-life balance contributes to a healthy, satisfying, and successful life. An imbalance in work-life dynamics can negatively impact both employee performance and their personal lives. This study employs exchange relationship theory to explore organizational commitment as a mediating variable, which includes affective commitment, continuance commitment, and normative commitment, in the relationship between work-life balance and employee performance. The research focuses on employees of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in Salatiga Regency. Data were collected through questionnaires distributed to 111 respondents, and the analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. The findings reveal that affective and continuance commitments are crucial in linking work-life balance to employee performance. In contrast, normative commitment does not significantly influence this relationship. Theoretically, social exchange theory highlights that continuance commitment is a key mediator in the connection between work-life balance and employee performance.

The Impact of Perceived Organizational Support and Social Support on Employee Performance: The Mediating Role of Organizational Commitment
The aim of this research is to assess and elucidate the impact of perceived organizational support and social support on employee performance, with organizational commitment serving as a mediating factor. The study involved 543 employees from the Regional Secretariat Office of Southeast Sulawesi Province. A sample of 84 employees was selected using a proportional cluster random sampling technique. Data were collected through questionnaires and interviews. For statistical analysis, SmartPLS 4.0 software was employed to model structural equations. The findings reveal that perceived organizational support, social support, and organizational commitment all influence employee performance. Specifically, perceived organizational support does not significantly affect organizational commitment, whereas social support has a significant impact on it. Organizational commitment does not mediate the relationship between perceived organizational support and employee performance; however, it does mediate the relationship between social support and employee performance. The Regional Secretariat Office of Southeast Sulawesi Province and related stakeholders can utilize these findings to enhance employee performance by focusing on employee commitment, perceived organizational support, and social support.
Exploring the Role of Knowledge Sharing in Enhancing Innovative Work Behavior in Small Medium-sized Industries
This study investigates the impact of transformational leadership on innovative work behavior, with a focus on the mediating role of knowledge sharing. Data were collected through a questionnaire administered to 126 respondents from small and medium-sized export industries in Bali. The data were analyzed using SmartPLS 3.2.9. The findings indicate that transformational leadership has a significant effect on innovative work behavior. Furthermore, knowledge sharing serves as a mediator between transformational leadership and innovative work behavior. The study acknowledges limitations, such as potential bias from self-assessment methods. The implications suggest that leaders in small and medium-sized industries should gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between these variables and the mediating mechanisms involved. This information can be valuable for enhancing leadership performance and fostering innovative work behavior in these industries. Theoretically, this study contributes to the understanding of how leadership styles can enhance organizational behavior, particularly in promoting innovative work behavior.
Analysis of Expansive Fiscal Policy and Grants on International Trade in Indonesia
This study aims to determine the long-term and short-term effects of Government Expenditure, External Debt, and Grants variables on the Current Account Balance. This model uses the Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) model to achieve a long term and short-term balance. This study uses secondary data from world banks during the period 1983-2022 in Indonesia. This study proves that in the long run, Government Expenditure and Grants have a significant effect on the Current Account Balance. However, External Debt did not have a significant effect on the Current Account Balance. On the other hand, in the short term, Government Expenditure, External Debt, and Grants did not show a significant influence on the Current Account Balance. This study emphasizes the importance of the role of the Current Account Balance as the main pillar in assessing the level of economic progress in Indonesia. Expansive fiscal policy through increased government expenditure can strengthen the economy, especially when there is a surplus in the Current Account Balance. In addition, external debt can be used to cover the current account deficit, which ultimately has the potential to create a surplus. The influence of grants also has the potential to expand the reach of international trade, which has a positive impact on the Current Account Balance.
Globally, companies often face occupational fraud, which is considered the most damaging type of fraud for businesses, accounting for five percent of their annual income losses each year. Profiling is one effective technique for preventing and detecting occupational fraud. This process involves creating profiles of both fraud victims and perpetrators. This qualitative research, employing a descriptive study method, aims to analyze trends in victim profiles, types of fraud, and fraudster profiles over the past decade, using data from the Association of Certified Fraud Examiners (ACFE) for the years 2012–2022. The findings indicate that financial statement fraud results in the highest financial losses, despite being the least common type of fraud. Conversely, asset misappropriation is the most frequent type of fraud but results in the lowest financial losses. The most common profile of fraud perpetrators includes the following characteristics: male, aged between 31 and 45, employed in a non-managerial position, holding a bachelor's degree, having worked for one to five years, with no criminal history, and living beyond their means. Additionally, smaller firms are more susceptible to fraud, and organizations in the banking and financial sectors are particularly vulnerable to occupational fraud.
Implementing Situational Crime Prevention Theory in the Matter of Financial fraudulent
Fraud and financial crime continue to pose significant challenges for private companies, making prevention efforts essential through the identification of their root causes. This study examines the relationship between situational crime prevention and financial fraud, with a focus on employee tenure as a moderating variable. An empirical research method was employed, with data collected from employees of PT Budi Jaya and its subsidiaries through questionnaires. A total of 60 valid responses were analyzed using WarpPLS. The findings reveal that situational crime prevention—measured through indicators such as minimal benefits, high risks, limited opportunities, and strict sanctions—has a significant negative impact on financial fraud. Additionally, the study demonstrates that employee tenure moderates the relationship between situational crime prevention measures and financial fraud. This research makes a theoretical contribution to situational crime prevention theory by incorporating the concept of rationalization, which fraud perpetrators often use to justify their actions. The study offers practical insights, suggesting that companies and regulators should implement robust internal control systems to minimize opportunities for fraud and establish clear, stringent rules and sanctions to deter fraudulent behavior.
Enhancing Bank Performance: Integrating Enterprise Risk Management with Mobile Banking Applications
This study investigates how the implementation of mobile banking and enterprise risk management (ERM) contributes to the success of financial institutions in a rapidly evolving financial environment. To understand the relationship between ERM, mobile banking adoption, and bank performance, we surveyed 250 senior bankers from the 25 largest banks in Indonesia using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Our findings indicate that effective ERM implementation positively affects bank performance. Mobile banking enhances customer convenience, streamlines operations, and broadens market reach, increasing customer satisfaction, operational efficiency, and profitability. Additionally, using mobile banking applications mediates the positive indirect impact of ERM on bank performance. This research highlights that ERM's effect on Indonesian banking performance is partly mediated by adopting mobile banking applications. The study contributes to the literature on RBV theory, which suggests that banks can create innovative ERM strategies and leverage its unique resources, such as mobile banking, to remain competitive and sustain their performance. The innovation aligns with the principles of TAM, which highlights the significance of perceived usefulness and ease of use in technology adoption.
Underpricing in Indonesia: A Systematic Literature Review
This study employs the charting field method to empirically examine the evolution of underpricing research in Indonesia over the past decade (2014-2023). The research is categorized into four main areas: the development of underpricing studies in Indonesia, theoretical mapping, measurement mapping of underpricing, and causal relationship mapping. The findings reveal that underpricing research in Indonesia has advanced over the last ten years, albeit with fluctuations in the number of publications each year. The three most commonly applied theories in this field are signaling theory, information asymmetry theory, and agency theory. Initial return is the most frequently used measure of underpricing, accounting for 79% of the studies. Additionally, the causal relationship mapping highlights that many variables produce inconsistent results, indicating a research gap that future scholars can address. This study lays the groundwork for further exploration of the variables that influence underpricing, particularly by investigating underwriter reputation as a moderating factor. The research has practical implications for various stakeholders: Initial Public Offering (IPO) companies can use the findings to design more effective strategies, investors can rely on them to guide their investment decisions, and regulators can leverage the insights to develop policies that enhance transparency in the IPO process.
Venturing the Golden Indonesia 2045: Are Electricity and Broadband Development for Five Indonesian Priority Industries Impactful?
This study aims to examine the impact of electricity and broadband development on the progress of five priority industries in Indonesia. Initial findings indicate a mismatch between policy expectations and their impacts. This research collected secondary data from 2010 to 2019, using a time series approach and bootstrapping 1000 times to strengthen and cover the weaknesses of the method and the short time span. The results reveal that the electronics sector has the greatest beneficial impact both partially and simultaneously from all external variables. Additionally, four industries, except the automotive sector, show the same impact. This report emphasizes the necessity of synergy between digitalization and electrification, asserting the inseparable integration of policies. The automotive sector has experienced significant growth over the past decade, but it has not been directly impacted by these policies. Conversely, the food industry is affected and has emerged as the largest output producer, while other sectors are considered to have growth potential, indicating the need for alternative infrastructure initiatives. This study is expected to provide insights to all stakeholders regarding the impact of government policies and how to maximize business benefits amid global challenges.

Assessing Model of Tax Evasion and Firm’s Value: Moderating Role of Corporate Governance and Company Characteristics
This study aims to examine the effect of tax evasion and corporate governance on firm value. This model uses governance and company characteristics as moderating variables of the relationship between tax evasion and firm value. This study uses panel data consisting of 18 companies in the mining sector from 2016 to 2020. The approach used is panel data using Eviews 12. This research proves that tax evasion does not have a significant direct effect on firm value. This research finds that family management and ownership concentration have a significant influence on firm value. Family management has a direct negative impact on firm value. Ownership concentration and leverage have a direct positive effect on firm value. Return on assets and company size do not have a significant influence on firm value. Governance and company characteristics are found not to moderate the relationship between tax evasion and firm value. This research presents an initial study that focuses on the relationship between tax evasion efforts and firm value in mining companies, using six analyzed models.
Enhancing Customer Trust and Value for E-Commerce Sustainability
The rapid growth of online shopping in e-commerce applications emphasizes the role of after-delivery services provided by online sellers in gaining trust, satisfaction, and repurchase intention. Good after-delivery service and positive customer perceived value contribute to creating customer trust, which also affects repurchase intention. This paper aims to analyze the effect of after-delivery service, customer perceived value, and customer satisfaction on trust to increase repurchase intention. This research was conducted in Jakarta with a causality descriptive research design using a quantitative approach and purposive sampling technique.

Poor Performance of Small, Medium, and Micro Enterprises in South Africa: What has Race and Apartheid Got to Do with it?
Small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) are expected to contribute significantly to South Africa’s socioeconomic development. Despite the various private and public institutional agencies in place to bolster the role of SMMEs, these SMMEs continue to perform poorly. The poor performance of SMMEs has been linked to race and apartheid. Through a literature review, this study explored this attribution of SMMEs’ poor performance to race and apartheid, considering that many argue that the apartheid legacy is the root of many challenges encountered by SMMEs. The results are, however, ambivalent. They suggest that, although apartheid and race remain critical issues in explaining some existing structural challenges that SMMEs encounter, their effects may have been superseded by other post-apartheid issues that undermine SMMEs’ performance. Specifically, apart from continuing influences of apartheid-era challenges such as race-based barriers to markets and access to financial support, present-day issues such as corruption, bad governance, ill-conceived business strategies, and infrastructure challenges negatively influence the performance of SMMEs. Addressing these multifaceted issues requires coordinated efforts from the government, the private sector, and other stakeholders to create a conducive environment for SMMEs’ growth and success. We, therefore, conclude that the causes of the poor performance of SMMEs in South Africa stretch beyond race and apartheid and call for an exhaustive analysis of broader issues that undermine SMMEs’ performance in South Africa.

Financial Well-Being Model for Bank Employees: the Role of Financial Behavior as a Mediator
The aim of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the financial well-being of Bank Jatim employees in Indonesia. These factors encompass financial knowledge, financial socialization, internal locus of control, lifestyle, and current financial stress. Additionally, the study delves into the role of financial behavior as a mediator in this model of financial well-being. The respondents in this study are permanent employees of Bank Jatim, Indonesia, selected through purposive sampling. The findings reveal that financial knowledge, financial socialization, and current financial stress directly impact financial well-being. Internal locus of control affects financial well-being both directly and indirectly, mediated by financial behavior. However, financial behavior doesn't serve as a mediator for the influence of lifestyle on the financial well-being of bank employees. Furthermore, the results do not provide sufficient evidence for financial behavior mediating the effects of other determinant variables. For the company, this implies that enhancing the financial well-being of bank employees should involve efforts to augment their financial knowledge, promote financial socialization, and encourage a composed approach to managing their financial situations. As for bank employees, achieving financial well-being necessitates maintaining an internal locus of control and exhibiting prudent financial management behaviors.

Does Corruption Affect Foreign Direct Investment? Empirical Evidence from ASEAN Plus Three Countries
Corruption poses a significant challenge in numerous countries, impacting foreign investment, including those within the ASEAN Plus Three (APT) region. This study aims to ascertain the influence of corruption and other factors—specifically, the exchange rate, political stability, and economic growth—on the appeal of foreign direct investment in APT countries. The research employs the Error Correction Model (ECM) for statistical testing to analyze both short- and long-term effects. The findings indicate that corruption and exchange rate fluctuations do not exert a significant impact on foreign investment inflows into APT countries, regardless of the time horizon. In the short term, a surge in corruption cases tends to diminish the interest of potential foreign direct investors. However, over the long term, foreign investors anticipate that APT countries will adopt more stringent measures to combat corruption, thus fostering a corruption-free environment. This expectation is bolstered by the presence of political stability and robust economic growth in APT countries, which stand as pivotal considerations for foreign direct investment. Therefore, APT countries, particularly Indonesia, ought to establish transparent investment guidelines, root out corruption, ensure political stability, maintain exchange rate stability, and prioritize policies aimed at stimulating economic growth in order to entice foreign investment.
Impact of Personality Traits on Green Budgeting: The Mediation Role of Environmental Concern and Locus of Control
This study examines the influence of environmental concern and locus of control on the relationship between personality traits and the intention to implement green budgeting. Data was gathered through questionnaires distributed to 269 managers of regional organizations in Bali Province. The analysis utilized the partial least squares method. The findings indicate a positive impact of personality traits on the intention to implement green budgeting. This relationship is fully mediated by environmental concern, openness to experience, extraversion, and neuroticism. Additionally, the personality trait of conscientiousness is partially mediated by environmental concern. Furthermore, locus of control partially mediates the influence of personality trait agreeableness on the intention to implement green budgeting. In light of these results, increasing environmental awareness, especially with regard to individual factors like agreeableness (interpersonal harmony) and locus of control from the budget holders, can enhance the intention to implement green budgeting. This can be achieved through education and self-development programs. The implications for budgeting policies are to provide recommendations for strategy and program planning that contribute to the enhancement of environmental quality.

The Role of Social Media Usage on Conspicuous Online Consumption among Millennial Consumers
The ubiquity and maturation of the Internet and social media have given rise to social phenomena that impact consumer behavior, particularly in the realm of conspicuous online consumption. This study builds upon prior research by examining the factors influencing conspicuous online consumption among millennials in Jakarta who engage with social media platforms like YouTube and Instagram. The research methodology involved an online survey administered to 400 respondents, with data subsequently analyzed through a structural equation model, utilizing SmartPLS 4.0 software. The results illuminate a noteworthy positive correlation between the four variables studied. Moreover, they indicate that feelings of envy and materialism serve as mediating factors in the relationship between social media usage and conspicuous online consumption. In sum, this study offers valuable insights into the comprehension of conspicuous online consumption and its associated variables, bearing significance for both theory and practical applications. However, it's important to note certain limitations, such as the exclusive focus on the millennial cohort in Jakarta and the fact that the selected social media platforms were not explicitly linked to the mediating variables. Future research endeavors should explore the attitudes of other cohorts toward conspicuous online consumption among social media users.
