Dwi Nova Wijaya, Wendy Wendy, Helma Malini — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

This research investigates the moderating effect of celebrity CEOs on the relationship between corporate sustainability and firm value. A quantitative approach was utilized, analyzing data from 51 companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2014 to 2021 using regression analysis. While prior studies have explored the individual effects of either celebrity CEOs or corporate sustainability on firm value, this study addresses a gap by examining the interaction between these factors and its impact on firm value. The results reveal that although both the presence of a celebrity CEO and the implementation of corporate sustainability initiatives can enhance firm value, they do not necessarily create a beneficial synergy. In fact, the presence of a celebrity CEO may diminish the positive effects of corporate sustainability on firm value. These findings provide empirical evidence suggesting that companies should carefully assess the alignment between a CEO’s characteristics and the firm’s sustainability strategies to optimize value creation. The study underscores the importance of selecting a CEO whose attributes align with the company’s long-term sustainability objectives. These insights have practical implications for corporate management in making strategic decisions regarding CEO appointments and the execution of sustainability initiatives.

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.

M. Reza Oktananda, Evi Gantyowati — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

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.

Enhancing Bank Performance: Integrating Enterprise Risk Management with Mobile Banking Applications

Harsono Yoewono, Prabowo Ananto — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

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.

Risk management should be applied not only at the corporate level but also on a personal level. As technology becomes increasingly integral to daily life, implementing personal risk management in digital activities warrants examination. This study explores personal risk management within the context of online shopping. It investigates factors influencing personal risk management, including privacy concerns, perceived security threats, and internet self-efficacy. The study focuses on individuals from Generation Z, the first generation to grow up in a fully digital environment. Data were collected through online questionnaires, yielding 972 responses, of which 466 were analyzed further. The data were processed using SEM-PLS. The findings indicate that privacy concerns, perceived threats, and internet self-efficacy directly impact personal risk management, which in turn directly influences purchase intentions. This research offers valuable insights for regulators in crafting digital security regulations, for individuals in evaluating and enhancing their personal risk management strategies, for online retailers in designing robust data security measures, and for researchers as a contribution to the limited literature on this topic.

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.

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.

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.

I Gede Rihayana, I Nengah Aristana — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

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.

The Role of Attributes Organizational Commitment as mediators Between Work-Life Balance on Employee Performance

Gede Ariadi, Agisius Wandra — Fri, 29 Nov 2024 00:00:00 +0000

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.
